ians continue to advance against the
Austrians in the Trentino region.
Struggle Is Severe.
The struggle for the possession OF
the Thiaumont work, taken by the
German crown princes forces from
the French a week ago, was most
severe, the position changing hands
several times. :,
Violent bombardments have marked
the fighting on the remainder OF the
front around Verdun, particularly on
the sector of Hill 304.
The British are keeping up their
tactics of destroying by artillery tire
German first and second line trenches
from Ypres to the Somme. gnotti-
cially it is reported that the British
are expanding more than million
shells day in this work.
In addition to the capture OF 10
lomea, the Russians also have taken
the town of Obertine, northeast OF
Kolomea, and several other villages
north and south of that point.
On the front in Russia, from the
Galician border to the region of Riga,
there have been battles at various
points, but with no decisive results.

BRITISH TAKE STRIP
Campaign in Darfur Adds 160-
900 Square Miles to the
Domain Of the Lion.
BULL OF BULLS LOSES OUT
Correspondence Of Tho Associated Press.)

Correspondence Of The Associated PressJ
Khartum, Sudan, June l5.--The
brilliant little campaign in Darfur
which ended with the defeat by the
British trops Of Sultan Ali Dinar on
May d, will bring under British do
main about 100000 square miles of
territory inhabited by population
estimated at between 100000 and
100000. Descendants of the Sultan
Mohammed have ruled in the country
for approximately 400 years. Until
1874 Darfur was entirely independent,
but then it was conquered by the no.
torious slave-dealer Zobeir Pasha,
who carried on savagely-cruel rule
of terror over the natives under the
nominal suzerainty of Egypt for ten
years until he was ousted by the
Mahdi. AT that time Slatin Pasha, the
Austrian-Egyptian, was the official
representative of the Egyptian gov
eminent.
When the Anglo British forces later
subdued the Mahdi and brought the
Sudan back into Egyptian possession
Sultan Ali Dinar, who had been con-
fined for several years in one Of the
Mahdi's loathsome jails, was placed
on the throne and he governed his
people with all the savagery of All
uncivilized estatern potentate, at the
same time maintaining friendly rela-
tons with the Anglo-Egyptian au-
thorities at Cairo.
+ Bull OF Bulls.
The Bull of Bulls" which, is one Of
the titles OF the sultan OF Darfur, APP
parently thought the time had come
when the world war broke out to
display his strength, and he gathered
considerable army of tribesmen on
the frontier of his territory with the
intention, it was understood, of ad-
vancing on Egypt, which he had
heard was weakly defended and at
his mercy.
This assemblage of warriors soon
came to the notice OF the Anglo
Egyptian staff, and a mobile column
was Immediately organized to meet
any advance. The British officer in
command eventually came to the con-
clusion, when he discovered how we'll
armed the native forces were, that it
would be advisable to strike the first
blow. The British column thereupon
took the offensive with the result that
the natives were put to flight after a
severe engagement in which they lost
thousands of killed and wounded. A
fighting aeroplane took part in the
engagement and afterwards scattered
the fugitives fleeing with their sultan
to the hills.
Considerable discussion is proceed
ing here as to the future government
Of Darfur, in which subject the
French also are interested, as the ter
ritory adjoins their Sudanese posses
sions. The prevalent idea is that a
British resident will be appointed and
that member of the former ruling
family may be placed on the throne
as nominal ruler.
Most of the inhabitants of Darfur
are of mixed Arab and negro race,
but there are numerous pure Arabs
and pure negroes and liberal in
fusion of tribesmen from other parts
Of Africa. Many of the people are
quite peaceful camel and cattle own
ers and there is considerable COM
mercial intercourse between them and
the Immediately adjacent countries.

War is Reflected in Display of
Fireworks For Sale for Fourth

The war is reflected in the nature
OF many of the fireworks and noise
producers offered. A small cannon.
modelled after the famous French
seventy-fve millimeter gun, will re-
place the cap pistol in the hearts OF
many youngsters.
The usual line of hrecrackers, Rom
an candles, rockets, torpedoes, bal
looms, sparklers and other devices is
offered at prices about the same as
last year.
1t is very difficult to obtain cannon
crackers larger than the three and
one-half Inch limit. Dealers say there
is no longer much demand for the
giant variety, prohibited by law.
Blank cartridge pistols, dynamite caps
and canes are also not prominent on
the market, their use being prohibited
by both state law and city ordinance.
Perhaps the widest development
during the year is in the way of cap
pistols. Several varieties of automatic
and repeating pistols are offered, In
GLIDING one modelled along the lines
of the familiar automatic pistol, and
which fires caps as fast as the owner
OF the toy can pull the trigger.

Johnnys fear that warning powers
might burn up the available supply OF
gunpowder and doom him to an abso-
lutely noiseless Fourth is groundless.
Fireworks are plentiful, dealers say.
and while the variety is perhaps not
as large as in former years, the small
boy will be able to make life hideous
as long as his DO textbook holds out.
Yesterday was the first big day OF
sales for the fireworks dealers. Most
of the purchases were being made by
children ranging from 6 to II years
old, and the girls were almost as
numerous as the boys.
The novelty which seems meeting
widest sale is a pasteboard dread
naught about twelve inches long, and
which is equipped to hold eight FIRE
crackers, all OF which are exploded
at once, with disastrous results to the
ship.
One Of the newer ideas is a model
airship, the largest size offered being
seventy-hve inches long, and which is
inflated in the same manner as the
ordinary hot-air balloon. These cost
81 each, and not many are in stock.
