Until the purple blossom is trodden into
the ground.

Troops from Verdun

LONDON, July J.-Thc kaiser Is
withdrawing troops from the Veriun
front to meet the supreme offensive
Of the allies which continued to gain
ground last night ON both sides Of
the river Sommc.
Dispatches from the British head
quarters announced that several
fresh reserve units had arrived ut
the German front north of the
Somme. This news Is regarded as
vastly more important than the Brit
ish and Fcnch official statements re-
porting further gains last night.
How many troops have been with
drawn from Veivlun Is not known.
The British statement said the al
lied offensive had succeeded In one
Of its obpccts. that Of tightening the
troops in the vcrdnn fighting. II
was indicated In the headquarters
report that the arrival Of German
reserves was due to a realization of
tho Germans that their line wns
greatly menaced by the allied Often
sive.
The statements from the British,
French and German war Offices agree
that the allied drive was resumed
last night ON a big scale and that
heavy fighting occurred on both
sides Of the Somme.
The French made important gains
on both banks OF the Sommc and
are pushing eastward, capturing
German trenches past Curlu on the
north and advanced to within three
miles Of Peronnc, their immediate
objective.
The French war Office announced
the capture Of Sormont far positions,
four miles northwest of Peronnc and
south Of the Somme.
Sir Douglas Haig, commander In
chief OF the British forces, reported
at two O'Clock this afternoon that
the British had captured further im-
portant positions in heavy fighting
between Ancre and the Somme.
Press dispatches carried addition
!. word that German counter at
III 1pal was repulsed this morning.
The German war office issued on
ly brief statement announcing
that violent fighting continues on
both sides Of the Somme.

RAMA WANTS TO MAINTAIN
FRIENDLY RELATIONS.
NOTE SATISFACTORY
That Is Indicated by the Comment
on Reply by Secretary Lansing.
Copy Sent to President
Wilson.

WASHINGTON, July s. - The
state department today officially
made known its willingness to con-
tinue the negotiations with the Car
rama government in view OF the
latter's desire to maintain friend
ly relations as expressed in
his note delivered to Secretary Lam
sing today. Whether such continu-
ance will be by mediation or direct
negotiations was not revealed.
The rejection of the informal me-
diation offer from the Bolivian min
lister should not be interrupted as
a final refusal in principle, Secre-
tary Lansing said. Instead he point
ed out that this was contingent on
Carranza's early reply.
Aside from expressing willing
ness to continue negotiations the
state department announcement
was merely that the note had ar
rived, had been translated and sent
to President Wilson. From Ian
sings comment the note was mani
testify satisfactory as forecasted yes

About 10000 men, the first incre-

be available this year; other SINH

for the next four years.
The administration has made no
decision as to what TO do on this
point, but the proposition Is design
ed to become vital one in brief
time.
