San Antonio, Texas. July 3.-The Ma

are being whipped into shape for hard
service. Although eager TO convert the
.guardsmen into seasoned troops as quick
ly as possible, the officers realize the
danger OF overworking them and will
not crowd them too much Almost all
the men are in excellent physical shape,
but great majority of them are soft

portance. Four of the towns captured by
the French are only seven miles west OF

German center at Cologne TO the Ger

Already the French forces threaten Pc

an indispensable artery for German rein

The speed OF the advance of the allied
troops is taken as showing that the per-
fection of artillery preparations exceeded
anything yet done in the destruction of
field works. Infantrymen of both allied
armies leaped out of the trenches at the
word of command with cires of Joy, with

BRITISH FIGHTING
MOST STUBBORNLY
Every Known Means of Defense Has
Been Brought Into Action--Loss cf
Many Balloons Has Apparently
Crippled the Germans.

British headquarters in France, via
London, July 3.--The close of the first
days offensive over the longest front the
entente allies have attempted, and the
most extensive action of the war for
the British found both the British and
French consolidating their gains.
South of the Ancre river, where the
infantry swept forward, Curlu was CAP.
tured by the French and Mountauban
and Mametz were taken by the British
with almost unbroken success, though
against heavy curtains OF fire and de-
lays due to stubborn resistance at some
points, and particularly for the British
from a German trench called dancing al.
ley"
Word came back that the destruction
by artillery OF the first line trench was
so complete that one British battalion
occupied it with the loss of a single man.
The Germans in their defensive tactics
in many instances left the first line
trench lightly held and then shelled it
when occupied by the British but the
British carried on the fight to the second
line.
The Germans in large forces fought
tiercely north of the Ancre. At CONNIE
court and Beaumont Hamel there was
terrible complicated intensity of action,
with every method of destruction-like
Nerdun with Germans as defensive.
When the attack was made in the
morning the mist in the valleys made it
difficult for the infantry units to keep
in touch with each other and the gun
ners to follow their advance but a bril-
liant sunshine continued through the day
with clear air and summer heat.
Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock the
village of Thiepval was still being des
perately held by the Germans. The place
was visible to the observer before the
British opened another artillery attack
which seemed to be churning it to dust,
making it impossible for any human be-
ing TO survive even in the strongest re-
doubt.
So swift is the transport that some
British wounded may already be in Lon
don.
The destruction of six German sau-
sage shaped observation balloons by Brit
ish airmen early last We * evidently was
serious loss as none has been replaced.
1t was noticeable that the British aero
planes over the battlefield greatly out
numbered the German machines.
Indignation was expressed by both the
British and the French stats over the
statement in yesterdays German wire
less communication that a British air
raid over Lille had bombed the Church |
of St.-Sayeur. The statement was Tree
y branded by the officers as lie. Lille,
1T was pointed out has been within reac0
OF the British heavy guns for q year
without a bombardment and that the ell
tente allied machines bombarded only /
railway stations and military point and

AUTO SLID OVER BANK.
In Attempting to Turn Out for Team on
Narrow Road

Buick touring car. owned and oper-
ated by Richard A. Coppings OF East
Montpelier, went over bank near the
highway just east of the city dump or
Brook street Sunday afternoon at 4
o'clock Mr.. Coppings, Louis Mayo and
a man named Bushey, the latter two oc-
Icupying the rear seat, escaped injury,
but little Ruth Mayo daughter of the
driver, sustained a painful cut on the
arm. The car was damaged to the eX
tent of a shattered windshield and top
and a broken running board. This morn
ing the machine was hoisted from the
ravine and towed to a Jefferson street
garage for repairs.
Mr.. Coppings states that his party
was returning home when they met a
team owned by Arthur Wells of East
Montpelier. In the carriage a small boy
was driving and by his side sat little
girl. In turning TO avoid an encounter
with the team the operator of the car
drove his machine too near the ravine,
on account of the narrow highway al
that point. with the result that the auto
slid over the brink. None of the passen
gers jumped and the progress of the ear
down the slope was arrested by tree.
The little girl is believed to have re-
ceived cut on the arm from falling
pieces OF glass. The abrasion was ban |
daged and the members of the party were |
taken home in another car, after assist |
ance had been summoned from a garage |
here in the city. The car had a fall of /
eight feet and had it not been for the 1
tree the consequence probably would
have meen more serious.

RISE In QUALITY
OF WOMEN'S GOLF

New York, Oct. 1s.-women's golf is too
often passed by with short paragraphs.
The uncommon rise in the quality of
their game, as shown by the play in
the championship this year, surely en-
titles them to more than an article con-
cerning the years development in the
sport. The complexion of women's quali-
flying lists varies greatly from year to
year. For instance. only ten of the 1916
qualifers were in the first 80 in 1913 and
only eight qualified in 1914 at Nassau,
while but five were in the match play
division in 1913
Going back still farther, we discover
that seven Of the 1916 match players
qualified at the Essex County Country
Club at Manchester in 1912, but only four
Of the present-day number came through
successfully the year previous. In this
respect the women golfers are far diff
ferent from the men, which Is all the
more surprising, in a measure because
It is usually much easier just before the
women's big event to select the ones
who are most likely to 1At in the select
