RUSS WARSHIP STRUCK
KaiSer'S Land Batteries on Gulf
of Riga Silenced by
Fleet

The new general offensive of the
entente allies on the western front
has resulted in the gain of additional
ground both in the Artois region, near
Souchez and in the Champagne. ac-
cording to to-day's French official
statement. All the heavy German
counter attacks are declared to have
been beaten off.
French officers estimate that yes
terday's futile attack by the German
Crown Prince in the Argonne brought
the losses of his armies in the various
recent assaults in this region up to
100000.
Yesterdays German assault on the
Argonne positions is described by
French military men as breaking at
the first line of defense, which had
held up under the preparatory artil-
lery fire of the Germans. The same
thing is declared to have occurred on
the three repeated attempts, the
ground being left thickly strewn with
the German dead and wounded.
The Serbian war office at Nish re-
ports two attempts by Teutonic forces
TO cross the Drina into Serbian terri
tory both of which were repulsed.
The Russians claim to have silenced
German land batteries on the gulf OF
Riga by the fire of their fleet in a
recent bombardment One Russian
warship was hit by a shell, it is stated
The Serbian minister at Sofia is re-
ported in Budapest dispatches through
Berlin to have given notice of his in
tention to leave Bulgaria, giving il
health as the reason.
Berlin has a report that the efforts
of Greece to obtain an agreement with
Rumania for common policy have
failed. Greece also informed Serbia
according to Berlin advices, that sh'
would resist the passage of foreign
troops through Greek territory. Thi:
supposedly has reference to report:
that the entente allies would senc
troops to Greece If Bulgaria should at.
tack Serbia.

The property damage is estimated at
more than S1.0U0.000. There are at

the Santa Fe freight and passenger
depots were affected.

siding on account of it's bad order" "
The car was leaking gasoline so that
a pool of the fluid had formed on the
ground under 1t.

road men say, mounted the car, un-
| screwed the cap and peeped in. Just
then the gasoline became ignited.
| Woods, the car and every loose piece
of material within a hundred yards
was hurled through the air.
Reports that there were two ex-
| plosions were confirmed to-day. Dyna-
mite in the freight store house was set
off by the concussion of the gasoline
/ explosion.
The damage caused by the shock
was greater than that caused by the
