The new order-in-council stipulates

that their cargoes are not ultimately
destined for enemy countries to avoid
seizure.
The principle Of continuous voy-
age and ultimate destination will ap-
ply to contraband In ships passing the

PRESIDENT TALKS ON UNSELF|
Occasion Was Annual Ban quet of Association of
 POstmasters

Washington, July 20.-The philosophy of his political faith, which he termed service and unselishness," was delin- eated by President Wilson tonight in an address to about 700 postmasters. vir- tually all his own appointees, at the an- nual banquet of the National Associat tion of Presidential Postmasters. He also touched upon the subject of peace. but only to say that "in no other country are the processes of peace so free to move."
 Introduced by Postmaster Selph of St. Louis presiding, as the protector of American citizenship" the President was given an ovation lasting more than five minutes In prefacing his remarks, he said he understood his auditors were vir- tually all democrats and that, therefore. he was more free to say certain things than he might otherwise have been.
 AS l look about upon you" the Pres ident said, 'I gather many of the impressions of the last three years. Be- cause many serious things have occurred and the thing I have been most interested in is organizing this government for serv- ice of the country.
 Most of you, am told if not all of you, bear commissions from the present administration That sets me free to say some things that I might not other wise"
 When he started a sentence a moment later with If you're all democrats" he was drowned out by cries of We arei We are!''
 There's only one way of holding the confidence of the American public,'' the President resumed, "and that is by de- serving it, and I know by my inter- course with the Postmaster General his single object has been to make the post office of more service to the people of the United States than 1t has ever been before.
 T have no interest in the political party except as an instrument of achievement. cannot imagine how a man can be in- terested in a party that hasn't aspira- tion and a programme to be worked out.

forces brought from Verdun since their
 whole tactical situation in the Somme region became endangered, resisted the
 British with the savage determination not to yield further high ground, which is nothing more than knolls and rolling farm lands narrowed by shells and whipped by bullets, whose loss leaves command of the position to the British. The Germans are still bringing up guns, presumably from Verdun, and from these woods to the Somme all day they seemed to be answering the preponderant British fire with all the power they had.
 Among the British troops recently en- gagged are some units of the "Bantams," Epgland's little men, five feet three inches in height and under whom Lord They went in with all the courage and pride of corps of six-foot guardsmen. When it comes to stalking a machine gun or snping from a shell crater, they are less exposed than men of ordinary height.
 A captured diary from the One Hun dred and Ninetieth regiment of the One Hundred and Eighty-fifth German divi- sion, which was rushed from the Cham pagne to the Somme, July 2, shows that out of HOO men in one battalion 12O are left and less than half the men of the other two battalions. The writer com plains that all this loss was suffered with out the men really having ever been en- gagged face to face with the English, they always having been caught by a concen- tra tion of shell fire or by flank infantry attacks.

TEUTONS ARE HELD

Petrograd, July 20,-(Via London. At tempts by Teutonic forces to advance against the Russians in the region of the river Stokhod in Yolhynia have been re- pulsed, the war office announced today. Operations in Galicia are being notably affected by the overflow of the river Dneister, which is flooding large areas.
 The official statement on operations along the western front says:
 On July IS, + enemy aeroplanes made raid on the station at Zamiren, north east of Baranovichi. Twenty-seven bombs were thrown upon the hospital and laz- aretto. Three persons on the medical staff were killed and five other men in- jured. Of the patients in the hospital 10 were killed and 23 wounded.
 Tn the region of the Stokhod the enemy tried to advance near the villages of Outnli and Arsonovitch but without re- suit.
 An advance of the enemy in the re- zion of Zviniatcici-Ell southeast of Gorokhov, was repufsed by us.
 The overflow of the Dniester contin- ues. Valleys situated in the neighborhood have been flooded through rivulets over flowing their banks The slopes of the heights are so slippery that it is almost impossible to climb them. At many points bridges have been washed away

SHERIFFS SLAYER
 HIDING IN SWAMP
Thirty Picked Men Are Guarding All Points to Prevent Escape of
 Louisiana Outlaw

Opelousas, La. July 20.-Thirty picked men with rifles tonight were guarding canebrake IS miles south- west of here, in which Helaire Carriere, who Sunday night shot and killed Mar ion L. Swords, sheriff of St. Landry parish, was known to be hiding. About 20 other men at dark started into the canebrake with the intention of driv- ing the fugitive out of his hiding place and within range of the outer guard. The canebrake is dense and almost inn passable, and the few hidden trails are said to be well known to Carriere.
 Carriere today escaped from a woods near Eunice and doubled on his track', entering the canebrake with a supply of food, which he secured at the point of his rifle from a family living near Savoy, midway between Eunice and Opelousas. He is credited with having announced that he would not be taken alive.

