OBREG0N STRENGTHENS
HIS ARMY ON BORDER


SAN ANTONIO. Tex, July /
While the war department today was
moving into the frontier thousands
Of the national guardsmen, General
Obregon, Carranzas minister of war,
was engaged in strengthening his
border army. Minor changes were
directed by him in his armies that
now are quartered in force in almost
all the northern cities, except a few
that lie under the American guns, ac-
cording to information that reached
the intelligence department at Fort
Sam Houston.
1t was another day without news
of any clashes between Mexican and
American troops that face each other
across the line, but almost all infor-
nation obtainabe indicated that
Mexican army officers were convinced
that war was practically inevitable.
McXicans Not Marching.
One of General Pershing's ayiators
investigated reports that Mexican
troops had been concentrated at
GuZman and that they even had be-
gun march toward the American
lines, but his report showed the i'm
probability of immediate action from
that quarter. He flew over Guzman,
which is east of the line General
pershing has established, and report
e5 that the number OF Mexican
troops now there appeared not more
than 1000 and the apparently no
operations for an early movement
were being made. Strong forces
have been distributed along lines

FRENCH VICTORIOUS
I'M VER-DUN FIGHTING


First Makes SHOWING
Considering the short time a great
many OF the men have been in the
national guard service, the First regi-
ment is making a very good showing
in the opinion Of the regular army Of
hCers stationed near them. They have
been put through less rigorous pro-
gram Of activity today than was re-
CURED Of the members Of the Second
on their first day out, but we're given
plenty to do. Four hours at drill was
one of the days performances. There
Is but little sickness in either rcgi-
ment In fact there has been an alb
senCe Of any serious disorder since
the camp was started.
Battalion drills have been given the
Second regiment during the last two
days and these soldiers are showing a
decided improvement in all the work.
River is Dragged
The Kanawha river below camp has
been dragged today in n futile effort
to find the body Of Herbert Francis,
Of Company G, First infantry, who
was drowned while in swimming be-
fore noon, It was found that the river
in many places near where he went
down is more than thirty feet deep.
I'VE may move Monday; we may
not, was the statement made by three
officers in camp today at different
times When the time comes for the
soldiers to cntrain they will be started
some place known only 10 the rail
way officials. The officers do not cx-
pect to be informed on that point
themselves.
Another Big Day.
Sunday will again be made a big
day in camp Excursions will be run
from various directions and ten thou
sand persons are expected to visit the
soldiers during the afternoon and see
dress parade.
The public service commission has
given permission to the railroads opcr-
atIng in southern West Virginia to

GREAT WEDGE is DRIVEN
IN THE GERMAN LINES

LONDON, July 1.-The grand often
sive on the western front begun by
the British and French on both sides
of the river Somme, sixty miles north
Of Paris, early this morning, has al
ready resulted in great wedge be-
ing driven into the German lines along
a sixteen mile front, with its sharp
point penetrating nearly five miles.
At o'clock tonight the British had
pushed from a short distance east Of
Albert, as far as Montauban, more
than five miles away and had repulsed
n German counter attack on that vii
lage.
Villages Captured.
Both to the north and the south a
number of other villages. including
DRebuterne, Serre, La Boisselle and
Mametz, had been swept out of Ger
man hands, some of them only after
determined resistance on the part Of
their defenders.
Fricourt, three miles east Of Albert,
was still in German possession in the
early evening, but with Lne capture
of Montauban and Mametz to the east
and southeast Of It, and La Boisselle
to the northeast, the place was nearly
surrounded and its speedy surrender
seemed inevitable.
French Cooperate.
Farther south the French are CO.
operating with the British and have
taken the village of Curlu and scored
other notable advances.
The Entente Allied drive was begun
against German trenches levelled af-
ter seven-day bnmhardmant in

