MEN BACK OF DECLARATION


 Ut is all very well to talk about the which it contains, but that was backed by men-men whd couldn't have indted it, men who couldn't have committed it to memory, men who couldn't have re- peated it, but men in whose lives was the incarnation of independence and whose spirit was breathed into that immortal document.
 Tt is because we had men who were willing to suffer, to die, to venture and to sacrifice, that we have the country and it is only by that spirit that we will ever be able to keep country. Quiet men, not noisy men, sensible men, straight men, honest men, depend- able men, real men-that is what we mean by Americanism. There is a vast amount of good judgment in this country, much more than the headlines of our newspapers seem to indicate. There is vast amount of thoughtfulness in this country. We are not rash people. We are not filled with spirit of militarism. We are not anxious to get into trouble, but if anybody thinks that the spirit of service and sacrifice Is lost and that we have not got the old sentiment of self respect, he doesn't understand the United States.
 We want patriotism and I don't think we are going to lose it very soon, al- though I do devoutly hope that out of the perils and difficulties of this time may come a new birth of the sentiment of all these troublesome conditions we have strength and of the import of our do- | ipS

Beauvraignes, and opposite Vingre. These expeditions brought back prisoners.
 "On the left bank of the River Mouse a movement of the enemy against one of our trenches on the southern slope of Dead Man Hill failed because of the French fire.
 "On the right bank of the river the fighting was spirited all night long. Northeast of the Thiaumont work there were six successive attacks, the last one accompanied with the use of flaming liquids. They were futile. The Germans were moved down by our curtains of fire and the fire of our infantry and they suffered heavy losses without being able to drive us from our positions all of which we retained.
 We made some progress last night on the southeastern boundary of the numin wood and we drove the enemy from a small trench located northeast of the battery at Damloup.

 ENTIRE BATTALION GIVES UP
 British Headquarters in France, July 4-(Via London, D. m.)-An entire bat talion of the One Hundred and Eighty fifth regiment of Prussian infantry re- cruited from the upper Rhen, surren- dered yesterday to the British near Fri court The prisoners numbered 20 officers and 500 men. The battalion had been as- signed for duty only a short time before to replace heavy casualties.
 The British fire was so heavy and the trench occupied by the Prussans was damaged so badly that the men refused to fight longer
 [ The situation this morning is regarded by the British as satisfactory.
 The announcement follows:
 The enemy reinforced by many bat talions drawn from other parts of the line continues to offer very stubborn re- sistance to us at all points. During the night there was heavy fighting in the vicinity of La Boisselle. Our troops fought with great gallantry against heavy attacks by the enemy. The enemy recap tured small portion of the defenses south of the village. Otherwise the situa- ton in this neighborhood is unchanged"
 Further south some progress was made during the night. We captured a wood further war material and prisoners.
 "On other portions of the front con- tinuous trench warfare activity was main- tained. Several raids were carried out In particular raids by the rifle brigade and the Sherwood roresters were espe- cially successful

 "One of the pleasantest incidents of my return to New York is to be sojournng with you in the shadow of the American flag. Wherever that flag floats there is a shrine. I don't care in what part of this favored land exercises in celebration of the anniversary of our independence are held, there is cause of rejoicing be- cause of the opportunities which only in- stitutions like ours can afford.

ALL ASSAULTS REFUSED


 Berlin, July 4-(Via London )-Heavy forces have been thrown into allied at tacks on the German lines, both north and south of the Somme in renewed at- tempts to advance, the war office an- nounces today. but all the assaults were repulsed with heavy losses.
 The official statement says:
 While the enemy did not repeat his attacks north of the Anere brook, he brought forward from Mametz strong forces between the Ancre and the Somme against the front from Thiepval to La Boisselle.
 'South of the Somme he brought strong forces against the line from Barleux to Belloy.
 His losses under our artillery and in- fantry fire correspond to the great num- Der of men employed.
 The attacks were repulsed everywhere. Bitter fighting took place for possess sion of Hardecourt, north of the Somme. French troops which penetrated our posi- tions there were thrown out again.
 Northwest of Ypres, west of La Bas- see and in the regions southwest of Lens, local enemy advances were repused
 "On the east bank of the Mouse fierce attacks against the hill batteries of Dam loup were easily repulsed.
 Repeated official French reports re- gardlng the recapture of the Thiaumont work and the Damloup battery are fla bles; also the information as to the num- bers of prisoners taken during the events on the Somme.

MORE THAN THRILLS WANTED

"The boy is going to thrill at the sight of the flag today just as he did 50 years or 100 years ago. We are all going to thrill when we hear the words of our national hymn and when we think of tBe long years of struggle and determination that have brought us to this hour. But we want something more. than thrills in our patriotism; we want thought, we want intelligence.
 What we need more than anything else is an intelligent comprehension of the ideals of democracy. Those ideals are that every man shall have a fair and equal chance according to his talents.
 My dream of America is America rep resented in public office by it's best men, men working entirely for the good of the republic and according to the laws and ordinances established by the people for the government of their conduct and not for their personal or political desires or ambitions; America working her in- stitutions as they were intended to be worked, with men whose sole object shall be to secure the end for which thesr offices were designed"
