SUCCESSES IN FRANCE, EAST GA
LlcIA AND THE ITALIAN
THEATER CONTINUE.
MILLIONS OF SHOTS FIRED
British Fire on the German Trenches
From Ypres to the Somme In
cessant-itaiians Have Taken
Griso-Austrians Routed.

London.-Successes for the entente
allies on the three most important
European fronts-in France, in the
Italian theater and in East Galicia-
are chronicled in the latest official
communications.
The French and British continue
their raids against the Germans in
France, the French having captured
the Thiaumont work, northeast of
Verdun, and the British having kept
up their commandments of German
trenches and their incursions into
German positions by raiding parties.
The Russians have taken Kolomea,
an important railway junction lead
ing to Lemberg, in Galicia, and the
Italians continue to advance against
the Austrians in the Trentino region.
Fierce Thiaumont Struggle.
The struggle for the possession of
the Thiaumont works, taken by the
German crown princes forces from
the French a week ago, was most
severe, the position changing hands
several times.
Violent bombardments have marked
the fighting on the remainder of the
front around Verdun, particularly on
the sector Of hill 304.
The British are keeping up their
tactics Of destroying by artillery fire
German first and second line trenches
from Ypres to the Somme. Uneffi-
cially it is reported that the British
are expending more than 100000
shells day in this work.
In addition to the capture of Co
lomea the Russians also have taken
the town of Obertine, northeast of
Kolomea, and several other villages
north and south of that point.
On the front in Russia, from the
GaIician border to the region of Riga,
there have been battles at various
points, but with no decisive results.
Italians Unchecked.
The Italians have taken Griso and
several mountain positions southeast
of Trent. Their advance against the
Austrians Also has resulted in the
capture of nearly 1000 prisoners as
we'll as stores of armms and ammu-
milton. Vienna claims only the re-
pulse of attacks in this sector.
An unofficial report of a battle be-
tween Russians and German squad
rons in the Baltic sea, south Of Stock
holm, on Thursday, have been re-
ceived in London from Stockholm.

John Adams a Hard Loser.

John Adams. second president of
the United States. was not a good
loser He wanted another term. and
worked hard for it None of the can
didates received majority of the
electoral votes. and the election was
thrown into the house of representa-

there, for he was third in the race,
and only the two having the highest
number of electoral votes could be
voted for Thus the choice lay be-
tween Jefferson and Burr, and Jeffer
son won Adams was very much dis
gruntled, and did everything in his
power to make things unpleasant for
his successor He filled every vacant
office he could lay his hands on. so
as to leave as little patronage as pos

Some Ancient Volcano Became Active
and Great Rocky Block Sank and
Formed Pool Bed.

The statement sometimes made that
Tahoe is an old volcanic crater" is
not true. according to report of the
government geological survey The
region about the lake shows evidences
of volcanic activity of various kinds,
and the lake waters themselves have
probably been damned at times by
outpourings of lava A lava flow ap-
pears to have temporarily filed the
outlet channel below Tahoe City. The
lake, however, lies in structural de-
pression-a dropped block OF the
earth's crust. During the Neocene
epoch and the earlier part of the
Pleistocene epoch the waters of Lake
Tahoe stood much higher than now
probably on account of lava dams
which have since been cut through.
Distinct beaches that mark former
higher levels are found up to about
one hundred feet above the present
lake, but it is believed that the waters
formerly rose to still greater heights.
At Tahoe City the most distinct of
these old beaches is terrace thirty

The door c'osed. Farquhar went
back to his writing table. He did not
tear up the yellow, faded letter, but
propped it against bronze candlestick

eyes. Then he began to write. He
wrote four letters. One was to the
war Office. When he had finished he
opened drawer and took out an army
revolver, which he examined and then
loaded carefully. He switched off the
electric lamp. He went over to the

CONGRESS ADJoURNs 3 DAYS.
Crisis Between the United States and
Mexico Not Vet

Washington.-With the adjourn
ment Of the house Saturday over the
Fourth Of July it became highly i'm
probable that the crisis between the
United States and the de facto gov
eminent of Mexico would come to
final issue before Wednesday at the
earliest.
Despite growing impotence over
General Carranza's delay in comply
ing with demands that he state his
intentions toward American troops
in Mexico President Wilson made no
move toward laying the situation be-
fore congress. Officials believe he
will wait some days, at least, for a
reply to the note sent a week ago,
provided there are no further attacks
upon General Pershing's men in the
meantime.

Tho Great Law In Force.

When Richard Farquhar awoke from
his heavy sleep it was broad daylight.
He dressed, and by midday was on
duty. Those who had witnessed the
scene on the preceding night glanced
at him curiously, but his face be-
trayed nothing-neithcr WEAKNESS nor
the self-disgust usual on such occa
sions. They saw he had changed, but
the change was indefinabe. They saw,
also. that, whatever else had happened,
he had not apo!ogized to Sewer. The
two men exchanged the curtest and
Dost perfunctory greeting.
BY seven O'Clock he stood again in
the Omneys' library. and Sylvia Omney
stood on the threshold waiting. She
was simply dressed in dark, clinging
material which set off more perfectly
the fair sweetness of her features.

without answer.

KIDNEY MEDICINE THAT
STANDS THE HIGHEST

Some twelve years ago began
handling DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
and we have heard nothing but praise
for it as it seems to give entire
satisfaction in every instance. From
the manner in which customers speak
of your. remedy we have learned to
place sufficient confidence in it to
recommend Swamp-Root above all
other kidney remedies. From the de-
mand I Judge it to be the most gen
orally used kidney medicine in this
country, and reports regarding it are
always favorable.

MINSTREL SHOW ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
SOME COMEDY AND
TUNEFUL SINGING OFFERED
BY ST ALOYSIUS SODALITY
FOR BENEFIT.

Final rehearsals will be held to-
night and tomorrow night for the
eighth annual minstrel and musical
entertainment to be given by st. Alloy
sius Sodality for the benefit of Sis
ters of Mercy, on Wednesday night
at o'clock, at the hall of st. Mich
ael's School building.
w. V. McNair, one of the leading
"Men Behind the Fun" will sing care
You From Dixie ?" together with Ben
Jones, and his blacl1face stunts will
attract much favorable attention.
John Muller, who has an excellent
baritone voice, viii sing one of Tell
Taylor's latest hits, "All For Love Of
You" This is one of the best num-
bers on the program.
The chorus viii be the largest and
best that has been preserved by the
Sodality and the singing will add
wonderfully to the success of the per-
Torrance.
The "High License Court" the aft
erpiece, is one of the best, and viii
keep the audience in an uproar OF
laughter. In this scene win be rep
resented several local lights, also
Charlie Chaplin.
One feature of the attractions put
on by the Sodality is that of prompt
start on scheduled time, something
that is usually lacking in amateul
performances. Their entertainments
! do not drag. but are mt on with the
snap and ginger that characterizes
professional shows. They give THEN
audiences their moneys worth, iT
their entertainments, which do noI
last longer than two hours.
Wednesday night at s O'Clock al
the hall of ST. Michael's school build
ing, is the schedule.
