That begins Monday, when the Women's Battalion goes into ac tion. In the meantime, the stunt commit tee under Frank E. I.owenstein was framing up a few things to keep At lanta from forgetting the Liberty Loan campaign is under way.

Considerable noise 1s expected to accompany the campaigm next week, ior a big bell will be rung whenever a bond is sold, and a cannon concealed near the heart of the city will boom at short intervals.

By a series of brilliant counter as saults the British first division threw ‘the Germans from all the objectives they had gained in this district and sent them reeling back to their old positions. Again heavy German losses marked the course of the combat, The successful British attacks in this zone and a flare-up of fighting near Robecq broke the infantry lull, which had been existing in the Flan ders battlefleld.

Whether or not the extension of the fighting southward to the Scarpe River zone (east of Arras) has any sigrificance is yvet to be seen. Germans Nearly Exhausted.
