LONDON, July 1.-The al
lies supreme offensive began
at 1880 this morning with
simultaneous attacks by the
British and French.
Two hours after the as
saults began the British had
captured 10 miles Of German
forward trenches north Of
SOmme.
British statements declar-
ell the French gains were
equally satisfactory" Paris
has not announced the re-
suits.
The British attack along 20
mile front followed the most ter-
rifle four-day bombardment IN
the history of the world.
Firmly holding the captured
trenches the British are pressing
forward farther.
The official statement said:
"AT $50 WE HAD OCCUPIED
THE GERMAN FRONT LINE,
DIGGING IN BEHIND ROWS OF
GERMAN DEAD. THE BRITISH
CASUALTIES THUS FAR ARE
NOT HEAVY"
Many prisoners we're taken, bnt
it is impossible to obtain esti-
mates of the number of the
losses.
On the remainder Of the front
British raiding parties continued
to harrass the Germans, penetrat-
ing the defenses at several points.
This afternoon the war office
issued a warning that people
should not travel to the eOntin-
ent unless they had business of
the most serious sort
All persons going to the con-
tinent were warned that they must
undergo the strictest kiI1 of ex-
animation, with close search OF
their persons and baggage.
Describing this mornings at
tack, the Chronicle correspondent
wired:
"All the horizon beJond
where / stood was darkened
by the fumes from shells.
Not q minute passed without
the crash Of high explosives.

This Is true story, so

Weather Man Cover, from his

''I've got the best alibi that

look at It II the city doesn't

: "Rain In June? Say, some.

And such slanderous things
as have been said about me.

Then he fumbled among his
records and pointed to the fig
