AUTO ROADS TO INDIAN MOUNDS
Mankato, Mimi, July 15.-A chain
OF historic Indian battle grounds,
which now stretch through peaceful
Minnesota farm lands, will soon be
reached by automobile.
The Sioux Indian Historical Trail
association, which met recently at

Smelling and wind through the Mis-
sissippi river valley. passing the
battle fields which marked the bloody
Sioux outbreak of 1862 when 500
settlers were slain.

Mankato, where SO Indians were
hanged; New Ulm, where two battles
were fought and Birch Coolee. Red
wood Falls and other places farther
west. 4

London, July 15.-The Germans
have crossed the Marine at several
places in their offensive begun this
morning. according to advices re-
ceived here.
The main attack, it is added, seems
to be in the Champagne.
The advices to this effect came to
the Central News.
Developments Satisfactory.
The feeling in London on the stu
alton following the German attack in
France is that developments are quite
satisfactory.
r The German attack in the new Of
fensive began in the region of Vaux
after a bombardment with gas and
high. explosive shells. according to the
Exchange Telegraph company's ad-
vices from Paris. The American ar
tillery replied with barrage fire. There
was also a heavy bombardment in the
region of Jaulgonne, on the Marine.
Reports up to 1890 O'Clock this
morning, the Exchange Telegraph ad-
vices state, show the situation to be
held in hand.
Huns After Rheims.
The immediate objective Of the
Germans. it is considered here, prob
ably is to detach Rheims by attacking
on both sides of it Inc capturing the
hills which would protect their right
flank on a further advance southwark.

British Improve Positions.
London, July 15.-In an operation
carried out last night the British
positions south Of Villers-Bretonneux
in the region east of Amiens, we're
improved, the war Office announced
today. A few prisoners were taken.
. The enemy artillery displayed ac-
tivity in the region south Of Arras.
and on the Flanders front, north of
Bethune and in the Locre and Dick
enbusch sectors.
The British attack in Flanders
yesterday, the statement shows, was
launched on q front of 1000 yards
in the neighborhood Of the Ridge
Wood in the Dickebusch sector. The
attack took the enemy by surprise
and was successful, all the detectives
being gained. Not all of the ma
terial captured has yet been col
lected."

Employment Of heavy artillery to
batter towns and communication lines
far beyond the defense lines, indicates
that the delayed grand offensive has
been opened. The object Of the
bombardment is to harass the move

that he is ready to keep up the as

Just whore the main force of the

Aisne front is at Chateau-Thierry

line. Presumably the main objective
in this assault is some place to the
east Of that point which lies on the
direct road to Paris. It is regarded
as possible that the purpose of the
attack Is to widen still further the
Aisne salient by the reduction of
Rheims and the forcing back of the
whole southern extremity of the 1918
battle-area. A previous attack on
Rheims was halted in its tracks by
French and Italian troops and that
place is now the center Of a greatly
increased assault. In some quarters
