GERMANS CONFIDENT
THEY CAN HOLD LINES

Headquarters of the German Army
on the Somme, July 2S.-The French
and British. giving themselves no rest,
are continuing their efforts TO widen
the sacklike position north and south
of the Somme, wherein they are now
penned on three sides by German
armies
Both German officers and men are
confident OF their ability to hold their
own and are aided by the most pow
erful aggregation of artillery which
Germany has yet accumulated in any
single battle theater.
Shortly after the correspondents
left the battlefield an artillery duel
of violent proportions signaliZed the
renewal of the struggle.
From the intensity of the lombard
ment it was evident the main efforts
of the allies again would be made on
the line from Pozieres to Hardecourt
the sector which was the scene of
such bitter fighting from July 30 to
July %.
The bombardment continued with
increasing intensity the whole after
noon.
Toward evening an attack was made
in strong force by a British division
which was headed by picked troops
and bomb throwers.
The attackers were able to estab-
lish a foothold in the German lines,
but later were driven out by a Ger
man counter attack. The British also
succeeded in entering temporarily
the German trench system in the vi
cinity of Longueval and Guillemont,
but here also were finally expelled.

On recent occasion in the French

single solitary voice was raised to

AGED MAN ADMITS MURDER
Confesses Burning Wife's Body to
Hide His Crime.

Glendale. ~ d., July 2S.-That he
choked his wife to death after a quar-
rel and then sought to cover the evil
dence Of his crime by burning her
body in their home. is the substance
of signed confession the police say
Nicholas Schon, sixty-four years old,

that his wife had been killed by an ex-
