' taken place, has been captured by
the Germans for the fourth time, ac
cording to the official statement is
sued, by the 'f rench war office to
night. ,
The French have advanced south
and east of Assevillers where they

lages of Bardeuv and Belloy-En-Santcrre.
They also have taken the
greater part of the villageof Estrees

Paris. July 4. :The night was quiet
north and south ot trie somme, witn
the French organizing the conquered
positions, says the French official
statement issued today. y ,
The Germans made no attempt to
interfere with French troops which
were consolidating the new positions.
In addition to the batteries already
, t captured three more have been taken,
I two ot which were composed ot neavy
guns. French artillery is proving
most destructive. In one dugout
which was wrecked by a shell forty
fcrfpsts were found.
f The Germans are said to have suf-
. , fered enormous losses in the lighting
near Herbecourt, which the French
captured.
At one -.point between the Avre and
the Aisne a French reconnoisance
penetrated as far ai the support
trenches. .
Heavy fighting continued last night
on the Verdun front. The Germans
made six successive attacks north'
west of Thiaumont, from which they
were driven by the French recently a
few hours after they had carried it.
Last night's attacks were repulsed, the
- Germans : sustaining considerable
. losses. . Southeast of fumin wood the
Hi-rerieh made some slight progvest.

SIGNAL CORPS IS BEADT
(From a Stiff Correspondent.)
; Lincoln, July 4. -(Special) Some
morning the people of Lincoln will
wake up to find the mobilization
camp deserted and the soldier boys
gone.. ' '
The secrecy which prevails around
headquarters indicates that little will
be known of the movement of the
troops unless special activities arouse
a suspicion andeople stay awake
to watch.
The war department is using all
means possible to move the troops
with as much secrecy as possible in
order that they may be moved safely.
The Nebraska enH of the movement
of troops is endeavoring to carry
this out in hope that they will escape
the fate of. the troops i few days ago
where a train was wrecked carrying
the guard ot one state to the south.
Exercises at Auditorium.
Today the camp was very quiet,
Visitors saw nothing out of the
ordinary and outside of a big chicken
dinner provided for every company
and patriotic exercises at the audi
torium, there was little to arouse the
curiosity of the visitor. It is said
that 1,600 chicken were shipped in
from Crete for the dinners of the
soldiers, today. - '
I oday is the last day that the camp
will be opened to visitors, except be
tween the hours of 5 and 10:30
o'clock in the evening. No one will
be allowed within the grounds at any
other time unless they have business
or for the purpose of visiting some
member of their own family who is
a soldier. No grub of a promiscuous
or deadly mixture will be allowed to
be brought to the camp by visitors
without first being passed by the
board of censorship." ReaJ food such
as mother used to make will be al
lowed 4o pass through, but bakery
shop concoctions and the like will
find, hard luck. The authorities at
the camp do not propose to take any
chances oit -having the stomachs of
the boys- put on the bum by food of
a strange mixture. . - ; .
' It is understood that the war de
partment has received final notice
that, the signal corps is ready and
fully prepared for the trip1 to the
south, 1 So it is probable that they
may. be moved rithi na tew Hours.
' - Segret Chaplin Leidy's Case.
. ,Gwereoopsr et sh cm vb cmfwyp
une ot the regretame circumstances
in connection with the examination of
men for the service and their rejec
tion, comes with the failure of Chap
lain J. M. Leidy of Omaha, chaplain
of the Fourth regiment, to pass the
examination. Like many others who
have failed to come up to the require
ments, his failure is for a minor com
plaint and probably easily remedied.
Chaplain t-eidy teeis keenly the dis
appointment, but not more so than
the officers and men of the regiment
at headquarters. ' He has endeared
himself to them 'all, and if his appli
cation to the department is allowed,
they will all hail with delight his good
fortune. Chaplain Leidy has applied
to the War department for permission
to go, stating in his application that
he waives all rights to at pension for
disability, provided the disability is
caused by lis present complains- Be
ing a nonconibatant, it is possible that
his application may be allowed. The
chaplain left last night for his home
in Omaha. ;
The eauioment for the state troons
is understood to be all here now, or
least sufficient to equip every com
pany up to the first requirements.
Machinists working in the navelock
railway shops have passed resolutions
condemning the movement of an
armed force to Mexico. . On the other
hand the city council of Lincoln has
assured all employes who desire to go
to war that their places will be open
for them when they return.
