CLAIM
LA BASSEE GAIN
Say Allies Were Defeated in
Attack Made North of
the Canal.
ADMIT SOUCHEZ LOSS

BERLIN, via London. June ls.-Ac-
here to-day an allied force attacking
German positions north Of La Bssse,
northeastern France. was destroyed,
only a few escaping death or capture.
The text of the statement which was
given out at the German army head
quarters follows:
In the Western Theatre.
Our enemies continue their attempts
to break through our lines to the north
of La Bassee Canal and have suf-
fered a new defeat. Their attaching
troops were destroyed only a few
men succeeded in retreating.
East OF Angres, south of Souchez,
and north OF Ecurie the French pen
etrated our outer positions al inter-
walls. Due north Of the Lorette hills
we surrendered a section of n trench
situated within range OF the enemy's
fire in accordance with our plans,
The rest of the enemy's attempts to
attack were frustrated.
Since June 10 We have captured on
the battlefield 10 the north OF Arrss
seventeen officers and 6i7 men. The
sanguinary losses OF our opponents
were equal TO those OF the battles in
the Champagne district.
In the Argonne we repulsed weak
enemy advances at Nauquois. Local
fights developed in the Nosges. En-
gagements around Metzeral still are
going on.
In the Eastern Theatre.
An advancing Russian division was
driven back by German cavalry across
the SyZmeZa branch. At n point to
the east Of the high road between
Cycowyany and Shavli an attack by
the enemy in strong force against the
Dawina line was repulsed.
In the southeastern Thatrc.
OF both sides of Tarnograd Austro-
German troops yesterday drove the
enemy back toward a branch of the
Tanew River. Later. during the
night, these defeated Russians were
driven still further back by the army
under Gen. Won M~ackensen. They re-
treated as far as the prepared posi-
tons at Grodek. which are on the line
running from the Narol and We're
szyca Brooks to their junction with
the River Dniester.
on the Dniester front northeast OF

A FreaKish Legislature.

Are the fools all deadY No, some OF
them are sitting in the legislature over
in Denver. This week the house man
aged to reach the height of absurdity by
passing bill requiring that every nd-
vertisement newspaper carries shall
have the word advertisement" printed
above it, and the name of the man who
is charged for it. This goes as to want
ads" AS well as display. We are advised
that only one member voted against it
aud he, Representative Daley OF Aspen,
is a newspaper publisher. The idea OF
requiring these additional lines to the
exclusion OF news takes the prize for
originality. We have all along been
urging that the state insane asylum
needs enlargement. 1t would be econo
my for us to send fool legislators there
before they convene Boulder Camera.
