MEXICANS ARE LIBERAL
GIVERS TO RED CROSS

El Paso, Tex, July 6.--When the
Red Cross drive was made here for
the $100,000,000 war fund the most
surprising development of the cam
paign was the attitude taken by the
Mexican residents of FL Paso and
Juarez.
AS soon as an appeal was made to
the Mexican people for subscriptions
to the Red Cross fund they gave and,
in many cases. gave literally. Cruz
Roja'--Red Cross-Was all that was
necessary for the canvassers to say to
obtain a donation to the war fund.
Many Mexican laborers gave all the
money they had and small shop keep
ers in the Mexican district gave as
literally as the American store keep
ers.
The finest spirit shown toward the
Red Cross campaign. however, was
in Juarez There a committee or

and obtained more than 5000 for the

Grown Princes Surprise Party
Is Failure Largely on Account
of French Colonel's Initiative

to the Casematsson plateau, 1000
yards westward, the greater part of
two German divisions joined in the
attack.
Their artillery, owing to the close
proximity of the French and Ger
.man lines, was unable to play on the
French front line from fear of hit
ting their own men. The French
gunners, more accurate in firing,
managed to shower shells on the
German trenches.
Several strong detachments of
German infantrymen, notwithstand-
ing the severity of the French can
nonading, succeeded in crossing the
intervening space and obtained a
footing in the French trenches at a
few points. The defenders, COM
posed of regiments from southern
France, who had originally captured
the position, were determined to
maintain their hold. They immedi-
ately counter-attacked and every
where elected the Germans. They
then impetuously advanced and oc-
cupied several German trenches
which they still hold.
The whole action. here as at other
points in this battle on the eleven
Hhle front, was not mere tTeHCH
raid but a carefully planned attempt
by the Germans to reconquer Chem
in -des-D Danes, to the loss of which
they cannot reconcile themselves. The
nature of the attack is proved by the
fact that the German infantrymen
carried into battle. their whole equip
ment and several days rations and

SHEPPARD, PROHIBITTONIST,
YIELDS TO THE PRESIDENT

Washington. July EN- what was
regarded as the first real test OF
strength between senate "wets' and

SO to "a, food bill amendment by
Senator Myers to prohibit manufac.
ture of beer and vinous beverages
along with distilled liquors.
Adoption of the Cummins amend
ment somewhat complicated the stu.
alton. The leaders said that should
the senate adopt the Robinson substi-
tute, the Cummins amendment would
not be effective unless again adopted.
Senator Stone gave notice that he
would move to reconsider the Cum
Minis amendment and the vice presi-
dent ruled that such motion would
be in order at any time before the
bill was finally voted on in commit
tee of the whole.
Senator Myers then offered an
amendment to the Robinson substi-
tute SO as to cover beer and wine as
we'll as distilled liquors. That brought
to q head the controversy over Presi-
dent Wilson's suggestion that beer and
wine be excepted so as to expedite
passage of the bilf
Senator Pittman declared certain
senators were voting for prohibition
as an excuse to filibuster and kill the
bill and he said he would vote against
the prohibition proposals in order to
get a cloture rule to force the bill
through. In reply Senator Norris as
serted that no filibuster was contem-
plated. Referring tA the senate ag-

French Front in France, July
DELAYED. personal initiative, com
bined with bravery and tenacity, won
for the French splendid victory
when the Germans attempted last
Tuesday night to retake Chemin-des
Danes by furious attack. The
commanding general, after inspecting
the entire eleven-mile line where the
battle occurred, declared to the As
sociated Press today:
The German crown prince had ar
ranged a surprise party for us in Or
der to offset the Russian victory In
Galicia, but knocked at the wrong
door and received disagreeable re-
ception.."
Before the enemy's attack began,
an uncanny silence reigned along this
famous road where the hostile armies
are facing each other at close quar-
ters. Suddenly the German bonn
bardment opened and its intensity
the French general as be-
ing greater than he ever before ex-
perienced on the Somme or Verdun
or in Champagne, where he had TAX
en- part In all the battles since the be-
ginning of hostilities.
The shell smoke was thick and the
fumes from poisonous and lachry-
NOSE shells SO heavy 1t was impos-
sible to take observations. The
French general attempted to COM
municate with his battalion and ar
tillery commands, but the wires had
been broken by projectiles. Then. to
his astonishment, he saw his own ar
tillery without awaiting orders, open
a barrage fire. He learned later that
his artillery colonel, suspecting some
thing was about to occur. had gone to
a much exposed listening post be-
tween the opposing trenches and
from this vantage point, observed
an unusual activity in the German
lines. The colonel therefore ordered
a curtain of fire directed In front Of
the Germans.
Meanwhile, the French infantry in
the first line swept the German
front lines with rifle fire and hand
grenades while the French trench
mortars worked as never before. The
German infantrymen who could be
seen waiting with bayonets fixed, now
found 1t impossible to leave their
trenches and go over the top. At this
