German Cities
Bombed Daily In
y Month of JMme

Amsterdam, July 17.-Thirty- three
air attacks were made during June
by the Allies against German towns
and cities, according to a statement
issued at Berlin. Twelve Of these
were against industrial districts in
AIsace- Lorraine and Luxembourg.
Four were against the Dillingen and
Saarbruecken regions and some each
at various places in the Rhine dis
trict.
The report admits that damage was
done to blast furnaces in the Saar-
bruecken region and at Ludwigshaf-
en-, while damage to private houses is
said not to be inconsiderable. Thirty
four persons have been killed and 81
severely injured. Thirty-five others

Bombing Of Hospital Was
Deliberate; No Chance to
Claim Mistake Was Made

ible several thousand feet in the
air. r..
Seven witnesses agree that the
German aviators flew back and forth
several times, then shut off their
engines, dropped to within a few
hundred feet and let go their bombs
after a careful observation.
The German aim was good but
fortunately only two enlisted men
were killed and nine of the hospital
personnel were wounded. Two pieces
Of a bomb went through a window
and passed within four feet Of a
surgeon who was performing a diff
ficult operation. When the bombs
fell all the lights went out, leaving
the operating tables in darkness and
the surgeon with great difficulty
was able to give the patient temper
ary relief. Another piece Of bomb
tore open the chest Of an orderly
as he~was raising a patient to give
him q drink.

CRISIS OF NEW
GERMAN ATTACK
YET TO COME IS
WASHINGHONVIEW
First Rush Of Enemy
Checked, But Battle Is
Not Yet Ended
(By Associated Press.)

e Washington, July 1.-THE crisis
OF the new German offensive in
France is still to be reached, in the
opinion Of high officials here. While
the first rush Of the enemy ap-
parently met with a decided check,
all along the line, and fell far short
of the probable objective marked out
for the first day, both official and
unofficial reports from the front last
night showed that bitter fighting was
. still in progress with varying re-
suits.
Advtces from General Pershing
and General Bliss covering yester-
! days operations prompted a state
J yesterday that the situation was re-
garded as satisfactory by the Amer
ican commanders.
! On the paratively limited part
of the battlefront held by the Ameri-
cans between Chateau Thlerry and
! the Jaulgonne region, advices in
Dictated that the enemy mad been
ousted from a majority Of the points
where his initial drive had made
Roadway across the river.
The situation appears most en-
couraglng mere.
Farther east, however, where the
Germans appear to have occupied a
considerable amount of territory
south OF the Marine, the enemy was
still in force and the French, with
! American aid, were gradually beat
ing him back toward the river.
American reinforcements were also
! reported as arriving and getting in
! to the fighting line even farther east,
i toward Rheims.
Probably in excess Of $50, 900
American troops are involved in one
/ place or another as that would be
| the approximate strength Of Major
| General Hunter Liggett's first army
corps, several divisions Of which are
Known to be operating with the
French corps along the Marine sec
tor. Nothing has reached the war
department, however. to identify the
troops who made the brilliant coun-
ter attacks yesterday at Vaux and
in the Jaulgonne regions which help
ed materially in stemming the Ger
man tide.
Secretary Baker said today he had
no reason to believe that the first
corps was operating as a unit. the
indications being rather that it's
, divisions were being employed in
I French corps. Similarly. divisions
from other American corps are un-
der French corps commanders and
operating as units Of the French
corps, while at other points Ameri-
can brigade or even regiments form
parts of French divisional or brigade
units.
This government makes 1t i'm
possible to gauge accurately the ex-
tent of American participation.

Sport Snapshots
(By Jack Keene.)

