WAR COST ENGLAND
 $25,0OO \ MINUTE
NATIONAL DEBT OF THE coUN- TRY HAS BEEN INCREASED
 TO s3e,soo, 100000.

London, July 30.--The war is cost ing the people of Great Britain $34,- e20,000 per day or q, 1,455, 5000 every hour. or nearly s25,000 minute. ac- cording to a statement prepared by the imperial authorities which says:
 After four years of exhausting war Britain's credit is still uRim- paired. Her silver bullets are be- ing turned out by the hundred mil lion and everyone is finding it's billet Her people are cheerfully bearing the ever increasing strain which has Eeen placed upon their shoulders and will spare no effort in blood or treas ure till victory is assured.
 +Britain's national debt has in- creased during the war from $3,325. 900, 900, to s39,900. 900 900, or in ex- cess of twelve times over and yet than all-her debt charges out of current taxation while the new tax ation raised by Germany is not enough to pay the interest accumu- lated upon her war debt.
 Before the war the people of Britain paid taxes amounting to ap- approximately sl.000, 900, ,000 a year; today they are paying taxes of $3.- 270000.000 annually. In spite of this Great Britain raised her third war lean of $5,C000Q,o00-a sum equal to nearly half her entire national in- come in 1911.
 Great Britain is now spending $9,305, ,000,o00 year on her army, her navy. her air service and her muni- tions factories and supplies. but de- spite this colossal financial burden sbe has advanced loans to her allies amounting in the aggregate to sS,- 160, ,0000 000"

SKELETONS FOUND | IN ARIZONA CAVE
OFFICERS SAY THE SkELE TONS MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE
 CAVE TEN YEARS


 Phoenix, Ariz., July 30.--iFrom 35 [, 50 human human skeletons were foun, in three caves On an Indian reserya ton twenty two miles southwest o |the city today. An investigation b, the sheriff's office of one of the caves was not concluded today. Eight skel- etons were found intact. Severa skulls were scattered about in the farther recesses of this cave and skel- etons were seen in the other two caves but they were not examined.
 The search will be continued to- morrow.
 The skeletons were those of ajd,;a..:.s and children, one of them being less than two feet in length. 1t has on a dress, the bottom of which was trimmed with lace. Saddles and spurs were scattered about. The nickel plated furnishings of some of the spuds were but slightly tarnlshed.
 The clothing of the skeletons was but little worn. The shoes of one showed no signs of wear.
 The Indians living in the country say they know nothing about the skel- etons and the officers have not yet formed theory. They say the skel- etons may have been in the caves ten years,

'PruSSianS and BaVarianS
 OutWitted and OutfOught

only under asolute necessity the all lied troops everywhere have exacted a huge toll in men killed, wounded or made prisoner from the Germans in their every effort partly to re- trfeve their losses of gound
 Particularly heavy has been the fighting in the center salient and right and left anchor points of the salient resting respectively south west of Rheims and south of Sois- sons. It is still on the two anchor points that the Germans are keeping a most watchful eye, fearful that the allied troops may yet press back the line and threaten the armies of the German crown prince with the pincer maneuver, for the Germans are not yet far enough out of the pocket to have passed the danger of such a contingency.
 In the center of the pocket north of the Ourcq river the Germans in 6 counter attack drove the Americans out of Cierges, but this slight gain was more than overcome later lby the penetration of the Americans north ward from Sergy Beugneux, lying on the west side Of the pocket north west of Fere- en- -Tardenois also was taken by the Germans, but later the French and Americans recaptured 1t and, with Grand Rozoy in their pos session they still hold advantageous points for small turning movement toward Fere. which. if successful, would give them a goodly number of prisoners.
 Southwest of Rheims the Germans delivered a violent attack against the French from both sides of St. Eu- phraise Their effort to capture the village, however, was futile, although they pushed their line slightly for ward on the west side of it.

