their way to the Big Bend district of
Texas. They said they were forced
by hunger to attack the train, which
they did not expect to carry a mill

KAISER URGES FAITH
DECLARES GERMANS MUST Ac-

War Lord Requests Army chapIains to
Tell Soldiers TO Keep Firm
Reliance.

Amsterdam. July 20.-The speech the
German emperor recently made to a
gathering of army ehaplains at main
headquarters is reported in the Vos-
sische Zeitung by Chaplain Doctor OFT.
1T is time of sitting" said the
emperor. "The world war is separat-
ing the char from the wheat. You
gentlemen have the task of teaching
the German nation to take things seri-
ously and TO accept the present as a
time of trial. 1t is important TO under
stand that life is a trial. We need
practical Christianity to bring our
lives into harmony with the person
atty of our Lord. We must live SIM
ply according to his acts and deeds
Gentlemen. how fascinating and
marvelously manifold is his person
alityl We must study it thoroughly;
we must live with the Lord.
Suppose Christ entered It this mo-
ment through yonder door. Could we
look into his face? Going to church
once a week is not enough. We must
make him the ideal of our practical
life; we must determine to live accord
ing to his teaching. You must bring
sharply before us the vision of God,
who, perhaps, as the Judge is now
passing through the world. You must
represent him and show him to u.s."
The emperor then dwelt on what he
said he regarded as one of the most
dangerous tendencies of the time-one
which might deprive the German ma
ton Of the spiritual benefit of the
war-the tendency to find fault. to
complain, to criticize.
Il often ponder how this tendency
can be cured" he said. Certainly
not by repression or laws or orders.
The remedy cannot come from outside
of us. 1t must come from within.
There must be peace in our hearts;
then we will be strengthened for bad
days, and, what is more difficult, for
good days."

Norfolk Friday.

Baltimore, July 20.-Friday will
see the German submarine Deutsch-
land in Norfolk. This fact became
known here when it was definitely
learned the big submarine would in
all probability slip from her present
mooring here late tonight or early Fri
day and proceed to Norfolk.
At the latter port the vessel will
take on some other freight, and make
a dash for the sea the early part of
next week, after the Bremen, her
sister ship, shall have passed in and
spoken her. Captain Koenig win not
start on his return trip until he has
consulted with the master of the Bre-
men, who will give him necessary in
formation relative to the positions of
any hostile war vessels which may be
lying in wait for him.
The Bremen win be in Baltimore
the early part of next week, and is
said to carry, besides her valuable
cargo of drugs and medicines, many
valuable communications for the rep
resentatives of the German govern
ment here and in Washington.
That there is little fear on the part
of the crew of the Deutschland that
the ship will not be able to get out
without being taken by allied war
ships is evident.

BRITISH RECAPTURE
ALL LOST GROUND
Smashing Drive Wins Back the
DeIviIIe Woods.
GERMAN ATTACK is STOPPED
Raiu Hurls Huge Forces into Positions
Retaken by Teuton Reserves-vil-
lage Streets Filled With
Dead and Wounded.

London, July 20-The British have
recaptured practically all the ground
lost in the spectacular German on
slaught which took Longueval and the
Delville wood from General Haig's
forces. One of the most terrific
single engagements of the war is still
raging on the outskirts of the village
and forest, with hand-to-hand fighting
alternating with the whitening fire of
machine gun detachments and the
crash of high explosive shells on both
TANKS.
The dead and wounded lie in heaps
in the ruins of the village and wood,
while reserves from both sides are be-
ing rushed into the fray with no time
TO care for those who have fallen.
Out of the clouds of smoke and fire
the wounded are crawling under The
feet of the charging regiments, and
though the British are moving slowly
ahead the outcome of the battle may
still be in doubt.
New Teuton Attack Stopped.
With this engagement taxing the
British strength almost to its limit
and the recent German reserves NOV
ing forward in wave after wave, only
to be thrown back on the bayonets
of the British, General Won Falken-
hayn attempted an extension of the
fighting front by massing huge force
for a drive on the important strategic
position of Waterloo farm, the scene
of a spectacular British advance three
days ago, but the British fire, accord
ing to the night statement from Gen
eral Haig has frustrated this move
ment and destroyed the German for
nation.
The German onslaught which wrest-
ed Longueval and DeIville wood from
the British was one of the most des-
perate and sanguinary clashes Of all
the fighting in the Picardy region, ac-
cording to official and unofficial adj
vices.
Gloom in London.
That the Germans had succeeded in
their object and stormed both the viii
lage and wood, flattening the peak of
the British salient at its point of fur
thest advance was not disclosed until
the official report came from Berlin.
Gloom settled over London for a
moment with this announcement and
became darker as a report from Gen
eral Haig confirmed the German state
ment in part. A later report, how
ever, has lifted this cloud and Lon
don is again rejoicing, though the
news that the battle is still going on
leaves some fear that it's tide may
again turn against the British.
Comparative calm in the meanwhile
is revealed on the Plcardy front south
of the Somme, where the report from
Paris mentions only minor successes.
On the Verdun front, according to
Paris, there are no changes of i'm
portance.

lean side.
Ell Paso, Tex, July 2O.-Mexican
snipers are so active along the border
that trip on the American bank of
the Rio Grande is nothing short of
a risky adventure and any traveller
going there offers himself as target
for the sharpshooters hidden in the
hills and mesquite brush on the other
side.
For several days American sentries
have been posted at intervals to warn
persons to seek a trail not so inviting
ly within rifle range Today these
guards were doubled and travellers abb
solutely forbidden to approach the
river bank.
Shippers Are Busy.
During the night snlpers took pot
shots at whatever lights showed on
the American side. In the morning
they We're still at it. and the little jets
of sand kicked up by their bullets at
tested their activity.
In the neighborhood of the smelter
camp, where the last American out
post guard stopped all automobiles
and searched them for arms, the sol
diers exchanged shots during the night
and early morning with the hidden
marksmen on the Mexican side.
Villa Still Active.
New developments seem certain
with every fresh report from the
neighborhood of Parral and Jiminez,
where villa is doing his best to up
set the Carranza government, and ap-
parently succeeding. Latest re-
ports place him within ten miles of
Parral and on his way to chihuahua
City. Some of his advance guards are
already north of Chihuahua, and cut
ting up CaTanza detachments.
Political parties are also doing their
bit toward embarrassing the Carran-
zistas. The liberalists have stolen
march on their equally ambitious
rivals by placing on their "slate" a
number of officials who served under
Madero. Thus they hope to propitiate
Villa, who has never swerved from
the cause of his dead leader.
Washington, July 20-Acting Sec
rotary of State Polk emphatically de-
MED that Consul General Rodgers in
Mexico City has been authorized to in
form the Carranza government that
the United States troops would be
gradually withdrawn from Mexico. A
Mexico City dispatch stated that
Rodgers had made such a statement
to the de facto authorities. At the
war department it was stated that no
orders of any kind relating to with
drawing the troops have been sent to
