.l1ODAYSPRELUDE
TO S0MME FIGHT
Cameras, Big Guns, Bal
looms, Aeroplanes All
Paved the Way.

Paris. July 20.-In paying tribute to
the elderly Breton troops for their
sturdy fighting qualities at the battle
of the Somme, the French official OBJ
server states that four months were
consumed in preparation for the at
tack.
He adds that after the enemy's front
had been cleared of observation bal
looms and aircraft, French aeroplanes
made a complete Photographic survey
of the whole front every day so that
each evening a map was drawn showing
the state of the enemy's trenches and
the progress made in their destruction.
The result of the artillery fire was
checked up carefully every hour, and
it was principle not to start an in
fantry attack except on favorable
ground. Every variety of gun has its
special work to do. Some sweep away
the barbed wire, others destroy
trenches, and still others deal with
the assembiages of enemy troops.
OF the Breton reservists, the report
says: "They dashed at the Germans
with the spirit of young men. Many
times in this war they have distin-
guished themselves, but it was DIM
cult to imagine that these men of such
calm aspect could transform themselves
into impetuous troopers and rush at
the enemy with all the fire of youth.
The extraordinary resources of their
temperament had not been fully re-
allied before.
1.-THE general in chief already had
declared that these men had proved
there is no difference between the reg
ulars and the reservists. This is shown
by the fact that these veterans marched
like the recruits of the youngest class.
At 9 O'Clock they started forward, sing
ing the 'Marseillaise.' and at $3.50 they
dashed TO the attack, with their sec
tions aligned as though on dress
parade"

SAYS COUNT KAR0LYI
Sole Duty, He Now Says, Is to
Defend the Country.

Berlin, July 2O.-Count Michael Ka-
rolyi, member of the Hungarian Lower
House Of Parliament, has been made
president of a new independent party.
In his opening speech, according to the
Overseas News Agency, he said:
an order to avoid Misunderstanding
it is necessary TO emphasize the fact
that there are no differences of opinion
in Hungary as TO our sole duty, which
is to defend the country without dis
cussing reasons. inasmuch as it was at
tackled by the enemy"
II was reported from Budapest on
July Is that Count Karolyi had re-
signed the presidency Of the Hungarian
Independent party and would form a
new party which would demand imme-
diate peace between Hungary and its
enemies, with or without the consent of
Germany and Austria.

pathian passes and preparing the WY
for the infantry 10 move upon the
plains Of Hungary, to the north the
great battle for the possession of Kovel
and Lemberg has reached its second
stage.
With the Lutsk salient wiped out and
the Teutonic armies forced to retire
beyond the Stokhod and Lipa rivers,
General Brussiloff is concentrating all
his attention toward the successful
launching blow in this region.
Along the Lipa and Stokhod the bat
tie still RACES furiously, with success
see-sswing first with one side and then
with another. The astonishing rapidity
Of Brussilof's assaults, the elasticity
with which he is able to strike sud-
denly at points widely distant, is be-
wildering the enemy's forces so that
their resistance is becoming less and
less organized.
Raids Net Many Prisoners.
Both here and along the Stokhod
frequent raids are netting the Russians
many prisoners and vast booty. The
roads leading from the rear Of the Rus
sian lines are reported choked with
enemy captives on the way to concen-
tration camps and with Russian supply
wagons bearing TO the front immense
quantities OF ammunition for the re-
newed drive.
General Sakharoff, in front Of Brody,
across the Galician border. and Cen
eral Kaledines, pounding at the Teuton
lines in the direction Of Sokal, to the
west, are both reported slowly working
their way forward and consolidating
their newly won positions so strongly
that Austrian and German counter as
saults have been unable to regain lost
ground.
Germans Mass at Kovel.
Before Kovel the Germans have con-
centrated nearly 100000 men under
General Won Nackensen, according to
stories told by captured German troops.
Once over the Stokhod, or in posses
sion OF Vladimir-Volynski. the Rus
slams will face one of the greatest
tasks of their offensive in the batter
ing down of the defences of this town.
Berlin reported several successes for
Teuton arms to-day. Near Barano-
vichi, according to the official state
ment, the Russians were elected from
their advanced positions, as we'll as at
a. II sL
Southwest of Lutsk the Germans
Russian attacks southeast Of Riga were
repulsed.
Artillery Duels on Dvina.
To-night's Russian statement says:
"At some places on the Dvina front
there have been very heavy artillery
duels. Artillery engagements also
have occurred at several points in Vol
hynia. Enemy artillery has energeti-
cally bombarded our positions in the
region OF Zweniatoni, east of Goro-
hoya, and our lines further southeast
along the Lipa and the Styr rivers"
An earlier statement read:
"On July Is seventeen enemy aero
planes made a raid on the station at
Zamiren, northeast OF Baranovichi.
Twenty-seven bombs were thrown
upon the hospital and lazaretto. Three
persons on the medical staff were
killed and five other men injured. OF
