the Somme 'front.' 1--WE made a further
slight advance and captured number
of prisoners" the War Office announc-

night received word from the War de-
partment that plan of recruiting the
National Guard organizations now in
the service is being arranged. 1t is
the plan to establish local recruiting

CLEAR NORTHERN BANK

BRITISH EXTEND THEIR GAINS

terial together with the subsequent
losses inflicted in counter attacks, it
is believed here that the German
power of resistance must have been
weakened
The Russians continue to record
successes, some of which are of great
Importance, along their whole front
from Riga to the Carpathians. They
have crossed the railway between
Delatyn, west of Kolomea, and Koros-
meZo, one of the main lines between
Gallcia and Hungary upon which the
Austrians depend largely to supply
their armies at Stanislau and before
Tarnopol. This places the army of
General Won Bothmer in a still more
dangerous position and it is thought
he may decide to withdraw toward
Lemberg.
Russ Make Progress
In the Ltusk salient at Baranovichi
and along the Riga front the Russians
also claim to be making progress and
to have repulsed counter attacks.
German correspondents express the
opinion that General Kuropatkin is
preparing an offensive in the Wilma re-
gion.
The situation in the Caucasus is
somewhat confusing. Turkish and
Russian reports are more at variance
than usual, both claiming victories in
the Tchorum region on the Russian
right 1t appears, however, that while
the Russian right is drawing back
toward the Black Sea and their ex-
treme left is retiring across the Per-
sian border in Kermanshah district,
their center is continuing to advance
from Baiburt southwark to the west
of Lakes Van and Urumiah.

An electrical top range has lately
been invented which can be made of
real utility in small apartment. At

ty meal for five persons was cooked at
the expense of twelve cents worth of

oven and six small hot plates. The
meal cooked included a five pound
roast, boiled potatoes, biscuits, macar-
oni, two small apples pies and apple
sauce. OF course such results are on
ly obtained at that cost by a skilled
demonstration, but the tiny electric

Ulster Division Moved
Ahead Through Curtains
of Machine Gun Fire
By Assoeiatsd Press

Press Camp. British Army In
France, July 5. - The story of the
Ulster divisions share in the first day
battle of the Anglo French offensive,
is now accessible. 1t had one of the
most terrible parts of the difficult at
tack in the northern section of the
offensive. Its trenches were disad-
vantageously located on ground fac
ing ridge where the German bat
teries had an enfilading fire.
Through curtains of shrapnel fire,
In the face of machine guns and un-
der enfilading fire from machine guns
in a village. the division captured the
first German line shouting mo sur
render" and remember the Boyne"
and started for the second line.
Still under cross fire and every kind
OF shell fire, the troops of the Ulster
divisions continued on until they gain
ed strong redoubt on the summit of
the ridge. There those who had surk
vived dug in. Against German coun9 ,
ter attacks and machine gun and rifle
fire from two sides, they held on until
they had no more bombs or cartridges.
EopelCgsly shut off from further
supplies by German curtains of shell
fire, they had to fall back, bringing
200 prisoners to the German first line
Of trenches, passing through curtains
of fire to do so. Here they established
themselves and stuck until help came.
An English battalion from York
shire and Lancashire, caught in the
same fashion, so far as known fought
almost TO the last man in holding the
Germans north of the Ancre while
battalions further south made pro-
gress.
All reports of prisoners agree that
the Germans expected the real center
attack would be north of the Ancre.
Regular army officers saw that nothing
in the annals of the guards or of any
other regular regiments IN the battle
Of Ypres or in the history of the
British armJ surpasses the gallantry
of these Kitchener battalions which
kept pressing on towards the object
i've set for them when half their
numbers were down.

e. Paso Tex, July 6. - Villa forces
pursuing their victory over Carranza
troops at Corral ranch on July 4, have
attacked JimeneZ, according to re-
ports reaching mining men here to-

reports asserting that telegraph lines

Reports from Chihuahua City fol-
lowing the engagement at Corral said
that the broken Carranza command
lad retired to Jiminez which is 120
miles south of Chihuahua City. An

an American who had extensive in

that Francisco Villa recently sent a

Soldiers Relieved From
Battle Front First Ask For
"Sleep, Wash and ShaUe"
BY Associated Press

