THE LAST WORD IN
 SCIENTIFIC WARFARE
British Operations Against Germans Showing French Something New in
 Offensive Movements.

Paris, July 1.-The plan of opera tions which is being used by the Brit ish troops on the French front, and which the French seem to be adopt ing, is the Hast word in scientific war fare," according to a French officer who has been in close touch with op- erations since the beginning of the war. He said:
 The nocturnal expeditions of Brit ish patrolling parties into German first-line trenches, which seem to many of the uninitiated as without result, became the essential feature of the attack on lines fortified as those held by the Germans on this front The first thing in order is the destruction by heavy artillery of the concrete shelters, perfected with con- summate science. The second is to reconnoitre and make sure that the destruction is complete, for a single machine gun left intact under a shel- ter can alone stop an infantry assault The third is the destruction of the barbed wire defenses, and it is only then that infantry can be prudently ordered to attack.
 
 sOlute assurance of the first object at tained is to go to the spot, and in these operations British troops are showing the Germans, as well as the French, something new in the tac tics of siege operations. Personally I think important results will be ob- tained.'
 The sporting aspect of these raids and the indefniteness of the results thus far made known have puzzled the public, which expected rapid de- velopments. Military experts caution against the hope of immediate and sweeping success, as the demolition of defense works is a long operation, and must be effected over a wide front before an advance can. be under taken.
 It is calculated that S0,000 shots from field guns are required to make sufficient breaches in barbed wire de- lenses to permit a single army corps to go through, while the fire of the heavier guns, necessary to leVel trenches and destroy concrete shel- ters and machine guns, is far more extensive

kOLOMEA FALLS ID
 THE CZAR'S TROOPS
Important Railroad Center in BukOWina Gathered Into the Net

London, July 1.-The announce ment that the Russians had captured Kolomea, Galicia, reached London early today in a laconic special com- munication from Petrograd. This communication merely said:
 We have taken KOlomea. the most important railway center in the Buko- wina region"
 The importance of Kolomea is ob vious. The army which holds the town not only has cleared BukOWina of the Austrians, but is planted on the flank of the Austro-G German cen- tral force in @ position which may make complete encouragement of their line inevitable, according to military observers.
 General Count VOn BOthmer has been maintaining his position eser since the Russian offensive began, and had been heavily reinforced by the Austro-German high command in the belief that if his position on the center held firm the Austian defeats in the south might be retrieved. Now suddenly his right flank has been de-

 Cornen takes this action because of allegations that he had not correctly administered some funds of St. Ste phens Episcopal church, although it is understood that this matter is now closed and there will be no action.
 A inquiry had been under way re- lating to an item of about $8,00O which was to have been used by the church, of which Cornen was the parish treasurer, for a new building and parsonage. This item has been satisfactorily adjusted, it is under stOOd
 Roland Gilbert has been appointed town clerk and he will call in an out side judge of probate when necessary and until an election is held.

feated, and, in the belief of the Brit ish military experts, it will be vir- tually impossible for General VOn BOthmer to remain where he is any longer, for the Russians command, or at all events threaten. his communica- tions and his whole right flank is at their mercy.
 If General Von Bothmer falls back toward emberg, the military observ- CTS say, his whole line must be re- arranged further west. Then, they say the question arises, will the Rus sians allow this serious operation without inficting further grave loss es? They add that it is becoming in creasingly evident that the great cap ture of men, munitions, and stores by the Russians are a greater loss to the Austrians and Germans than even the extensive progress the Russians have made in Austrian territory be- cause the lack of immediately avail able men, munitions, and stores is cap to any encouragement of the Aus likely to prove a tremendous hand1- tro-German lines.
