FRENCH SCREEN
 FIRE REFUSES
 GERMAN ATTACK

Paris, June 21-A violent attack on the French positions northwest of Rheims was made by the Germans last night at Hill 108 and in the di- rection of Berry-Au-Bac, according to an official statement issued by the war office today. The attack was re- pulsed by the French artillery fire.
 The Germans exploded two mines before launching their infantry against the French trenches. Their repuIse was due, the statement says, to the effectiveness of the French screen fire.
 In the Verdun sector no infantry activity was reported but a mutual bon1bardment was maintained during the night.
 The text of the statement follows:
 South of the Somme. before Mau- court detachrnent of the enemy which attempted to approach our lines was dispersed with rifle fire
 Northwest of Rheims the Ger mans, after exploding two mines, de- 1fvered an attack against the trenches at Hill No. 108, south of Berry-Au-Bac. Checked by our cur l tain of fire. this attack was defeated completely.

Paris, June 21-Mexico is placing it's case before the European public in the form of statements issued by Mexican legations on the continent. Such a statement appeared in Madrid on Monday and similar stateme ent is printed in the French press today from the Mexican legation in Paris It says that reports that war is inevita- ble and that General Carranza's at titude is due to German intrigue came from American sources
 "Imputations against the govern ment of General Carranza,'' it de- clares, "are unwarranted. Mexico has not wished and does not wish war with the United States
 The statement reviews the nego- tiations for permission for American troops to cross *he frontier. to pursue bandits and declares that the inter changes were interrupted by the send ing of an expeditionary corps. constt- tuting a violation of Mexican sover- eighty.
 ''We are authorized to state that 1t is not Mexico which attacks the statement continues. 'Tn ordering General Trevino to prevent American forces from advancing south, east or west, the Mexican government is pure ly defensive This is established from documents in this legation which will be published at an opportune time.''

Washington, June 21- Strong pressure is being brought to bear upon General Carranza by representatives of European powers to prevent him from causing a break with the United States. Indirect re- ports reaching the state depart ment today told of these efforts and said there was a possibility they would be successful.
 Agencies of the entente allies are understood to be active for peace, particularly because they believe German influence has sought to infIame the Mexi- can government against the United States with a view to preventing this country from gathering in trade formerly controlled by Germany in Mex ice, South and Central America.

So far, how ever, no suggestion for such step has come from Mexico. A definite statement has been re- ceived that Carranza is doing all in his power at this time to protect Americans in Mexico from attack by the popuIace.
 MT. Rodgers reported~that he and his diplomatic associates in the Mexican capital had been given every assurance of safe conduct and protection on their trip to the coast if it became necessary for them to leave. The corps of American neWspa- per correspondents there has decided to remain with MT. Rod gers until such time as he may find it necessary to leave.

ternoon. Playing on their home
grounds the Tigers will make the
very best fight they are capable OF
making and beat off the Giants in
what promises to be the very best
game of the preseason exhibitions.
1t is barely possible that the fans

skill, but they will have an oppor-
tunity to see Kauff in action and
may C mpare that with Cobbs rec

he has not yet reached his stride.
but he seemed to be going good at
Dallas Sunday when his homer gave
the Giants a cinch on victory.
That is the only hit Kauff is cred
tied with, but that was enough TO
make the Tigers pitchers leary of
him. The score Sunday was to
2 in favor of the Giants.
The game Saturday was a most
decisive victory for the Tigers by a
score of to 2. In this game Kav-

Preparations are being made for

for grand stand seats have been

turn out to bid farewell to the I'll

game should be one of the best ever
played in Texas. The two teams
are well matched and each of the
managers covets victory.

Jennings bet John a hat that Waxa-

is loyal to the Giants all right, but

Sport Writer Bachelor, who visited
Marlin with the Tigers last Friday,
says "While the hotel where the
Giants live at Marlin is iarsor than
the Tigers home at Waxahachie, the
Jungaleers' camp has it all over New

ed. Children were to enjoy gallery
privileges for two bits. ''.-.
Three or four hundred people Drav
ed the wintry blasts for an afternoon
of harmless diversion, but George
Register and j. Nathan anticipated
their pleasure and lodged formal com.
plant with the authorities undes sec.
ton 1921 of the Revised Code of 1913
which saith: .....
ut shall be unlawful to keep open
or to run or permit the running of any
theatre, show, moving picture shcw
or theatrical performance upon the
first day of the week, commonly called
the Sabbath"
Despite the fact that the concert
was announced Friday evening and
advertised in the papers of Saturday
morning, these defenders of the pub.
lie morals hesitated until three or
four hundred men, women and child.
rem had braved the elements to listen
to the discourse of sweet sounds.
The promoters offered to waive the
admittance fee and allow the sacred
concert to 60 on and depend on a col.
lection. The authorities, however,
upon complaint of Messrs. Nathan
and Register told the management of
the Auditorium to keep the doors
closed and tnete orders were obeyed,
and the citizens with their wives and
families pl0wed through the snow to
cogitate upon the hidden statutes of
the state which periodically serve to
project reformers into the public gaze.
Messrs. Nathan and Register as
sumed all responsibility for tue Sun
day coup which for a time made the
air as blue as the laws for which Con-
necticut was famous several cehlur-
les ago when they punished a cat OF
Monday for Staying a rat on Sunday.
But the concert was given in Bis
marck nevertheless. The law, para
doxical as it may seem, does not pre-
vent sacred concerts from being given
in the churches, even If admission is
charged. When the Welsh singers
found that the law barred them from
the Auditorium, they gave the pro-
gram in the Presbyterian church. No
admission was charged but a gener-
GUS collection rewarded the artistic eff
forts of the troupe.
1t is interesting to know that among
other things, the Sunday law prohib-
its surf bathing in the Missouri riv-
or on the first day OF the week.
There were several in the crowd Sun
day, who. If they could have put their
hands upon Nathan and Register,
would have cracked the ice and frac-
tllred this statute.
