GERMANS MOVE BACK
THE HEADQUARTERS
LONDON. Aug. 2.—With better
weather prevailing today the Anglo
French armies prepared lor the se
cond phase of their drive in West
Flanders with the general forward
movement beyond the captured Ger
man lines being ordered. The fight
ing today between the British and
the Germans was especially violent
and bitter with the former taking
possession of the new lines righ:
before and southeast of Ypres where
the Teuton counters yesterday had
been so heavy. The most important
development today was the move
ment eastward of the German head
quarters, which have been rushed
back be>ond the rain of shells from
the advancing Allied guns.
The papers comment upon the
daring of the British and French
commanders in moving up under
cover of the night before they be
I gan their drive immense munition
j supplies, high explosive shells and
heavy guns which were placed right
behind the Allies lines. It lias been
'this reinforcement that has been
the greatest aid in advancing so far
and holding all gains, on account ot
the terrific fire that the Allies have
been aide to maintain constantly on
the rccervo lines of the Germans.
The Germans are retiring rapidly
today before the Allied assaults,
Haig reports four thousand German
ricor.ers an the capture of every
position attacked by the infantry
today. These claims are cited “as
very important.”

BUTTE, Aug. 2.—Federal and
State officials today began an inves
tigation of the lynching ot Frank
Little.
The Federal district attorney with
a number of Department of Justice
agents began their investigation
upon the summary orders of the
United States Attorney General
who assured the representatives of
Little that a searching probe would
be made and everything done to
bring the guilty ones to justice.
The strikers are amazed at tlie
daring of the gunmen and friends
of Little scout the idea that it was
the work of any others than the
armed assassins of the mining com
panies.
They declare that positively they
are they guilty ones. The belief is
gaining ground in conservative circ
les that some of these desperadoes
who have been brought in by the
companies did the work.
The murder will strengthen the
strikers in their resolution to stand
firm against the companies irnmen
sely and it was one of the worst
acts could ha\e been perpetrated if
it was expected to terrorize the]
strikers, for it has acted in quite
the reserve manner. It has especi
ally served to direct attention to
the lawless acts of the gunmen and
which they carried out with impun
ity and immunity in the city. Tin
stir that the lynching has made
throughout the country is alarming
employers everywhere and labot
was never so restive.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 2—The ser
ious nature of the Anglo-French
drive is affecting in an important
manner the German plans.
Today the Kaiser called a coun
cil of war to consider the western
front situation and which is to meet
in Brussels.
Even German papers, which of
late are publishing astonishing
stories of victories have completely
superessed all reports ol' the fight
ing in the west. Refugees coming
in from Belgium, many of them Ger
man deserters who have escaped in
cognito, say that the trains of
wounded going back front the front
in Belgium show that the German
losses were staggering.
GENEVA, Aug. 2.—The G : • ral
Staff admits that somewhat seri ms
losses were incurred bv the German
forces when they delivered severe
and successful counters against the
Allies in Flanders. The heav> mud
following the rain norms i au.-cd
some delays which were taken ad
vantage of by the enemy.
PETROGRAD, Aug. 2.—It is offi
cially announced that General Kor
niloff lias been named commander
in chief of the Russian forces, suc
ceeding General Brussiloff who re
signed. Kornilolf is the man who
rose from the ranks and who is:
considered the best tactician today
in the Russian army. He had l> oil
a civil engineer in civil life before
be was commandeered for the war.

PARIS, Aug. 2.—The Germans
began a renewal of the great battle
of Verdun.
General Petain in reporting the
fighting on the Verdun front, where
it has been confined to the east of
Mouse says that no greater admis
sion could he made as to the wond
erful success of the Flanders offen
sive.
The Germans began today a series
of massed attacks upon the French
position along the old battle
grounds on the Xeuse positionss
These were repulsed. Following, as
well as preceediug the attacks the
Germans began an intensive artill
ery bombarment of the French
lines.
The infantry attacks which first
broke the lull in this section were
not preceded by the usual bombard
ment, the Germans apparently ex
pecting to catch the French troops
off their guard. In this they failed.
This evening says the official com
munique, the raiding operations
and artillery duels are all that aro
left of the gigantic fighting of tlio
earlier portion of the day.
Experts anticipate further fight
ing in Verdun sector or in the Ar
gonne as the Allies press forward it*
Belgium.
The situation in Flanders is grow
ing so serious that only a counter
offensive in somo other section will
succeed in stopping the Entente
troops.

wrecked. Mechanicians say that
engine trouble wits the cause of the
disaster.
