'WITCH EFFORT opa tdoessrdsn
LONDON, Aug. 21.—Last night
under a glitter of star shells, the
Germans launched a terrific attack
against the Allied lines between
Epehy and Le Catelet in an effort
to relieve the severe pressure which
the Allies are exerting also on the
St. Quentin positions. The fighting
along the Lc Catelet canal defenses
was particularly heavy, but the at
tacks were in the end all repulsed.
So sanguinary have been the Ger
man losses in their desperate count
ers that the reason for the night
attacks appears clear.
PARIS, Aug. 21.—Last night will
be memorable for one of the most
violent night battles fought in the
war.
The German troops southeast or
Epehy began a terrific assault all
along the Allied lines and subjected
the French trenches to a bitter fire.
The French and Biitish lines were
able o hold notwithstanding the
great weight of the German attack.
The Germans made a strong stand
near the St. Quentin canal, but when
their retreat was cut off by an im
penetrable barage fire they surrend
ered by the wholesale.
There is reason to expect that thi3
will be the last weighty German
counter in this sector owing to the j
terrific thrust which the Allies ere i
making in other parts of the west
front. •

Feeling is growing r.mong the
French Canadians against the Mi

The chief opposition Is from the
Liberal party members, which in
cludes the able leadership of Lau

To the French Canadians has now
been added the opposition of the

The bucket line on the Flat creek
dredge was turned over for the
first time yesterday. The mammoth
undertaking of assembling as well
as constructing the dredge was fin
ished in record time. The machine
worked up to expectations, the ma
chinery not being new, but it will
be digging away today in the allu

drafting of men will still further
deplete an already depleted labor
market. One of the biggest railroad
men in Canada is reoprted to have
stated that for this reason the
measure was unwise.
The main reason for the law is;
because of the failure of the popu
lation of Quebec to enlist or volun
•teer, relatively few having enlisted
in proportion to other sections of
the population.

To The Trade
AS CUSTOMARY AT THIS TIME OP THE YEAH TO OFFER TO
CONTRACT GOODS FOR WINTER OUTFITS.
After careful Investigation we find that it is impossible to
get a guaranteed price on any commodity carried by us, and we
cannot in justice to our trade and ourselves attempt to offer a
price, therefore, we have concluded to accept all orders for
*• winter outfits upon the following conditions:—
1st. All orders to be invoiced upon arrival of goods at
Nome at warehouse cost prices plus a small percentage for buying
and handling.
2nd. A reasonable cash deposit to be made with each order. Bol
ance to be paid before the last boat leaves for the outside.
3rd. Deliveries to be made as soon as practical: but if winter |
storage is reguired, a small monthly rental will be charged.
4tli. Should you wish to wait until our winter stock arrives, |
wo will be in the best of positions to make you a correspondingly s
low price which will include all charges upon the same conditions '{
as in the past.
Buying goods at the above terms will insure you the
LOWEST POSSIBLE COST for your winters outfit. Our experience
and knowledge of the business and purchasing power will more
than equal our little charge for handling your goods. You have
NO TROUBLE, NO RISK, NO NEW EXPERIMENT! !
OUR REPUTATION FOR FAIR DEALING LIVED UP TO IN
THIS COMMUNITY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF NOME
SHOULD BE A SAFE GUIDE TO \rOU OF WHERE TO PLAICE
