BRITISH TROOPS
CONTINUE GAINS
AGAINST ENEMY
Republican A. p. Leased W.rel

The British troops in the region of
Messines are continuing to make gains
at various points against the Germans
who apparently are unwilling to give
battle. Both east and south of Mes
sines fresh advances by Field Marshal
fTaig's forces and capture of important
first line positions are reported. The
new advances in the neighborhood of
the hamlet of Gaspard, which lies di-
rectly east of Messines, and between
the rivers Lys and St. Yves, and east
of the Ploegsteert wood form direct
menace from both the north and the
south to the important town of Warne-
ton and the road leading and eastward
toward Confines.
The artillery duels between the Bel
gians and French and the Germans on
various sectors in Belgium, and near
Steenstraete, LiZerne and Boesinghe
continue unabated. and doubtless these
regions soon will be the scenes of i'm
portant infantry engagements. From
scissors eastward there is still no ac-
tivity by the infantry of the French
and the Germans but the guns of both
sides are keeping up intermittent
bombardments.
Along the front in Russia and Galicia
casionally the Germans and Austrians
are making reconnaissances with small
parties. which generally meet with
hard usage at the hands of Russians.
In the Caucasus region the Kurds have
delivered strong attacks against the
Russians, but all of them were re-
pulsed.
With the abdication of King Con-
stantine of Greece and the departure
of the former monarch, the queen, the
crown prince and the royal encourage
from Athens to embark on a British
warship that will take them to point
from where they can proceed to
Switzerland, the Macedonian theater
holds forth promises of early impor-
tant developments. Additional entente
troops have occupied further strategic
points in Greece, notably Piraeus, the
port of Athens, and also in Thessaly
with the purpose of protecting the
ripening crops.
Meanwhile on the fighting front
along the Graeco- Serbian frontier,
considerable fighting is taking place
J but without any important results

tonic attacks.

WASHINGTON, June IA request
of armed merchant vessels which en-
counter submarines was issued tonight
by the committee on public information.
"A prime concern of the voluntary
censorship imposed upon itself by the
press" said a committee statement,
has been the suppression of the ident-
ity of armed merchant vessels that may
engage in defense encounters with sub
marines. The captains of these vessels
not being a part of the recognized naval
organization of the United States are
outside the protection of laws of war as
the German empire interprets them. In
the event of their capture death would
be their fate. Judicial murder of Cap
tain Fryatt makes clear the German
attitude to these men.
THE peril of the destruction of the
vessels themselves in subsequent voy
ages also issintensified by establishing
the identity as the destroyer of a sub
marine The added danger to the
picked gun crews of fine young Amer
leans is equally apparent.
THE agreement of secrecy was shat
tered last week by cable dispatches
from France naming the Silvershell
as the victor in a submarine combat
The act was unintentional, and the gov
ernment of the United States has since
been assured by the French and British
governments that both will cooperate
in the future for the protection of our
merchant ships and their captains.
"In the case of the encounter of an
other merchantmen with a submarine,
recorded Wednesday, the voluntary
agreement was broken, a New York
evening newspaper printing the name
of the ship and the name of the captain.
In spite of this, all but three of the
morning newspapers of New York City
kept the faith, though aware that in
this particular instance the damage of
publicity was done. The effort was

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO. June 14.-Numer-
Gus articles purported to be fragments

paredness parade here last July, kill
ing ten persons. were introduced by
the state today at the murder trial of
Mrs Rena Mooney. The exhibits in
cluded bullets, empty cartridges, iron
slugs and other bits of metal, some of

Several persons that were wounded
by the bomb identified pieces of metal
as having been taken from their bodies.
Other witnesses testified to the effect
of the explosions and identified metal
fragments they said they had picked up
at the scene.
Throughout today's session Mrs
Mooney appeared listless and for a
while she doZed, a police matrOn prod
ding her into wakefulness.
Late this afternoon Judge Seawell
made a droll remark about the heat of
the room and adjourned court an hour
earlier than usual. The crowd smiled
and Mrs Mooney laughed aloud.

| fled that fifteen minutes after the ex-
plosion on July % he noticed a hole in
the side of building foot or so above
the sidewalk. On a hunt for souvenirs,

after obtaining permission from one of
the employees in the establishment, and
found several pieces of metal. These
were offered in evidence
| Ernest Gianetti testified that while
standing several hundred feet from the
| spot where the explosion occurred a
large piece of metal fell at his feet
second after he heard the report. 1t
also was admitted as evidence.
Samuel Moffet and Alva f. Powell
testified that although they had been
at the scene of the explosion some time
before it occurred they saw no jitney
| bus along Steuart street
The prosecution contends that four
of the five defendants in the bomb
| cases were seen at Steuart and Market
streets in a jitney bus a few minutes
before the explosion.
/ Powell who had the bone in his left
| leg below the knee shattered by mis-
siles, laboriously made his way to the
witness stand with the assistance of a
cane He said he was deaf for ten days
after the explosion and that he was still
"hard of hearing"
| Harry S. Merritt, a broker said he
was at Steuart and Market streets ten

Tested The Dentists Work.

To illustrate Oriental habits OF thought,
Lord Cromer tells, IN the Quarterly Re-
view, this story of Ismail Pasha, the
khedive OF Egypt. II once happened that
Ismail was suffering from toothache. He
sent for a European dentist, who told
him that he ought 10 have the tooth out.
Ismail said that he was afraid it would be
very painful. He was informed in reply
that, if he would allow the dentist to ad-
minister laughing gas TO him, he would
feel nothing. He still doubted, but told
the dentist to bring his apparatus to the
palace and he would then discuss the
question.
The dentist complied, and explained
the process to the khedive. lsmail then
summoned an attendant and told him 10
send up the sentry who was at his door.
When the man arrived the khedive or
dered him to sit down in chair, and re-
quested the dentist to take out tooth on
either side OF his jaw. lsmail then asked
the man whether he had felt anything,
and the man told him that he had not.
But Ismailwas not yet satisfied. He said
that the sentry was young, strong man,
and that he would like to see the expert
ment tried on someone OF weaker ply
sique-
Accordingly he summoned slave grl
from the harem and had the dentist ex-
fist extract two OF her teeth. Finding
that she did not show evidence OF ex-
treme suffering, he then consented to
have his own tooth out. II is related, al
though possibly that part OF the story is
apocryphal, that the dentist then received
an order on the Egyptian treasury for one
thousand pounds.

old before they could lift their bodies from

the importance OF their wings and trusted
implicitly in them; for in running, partic-
ularly to put distance between themselves
and me, they would lift their tiny downy
flapperS and scud along headtrst over
clods and tuSsocks. AS the feathers began
TO come out, they would run more and
more a-tiptoe, until before their wings
were fully feathered they could skim along

inches in the air. II was not until they
were almost three weeks old that they
