LEIPSIC REDOUBT FALLS TO BRITISH
 IN STEP BY STEP
 ALLIED OFFENSIVE
(Continued from Page onc)

and 600 Germans had been brought in as prisoners while more were being un- earthed from their hiding places. The last of the small parties which held out with a ring of British around them, in brief but ferocious sieges, were surren- dering. They had hoped for a counter dt- tack to rescue them, but the British had foreseen this and met it with blasts and battery and machine guns they had inn mediatey put in position for that pur- pose The prisoners whom the correspondent saw were the Twenty ninth Prussian regi- ment and were of the sturdiest German soldier type, much superior to those of the eleventh division who became dis organized and surrendered freely in front of Pozieres recently. Some of them laughed over the manner in which they had been trapped and they were general ly very happy for they had heard what had happened to those who had tried to resist in such hopeless situation. M
 CLOSE TO DELvILLE In the center the British have pushed closer to Martinpuich and have taken an orchard west of Delville wood, but the hottest work probably was on the right. Here the Germans kept on reinforcing
 and their guns never forgot Lon- gueval. If they have any extra ammunf- i llOI they seem to IulH IL on lue u1dSS6Q wreckage of that unfortunate village. The British are equally interested in making sure that no remaining bricks of Guille- mont escape the attention of their artii- lery. Small bodies of British have been to Guillemont, but found it no place to remain in the face of the fire the Ger mans in turn concentrated on l. Inc Germans were insistent on keeping a , stone quarry on the edge of the town, but after hand-to-hand argument which lasted many hours the British took and kept it.
 South of Guillemont the British were well forward of the village when aero- plane observers saw big forces of Ger mans moving forward in counter-at- tack There was another hurry call to the guns, of course, and they wiped out the first two lines of the advancing waves. The rest of the Germans took cover in a ravine. Following it they debouched and under the protection of their artillery struck the French left which remained in an angle of woods, forcing the British to yield some of the ground taken.
 WELL IN THE PINCHERS Looking at the trench map at head Quarters, it seems that the British now have Guillemont pretty well in the pinch CTS and are closing in on Ginchy, the position beyond.
 Striking out from Delville wood after hard rough and tumble fighting they gained foothold 300 or 400 yards from Ginchy.
 The French capture of Maurepas, which was most stubbornly defended, was a source of qualification to the British who express themselves as more than satis- fled with yesterdays and today's work in the step by step offensive.

TT HAPPENED IN HONOLCLU.'
 A Universal feature supreme is booked at the Belle Theatre in Ems ley today where Tt Happened in Honolulu" a three part photoplay with Myrtle Gonzales and Val Paul will be shown Another film feature to be presented at the Belle theatre today is the Hearst Pictorial Review which places on the screen all the current happenings of the world that are of sufficient public interest to be photo sraphed.
 TOMORROW NIGHT.
 An event of worldwide interest to motion picture enthusiasts and de- voices of theatricals is scheduled for tomorrow night at the Liberty thea Ire in New York when David Wark Griffith the noted photoplay director, will give the first public showing of his latest spectacle Intolerance" The advance announcement states simply that MT. Griffith has taken young couple of modern life-caught and swallowed up in the whirlpool of social reform-as the central figures of his drama. Advancing the theory that the same forces have worked throughout the ages, MT. Griffith joins his story to ancient times, in- troducing analogous characters to the protagonists of this modern story and showing how they were engulfed in the same vortex of intoler- ant opinions. Thus he resorts to the "switch-back' to flash parallel nar- ratives of the fall of Babylon, the advent of the Nazarene into Judea and the massacre of St. Bartholomew in Paris in the sixteenth century. Intolerance is the development of an idea.
 The student of the photoplay will await Intolerance" to study the de- veloping skill of MT. Griffith. Here it would seem the great director will simultaneously unfold four themes of different periods That the breadth and detail of "Intolerance' will chal- lenge all productions to the present moment goes without saying.
 The brief period of eight years marks the growth of MT Griffith It is, of course, within the memory of everyone to recall his first visualiza- ton of Browning in When Pippa Passes" And the steadily advancing skill displayed with the old Biograph company in "Enoch Arden" "The Blot on the Escutcheon,' Lines on a Sullen Sea-" the numerous tense gun play meodramas from The Battle, to "The Mender of Nets" and fin ally his Judith of Bethulia," still an unforgettable production. Yet "Jud- ith' was in a scant four reels
 In fact, tomorrow nights presenta- ton of Intolerance will take its place in screen history.

GERMAN CATHOLIC KNOCKS

president of the German Catholic Gen. tlal Verein, made public today. referred to the "swaying attitude of our gov- errment'' with respect to Mexico. and de- clared that lin the opinion of our best thinkers and leaders our so-called pros- perity, chiefly due to traffic in munitions of war, will meet with an abrupt termi- nation when peace shall have been estab- lished."
 The report added:
 "The closing of factories and plants, with subsequent lack of employment, will necessarily emphasize social contrasts and promote increased socialistic propa- ganda. It then becomes our patriotic duty to cooperate in equalizing these contrasts, as good Catholics and citizens on a basis of Christian principles and solidarity"
 Of Mexico the report said:
 Our neighbor republic, unfortunate Mexico, cannot find quietude. Owing to the swaying attitude of our government, the perpetrators of infamy and crime against the Catholic church and her serv- ants have taken hold of the government there We hope and pray that this poor country may soon be granted just and peaceful government. l recommend the acceptance of appropriate resolutions eX- pressing our opinion on this subject.
 The church dignataries, visiting dele gates and their friends, attended a mass meeting in Madison Square Garden to- night. Addresses were made by Gov ernor Whitman, Acting Mayor Bowling, Cardinals Farley, Gibbons and OConnell. Apostolic Delegate Bonzano, w. Bourke Cochran and others. John Whalen, pres- dent of the American Federation of Cath ollie societies, presided.

 It was estimated that more than 5000 persons crowded into the cathedral while twice as many more congregated outside to view the procession which preceded the mass.
 Monsignor Michael J. Lavell, rector Of the cathedral, read message from Car diral Gasparri, papal secretary of state, in W hich he said:
 SENDS GOOD WISHES
 "The Holy Father will watch with loving and paternal eye the federation of Catholic societies of the United States holding their annual convention in New York He sends earnest wishes that their friendly discussions shall accomplish much for the welfare and honor of the Catholic name in your favored land. Ana while hoping for the most consoling re- suits from your concerted activity and wisdom, he grants most heartily the apostolic benediction to the federation and to all who take part in il"
 Three temporary canopied thrones were erected within the chancel for Cardinals Gibbons and O'Connel and Archbishop Bonzano, papal delegate to the United States Cardinal Farley, who sang the mass, occupied the permanent throne within the chancel.
 Lay delegates led the procession into the cathedral and several hundred priests in black cassocks and white surplices lined the center aisle while the cardinals archbishops, bishop and monsignori with their attendants filed past. The cathe- s..xs.. shor of Ptttsours, numbering 1S0 IT. |, voices, assisted the high choir of St. Patricks.
 Bishop Thomas F. Hickey of Rochester preached the sermon.
 Among the church dignitaries present besides the three cardinals were: Arch bishop Aversa, papal nuncio to Brazil; Bishops D. J. O'Connell of Richmond Currier of Havana, Cuba, Da Silva of Portugal, Edward P. Allen of Mobile, N. A. Gallagher of Galveston.
