My case seemed beyond my doc tor's reach and in July, 1910, he said he could do no more for me. I would even find myself praying to die, I had suf fered so much.

LONDON. July 2.—British and French troops, thrown forward in a great offensive against the German lines I on both sides of the river Somme, six ty miles north of Paris, have penetrated at one point to a depth of five miles; taken several villages and captured a labyrinth of trenches, extending to a depth of I.JOO yards on a front of seven miles. The drive, the most spectacular in this region since the British captured Loos last September, began Saturday morning, after the German trenches had been subjected to a hail of shells from guns of every calibre for days. Progress has been reported along the entire front of about twenty-five miles. The greatest success gained by ths British was on the right. In the cen ter they captured what are designated in the official report as ’ many strong points,” along a- front of four miles. But north of the Ancre valley to Gom mecourt. powerful counter attacks by the Germans have resulted in forcing the British back from various sections of the ground gained in their first on slaughts. The town of Albert was the starting point on one of the fiercest thrusts, the British advancing from east of the town to Montauban, more than five miles away. Besides Montauban and Serre, the villages of Hebuterne, La Bolselle and Momets have been captured. Tw> thousand German prisoners have pass ed through the British collecting sta tions. CAPTURE MANY PRISONERS. In co-operation witn the British, the French initiated a strong offensive. South of the Somme they captured four villages, and north of that river they established themselves in the neighbor hood of Hardecourt and Curlu. The number of German prisoners taken by the French had reached 3.500 up to . the time of the sending of the last official report. The recapture of the famous Thiau mont work on the Verdun front by the French also has been effected. This important strategic point has changed .hands several times and around it probably thousands of men have fal len. On the left bank of the Meuse, the fighting is most intense around Hill 304, Le Mort Homme and Avocourt. In the Trentino, the Italians continue to advance along the entire Posina line and in the Arsa valley. Artillery bom bardments mark the action on the test of the Austro-Italian front. While the Russians report progress south of the Dniester river, in Galicia, the Austro-Germans claim the capture of Russian works west and northwest of Lutsk, especially in the vicinity of Sokul. Volhynia. Maintaining their drive against the Austrians in Galicia in the region of Kolomea. the Russians have captured many villages. Northwest of Kimpo- Ivng. Bukowina. the Russians already are in The mountains and they report the seixure of several strong positions. Attacks of German troops in the region of the Lipa river were repulsed with heavy losses. Petrograd asserts. The German troops under General von Llnsingen have u~en —sslan po sitions west of Kolki and southwest of Sokul. Fighting is in progress south west of Lutsk. General von Linsin gen’s forces since June 16 have captur ed 26 officers and 3,165 men. Petrograd reports the number of prisoners taken from June 4 to June 30. inclusive, as 217,000 officers and men.

NO DECISION OR MEXICAN TROUBLE BEFORE WEDNESDAY Congress Adjourns Over the Holidays, and Only President Wilson Alone Knows What Step Will Be Taken (By Associated Pre**.) COLUMBUS. N. M., July 1. —American cavalrymen patrolling the border, three miles south of here, were fired upon to night from the Mexican side of the lino and returned the fire. None of the Amer icans were injured. The persons who did the shooting escaped in the dark ness. (By Associated Pre**.) WASHINGTON. July »•—j journment of the house tonight over the Fourth of July, it became highlJ improbable that the crisis between the. United States and the de facto sov®in ment of Mexico would come to a final | issue before Wednesday at the eailiebt. 1 Despite growing impatience over Gen eral Carranza’s delay in demands that he state his lnt ® nt ‘°” s toward American troops in Mexico President Wilson made no move today toward laying the situation before con gress. Officials will wait some days at least for a reply to the note sent a week ago tomorrow, provided there are no further attacks upon General Per shing’s men. Before the defacto government had complied with the first demand made in that note by releasing the prisoners taken at Carrlzal. it was expected the president would act within a time limit fixed in his own mind, if there was no reply or an unfavorable one. The ef fect of the release order apparently has been to lengthen this limit, though how much only the president knows. There were no official dispatches to day dealing with the probable tenor of the note the de facto government offi cials are framing. Private messages had nothing to add to the gloomy out look they reflected yesterday. In fact, there were no developments of any sort during the day in the diplomatic situ ation, although the war department and congress still ground away on measures of preparation against whatever the fu ture may hold. NEWS IS CENSORED Under the war department censorship no information General Funston or the general staff may have of movement of Mexican troops beyond the border was known. Rumors said Mexican forces were massing around the strip or territory occupied by General Per shing's men, leaving open only the well guarded road back to the border. War department officials refused to discuss these reports. It is known, however, that they are fully confident of General Pershing’s ability to protect himself under any circumstances. The rumored movements of Mexican troops, however, appear to be in line with the decision General Carranza is said by private to have adopted. It was predicted that he would reaffirm his intention to allow no operations of the American forces on Mexican soil except toward the border.

