"Western theater: Between the
Ancre brook and the Somme the en
emy fire increased to the greatest
intensity.
"English local attacks near Po
zieres and Longueval were unsuccessful.
"South of the Somme and to the
east of the Meuse there were lively
artillery battles. -
"Near La Chalade. in the western
Argonne, Lieutenant Baldamus put

singen: The enemy attacks increased
in extent and intensity. With the ex
ception of certain regions on the S to
by chwa front on the Kiver
Stokhod, northeast of Kovel
they have been extended as far as
to the west at Beresteck. They broke
down with tremendous losses, mostly
under our curtain of fire. Only at
certain points of the entire front did
it come to hand to hand fighting.
Everywhere the enemy had pene
trated he was eiected bv our counter
attacks or his advance was restricted.
In the course of the night the with

ily. We captured 250 prisoners.

Before His People
Seeking an Election
Laredo, Texas, July 31. Venus
tiana Carranza is to retire as first
chief of the de facto government of
Mexico at an early date and will be
succeeded by General Pablo Gonzales,
according to information given out by
Mexican administrative circles in
Nuevo Laredo tonight.
General Carranza will enter the
field as a presidential candidate at the
forthcoming elections, it was said this
afternoon, apparently confirming the
recent unofficial advices from Mexico
City, which intimated that the first
chief would seek elevation to the pres
idency at the hands of the voters
The conference of Mexican gener
als with Carranza, soon to be held
in Mexico City, according to these
advices, will arrange for the call for
general elections and for the retire
ment of the first chief. This confer
ence was said to have been sum
moned to prevnt possible friction in
military circles over the proposed
transfer of power.
While no date has been set for the
conference, several high officers of
the de facto government forces have
left the border within the last few
days with the announced intention of
proceeding to Mexico City to confer
with General Carranza, and it is be
lieved in Neuvo Laredo that the ac
cession of Gonzales to the administra
tive power will not be delayed long.

EI Paso, Texas, July 31. Hundreds
of Americans crossed the Rio Grande

and broncho busting contest held in
Juarez since the Villa regime. Both
General Francisco Gonzales, com
mandant, and Andres Garcia, local
Mexican consul, expressed gratifica
tion over the number attending, the
largest to venture into the Mexican
town since the beginning of the re
cent crisis, and pointed out that it
was an indication of an increasing
friendliness between the people of the
two towns.
The bull ring, resplendent in colors,
was thronged with Mexican soldiers,
their rifles lying across their knees
and their cartridges swung loosely
about their bodies, interposed be
tween them about the arena, sat
American men and women and
hundreds of gaily dressed Mexicans.
Amsteur matadoros participated in
the fight and volunteer vaqueros in
the contest, the affair being for the
benefit of the flood sufferers in the
Quarrero district.

German Journals'
British Criticism of
Executing Officer
Berlin (Via Sayville), July 31.
'The German newspapers," says the
Overseas News Agency, "discuss the
British comments on the death sen
tence passed by the German field
court-martial on Captain Fryatt. They
recall the killing of the crew of a
German aubmarine by the British pa
trol boat Baralong, where, also, Brit
ish judgment was at defiance with that
of Germany.
"The newspapers point out that dur
ing the war four German women un
der suspicion of spying were execu
ted in France and that, notwithstand
ing this, one similsr German case was
the object of world-wide agitation."
Amsterdam (Via London), July 30.
The Telegraaf says it learns from
the German frontier that the sentence
of death on Captain Fryatt was pro
nounced on Thursday morning and
that in the evening of the same day
he was executed on an isolated plot
of ground. One, a German from Brus
sels, witnessed the execution.
Strike Ties Up
Street Car Service
In New York City
New York, July 31. Not a wheel
moved after 4 o'clock this afternoon
on the lines in Manhattan of the
Third Avenue railway, 98 per cent of
whose motormen and conductors were
said by union organizers to have
ioined the strike that originated in
Yonkers, spread uuidly to the Bronx
and now is designed to paralyze all
surface ear trafiic in New York. Only
a few cars were operaled in Broad
way above Forty-second street and
traffic was intermittent on several
cross-town lines.
W. D. Mahon, president of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Klectric Railway Employes, with
a dozen organizers, held frequent
meetings during the day with the
strikers.
"Missionaries" boarded cars in all
parts of Manhattan in an effort to
induce the crews to strike. They re
ported considerable success.
Obstructions were placed on the
tracks of the Third Avenue system
at several points to interfere with the
operation of cars by strike breakers
and a few cars were stoned, but the
disorder resulting from the strike was
not of a serious nature.
Clothes Stolen, Bathers
Walk Home Barefooted
R. H. Secord, chief clerk for the
Missouri Pacific rairoad in Omaha,
together with W. F. Reynolds, sought
the cooling waters of the municipal
beach at Carter lake Sunday. Now
they are seeking their clothes, which
were stolen while they were having a
merry time slashing about in the fresh
water "surf."
But the saddest part of the story
is that both of the unlucky bathers
had to wait until darkness came on
before they could return to the city.
They came trekking into town about
midnight, barefooted and wearing
hardly any more than the law allows.
Mr. Secord remarked, with grim
humor, that he would have given hit
kingdom, had he had one, for a friend
ly barrel.
