TO PROMOTE PERSHING


 The midsection of the border line. embracing all territory between Fl Pasc and point near Douglas and reaching northward to the Colorado state line. will be known hereafter as the department of New Mexico.
 Under its jurisdiction will fall the exp edition into Mexico. based at Co., lumbus, N. M. and Brigader General fershing, commanding the expedition- ary force. has been offered the post of department commander.
 A message went to General Pershing today asking if he desired to assume the Gut.e& of department chief in ac- dition to those which now fall to him as commander in the field The expe- dition is believed to have about com- pleted the movement begun i0 days or more ago when General Persning, for strategic reasons. ordered the lines G~awn in closer to the border. The war oePal tment has no definite !nforma-) ] ton as to the exact whereabouts of the various camps, but it is thought that the most advanced patrols now IAre within 150 miles of the border.
 No reply had been received from General Pershing at a late hour to- night. It is possible that he will see difficulties in the way of combining command of the department and of the expeditionary force under one head In that case there are indications that he would be expected to relinquish direct command of the expedition and estab- fish his headquarters at some point on the border. where he could give per- sonal attention to its needs and also supervise the disposition and training of the thousands of national guards men soon to be added to the portion or the line within the new depart ment. The war department has sug- gested Fl Paso for department head quarters, but left the final choice to General Pershing. With the line of communications greatly shortened the general still could coordinate the oper- ations of the various regiments now beyond the line. probably with the se- nior colonel assigned to direct com mand of the expedition.

 BYFRENCH ADVANCE
Heavy Fighting Proceedi
 All Along the Line $,s
VICTORIES CONFER
NoncommittaI German Conn v "Atior Causes Jubilation-Gener oFOch Commands French and the Brit
 ish Are Joyously Confident

London, July 3-The French British off, fensive in France made continued prog
 ress today. Heavy fighting is proceed
 ing all along the line, the war state
 ments say, especially south of the Ancre
 river, where tho British retain all of thekr
 positions They have captured La Bos-
 selle, the garrison of which surrendered,
 and are fighting successfully around Ovil-
 ers and north of F'ricourt.
 The French have captured Herbecourt, Assevilers, Buscourt and F1aucourt, and
 have made other substantial gains, talk
 ing additional prisoners and heavy guns.
 They are making great progress in the
 direction of the important German june
 ton of Peronne, little over three miles
 from Herbecourt.
 The British public learned tonight that
 the famous French General Foch, who
 has won a great reputation during the war, is directing the operations south of
 the Somme river. This has given in- creased confidence in the result of the al- lied offensive.
 SUCCESS IS CONFIRMED The noncommittal character of the German official statement issued today is considered In London as virtual con- firmation of the success of the Anglo French operations. The Germans admit that the division of their forces abutting
 both banks of the Somme, partly with drawn Saturday, now has been brought back to the second line Nothing has been announced from either side as to the casualties suffered. According to the German communication, the Anglo French losses were "eXtra ordinarily heavy" According to unofficial British reports, however, the British casualties
 were less than had been expected. All reports emphasize the tremendous nature of the British bombardment The gunners worked almost necessarily and when there was slight recess in the firing they slept easily amid the thunders
 of the battle.
 Great importance is attached to new ly invented mortar, which played havoc in the German trenches. Aircraft are taking an important role in the opera tions.
 Thus far the new offensive appears to have had little influence on the bat tie around Verdun. The Germans are stin showing undiminished vigor in the Mouse region and the French are as steadily resisting.

Over 300 Ordered to Report by Red Cross-Main Body of Pershing's Forces at Fl Valle, But Head

San Antonio, Tex, July 3.-Major General Funston, who has had command of the entire border army, was awaiting orders from the war department to- night to turn over the direction of the Fl Paso and everything west of there. Unofficially he had been advised early in the day that the recommendations he made several days ago that the bor- der army be placed under the command of three major generals had been acted upon by the Secretary of War, but later news from Washington indicated that General Funston would continue to have command of the border to the Arizona state lIne for the present.
 It was expected here that Mai. Gen. U. Franklin Bell, commanding the west ern department, would take over the western end of the line without delay, but General Pershings assumption of the New Mexico department, including the Fl Paso base, will be delayed pend ing the working out of minor details"

WHOLE FORCE READY

Acting on the assumption that tue du- ministration might call upon the army to readjust relations with Mexico, Gen eral Funston and his staff have planned the disposition of the National Guardsmen so that, with the 40,O00 regular troops already facing the in- ternational line, the whole force could be used for invasion if called upon. Train after train bearing guardsmen and supplies moved steadily towards designated stations and indications were that by the end of the week the mobilization would be almost com pleted.

