Capture German Trenches.

London, July ', 2:46 p. m.-Cap- ture of a German trench on a front of 1000 yards east of La Boisselle, in the Somme region, was announced officially today.
 The British assumed the offensive on certain sectors east of Albert at dawn today. At the same time the Germans launched heavy attacks on the British trenches near the Ancre Violent fighting is now in progress. In the vicinity of Ovi1lers and Con- talmaison, as we'll as near La Boisselle, the British made progress In the region of Thiepval the Germa ms regained section of lost ground. The statement follows:
 This morning in certain sectors of the battlefield east of Albert we re- sumed vigorous offensive at dawn The Germans at the same time launched heavy attacks on our new trenches in the vicinity of the Ancre and north of Fricourt, with the result that violent fighting is now in progress along the whole front between the Ancre and Montauban.
 ''Enemy Succeeds
 Up to the present time several inn rOrtant tactical successes have been gained by our infantry in the vicinity of Ovillers, La Boisselle and Contal- malsOn but northwest of Triepval the enemy succeeded temporarily in re- gaining two or three hundred yards of lost ground"
 Last Nights Operations.
 The operations of last night, before the resumption of the offensive re- ported in the foregoing statement are described in an official communica- tion, as follows:
 Hast night the enemy heavily bonn barded our new positions at Bernaf- fay wood and Montauban and near La Boisselle, using in some places lachrmatory shells. Eastward of La Boisselle, after severe fighting in which the enemy suffered heavy casualties We captured another trench on a front of 1000 yards, where we are now firmly established.
 Southwest of Thiepval a determined attack on our new lines was com pletely crushed.
 ''The enemy's artillery was particu- 12rly active in the Loos salient and opposite Hulluch. Our artillery shelled the enemy's communication

JAPAN AND RUSSIA
 MAKE AGREEMENT
Clauses of Resolution Signed
 July 3 Are Made Public

Tokio, July 1.-The Japanese for substance of the Russo Japanese con- vention signed at Petrograd on July 8, the following:
 First. Japan will take part in no directed against Russia. Russia will take part in no arrangement or po- litical combination directed against Japan.
 Second. In case the territorial rights or special interests in the Far East of one of the contra citing par ties which are recognized by the other contracting party are menaced, Japan and Russia will consult with each other on measures to adopt with a view to supporting or extending as- sistance for the safeguarding and de- fense of these rights and interests"
 To a question from the Associated Press representative as to what effect the alliance would have upon the open door and the integrity of China, the foreign office replied:
 'The convention is effectua1lys an emphasis upon and an extension of the Anglo-Japanese alliance based upon the territorial integrity of China, whose open door and integrity are not endangered. American trade and interests are in no ways affected
 The foreign office denie daffirma- tions in Japanese newspapets that the convention contained secret clauses.
 Now that Japan and Russia are pooling their interests in the far east they will free themselves from the necessity of regarding each other as possible enemies in the future and from the maintenance of large bodies of troops on their respective frontiers.
 The impression in Tokio is that the convention is framed to meet at tempts at the extension of German influence in the far east, believed to be undesirable, while the hands of both powers are strengthened in deal- ing with the situation in China.
 Englishmen and Frenchmen claim that the accord will check efforts at German aggrandizementa after the war and prevent China becoming the cause of new international turmoil.
 The Japanese are elated over the conclusion of the convention.
 The newspapers welcome the ex- tension of Japanese influence in the Orient.

Russians Take 7,415 Men.

Petrograd, July 6, via London, July. z, 9:3O a. m.-The following official statement was issued tonight by the war office:
 The number of prisoners we took . on July and during the fighting which still is going on west of the line of the Styr and below the town of Koloki, totals more than 300 officers and 7,415 men, mostly unwounded We captured also six guns, 23 ma- chine guns, several thousand rifles two searchlights, eleven bomb throw CTS and seventy-three aluminium lights.
 We repulsed violent German at tacks near Gruziatyn.
 On the right bank of the Dniester near Jidattcheff and Hotzizrz, there was desperate fighting.
 There was a lively artillery duel in many sectors of the front north of the Pinsk marshes. East of Barano- vichi the enemy launched several desperate counter attacks which we repulsed. Several times the enemy opened gusts of fire with his heavy and light guns against the region of Labuzy, east of Barano- enemy delivered two violent counter attacks. We drove him back on both occasions, bringing to bear on him the fire of our artillery, machine guns and rifles"

