German Writer Describes Opening OF

Positions in France
GUNS ROAR 2 DAYS AND NIGHTS
Only Pause When Sallies Were Made
to Determine Whether the On.
...., slauqt1t Was Possible .il

BERLIN, July 3-fvia London)--The
correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger
telegraphing on Sunday from German
headquarters in France, describes the
opening of the Anglo-French attack as
follows:
For seven days and seven nights
guns of all calibers hammered the Ger
man positions, camps and shelters be-
hind constantly renewed waves OF
poison gas. The gas drifted over
mingled with shells, which, as they
burst, threw out corrosive, benumbing
fumes.
1.-THE country between Ypres and
Royse was one vast hell during the
long period of preparation, which was
double the length of that which pre-
ceded the battle in Champagne last
autumn. The only pause came when
sallies were made to determine wheth
er an onslaught was possible. The
Germans first line trenches in many
places were completely destroyed IN
der a hail of missiles against which
the best pioneer work was helpless.
1T came as a relief to the German
troops from an almost unbearable
strain when the bombardment yester.
day ceased and strong columns ad.

whole front, but broad sections on eth
ter side of the Somme and Ancre rivers
from the British northern sector to La
Boiselle. Along the second sector
from La Boiselle to the Somme, the
first line trenches were so demolished
that they offered no support for their
hard pressed occupants, and retire.
ment was decided upon and executed.
The ruins of Fricourt, Mametz and
Curlu, which lay in line with the front
trenches, had to be abandoned to the
enemy. who found here relatively his
greater success of the first day.
"The material left behind in the
abandonment of the front trenches
was destroyed before retirement. The
struggle continues along the whole
front, with enormous violence and the
utmost use of artillery, both in recent
and counter attacks. -
These are the results of the first
day of this monstrous combat in
which the united forces of England
France and Belgium, with an incon,

Bathtubs or Automobiles.

~ Should Z farmer buy an automobile
when he does not have a bathtub In
the house? This is the question that
is raised by DR.. John Ise of the depart
ment of economics of Iowa State col
lege after estimating that there are
not half as many Of the modern bath;
ing devices in Iowa as there are of the
modern ways of joyriding. While fig.
ures are not available for the whole
state, information from certain coun.
ties shows this to be true.
In Orange township, Blackhawk
county, which is an unusually wealthy
and cultured country community, there
are just few more than half as many
bathtubs as autos. In most parts of
the state, there can be nothing like
this number.

about her number of automobiles. Is
it too much to hope that some day she
may regard bathtub statistics OF equal

IN MEXICAN WAR.

Seventy years ago, at the outbreak
of the Mexican war. Iowa was just a.
|about to be admitted into the union,
and hence was too young member
of the American Commonwealth to
take a leading part in that conflict
Nevertheless Iowa did contribute it's
full share of men to the United States
army, among them being Captain Ben
jamin Stone Roberts, of Lee county
who attained considerable prominence
in one Of the. earliest publications Of
the State Historical Society of Iowa,
the statement is made that upon the
capture of the ely of Mexico in 1847
Captain Roberts twas the first officer
who septered the capitol and raised
with hts own hands, the first Ameri.
can flag above the ancient palace Of
the Montezumas, that announced the
scendants, by the valor Of, American
arms" %s&.* w.
On account OF his gallantry on many
battlefields the legislature of Iowa
passed a resolution in. 1849, declar.
ing that "for this evidence Of his pa.
triotism and attachment to his adopt.
ed state, he deserves and is hereby
rendered the cordial thanks of the
representatives of the people," Not
content with mere expression Of
thanks 1t was also voted that Captain
Roberts be presented with finely
wrought sword" not to cost more than
one hundred dollars, "as a memento
of the pride of his fellow citizens of
this state in the soldier-like patrio. |

him" -

Answer to Demands Reaches Washing
kon and Will Be Delivered to Sec
rotary Lansing Tomorrow.
THE TENSION IS MUCH RELIEVED
Answer Contends That Mexico is Now
Preparing to Handle the Sit.
... uation Along the Border.

WASHINGTON, July General
Carranza's reply to the demands OF the
United States reached the Mexican en-
bassy here today and will be delivered
to Secretary Lansing tomorrow. It it
is correctly described by persons close
to the embassay, it is conciliatoryl in
tone and designed to offer basis for
amicable adjustment OF difficulties be.
tween the two governments.
AS all Washington was celebrating
the fourth, Eliseo Arredondo, the Mex.
lean ambassador designate, made no
attempt to seek an immediate engage.
ment to present the communication. In
stead he directed an embassy employe
to give out such information as it
was deemed advisable to make public
in advance of delivery of the note and
then, with members of his staff, left
Washington to spend the holiday at a
summer resort.
General Feeling Of Relief.
Secretary Lansing, when told Of the
arrival of the reply, seemed gratified
at the description OF its contents, but
withheld formal comment. ....,.
in spite Of the reserve, pending study
of the text Of the note, the general feel
ing here was that the crisis which has
been a step from actual war, had pass.
ed. If the unofficial version Of the re.
ply is borne out, there undoubtedly
will be resumption of friendly nego!
tiations and in the absence OF further
serious border raids or 1lnwarranted
attacks upon American troops, there
will be little danger of a break. va,
Is VI Can Control Situation. .rtys
4 According to the information avail,
able, the note, believed to have been
dictated by Carranza himself, renews
assurances that adequate forces Of the
de facto government are engaged in
suppressing brigandage in northern
Mexico and protecting the interna'
tional line; admits that serious sit
uation exists, but again suggests that
the presence of American troops ag.
gravates rather than helps matters;
and paves the way for resumption Of
discussions in regard to border pro.
lection protocol, the subject of the
first notes which passed between the
two governments.
The de facto government announces
that it has accepted in principle medi-
alton suggestions from other Ameri.
can republics. and invites the United
States likewise to record itself. There
is no proposal that the questions at
issue be submitted to mediation, how
ever, and on the contrary it is observ.
ed that settlement might better be
reached through direct negotiations
between the governments interested
and the best informed. -ni., n
Question Of Withdrawal. :.

the American response to Carranza's
demand for withdrawal of United
States troops from Mexico in which
Secretary Lansing announced the in
tention of the United States to use its
forces as long as might be necessary