FRENCH RIGHT PROGRESSES

Paris July 3-The third day of the battle of the Somme shows that the Franco British lines nave been further advanced with the French light sweep ing to the eastward south of the Somme. A group of strategic villages. large number of German prisoners and heavy guns have been taken.
 The advanced French lines now are only three miles from the important railway junction of Peronne, the de- fense of which has been greatly weak ened by the capture by the French on Sunday of Mereaucourt wood, south of the Somme and between Feuilleres and FrisS. This was the strongest fortified position of the German sec ond line of defense on theAentire front of the. attack. but the French divi- sion which took Prise continued to ad- vance with such impetus that the Ger mans were unable to resist. even un- der the protection of this formidable work. ~s~
 One of the fiefcest struggles was for the stone quarry, also strongly forti- fled, three quarters of mile east of Curlu. Here the Germans tried to stem the tide by a desperate counter attack but the French American coIonals, one of the most celebrated corps of the French army. rushed the position with such energy that the Germans broke before the bayonet.
 SUCCESS IS BRILLIANT
 The French success at Prise alsc was brilliant, as it strengthened their line south of the elbow of the Somme, thus avoiding exposure to crossfire, The French announcement today of ths capture of the village of Herbecourt and the outskirts of Estree and As sevillers carries the advance about six miles beyond the point. of departure Saturday.

Bell and Pershing to Divide Responsi- bility With Funston-Pershing Asked if He Cares for
 Promotion

Washington, July 3.-While the diplo- matic aspects of the Mexican difficulty showed no change tonight. war de- partment measures for a new distribu- ton of the border patrol clearly in dicated that months of active service along the frontier await the thousands of national guardsmen gathering in the south. Only the appointment of gen. eral officer to supreme command is lacking now to complete adequate ad- ministrative machinery not only for border operations but for 2 campaign of any desired proportions in Mexico.
 Under the new plan the 1S00~mi1e frontier will be divided so that the southern and western military depart ments will take care of the eastern and western extremties of the line, re- spectively Major General Funston, re- lieved from responsibility for the en- tire border at his own recommenda- tion. will continue in command of the southern department. while Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell. commanding the west ern department. will transfer his head quarters from San Francisco to Doug las. Ariz, to be in direct touch with his share of the border work

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS
Patented Process Is Responsible For
Its International Popularity.

Smokers SO much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
bacco that they often marvel that
this one brand could be so different
from all others.
The answer to this question is to
be found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you
will read: "Process Patented July
Both, 1907" That tells the whole
story. Prince Albert is made by a
patented process that cuts out the
bite and parch, which makes the to-
bacco so mighty agreeable and salts
flying to men of every taste of every
civilized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and a for
tune in money to perfect. But the
result mas proven to be worth all that
was expended upon it, because it has
set free men who believed they never
could enjoy a pipe or a makin's ciga-
rette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every mar to smoke a pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince Albert

LONDON And Berlin IN
DEADLOCK over BATTLE
British and Germans Make Claims and
Counter-CIaims Regarding
Sea Fight.
CBy the sun News ServiceD

London, June 6.-Claims and counter
claims continued to be put forth today
both here and in Berlin regarding last
Wednesdays North Sea battle.
The German admiralty issued a state
ment asserting that besides the British
super-DreadnOught Warspite, reported
sunk in the original German Official ac-
count. the 2I,0lO ton armored cruiser
Princess Royal the protected cruiser
Birmingham, and the destroyer ACasta,
were destroyed, according to evidence
given by British sailors picked up by
German ships" The British admiralty
denied this. adding again that there were
no British losses beyond those officially
published.
The British admiralty in a statement
declared that inasmurh as all British
submarines that participated in the North
Sea battle have returned to their base
the one which the Germans officially
reported lost must have been a Ger
man, and not a British, craft.
Another semi-offiCial account of the
battle was published in Berlin this aft
ernOon. In this it is for the first time
admitted that the force engaged by the
German high seas fleet at o'clock in
the afternoon of May 81. consisted of only

The agreement was reached at a con-
ference between Mr.. Keppel. committee
of five employees and William Blackman,
Commissioner of Cancellation, represent
ing the Department Of Labor. Announce
ment was made that the charges had
been proved and disciplinary action taken
toward the foremen accused of graft by
the employees.
The employees consider the elimination
of the grating foremen as equivalent to
an increase of wages. The other point
at issue-the reinstatement of discharged
employes-was settled on the promise of
the officials to re-employ the men as fast

that he would not make any trouble