fives,' while the German supports fol- l lowing and reserves far in the rear 1 were shattered by salvos from me l dium and heavy batteries. The German infantry plodded for ward again and made no impression i upon the French lines. Rarely did | it even get to grips With the occu- i pants of the trenches, which accounts i for the small number of prisoners i taken. The Germans, say the reports, | had StriVen the whole day without of I fecting the slightest modification of ! the situation.
 The French remain two and a half miles from Peronne on the south side of the Somme and four miles from that city on the north side of the river, and there are no formidable natural obstacles in the way of their occupation of the city when the French commander judges the time ripe to advance.
 Berlin. July ', by Wireless to Say ville.-The text of the Au5trO-H Hun gary war office statement of July follows:
 Russian front: Nothing of inn portance occurred in Bukowina.
 The uSnIllS near hOIOuled \NTd- licia) was extended. A strong hostile advance west of the town was checked by a counter attack. Southeast of Tlumach, German and Austro-Hun- garian troops broke up with artillery and infantry fire an attack over front of one and a half kilometres by a large force of Russian cavalry.
 Attack Gains.
 
 tack Of the Teutonic allies gained furthur ground. Violent Russian ad- vances west and northwest of Lutsk were repulsed. A Russian cavalry at tack in the Zeloczevka district also was a failure.
 Northeast of Baronvichi German and Austro Hungarian troops re- pulsed strong attacks for which prep arations were made with violent ar tillery fire. These engagements have not been ended
 Italian front:
 "There was great activity on the part of the enemies cannon and mine throwers against the Boberdo heights, particularly south of Monte Deisei- dusi. Isolated and severe hand gre~ made engagements developed.
 'In the Mormolata district and on the AustrO-H Hungarian front between the Brenta and the Adige several at tacks of the enemy were repulsed.
 "In the vicinity of Monte Inter- rotto Lieutenant Kaiser with a patrol of six men from the Twenty sixth Austra- Hungarian Territorial regi- ment, returned from a successful en- terprise against hostile machine guns with 266 captured Italians, among whom were four officers. In other places yesterday fourteen officers and 366 men were captured"

French Satisfied.

Paris, July ', 5:44 a. m.-Yester- lay's defensive fighting has given most as much satisfaction to the trench as the previous days captures pr, they say, it has clearly shown fat the entente allies not only are Ple to win positions from the Ger Rans wherever they like but also are Hole to hold those positions when on.
 The first German counter attack was unched in the night in the Hem Sction, north of the canalized Somme Ever. The Germans succeeded in Hrrying two small woods situated H uth of the CIery-Maricourt road, a NV hundred yards from the sugar Sprks bordering that road #The French troops there fell back the village and, swinging their left 4rg slightly, captured another small
 bod at the northeastern end of the lage close to the Hem brickfeld and apng the edge of the road from 8ery to Hem and Curlu. HThis was the only change in the @uatio0 throughout the twenty-four @urs during which the counter offcn- #e lasted.

NEW YORK WANTS
 MRS. GREENS WILL
Small Probate Charge in Vermont;
 Other State Will Get Millions

New York, July 1.-The state of probate of Mrs. Hetty Greens will in Vermont and to demand an inherit ance tax of $4,000,000 to $6,O0O,0 900 on the $1OO,000,O0O to s15O,O00,0 900 estimated value of the estate. This was decided after a conference at the local office of the state comptroller.
 If the state of New York does not get this money, no other state will because under the Inheritance Tax law of Vermont no tax Is imposed on property willed by parents to children.
 All but $25,OoO of Mrs. Greens fortune was willed direct to her chill dren, Colonel E. H. R. Green and Mrs. Matthew Astor Wilks, and all that Vermont will get out of the vast estate is five per cent. of the outside legacies, the total inheritance tax amounting to approximately $1,250.
 Will Test New Law
 State Comptroller Travis fight will be the first test action under the latest amendment to the inheritance tax law, known as Chaper 551, laws of 1916, which took effect May 15
 
 of Lamar V. Hardness, the aged Standard Oil man, who died in Cali fornia and whose executors claimed that state as his legal residence. The Hardness estate is worth apprOxi- mately $77,000,OOO. The case was argued before Surrogate Cohalan, and awaits his decision before being carried to the court of appeals.
 A hearing las been set for July 22 at Bellows Falls Vt., on the applica- ton to have the probate court there admit Mrs Greens will as a resident of Vermont. State Comptroller Travis will be represented by counsel at that hearing, prepared to object, on the ground that Mrs. Green was a resi- dent of New York state.
 The New York state comptroller, it was said yesterday at the local of- flee, has no recourse but to contest the probate of the Green will in Yer mont, inasmuch as the 1916 amend ment to the inheritance tax statute compels him to act, having been drawn with the aim of meeting just such cases as those of l.. V. Hark- ness, J. B. Haggin, Mrs. Green and other millioaaires who live and do business here and leave other states to reap the transfer tax on their es tates, if the law imposes one.
