BRITISH ATTACKS
 ON C0NTALMAIS0N
 DEADLY IN EFFECT

with British Army in the Field July 10, via London, July 11-In a midsummer afternoon in bright sun. light undimmed by feecy clouds and In air as clear as an artillery ob- server could ask. the British stormed Contalmaison. whose possession both sldes seem to regard as the tactical keystone of the present situation.
 Fragments of walls of an old cha teau still standing amid ruins con- st1tuted the last glimpse the Associat- ed Press correspondent had of the town before the attack.
 In the preparatory bombardment before the attack, British 15-inch shell was seen to tear away portion Of the walls which rose in a cloud of dust. For a given area, the ar- tlllery fire was the heaviest of any yet seen on this front. The Ger mans answered the British smelling with an immense volley of their own nre, placing a curtain in front of the town which was at times hidden from View of the British enveloping the town and also scattering shells near the front line.
 The British fire kept on increasing and spreading until from the Trones Wood, another hotly disputed point which already has become branehless and leafless trunks. to Ovillers and La Roiselle, the artillery duel ragged along the new front.
 At 4:40 o'clock as the British charg- ed there seemed to be peace in Con falmafson, surrounded by walls of shellhre. Soon after the British en- tered the town and after the German infantry was forced out the German guns took their turn at hammering the ruins and knocking off more sec tions of the walls of the old Chateau, while the British we're tessins the sec- ond line of German detenses beyond Contalmaison. -yff.
 The amount of ammunition the Brit fsh are continuing to expend is as- and. as spectacle. this af- tefnoon eelipses anything the Asso- eiated Presa correspondent has seen sinee the offense began. From one point he was able to see from the region of Albert to the, bend in the Somme in front of FeFenne the pres ent line of battle mapped aerQss the fields. woods. valleys and hills by shell hurets.
 Passing through the French lines, the correspondent noted that the French had some of the gaiety as- soeiated with the national tempera- ment instead of the grimness, which has. come to be attributed to them in this war.
 Sharp competition between two fla nous French army corps as they pressed forward to the capture of RiaeheS which placed the French on the Semme river with 2 six mile depth of gain, has set every Frenchman's eye afiashing. Every village taken has been razed by shellhre but there has been no complaint, only rejoicing. The Germans are eoHeentrating heavily between the Anere and the Somme, where there Is no river between them and the allies and evidently are de- termined tc dispute, step by step, the advance that endangers their main second line of defenaea

PRESIDENT WILSON'S RECORD.

five, new battle cruisers, of the most modern type, there is provision for submarines and all other warships deemed necessary, together with an experimental laboratory, a real avia- ton corps. and every other modern weapon of defense. e
 Az result of the work of the Dem- Iocratic Administration. there will ba complete military and naval prepar- edness, without militarism. There will be the maximum of efficiency, with the minimum of expense.
 1T the Republicans are to make pre- paredness an issue, they will have to be more specific than they have been in the past Even though they had done 1heir part, when they were in control of the government, and could now point to their own record, which they admittedly are unable to do, they would have to moro specific with rel spect to- the defects of the present Ad-
 ministration's program of prepared neas. .
 Industrial defense has been provfd- ed by President Wilson's Administra-
 ton, It will be found in the new BaHkdns and Currency law, in the Ad- ministratiop's tariff commission bill. In the antt-dumping bills and other measures behind which the whole IWeiEht of the Administration is being thrown The Democratic platform Will assure industrial defense ration al, reasonable. permanent The pres- ent naeon-wide prosperity, which seems to give such concern to the Re- publican party, will be amply safe guarded, both with respect to domes- tic business and exports, without fur ther agitation. upheavaI or unoe,.- ta1nty 1T President Wilson and the Democratic, party are retained in pow CT.
 The present measures of industrial and m1litay and naval safety will con stitute permanent policy for the nftton, unless new men seeking a re, turn to power withint issues are given the opportunity to overturn the safe and constructive work that has been done. This is no time for "swapnine horses in the middle of the streay,, ;, It is no time for the perponaIIv ar,- bilious to thrust themselves between constructive achievements and the people. It Is no time for domestic upheaval What has been done in tha past three years has withstood the test of world cataclysm. If the pres- ent Administration has not eradicat.d special privilege. and builded upon the iirmer foundation of equal opportun- ity, the United States would not have weathe-ed the storm and reaped the benefits of an unprecedented pros- perity. Americanism is written large in the Democratic Natform. Under that heading are listed the achievements of Woodrow Wilson for America. Un- der it is given the record of what Ias been done, by the Administration for financial, industrial, military and na- val security. If the public is to be promised by the Republican party four years of oveturning, uprooting and uncertainty. the public must be shown definite proofs of what bene- fits will be conferred by such a course at such . time.
