PARIS, Juty 10.'—A new attack was |laun^^i^t^tChampagne by theP |Freft^Hast higiit.j The war office .td|day announced the capture of trenches f.over a front of 5C0 metres. On the

Somme front the French took a line tof German positions in the neighborJhood of BeireMX. In this section 960 if Germans were captured yesterday and last night. The Germans made atttacks at five points simultaneously in |the Yosges, but all their assaults were

Ichecked completely by the fire of French machine guns. The new drive ,had been prepared by ^artillery bomoardirients for more than |two days and the complicated system |'of German defense in the loop to the In or th ward made by the river had been ^disorganized. The task of artillery |^preparation hid been carried through jpapidly and t*ie infantry atrtack probably would have been made sooner had |it not been fcr th-s weather,

Yesterday morning the rain at last stopped and the signal for the assault na given. The French troops began to move along a two and a half mile fefront. The left wing rested on the SDriage over the Somme one mile east fof Sormont farm, Ivhile the right wing |lay a little north of Belloy. tross German Trenches. I The left wing and the center crossed |the German trenches with a single fbound and progressed rapidly in the difrectien of Biaches. Ttnis village was' lattacked from both sides, the north and east alone. The Germans defending

resisted vigorously but finding

themselves in danger of being surirounded retreated to the left bank of I f.he river. At 2 o'clock the village was ifentirely in the hands of the French.

Meanwhile the right wing threw the :I3errnans into disorder and arrived at |:he outskirtsi of Barleux where the perman situation now appears to be precarious.

I French military opinion characterizes the capture of Biaches as a brilliant and important operation. Wheth|r the Germans are still holding onto §.he network of canals or have retreatfed to the other bank of the Somme, the Ifrench position on the last plateau be1|ween the Somme and the important uoint of support afforded by the cap-

BALTIMORE, Md., July 10.—TTpdn .delivering his ship's papers to the offlcie of the North German Lloyd line today, Captain Paul Konlgr, of the submarine merchantman Deutschland, Issued a formal statement declaring his voyage across the Atlantic had broken England's rule of the seas.

At the same time the captain disposed finally of the report that he Carried a message from Emperor Williajja to President Wilson, saying there was no foundation for the story. .The statement in .part, typewritten on the stationery of the Deutschland-Ozea'n-Rhederel, G. M. B. H., Bremen, follows: "The submarine Deutschland, which I have the honor to command, is the first of several submarines, built to order of the D^utsche-Ozena-Rhederei G. M. T!. H. Bremen. She will be followed by the Bremen shortly.

Brings Valuable Cargo.

"We h_ave brought a most valuable cargo of dyestuffs to our American friends, dye stuffs which have been so much needed in America and which the ruler of the seas has not allowed the great American republic to import. While England will not allow anybody the same right on the ocean because she rules the waves, we have by means of the submarine to forestall Great Britain. "Great Britain, however, cannot hinder boats such as ours to go and come as we please. Our trip passing Dover across the ocean was an uneventful one. When danger approached we went below the surface and here we are, safely in an American port ready to return in due course. "I am not in a position to give you full details regarding our trip across the ocean in view of our enemies. Our boat has a displacement of about 2,000 tons, a speed of more than 14 knots. Needless to say, we are qyite unarmed ahd only a peaceful merchantman.

Spiritualists Met Here SuiMay Some Wires

By Nora Bali Ragsdaie.

I have glimpsed into what is generally termed "the great unknown" that is, I have been told that the spirits were in communication with me. The results to me personally were very unsatisfactory. But since the medium, Mrs. Emma B. Sloats, of Evansville, explained that each of us created our own conditions, I presume it was my fault. Anyhow it would not be etiquette to criticize the spirit world.

Mrs. Sloats gave a lecture on "Spirit Return"' in the Chamber of Commerce rooms before 150 persons Sunday evening. Her talk was followed by the delivery of tWenty-ftve or thirty messages to those among her audience. It might be explained here that spiritualists are a religious sect, that they have a church organization in Terre Haute. The lecture was given under the auspices of the church. Unlike most services I have heard in other churches, there was no Bible reading at any period. The songs with the exception

Free Will Offering.

Mrs. Sloats closed her eyes for 'the lecture and kept them closed for the fifteen minutes that she spoke, ending her -talk with an abrupt "Good night." Opening them she stood motionless for half a minute and then seated herself. An announcement was made that persons wishing to ask questions should write them on a slip of paper and drop them into the baskets when the freewill offering was taken. Quite a number took advantage of the opportunity.

Instead of seeing the room darkened as I had imagined it would be for this part of the service, the lights were left on full. Instead of the medium being seated, ghe stood throughout the time. Although it was not a general rule to read questions aloud, a number of them were.

Selecting a slip of paper nearest her, Mrs. Sloats pressed it against hfer forehead. "I get confused conditions here," she said. As she unfolded the

OFF BORDER

Officials Predict Strong Opposition, However, by Allies, to Clearance of BigGerman Submarine.

WASHINGTON, July 10.—The fact that boarding officers found the German merchant submarine Deutschland wholly unarmed goes far toward simplifying any question as to her status as a merchant ship in American waters.

Officials realized, however, that the British and French embassies, while interested little in what the Deutschland has brought over, are concerned over the cargo of rubber and nickel she propses to carry back to Germany, and expect that nothing will be left Undone by Germany's enemies to prevent or hinder her clearance.

Although the fact that the submersible is unarmed is of first importance, such factors as the composition of the crew and actual ownership will have to be established to determine whether the submarine could be classed as a naval auxiliary.

Naval officers, while attracted by the great size of the submarine and hfer long voyage consider the fact that she successfully ran the allied blockade as a most important factor. Some of them pointed out that if a successful means of running the blockade, had

DETROIT, Mich., July 10.—President Wilson aroused great enthusiasm at the world's salesmenship congress today by urging that business men carry justice and fair dealing into the ports of the world, particularly to Mexico, and thereby establish confidence in American principles. His efforts, he declared, will be to serve all'America by serving Mexico herself for her best Interests without using force and not to serve the few "gentlemen" who wish to exploit Mexican possessions."

When'the president asked the crowd what it desires at the end of all the present world troubles, it shouted "Peace," in one voice and then he added that his wish was "permanent peace." "I hear some men say," he said, "that they want to help Mexico and the way they propose to help her is to overwhelm her with force. That is the wrong way as weJJ as the long way.
