CAPTIVE
Dispatch From Lowell
Mellett.
BY United Press Leased Wire.

WITH THE AMERICANS ON
THE MARINE, June 26.-U0:3O
a. m.)-The Americans took the
remainder of Belleau wood last
night.
The German losses in killed
and wounded were very heavy.
They also lost at least 221 pris-
oners, including a captain and
six other officers. The Ameri-
cans captured many machine
guns.
In this action the Americans
further flattened the apex of the
German drive toward Paris. They
now completely hold the wood,
the northern end of which has
been in dispute since the Ameri-
cans first halted the German
rush three weeks ago.
Heavily Shelled.
The Germans desperately
sought to retain the advantage OF
holding the wood. without which
movement toward Meaux is i'm
possible. They literally crowded
their part of the forest with
machine guns.
Our success resulted from
heavy Smelling all day Tuesday,
which was followed by an attack
at . p. nj. An hour and a half
later the enemy was reported as
attempting to leave the woods.
They were swept by an enfilad-
ing machine gun fire, many fight
ing to the death, others surren-
dering.
At daylight this morning
Pvt. Frank p. Lennart Of
Chicago marched into head
quarters i'm charge of 20
German privates and five
Officers, all of whom SUR
rendered TO him voluntarily
after they had first taken
him prisoner.
Lennart insisted he had prom
ised his captain he'd take them
in alone and had obtained con-
sent TO lead them out of the
woods. This incident does not
indicate the general nature of
the fighting, which was most
desperate.
Straighten Line.
1t lasted until midnight, when
the Americans, aided by German
prisoners, had dug in to main-
tain their gains, and an Ameri-
can unit in the open on the right
had forced its way as far north az
the point of the woods, COM
pleteiy Strengthening the line.
The Germans, with the excep-
ton of one captain, who knew be-
fore we did that we had him sur
rounded, fought until they were
driven from their strongholds by
hand grenades or bayonets.
They reserved their rifle and
machine gun fire until the Amer
leans closed in.
German losses in dead and
wounded were heavy, while our
losses we're not disproportionato
to the success obtained.

FOURTH.
JULY
WILL BE
BIG DAY

The great Western Military
Tournament and big patriotic
celebration for Tacoma July
3 and 4, plans for which have
had to he altered from time
to time because of war move
nents, is a certainty Wednes-
day.
The last obstacle in the way OF
holding the military maneuvers
here for Tacomas biggest Fourth
OF July celebration have been re-
moved, it is announced by the
committee in charge.
The celebration will include a
big horse show to be staged in the
Stadium by the men of the Camp
Lewis .temount Station on the
evening of July 3, monster mill
tary and patriotic parade on Ia
coma streets the morning of the
Fourth, and military maneuvers
and tournament in the evening Of
the Fourth in which the 1st in
fantry, u. S. A., which has Just
arrived from Honolulu, will take
part.
Up to the last moment Tues
day afternoon it looked as If the
plans might fall thru.
The transportation committee
reported that it seemed hopeless
to find way to bring the 1st in
fantry, U. S. A., and the men Of
the Remount Station to Tacoma
to take part in the two days of
celebration.
Come BY Boat.
Right then r. d. Mcdonald had
an idea. He called up Joshua
Green at Seattle and arranged to
have the soldiers brot here by
boat.
The 1st regiment will march to
Dupont July where they will be
met by boat. On July they will
return the same way.
The regulars will lead off the
parade the morning of the Fourth
and will be followed in line by
the Red Cross and shipyard work
ers.
The ability of the men of the
Remount Station as riders has
been shown in the exhibitions they
have held at the cantonment.
Now they are coming to the city
to perform their daring stunts in
military horsemanship in the Sta
dunn, which they regard as a per-
feet setting for such a show.
The thousands of visitors who
are expected to come from all
over the west are promised a rare
entertainment on the first night,
when these experienced horsemen
get into action.
Expect Big Crowds.
The LIST infantry, U. S. A., will
show how the infantry, cavalry
and artillery act under fire and
give a full program of complete
military maneuvers.
Already arrangements have
been made to handle great crowds
and the general committee ha.
sent personal messages to every
wholesaler, grocer, meat dealer
baker and restaurant proprietor
to lay in huge stocks of food, 81
that every person may be fed. e
Room listing bureaus at tn,
Commercial club, Soldiers ant
Sailors club, Y. NJ. c. A. ant
~. w. c. A. are tabulating room
for the 3rd and 4th.
| These must all be in and regis
tered by July so that no confus
ion will ensue.
| 1t is urged that early registra
tion of rooms be cared for, ant
that each room be listed with Blu
one bureau to avoid confusion.

COAL Will
BE DENIED
RENT HOGS
BY j. II. DuckWorth
Special Staff Dispatch.

PHILADELPHIA, June &C.
Rent profiteers in Philadelphia
are to be refused coal by the city
fuel administrator.
This surprise flank attack has
staggered the rent gougers of
workmen at the big shipbuilding
yards here.
Francis A. Lewis, the city fuel
administrator, has issued the fol
lowing ultimatum to the offend
ing landlords:
''If any landlord refuses
to give a lease until next
April to any tenant who pays
his proper rent promptly,
will not permit any coal to
go into the premises, should
it become vacant prior to
next April.
'The landlord, IL he
chooses to put a tenant out
without cause, other than his
desire. to prOfiteer, will find
himself with a property on
his hands for which no fuel
can be obtained, and he can
carry that valuable asset
as long as he chooses"
The real estate pirates who
have been laughing at the threats
of legislation to curb their rob.
berries are now holding a council
of war to find means to meet this
unexpected thrust.
Out in the Hog Island zone
householders are in open revolt
and are threatening "rent
strikes"
In the neighborhood of NORTH
61st, ST., where the big wage
men from Hog Island live, q

There is. however, such a wide diver
gence of opinion of exactly what the
defendant did say that it is my opin-
ion that the defendant should not be
put upon trial because this conflict
of opinion is sufficient to raise a
serious doubt as to whether he did
say the things charged against him
in the indictment.
The words charged in the indict-
ment as having been used by the de-
PENDANT clearly constitute q violation
of the espionage act. II the defend
ant admitted having used these words
and sought to justify them, there
would be no other course for the gov
eminent to pursue than to present
the facts for trial and to ask trial
jury to return verdict against the
defendant, but In this case the defend
ant not only positively denies having
made the statements attributed to
him, but. on the contrary. in this de-
NAL. he is supported by the compe-
tent testimony Of many men and wo-
men who we're present at the time the
speech was delivered.
