ROAD OPEN TO BAPAuME

LONDON, July Northumberland en-
counters with the Germans, with an
active artillery pounding continuing
throughout the night. was reported to-
DAY by Gen. Sir Douglas Haig.
Within the next few days the British
advanced lines must Withstand DER
many's most powerful counter attacks
since the start OF the allied Offensive.
The newly won positions out or
Pozieres from which the Germans were
forced out will be the point OF attack.
This was the opinion or military OBJ
servers here today. They pointed out
that the Germans admittedly have
transferred large reserve forces to this
salient from verdun.
knowledge OF that fact made the
British success reported yesterday by
General Aaig all the most satisfactory.
but 1t likewise gave notice to military
experts here that the Germans, feeling
the menace in the British encirciins
movement from Pozieres westward ana
eastward from Hill Nl. south OF iniep-
val. would attempt its checking with
every resource OF men and guns At their
command.

None OF the official statements sheds
any light on whether this position. lying
northwest OF Pozieres, IL traversed by
the two strong trenches which Haig re-
ported having been stormed ana cap
tured.
Apparently. there was a iuil In the in
fantry attacks along the British front
today. Feverish activity In throwing up
entrenchments and consolidating their
gains will be necessary so that the Brit
fish can successfully Withstand the Cor
man counter-attacks, and until this dig
ging in is accomplished, IL Is not ex-
pected that there will be another for

forest fires in the past few years, the
danger has not been entirely obviated.
Massachusetts,, which has made n
special study Of preventive measures
and has enforced restrictions upon
hunters and railway companies, had
3,OOS forest fires last year, entailing
n loss Of $141 yO73.
Railway locomotives were held re-
spOnsible for 344 Of the 1881 forest
fires so far this year. The remaining
031 were caused mostly by the care
lessness Of hunters. smokers and per-
sons who failed to e%xtinguish camp
fires In the woods.
Despite all the warnings, cautions
and attempts to impress upon people
the great danger and loss from forest
fires. carelessness that amounts In
many cases to criminal negligence
remains the principal cause Of the
destruction of one Of our valued nat.
urnl resources. Individual care and

Such is the version OF the German

to Russian prestige. The RESPONSE
bility for Rumania's disaster IL divided,
but the Cars Government must
shoulder most OF II. For nearly two
years Rumania was solicited and en-
treated to enter the war on the side
Of the Entente Allies. and when she
yielded Russia was not ready with re-
endorsements and equipment-and II
was the Rumanlans who saved the
Russian army at Plevna In the war Of

and at hand to transport a great army
I o Bucharest from the Bukowina,
menaced by the Russians. and from
Bessarabia: also from the Black Sea
by way of Constanta: but there was
no concentration upon anything like
an adequate scale. The fault was
either with the ordering Of Russian
u or with Russian strategy.
Some day the true story of the ig-
nominious failure must be told. At
the present time It is the great mys-
terry OF the war. With a common
frontier and railways crossing II there
