GERMANS TAKE HILLS
Second Positions Of the Ger
mans So Demolished That
Resistance is Weak.
tBr Assee,ATEo 'REsG


PARIS, July 6-Last night was
generally quiet north and south o.
the river Somme, says today's oi1cla
statement of the war office.
There was few local engage
ments during the night in which the
Germans captured two small WOODS
north of Hem. The French also cap
tured a wood.
Germans Repulsed.
South of the Somme the nlghl
passed In quiet. A German counter
attack on Belloy was repulsed easily
Tho French have captured seventy
six cannon and several hundred ma
chine guns.
There was no infantry fighting or
the Verdun front. The Germans are
attempting to lombard the cathedral
at Verdun.
More French Progress.
The Anglo-French offensive in RI
cardy has had another day of sub
statndal progress, outstanding fea,
lures being the resumption OF the
French advance north OF the Somme
and the capture of German second
positions there.
Complete preparations had been
made quietly in this section virtually
unhlndered by the Germans while the
French forces south Of the river
pulled up level and got a thorough
grip ON German southern positions.
This was ACCOMPLISHED by the ejec
tion of Germans from the part oil
Estres they still held and the cap
ture Of their communication between
Estres and Belloy. The northern
troops then emerged from their
trenches and dashed forward goou
mile.
Germans Weakened.
The Germans second position had
been so demolished by artillery that
they we're unable TO make strong
resistance except at the village oil
Hem. Here the attacking troops
met desperate opposition. Each house
ruined was fiercely disputed, but Dy
dint of hard fighting the village was
won as well as Monacu farm to the
southwest.
The French consider the capture OF
Hem as of considerable Importance
for 1t commands the passage OF the
river to FeuiIleres already in their
hands. It's possession thus assures
a direct bond between corps on
either side Of the stream.
The Germans are beginning to re-
act more vigorously as reserves ar
rive, particularly south Of the somme
and the French advance there is hot
iy contested. French critics expect
that the Germans will concentrate all
their former energies in defense OF
the villages of Barleux and Ntllers-
Carbonnel. The former bars the ra-

at Grangeville, Idaho county, held by
National Committeeman Robert H

in direct opposition to the instructions
to said committeeman therefore be it
Resolved by the Democratic CEN
trail committee of Idaho county, Idaho.
that we hereby condemn the action of
said Robert H. Elder and resent his Of
fetal and pernicious interference in the
affairs of Idaho county, which we hold
to be inexcusable and without prece-
dent and strongly indicating that said
Elder is more deeply concerned in the
distribution of federal patronage than
in the election of our state and con-
gressional ticket, and is therefore dis
qualified for the position and duties
of national committeeman.
That the political activity of L. A.,
Wisener, postmaster at Grangeville,
Idaho, under the dictation and control
of said Elder is in violation of section
162 of the federal statutes. and merits
removal from office.
I1s13. page 161, section 1872, reads as fol-
lows:
No person in the executive civil
service shall use his official authority
or influence for the purpose of inter-
fering with an election or affecting the
results thereof. Persons who by the
provisions of these rules are in the

Resolved, further, That we con
denim the action of the state committee
in disregarding the recommendations
of the national committee for statewide
primaries, and in substituting therefor
| the ingenious and facial method adopt
ed to serve the purposes of the Ma
chine That we repudiate the state
ments made by John r. Nugent at the
said meeting of the state committee
wherein he opposed holding primaries
upon the grounds that the Democracy
of the state of Idaho would be exposed

I'VE therefore call upon the Demo-
Gratis of Idaho, whose loyalty is based
upon the principles of Democracy, and
who desire the election of the Demo
cratic state and national ticket to join
with us in repudiating the political
machine built up in this state for the
use and benefit of the builders, with
federal patronage as its chief corner,
stone.
