The sixth- day of the British bombardment of the German linea from Ypres to the Somme was featured by an increasing number of trench raids. These raids are Invariably preceded by shelling the enemy's trench, with here and there a concentrated fire by the new trench mortars, the range and general effectiveness of which have been greatly increased. Yesterday the greatest activity was on the center of the British line, where gas was used with deadly ef fect in the region of La Bassee. Alt the morning newspapers today print lengthy headquarters' accounta of the' fighting, which testify to the extravagance in the use of shells by the British forces. The Daily Mail says: The Germans are answering our great bombardment and are well sup plied with shells; but . they have never before employed artillery on such a scale on so vide a front as we are doing. An extensive, as against an in-extensive, method is now on trial and has clearly much agitated the enemy, causing him many losses and left our artillery free to enter his trenches at night, here, there and everywhere."

Autos Take Place of Cars In Bustling Clarinda Clarinda, la., June 30. (Special.) The statement made by the Ames college professor that Iowa has more autos and flivvers than bathtubs is not startling to Clarindans. This city perhaps has more autos in proportion to population than any other city in the state. On account of this fact Clarinda is without street, cars, and in all probability will remain so for many years, despite the large area covered by the city proper. Clarinda is a city of 5,500 and there is one machine to every eleven per sons. 1 "Everybody knows everybody else. When going anywhere in a hurry it's just a matter of stopping 'Bill or Jim' as "he whizzes by and inviting him to haul one to the distant desti nation," declared Senator Sipe, one of the leading attorneys of Clarinda, who is also keen on statistics, "However," added Mr. Stipe, "Clar inda has more bathtubs than autos, I'm sure."

The Manchester Guardian, one of the most influential papers in the coun try, makes a direct pica for clemency for Sir Roger Casement. While admitting that nn other sen tence but that of death could have been pronounced by the court, the Guardian says: "Casement was a fanatic, and his crimes- like that of many other fana tics, are free from the taint of sordid ness and meanness. The death pen alty will do nothing to kill such dreams as his. Rather it will give them life. "For the sake of the new Ireland which we hope to see, it is a moment for clemency." An indirect plea for mercy is made by other papers on the ground that the execution of Casement would not assist in settling the Irish problem.
