June 1.-THE enemy succeeded at an
immense cost in pushing his advances
from a mile to three miles deeper into
the Allied front yesterday. At Mar
queglise. the southernmost part of the
salient, he was about seven miles from
his starting point.
The fighting was almost unprece-
dented yesterday in fury. The Ger
mans continue to attack in compact
masses and were moved down by the
allied gunfire. Wave succeeded wave
in the attack and when a position is
finally taken by the enemy, it is fire.

these counter attacks the French in
variably find the ground Uttered with
German dead.
The Germans, it is estimated had
used between twenty and thirty di-
visions up until last night. As the
enemy's advance is slow he is able to
bring up his light artillery while his
heavier guns are still being fired from
the old positions.
The artillery strength of the two
armies is almost equal, although the
gun fire of the French is more effec-
tive because the French are more fa-
Iniliar with the ground. The fierce

NO CHANGE IN POLICY
u. 8. TOWARD RUSSIA.

WASHINGTON, June IL. - There
has been no change in the policy OF
the American. government in dealing
with the Russian situation. In spite
of recurring rumors that military ac-
ton in Siberia by the allies with
American support or approval is immi-
nent, 1t was learned today no agree
ment had been reached on any feasible
plan for positive action regarding Rus
sia, and consequently the attitude or
the state department is just what IT
has been since the subject was hrst
broached. The official view here is
that this attitude must remain un-
changed until there is some develop
ment of a great Improvement in Rus
sia.

CAMERA is REAL
EYE OF ARMY

over the narrow section of ground

steers, for the most part an even

them, on this side and that, beneath

Meanwhile the observer studies In
tently the pltted earth below, which
would appear to the uninitlated as In

his practiced eye picks out Its essen
tial features, and, regardless of the
shells, he presses his lever at carefully
timed intervals. At last the deed Is
done-just as shell bursts close under
their tail and losses them upward as
n wave might lift cork. Fortunately
the damage Is slight.
"Finished?" asks the pilot through
his telephone.

That Loose Shoe strino.

Little things often lead to serious

to learn that recently an employee of

was coming down the stairway from
the third floor of the warehouse, when
the laciag In one of his shoes became
united. He continued to go down the
stairs, and when about five steps from
the landing he stepped on the flowing
shoe lace, which threw him, and he
fell, striking his head and shoulders

that he died the next morning. Which

The Reason Why,

This difference In the complexion Of
people is due to the varying amount Of
pigment or coloring material In the
cells of which the skins Of all animals
are mnde. Very light people have very
little pigment; very dark people, those
with dark eyes and black hair, have n
great deal of this coloring material
In their cells.
great many people are neither
light nor very dark. They have less
than the dark complexioned people
and more than the light compexioned
people. When the hair turns gray
1t Is because the pigment has disap-.
pcared. AS this is due to the loss Of
this coloring material, dark complex
toned people turn gray sooner thnn
light complexioned people. The struc-
ture OF the skin showing how these
cells are made In layers can be seen
by examining the skin with micro
scope.
