(By Associated Press. }

London, Aug. 1.-THE French
today are busily preparing for a
German counter-attack in the Somme
region where they scored important
sains along the front of nearly three
miles, thereby weakening the Ger
mans hold on Maurepas and Guille-
mont, which blocks an allied ad-
vance on the important railway CEN
ter of Peronne. The British also
announce advances west and south
west Of Guillemont. Already there
is intense artillery activity in that
section and further evidence of an
increased stiffening of the Teutonic
resistance in Galicia is shown in
Russian announcement of renewed
Austro-German counter attacks,
which the Russians claim they re-
pulsed The Russians also announce
a capture of seventy-fve hundred
more men. Bulgaria reports re-
pulse of two allied attacks near Lake
Doiren in the Balkans where activ-

FOREST FIRES IN GREECE
WORRY QUEEN SOPHIE
(By Associated Press.)

Athens, Aug. 1.-THE immense
forest fires that have swept Greece
during the past few weeks have
been a source of particular chagrin
to Queen Sophie. for the Queen of
the Hellenes has been the leading
figure in, the conservation move
ment in Greece. The barren noun
tains that three thousand years ago
were clad with verdure have been a
text for the Queen in her crusade
to teach the modern Greeks the need
Of preservation OF the woods and the
streams. Each year Queen Sophie
plants tree with her own hands as
an example to the women of Greece.
But this year she had no luck, for
during the night following this Ar
Dor Day ceremony a wandering shep-
herd passed with his flock and the
newly planted tree was ignobly eat
en- by the sheep.
