British Army Rejoices
Over Fricourt Capture;
Many Tales of Heroism

British Headquarters in France. July
z, via London, July 3.-There is re-
Jolclng in the British army at the
close of the second day of the battle of
the Somme over the taking of Fri
court, which the capture of Mametz
ana Montauban yesterday left as a
sharp German salient. The British
guns surrounded it with curtains of
nre and after a heavy pounding the
British troops rushed through the
debris, taking the survivors prisoner at
o'clock this afternoon.
Later they stormed Fricourt wood
and from the neighboring. hill it could
be seen that the Germans as they were
forced from the wood were holding up
their hands in surrender
included in the same panorama was
the bombardment of Lo BoisseIle, fol-
lowed by British infantry attack
When 1t faced the machine guns,
.y Whlcn the artillery had not reached,
the line advanced unwaveringly into
tne German positions and was lost to
view. The possession of Fricourt and
the wood means command of the
ground toward Bapaume, and the Ger
man guns, which had been hidden in
the valleys of the front, have now
peen disclosed to the British observers
and must withdraw or be put out of
action.
Fight With Machine Guns
North of the Ancrc the day was
quiet except for vicious in-and-out
nghting of the sections of the first line
German trenches held by the British
Here the Germans in great force in
the day attack kept to their dugouts
forty feet deep, during the lombard
ment. They then rushed out with ma
chine guns to receive the British ad-
vance. Ulster troops drove through
the ridge north of Thiepval most gal
lantly but were forced to retire before
the fire of the machine guns.
The northern attacks Yesterday
served as diversion which led to the
success of Fricourt to-day and Mon
tauban the previous day. Everywhere
the German machine guns were nu-
merous and the German machine gun
ners fought to the death as the British
closed in on them. A German counter
attack at Montauban yesterday was
moved down by the British machine
guns.
The weather was fair and hot to-
day, merciful to wounded. There are
many tales of heroism. Scotch pipers
played their regiments to the charge.
A private of IS, when all the officers
of his company had been killed, came
on and captured q machine gun.
Many German dead are lying on the
ground taken by the British at Mon
tauban and Mametz and the British
litter bearers were busy to-day bring
ing the German wounded.

u. S. CaUalrymen Make
Two FruitIess Incursions
Into Mexico After Bands

Fort Hancock. Texas, July 2. -
American cavalry made two fruitless
incursions into Mexico late Saturday
and early to-day, returning late TO-DAY
without having caught sight of the
Mexican bandits whose trail they had
followed.
The first dash across the Rio Grande
was made just west of here late Sat
urday after news had been received
that band of ten robbers from south
of the line had run off with three
horses from ranch near Old Fort
Hancock.
The troops made a new start. this
time striking into Mexico to the east
of the fort. Their goal was a valley
supposed to be the rendezvous of A
band who recently had routed a small
force of the de facto troops. Captain
Elting held two troops in reserve at

Start Whipping Guadsmen
Into Shape For Service

San Antonio, Tex, July 3.-Com-
manding officers of National Guards
men at border stations to-day began
whipping their men into shape for
hard service.
Colonel Sandborn, of the First IL
linois. at Fort Sam Houston, began
drilling his men and it was expected
that in another day or two every
member of the Second brigade of IL
linois troops now in camp here would
be doing long hours of routine drill.
Although eager to convert the
guardsmen into seasoned troops as
quickly as possible, army officers,
realizing the danger of overworking
the men in the blazing heat, will not
insist upon crowding them. Almost
all the men who have been brought
to the frontier are in excellent physical
shape, but great majority of them
are soft and unaccustomed to the
climate.

North of the river Ancre the

The fighting is bitter along the
whole British front, being notably so
at La Boisselle, northeast of Fri

More than 1000 prisoners have
