GERMANS OCCUPY
SOUCHEZ TRENCHES
ReCapture Part of Lines in
VOsges and Lose Two
BlOCkhOuSeS.

London. July 2S.-The Germans have
again attacked the French in the
Nosges and in Artois, near SOuchez. in
an effort to regain trenches lost during
the last few days, and have been partly
successful in both places, according to
both French and German official re-
ports.
The French captured two blockhouses
in Alsace, in the region of the recent
heavy fighting around Lingekopf.
Following is the official communica-
tion given out to-day by the French
( War Departments:
"In Artois, TO the north of Souchez,
the Germans, after a strong lombard
ment, delivered last night several diff
ferent attacks against three OF our
positions. After very spirited combat
they were driven out of the trenches
which they mad succeeded in occupying,
with the exception of one point, where
they retained twenty yards of a sap
head in advance of our front. The
town of scissors was bombarded yes
terday evening.
an the Argonne, in the vicinity of
Fontaine aux Charmes, the enemy UNI
dertook to make an attack, but they
were driven back to their trenches by
our infantry fire.
an Alsace we have occupied two
enemy blockhouses to the east of
LinCekopf and Schratzmannele."
The German War Offices statement
of the fighting, received to-day from
Berlin, says:
Northwest of Souchez the Silesian
lanGsturm last night stormed portions
of trenches which as a result of pre-
vious fighting still remained in the
hands of the French. We captured
four machine guns.
an the Vosges, on the Lingekopf-
Barrenkopf line, severe fighting took
place. After four hours of hand-to-
hand conflict the French attacks were
repulsed by our counter attacks. We
recaptured the trenches on Lingekopf
which we lost the day before yesterday,
with the exception of one small posi-
ton"

GERMAN SHIPS PLAY
HOAX In BROOKLYN
Turn Bows Seward Merely to
Adjust Compasses, Not
for Dash.

Half of the population Of South
Brooklyn turned out yesterday after
noon to watch the German fleet of six
vessels tied up a, The Hamburg Ameri-
can Line docks at the foot of Thirty
third Street, Brooklyn depart on a
dash across the seas. The long ex-
rected event nearly came to pass. The
ropes were cast loose, tugs pulled and
pushed and gradually the large, clumsy
hulls of the steamers slipped away
from the piers. In the middle of the
stream they slowly turned until their
bows pointed straight out to sea.
There they lo!" the watchers
shouted. And it seemed as if the six
German ships, after almost a year Of
idleness, were about TO put out. But
the marine superintendent of the Ham
burg-American Lines Brooklyn piers
dispelled all fears of some of the by
ISLANDERS that the vessels might fall
prey to Allied cruisers lurking off the
American shores by saying:
"They are not going to make dash
for the ocean. See 'em come back.
They'll be snugly tied up here until
the end of the war. The only thing
thew needed is to be turned over on
their other side. Then they can go
to sleep another year"
Then he explained that the metal
structures Of the iron piers to which
the ships had been tied for almost a
wear had affected the compasses, and
that the magnetic needles had been
shifted from their position.
"The only way to bring them back to
their true point is by turning the ships
around. That will counteract the eff
feet of the iron upon the magnetic
needles"
Inquiries made at the Hoboken piers
of the Hamburg American Line and
the North German Lloyd, where four
teen German ships are tied up, ELECTED
the reply that the ships there might be
turned, too, at any time. Several of
them are being painted now, and in or
der to paint the side toward the piers
il will be necessary to move them out
into the stream and turn them.
But what of that" demanded Mr..
Strahl. marine superintendent of the
LLOYD. as that a neutrality violation,
or will it offend the Allies merchant
men when our ships point their noses
at them while they pass on the way
to their piers?
81 would like to have it understood
that our ships are by no means in
termed If the company sees fit TO send
them out of port to-day, out they go.
But for the present, | think they will
remain here in hospitable Hoboken."
The ships tied up at the Brooklyn
piers are the Hamburg, the President
Grant. the Armenia, the Masovina, the
Pisa and the Koenig Wilhelm ii.

A political press bureau at

formation on the political stu
alton that is highly interesting
ven though it does not con-
tain a grain of truth. Accord
ing to this prophet the stall
warts have decided to ditch
Frame for governor candidate
and crown Attorney General
Linde in place. This flank
movement on the part of the
stalwarts has resulted in a shift
of the progressiyes from Bur-
dick to p. O.. Thorson of Grand
Forks or F. E. Packard of Bis
marck. Tom Hall is also Stat
ed for destruction at the hands
of the progressives, according
to the Bismarck story. Tom
has been too wobbly in his con-
victions and will have to 20

step into the shoes of the secre-
tary of state. Oscar J. Seller
is slated for United States
senator, while States Attorney
LANCER of Morton county will
fill the hole left by Linde's re-
tirement from his present posi-
ton. Taken by and large, it
is a very interesting ticket, even
if nothing else can be said of
it. And then. of course, there
is that pesky primary election

in Congress. He has lett a

none need be misled as to his

not specially to criticise Nc
Cumber's political record. We
are merely pointing to it for
the purpose of inquiring by
what right these keepers of

insist that the support of Nc

AT the risk of being design

to know who has authorized
the new code of ethics that has
been set up for the progressive
republicans by a few of the

The editors of these news
papers profess such a fine de.
gree of insurgency that they
question the sincerity of other
progressives who have not de.
clared unequivocally for Porter
J., McCumber for United States
senator. They charge that
these have been subsidized by
Gov. Hanna, who is suspected
of having an inclination to also
run for United States senator.
Consequently we have this
situation: Support Porter J.
