SOME GAIN IS MADE
 ON VERDUN FRONT
In Eastern Theatre in Lutsk Region Russians Are Progressively Fight ing-Petrograd Reports Capture
 of Baiburt From the Turks

The heavy fighting that has been
 going on for days in the region of the
 somme has dwindIed perceptibly in in-
 tensity, Sunday witnessing merely
 heavy bombardments the British
 front and comparative calm on the line
 Verdun the French to the northwest
 of the fortress have captured German
 positions; and southwest of Thinumont,
 on the east bank of the Mouse, have
 penetrated German first line trenches.
 In the eastern theatre in the region of Lutsk heavy fighting has been renewed with the Russians the aggressors. Ac- cording to Vienna, all attacks here have
 been repulsed Neither the Vienna nor the Petrograd official communication touches upon the operations in the Car pathian region, but Petrograd records the capture from the Turks by the Russians of the important town of Baiburt, in Turkish Armenia, 50 miles south of the Black sea port of Trebizond.
 The Italians are still making headway against the Austrians, according to Rome, especially on the Posina line, and have repulsed violent counter attacks with heavy losses to the Austrians.
 To the south of the Somme the Ger mans Saturday night in strong attacks launched under the cover of a fog, cap tured La Maissonnette and the village of Biaches, while farther south they pene- trated first line French trenches. From all these places they were driven out later by the French in heavy counter at- tacks In the Champagne region there l is again great activity by the French troops, who are being aided in their ma-
 neuvers by the Russians who recently came to France.
 Berlin tells of the repulse of four Brit ish attacks Saturday afternoon in the re- zion of Ovillers and Bazentin-Le-P Petit. while the London war office admits the withdrawal to the British main line of a force that had been thrown forward to the Foureaux wood and was engaged in in- proving the new British positions.

ASHEvILLE FLOODED

| Asheville, N. C.. July 16-Flood water which swept through the French Broad
 and Swannanoa valleys of North Caro- I lima today. had taken a toll of five lives tonight, driven hundreds of persons from

People We'll Satisfied With Peace and Prosperity of
 Administration
GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS
 ARE ACCOMPLISHED
In No Instance Can Opposition Criti- cize Democrats With Basis of Fact and Truth-Wa Wailings of Reac-
 tionaries Will Not Fool Voters
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. July 16.-(SpecialO-It is made more and more apparent that the republican party will fail in it's strenu- ous efforts to find an issue on which to base it's opposition to the reelection of President Wilson.
 There is no question but that they will
 continue to criticize the administration
 for alleged shortcomings" in interna-
 tional diplomacy. But the people of the
 United States, it is evident, are so wet pleased with peace and prosperity" and
 there is and has been peace, and there
 is incomparable prosperity-that the cat erwauling of the g. o. D. reactionaries IS
 destined to die away like midnight wall in the wind. sF
 It is certain that there will be no do mestic issue. Naturally, the republicans
 will speak adversely of the democratic tariff but in view of the fact that the
 era is one of plenty, their attack against
 the tariff will be the result only of force of habit. They cannot honestly point to specific instances in which it has failed. .s

THEY MUST APPLAUD

The Wilson administration, even fepup- licans must admit, has been one of no table achievements-not for the man pos sessed of wealth but for the man who labors.
 The tariff was conceived with the idea that the rich can care for himself while the poor requires the benefcient aid of the government. While it is the bete noir of .big business," it was prepared with such ample, justice to all American citizens that, despite the fact that II represents the issue between the political schools of thought, it went through with the support of respectable number of republican votes.
 The platform promise of reformation in the currency system was fulfilled in the enactment of the federal reserve laws-and these laws were supported by republican members of congress-and have the approval today of the financial world. So finely has the system, worked that the republicans. were they restored to power would not attempt to sub stitute any other plan,
 FOR THE FARMER
 And the platform promised legislation favorable to the farming and laboring classes. Samuel Gompers- declares that the Wilson administration has done more for labor than any other administration in the history of the country. For the farmer Congress has devised progress sive marketing system, rural credits law which will permit every man to own his home and develop his acreage. and good roads bill under the terms oi which the government, in collaboration with the several states. will expend ir five years, sS5,00o,0o0 in developing the highways of the nation.

THE MEANING OF CHARITY That Worth Striving for Con denns No Sinner and Holds
 Out Hope to Everyone.

least real charity of mind. They would be the quickest to condemn the smallest error in a fellow being, while giving generously to their chu1c ch charities.
 Have you learned the first principles of that great charity which sees no evil in others, but looks beyond the erring man to the divine spark which was and in his origin?
 Most of us find it easy to give the aims of dime, quarter or a dollar to the beggar in the street, but we find it very hard to give the greater aims Of kind words and cheery friendliness to the social pariah who, having com mitted some crime or other, has been cast beyond the social pale. We can give the aims of money to for Ign and home missions, but can we bring ourselves to extend the divine aims Of forgiveness and love to those who have offended and worked evil against us? This is the real charity. It is far greater than the charity of giving money to the poor, which in many cases Involves no sacrifice at all.
 Let us strive to learn through the giving of monetary aims the lesson of real mental charity. Let us try to overlook the offenses and sins com mitted against us and others, and to see right through the sinner to where the real man stands. Let US begin our charity at home by changing our men tai workings so that we can give love and cheer, instead of hate and anger. Then we will know the real meaning of charity.

Bronson stood listening interestedly. Mrs. Bronson opened her gold mesh bag and slipped ten dol lars into the girls hand. He dropped another ten into the girls lap.
 Then Mrs. Bronson, the baby in Der arms, went smiling to her husband. "How tiny it isl" she said pityingly. He bent over it and gently put his finger into the scrawny fist. "It needs food and care and comfortable home." Then she gave it to the motk- CT, who went happily out to buy foSI.
