ALLIED LOSSES
REPORTED AS LIGHT
On Russian Line, Great Battle
of Stokhod Still in
Progress

London, July 14.-After the brisf.
est preliminary bombardment which
has preceded any important action o.
the western front, the British armlss
on the Somme have again swept for.
ward, and have captured several i1ns
portant German second positions.
On front Of four miles, the Brit
ish have advanced to a depth OF =
mile and have held all positions gain
ed in spite of violent counter attacks.
Strategic Importance.
VI The strategic Importance Of the
British successes is marked by the
Strengthening of their lines in. CON
formity with those Of the French,
who had hitherto advanced At 4 much
greater speed than their allies Tbs
brevity of the preliminary bombard-
ments, coupled with the statement of
press correspondents at the front that
the British losses were comparatively
small lend support to unofacial state
ments that the German secoud line
was less strongly fortified than their
first defenses. :
On French Portion.
On the French portion of the Som
me front, no action of Importance was
recorded, but in the French official
statement for Friday. 1t was announc-
ed that the bombardment of German
positions on the Belgian front had
reached a point of the greatest in
tensity. This announcement receiv-
ed additional significance as. for more
than a week, the Belgians have re-
ported persistent and destructive
bombardment directed against the
German Notifications. These an
nouncements were similar to those
made by the British, preceding the
opening of their great offensive, and
they possibly indicate that another
big forward movement by the Entente
Allies may be attempted at the ex-
treme western end of the battle line.
On Verdun Front. ~,
Another point of significance In tho
days war reports is that the only
action reported on the Verdun front,
were assaults made by the French.
These assaults were noted in the
German official statement, which
made no claims of any German Of
fensive action.
On the Russian front, tho great
battle of the Stokhod IS still raging,
with the issue remaining in the bal
ance. The most important news from
the Russian side is in regard to the
operation in the Caucasus. The Grand
Duke Nicholas reports continuous and
substantial successes against the
Turks and apparently is launching an
other great offensive in the region OF
Erzerum and Beirut, aimed at tho
very heart of the Turkish Empire "A
successful Russian advance along
this line would cut of the Turkish
army in the south ana again place
Bagdad in jeopardy. ..s

Making the Little

by c. c. B0wSfIELD

As showing what possibilities there
are in land, 1t is related that farmer
near Kansas City. Mo, sowed eighty
acres to meadow with mixed grass
seed. When it had grown up he dis
covered that a large amount Of daisy
seed was mixed with the other. and he
had nearly a perfect stand Of daisies
all over the field. No attempt was
made Immediately to eradicate them
and before long people in the city be
gan to notice the field which was very
beautiful during early June and July,
So many people came out to the field TO
gather daisies for decoration that the
farmer finally put up sign, ten

too busy to give systematic attention
to II, but his children often went over
into the field and collected from the
people who were gathering the flowers.
In this way they made quite few dol

counted their own.
The field ran along in the same way
till four years ago a woman took charge
Of 1t and began to give 1t regular at

well known throughout Kansas City

similar to those used at the show you
will attend. Cover the floor with short
