BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE, July 15 (Via London) After the breach was made in the second German line, yesterday cavalry detachments, Eng fish and Indian, for the first time had the reward of their years wait since trench warfare began. They went straight in the face of the Germans, who are forming new defense line between the strong points of High woods and Delville wood which the British infantry was attacking.
 It was seven o'clock in the evening .-Een they rode forth from the cover where they were awaiting orders to cross the fields after their patrols had felt their way, with clear going ahead, and behind them the demolished trenches of the first and second lines and an area of shell holes which made difficult their progress to their rendez- vous. Infantrymen who witnessed the sight could hardly believe their eyes

LONDON, July IS. - The British forces have held all the ground gained in Fridays advance and taken two or three or more small sectors of trenches in the German second line. This is the gist of Saturdays news from the front in France.
 Two thousand prisoners were cap tured in the last advance and at one point the British are four miles beyond the German first line which they crossed thirteen days ago. In all, ten thousand prisoners and quantities of war material have fallen into British hands.
 All tidings from the front from cor respondents and wounded agree that the British plans have been well worked out and executed. There are no reports of failure of the reserves to arrive which turned the battle at Loos from victory into d costly stalemate or ol similar incidents; nor of strategic CT TOTS or a shortage of supplies whicf changed the Mesopotamian and Galli- poll campaigns into tragedies

It orig inally was intended to ship this com modity in the bags in which it had been packed but it was found this would take up too much space The removal of the rubber from the bags consequently will cause an unexpect- | edly lengthening of the time for load | ing and 1t is considered improbable ] that the Deutschland could get away with q full cargo before Monday night. 1 No nickel so far has been loaded on the submarine while apparently less than 50 tons of rubber have been put 1 in the hold.

 The theory has been abandoned that the murder was only one step in a plot for a wholesale jail delivery and revenge upon the prosecuting attor- ney. A threatening letter received by Mcdaniel about two weeks ago and the finding of a kit of tools to- day which could be used for a jail delivery appeared to bear this out It is now suspected by the officers that the anonymous letter was writ I ten inside the jail and a partner who was in the jail on a charge of high way robbery is believed by the police to know something about it. He and several other prisoners were question cd by the police today and t was rumored that one of .hem supplied a | clew.
 A telephone call which led Mcdaniel down town last night and which af- | terward proved to have been a decoy | to secure entrance to the house. of-
 tered opportunity for the murder. f As he was driving home anG step ped from his car to open his garaey door a shot was fired at him from be hind the building Mcdaniel who had carried 9 gun since he began reeeiv-
