ALLIES CRUSH
TEUTON LINES
T%hiaumont, Field Work on the
Mouse, ReocCupied by
Germans
RUSSIANS RAIDING HUNGARY

Londo1.-The French troops, coop
Grating with the British in the Somme
River region, have Strengthened their
line somewhat by the capture of Bar
leux, Belloy-en-Santerre and Estrees
and are advancing on a considerably
wider front toward Peronne. At
Estrees, where 500 prisoners YER
taken, the fighting is still going on
f%uriously.
On the British sectors of the line
only slight progress has been made.
Unofficial dispatches say that the en-
tire British front of ninety miles Is
bearing it's full share of the battle,
but it is toward the south that the
heaviest fighting is under way.
A high British officer is authority
for the statement that artillery prep
aration will precede al further in
fantry attacks, as the resourcefuiness,
determination and fighting qualities
OF the Germans, as well as the power
Of their d~efences, are well recognized.
The French army defending Verdun
is engaged in particularly heavy fight
ing, the Germans not having permit
ted the battle of the Somme to inter
fere with their operations for the cap
ture of the great fortress. On the
Verdun front the Germans have taken
the Thiaumont work for the fourth
time, after a terrific bombardment and
by a massed attack. Around his work,
which has been the center of desper-
ate attacks and counter attacks for
many days past, thousands of men
have fallen. This is a position which
is essential to the Germans for carry
ing their advance nearer to Verdun
itself and to the French to keep their
resistance intact.
Russians and Italians are lending
all their strength to the combined
blow against the Central Powers and
Bucharest reports a significant move
ment of Russian patrols, which are
said to have advanced from Kimpo-
lung, in the Bukowina, and entered
Hungarian territory. All along the
Russian front engagements of the Sc
verest character are in progress and
the Russians, driving north from
Kolomea, have advanced more than
twenty miles and are threatening to
~outfank Gen. Won Bothmer's army
and the Austro-G German forces in the
Tarnopol region. Should this Rus
sian movement prove successful Won
Bothmer may have to fall back on
Lemberg.

Mr.. schiff on the Tariff.

Former Governor Glynn is to be
congratulated for resurrecting the
speech of Jacob H. Schiff at the ban
quet of the Republican club last jan
uary. Speaking of the tariff, MIR.
Schiff said:
Il want to explain that nothing can
stop the great prosperity we now have
except a renewal of tariff agitation
in the mex campaign. Standing here
on holy Republican ground. / say to
you, without fear or favor, If you renew
in the next presidential campaign the
tariff agitation of the past, If you
threaten the country and show it you'll
want a renewal of special privilege
and high protection, the people will
have none of ii. The people have
learned the workmen and. the farmers
have learned, and they cannot be r1fs-
led any longer. / do not say that be-
cause l love the Republican party less,
but because l love it more. My heart
Is for the Republican party. butAmy.
common sense makes me a DemocratsJ
1t is well to recall these frank words
which the Republican leaders have re-
jected. They have done just what
Schiff warned them not to do; they
have renewed their old demand for
special privilege and high protection,
and they are going to meet the defeat
which 4 of their own wisest men
predicted for them six months ago.

ALLIES SMASH
GERMAN Line
TwO-MiIe Advance Made by
British at Some Points
of Attack
KAIsER's LOSSES GROWING

London.-Inaugurating their great
est offensive Of the war, the British
and French in simultaneous assaults
over a front Of 25 miles along the
River Somme, captured 10, 900 pris-
oners. They took eight towns and
| other positions, and smashed the Ger
man front to a depth of five miles
in some places.
The entire first line trenches were
taken, the Anglo-French advancing to
the second line five miles in the rear
and retaining the terrain won.
The towns captured were, Montau-
ban and Mametz, east of Albert, with
positions to the northeast, and Dom
pierre, Becquincourt and Fay, south
Of the Ancre river.
A series of powerful counter strokes
were delivered by the Kaiser's in
fantry legions but they did not sue
coed in recovering any of the lost
ground
The official statements issued in
Paris and London state the total num-
Der of German prisoners at $500. The
lions share of this total, 5000, Is
credited to the French, the other g.
500 to the British.
The Germans concentrated all their
energy east and south of Albert,
where the British and French lines
join.
The village of Hardecourt, in the
Allies hands, was the scene of the
bitterest fighting.
The French captured the fortified
village Of Curin, seven miles south
east of Albert and well within the
German first line.
A furious German attack at Mon
tauban, five miles east of Albert, and
foul miles above Curtin, broke down.
The biggest success achieved by
the British was the capture of the
strongly fortified village of Fricourt,
southeast of Albert, and near the CEN
ter of the battle front.
Farther north, British troops pene-
trated German trenches at various
points on the front between Souchez
and Ypres.
ne scene Oh the nerceSt nghting on
the Somme is 60 miles north of Paris.
"Feelers" put out by the British
on the western front two days g
apparently succeeded in locating the
weak spots in the German front. The
fighting is the bloodiest of the war.
The battle of Verdun, up to a few
days ago regarded as "the greatest
of history" now seems like a skirm-
lsh alongside the giant struggle 60
ing on between Teutons and Allies on
the Somme. Yet this struggle, it is
clear, is still in its initial stage.
A heavy attack was directed by the
Germans against the Thiaumont field
work, near Verdun. again in French
hands. The attacking force was dis
persed.

