London, July PA Reuter- despatch
from the British front in France, filed
at $3.50 p. m. yesterday, says:
Following a heavy bombardment last
night, British troops and Anzacs attacked
towards Pozieres and Guillemont. De-
spite desperate resistance the Anzaes
succeeded in establishing themselves in
Pozieres, where they are now consolidat-
ing their lines. 1t is reported that the
casualties were comparatively light.

was checked by the heavy machine gun

Either for the Outgoing
Deutschland or Incom-
ing Bremen
DOUBT is FELT
BREMEN is NEAR
Seafaring Men Do Not Be-
lieve She is Near Vir-
ginia Capes

Norfolk Va, July 24.-Only one OF the
allied warships patrolling the Virginia
capes waiting for the Deutschland or
Bremen was in sight to-day. Seafearing
men say the Bremen cannot be anywhere
near the eapes.
Predictions from German sources that
the Bremen would attempt to enter the
capes yesterday were not borne out, but
hope was expressed by persons who ac-
curately predicted the coming of the
Deutschland two weeks ago, that thc
Bremen would appear within day or
two. However, some concern as TO her
whereabouts is being felt.
Daylight yesterday morning found
great four-tacked ship, apparently OF the
French navy, hugging closely to the
three mile limit. As trading vessels be-
gan to move out of the harbor, she
began stopping all of them from friend
ly nations and apparently, interrogating
the crews. Several times small boats
were put off the warship and sent over
TO the halted vessels. An attempt to
get in communication with her from n
tug during the afternoon failed, and
caused her to put far out TO sea.

GREAT BRITAIN "ASToNISHED."
Regarding Insinuation Over American
Mail Seizure.

London, July 24.-The foreign office
has published the text of the note handed
to the American ambassador replying TO
certain American complaints against the
British censorship of mails. The reply
is confined to the few specific allegations
made in the recent American note. 1t
is stated that the formal answer to the
general arguments advanced by the
Washington government is still under
consideration by the allied governments
and will receive reply in due course.
The two principal eases referred to IN
the present memorandum are those OF
the MacNiff Horticultural company of
New York and the Standard Under
ground Gable company OF Pittsburg. The
MacNif company complained OF the loss
of perishabe goods owing to the deten-
tion by the censor OF shipping docu-
ments relating thereto.
The British government states that as
soon as the matter was brought to Its
attention it arranged to have a special
mail for shipping papers which would be
Immediately censored, so that no delay
would occur.
In the case of the Cable company it is
sbdleu lHdb the SONtl huiSHb Vi tht 1hib-
ed States appeared to insinuate that the
delay in the mail of the Cable company
was directly connected with the fact;
that British competitor had obtained a
contract for which that company had
been rendering"
His majesty's government" the note
continues, sis astonished that such an in.
situation should be made, especially as
the complaint from the Cable company |
appears not TO have been adequately ex-
ahmed.
The memorandum goes on to show in
considerable detail that the tenders for
the contracts referred to must have
passed between the United States and
Norway on date prior to that upon
which the censorship of Scandinavian
mails began. After detailing other cases,
the note continues:
"The specific complaints do not support
the general charge against the efficiency
of the British censorship. His
majesty's government will always be
ready to explain in detail the working
of censorship as there is nothing re-
garding it which they wish to conceal
Many complaints when examined proved
to arise from badly directed letters, the
irregular sailing of neutral mailboats and
other causes entirely outside the con-
troll of his majesty's government and are
often due to the action of enemies" [