Press Camp, British Army In
France, July 6. Battalions which
have been fighting since the battle be-
gan now have been relieved from the
front line and are in billets in quiet
villages or towns free from the sound
OF shell blasts or cracking bullets.
Answering questions as to what they
wanted most when relieved, they in
variably answered in three words:
sleep, wash, shave"
Every battalion is proud of keep
iEg it's formation until the first line
of German trenches was reached and
of the fact that the new army made
Good. One battalion with whose off,
GERS the correspondents talked, met
machine gun fire and lost half of its
officers and men before reaching the
first line of trenches, but fought its
way on another thousand yards to an
objective set for it, where it entrench-
cd and maintained its position. One
of the officers of this battalion served
out biscuits and half bottle of soda
water to each man from supplies
found in the German dugouts.
Talks with prisoners generally re-
vealed that the German soldiers have
food while letters from their homes
in every part of Germany indicate
privations of the civilian population.
Asked what he thought or the great
naval battle, one prisoner said he
never heard of it. Another said that
fresh eggs had been a great luxury in
the German army and that a basket of
them had just arrived and the Ger
mans in his trench were feasting their
hungry eyes upon it when a British
howitzer made a direct hit.
Many of the prisoners asked the
same question as do the British SOL
diers: Has the British army enough
shells to keep up such bombardments
as that of last week."

The body of the ninth trooper was
located two miles distant from the

apparently dragged himself away to
die in the gravel waste beyond the
town.
Scenes in sharp contrast to those of

GERMANS HOLDING
 RUSS AT LUTSK
Achievements Are Being Rushed to Stop Further
 Advance of Slavs

Petrograd, July 5.-(via London ) The Russians are battering persistent- ly at the solid wall of the German de- lenses west and north of Lutsk, be- yond the Shara river. The Germans have taken the offensive at various points and fierce battles are reported daily but with little change in the alignment.
 The Germans are pouring reinforce ments to this front from Kovel, Vlad imir-Volynski and Skokal. apparently making a desperate effort to push the Russians back from Lutsk. Their only success has been to bend the Russian flank positions at the cost of a fear ful toll in dead into an arc centering on the village of Torchin. 15 miles northwest of Lutsk.
 Along the whole line northward to Riga the Germans are attacking on widely separated and narrow fronts but apparently without coordination. The only success admitted by military crit fcs Is in the region northwest of Nowo- grodek. where the Germans threw q force across the Niemen. Little import ance is attached to this. due to the swampy nature of the terrain, which, 1t is believed. makes the development of an offensive impossible.
 General Brussiloff's advance in the kolomea region has distinctly slowed up and is less spectacular than during the last fortnight, but continues to record successes.

 Chihuahua City would seem a natural base for operations against column moving into Mexico from Fl Paso and also is so located as to feed columns ope- rating in western Chihuahua in the di- rection of the line now held by General Pershing.

 Another Friedander musical comedy Is the offering for this week at the Lyric theatre, entitled "The Night Clerk" and presented by a capable company The piece is above the average in humor and contains some unusually attractive song numbers, combining grace and melody For summer show, "The Night Clerk fills the requirements quite well.
 oWard Langford, a personable young man with good voice along with his good looks, is conspicuous among the with an easy manner we'll suited to the part Frank Ellis, an excellent light com edian, is the night clerk, who for time exchanges places with the young mil lionaire. Miss Ethel Russell makes a winsome blonde telephone girl, while Miss Ellen Boyle as the heiress reveals ability as a comedienne which is emphasized by her beauty and magnetism. Cecil Som- mers as the hotel engineer, who tries to cast damper on New Year festivities by predicting all sorts of dire castastrophes, including a boiler explosion, provides some droll comedy and his makeup creates laughter William Wandas as the foreign artist. Jacks Gates as Stephen A. Halsey, millionaire, and Sam Brans- ky as policeman, are others among the principals worthy of praise.
 The slight plot concerns the love affairs of the real night clerk and the girl tele- phone girl and the wealthy youth and the heiress. The fathers of the second couple have agreed that they shall marry. Neither has ever seen the other, but their courtship progresses swimmingly while young Huntington is posing for a night as hotel clerk.
