British Penetrate Four
Miles German Defenses
XiONDON,, July 14.—Yesterday
counter attack assuming momentui
throughout the day and part of th
night, took on a general offensiv
today with good results.
The British troops penetrated fou
miles of the German second line c
defenses which they are holdin
notwithstanding every effort of th
enemy to dislodge them. The ad
vance sections of the British troop
were subjected to a heavy Germa
counter attack in an effort to rt
s gain the lost lines, but they fought
a with such dogged pertinacity that
e they held on until the main body
e came up and they are now in per
manent occupation,
r The British line north of the
f Somme has forged ahead, and a
; line drawn just east of Longvue,
i Vistin and Le Grand which they
- captured shows the great advance,
s The battle of Trones woods ended
i! in the Germans retiring when their
-1 wings were rolled up from about
this salient. The British are mount
ing artillery in advance positions
with the intention of again bomb
arding the German front.
PARIS, July 14.—The efforts of
the Germans to drive forward on
the Aisne front w^re repulsed with
heavy loss.
PARIS, July 14.—There is a lull
on the Verdun front today for the
first time in many weeks.
SEIN FINERS WRECK
RECRUITING OFFICE CORK
I
CORK, Ireland, July 14.—Tnis
city today was the scene of very ex
citing and riotous scenes when fo\
a while two thousand unarmct:
Sein Feiners had practically pos
session of the city.
The men had assembled wit!
bands and flags to greet the returr
of the recently released prisoners
who were arrested in connectior
with the Dublin rising. The autiio
rities held baca the train ho were,
fearing that the demonstratioi
might become a serious affair be
yond the power of the force at their
disposal to cope with.
The Sein Feiners waited at the
railway station until the train ar
rived but without the recently re
leased prisoners. This greatly an
gered the Sein Feiners who pro
ceeded to make a demonstration
against the British and they at
tacked o recruiting station which
they totally wrecl ed. By this time
the authorities had obtained sutti
cient police and soldiers to secure
order and they charged the rioting
Sein Feiners who dispersed after
many had been arrested. They are
charged with seditious lioting.
The origin of the rioting is said
to have been traced to persons who
started the rumor that the prisoners
were not released at all, but had
been conscripted.
The latter return of the released
prisoners has quieted the situation.

a clever way, wins a blue blood and
an American, while the Duke con
soles himself for her loss with
Mama and her millions. Mary
Fuller is at her most charming
best throughout this splendid feature
film. Matt Moore is a handsome
hero and Etienne Glrardot plays
the foreign nobleman to the manor

LONDON, July 14.—British pa
pers are scoffing at the reported re
sumption of the U boat campaign.
They declare that the U boats quit
because their work cannot be car
ried on during the summer owing
to the British patrol boats being
too wary and netting too much U
boats. They say that in the Au
tumn the submarine campaign will
again be resumed.
Now its suspension is merely a
subterfuge.

Kovel Struggle Rages
For One Hundred Miles
r • •. r ’4 *• f
I'ETROGRAD, July 14.—The bat
tle of the Stockhod is growing in
weight, violence and intensity for
one hundred miles along the Stock
hod river where the Germans under
von Linsingen are making a deter
mined stand.
It is announced that prisoners
from recently arrived German re
giments taken today, admit that
they have just arrived from the
west: the Tenth Prussian Corns
from Rheims and the Fifth Bavar
ian Corps from Arras.
PETROGRAD, July 1 4.—All eyes
are turned upon the struggle for
the control of Kovel with the terri
fic effort of the Germans to force
hack the Russians, frotn the Stock
hod. The Grand Headquarters
Staff announced that the Russians
had made gains and driven the Ger
mans who had forced their way
again east of the river back across
the stream with terrific losses. Ii
is believed that the Germans are
making a desperate stand on the
Stockhod with a view of forcing tlie
Russians to divert their troops
(here from the north or from Ga! -
eia where they would then <>•■>

not all of the Teuton troops divert

INJUNCTION IS GRANTED
AGAINST LONGSHOREMEN
TACOMA, July 14.—A sweeping,
if temporary injunction was grant- J
ed against union longshoremen to
day by the courts, the men being j
enjoining against picketting, or try
ing to secure the desertion of
scabs.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Co.
whose docks practically monopolize
the Tacoma water front was the pe
titioner for the injunction. This
is the first attempt to invoke the aid
of the courts against the strikers.
Here the situation is not very satis
factory for the unionists, as the
companies are recruiting strike
breakers.
SEATTLE, July 14.—The long
shoremen’s strike is in danger of go
ing by default and the protracted
mediation proceedings are likely to
break down the resistance of the
men.
It is declared now that unless
the longshoremen secure the oilier
unions active in the transportation
industry, the strike may be lost.
| Union sailors are stowing cargo
on board the ships.
The injunction against the Ta
coma unionists is making the men
here more restive.
SAX FRANCISCO, July H.—
The longshore strike takes on no
new features today. The negotia
tions appear to be marking time
It is evident that the companies
want to gain time.

SUCCESSOR VERY SOON
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 14.
Wilson is expected to name a suc
cessor to Charles E. Hughes on the
Supreme Bench in a rew days.
None of those whose names were
mentioned earlier in the season
from Gregory to Walsh are now
considered probable appointees.
United States District Judge,
John H. Clarke, who was appointed
to the North Division of Ohio In
1914 is now prominently mentioneo
as the probable successor to
Hughes. Clarke is considered a
conservative democrat.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 14.—
It is unofficially held that Clarke
is surely slated to be nominated for
the Supreme Bench and that Wil
son has already sounded him upon
his acceptance. This is generally
accepted as correct. Little is known
of Clarke outside his position as

MILITIAMEN BUNT DO
A THING TO CLEVELAND
CLEVELAND. July 14.—This city
had its pleasant dose of militarist
preparedness when the New York
militiamen passed through the city
to the border. .
Seven hundred of these heroes
left the train when passing through
this city and proceeded to help
themselves. Nothing was safe from
tlfem. Stores were robbed of eat
ables, saloons of drinkables while
jewelery, merchandise and provi
sions were commandeered by the
young looters when It came to the
clearing up of the commission
houses and the police hadV hard
time when they answered the riot
call, getting these strike-killers back
to the trains to fight against the
Mexicans. Hundreds were arrested
but were released.
