QUICK WORK BY INFANTRY
IN DASH SOUTH OF SOMME

Paris, July 1.-THE new French
drive south Of the Sonape river yester-
day had been prepared by artillery
commandments for more than two days
and the complicated system of German
defenses in the loop to the northward
made by the river had been disorgan-
lied. The task Of artillery preparation
had been carried through rapidly and
the infantry attack probably would
have been made sooner had 1t not been
for the bad weather.
Yesterday morning the rain at last
stopped and the signal for the assault
was given. The French troops began
to move along a two and a half mile
front. The left wing rested on the
bridge over the Somme one mile east
OF Hormont farm, while the right lay
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 two sides, the north and
east at once. The Germans defending
it resisted theoretically, but finding
themselves in danger Of being sur
rounded, retreated up the left bank OF
the river by the Peronne road. At 3
o'clock the village was entirely in the
hands of the French
Meanwhile the right wing threw the
Germans into disorder and arrived at
German situation now appears to be
precarious. French military opinion
characterizes the capture of Biaches as
brilliant and important operation.
Whether the Germans are still holding
on to the network of canals or have
retreated to the other bank of the
Somme, the French position in the pla-
teaus before the Somme and the i'm
portant point of support afforded by
the capture of Biaches, give them d.

ately above Peronne

BASEBALL.

lost to Shehoygan at Sheboygau by
score Of to 0. We lost because UNI
pire Leopold was compelled to say
either safe or "out" when Braun

Tuesday 1000 fans from Manitowoc
and Two Rivers turned out on the To-
cal grounds and saw good game OF
ball. With the score to 4 in the 9th
Lang was on third with one down.
Mc'Glynn laid down a slow bunt along
the first base line scoring Lang and
winning the game.
Two Rivers gathered seven hits from
Stoney's offerings and the locals solved
Peck delivery only five times, but
Stoney famed - men while only five
locals whitfield, The fact that the
Manitowoc hits were long drives and
that Two Rivers had four bad boots
charged contrib buted to the victory. A
big crowd, ideal weather, a tight game
and a spectacular finish all contributed
to make II good pastiming. Lang,
Uerzog and Meyer starred with the
war club.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Every one was delighted Tuesday to
see splendid weather for Memorial
Day. If for no other reason it was
pleasing that the veterans who look
forward for year to their big day
would not be disappointed.
At both Calvary in the morning and
at Evergreen in the afternoon large
crowds turned out to honor the nations
heroic dead. In tbe morning parade
to Calvary started from St. Boniface
church. 1t was composed of Company
Fl. w. N. G., school children, band
and Catholic societies. Lincoln's Get
tysburg speech was read by Arthur j.
Auton. The address was delivered by
Leo Fox of Chiffon. His address was
keynoted on Americanism and was an
admirable effort.
The afternoon parade formed at l:30
o'clock and was shortly under way.
At the cemetery the program includ-
ed the usual music. There was an in
vocation by Rev. M. S. Axtell. The
Gettysburg Address was delivered by
Albert Staehle. Mayor Stolze presid-
ed and made brief address, the main
thought of which was depreciation of
Unnecessary preparation for war. He
lauded the veterans. The main ORE
tion was delivered by Rev. r. L. Will
kowski of Wittenberg. 1t was good
Grafton in thought, phrasing and de-
livery. He took an unexpected track
in criticising our nations attitude in
the war, particularly our permitting
the export of war munitions which he
designated as unneutral. He scored
attempts to involve America in the
war.
New features in the parade were the
Drum Corps and the Boy Scouts in uni
form.

MESSAGE FROM LAf0LLETTE.

Mayor Stole received the following
message from Senator LaF'ollette this
morning aneut the river and barbor
bill:
81 have secured the adoption of an
amendment to the River and Harbor
bill limiting the amount of water di-
verted through the Chicago Drainage
Canal to 250,000 cubic feet per minute,
thus protecting the levels of Lake
Michigan and all Wisconsin harbors
Great pressure is being brought to
bear to defeat this Limitation. AS this
matter vitally affects transportation on
the Great Lakes and particularly all
harbors OF Wisconsin suggest that ac-
tion be taken by municipal and com
mercial organizations directly inter-
ested. The fight on the amendment
will come in the House OF Represen-
t,tives. 1t is important to SECURE the
active support Of all Congressman to
save the limitation in that body"

eGAN TELLS BOYS Of BIRDS.

The meeting of the Boy Scouts of
America last Friday evening was an
Inspiring occasion. Mrs. f. Hoffman
had been delegated by the Women's
Relief Corps to present each troop of
scouts with an American flag When
the flags were unfurled the lads over a
hundred strong stood at attention.
They were given a short stirring adj
dress on patriotism by Mrs. Hoffman.
State Conservation Warden John Egan
then gave the boys a lecture on bird
life illustrated with slides. Mr.. Egan
is not only an authority on the bird
life of this region but has happy fac
ulty of making the subject one of iu-
tense interest to his audience. His en-
thusiasm is contagious and the talk
left desire in every youngster to
know more of the birds that live
around US. That our little feathered
neighbors we're introduced to many
new friends was evident. Every boy
and girl in Manitowoc County ought to
hear this talk and catch some of the
spirit of the love of nature, faunal and
floral, that Mr.. Egan imparts.

CITY DADS PLAY BALL AGAIN.

Manitowoc and Sheboygan city Off
cials are to engage in friendly rivalry
on the baseball diamond at Sheboygan
next Sunday. That is, every one hopes
it will be friendly. If the score should
be a tie in the last inning and the
jumps should call city clerk Kelly out
on close decision some of the Germans
on that Sheboygan team will think
Ireland bas declared war on their
Fatherland.
Last year the chair makers were
dead easy. 1t was almost a shame to
do it. The score was 9 to 2 Manitowoc
has improved vastly and is filled with
the confidence that comes to con-
querors and which is conducive to
continual victories. Capt. Shuetze
claims his men unbeatable and il their
hides stay in Sheboygan for tanning
they had better stay there too. There
will be kettle of tar and big feather
bed awaiting them here. Disgrace
can be too bitter to be tamely borne
The regular players will probably be
Alderman Schuetze, Thorison, Geor-
genson, Nienauber and Revolinski,
Sexton Pasewalk, Clerk Kelly, Fire
man Luedtke. and Street Commissioners
Vollendorf. There will be 35 substi.
tutes more or less Alderman Bouril
has been busy requisitioning automo.
biles and has enough corralled to take
everyone down Sunday morning. The
game will be a curtain raiser for the
regular league game. Well, here s
hoping.
