WERE TIM KMT
That Is'Exactly the Way J. F.
Holley Says His Rheumatism
Acted—Another Man Says
He Couldn’t Raise Left Hand
to His Head.
"This 1* the first medicine I have ever
taken that really does just whai they
say it will do." said J. F. Holley, a well
known Lexington. Ky.. man.
“I haven’t felt like a well man for
ten weeks past and my whole system
seemed to be run-down and debilitated.
I could not sleep at night and I would
feel just as tired in the morning as I
did upon going to bed at night. My
digestion became affected and I couldn’t
eat. Attacks of headache were frequent
and my nervous system seemed to be all
disordered.
"My worse trouble, however, was
rheumatism. The doctors said I suffered
from what is known as muscular rheu
matism. My muscles seemed as if they
were tied up in a knot.
•1 couldn’t use my right arm and I
was just about helpless. Somebody per
suaded me to try Tanlac and 1 got a
bottle of that medicine. Tanlac is cer
tainly making a new man out of me. I
can now sleep and eat like I haven t
been able to do In years. My rheuma
tism Is all gone and I feel strong and
built up In every way. lam a well man
and 1 certainly thank the friend wljo
suggested my using this remarkable
medicine. ”
J. B. Woodward, another Lexington
man. who lives at 256 Rand avenue, that
city, said:
"I suffered from stomach trouble,
rheumatism and neuralgia for years. Be
fore I took this medicine I actually could
not raise mv left hand to my head. It
had been that way for fully two years
"I have used Tanlac for about two or
three weeks now and I am like a new
man. My family and my friends see the
difference and it is the actual truth. I
take great pleasure in recommending
this medicine. Tanlac.”
Tanlac is sold by regularly established
agencies in all principal towns of the

TRENCHES TD DEPTH
DFI.HOOYARDSARE
TAKEN IN BIG DRIVE
British and French Launch
Spectacular Offensive on
Twenty-five Mile Front With
Great Success
(By A**oei*ted Pre**.)
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.
Russian Continue Drive,
Have Taken Total of 217,000
PETROGRAD. July I.—(Via London.)
Russian troops continue to arive back
the Austro-Hungarian army in the re
gion south of the Dniester river, in
Galicia, says the Russian official state
ment issued today. Many places south
of Kolomea have been occupied by the
forces of Emperior Nicholas. It is an
nounced that on June 28 and 29 General
Letchitzky took prisoner 305 officers
and 14.574 men. making a total of 217.-
000 Austro-Hungarians captured since

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.

Man Who Killed Four is
Executed at Sing Sing
(By Associated Press.')
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.

“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.”

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.
