WATXH'NG A MOVIE ACT "FOP- 7VjO HlCJCT thi THC Sack poonv. of a BIG GUN BATTLE CONTINUES ON WEST Of MEUSE RIVER PARIS, June 28. To the west of the Meuse the big duel continue last night. The British offensive whicn is now in its initial stage is taking the form of steady pressure against the German line. Adopting the German methods the British are pounding away at the German positions night and day with heavy artillery, and no infantry attack is made until the way has been effectually prepared with shell fire. French military critics warn the people not' to expect any spectacular advance at the northern end of the line. It may be weeks, the military men say, before the German lines break beneath the constant pounding of the French and British guns. Premier Braind. who has just returned from a visit to the headquarters of General Sir Douglas Haig, is deeply impressed with the preparations made for the ofefnsive particularly the great amount of heavy artillery massed and the huge supplies of ehells. to Go 99

EXPERTS PICK MORAN TO WIN DILLON SCRAP

NEW YORK, June 28. Many ring experts believe that Frank Moran will win over Jack Dillon in their tenround bout in Brooklyn tomorrow night, the weather permitting. Betting today is 5 to 4 on Moran to win. Maranites have offered 1 to 3 that the Pittsburger will knock out Dillon, but there isn't and superfluity of Dillon takers. Odd of 5 to 1 that Dillon won't knock out Moran are going begging. Dillon is faster than Moran and shiftier, but Moran's physical advantages are so great that even the staunchest Dillon supporters are not confident that the "giant killer" can overcome them sufficiently to win the verdict.MEXICAN SPIES COVER BORDER EL PASO. June 28. Information regarding disposition of troops was refused today, although it is known that all plans for the placing of the various guardsmen had been made. It was expected that soon the first guardsmen from the east would be J guardsmen from posses in the El Paso district and at tneir posts along tne border. It is no secret that the Mexican de facto government has' in operation a splendid system of espionage. The danger of spies may be more easily comprehended when it is stated that fully half of El Paso's population is made up. of Mexicans and in the other border towns the proportion is even more overwhelming.

The Delight of Children The self-developed, inner-flavour of New Post Toasties bear a unique attraction for the kiddies they even like them dry from the package for their lunches. A box of Toasties provides "eats" that will delight the children. New Post Toasties are usually served with cream and sugar, in which form the flavour is more pronounced and the flakes more delicious. These

New Toasties do not chaff or crumble in the package and they don't mush down in cream both common defects of old-fashioned "corn flakes.' Then, too, notice the tiny bubbles on the flakes, produced by the quick, intense heat of a new pat

ented process of making which imparts delightful crisnness and a substantial hodv to the flakes.

New Post Toasties are a vast improvement over any old-style "corn flakes." For tomorrow's breakfast New Post Toasties Sold by Grocers everywhere.

ORPET SHAKEN BY ATTORNEY

WAUKEGAN, III., June 28 Shake and at times badly confused. Will Orpet spent some tortuous hours today on the witness stand in his trial for the murder of Marion Lambert. The relentless, whipsawing. cross-examination began yesterday and continued with even more sharpness today. Through it all Orpet slouched in his chair, his chin sunk in his hand and gave his answers in a low voice. Occasionally there were flashes of defiance in his replies. There was little of Marion Lambert in the morning's proceedings. Attorney David Joslin for the state, abandoned for the time being the young' student's relations with the Lake Forest school girl.
