WEEK BEC|NS VEL FUR ENTENTE ALLIES AND |S EXPECTED TO BE
 FRUITFUL IF DEVELOPMENTS

British and French together have cap tured since July 1 more than 26,OO0 prisoners, 40 guns and hundreds of machine guns.
 From the eastern frontier come fur ther reports of continued Russian sue cesses. General Kuropatkin has cut Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's line at several points, and, according to an unofficial report, has penetrated dis tance of five miles.
 Russian official reports of the oper- ations in this sector (Riga) are ex- ceedingly reticent, but von linden burgs line was considered the strong est on the whole eastern front and that the Russians were able to break it is regarded as most significant here.
 At the other extremity of the long line the Austrians officially admit their withdrawal toward the main ridge of the Carpathians and the Russians are within four miles of the Hungarian frontier, moving toward Maramaros SZiget
 Except in the Dniester region, heavy fighting is proceeding along the whole front. There is no further official news of General Sakharoffs operations but, according to unofficial accounts, he is on the point of entering north east Galicia, General Boehm- Ermolli and General Bothmer being outflanked both north and south. General Sakha- roffs forces are supposed to be working in the direction of Brody and Soka1.

BALTIMORE, July 23.-The only thing that can be affirmed of the submarine merchantmen Deutschland tonight is that she is alongside pier in the Patapsco river where she was berthed fourteen days ago when she completed her voyage from Germany It was officially stated tonight that clearance papers as yet have not been filed and this strengthened the belief that negotiations for insurinG a con signment of gold alone are responsible for delay in the submersible's depart ure.
 In this connection it was reported today from what is considered trust worthy source, that gold, in smal sacks, similar to those in which the nickel that is known to form part o1 the Deutschland's cargo was placed was carried aboard the vessel las Thursday by stcvedores. It was re- called that extra precautions in guard ing the submarine were taken tha1 day Newspapermen were forbidden t' climb a pile driver from which they had been making observations. i was on Thursday too, that it was re- ported in New York that marine un' derwriters had been asked for rates or a $4 900 900 consignment of gold to Dc dispatched on the Deutschland

BREMEN FAILS TO ARRIVE AND

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NORFOLK. Va, July .23.-Predic- tions from German sources that the German merchant submarine Bremen, sister ship to the Deutschland, would attempt to enter the capes today were not bourne out but hope was eX- pressed tonight by persons who accur- ately predicted the coming of the Deutschland two weeks ago, that the Bremen would appear within day or two. Obviously. however, some con cern as to her whereabouts is felt.
 A large crowd of sightseers who gathered at Cape Henry today in an ticipa1ion of the Bremen's arrival were repaid by witnessing unusual activity on the part of the allied warships maintaining a guard to prevent either the Bremen from entering or the Deutschland leaving Daylight this morning found a great four-stacked ship, apparently of the French navy, hugging closely to the three mile linn it. As trading vessels began 10 move out of the harbor she began stopping all of them from friendly nations and apparently interrogating the crews. i Several times small boats were put off the warship and sent over to the halted vessels.

LONDON, July 24-The foreign of flee has published the text of the note handed to the American ambassador replying to certain American com plaints against the British censorship of mails. The reply is confined to the few specific allegations made in the recent American note It is stated that the formal answer to the general argu- ments advanced by the Washington government is still under consideration by the entente allied governments and will receive reply in due course.
 The two principal cases referred to in the present memorandum are those of the MacNiff Horticultural company of New York and the Standard Under ground Cable company of Pittsburg. The MacNiff company complained of the loss of perishable goods owing to the detention by the censorship of mailing documents relating thereto.
 The British government states that so soon as the matter was brought to it's attention it arranged to have a | special mail bag for shipping papers which would be immediately censored also that no delay would occur In | the case of the cable company, it is stated that "the government of the | United States appeared to insinuate' | that the delay in the mail of the cable company was directly connected witt the fact that "a British competitor haC obtained contract which that com pany should have been tendered"
 His Majesty's government" the note continues, "is astonished that such ar
 nsinuation should be made, especially

PARIS, July 23.-The destruction of a German fortified work on the Somme front was marked by a tragic episode, says La Liberte. The order was given to destroy the fort at whatever cost. In less than six hours more than 2,500 great shells were fired at it and the defenses gave way one by one in a cloud of dust and smoke. The infantry then went forward anu the German po- stons were conquered.
 French artillery officers, examinino the ruins, discovered among a mass of debris Bavaran ofisccr with his chest crushed and at the point of death. At sight of the French officers the Ba- varian seemed to collect himself, then kneeling about him.
 The story told by the Bavarian and later recounted by an artillery officer was that thirty two men had occupied the work After the bombardment had continued for time, half of the men were victims of an awful death. Two were decaPitated and of three others near whom shell exploded, not a yes tigc remained. The survivors crouched at the bottom of the suprerranean shell . ter and awaited their fate.
 Another terrific explosion occurred the men being thrown together in a confused heap. Almost immediately flames shot up from the undergrouno cavern. There was a moment of in- | describabe terror, for now fire was l ravaging the work. The lieutenant ir

LONDON, July 23.-The fourth week of the SOmme battle begins well for the entente allies and is expected to be fruitful of important developments. Before Saturday midnight the British began a new attack on the whole line from PoZieres to Guillemont, and the fact that General Haig has been able to resume the offensive so soon after the unsuccessful German counter at tacks of last week, in which very strong German forces were brought forward, is regarded as good augury.
 The fighting has been of the fierCest character, the Germans working with their utmost strength to prevent the British from advancing to their third line positions. But when the last re ports left headquarters in France the Australians had firmly established themselves in Pozieres and are reported to have placed themselves astride the road in the direction vr Bapaume, while at Guillemont and Longueval fortunes fluctuated, both places changing hands several times. Late tonight fighting was proceeding with the utmost vio- lence.
 The German counter attacks recently delivered against the French front have proved equally unsuccessful and the entente allies are now fighting slowly in the direction of Combles, which is only two miles distant from Guillemont
 According to a reliable estimate the

 BERLIN, July 2S. via London Heavy attacks by the British along the Somme front in northern France on the line running from Thiepvai into Guillemont have been fruitless despite disregard for losses among the large number of men employed, the war office announced today.
