siasm. the British people tonight arc
confidently expcctant Of even more
hopeful news Of their great offensive
in conjunction with the French, when
got under way this morning after

On which the French ere carrying the
offensive, the British are driving for

They occupy German first line trenches
at every point and in some places are
still pushing far into the interior de-
fence.
News OF the British success spread
like fash through the country. Every
where there was rush for speclal ell
lions of the evening papers, whose mead
lines were eagerly scanned for details
of the great drive. Along the principal
streets little knots of soldiers gathered,
while one Of their number read the
encouraging tidings, and traditional
British reserve was shaken of as the
Tommies slapped one another on the
shoulders or shook hands as they real
lied the import of the news.

board a Thames steamer crowded with
invalided troops. When the announce
ment was made they dropped crutches
and canes and joined in something re-
sembling a war dance, TO the imminent
danger of taking a bath in the river.
Usually on Saturday night London
streets arc practically deserted, but to-
night they are thronged, and there are
more people in theatres and restaurants,
all waiting for the latest bulletins. Even
now crowds are shouting in the street
below The Tribune office.
Military critics take the news more
calmly. preferring 20 wait for completer
reports. To the nation, however, this
battle on July l TO come as a bracing

FIFTY YEARS OF SERVICE.
Illinois Central Roadmaster at For
Dodge Pensioned.

Fort Dodge, Aug. 11.-After spend
ing fifty years in continuous employ
,ment for the Illinois Central railroad,
Hugh Gilleas, roadmaster of the Iowa
division, whose home IS at 312 South
Eighth street, is now enjoying his first
vacation. In the latter part of July
Mr.. Gilleas asked for three months
vacation on full pay, and afterwards
20 be retired from active service on a
pension. In lieu Of his long and faith
full service this was readily granted
by the railroad officials.
Mr. Gilleas is thus now receiving
the reward for his labor, and for his
devotion to his employers for more
than half a century. In regard to
actual service, he is the oldest en-
ploye on the Illinois Central lines,
and probably one Of the oldest in the
United States The recognition Of his
services by the company in granting
this long vacation and subsequent
retirement on a pension shows the
gratitude Of the company for the
faithful work done by Mr.. Giiieas in
the past. Never during the fifty-two
years Of his employment has he asked
for a vacation. but has been content

Rotterdam. Netherlands. July 1S.-
Many foreign shipbuilding orders
that would have been placed in Hol-

puence Of the uncertainty created by
the Ship Export law recently passed
by the Dutch parliament, according
to complaint just presented to the
Minister of Agriculture, Industry and
Commerce by shipbroker, A. Schip-
pers, who represents large shipbuild-
ing interests.
ut is" he says, remarkable that
America has never been able to COM
pete with Dutch shipbuilders, neither
before nor during the war, but that
so soon as Holland was closed to the
export of ships the United States has
booked big orders for the building Of
vessels for European firms. at prices
that are fabulouly high-much higher
than the prices that our shipbuilders
would ask if there were a free export
Of ships built in this country"
The Dutch shipbuilding industry
cannot exist without foreign orders,
and the livelihood Of $4,000 workmen
is at stake. according to the petition

December 81. 1914, less than 10 per
cent Of the tonnage building here was
being constructed to foreign orders,
this proportion had risen on June l.,
1916, to about thirty-four per cent.

on the export Of ships shall be so
amended that ships may at all times
