success could not have any
great effect on the fate of the

perfectly that after hard fight

added that counter attack

Immediately after the Ameri-

the Americans launched their
counter attack and the lost
ground was soon recovered,
with All additional half mile

FIRING SQUAD ENDS

TRAITOR TO FRANCE

PHITE NEWSPAPER BON-

is EXECUTED IN FOREST
Condemned Man Died Almost In
stantly With Command to Fire.
Others Given Long Terms-Cail-
laux Comes Next to Trial.

Paris, July H.-(Havas Agency
NJ. Duval, director of the German
ophile newspaper Bonnet Rouge,
was executed early today for trea-
sonable actions against the govern
mcnt.
The execution was carried out
promptly at 5 o'clock in the forest
of Vincennes. The condemned
man died almost instantly with the
command to fire.
The execution of M. Duval is the
second growing out of the German
propaganda of "Boloism," or de
featism" in France. The first to
face the firing squad was Bolo
Pasha. Soon after his execution the
trial of Duval and six other defend
ants was begun.
The trial of Duval and his asso-
ciates began April 2S, and conclud-
ed May IS, with the death sentence
being imposed on Duval, the six
others being given prison terms,
ranging from two to ten years.
Among the others convicted were
NJ. Mario assistant manager of the
Bonnet Rouge, and Jean Leymarie,
former director of the ministry of
the interior. Early in 1914 the
newspaper Bonnet Rouge was es-
tablished with Miguel Almereyda as
its editor. After the outbreak of the
war, the newspaper published at
tacks on the French government and
otherwise aided German propagan-
da. The newspaper was suppressed
last summer and its suppression
brought about the resignation of
Louis Malvy, minister of the in
terror. On the resulting wave of
political turmoil, George Clemen-
ceau came back into power.
Died Mysteriously.
Almereyda was arrested and died
mysteriously in prison under cir
cumstances pointing to suicide. Du-
val was accused of taking money
from German bankers, obtaining it
in Switzerland where he went with
a passport given him by the minis
ter OF the interior.
In addition to Malvy another
prominent politician, Joseph Gail
laux, was mentioned in connection
with the Bonnet Rouge case. Malvy.
on Tuesday was brought before the
French senate sitting as high court
to answer a charge of treason. Call
laux is in prison awaiting trial.
Paris, July H.-Joseph Caillaux,
former premier of France, who is
in prison awaiting trial, has writ

With prices of necessities apprec- iably higher than for many years, newspaper readers have an additional incentive to watch the advertise ments.
 There was time not so long ago when newspaper lads" were to a large extent an index to service and quality, inducing higher standards of living and showing methods of say ing labor and, avoiding household
 drudgery. In short, they were educa- tional in character.
 Today they have evolved to a money saving plane as well. Adver- tisers are emphasizing the thrift idea; they are telling us how to save by using their products to this end. These are great rgain-hunting days. High prices stare every house. holder in the face and the merchant with something comparatively attrac- tive to offer as to price is not slow to let it be known This is why our newspapers arc as rule printing a large run of advertising despite the war. And nearly all of the lads" lay stress upon the price tag. Without the advertising a lower price than the standard figure of an
 article would be nearly impossible, because it is the newspaper advertis- ing that insures large market and
 quick attention. A merchant could not afford to "cut to the bone" on an
 article and only sell few-he must | sell a large number of an article to
 make it pay. The newspaper is the
 only medium that promptly provides him with customers to make the
 price cut pay.
 The money that people save by
 watching the advertisements reacts
 to the benefit of the government by
 enabling better investment in govern
 ment securities. In this way the
 newspapers directly aid the govern
 ment through the advertising col
 umns, as well as carrying columns
 of government notices, and in many
 cases government advertising, free oi

 the duty of every citizen to keep a

Where Anc,ents ExceIled,

Although tunneling is among tho most ancient of enterprises, more pro- gress has been made in the last cen- tury than in the twenty centuries which preceded it. It is now known that back in the semimythical days of the Theban kings the long tunnel into the mountain rock, expanding at a dis tance of 400 feet or so, into some lofty chamber, was common work. The rock temples of Nubia and India, too, show that in certain matters at any rate moderns may still learn from the ancients.

PRINTERS' WAR RECORD
 COMMENDABLE. [

Members of the International Typo graphical Union have made a most commendable war record. Always the most progressive, and the best led organization of labor, the printers have proved their patriotism by word and act, and in the meantime have carried on the relief work for which this organization is noted. Frcm a little booklet sent out by the Inter- national Typographical Union these facts are taken:
 "On June 15, 1918, 4,OS1 journeymen members of this union and 656 ap- prentices were in the army and navy forces of the United States and Can ada.
 Seventy of our members have fallen in battle in France or have died in military camps in America.
 "To the widows, orphans, fathers, mothers or other relatives of these men this International Union has paid mortuary benefits amounting to $22,35O.
 During the past twelve months this International Union has paid $354.O00 to l,500 old age pensioners.
 "In the same period this union has paid mortuary benefits amounting to $312, 400.
 "The total expense for the main tenance and for Improvements at the Union Printers Home at Colorado Springs last year was $167,OOO.
 "This union has invested $30O0O ir each of the three Liberty lcans- $90,000 in all. Our subordinate or ganizations and individual member. have invested more than $3,O0O ,OOO i, these securities.
 "Our strike expenses for the pas twelve months were but $1,237.
 "The gross earnings of our mem bers amounted to more than $71 ,O00, 900 for the year fer 62,00O members and the insignificant amount ex pended for strike purposes reflect our determination to give full patrio tic support to the government unde which We live in terrific responsibil ities which now confront us all.

THE SLOWER MAIL SERVICE.

Nobody denies that the mail ser vice is not the swift-moving certain machine it once was. But there also is disposition to be charitable con sidering wartime conditions.
 F astoffices in most cities are bad ly handicapped in competing for labor. Regular employees in a great many instances have sought other and more lucrative employment, which has tended to demoralize the efficien- cy of the service. Likewise all post offices seem to be lacking sufficient employees.
 A bill is being passed by congress which will increase the wages of post office clerks and carriers S200 a year. It will go into effect this month and should help to better the service.
