German Statement.

Berlin, July 2O.-The official state
ment issued today says:
Between the sea and the Ancre there
have been repeated vigorous hring ana
patrol enterprises.
Considerable British forces attacked
our positions north and northwest OF
Fromelles. They were repulsed. Wher-
ever they succeeded in penetrating our
trenches they were elected by counter
attacks. We captured more than 300
prisoners. among them some officers.
On both sides of the Somme renewed
fighting of a severe character is pro-
crossing. North of the river, after
a strong attack, the British again
penetrated Longueyal and the Delville
Farm. The enemy had withdrawn be-
fore our counter attacks. He is still
holding a portion of the village and
the farm.
Early this morning, on the whole
front from the Foureaux Wood TO the
Somme, Anglo-F rench attacks began.
The first strong assault was broken.
South of the river, in the afternoon,
the French twice attacked unsuccess-
fully in the district of Belloy, and
this morning in the sector Of Estrees
and Soyecourt. Three attacks were
ssnguinarily repulsed. Also, in a
salient trench near Soyecourt, the en-
envy was repulsed in bayonet fighting.
The enemy artillery is developing the
greatest strength on both banks of
the Somme.

PROHIBITION GAINING
GROUND IN ENGLAND
Evidence Grows That Drink
Habit Shows No Decrease.

London, July 2O.-There is sccumu-
lnting evidence that the consumption
Of alcohol, despite the efforts of the
Board of Liquor Control, has dimin-
ished but little, if at all, and that it is
still seriously interfering with war
work and other vital industries.
AS result there has been a greatly
increased demand for prohibition. TIL,
most striking manifestation in this re-
spect has been the formation of the
strength of Britain" movement, which
was organized by business men, who
heretofore have not been connected
with temperance work. They will soon
present to Parliament a memorial de-
handing a suspension of the liquor
traffic during the war.
The signatories include representa-
tives of the Order Of Merit, the Privy
Council. Parliament, the army and navy,
universities, great shipbuilding com
panies. muntion workers, and business
firms, and men eminent in science and
art

EXPLAINS GROWING
BRITISH EXPENSES
Mckenna Tells of Exhaustion of
Borrowing Powers.

London. July 20.-Explaining the in
crease in the government rate of ex-
penditure to f6,0OO.OO0 daily, Reginald
McKenna, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
said in the House of Commons to-day
that the figure related to the total out
goings and not TO war expenditures
alone
The unforeseen and unforeseeable
causes which had raised the rate of ex-
penditures, added the Chancellor, we're
mainly the rate at which American
securities had been sold TO the gov
eminent to regulate American exchange
and the rate at which advances made
Allies and Dominions of Great Britain
were drawn upon. The concurrence of
these two causes had led TO the exhaus-
ton of his borrowing powers earlier
than was anticipated.
Asked whether the purchase of
American securities and loans 10 Allies
could rightly be called expenditures.
Mr.. McKenna answered that he was ex-
planning why his borrowing powers
had been exhausted earlier than he
anticipated. He had exercised those
powers TO meet the issue. As 10
whether that could possibly be consid-
cred expenditure he was not immedi-
ately concerned. He had 70 meet the
issues and accordingly to borrow the
means. He sincerely hoped that the
expenditure would revert 70 what he
preferred 20 regard as the normal

AVALANCHE OF ROCKS
HALTS ITALIAN ATTACK
Austrians Hold Lines on Noun
tain Sides.

Paris, July 20.-Hurling stones down
the mountain sides, the Austrians re-
pulsed three strong Italian attacks near
Rorcola Pass, the official statement is
sued Yesterday at Vienna reports.
Despite the handicap of inclement
weather, the Italians are continuing
their pressure in the Trentino, and
have scored advances in some sectors,
according to the Italian official state
ment.
The Austrian statement says:
After heavy artillery preparation,
strong Italian forces attacked three
times our positions south and east of
Borcola Pass. They were repulsed
with hand grenades, machine guns and
avalanches Of stones.
There was heavy artillery fighting.
At Fella Raibler we captured machine
gun. Jarvis was shelled by the en-
envy"
The Italian communication reads:
"Persistently bad weather has in
terfered with the activity Of our troops
and artillery, especially in the noun
tains. Infantry actions continue, how
ever, and we made some progress near
the Borcola Pass.
"In the Brenta Valley we shelled
railway station at Marter, where the
station buildings and troop train
were hit.
AT the head of the Seisera Valley,
at Fella, during the afternoon of July
IS, we made brilliant raid east of

the development Of the Allied plans,

that they were already in occupation

Meanwhile the Australians, on two
mile front in the Armentieres- Neuve
Chapelle region. took part in the big
gest trench raid ever undertaken, its
extent making it a new departure.
After cutting the wire by shellhre they
rushed the German trenches, dong
what damage they could by bombing
and hand-to hand fighting before re-
firing 10 their own trenches.
In the woods and the fields between
the front and the village of Guillemont
the Germans, massing fresh forces
brought from Nerdun since their who're
tactical situation in the Somme region
became endangered, resisted the Brit
ish with the savage determination not
to yield further high ground, which is
nothing more than knolls and rolling

whipped by bullets. whose loss leaves

The Germans are still bringing up
guns, presumably from Verdun, and
from the high woods to the Somme all
dav they seemed to be answering the
preponderant British fire with all the
power they had.
Among the British troops recently
engaged are some units Of the Ban
tams,' England's little men, five feet
three inches and under in height, whom
Lord Kitchener enlisted in special bat
talions. They went in with all the
courage and pride Of corps Of six
foot guardsmen. and the audacity Of
the bantam cock, which is their symbol.
When it comes to stalking a machine
gun or sn:ping from a she'll crater
they are less exposed than men Of ordi-
nary height and, as they say, bullet
they fire goes as far and is as deadly
as one from a giants rifle.
