VULNERABLE POINT OF GERMAN FRONT
 OBJECT OF ATTACK
Continued from Page One)

suggestions through the German and Austrian chancellors
 The possibilities of the new offensive produced the suggestion today that if the allied front could be extended to the Dutch frontier the Netherlands government might join the allies, Re cent reports from neutral sources have indicated the Germans feared some such action by their little neighbor. In that connection, it has been noted that numerous small German steamers lying in Dutch waters since the out break of war have been captured or destroyed recently while attempt ing to return to Germany, and that several divisions of German troops have been reported massed along the Dutch frontier.
 Some officers believe a great part of the German success heretofore has been due to the fact that the allies have been forced to accept the type of warfare which the German high command elected. When the Germans early in the war fell back to the Aisne and dug themselves in, the 9 lilies followed suit and the opportunity for further operations was lost
 There are officers who believe that with the allies greater forces they could be certain of fairly quick sue cess if trench fighting could be aban- doned for the shift and strategy of field operations.
 The Germans these officers say, also know this, and have no intention. if they can help, of permitting any change in the battle scheme they have forced upon their enemies.

prefaced the entente allied attack worked havoc in the German lines and undoubtedly caused a heavy loss Of life
 The German front line trenches were smashed to pieces entirely and the wire ertanglements before them were torn away. The British and French went into battle under cover of what was perhaps the greatest barrage fire seen during the war.
 The great guns of the allies opened up at the appointed time and for hours hurled an avalanche of shells in- to the enemy territory with drum fire intensity.
 A large number of tanks which were in the attack are reported to have done invaluable work during these trying stages of the battle.
 The entente allies are facing a large concentration of German artillery and fresh groups of men which were rushed up as soon as it became apparent some time ago that an offensive was con templated in this region. In the last few days Crown Prince Ruppecht of Bavaria has replaced many of his old divisions with fresh troops and others are being held in reserve
 The entente allies. however. have a great prepondrance in artillery, which is the vital factor. Another thing most important to the British and French is that they recently have established complete superiority in aerial service, upon which the artillery work is de- pendent.
 The British naturally have made great concentrations of guns and men for this offensive. and the French troops are cooperating with them with their usual valor It is known that the | morale of the German troops along this front is not up to the old standard, but they still are strong and a desper ate battle is raging.

J. $. DESTROYERS DRIVE OFF GERMAN
 UNDERSEA CRAFT
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

AMERICAN NAVAL BASE IN
 BRITISH WATERS, July 31.-Ameri-
 can destrOyers today reported having
 engaged two submarines simultane-
 ously six miles distant, causing both
 of them to speed away and submerge
 without firing shot-typical of the
 behavior of submarines when they see
 destroyers.
 One of the submarines had just sunk
 a steamer by gunfire; the second was attacking a merchantmen when the destroyer opened fire. The second submarine, which is described as su-
 per submarine, almost as long as a
 destroyer, raced off and submerged at the first shot, but the other, which ' had sunk the steamer, displayed un- usual boldness, remaining up several minutes while the destroyer dropped shells around her. Only when shell splashed within 25 vars of the sub marine did she submerge, according to the crew of the steamer who watched the attack from small boat close and who later were rescued by the destroyers and brought here. A French tanker bound for America limped into port today with 30 foot hole in her bow as a result of fight with a submarine. The tanker was attacked twice. In the first, early in the voyage, she easily beat off the submarine and reached a point 400 miles toward America. She was then attacked by another submarine, the shells of which. despite the stout re- sistance of the tanker's gunners, shat tered the pilot house, smashed the
 compass, and tore gaping hole below 1 the water line. The tanker began to , settle and the crew abandoned the
 ship, the submarne disappearing. The
 crew rowed away in rough sea, but | later, surprised that the tanker did not sink, returned to her and man aged, without bearings, to bring her | to port.

GUN HAS BARRELS
 ON TOP EACH OTHER

A prominent gun manufacturer in England has recently produced a double barreled shotgun having one barrel above the other. instead of the two being side by side, says Popular Mechanics. This arrangement, it is claimed, offers considerable advantage in aiming, for the hunter is not con- fused by a barrel either side the line of aim. The breadth of the double barrel is reduced by more than one half, thus permitting the game to be seen up to the moment of firing.
 The fore end of the stock is so fash

GROWS WEEDS ONLY
 AS A. MAKESA|F7

Weeds are natures makeshift, says John Burroughs. She rejoiceS in the grass and the grain but when these fail to cover her nakedness she re- sorts to weeds It is in her plan or a part of her economy to keep the ground constantly covered with vegetation Of some sort, and she has layer upon layer of seeds in the soil for this purpose. and the wonder is that each kind lies dormant until it is wanted. If I uncover the earth in any of my fields ragweed and pigweed spring up if these are destroyed harvest grass or quack grass, or purslane appears. The spade or the blow that turns these under is sure to turn up some other goosefoot The soil is a storehouse of variety, as chickweed, sheep sorrel, or seeds

 SALONIKI. Greece, July 31.-Private reports received here state that many thousands of Serbian civilian and sol- dier prisoners in Austria Hungary have perished from typhoid fever. other diseases or famine in the con centration camps or while laooring behind the Austro- Italian battle lines, according to a Reuter- correspondent. He quotes "a person of position who has closely followed the lives of Serb ian prisoners as asserting:
 At the concentration camp Of Matthausen in Hungary 12,00O prls- oners died of typhoid fever and other contagious illnesses. At Nazymager between 10000 and 12,000 succumbed from the same causes, while at Hein- esgruene in Bohemia there only re- main a few thousand survivors who are suffering from tuberculosis.
 The largest number of prisoners. interned at Cachack, exceed 10000 and form the center of the labor sup ply for the Italian front. Every fort night a special train brings back from the Italian front exhausted wound ed Serbian laborers and returns with fresh contingents. In the course of the last six months over 10000 Serbians died in this locality alone.
 When taken from fatigue duty the men rush like famished beasts to the refuse heaps and ravenously seize bones and other scraps of food witt which to satisfy their hunger. The unfortunate prisoners are frightfullN emaciated from prolonged famine, arc clad in rags. and wander about like ghosts"
