WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
Aug. s, 2:3O p. m.-German re-
sistence is stiffening all along the
Vesle.
French patrols which crossed at
several points, bearing machine
guns and large supplies Of grenades
reported there are indications that
the enemy still has large forces
across the river.
The Germans are employing
artillery freely to harrass the allied
troops.
Maizon. five miles west Of
Rheims was hotfy disputed but the
Germans were pushed back and the
French sent three small forces
across the river there. At Vauter
farm violent fighting occurred but
the Germans were unable to re-
capture it.
North Of the Vesle LAGRANGE
farm was mined and blown up by
the Germans. French artillery
heavily shelled a large concentra-
ton Of Boche troops in the region
of St. Thierry.
The Germans, it was indicated
by official and United Press staff
dispatches today, make stronger re-
sistence along the Vesle river line
than has been expected.
Although the allies have estab-
lished bridgeheads at Fismes.
Bazoches and Jonchery and are
moving inward from the TANKS

office reported that elsewhere
strong resistance has been en-
countered above the river.
Al the same time dispatches from

German artillery had opened the most
violent fire in the last two days.

ROTTERDAM, March 22.-In the
absence of the text of President
Wilson'S proclamation directing the
seizure of Dutch ships in American
harbors, crowds gathered Thursday
around bulletin boards to read of the
action. Mingled anger and bewflder-
ment were evident among the
watchers.
Speaking of the seizure, the Nieuw
Rotterdamsche Courant says:
"The American government has
seized another's goods. The action
is a stain on the United States his
tory that will be uneffaceable for de-
cades The Dutch will bear the
blow with dignity, which is the small

side. He called to him and receiving
no reply, Mr.. Turner went at once to
his assistance but life was extinct. An
inquest was held Wednesday and a
verdict that the death was from nat
ural causes was decided by the jury.
Mr.. Miller had been in his usual health
during the day and had been in the
best of spirits.
James Edward Miller came to this
vicinity from Indiana when he was five
years of age and located in Sonora,
where he lived several years and with
the exception Of four years that he
spent in Nebraska. he has lived in
Sonora and this city. He was united
in marriage to Mary Cordela Brown
in Nebraska. Mr.. Miller would have
been sixty-seven years of age June 5.
In death he is survived by his widow,
two sons, Joseph and George, and a
daughter, Mrs. Huldah Lanam, who
was last heard from in Indiana OW-
ing to the relatives not being able to
locate Mrs. Lanam, the time of the
funeral has not been decided on at
this time. A few weeks ago Mrs. Mil
Ter received the sad news that her
sister had been killed by an automO-
bile at Des Moines, Iowa and the sud-
den death Of her husband has added
still more sorrow in this home. Mr..
Miller had been a cripple for many
years and had worked hard his entire
life.
In 1908 Mr. and Mrs Miller buried
their eldest son Benjamin, who was a
young man at the time of his death
and their life has had it's share of
hardships and sorrow. In the bereave-
ment that has entered this home the
family has the sympathy of the com
munity.
