Great British Rush
LANSING ISSUES HIS LAST CALL
GERMANS STRIVE DESPERATELY TAKE VERDUN
Heavy British Offensive
Makes Gains On West
LONDON, July 2.—Following a
aeven day artillery preparation
along a seventy mile front, the
British infantry offensive began on
Saturday.
It is estimated that during the ar
tillery bombardment the British
used up a million shells a day and
almost entirely destroyed the Ger
man trenches. On Saturday morn
ing the artillery fire began as heavy
as ever when suddenly at eight
o’clock it ceased and the grand rush
along a twenty mile front only be
gan. This is directly north of the
river Somme. The French began
their attack for five miles south of
Somme.
The offensive of the Allies gained
from three quarters to seven miles
along the entire front of twenty
five miles.
The British forces gained Serre.
Laboiselle, Montashan, Nametz, and
enveloped Fraucourt and Comme
court. The French captured Do
maniere, Bocquincourt, Eussu, and
Fay enveloping Hardecourt and
Curlu. The British captured five
I thousand five hundred prisoners in
cluding two regimental command
ers.
Terrific fighting continues north
of Ancre valley where the German
counter offensive regained consider
able lost ground.
The British public is intensely
jubilant over the success.
HAVRE, July 2.—The Belgian
artillery is very active around Dix
munde.
BRITISH SUCCESS IS
ADMITTED BY GERMANS
BERLIN, July 2.—The British
■successes are admitted in the west
with no attempt made to minimize
the seriousness of the offensive.
Critics in the papers admit that
the offensive will probably force
back the German lines to some ex
tent as offensives always make
gains, but they will be unable to
bold their gains or continue their
offensive very long.
The feeling persists in miliatary
circles that the British will strike
hardest north of Arras notwithstand
ing that so far they have made no
move in that direction. German
Flyers bring hourly reports of the
tremendous concentration' around
Arras, behind the city and the Da
bassee canal front.
The British have been carrying
on a terrific bombardment along
this section in which they are joined
to the northern Flanders front by
the Belgian troops especially in the
vicinity of Dixmunde.

BREAK SURE SAYS
NEW YORK PAPERS
I
NEW YORK, July 2.—Comment
in the Sunday papers is almost un
animous In expressing the opinion
that a break with Mexico is sure.
No one knows what the real tancr
of the Carranza note is and not
withstanding there is a determined
effort to regard it with alarm. The
interventionists are certainly work
ing over time and the latest is that
.Villa is at Parral where the Am
erican troopers were so closely iden
tified with some fighting some
months ago.
The attitude of the administration
clearly indicates that they have de
termined upon war.

that old watch. Buy a new one at