GOOD TARIFF PLANK y
Democratic Wisdom Shown in Its
Adoption.
Endorsement Of N~onpartisan Commits.
sion viii Surely Appeal to Those
Who Have the country's Real
interests at Heart

Having taken the greed and graft
u of the thrift, the Democratic party
In its platform naturally omits the
fierce denunciation of custom-house
taxation for the enrichment of private
interests which long characterized its
u%tterances on this subject. Some peO-
pie will miss also the proposition that
congress has no constitutional power
to impose tariffs except for revenue.
and the familiar words "a tariff for
revenue only are not used, though
the sentiment is there in general terms.
Tariff planks In both parties vary
greatly from time to time. High-tarif
Republicans have not always pro-
claimed and glorified extOrtion as in
the days of Hanna and Mckinley.
Only on a few occasions have low
tariff Democrats accepted without
qualification the radical theory that
because protection was likely to he
abused the principle must be de-
nounced and abandoned. The fact is
that Democrats as well as Republicans
when in power have always recognized
the propriety of safeguarding Amer
lean enterprise and industry. I
What makes this years Democratic
tariff plank noteworthy is it's candid
recognition, by Endorsement of a ION
partisan tariff commission, of the
legitimate business aspects of tariff
taxation as applied to foreign competi-
ton in manufactures and trade. Civ
Ing congress accurate information and
expert advice, such a body should
prove as discouraging to the extrem-
lists who would burn the custom houses
as to the gluttons of monopoly who
would turn them into robbers roosts.-

KEY TO LEMBERe SEIZED.

London.-The town of Kolomea. in
Galicia, called the key to Lem.
berg, was captured by the Russians.
With this strategic point the Cars
forces get control of five railways and
six highroadg.
This places them in a position to
press their advance on Lemberg from
the south.
The Russians also have taken the
town OF Obertyn, northeast of Kolo.
mea, and several other villages north
and south of that point.
The rea of the Austrian army is
threatened by the Russian
and the force of General Won Both
mer on the Stripa is placed in a pre-
carious position.
The battle leading to the evacuation
OF kolomea is described as having
been terrible in its ~stubborness, and
Is said to have been attended by tre-
mendous loss of life.
The Russians attacked the Austrians
repeatedly and at heavy cost before
they compelled the Teutons to retire.
In the fighting further north at Me
ZWiska against Won Bothmer's army
the Russians south of the Dniester
forced their way to the westward to
the mouth of the Stripa.

After Making imprisoned Statement.
London.-Sir Roger Easement was
found guilty of high reason and SEN
fenced to death. The jury brought
in the verdict, after having been out
less than an hour.
Sir Roger received the sentence
with the utmost composure, smiling
at friends in the courtroom. After
the rendering of the verdict he made
a statement, which took a half-hour
in the reading. 1t was a plea for the
right to be tried by Irishmen and for
Irish nationality.
An appeal will be taken by Sir
Rogers counsel to the Criminal Court
of Appeals and then to the House of
Lords.
Sir Roger read his final statement
with the explanation that he wished
1t might reach a much larger audi
ence than the one before him, and
particularly the people of America,
from whom had come many messages
of sympathy to him, and whose own
struggle for liberty, he said, always
had been an inspiration to Irishmen.
His auditors, among HON were Wis
count Bryce and many other promi-

silence, some showing much emotion.
