czAR PREPARING FOR
BIG SWEEP

Boston, July 2s-That the czar OF
Russia has 20,000,000 men ready for
the word to sweep down on the Ger
man invaders, that 12,000,00O rifles
are being brought to the Russians
from the United States and Canada,
and that the signal for the sweep will
probably be given during August, is
the information brought from Russia
by Thomas w. Pelham, sales manager
of the Gillette Safety Razor company.
Mr.. Pelham spent May and June IN
Russia. He reports a radical change
in the country, the rulers and the peo-
pie softening toward each other. The
days of Darkest Russia" are no
more, he says.
He confirms the views of the ex-
pert observers in this country, that
the Russian retreat was forced by
lack of ammunition. But she has
S96 100000 worth on the way and al
ready arriving, and Mr.. Pelham looks
for an early sweep toward Germany
From what he gathered in England
he believes the English have 100000
men under arms awaiting the right
moment to attack. France, he under
sood, has 100000 men at the front
or in reserve.

Formidable Revolt
In Northern Mexico
Now Seems. Certain

A new and very formidable revolt
in northern Mexico seems certain today.
Confidential advices received here from
several border points indicated that
professional gun men, chiefly OF the
halfbreed type, former Federal soldiers,
and officers under Diaz and Huerta
have been crossing into Mexico from q
score Of border points. All were armed
and are declared to be proceeding to a
rendezvous on which they have agreed.
The arrest of Huerta and Orozco, IT
is declared. will not interfere with the
carrying out of the program and an
attack on the Vilista strongholds of
JuareZ and Chihuahua may take place
at any time.
Martial law is said to prevail at pres
ent in beth cities. That Villa believes
the newly planned movement may be
a real menace to him is shown by the
reports that he is hurrying north from
Aguas Calientes to mass another army
near Chihuahua, ready for any emer-
gency.
Inasmuch as this newly planned rev.
olution Is more than ordinaSt.y well

Battle North of ArraS
Resumed; French Gain
From Angres to Ablain

PARIS, June 29-The battle north OF
Arras has been resumed after several
days of inaction. Preceded by a heavy
artillery attack, French infantry regi-
ments have rushed the German posi-
tions at several points from Souchez
to the northern outskirts Of Arras.
An official statement this afternoon
reported that the French have gained
ground in the first stages OF the new
battle, making progress along the sunk
en- road from Angres to Ablain.
The French left Is attacking violently
near Givenchy.
The crash OF great shells around
Souchez signaled the renewal Of the
struggle. The cannonade continued
throughout the night with frightful ef-
fectiveness. Daybreak showed portions
Of the enemy's works wrecked and lev
eled by the terrific fire and opening the
way for the French infantry.
The combat Is being waged at present
on q one-mile front, but the belief here
is that the fighting between Angres and
Ablain forecasts the resumption of the
French offensive on a great scale in the
region north of Arras.
The war office admitted this afternoon
that the Germans gained temporary
footing on the ridge east OF Metzeral
in the fighting for Colmar. During the
night. French counter-a cks drove the
enemy from nearly all the newly ac-
quired ground.
