 LONDON, July 21.-The official statement issued about midnight from British headquarters in France reads:

 LONDON. July 20.-While a strong but unsuccessful German counter of- fensive is still being fought out on the British front. the Teutonic ar mics find themselves again the ob- ject of a simultaneous attack on both eastern and western fronts. The re- cent successful advance having brought the British into line with the French at Harecourt. the French Of- fensive. which has been for some time in preparation has been renewed en- ergetically on both sides of the Somme on a front of about five miles thus far successfully.
 Official dispatches from the British and French headquarters tonight show a further advance by both ar mics.

 General Rrusiloff has brought up crushing forces from the Stokhod 10 the Lipa to attack the Austro-Ger- mans. and anxiety as to their ability to withstand a continuance of the pressure is beginning to be reflected in the Berlin comments on the sit uation.
 Military critics here discuss the new situation which has arisen. pointing out that Germany is now compelled to act on th edefensive and they speculate as to how soon Germany may find herself obliged to make readjustment in an attempt 10 shorten her lines. especially on the eastern front

tey Review Leased wire.1

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Senator LaFollette again delayed passage of the naval bill today. continuing until 8 few minutes before adjournment the attack he began yesterday against the measure. As soon as he concluded the senate defeated, fl to s, his amendment to prohibit use of the navy to collect private debts or enforce claims of American citizens or cor porations. A substitute by Senator Norris to prevent such employment of naval vessels until court pI|ceed- ings had been exhausted and arbitra- tion denied, also was defeated
 In a seven-hour speech Senator La Toilette contended that the big fi- nancial interests of the country. cen tered in the great Wall Street group known as the Morgan and Standard Oil combinations were responsible for the movement for large army and navy.
 How Carranzs Does IL
 Speaking on his amendment he said he had been informed upon good au- thority that General CarranZa was negotiating along those lines with LatinAmerican countries and later would ask the United States to enter into it.
 The proposed naval program. Sen ator LaFollette declared. meant the inauguration of a policy to build a navy as great or greater than that of Great Britain within the next ten years

there has never been any question OF

bayonet men have rushed an enemy

TN the course of all this desperate

instances of the most courageous and

to detail.
"The case of corporal of an east

of the most extraordinary ever re-
corded The battalion had success
fully captured a line Of German
trenches when party of the enemy
consisting of two officers and about
l20 men, began a counter attack.
"The corporal advanced alone
against the whole party, emptied his
revolver, picked up first one and then
another German rifle, each of which
| he emptied, accounting for the two Of
ficers and sixteen Of the men. When
| he was shooting, one of the wounded
officers attacked him with a bayonet
and pierced him in the leg below the

The rest Of the enemy attempted tc

morning by Health Officer DR.. Paul

DR.. Cox of the state laboratory was
called here and stated that as a re-

possible for the state laboratory to
put in a branch here, but that if the
city would appropriate $3.50. which he
estimated would be required to fur
ther equip the city laboratory for ad-
ditional archaeological work. the
state laboratory would furnish a man
to do the work.
DR.. Cox at first wanted DR.. James,
meat and milk inspector, to do bac-
THEOLOGICAL work in cases of con-
tagions, but this is not possible as 1t
would take DR.. James away from his
regular duties. t.-rr
DR.. Sorkness thought that the city
would do we'll to take advantage OF
the offer to secure branch labora-

passed a resolution authorizing Dr.
Sorkness to purchase the needed
