hAIG DEALS BLOW
 EAST OF ARRAS
ALL ALONG THE FRONT BRITISH HAVE ADVANCED, AT SOME
 PLACES TWO MILES.
With the French Army

With the French Army
 While the Germans were defending themselves against the attacks of the Ancre river to the region of Soissons, Field Marshal Haig struck another surprise over a new front north of the old battle zone. The new offen- sive was launched from the east of Arras on the Scarpe river and south ward to the Cojeul. All along the front the British pressed forward, at some places to a depth of more than two miles, and captured a half dozen or more villages, among them Mon chy-le-Preu Guemappe and Wan court.
 Across the Cojeul the new British attacks on the old battle front brought them to the villages of Mory and S. Leger and. further south to the small town of Favreuil. one and a half miles northeast of Bapaume, from which the British pressed east ward about a mile. Further south the British pressed eastward about q mile. Further south the British are reported unofiicially to have reached the western outskirts of Thielloy in the nipper movement they are carry ing out against Bapaume. With Haig's men now standing well within gun range of the town, it seems likely that the Germans will be forced to evacuate Bapaume in short order.
 Additional gains also have been made by the British east of Albert and on both sides of tke Somme riv- CT. In fact, notwithstanding the ef- forts of the Germans through the use of large endorsements to hold them in check the British and French ail along the line from Albert to Sois- sons have materially bettered their positions and carried further forward their plan of making the Picardy bat tie ground untenable for the enemy.
 The French again are hammering away at the environs of Rove. one of the strong points of the Sommc- Disc front, the capture of which doubtless would cause the giving up by the enemy of the entire salient from the Somme in the north 70 Noyon. Fresnoy-les-Roye to the north and St. Mard to the south of Rove both have been captured by the French, despite the desperate re- sistance of the Germans, and Rove. like Bapaume. in the north, apparent ly is in danger of being pinched out of the line in an enveloping move ment. More than 600 prisoners Were taken by the French in the opera tion.

nocuous nature of my visit, so I re trained. I was about to partake O some of the food I found on the ta ble there when I heard the key being carefully withdrawn from the lock on the other side. Quick as a flash l asked myself the question, Why do people withdraw the keys from locked doorsY The answer struck me in stantly. So that they may look through the keyholes, of course.' l recollected my costume. With one bound I jumped to the door and put my thumb over the keyhole, where it has been ever since."
 Surely you have heard the telephone bell ringing"
 Yes, it has been making an infer nal racket ever since I arrived, but how could leave my post to answer it?" He helplessly waved his free hand in the direction of the keyhole.
 ouch Stop!" he yelled, jerking his thumb away and dancing up and down frantically.
 What has happened?"

 I was about to do that. foolish as it was, when there was the sound of rifle shot somewhere outside, and all most simultaneously the lamp which I held fell apart in my hand and crash ed to the floor.
 "Ha, ha, haw laughed Bill Johnson in the darkness. "I see the yoke now"
 What happened?" Clair asked.
 Some one shot out the light"
 What for?"
 "I can't imagine"
 Any further conversation was cut short by scattering fuSillade of shots, some of which came through the win dow. as We could tell by the tinkle of glass.
 "This is a regular attack" Clair may have been an egotistical ass, but l must give him credit for not showing fear under fire. What shall we dor"

BLOODY FIGHT ON
 MEXICAN BORDER
TWO AMERICANS KILLED AND 29 WOUNDED-MOR THAN 500
 AMERICANS ENGAGED.

Nogales, Ariz. Two Americans were killed, 29 wounded and moro than 800 American troops were en- gagged for one and one-half hours on the border here during skirmish be- tween American troops and Mexi cans.
 While the casualties on the Mexi- can side of the border were not known, it was estimated that 100 hal been killed by fire from the American side, while at least twice this number, including number of civilians, were wounded. It was reported that the mayor of Nogales, Sonora, was killei, but this was not confirmed.
 The fighting followed the alleget efforts of q Mexican custom official to smuggle countryman across the boundary into the United States. An American sentry attempted to stop him. Two Mexicans fired at the sen try across the street, striking him in the right arm. The fire was returned by American patrols. and after Mexi- cans had rushed from nearby build- ings and started shooting across tho line from behind buildings and walls, the firing became general.
 Achievements from an infantry regiment and a negro cavalry regt- ment were rushed to the border and took up combat positions It was es- timated that more than 300 American soldiers and at least 90 civilians par ticipated in the shooting. It was re- ported that detachment of cavalry crossed the border in pursuit of tis NeXicans. but this was not confirmed. The fighting, which started at 4:05 D. m. continued without abatement un- til 5;30, when it died down except for an occasional sniping. shot along the long international street
 At 5:30 white flag was displayel by the Mexicans, a barley followed. but the sniping continped until after o'clock Bullets fell in Nogales and civilians were ordered to remain ii- doors and without tRe zone of fire

NEW SALIENT IS CREATED

Washington. The number Of July 1 has passed the 112, 900 mark, Gen. Marsh said.
 In the same time the allies have taken from the Germans 1900 can non of the field gun caliber and larger.
 The French advance noted in the official statement from Paris, the chief of staff pointed out, marks the creation of another deep salient ln the enemy lines which is now being put between the pincers.' The French have reached Nesle and are within two miles of the Somme at this point.
 Since last Saturday the British, as a result of their persistent advance, have overrun the HindenDurg fine for a distance of one mile on a front of three miles.
 Latest dispatches to the depart ment Gen. March said do not indi- cate any cessation of the allied pres SuIt. ue bIlllSH dppdl tutIS etlt SpiN tinuing their progress on the Fland- CTS front.
 Summarizing the military activities on the western front since Saturday, Gen. March said the British had car ried the allied lines between tha Scarpe and the Somme over the hil- ly plains east of Albert against de- termined resistance on the part of the enemy. On Tuesday the British con- tnued to a depth of five miles along the very important Cambrai-Arras road.
 On the French front the attack on a 10-mile front went forward two miles and culminated in the capture of Rove. Since then very important ground to the east of this place also has been captured.
 Gen. March confirmed the reported advance of the Austrians in Albania, resulting in the withdrawal of the Italian front east of Berat.

 Finally we reached the deck at Huntingdon's island.
 After I had filled my lungs with a little undiluted air I picked up heavy wrench to use as a weapon, and, di- recting Bill to arm himself likewise and follow as quietly as possible, 1 set out up the path leading from the dock, which doubtless ended at the Hunting don dOmicile.
 A turn of the path brought us in range with an illuminated window. I led the way off from the path and through the shrubbery to position near the house, but a little to one side of the window.
