BERLIN ADMITS TROOPS DROPPED TO SECOND LINE BERLIN, July 3. British attacks against the German positions north of Somme were repulsed last night but the war office admitted today that south of the river the Germans withdrew under cover of darkness to their second line positions. Violent fighting is in progress with savage bombardments of the German lines. While villages within the German lines are being shattered by the concentrated fire of the big guns and severe struggles are taking place around some of them in advanced positions where both sides are contending for the ruins. DESPERATE LODGED AT JAIL OVER SUNDAY From Sunday noon until nearly midnight one of the most desperate criminals ever confined in the Colorado penitentiary was held for safe keeping in the Richmond city jail. This man, James Dillon, was recently arrested in Canada following a sensational bank robbery at Houston, Pa., and is now being returned to Canon City, Col., by Lieut. Green of the Colorado penitentiary guard, to finish a life sentence for the murder of the proprietor of a gambling house at Pueblo, about three years ago. While an "honor" convict Dillon escaped two year ago. He was arrested in Canada about a week ago. Lieut. Green also had in custody a patrol violator, whom he secured at Columbus, O., John Gilmore. Green, a typical looking western frontiersman, before resuming journey displayed to his two captives a .44 calibre revolver. "I'm going to treat you fellows right as long as you behave," he drawled. "But if any one of you starts something some undertaker is going to get a job." Dillon, Green states, recently met a man living on a small farm near Houston, Pa., who has also served time in the Colorado prison. One day the latter part of April these two men entered the Houston bank at high noon, stuck up the cashier and got away with $16,000. MISS DEUKER SPEAKS. Miss Edna Deuker, superintendent of the Primary department, read a paper on the needs of the primary school before the Adolt Sunday school of Trinity Lutheran church.

ISSUE OF BONDS BE MADE WASHINGTON, July 3. Plans for the issue of bonds to finance the military activities growing but of the Mexican situation were considered at conferences of administration, financial leaders here today.. REVIEWERS BOARD TO COMPLETE WORK AT NEXT SESSION The board of review has its work almost complete. Wednesday morning it will meet and finish up the remaining business and then adjourn. William Mathews, county assessor, said today that assessments levied this year would just about equal those of last year. The ruling of the state board that mortgages shall be assessed at 75 per cent of face value instead of at full value as has been the custom in previous years, tends to cut down the total assessments. Saturday the board lowered the assessment on the Warden-Westcott hotel from $14,780, last year's levy, to $11,432. Other values set Saturday follow: Wayne Works company, Richmond, $103,750; 1915, $102,570. Westcott Motor Car company, Richmond, $43,040; 1915, $42,940. Wayne Ice company, $3,530; 1915, $3,530. OPEN AUTO OFFICE The Wayne County Automobile association is planning to have an office in which a general information bureau will be kept in operation at all times. This was made known today by George Dilks, president of the association. Mr. Dilks said that he would call a special meeting of the organization within the next few days to decide upon a location of the new office and other details connected with its establishment. CENSORS ARE STRICT Owing to the strict censorship of the government regarding troop movements enjoined upon the railroad officials, efforts to ascertain the passing

come difficult. The Richmond Patriotic organization will announce the coming of troop trains by twelve taps of the fire bells. These will Indicate that a train is to be expected soon. PLANS CONFERENCE The Ministerial association, at a called meeting this morning, decided to hold a Bible conference in Richmond the last week in September. This decision was reached after a consultation with Dr. J. R. Kaye, of Chicago. A committee on arrangements, consisting of Rev. L. G. Murray, Rev. H. S. James and Rev. U. S. A. Bridge, was appointed.

PARIS, July 3.-Having smashed the first line positions of the Germans in the sector of the Sonme, the French are now pounding away at the second line.