concerning the probable movement Of

der which regular officers would be
assigned to aid in the training Of
state troops and of other matters con-
nected with the mobilization of 1OO,-
900 men to reinforce General Funs-
toms lines.
In Congress the Senate military
committee prepared to increase by
probably more than $1OO,OOO,OOO the
army appropriation bill as it passed
the House. The committee how has
approved an increase totaling $75,-
100000 1t is expected the $751;
OOO,00O measure passed by the House
will reach total OF more than $780,
OOO,0 when reported to the Senate.
Some Items Added.
Among items added today, were
$4,000, 900 for the army aviation
service, including provisions for
equippIng twelve national guard avia-
ton sQuadrons; S1.545,490 for the
signal corps, $4,000, 900 for national
guard field artillery and ammunition;
$4,5S6,O0O for machine guns; ST.
100000 for armored motor cars and
$5,000,O00 for ordnance stores.
1--WE expect these figures will stag
ger some members of Congress, said
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the committee, but we are going to
put the responsibility for adequate
military preparedness sQuarely upon
Congress. The national guard, as
has been demonstrated in the last
few days, needs equipment. We are
going to show Congress in these fig
ures what must be appropriated to
put it in proper shape"
Faces Another Angle.
In the House, the appropriation
committee faced another angle of the
Mexican trouble.
Secretary Lansing called for an ad-
ditional 100000 to get Americans
out OF Mexico.
It NOuuLIlOuS ulV sum a. wv
present time" the secretary said in a
memorandum dated June %, which
accompanied the estimate, that in
my opinion it is highly desirable that
every American citizen should leave
Mexico at the earliest practicable
moment. The appropriation made
heretofore by Congress for assisting
Americans in tn event of Mexican
trouble is exhaustng and urge that
the amount aboya toned be ex-
pedited as much sible."
Emergency Inmates.
From Secretary Bakel there came
an estimate of $1,643,50o to meet
!. emergencies on the border The
Z money is needed to buy equipment for
the national guard ranging from ma
chine guns to engineer implements.
"A item of $500 is for the pur-
chase Of $50 machine guns which
were designed for use on European
battle fields but have been diverted
to American uses. A supply OF H.
Illuminating grenades also is desired
for use in night fighting.
State department advices today
dealt only with the flow of refugees
from Mexico and the effort of the
Carranza government to secure the
restoration of American property
seized since the present acute sit
uation developed.

British, is the scene of the most eX-
tensiye action Of any yet begun on
the western front and which the En-
tcnte Allies hope may prove the ilrSt
stage in the turning Of the tlde
against the Germans. Every one OF
the villages within the range OF VS.
ion will be fought over as were those
in front Of Verdun.
But this morning, something more
than mist and rising from the
rev had laden the fields hid the land
scape. From six o'clock to half past
seven all the guns along that twenty
miles were for the first time hrlns
their fastest in a chorus of final
blasts, cutting wires and demolishine
trenches. The rapid fire OF small cal
iber weapons resulted in continuous
roll, while only the guns Of big cali
bre with their heavier reports broke
the monopoly had percitlable inter-
walls between the blasts.
Smoke Hides Trenches.
The trenches were hidden by cur
tain of smoke punctured with vicious
flashes. Toward that cloud which
shrouded every form of destruction
within the power Of man the re-
serves were moving forward Far
above the observation balloons mo-
tionless in the still air, squadron Of
aeroplanes was seen flying to its
work, shooting targets for the ar
illery.
At 1920 o'clock the rapid fire trench
mortars added their shells to the de-
luge pouring up on the first line Ger
man trenches. After ten minutes of
this, at 1880 o'clock, the guns lifted
their fire to the second line of Ger
man trenches as if they were answer
ing the pressure of single button
and the men of the new British army
leaped over their parapets and rushed
toward the wrecXage the guns and
mortars had wrought Even close at
hand they were visible only a mo-
ment before being hidden by the
smoke Of the German shell curtain

The sun rose brilliantly, promising
another fine day. This was more well

carry forward the fire to protect the
infantry advance. On the average
clear day, from this point OF view in