SING SING, N. Y., June 30.—Oresta Shillitani was executed in the state pris on this morning for the murder three years ago of two New York policemeh who were attempting to arrest him for killing a third man in a quarrel about a girl. Shillitani made no pretense of insanity during his trial but became apparently crazed with terror in the death house a few weeks ago when two other prisoners were executed. A week ago he obtained possession of a revolver, shot and killed one of the keepers in the death house and wounded another and escaped but was recaptured. COTTON DROPS TWO DOLLARS PER BALE (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, July I.—A break of ful ly $2 a bale followed the publication of the government's crop report in the cot ton market here today. Recent private reports had indicated a crop condition of about 79.6 per cent on the average, but the government’s report made It 81.1 compared with 77.5 last month and a ten-year average of 80.2 per cent, while the official acregae estimate of 35,994,000 acres or 12.1 per cent over last year, also appeared to be larger than had been generally expected. Prior to the publication of these fig ures the market was quiet and steady on scattered covering with October con tracts selling up to 13 28 or about three points above last night’s closing figures. The report, however, was immediately followed by heavy liquidation and sell ing was very active and general on the decline, which carried October contracts off to 12.85 or thirteen points under the I igh level of the morning and thirty five points under Friday's closing quo tation. Rallies of six or seven points followed on covering, but the final tone was barely steady with prices showing a net decline of twenty-six to twenty nine points for the day.

Secretary Lansing today asked con gress for $300,000 to be used in getting Americans out of Mexico. He said avail able funds had been exhausted and it was highly desirable that every citizen of the United States should be brought out.t Appropriations of $1,643,500 for equip ment of national guard units with ma chine guns, $4,616,397 for land defense armament, armoring locomotives and for protective measures in the Panama canal zone also were asked in esti amtes submitted by the war depart* ment. “Orders Was Orders” To This Sentry, So He Tramped Forty Miles DOUGLAS, Ariz., July I.—Adam Dock ery, a private in Company B, Arizona organized militia, reported yesterday a-s missing, returned to camp today after walking nearly forty miles while on outpost duty. The private, a recent recruit, it was said at militia headquar ters, was placed on guard at the interna tional line with instructions to walk to east until he met the sentry he was to relieve. In some manner, Dockery missed the sentry. He kept walking until finally last night he met a patrol on guard eighteen miles east of the camp. “Dockery certainly obeyed instruc tions,” an officer remarked, “but it is a good thing he met that patrol or he probably would have walked to El Paso.” Liquor in Warehouse At Girard Still Safe (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBUS, Ga., July I.—Notwith standing repeated rumors to the effect that whisky was being removed from the big warehouse in Girard, where it has been stored in vast quantities by the state as the result of the recent raids, those in authority say the property is being closelv guarded and that every thing is all right.

Bulletin No. 5 < The Bethlehem Steel Company's Offer to Serve the United States At a time when the expenses of the Government are so enormous — Isn’t it worth while finding out the actual facts before plunging ahead into an expenditure of $11,000,000 of the people’s money for a Government armor plant ? To clear up the whole situation, and to put it on a basis as fair and business-like as we know how to express it, we now make this offer to the Government: The Bethlehem Steel Company will manufacture armor plate for the Government of the United States at actual cost of operation plus such charges for overhead expenses, interest and deprecia tion as the Federal Trade Commission may fix. We will agree to this for such period as the Government may designate. The House of Representatives voted down a proposal to empower the Federal Trade Commission to determine a fair price for armor, and allow private manu facturers opportunity to meet that price before the Government built its plant. Isn’t our proposition fair and ought it not to be accepted? The measure is now before the United States Senate. CHAS. M. SCHWAB, Chairman Bpthlehfim Steel CoiTlDanV EUGENE G.
