FICHT FOR EVERY INCH !
GROUND BEFORE LENS

LONDON, Aug. 22.—General Haig
Teports that last night the Germans
kept up an almos't continuous roudn
of heavy night attacks in the Lens
sector, in a desperate effort to re
capture the positions which were
recently lost by them. All of these
were repulsed and the enemy losses
must have reached a record.
Today the second, phase. of the |
Lens battle began when a general
advance was ordered.
The fighting was desperate in the
extreme both being at close quar
ters north and south as well as west
of the city.
The British made progress cap
turing additional positions and are
holding all of them.
The grip on this important sector
is slowly tightening upon the part
of the Haig forces and its capture
is only a matter of time.
PARIS, August 22.—The French
advance in the Verdun sector was
resumed this morning, additional
gains being reported, this time on
the East bank of the Meuse where
the Germans were driven from some ,
positions in front of De Vaux where
they have been entrenched for the
past few days. The battle is con
tinuing in this region.
Attacks on the Aisne were re
pulsed i>y the French.
ALLIES NOW CONFER ON
POPE’S PEACE PLANS
i
LONDON, Aug. 22.— It is practi
cal taken for granted that the En
tente nations are now engaged in
considering at length the peace pro
posals of the Pope.
Since the statement made by Cecil
in the Commons there is a general
disposition to await the action of
such a conference.
The outlook for any acceptance is
frankly not optimistic and there is
little generally observable inclina
tion to accept what is known as the
principal terms therein as likely to

afford the basis for any settlement
much less a preliminary negotiation
leading to that end.
One stumbling block to peace is
without doubt the fact that a sus
pension of hostilities, an armistice
in fine, would greatly advantage one
side and greatly detract the fav
orable position of the other. Hence
among the Allies there is no dispo
sition to accept the terms.
German disposition is in favor of
peace according to Amsterdam dis
patches today although reports
show that they are inclined to pro
