London, June 17—For the first
time in several weeks, heavy fight
j g has occurred along any great
f retch of the Western battle line.
After a bombardment of several days
the British Belgians and French at
tacked the Germans from the coast
down to Lile. The British are said
to have made some gains in the re
j. ion of Ypres, but at other points
the situation is practically as It was
before the engagement. The ground
thus gained by the British has been
fortified, and guns are being moved
forward to assist in its defense in the
return attack which the Germans
will probably make.

Six members of tho Council, Mes-1
srs. Beegle, Patching. Walker, Paup,
King anil Bvus, were present at the
meeting of that body last night, and
spent a busy couple of hours thresh
ing over matters pertaining to the
Town's welfare.
Tho chief thing disposed of was
the passage of a resolution pro
testing against the issuance of liquor
licenses to Dave Broderious at the
Seattle Bar, and Jess Platter of the
Horseshoe Bar. The reasons given
by tlie members of the Council for
their action was that they did not
believe, either of the two men con
ducted their saloons in a proper man
ner and such being the case, they
thought it their duty to protest to
Judge Jennings against the Issuance
of licenses to these two men.

The question of sewers and sewer
pipes was taken up and thoroughly
discussed. While below Counclman
Uyus looked into the comparative ad
vantages of concrete sewer pipe over
the ordinary vitrified kind and was
very favorably impressed with the
former. Ho believes it can be used
for underpining on the streets where
the length is not too great. It is
altogether probable that a trial order
of the concrete pipe will be sent In.
The idea of passing an ordinance
to close the saloons at midnight every
night was talked over, and the prob
adilities are some such ordinance will
be taken up for consideration at an
early date.
