Biggest
Cain Of
Months

LONDON, July 14.-Brit.
ish troops broke the German
line along a four-mile front
at dawn today, smashing
terrific blow and sweeping
into the villages Of Longeu-
val and Bazentine Legrand
clear to Trones wood.
They advanced more than a
mile.
The gain was the greatest since
the opening of the great assault
13 days ago.
Early bulletins indicated one OF
the greatest battles of the allied
offensive is being .waged north
east of Albert. Gen. Haig made
this report:
I'VE attacked the enemy's Sec
ond system of defense and broke
their positions on a four-mile
front, capturing strongly defend
ell localities. Heavy fighting
continues"
Special dispatches from head
quarters announced the capture
of the villages.
The blow was struck In the
very sector where the Germans
had assembled their heaviest re-
Inducements.
The British advance is in the
direction of Bapaume, the i'm
mediate objective.

Mrs. Schoenbeck was on hcr

At the Milwaukee track, which
crosses the highway diagonally
the auto struck the tracks, which
are somewhat higher than the

The decision is a victory for
the civil service board. which has
contended for four years that de-
tectives, sergeants and captains
of police were civil service Off
GERS.
Harmon today showed by
lengthy Interpretation of the law
that the only man on the Taco
ma police department who Is ex-
empt from civil service is the
chief. This office was abolished
temporarily last fall, when the
council was cutting down NUM-
cipal expense.
This is the most perplexing
situation that ever faced" de-
clared Petit today.
Many of the men who are or
dered reduced in rank are too old
to take examinations for promo
ton. Other men on the depart
ment who might be able to pass
are not suited for the work.
IF l call for examinations for
detective captain, II means that
all applicants must be under 80
years df age, and / would get
some green man, possibly not
even in sympathy with my adj
ministration."
Petit explained that he made
non-civil service promotions this
spring for the reason that there
were no eligible men on the civil
service lists.
The civil service board adver-
tised examinations for promotion
to the positions of captain. SER
geant and detective in June. but
all of the police officers eligible
to promotion refused to take the
examination. They contended
that they were legally appointed.
Clerk Ellsworth of the civil
service board today said that he
would repeat the call for promo
ton exams in the near future.
Immediate reductions in rank
must be made, in conformity with
Judge HiWmon's ruling, or the
police officers affected will not
be permitted to draw salary for
their work.

NOT FOR DRILL
But to Protect the Country, Is
Why the National Guard
is Kept on Border.
u1 ASSoe,ArIp rNuSb,

WASHINGTON July 26,-ln reply
to a complain from Mrs. Henry Smith,
Of Winamac. Ind, who has son in
the national guard, President Wilson
wrote Wednesday that the guard was
kept on the Mexican border to protect
the country not for drill, and that the
service the men were performing was
an honor to them and necessity to
the United States
The president referred to the pre-
caution OF the war department to make
the border camps safe against the dis
ease and said the health record Of both
regulars and guardsmen was except
ionally good. His letter was made
public because many communications
similar to that of Mrs. Smith are be-
ing received and to answer criticism
that the men Of the national guard are
not being properly cared for.

Most Stubborn Fighting Occurs
in the Streets of the Cap
tured Village.
EVERY HOUSE FOUGHT FOR
Territorial Troops Of the Brit
iSh Make Farther Advance
West OF the Village.

LONDON July 26.-The village OF
Pozieres has been completely captured
by the British, according TO an official
announcement made Wednesday by the
war Office
The text of the statement follows:
THE whole village of Po2ieres is
now in our hands. West of the village
our territorial troops made further
advance and captured two strong
trenches and number of prisoners
Including five officers. Elsewhere on
the battle front there is no change
Highest Point Seized.
The capture of Pozieres in the
somme region gives the British troops
domination of the highest point over
looking the plateau on which the Ger
man line extends to the eastward.
Some Of the most stubborn fighting
in the recent British offensive has oc-
CURED in the streets of this village,
which the Germans had fortified until
II became one of the strongest points
of their line.
Severe Counter Attacks.
Every house had to be fought for
and taken separately and the British
after obtaining possession Of a con-
siderable portion OF the village were
subjected to severe counter attacks,
which they withstood successfully for
several days and then in turn again
seized the initiative until the whole
place fell before their onslaughts.
The German general staff regarded
the possession Of Pozteres OF such i'm
portance that 1t even brought reen-
forcements from troops which had
been lighting in the Verdun sector and
these held tenaciously TO part OF the
village until driven out or captured
in the hand to hand fighting.
