SUSTAINED FIGHTING
 ON ALL FRONTS
271,620 Prisoners Taken on East Front,
 22,ooo on Somme.

London, July il, 1O.52 p. m. - This was another good day for the allies who are making d steady advance on all fronts. A striking illustration of the difference in the relative positions of the allies and TeutOnic forces and of the remarkable change from the monotonous defensive trench warfare which characterized the allied oper- attons for so many weary months, un- til the present summer, is found in the number of prisoners and guns taken. These for the battle of the Somme amount to 22. 900 prisoners and 1O4 guns captured from the Germans, while the official figures for the Rus General Brusiloffs drive to the tenth Hay of July are 271,62 prisoners, 312 guns and 1866 machine guns.
 Fierce Fighting at ContaImaison.
 Today's news is of sustained and heavy fighting on almost all the fronts, the allies making consistent progress, with only occasional set backs. The British have finally cap tured the f1erCely contested town of Contamination after desperate day and night fighting and are now holding the town against all the German coun- .er-attacks.
 The importance the Germans have attached to this position may be meas lred by the fact that they recently threw the Prussian Guards into the aghtingaat this point,

195 NEW CASES
 OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Intense Heat Adds to Difficulties of
 Health Department.

New York, July II. - Intense heat today added to the burdens of the health authorities in their fight to check the spread of infantile paralysis which took toll of 32 in the twenty four hours ending at 10 a. m. The de- pressing temperature, it was explain ed, tends to reduce the physical resis- tance of the child against possible Contagion.
 Federal and city health officials were optimistic tonight, despite the fact that 195 new cases had been reported, on the ground that the cooperative work of the various city departments has resulted in preventing the epi- demic from spreading geographically.

Cole Not ResponsibIe for Delays.


 Hartford, Conn, July 11-Gov Hol- comb said today that a great injustice was done Adjutant Gen. George M. Cole in holding him responsible for any delay in moving Connecticut troops He said Gen. Cole was in no way responsible and could not have prevented the conditions which arise
 T have been at Mantle and I have seen the work Gen. Cole is doing" said the governor. ''He is working hard all the time and he takes very little rest. He certainly does not de- serve the criticism that has been made of him.
 The attention of Gov. Holcomb was called to comments made on the de- lay in paying Connecticut troops the money which was due them from the state for ten days or so. Gov. HOl- comb said the sole reason was that the adjutant general had no data on which to make up the roll of the diff ferent companies. The cOmpany's books were in the possession of the company commanders and until the adjutant general had received state ments showing how much was due each man he did not know the amount to pay.
 "The money Of the state cannot be thrown around without knowing where if is going and for what it is expended" said Gov HOlcOmb. Gov. HOlCOmb said the captains of the seV- eraI companies had no opportunity to make up their payrOUs before they left and they took the books with them.

CLAYTON IN GERMANY
Weekly Service Will be Possible,
 When Sister Ships Completed.

Berlin, July il, 2:30 p. m., via Lon don. July 12-The opening of direct connections between Germany and the United States by the submarine mer- chantnnan Deutschland has occasion ed great jubilation and enthusiasm among Germans, but no one is more eIated han Alfred Lohmann, ex-pres- ident of the Bremen chamber Of commerce and the originator Of an underwater service.
 To the Associated Press Herr Loh- mann said today that the Deutschland was only the first of a fleet of sub marine freighters and that a regular transatlantic service with frequent sailings would soon be in operation.
 A second boat, named the Bremen, he added, is about to start for America with a cargo and a number of sister ships are rapidly approach ing conpleitnon. It is understood that the number of boats will soon be ad- euuate for the establishment Of weekly service.
 "Remember," said Herr Lohmann, "tha the Deutschland was entirely lnarmed; she carried no torpedo t11bes. no cannon and no weapons Of offence or defence of any kind"
 Under these circumstances, he con- tended, there is nothing to prevent the Deutschland, exclusively a mer- chantman, from remaining as long as she pleases in a neutral harbor and loading a cargo, fuel and supplies, free from the restrictions which pre- vent warships from entering neutral port except under stress or remaining over twenty-fOur hours.