Fandom is taking a new interest in
the st. Louis Browns.
Jimmy Burke, veteran baseball
named to succeed Jimmy N.Y. Austin ag p ap4
pointed temporary manager of the
st. Louis Browns when Fielder Jones
resigned.
The announcement came as no
great surprise, as Burke, who has
been coach of the st, Louis team, was
always considered to have the inside
track provided that Allen was not
Kept on the job permanently.
For five years previous to joining
the Browns this season Burke was
coach OF the Detroit Americans. He
played third for the St. Louis Nation
ais in 1905, and spent the next few
years as manager OF Louisville, Kan
sas City, Indianapolis and other mi-
nor league clubs. 49,. -

Babe Ruth, without any question
the greatest hitter Of modern times,
made his ninth home run Of the cur

eighth game of the season. In this

the mark set by seybold l6 seasons

Ruth's work with the stick this
season is the most remarkable that
has been shown in either major league
in years, and it is doubtful If it ever
has been surpassed by the great slug
gers of other years. In practically ev-
cry instance on record the player who
led his league in home runs has made
the majority of snashes on his home
park, where some particular fence has
been to his liking. With Ruth it has
to his credit as many home runs as
Pipp, the league leader. made last
year, and he has made more than
were collected by the league leaders
in 1914 and 1915. Yet he has not made
one homer this season at his home
field, F'enway park.
in fve cities have seen the big
fellow punch out his circuit clouts.
He has hit three at the Polo grounds
in his four games there this year, get
ting two off Allen Russell and one OF
George Mogridge. AT Washington he
hit a homer off Walter Johnson, driv-
ing the ball over the right field wall
at the Florida avenue grounds, and
this is a feat that happens very in
frequently. Ruth is the only player
who has turned the trick this year,
and it was done only once in 1916 and
once in 1917. -. .-.'y

WheatLamd Folks
Haze Fine Picnic

Wheatland, N. D., July 1.-THE
annual community picnic at Wheat
land yielded it's rights and date to
the Red Cross on July 10, in Burn
hams grove at Wheatland. A large
crowd attended, mostly residents Of
the village and vicinity, nearly all Of
whom are members Of the branch at
this place.
A cloudy and threatening day kept
those from a distance at home.
A feeling Of good will toward all
prevailed. Everybody worked to
make this just cause q grand suc-
cess.
The crowd began gathering about
noon, laden with good things to eat
and the women with their knitting.
The first entertainment was a base
ball game, called at 1 o'clock, be-
ner to play Erie at p. m. The
games developed into a surprise for
the visiting teams. Both scoring
winners in the summer Red Cross
leagues, South and North sections.
Good crowds attended both games
and excitement ran high.
Gordon Smith Of Fargo delivered a
very fine patriotic address, followed
by VIC. Green, also Of Fargo, whose
discourse dwelt more particularly on
the boys over there, their duties and
ours and the merits of the Red
Cross. At this time the Wheatland
service flag containing Sc stars, was
unfurled. The names on the roll Of
honor, which these stars represented,
were read from the platform.
Songs by F. L. Standby of Cassel-
ton and Charles Laveu with Clara
Pollock, pianist, were very we'll rem
dered and heartily applauded.
Dinner was served at p. m, about
500 people being served with the
nunity can furnish. Stands on the
grounds sold soft drinks and ice
cream, all for the benefit Of the Red
Cross.
Though requested by the food ad-
mintstration to refrain from serving
sWeetened lemonade on account Of
the sugar regulations, the public
spirited housewives knew that a pic
mic without lemonade would be a
failure, so they contributed a, pound
each from their scanty aIlotments Of
sweets.
The dance in the I. o. O. r. hall
in the evening was a grand success.
When the tired committees closed
their affairs of the day they found
they had taken in about 5000, three
fourths Of which will be a profit to
the branch and each wishes to thank
the community. not only for it's
liberal donations of the good things
to eat and free hand in spending
money on this occasion, but for
the friendly and energetic help it
is giving to the Red Cross society
and by so doing, show the boys that
ara giving their lives, maybe, to the
cause that the stay at homes are
backing them with their time. and
money. .---...s ,-... -..--
