The allied offensive has slowed down.

American troops today forced back
the Germans q bit farther north. The
greater part of the fighting il takinr

of the salient.
The Germans with artillery and
machine guns and strong infantry de.
tachments left the northern edge OF
the Fere, Tournelle and Ris forests
and battled cleverly and stubbornly
to hold the advancing allies until
more progress could be made in the
transportation of their supplies, guns
and general stores. But despite the
opposition some ground was gained.

The Germans are using high ex-
plosives, mixed with gas shells.
Americans estimate that 40 per cent
OF the German shells which fell on
Thursday night and today contained
gas. The German machine gun nests
are numerous in the forests, but the
allies are gradually tearing them to
pieces with heavy shells. The bom-

These 6-o'clock-twilight games

Either Hetnie Menth or Eddie

Tigers. Micky Shader probably
will start for Aberdeen.
The Tigers were unable to play
their first exhibition game with
the Camp Lewis all-stars yester-

rain. The game has been set for
tomorrow evening at 6:t5, and oil

Maj. Gen. II. A Greene and his

Is
Banking On
DanieIsou

The approach of the first-team
contests in the inter-school series
is bringing back hope to the Lin
coin boys, now that it is settled
that Eddie Danielson, who ha.
starred for Lincoln for many
years, is eligible again to play on
the team.
Eddie, it will be remembered,
was barred from participation in
the games for a year but he Is
again eligible. He is working
just now, but the Black and Gold
boys believe they can get him in
shape in time for the coming III
ter-school series.
While Danielson is a good all
round utility man, perhaps his
best position is shortstop where
his playing usually strengthens
the whole infield, and he is some
pitcher, too.

PREMIER UNFO[DS
 AUSTR|A'S POLICY
Dual Empire United With Germany in Unshakable Friendship, Declares
 New Premier

Amsterdam, July 27.--Raron Von Hussarek. the new Austro-H Hungarian premier, in unfolding his roliey in the lower house of Parliament, has said. according to advices from Vienna:
 Tn firm union with Germany, with which we are united in unshakable friendship and loyalty and with which we are about to be more closely united, it is now imperative to enforce a sue cessful end to this terrible struggle. After a year of severe trial, it is now time to realize the intentions which the central empires statesmen repeatedly have unanimously stated, which tnreat l. en no one, and which aim at a gen eral reconciliation of the people. The Austrian government will contribute all in it's power to the attainment of this ardently desired end.
 For the attainment of this aim the outward manifestation of power alone does not suffice. There must also be a development of internal strength. An absolute condition, therefore, is con tinual constitutional cooperation with Parliament to which the government will scrupulously adhere"
 After saying that his programme comprised the immediate passing of the Hungarian budget and the making of preparations to clear up national life problems, including the creation of sat- isfactory conditions for the entire pop ulation and in the development of so- cial welfare organizations, Premier Hussayek added:
 Our efforts must be directed towards the creation of a basis For trustful CO., operation with Parliament which, how ever, cannot materialize without mu- tual frankness and straightforward ness.
 Tn this respect we look to those groups which have formerly on prin- ciple supported our state in it's most serious struggle, and we are conscious of our obligations toward them. We desire, however, to gain at least such degree of confidence from those not on our side as may be possible frofa loyal opponents. Justice towards all- tow ards every race and every class must, however, be and continue to be, our guiding principle
 Baron yon Hussarek's speech was generally applauded, though the Ger man radicals shouted:
 Where is the German course?'