USING OF PICKED TROOPS
 SHOWS DESPERATION
lt Is Evident That the Germans Re. gard the Thrust of the Americans at the Center of the Line as a Dan. aerous Maneuver and Are Using Extraordinary Means to Hold the Line.

Washington, July 30.--The second battle of the Marne has entered a new phase. Both French and Ger man official statements tonight re- flected the Increased fury or the fighting for several days past, indi- eating to officials here that . new crisis is approaching. The decision cannot be long delayed, although relatively small changes in the bat tie line were noted tonight.
 It was not clear whether the enemy had reached line on which he pro- posed to halt his withdrawal. The general trend of his present front along the irregular line that now forms the bottom of the Aisne -Marne salient was regarded by most ob- servers, however, as not represent ing positions of such nature as would lend themselves to a deter mined effort to bring the Anglo French American forces to halt
 The intensity of the struggle and the vigor with which picked German troops have been hurled forward in local counter attacks showed con- clusively the importance the German high command attaches to holding fast for the moment at least.
 The reaction appeared to center on the American spearhead, striking at the very center of the enemy posi- tion. It was quite evident that the Germans regarded this thrust as menacing.
 Official dispatches did 0ittle to clear rp the situation. Officers based the,r views on press reports coming from London, Paris, or the fighting fronts. These told of re- peated attacks and counter attacks, but a summary of all reports seemed to show that the Germans had failed to relieve their situation, although the rapidity of the advance was re- duced
 The last available accounts indi- cated that the American positions southeast of Fere -en- -Tardenois had been retained. The fiersects fighting of the battle appears to have taken place here with the village of Sergy as the storm center
 If the American spearhead is fur ther advanced as a result of the present prolonged struggle this, coupled with French and British flank operations to the east and west, would create situation that might we'll force further German withdrawal to escape envelopment on one side or the other of the Ameri- can thrust, 1t was thought There was some fears. however, that the impetuosity of the American troops might lead. them too far forward in case of renewed successes, placing them in danger in their turn of squeeze operations by the enemy.
 In any case 1t could not be seen clearly tonight whether the present enemy resistance Is along a definite line of defense he has established, or Is merely screen behind which he is struggling either to prepare strong defense posotions along the heights of the Vesle or to organize the mass

MACHINE GUN FIRE | FAILS TO STOP AMERICANS
The Americans in Their Advance S. fenced One Machine Gun Nest After Another Until They Came in Close Contact | with the Enemy When Hand Hand Fighting Took Place

London, July 30.--'The Reuter- cor respondent with the American army 1 on the Aisne tMarne front sends the following under Tuesdays date: Yesterday was day of cease.ess 1 fighting in which little actual prog ress could fbe made. The enemy of- fered a most determined resistance and brought up fresh troops, but al. though he delayed us for day, my conviction is unaltered that the Ger mans have no intention of standing this side of the vesle.
 Throughout yesterday the enemy's machine gun fire scarcely ceased, even when apparently none of our men were in the open. The fire swept every lot of cover where they might be expected to be. and during the morning was strongly backed by ar- tillarys whose fire slackened in the afternoon, except at this hour, when our attack on Seringes is in progress.
 It was plain that the guard division had been bitterly chagrined by the loss of Sergy the previous evening after four times having retaken it. Therefore. 1t was no surprise when. shortly after dawn they launched a fresh attack from both sides of thu southernmost angle of the Nssles forest. The attack was backed by field guns and with a ragged bar rage on our second line and batteries. the enemy's gun positions above Cierges being well placed for flank ing fire, which the holders of Sergy found most trying.
 They were forced to mithdra from 1t and fall back across the rivS The enemy was permitted few urk pheasant hours of occupation durirfg which he did his best to improve tfie defenses and daringly brought some field guns to the brow of the hill above it. But these apparently found the price of their daring much too high and the American gun fire too accurate, for their disappearance was more rapid than dignified.
 As they fell back what one hopes may have been the last American at tack on Sergy developed. The guards. apparently had been shaken by their last exploit, and though in few i'm stances they stayed to face the bayonet, the fighting was less des- perate than the day before.
 Shortly after they recaptured Sergy the Americans, who forced the passage of the Ourcq over night ad- vanced up the narrow valley dividing the hill behind Sergy. and after a fight. in which the bayonet and the rifle butt were almost alone used. took Meurcy farm, about mile up the valley
 This was preliminary to an attack On Seringes. as from the farm 1t was possible to outflank the Seringes de- lenses and approach them by Hess steep ascent
 The enemy held Seringes in great strength. The village was also pro tected by machine gun nests ot either side. The attack was an al : most incrediable affair for the cool

