NAVAL ACTIVITY REPORTED

LONDON, June 7.-Since the cap
ture OF Przemysl the Germans ap-
parently have brought heavy rein
forcements into the west and there
are distinct signs of resumption of
the German offensive in northern
France. Nevertheless the French re-
port slow and uninterrupted ad-

A French official announcement
says French troops, after a very eff
fectlve bombardment east of Tracy
Le-Mont, and north of the river
Alsne, carried two successive lines of
trenches on fronto f one kilometre,
together with several German works
In the east the Austro-German ad-
vance is continuing. This move is
regarded in London as political, the
idea of the Germans and Austrians
being to exert an influence upon
Roumania.
Petrograd announces a Russian
success along the River Pruth. near
koiomea, where the Austro-Gel mans
are said to have been pushed back
across the river. Petrograd says also
that the Russian lines of defense
must be rejected on account of the
use Of poisonous gases by the Ger
mans. The reason for this is that the
4 works, technically correct under the
sordlnary conditions of warfare, be-
come death traps when exposed to
this new engine of hostilities
The fighting along the central sec
ton OF the River Isonzo, has developed
a series of fierce engagements with
the Italians finding increasingly
stronger opposition, the Austrians be-
ing formidably entrenched.
This morning the British public
was informed that their forces had
won brilliant success at point far
from the main lines of battle on the
continent. Sir Percy Cox, at the
head OF a strong naval and military
force has gained foothold at Amara-
on the Trigress river, half way from
the head of the Persian gulf to the
city of Bagdad. During the past few
days the Anglo-Indian army operaf.
ing in that field has captured manv
prisoners as well as guns and am
munition, and have taken gunboat,
steamers and steam barges.
1t is said the Turkish army on
posed to it is so demoralized that it
is doubtful if it will be able to offer
serious resistance to further British
advance in Mesopotamia.
The only naval activity of the
weekend was the engagement at the
entrance of the gulf of Riga, in the
Baltic which, according to Petrograd
resulted in the sinking of several
German transports and a large un-
named vessel with the Russians sink
ing one auxiuiary ship. Details are
meagre, but it is inferred here that a
majority of the German vessels con.
centratsd at Kiel came out into the
Baltic. 1t is quite clear, however

is said to have remarked that he was
going to ask Dalton what all the
trouble was about since he had beer
warned to keep away from Dalton's
place. He climbed out of the cart in
which they were riding and got ul
onto the wagon. He carried a small
cedar stick in his hand.
Just what words passed on the wag.
on it is impossible to ascertain, but
Carsen shortly climbed down, and
started to run up the pike toward the
cart in which Nicholson was seated.

they were overtaken by w. G. Mat

man climbed out, and was lifted into

he was about to bleed to death. When
