Remmert Applies For Citizenship;
Finds He is Subject of Kaiser

Remmert peutioned for naturalization
and the board, regarding the officer
as a sincere American although tech
nically not a citizen. decided to take
no action against Remmet, realizing
that he would soon qualify himself as
a citizen. Under the state law it is
unnecessary for a police officer to be
an American citizen.
Chief Goodwin states that Remmert
has made a good record as police
officer and that he believes the board
is justified in its action in permitting
him to continue in active service until
he qualities as a citizen.

NEW YORK, June ao.-Germany

trieve on the French front an inn
pending disaster on the British front.
With the fall OF Lens apparently
now only matter OF days, the
Crown Prince has once more been
intrusted with picked troops and
prodigal supplies of ammunition to
direct drive on verdun.
Officlal statements reveal that
this stroke is OF tremendous power.
Despite the concentrated fury OF the
attack. the German gain--a little
ground on the west slope OF Dead
Mans Hill--has been disproportion-
ate 10 the losses in men and ex-
pendlture OF munitions. This is at
least the fourth major offensive op-
Grafton which has been undertaken
against Verdun-and the fourth
time the initial smashes were
checked.
Field Marshal Haig has been very
chary of details of the British CD
erations around Lens, but today he
revealed the full extent of the en-
circling move. The British adj
vanced mile deep over four miles
of front. The official statement did
not mention the particular location
OF this advance. but II appears cor
tain that the British troops have by
now almost reached the city limits
of the French coal metropolis.
OF secondary interest Is n con-
tinuation of the German drive along
the Chemin des Danes. II is mani
festly designed to relieve the In
creasing French pressure around
Laon, base city OF the Hindenburg
line. The French statement records
failure OF the general attack.
LONDON. June 30.-with irresfst-
ible force. British troops swept on
closer around Lens today. Gain OF
mile over total front of four
miles was reported by Field Marshal
Haig
"As the result OF our attacks" ne
said. strongly organized defensive
systems on both banks OF the Sou
chez river covering Lens were cap
tured.

ed with slight loss and with consid-
erablo enemy casualties.