MASKED BANDIT
 RoBs EXPRESS CAR

Charlottesville, Va, July 30.-iRail-
 road detectives were tonight working
 on clues which may lead to the ar
 rest within 24 hours of the masked
 bandit who robbed the safe of the
 westbound Chesapeake & Ohio ex-
 press soon after it left this station
 early today. Express officials have
 not announced the total amount
 missing, but the local police are of
 the belief that 1t is around $l35,000
 A quantity of bonds was left undis- turbed.
 The belief prevails here that the
 bandit escaped from the train when 1t stopped on the siding at Green wood, twenty miles west of here, to allow an eastbound passenger train to pass and may be hiding in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Al Marshall, veteran express mes senger, said the bandit entered the car at 2:20 am., soon after the train left Charlottesville for Staunton, cov- cred him with a revolver and bound and gagged him. The robber then took his keys, the messenger related and gained an easy access to tho safe. Funds for the semi monthly payroll of thousands of employees o
 the big government nitrate plant ii West Virginia were said to be in th' safe and this apparently was what ths bandit was after
 Railroad special agents say the bandit worked like an amateur. The messenger was unable to say where
 he left the train.

With the American Army on the Aisne Marne Front July 30.-Throu a barrage as deadly as any the Ger mans have laid down on any sector for months, the Americn soldiers com prising men from the middle west and eastern states pushed their line for ward little more today and tonight it forms the apex of the long allied front
 Their progress was considerable though less than two miles, but 1t is regarded as a brilliant operation in view of the determined countering by the Germans.
 On either side the French also moved forward ssla:lc steady pressure was maintained against the east and west Hanks.
 Information early in the day indi- cated the withdrawal of the fourth guards, but it developed that the re- nowned organization and the Bavari- ans were still on the front and the otAOttS ORfoolttOn ihCy OAhShtu hSoti fled to their reputation. But their sacrifice was in vain.
 The Amercans withstood two heavy attacks during the night, and at day light began their operations, which left them tonight we'll to the north of Sergy on the long slopes approaching the heavy woods beyond Nesles, a little town directly west of Serignes- et-Nesles, whose retention the Ger mans bitterly opposed.
 The east enl of the line swings northeasterly opposite this point and then drops off sharply in the direction of Cierges and Roncileres.
 The Ourcq river has been left far behind the line being pushed for ward across the zone to the north west.
 The Germans are holding positions in Nesles for rest from which their guns are smelling ineffectively.
 1t was late in the day before Ser inges was wholly cleared. The Ger mans clung to the northern part oi the town tenaciously and used theii machine guns murderously.
 Neither side used artillery in this particular battle. There was hand te hand fighting in the streets in whicr the Americans proved the masters driving the enemy before them.
 The story of the fight for the pos session of Meurcy farm, lying di- rectly south of Serinses. will Ions be remembered in the history of the division. The Germans on their with urawal left behind a strong force ol machine gunners and infantry.
 The Americans moved forward through the yellow wheat fields whicl were sprayed and torn by bullets. But they advanced as though on drill grolnd.
 The American guns laid down 6 heavy artillery fire, but notwithstand- ing this many of the Germans re mained when it came to hand to ham fighting.
