London.-Along almost two-thirds OF
the great battle line across north
eastern France the armies of the al
lies and Germany continued to fight
hercely, at some points with the bayo
nets, and latest statements from both
sides are worded with the optimism
that has characterized all these off
cial pronouncements! 1t was agreed
that the allies had continued their ad
vance.
The French claimed marked prog
ress." The German announcement
from Berlin, though insisting that the
advance had been repulsed, neverthe
less referred to 1t as an advance.
Elsewhere along the battle front
neither side seems to have achieved
any notable success.
The continued forward movement
OF Russian troops in Galicia; the
appearance of German aircraft drop
ping bombs over various places ir
Belgium and again in Paris and War
saw, and the movement Of vast bodies
OF German troops into Russia by way
of East Prussia, were chiefly signifi
cant in summary of the events in
both theaters of war.
OF the German bombs thrown none
seems to have done extensive damage
One man is reported to have beer
killed in Belgium and one in Paris
The explosives in Paris fell near the
quarter occupied by many Americans
There is an unconfirmed rumol
that an attack on Antwerp is impend
ing.
Neither army has achieved any
thing notable since the allies have re
ported progress In one direction The
allies at one point claim to have
thrown back a desperate advance by
the crack Prussian Guard, and the
Germans insist that, with a weaker
force, their right has checked the ad
vance of a mixed French and British
force brought up by rail-
Recurring references to bayonet
charges seem to prove conclusively
that this picturesque and romantic
phase of warfare, which it was
thought had been killed by the advent
Of great guns and other equipment OF
modern armies, is not all thing oil
the past.
The French official communication
says that at some points the trenches
are only 100 meters apart; thus a
small portion Of the millions engaged
have taken the stimulation and thrill
Of hand-to-hand lighting.

A story is told Of an encounter be-
tween Queen Victoria and Gladstone
Gladstone, In an audience with the
queen, one day produced list OF the
people whom he wished to be made
peers. The queen demurred and said:
i cannot create as many as this, Mr..
Gladstone" Whereupon Mr.. Gladstone
who sometimes got into a temper, tore
the list up. The queen flushed slight.
ly, but said nothing to Mr.. Gladstone,
VINO shortly afterward quilted the

Mr.. Gladstone presented a new list,
much shorter than on the previous oc-
casion. The queen, without looking
at 1T, tore it up. 1t was then Mr.. Glad.

Liuhtnlno Killed Him.

A few years ago we had a very rainy
spring. For twelve days it rained. On
the morning of the thirteenth day
(Which was no exception) my friend
and 1 drove over to the country gro-
Gerry store. The sage of the communi-
ty spoke Of the weather and the num-
ber Of days 1t had lasted, and advised
every one to stay indoors. OF course
We all laughed at his fear, especially
my friend. That afternoon my friend
went out on his farm to fix a piece OF
barbed wire fence. While busy at his
work the rain and thunder increased.
A sharp clap Of thunder caused us to
go I'm search Of him. Imagine our hor-
ror on finding his body hanging life

Both sides, according to the French

From scissors to Rheims and
thence to Verdun there has been no
change in the situation, but in the
south of Woevre the French continue
to make progress and have defeated
a German corps with heavy losses.

A party of Forest Service officials from the District and Washington offices is planning 6 field Teconnai ssnce of timber lands within the Apache Forest August l to 10. A detailed field examination has al- ready heen completed by slumberns from the District office. The District and Washington officials will go over he area to determine the feasibility of making @ considerable sale of mature and overmsture timber which would be tributary to local Arizona markets. Under present conditions 6 la'ge pro- portion of the wood prod ucts required by u . southern Arizona mines must be sf ip ed in from Washington and Oregon via San Pedro. Hit appears advisable to make sale of Forest Service stumpase from the Apscbe Forest, it is likely that the local mines could secure their timber supply en- tirely from local timber resources, thus affecting a tremendous saving in freight.
