The statement reads:

''The battle continues with re- doubled violence. Between Chateau Thierry and Rheims the enemy is launching furious attacks. The com bats are particularly violent south of the Marne and in the region of Cha tillon.
 French and American troops are resisting magnificently and are coun- ter attacking many times with the ut most vigor.
 South of the Marne the Germans have not been able to advance their lines beyond St. Agnon, La Chapelle, Monthodon, Lisieres and south of the forest of Bouquigny. In this region the French have taken 1000 prison CTS. Mareuil 1e Port, on the Marne south of Chatillon, is held by the French.
 North of the Marne the French have held the enemy in the outskirts of Chatillon and southwest of the Rodemat wood. In this region there is no appreciabler change in the rest of the line. All German attacks dur ing the night failed. s.
 "On the front east of Rheims the hSt4LAAS, "ll14C OI Llle' uLIIlOSL NlOl6nC0, was unfruitful and the enemy during the last day and night has not been able to penetrate the French zone ot defense, which runs to the eastward through Prunay, south of the woods north of Chaussee Romaine as far as the La Suippe region north of Souain The battle positions of the French are intact.
 'The enemy losses in prisoners dur ing the first day of the battle have been extremely heavy"

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The hens in the contest at Storrs seem, to be gradually dropping off a little each week, but this must be ex- pected at this season of the year and also from now on because of the fact that some of the poor producing hens want to mott at this season of the year. The manager of the egg lay ing contest reports that many Of the Leghorns and a few other breeds have started in molting. This is most prev alent with the pens that have been poor producers during the past thir- ty-six weeks. As a rule hens do not lay and mott at the same time. The trap nest records have demonstrated that the late layers and the late mott CTS are the ones that also began to law frs the previous autumn. There fore the hens that lay late into the autumn lay the most eggs during their bullet year. On the other hand, the early quitter is the poorest layer and the poorest breeder.
 In the thirty-sixth week of the con- test at Storrs the hens produced a to- tai of S,794 eggs or a yield of 54.2 per cent This is a drop of 70 eggs as compared with the previous week s production. Pen 53 of the Oregon Az ricultural College won first place for the week with a yield of 660 eggs; pen 87 of Oak Hill Estate, Uniontown, Pa won second place with a yield of 5S
 eggs; and pen 668 of Hollywood Farm
 Hollywood, Wash, was third with a total of 57 eggs. Fourth honors go
 to pen 7S belonging to E. A. Ballard Chestnut Hill, Pa., and pen 99 belong
 ing to c. s. Greene, Lakewood, N. j..

TROLLEY CREW
 NOT HELD FOR
 SMITH FATALITY
No Criminal Responsibility For Accident of
 July 7.

Frederick Seidei of Mamaroneck, motorman, and F. A. Miller of Port chester, the conductor of the trolley car that struck and fatally injured Mary Angeline Smith on the night of July and who had been held under bonds on the charge of manslaughter pending the finding of the coroner were dissolved from all blame as he decided that there was no criminal responsibility for the fatality.
 Mrs. Smith and her husband had been visiting at the home of friends at 140 Hamilton avenue, Greenwich, on that evening and had left the place rather late in a state of partial intoxication. Getting out on the road they became involved in an alterca- ton and separated, the husband go- ing back toward Greenwich and the wife went on toward Portchester.
 She evidently tired before going very far and sat down on the side of the road to think things over. She ular stopping place of the trolleys and quite out of the way in so far as one would expect to find anyone sit ting almost on the trolley tracks late at night.
 The motorman, Seidel, testified that he did not see the woman until he was within about five feet of her. She was sitting bent over and with heI hands clasped over her face. He pur on his brakes and reversed the power but was too close to her to have hi: actions prevent the car from hittins I her. She was struck by the. folded step on the left front side. Her skull was fractured and she died shortl! after being carried to the hospita | in Greenwich.

FEDERAL RESERVE PLACES BANKS IN
 STACKER CLASS

New York, July 12.---In an effort to smoke out those banking institutions which are not doing their share in subscribing to United States certif- cates of indebtedness, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, together with other Reserve banks, is sending to member institutions lists of sub scribers so that all may know what institutions are slackers. These lists are not for the eyes of the general public, but there is possibility that the names of those institutions which are not putting their shoulders to the wheel will be published if they con- tinue to maintain their present atti- tude of indifference.
 Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo recently requested that the banks and trust companies every two weeks lay aside 2 1-2 per cent. of their gross re- sources to be invetsed in United States certificates of indebtedness so that the government may use the funds until ready for the next Lib erty Loan. An analysis of the sub scriptions, however, shows that he so-called country institutions, that is, smaller banks and trust companies, are not doing their proper snare. Tn some instances the banks and trust companies in small towns have not subscribed at all for the certificates of indebtedness.
 The Federal Reserve Bank of New York announces that a summary of the subscriptions received for the first issue of certificates of indebtedness dated June 25. 1918, and due October "A, 191S shows that of a total of 1,045 national and State banks and trust companies, only 594 subscribed, while 451 did not subscribe. In other words about 40 per cent. of the banking in- stitutions are in the stacker class. By classes the tabulation shows that of 621 national banks. 258 failed to sub scribe; that of 22s State banks, 120 did
 not subscribe, and of 196 trust com panies, 73 are non-subscribers.

Press Points Out Fact That Surprise Element Was
 Totally Lacking.
FRENCH COMMAND
 KNEW OF BLOW
Present Drive in Washing ton is Believed Forerun-
 ner of Effort in North.

Paris, July .16 - All news from the battle front indicates that the element of surprise, a favorite German weapon, was a total failure on Monday. The newspapers point out the im- portance of that fact.
 The French military chiefs. says Maurice Barres' in the Echo de Paris, foresaw with wonderful approximation the date and locality of the German effort and Gen. Foch made all dispositions so that the attack was begun under conditions fa- vOrable to the Allies.
 The Matin declares the French com mand was informed perfectly of the German preparation and knew on Sunday morning that the German troops had begun to use their reserve food supplies. This enabled the French artillery to deliver an intense fire against the Germans with the re- suit that the attackers were badly battered.

Washington, July 16.---"The general situation this morning is regarded as satisfactory" says a war department statement today, based on dispatches from Gen. Pershing and Gen. Bliss, confirming press accounts of the fighting yesterday.
 The present offensive in the opinion of observers here is but a forerunner of another German effort in the north Hoping to break the Franco-Italian lines about Rheims and thereby cause Gen. Fech to rush reserves from be- hind Amiens to defend the French capital, it is said that the German command may count on a weakening of the northern line in the Albert re- zion to the extent that thrust in htat region could be successfully made.
 Warning is given, however, that the first day of such a battle is merely general advance guard action, and that great pressure of reserves still is to be looked for.
