BOTH BRITISH AND FRENCH ARE JOIN
ING IN A BIG OFFENSIVE ON A
TWENTY-FIVE MILE FRONT
IN SOMME
TEA THOUSAND GERMAN PRISONERS TAKEN
AND FIFTY SQUARE MILES OF TERRI
TORY WRESTED FROM KAISER'S
SOLDIERS.

London, July 3.-Throughout the
night the great British and French
offensive which begun Saturday
morning in the Somme and Ancre
sectors continued with intensity and
there was no diminution in the battle
on Sunday. The British and French
war offices report steady advance
at certain points, but speak also of the
formidable German resistance.
Fricourt, an important town three
miles east of Albert, has fallen to the
British arms, While the French have
taken Curlu which lies to the south
east. The fighting at the southern
end of the British line where it is in
contact with the French is of the
fiercest nature, tremendous artillery
actions proceeding all the infantry
attacks. The French have taken six
thousand prisoners, according to the
latest estimates while the British,
though reporting the capture of 1880
later declared that the estimates were
too low. Owing to the nature Of the
battle, it is not doubted that the cas-
ualities are very high.

Notwithstanding the terrific offen-

their efforts around Verdun. They

position has been recaptured by the
French forces and is held by them.

Launch Full Of Sailors, Drawn

Into the Sea.
ONE KNOWN DROWNED

Although Officers Think

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-A
launch carrying fifty sailors to the
Francisco bay, was cut in two by the
steel paddles of the Sacramento river
steamer Apache here early today and
at 9:45 one man was known to have
drowned and two injured men had
been taken to hospitals. At that hour
six sailors were missing from the
Glacier, but officers Of that ship be-
lieved they were all safe ashore.
The accident occurred two hundred
yards south Of the ferry building and
in plain view of passengers on trans
bay ferries. The launch left shortly
after o'clock to take sailors who
had been on shore leave back to the
Glacier, which was anchored in "man-
o'-war row." The little crafts course
took her directly across the path CT
the big Sacramento river steamer
and, close to the berth Of the Apache.
The Apache was in her berth, pre-
pairing to pack out. Her paddles
were running to fight the action Of
the strong tide. So strong was the
tides pull that the little launch was
drawn by it under the Apache, where
she was quickly cut in two by the
river boats steel paddles. She sank
and all those aboard her
were thrown into the water.
Watchmen on the docks sounded an
alarm and launches rushed to the
rescue The United States cruiser
South Dakota also responded to the
alarm ard sent two launches.

northern Mexican capital. The sill

The shortage of rifle ammunition

is being held in the yards there, but
General Trevino fearing it would fall
into the hands Of the bandits, wired:

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. 25.-The
defense in the Mcdaniel murder case
started out today to break down the
testimony of ]. A. Hartley. state Wit
ness and owner of local detective
agency, who declared Mrs. Mcdaniel
sought a divorce. Samuel c. Schulz,
attorney and life long friend of the
McDaniels, testified today that the
home life of Oscar D. Mcdaniel,
charged with the murder of his pref
ty wife, mother of his three children,
was happy, and that the murdered
woman also was happy and contented.
Mcdaniel wept as Schulz testified.
AS the defendant wiped the tears
from his eyes, he displayed his first
real emotion during the trial. The
outburst came when Schulz told Of
the home life and of the children and
OF their love for their father.
The defense has more than fifty
witnesses, many of whom are prom
inent st. Joseph citizens, who will
testify to the good character OF Nc
Daniel The defense expects to prove
a complete alibi, and will attempt to
show that Mcdaniel received threat
ening letters from gang of crooks.
The inference is that the defendants
attorney will seek to show that the
crime was committed by a member
Of this gang.
Mcdaniel will not go on the witness
stand until Monday. The state
claims it will be able to tear to pieces
the accused mans testimony after he
has told OF his whereabouts and
actions on the night of the murder.
Mcdaniel is expected to prove the

Secretary Redfield began preliminary
work on this question that effects

It is the belief of administration

for high prices now lies in the fact
that food production during the
past year was below normal, while
expectations have greatly increased.
It is held by administration Of

one demanding closest and most
careful study. not only from local
angles, but also from the viewpoint
of the entire world" and that It can

VILLA IS BIG FACTOR

tBy Carl D. Groat. United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. - Only
General Carranza and General Villa
stood today as possible obstacles to
fruitton of, the Atlantic City confer
ence agreement for withdrawal of
General Pershing's forces from Mex.
leo in the next forty days.
The American government itself is
prepared to ratify the protocol, mas
much as it was shaped upon terms
President Wilson himself approved.
What General Carranza will do is a
problem, though the administration
believes he will sign 1t even though
it may be distasteful because OF In
clusion of provisions that U. S. troops
may follow bandits into Mexico at
any time.
The other obstacle-villa-may be
eliminated by the Chihuahua City bat
not overlook the disastrous situation
that would follow a Villa victory at
this strategic point. Villa Is an ele-
ment in the situation from the fact
that the withdrawal is conditional
upon conditions remaining satisfac.
tory during the next forty days.
A Villa victory now would upset
all withdrawal plans and create in
tolerable northern Mexican condi-
tions. experts say.
Carranza will probably acquiesce.
1t is thought here, in the light of what
his representatives have been told.
During the past week. the American
members OF the commission have
been bluntly frank in informing the
Mexican group of what consequences
they may expect II they do not meet
American terms.
Chairman Lane, back in town, was
slated TO present the protocol early.
though the presidents illness seem
ed likely to preclude conference to-
day.
The protocol in brief provides for
withdrawal of American troops in
forty days if conditions in northern
Mexico permit, for American pursuit
of bandits if occasion arises; for
separate patrol Of the border by each
nation, with cooperation, if possible.
to be arranged between the respective
commanders; for discussion of in
ternal problems upon reconvening
December 6. Secretary Lane holds
the latter the most vital and insists
significantly that reforms of protec-
ton of American rights, lives and
property must be accomplished by
Mexico either on her own initiative
or with American help-otherwise
evidently by interference.
