to cross the Styr in Folhynia are re-
ported in today'S official statement by

ments on the Russian front. the state
ment says:

saults by the French failed of result.
South of Damloup in the Ferdun re-
gion, gain of ground for the Ger
mans is reported.
The official statement regard ng
operations on the western front fol-
lows:
The Anglo-French attacks along the
Somme front on the l9tn ana ZVtH
were unusually stubborn and were
repeated 10 fold at many points on
the front of 25 miles. The impress
sion made on the German side was
that the enemy employed his utmost
exertion in a determination 10 break
through at whatever cost. The Brit
iish threw mounted cavalry against
the Germans at Foreaux forest. This
episode recalls the tactics OF General
Joffre in launching cavalry against
the Germans in the September often
isive campaign. The ground gained
by the British amounts TO about three
square kilometers. The French also
occupied a small grove on the ex-
treme southern sector Of the battle
Correspondents at the front, re-
flecting the views OF army officers,
pronounced the conviction that Ger,
many's enemy would never succeed
in preaching her lines.

TREVINO ORDERED
TO. MEXICO CITY

WASHINGTON. July 23.-General
Jacinto 'Trevino. commander Of the
Carranza forces in northeastern Mex
leo. has been ordered to Mexico City
and will be succeeded: az least tenn
porarily. by General Louis Herrera
commander Of the Chihuahua City
garrison Dispatches to the war de
partment today from General Bell, re-
porting the transfer, contained no e1-
PLANTATION as to the cause. Army Of
icers here were plainly surprised al
such an important change at this
time.
General Treyino has personally di
rected the campaign against bandits
in chihuahua, and it is said to be
largely because of his efforts that the
Carranza soldiers have continued
their operations against Villa and
other outlaw leaders on such broad
scale. For that reason some regret
over the transfer was expressed here,
though officials said they were conf
dent that General Herrera would use
every resource at his command tc
continue the campaign.

away and the sun was climbing high.
After an hours march through swamp

sweat and parched with thirst.
We were marching light. Overcoats

the soggy ground made progress slow

FAILED TO ARRIVE

NORFOLK. Va. July 23.-Predic-
tions from German sources that the
German Merchant submarine Bre-

would attempt to enter the capes to-
day.were not broke out, but hope was
expressed tonight by persons who ac-
curately predicted the coming OF the
Deutschland two weeks ago. that the
Bremen would appear within day or
two. Obviously however, some con-
cern as to her whereabouts is being
felt.
a large crowd Of sight-seers who
gathered at Cape Henry today IN an
ticipation Of the Bremens arrival
were repaid by Witnessing unusual &C.
tivity on the part Of the Allied war;
ships maintaining a guard to prevent
the Bremen entering or the DeutSch-
land leaving. Daylight this morning
found a great four stacked ship, ap-
parently of the French navy, hugging
closely to the three mile limit. AS
trading vessels began TO move out or
the barbor, she began stopping all OF
them from friendly nations, and ap-
parently, interrogating the crews.
Several times small boats were put
off the warship and sent over 10 the
halted vessels.
Craft about which the warship en-
tertained suspicion, however, stood
little chance of drawing near her. An
attempt to get in communication with
her from tug during the afternoon
failed and caused her to put far out TO

the tug, the big ship rushed away and
soon was fully ten miles outside the
three mile limit. When the tug re-
turned toward the Cape Henry light
house the warship again steamed up
close.

in an effort to pick up either the Bre-

were current that the Deutschland

BALTIMORE, Md, July 23.-The
only thing that can be affirmed OF the

tonight is that she is alongside a
l,pier in the Patapsco river. where she
was berthed ii days ago, when she
completed her vogaye from Germany.
It was officially stated tonight that
clearance papers as yet have not been
filed, and this strengthened the belief

signment Of gold alone are responsible
for delay in the submersible's depart

In this. connection it was reported

trustworthy source. that gold, in small
sacks similar to those in which the
nickel that is known to form part
OF the Deutschland's cargo was placed

Thursday by stevedores. 1t was re-
called that extra precautions in guard

Minneapolis Woman Grieving To
Death Over Lad Believed to
Be Near Here.

If Lucien Ennis, who ran away from
his home and school in Minneapolis
on Nov. IA, is in the neighborhood OF
Sank Centre he should be Informed
that his mother is grieving to deafh
at his absence and failure to let his
whereabouts be known to her. Doc
tors say that continued silence on the
Boys part will kill the parent.
Lucien, who is Is years OF age,
failed to appear at the school which
he attended on November Ia and
only slight trace of him has been
found since. He is believed to have
been in Sank Centre last week. and
his brother was here Monday to fol-
low the clue but with no success.
When Lucien left home he wore a
red mackinaw coat, gray cap and long
gray trousers. He rode a motorcycle.
He is rather heavy set, weighing
probably 1876 pounds, height about
five feet and four inches, auburn hair,
blue eyes, light complexion, has a
scar on right arm from elbow TO
shoulder.
A lad answering that description
had repairs made on motorcycle IN
a local garage last week but departed

money when he left home and it IS
possible he has found employment on
a farm in this region, Any informa-
