DRIVE WELL PREPARED.

Paris, July 10.-The new French
drive south Of the Somme river yes
terday had been prepared for by artil-
lery bombardments for more than two
days and the complicated system Of
German defens9 in the loop to the
northward made by the river had been
disorganized
Yesterday morning the rain at last
stopped and the signal for the assault
was given. The French troops began
to move along two and half mile
front. The left wing rested on the
bridge over the Somme one mile east
of Sormont farm, while the right lay
a little north of Belloy.
The left wing and the center crossed
the German trenches with single
bound and progressed rapidly in the
direction Of Biaches. This village was
attacked from the north and east sides
at once The Germans resisted en-
ergetically but finding themselves in
danger Of being surrounded, retreated
up the left bank of the river by the
Peronne road. At o'clock the village
was entirely In the hands Of the
French.

WAR NECESSITIES
TO MAKE UP CARGO
ON RETURN VOYAGE
GERMAN SUBMARINE WILL
CARRY BACK RUBBER AND
NICKEL IS GENERAL belief.

Washington, D. c., July 10.-The
fact that boarding officers found the
German merchant submarine Deutsch.
land wholly unarmed goes far toward
simplifying any question as to her
status as merchant ship in Amsr-
can waters.
Officials realize, however. that the
British and French embassies, while
interested little in what the Deutsch-
land has brought over, are concerned
over the cargo Of rubber and nickel
she proposes to carry back to Ger
many and expect that nothing will be
left undone by Germany's enemies ia
prevent or hinder her clearance.
Although the fact that the submer-
sible is unarmed Is OF first import
ance, such factors as the composition
Of the crew and actual ownership will
have to be established to determine
whether the submarine could be class
ed as naval auxiliary.
Naval officers pointed out that II a
successful means of running a block
ade had been perfected, one of the
most potent measure Of warfare had
become thing of the past.
Until the customs officials' report is
received, Acting Secretary Polk said
today that no action was contemplat-
ed by the state department. He said
that for the time being at least, de-
tails of inspection Of the submarine
were within the jurisdiction Of the
treasury department, aided possibly
by the navy department.

WAY IS OPENED TO
. TRANSFER PAPERS
ABILITY OF SUBMARINE TO RUN
THE BRITISH BLOCKADE HAS
Possibilities. .-

New York, July 10.-The arrival at
an American port of German subma-
rine and the possibility of establishing
carrier service between the United
States and the blockaded TeutOn1c
nations has aroused particular inter-
est here among persons who have SUI
fered from their inability to send to
Germany and Austria-Hungary money
and legal documents. It was said to-
day that If the submarine returns
home she will carry an important con-
signment of bank drafts and legal pa
pers Of various kinds.
Ordinarily $3.50, 100000 is sent from
this country to Austria Hungary but
with the war this fell off to $15,000,-
900 yearly. 4..
The settlement of at least dozen
estates now in the surrogate's court
here has been held UP because it was
impossible to send or receive the nec-
essary legal documents to or from the
cities of the central powers Mort
cages have been foreclosed because
it was impossible to obtain the inter
est due from holders in Germany and
Austria Hungary This effect of the
blockade has been felt in all the
cities of the United States where
there is a large Teutonic population.
William J. Matheson, president Of
the Cassella Color Co., one of the
firms to which the dyes aboard the
Deutschland are consigned, said: "
"I was told about the submarine
about month ago but in a most mys-
terious way. Word was passed along
from mouth to mouth but even now
I could not tell you from whom I got
my information knew, however,
that if any dyes were shipped should
get some of them.
1--WE have had orders for dyes
placed in Germany ever since the war
began and have had our money there
to pay for them. AS to the value of
the cargo could not say" .

WAR SUM M AIRY.

The French are again on the often
sive south of the Somme and have
captured German trenches over a dis
tance of two and half miles east Of
Flaucourt and to depth of about a
mile. .
The new French offensive is in con-
nection with the British, who have
been engaged in desperate fighting in
the vicinity of Ovillers where, the
British war Office says, they have
made STEADY progress in the face of
stubborn opposition by the Germans"
Regarding operations around Trones
woods, German headquarters, while
admitting loss of ground in the Harde-
court village. says both British and
French were repulsed with heavy
losses at other points.
Losses on all sides are said to be
very large. The British casualty list
Of the last four days reports 628
British officers killed, wounded or
missing.
The great Russian offensive on the
eastern front is sweeping on with in.
creased vigor. The Russians have
crossed the Stokhod river in their
drive against Kovel, an important
strategical point, and have captured
Of villages along the line of
the Kovel-Sarny railroad.
The Austrians in Bukowina have
forced their way across the Moldava
river. They also have been very ac-

One Carload of Oil Ordered /;
Expected Here Within
the Next Two Weeks
HAS MONEY ENOUGH
TO BUY ANOTHER CAR
Committee Insists That It
Get Support or Will Not
Treat Certain Routes

At least two OF the country roads
will be given an oil treatment, accord
ing to the statement OF the oiled roads
committee Of the Commercial club.
Just what two these will be is not
stated, although it Is practically as
sured that the road leading north out
Court hill will be one of them.
One car load of the oil has been or;
dered by the committee and the fund
is now sufficiently large to provide the
second car load. At least two more
cars Of the oil will be needed to ex-
pertinent on the number of roads that
the committee has been planning for.
With two of the roads disposed of,
the third and fourth will depend for
the selection upon the interest in a
substantial manner shown by resi-
dents and property owners along the
routes.
...@ May Disappolnt Some.
A member of the committee today
voiced the sentiment which he said
represents the opinion Of the entire
committee, that some of the roads on
which it was hoped to use the oil will
very likely 90 without it and other
roads be substituted, even though they
be less travelled or not quite so popu-
lar. for traffic.
"We just will not oil road where
the residents and property owners up
on It do not care sufficiently for the
oiling to lend support by contributing
to the fund. The business men Of the
city and owners of autos in town who
have only a general interest and not
much to gain by the improvement,
are not going to be taxed for the bet
terment of property that the owners
lack interest in. II it is necessary to
use some important highway that Is
little travelled and neglect more
popular road, we will do this rather
than allow some to get their roads
oiled at the exense Of others. The
support given the project in two d.
rections >out Of the city has been fairly
good and 1t is about settled for two
on which the improvement
will be made. The car owners and
business people have responded nicely
but we will not impose upon them for
the benefit of those who would fail to
do their share"
Thus declared member of the
COHluiILIee duu uc Was StCOIueu ny
other members Of the committee.
Some of the committee members
with residents Of one Of
the probable roads Saturday and
we're fairly successful. The county
board of supervisors has promised to
prepare the roads and put on the oil
If the latter is supplied free Of cost
to the county. This proposal Of the
has met with the hearty
approval of the committee and stim-
ulated interest in the movement to
raise about $4,000 for the purchase of
oil. The first carload Of oil is expect
ed within the next two weeks and will
be placed upon one of the roads as
soon as it arrives. .~.
The committee urges more gener
Gus response, especially in some of
the districts where oiling is expected,
and unless the request is met proper
ly the roads will be left untouched
