heaped upon the British army by Eng
 fish, French and American people because
 we apparently did nothing to assist the
 French in the desperate fighting on the
 Verdun front. But all this time we were
 doing the part required by General Joffre.
 According to this plan we conserved
 our troops, accumulated supplies and
 waited the word for the grand offensive in which we were to play our part with the Russians and Italians, as well as the French. Naturally, during these anxious weeks, we could give out no exciting news, because our deliberate preparations were not good copy. For certain tactical and moral reasons, which need not be di- | lated on, it was necessary that the French should not lose the east bank of the Mouse and General Joffre informed 1 us that he could hold the positions which | command that part of the river until the :, end of June, so we knew we were going to strike at the beginning of July. l PLAN WORKING OUT
 l 'The blow planned by the allied gen. I eral staffs included offensives by the Russians and Italians, which, I do not | need to tell you, already have begun we are not disappointed with our own ad- vance, which we expected to be slow | and we are enormously pleased with the
 wonderful progress made by the French who, with comparatively light losses, are sweeping forward to the Somme.
 Tt is quite evident the Germans were | surprised by the strength of the French offensive. They evidently believed our allies would be kept too busy before Verdun to participate seriously i'll the western offensive which they knew was | coming. Consequently they made ex- tensive preparations before our front, piling up endorsements there while comparatively neglecting the southern sector, dominated by the French. The Germans, anticipating our move, brought out great forces. much of which consisted of independent units called
 mousqueto battallions, armed only with light machine guns.
 l "Our enemy is brave and resourcefui, l and put up a desperate defense. espec- 1 ially in the region from Gommecourt to Fricourt, where he evidently expected 1 our main attack. In this region the I fighting was especially severe. The chalk formation gave the Germans 1 splendid chance to make the best use l of their miners. who constructed aug outs and other defensive works which l our heaviest shells could not destroy From the works mousqueto ba-tallions put up most determined resistance
 FRICOURT DIFFICULT
 | Physical features made the capture of Fricourt peculiarly difficult and our severe losses there was not uneX- pected. Montauban was one of the l strongest positions occupied by the l Germans. but our advance there was 1 brilliant and rapid without the losses suffered between Gommecourt and Fri court.

GERMAN VIEW OF ATTACK

The correspondent of the Lokal An zeiger, telegraphing on Sunday from German headquarters in France, describes the opening of the Anglo-French attack as follows
 For seven days and seven nights guns of all calibres from field guns to long ship guns have unceasingly hammered the German positions, camps and shelter behind constantly renewed waves of poison gas. The gas drifted over, mingled with shells which, as they burst, threw out corrosive benumbing fumes.
 ''The country between Ypres and Rove was one vast hell of fire during the long period of preparations, which was double the length of that which preceded the battle in Champagne last autumn. The only paucities came when sallies were made to determine whether an onslaught was possible. The German first line trenches in many places were completely under a hail of missiles, against which the best pioneer work was helpless.
 Tt came as relief to the German troops from an almost unbearable strain when the bombardment yesterday ceased and strong columns advanced. These did not attack the whole front, but broad sections on either side of the Somme and Ancre rivers from the British northern sector to La Boiselle. Along the second sector from LaBoiselle to the Somme the first line trenches were so demolished that they offered no support for their hard pressed occupants and they retired which was immediately decided upon and executed.
 WHERE SUCCESS WAS GREATEST
 '.The Mametz, Fricourt and Curlu ruins which lay in line with the front trenches had to be abandoned to the enemy who found here relatively his greatest suc- cess of the first day. The sector south of the Somme reaches to Lihons,z just south of the Roman road from Amiens to St. Queen tin. The material left behind in the abandonment of the front trenches was destroyed before retirement. The strug- gle continues along the whole front with enormous violence and the utmost use of artillery in recurrent heavy attacks These are the results of the first day of the monstrous combat in which the united forces of England, France and Belgium with an ,inconceiyable large sup ply of munitions and cannon from the whole world attempted to breach the German front. The first days success may be regarded as comparatively small. The loss of a limited territory was ex- pected, but no sensible person will over- estimate this moderate result of the first days offensive, since the abandonment of a bit of trench here and there, ruined village or couple of kilometres of territory signifies little in view of the many lines of our positions sometimes seven rows deep.'

BRYAN TALKS PEACE
 BEFORE EDUCATORS
Says Public School Teachers Should Not Yield to the War
 Spirit

New York, July 4-Hope that "the teachers in our public schools will not yield to the clamor of militarism," was voiced tonight by William J. Bryan in an address before the National Educa- tion association in session here. Tt is not the voice of the people, he said. "but an echo from the battlefields of Europe. The temporary excitement oi a world war should not be allowed to disturb our permanent educational sys- tenn. The school is not a ti ansient in stitution; it will aDide with us when the battle flags are furled.''

A NOTE OF PRAISE

There is one comedian now appear ing on the screen who can produce laughter without the use of a slap stick on the anatomy of another per- son, and his name is Douglass Fair banks. This young man is trained athlete, and an artistic actor He has a winning personality that "gets over" on the screen. His work is clean throughout, and he has an in- vigorating effect on his audiences. In fact, if Charlie Chapman is worth $67o,000 a year to the motion picture magnates, Douglass Fairbanks is worth $10,000,000 annually, as between him and the vulgar Chaplin there is no comparison. Chaplin insults the in- telligence, while Fairbanks arouses it to keener appreciation of the joys of life. Fairbanks is mana man S man.

BLAME UNDESERYED

That our gallant allies should advance faster with smaller losses than we is not only the fortune of war, but may be called poetic justice, since they lost so heavily during the long weeks while we were getting ready to take our share in the great offensive However, it must be clear now, even to laymen, that the blame heaped on us for not going to the aid of the French before Verdun was quite un- deserved, we are doing exactly what General Joffre requested. And when he gave the word we sprang to the attack, in which we have suffered grievousy, but which leads to no regret beyond sorrow for the fallen, for it now is our time to stand the brunt of battle.
 South of the Somme the Germans were completely surprised and our allies will get through to the river without much loss. In that region you may look for im- mediate developments as the fighting there now is in open field formation, the last of the enemy's works having been captured. A glance at the map will show you that our allies are clear across the network of trenches.
 Further north you will note that while our line now is behind the first series of German defenses, we are in immediate contact with strongly fortified places
 We are well content to do our share in the great general allied offensive, which already has proven that the initia- tive, so long in their hands, now is lost by the armies of the central powers

 World film feature, with
 -A Kitty Gordon in the leading role. is the attraction at the Strand today. This marks Miss Gordon's third appearance on the World pro- gramme, and is by far, the greatest picture in which she has yet ap peared. Her part gives her the op- portunities to show that she is an accomplished actress, and the man. ner in which she executes difficult roles proves her to be well versed in dramatic construction and able to perform the most delicate and intricate roles with the utmost ease, grace and charm. Besides her splen- did work throughout the five reels, she has occasion to wear clothes such as she is so noted for. As a whole, her work in The Crucial Test" is an achievement of which any star may well be proud.
