 He is not afraid of the conditions that will come when the in those very conditions great opportunity typicaly American place in the extension Of effort which seeks no gain at the expense any other nation, but which will pay us large profits while it confers large benefits.

LONDON. July p, 12:3S a. m.- Some idea of the huge forces now engaged in the battle of the Somme in northern France is given in an official statement from Berlin tonight, in which is stated that more than 200. 900 French and British troops at tackled the German lines north and south of the Somme Thursday on front of twenty-seven miles. To- days news from the battle-ground which has been contested bitterly since July l, shows no great change in the relative positions of the Fran CO., British and German forces.
 The British have again pressed for ward to the German third line in tho Foureaux wood, northeast of Longue- val. This wood is an important stra- tegic point, the capture of which would bring the forces of Genera Haig to the highest point on tho ridge commanding the German posi- tions in the less hill country, which i'