me, have been captured. The captured by storm in spite of Germans. TROOPS CHEER LOCAL CROWDS FOR WELCOME Enthusiastic greeting was extended the Fifth New Jersey infantry Salururday afternoon and night by large crowds assembled at the Pennsylvania station. The travel-beorimed and weary troopers, crowded in day coaches and tourist sleepers, greatly appreciated the welcome, and their cheers rang with heartfelt sincerity. . Carries All Equipment. Tile first section of the train, comprising the baggage wagons, ambulances, baggage train horses, the service company, mounted scouts and regimental headquarters orderlies, arrived in the city at 3:15 in the afternoon. The second and third sections of the train, owing to a delay in changing cars at Columbus, O., arrived in Richmond several hours behind schedule. These last two sections carried twelve companies and nearly all the officers. The second section pulled into " the station at 11 'o'clock, and the third section was about ten minutes behind it. Crowd Arouses Sleepers. Many of the wearied soldiers were asleep when the last two sections reached Richmond, but they were all aroused by the cheering of a crowd of 5,000 Hoosier patriots. Probably the most interested and enthusiastic member of this big crowd was Mrs. Lindener of this city. Her two brothers were members of the Regiment, Captain W. M. Mean, and Sergeant Major Douglas Meade of Paterson, N. J. 1 About midnight a train, carrying in three sections, the First Pennsylvania infantry, pulled into the city, and quite a large crowd was present to extend a welcome to Indiana to those troopers. To every soldier who passed through Richmond Saturday was given a souvenir Richmond post card with a stamp on it. Hundreds of packs of cigarettes, smoking tobacco and cigars were distributed. These tokens of appreciation from the enthusiastic crowd made a decided hit with the troops. Crowd Pets Girls. In the afternoon a hastily recruited drum and bugal corps kept the waiting crowd In a martial mood. Two pets of the crowd were two little girls, each attired in a dress made of an American flag. A miss of twenty also wore a dress made of the national colors. The New Jersey boys were a happy-go-lucky lot, with a twang to their speech like London cockneys. And they flirted outrageously with girls who distributed post cards among them. Sergeant Wilson of this city, who saw service with the Fourth United States cavalry on the Texas frontier during the Indian campaigns following the Civil war, was on hand to give the New Jersey guardsmen some practical advice as to soldiering on the sunbaked Texas plains. A rigorous censorship was exercised by the railroad officials regarding the movements of the troop trains and the crowd had to guess on the time these trains would arrive. To be sure they wouldn'd miss seeing the soldiers hundreds of persons waited several hours at the station. The Patriotic association, organized to extend a welcome to troops passing through the city, carried out its work in a most efficient manner. KEEPS HOLIDAY HOURS No rural deliveries will be made by the post office tomorrow. One delivery will be made in the residence and business district in town. The evening collection of mail will not be taken in the city. The general delivery and 6tamp windows will be kept open until 10 o'clock In the morning. FORTY MEN REPORT About forty men attended the training class in military drill under Captain Paul Comstock at Glen Miller yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. Captain Comstock stated today that the men of the original group were not deserting him, and that recruits were being gained at each meeting.

vilagc Herbscourt has been the furious resistance of the

German Lines Crumble. Between Estrees and Assevlllers the German line, which was defended by twenty one battalions of troop3 has crumpled beneath the blows of the allies. In the lulls of the infantry fighting the big guns of the French and British are continuously bombarding the German positions. For a week or more the shelling has continued day and night. Late' dispatches from the front show that the German line has been bent bick from five to seven miles by the mighty offensive of the British and French troops. Military critics hail this achievement as one f remarkable importance in view of the strength of the German positions and the great amount of artillery and ammunition massed behind the German front that the Germans have the advantage of strategic highways and railways for the quick shifting of troops, but this advantage has proved futile in the offorts to halt the advances of the allied troops. The capture of Fries, south of the Somme, has wiped out the German salient, which extended into the French line at that point,, and ha6 also placed the allies in a position to menace important military roads. LATIN AMERICA CAUSES DELAY BY CARRANZA WASHINGTON, July 3. Pressure by the Latin-American diplomatic corps in Mexico City is the real reason for the delay in sending to Washington Carranza's reply to the American demand that he outline his purposes toward the American forces In Mexico. Latin-Americans here, who have been working in unison with their colleagues at the Carranza capital, admitted as much today. And they expressed confidence that they yet wfluld be able to get a reply made to this government that would satisfy the United States, or at least would be made the medium for further negotiations. Meanwhile, however, there will be no let-up in the activity of the United States. SAFETY AND SANITY FAILS TO DECREASE FIREWORKS DEMAND Fireworks are just as much In demand this year as in former years, according to George Brehm, who says that all local dealers are selling out their stock. "We expected that in the face of the agitation for a safe and sane Fourth the sale of fireworks would show a marked decrease from year to year, and we have been surprised by the ready sale of all sorts of fireworks. CHURCH PROVIDES FANS. Every effort is being made by the First Christian church to provide comfort for the people who attend the Sunday evening services during the summer months.
