Berlin, June Via London
French positions over a front of about
1000 yards northeast of Scissors
were captured by the Germans in a
surprise attack yesterday, the war
office announces. The statement says
Portuguese soldiers were taken pris-
oners by the Germans on the western
front.
The artillery duel in the Wyts-
chaete bend on the Belgian frontier
which became violent Thursday in
creased in intensity yesterday, the
statement adds.
The statement reads:
western theater: Army group of
Crown Prince Rupprecht-the artil-
lery fighting activity in the Wyts-
Chaete bend increased as it did on
the preceding days.
con the Arras front the firing was
intense, especially near Lens and on
the north bank of the river SCarpe.

number of prisoners, some of whom
were Portuguese.

Cadorna Forces His Troops
Nearer to Triest, Guilty.
ing Defense Cut Off.
BRITISH BOMB
GERMAN BASES
Germans Renew Attack on
Aisne Front-Cossacks
Are Strong For War.
BY ASSOCIATED PREsa.

General Cadorna has set his effec-
tive military machine in motion again
his report today showing a renewal
of the Italian thrust in the direction
of Trieste.
The new advance was scored on a
two and a half mile front south of
CastagnavizZa, along which the Ital-
lans pushed something like a quar-
ter of a mile nearer their goal. The
process of hemming in Dunno, on the
coast to the south, an important out
lying defense of Trieste, is in pro-
gress over this immensely difficult
ground on the CarsO plateau.
The Germans are showing a dispo-
siti0n to continue their attacks on
the Aisne front. They announce to-
day the capture by surprise of a
French position about 1 900 yards long
northeast of scissors. In reporting
this engagement last night the Paris
war office declared the Germans
were expelled from all but a few
elements of the advanced trenches in
which they had gained a fOothold.
British bombs were again dropped
by the ton last night uSon German
bases along the Belgian coast. This
was the second successive night IN
which extensive bombing operations
were carried out by aircraft against
Ostend and Bruges and also Ze-
brugge, one of the chief German sub
marine bases. An intensive ad ays-
tematic destructive effort apparently
is being made.
This aerial activity on the entente
side in Belgium is coupled with ar
increasingly violent artillery battle
in the Ypres district. No infantry
movements aside from British raids
in force, however, have yet developed
on the Belgian front.
The taking of more than 1870
prisoners on the FrancO-Belgia1
front during May, together with thre,
guns, 211 machine guns and othe
war material is claimed in the Ger
man official statement.

LIQUORCHARGE
JESSIE HOLLAND Is CHARGED
WITH BUYING LIQUOR FOR
SAILOR IN UNIFORM; BLUE
JACKET WAS A GUARD.

Jessie Holland, 30 years old, resid-
ing at 621 West Intendencia, on the
charge of selling liquor to sailors,
was arrested by United States Mar
shall Jas. B. rerkIns at o'clock yes
terday afternoon at the police station
and Immediately was presented for
arraignment before United States
Commissioner J. J. Sullivan, and re-
manded to the Escambia county Jail
under a bond of $3.50. Being unable
to give this security, he was locked
up in jail, and will probably be given
preliminary hearing Monday.
Holland was first sent to the city
jail by Officer Saccaro on Complaint
of a seaman guard nc1ned E. PERRIN,
who maintained that Holland had
furnished liquor to a seaman named
Mitchell, the latter having given
half a dollar to Holland a civilian,
to buy the liquor. Mitchell was very
intoxicated, and it was about an
hour before he could make an intel
ligible statement, He then informed
Lieut.. Smith and Ensign Osborn that
he had furnished the money "to a
civilian, and had been furnished the
liquor" He was not asked to iden-
tifv the man who bought and gave
him the liquor.
1t seems that PERRIN, who was one
of the marine guards in the city
noted the condition of Mitchell and
watched to ascertain where his sup
ply of liquor came from. The arrest
of the civilian and detention of the
sailor followed.
Captain of Police Cusachs called
