MILLION MEN
IN DEATH GRIP
ON SOMME Line

LONDON, July 23-Approximately
a million and half British, French
and German soldiers are at grips on
the Somme battlefield between Thlep
val and Soyecourt, it is estimated by
military critics.
Fresh troops are still being rushed
to the front by the Germans who have
evidently become alarmed at the
steady advance Of the allies.
Counter attacks by the Teutons
have been delivered with extreme Wig,
or between Longueval and Martinpu-
ich, particularly in Foureaux Wood,
where the British were compelled to
relinquish some of the ground they
had gained.
Despite the strength of their works
and the stubborn fighting qualities OF
their men. the Germans have been
forced back more than two miles in
the region north of Longueval during
the present weeks fighting.
They were able to reconquer some
of the ground they had lost. but Brit
ish attacks again forced them rear
ward.

$29,64O INCREASE
MADE IN WAGES

If the assertions of the investiga-
tors for the Central Labor Council are
accurate, there has been an increase
in common laborers' wages in the city
of Richmond amounting to s29,640 an
nually. The average wage paid COM
mon laborers is said to be $3.50 day,
an increase of 10 per cent in the past
year. There are $50 common labor
ers in the city.
The possibility of earning better
wages with a pick and shovel has at
tracted many men from the more ex-
pert labor in the shops, where their
wages average only about $12 week,
a member of the council said today
The comparative lowness of wages
paid to skilled labor is peculiar to
Richmond, he asserted.

Cution was dealt it's severest blow
thus far in the conspiracy trial Of

DIFFERENCES CAUSE
RETURN BY SCHRAMM
OF LUTHERAN CALL

Difference of opinion between the
First English Lutheran church and the
Rev. w. .. Schramm of Pittsburg In
regard to the proper practices OF
Lutheranism resulted in the return OF
the call extended to the Rev. MT.
Schramm by the local congregation.
The call, with a brief letter. thanking
the congregation for their courtesy
and frankness, was received this Morn
ing
The Rev. Mr.. Schramm stated that
following the long conference which
he held with the church council, he
made UP his mind definitely that he
could not accept the call. He sent IT
hack as soon as he returned Pittsburg.
The point of difference was the
dalesburg rule, which in enforced In
the Joint Synod of Ohio, OF which the
Rev. Mr.. Schramm is member. Tnis
rule states that holy communion shall
be administered TO Lutheran COM
municants alone, and that the pulpits
OF Lutheran churches must be occupl-
ed only by Lutheran ministers. The
General Synod does not enforce this
rule, and the local congregation was
unwilling to adopt 1t.
Although the members OF the con-
gregation are disappointed IN not Sc
curing the Rev. Mr.. Schramm. several
of them stated today that his firmness
of conviction had only heightened
their regard for him.
Another call will not be extended
for at least ten days. The committee
has several names under consideration
and will make another recommends
ton to the congregation within that
time

the level Main street bridge advo-
Gates are getting up petition which
will be circulated for signatures and
then presented TO the county council
and board of commissioners.
1t had been planned to get the petit
ton into circulation today but because
it was not in shape its circulation was
postponed until Monday.

bridge petition which has appeared in
Richmond during the past week. The
first was the petition for a level

paired for temporary use is meeting
with much favor.

A Richmond young man quarreled
with his wife yesterday. By mutual
agreement they decided that it would
be best for them to part for time,
but they did not want divorce.
A brilliant idea struck the man
he would join the army, and stay until
absence made the heart grow fonder. -
He knew, however, that married men
were not accepted for service. There
came the rub. But love always finds
way. The wife consented to sign
release papers, if such were possible.
Go to Bonds Office.
To the recruiting office they went,
and wiley took a girl friend with her
to accompany her home after hubby
had left for the front.
They laid the proposition out before
Sergeant Bond in a vivid manner, and
the wife asked for the necessary pa
pers to sign. But here the hopes
ended.
Nothing doing" said the sergeant.
