Tn mass formation the Teu- tons threw attack after attack along tne line from 9 o clock in the mornins antil dark. and at the end of the da.. tfe French were everywhere holding their positions according to Paris, and the battlefield at points was CO., cred with German dead The Ger mans penetrated the northeastern part of Bouchavesnes, bu the French met them with the bayonet and dis lodged them. Four assaults at the Priez farm were repulsed by tn, French. On the British front the ln- element weather still holds the op- posing sides to artillery luels.
 Tn Russian and Galicia both Berlin and Vienna reports the repulse Of heavy Russian attacks in the Lutsk sector of Volhynia and sou ,heast ot Lemberg in Galica. Local successes fer the Russians in the Carpathians are con eded by the Teutonic allies, who say, however, that on the whole the Russian attacks in the regloi. were repulsed.

COSTOF HUNTING
GOESUP
Increase in Price of Hunting Material
VIII Make Sport Expensive.
(By United Press Association


Appleton, Wis, July 31.-Hunters
are going to be hard hit by the high
price in guns and ammunition when
the season opens in the autumn, ac-
cording to dealers in sporting goods.
Standard guns have increased from
S. to Sc in price in the last two years,
and shells have gone up at least Is
cents for a box of twenty five.
Manufacturers state that the in
creased price both in guns and shells
is due to the scarcity of explosives
brass and steel. It is also stated that
it is no longer profitable for manu-
facturers of arms to make sports
mems rifles and shotguns as the de-
mand for arms from Europe makes
it more profitable to give attention to
bigger orders.