Force of Strangers Are Keeping Tab on U-Boat
 Awaiting Chance to Go

Baltimore. July 20.A British cargo steamer which anchored off the berth or the merchant submarine Deutschland gave officials of the Eastern Forwarding company considerable worry tonight. The British vessel is in a position to observe any movement of the submarine.
 The searchlight of the forwarding com pany's tug Timmins was flashed on the Britisher intermittently throughout the night.
 Capt. Zach Cullison of the Tlmmins re- ported formerly aboard the tug tonight. He had spent several days around the Virginia Capes, presumably getting line on the movements of foreign warships. It has been reported to officials look ing after the Deutschland interests that force of strangers has been keeping | close tab here on the submarines move ments. Others are said to be stationed at strategic points all down the Chesa- peake bay to the capes.

l inherited my democracy. But it would not stay in my blood long if the red corpuscles didn't have something to do. And if the democratic party will bear all its efforts to understand the United States and serve it, it will be continued in power so long as it practices that devotion.
 Declaring that selishness was the anti thesis of public service, because it sep arates men into camps, MT. Wilson said that the United States lis now one of the few countries in which lines of hos tility are not drawn
 Tn no other country are processes of peace so free to move as in America" he continued
 The President declared that in every community the postoffice is the con spicuous gauge and standard of what the government is doing for the people"
 "The administration will be judged by you-the whole spirit of public service judged by you" he told the postmasters. So you gentlemen are custodians of honor and distinction, not only of the party you represent. but the government you serve. You are good democrats only in that proportion that you love the gov ernment more than you do yourselves
 The word noble we never apply to a man who thinks first of himself. That ought to be the spirit of government, of government service How any man can slcep dt lhSHt "HoS0 SoiseiohSo 10 hOe clear as to the purposes for which he uses public office, I cannot see.
 "The message I would bring tonight is Let us band ourselves together and let us prove to the people of the United States that we understand what they want and are readier to do 1t better than any body else they can find"
 In an address at the afternoon session Anthony Caminetti, commissioner general of immigration, urged cooperation of postmasters with the labor departments employment bureau.
 If each postmaster will cooperate" he said, i've will have free employment bureau in every little town and hamlet The postoffice should be a place where every citizen should come to do business with Uncle Sam, especially every citizen who wants a job or who has job to give"

GERMANS CLAIM REPULsE

Berlin, July 20.-Via London )-Repeat- ed French attacks south of the Somme were repulsed by the Germans, the war office announced today. The French and British artillery are developed to a pitch of greatest intensity on both sides of the Somme.
 The announcement also says that d strong British attack north and west of Fromelles was defeated the British be- ing ejected by counter assaults wherever they succeeded in entering the German trenches
 The statement says
 Between the sea and the Ancre there have been repeated vigorous firing and patrol enterprises.
 Considerable British forces attacked our positions north and northwest of Fromelles. They were elected by counter attacks. We captured more than 300 pris- oners among them some officers,
 "On both sides of the Somme renewed fighting of severe character is pro- gressing. North of the river after strong attack, the British again pene- trated Longueval and the Delville farm. The enemy had withdrawn before our counter attack. He is still holding a DOT ton of the village and the farm.
 Early this morning, on the whole front from the FoureauX wood to the Somme, Anglo French attacks began. The first strong assault was broken. South of the river in the afternoon, the French twice attacked unsuccessfully in the district of Belloye and this morning in the sector of Estrees and Soyecourt Three attacks were sanguinarily repulsed. Also in salient trench near Soyecourt the enemy was repulsed in bayonet fighting.
 The enemy artillery is developing the greatest strength on both banks of the Somme.
 "Or portions of the Champagne front there has been spasmodic, vigorous artil- lery activity In the Argonne mining opera tions took place.
 Tn the Mouse sector (Verdun front there were no important events.
 Successful German patrol enterprises were carried out on Combres height.
 Near Arras. Peronne, Biaches and Yer mand, enemy aeroplanes were shot down, two of them by Lieutenants Wintgens and Hoehndorff. The Emperor has con ferred the Order Pour Le Merite upon Lieutenant Hoehndorff, who, as 1t is now. stated, shot down a French biplane southeast of Peronne on July 15.
