BERLIN, via Ixmdon. July 11. Re
peated attacks by the British and
Krench troops on the Somme front
have failed to win the German posi
tions against which they were directed,
says the War Office announcement to
day. It follows:
""Between the Ancre and the Somme,
the British launched attacks with
strong forces during the afternoon and
right. Over a wide front on both sides
of the Bapaume-Albert road and north
west of this road they were shot down
before the attack came to close fight
ing. East of the road stubborn fight
ing developed on the southern fringe
of the village of Contalmaison and on
the fringe of Mametz wood.
British Lose 100 Prisoners.
. "Repeated attempts by the enemy to
recapture Trones wood failed with
heavy and sanguinary losses. He also
lost 100 prisoners.
"South of the Somme a. vigorous at
tack by French black troops against
I.a Maisonette Height was met by an
overpowering fire. The few colored
troops who penetrated our lines fell
at the point of German bayonets or
were taken prisoner.
"As a result of counter attacks yes
terday against Barleux five officers
and 147 men remained in our hands.
There was important artillery fighting
throughout the whole sector. Our
curtain of fire checked all attempts by
the enemy to attack between Belloy
and Hardecourt.
Cjas Attacks VnHucceMsful.
"Lively artillery duels occurred in
the region of the Meuse. On the re
mainder of the front there was in
creased artilery action at places. The
enemy made several unsuccessful gas
attacks. Patrol and reconnoitering de
tachments of our enemies were re
pulsed everywhere. Near Leintrey in
Lorraine a German detachment, after
an extensive mine explosion, pene
trated a badly damaged French posi
tion and took 60 men prisoner. South
of Lusse some prisoners were brought
In by a patrol.
"There was great activity in the
aerial service and numerous encounters
occurred in which the enemy lost two
machines on the Somme and two west
of Vouziers. A British biplane was
shot down by anti-aircraft guns near
Courcelette, on the Bapaume-Albert
road."
GETS TAFT PLEA

No Reply Made to Promise That Red
Cross. Would See That o Sup
plies Go to Military.
WASHINGTON'. July 11. The Ameri
can Red Cross -made public today a let
ter from William H. Taft, chairman of
the society's central committee, which
lias been forwarded by the State De
partment to the British Foreign Office,
asking that a Red Cross commission be
permitted to go into territory con
trolled by the Teutonic allies and dis
tribute relief supplies.
The British Government is barring
such supplies now on the ground that
withdrawal of the Red Cross Hospital
units has left no distributing agency
to insure that consignments are not
put to military use.
Mr. Taft's letter pledges the faith
of the Red Cross that the proposed
commission, names of whose 'members
would be submitted to the British gov
v eminent in advance, would see that the
supplies went for relief purposes only.
The foreign office has not replied.
nounced today that an Austrian cruiser
had sunk four or five British, armored
patrol-boats. Only nine men from the
British vessels were rescued. The an
nouncement follows:
"Our cruiser Novara met a group of
four, or, according- to the declarations
of prisoners, five armored British, patrol-boats
off Otrantp road (at the
lower end of the Adriatic). All ' the
patrol-boats were destroyed by artil
lery fire. All the steamy-s sank in
flames, three of them - after the ex
plosion of their boilers. The Novara
was able to rescue only nine members
of the British crews."
The Novara is a scout cruiser of
3384 tons displacement. She has fig
ured in several engagements in the
Adriatic.

Captain K. P. Williams, chief mus

has again taken up -with Governor
Wthycombe the question of filling the
Third Oregon to full war strength.
Colonel Clenard McLaughlin, now In
charge of the Third Oregon has tele

possible. Governor Wlthycombe ordered
Acting Adjutant-General Wilson to co
operate further in recruiting Oregon's

unless the urgently needed 700 men
are soon forthcoming there is a likeli
hood of Federal authorities consolidat
ing the Third Oregon Infantry now at
the front into two battalions.
The Southern Pacific and O.-W. K.
& N. have made arrangements to take
such care of their employes who enlist
that they will suffer practically no
monetary loss by giving their services
to their country.
The telegraph and telephone com
panies have also made similar arrange

Portland firms.
The first men to be sent South will
leave from Clackamas as soon as an ad

The Booth-Kelly Lumber Company has

follow the Strahorn line. ', We have not
been asked to buy bonds of the Stra

PRESS CAMP, British Army in
Prance. July 9. via London, July 11.
"It goes well," said General Foch. re
ceiving the Associated press corre
spondent, who came across from the
British lines to see something of the
French part in the battle of the Somme.
"It goes well!" was the phrase heard
from French officers and soldiers.
General Foch's quickness and deci
sion of manner singularfly expresses
the French spirit. While France was
withstanding the blows of Germans at
Verdun and all the world looked in that
direction, he was secretly preparing a
sledge-hammer blow in conjunction
with the British In that part of the
line hitherto conspicuous for its
quiet.
"We were here, and we went there,
gaining more prisoners than our total
losses," he said, as turning to a map
on the wall of his headquarters, with a
gesture toward the map that represent
ed a depth of four miles, the largest
gain the .French "have made on the
western front since the trench war
fare began.
"There is more to come," he added.
Sheila Stacked Everywhere.
Big guns, which were silent, and
other guns, slowly grumbling, were
drawn forward by big tractors along
routes thick with traffic. Railway
trains were unloading more shells at
the bases; shells were bein stacked
beside the roads and in the fields; new
roads were building; lines of light rail
way were being extended. There was
the same scene of prodigious industry
as back of Verdun, but this time, in
stead of being on the defensive, it was
overflowing on ground taken in the
offensive.
"Are we downhearted? No," called a
soldier in good English.
The supply of shells was kept on top.
Bearded veterans were using the debris
left by the Germans to make themselves
comfortable or to secure their new
trenches.
"Yes. I speak English." said an offi
cer. "I came from New York. Who
was saying that France had no punch
left well, what do you think of this?"
Some four or five hundred prisoners,
taken the previous night and waiting
to be marched to the railroad station,
were human lumps of utter exhaustion,
asleep on the ground. All expressed
the same astonishment that the French
should develop such a sudden and de
termined attack in that quarter. They
had understood that only the British
were to attack.
Parked nearby were 33 guns, all
taken by the colonial troops, which had
already put Its name and the date of
the capture on the trophies. One must
have beeh a piece of honor, for It bore
the German Emperor's monogram. Four
six-inch rifles were more prized than
this, and others, of field gun caliber,
most commented on. were four French
guns taken by the Germans at Mau
beuge, now retaken and to serve France
again.
Across battered first line trenches
through the ruins of Dompierre a good
sized village reduced and broken to
bricks and dust, where many German
dead were still visible in cellars and
underground warrens, the tide of sol
diery and material was still flowing up
to the new front. The country is flat,
preventing a many observation posts

British attacked around Albert, and

Captain Koenig was at the offices of

In command declined to allow the col
lector to bring his party aboard with

Captain Koenig freely gave when in

Captain Hughes and his assistants,
Lieutenant J. O. Fisher, of the Bureau
of Steam Engineering, and Naval Con
structor Herbert S. Howard, spent more
than two hours In the vessel. Captain
Hughes declined to discuss what he
had seen, but he said not only did the
young officer, who escorted them
through the boat, freely answer all
questions, but even volunteered infor
mation. "He was proud of his vessel and I
do not blame him," said Captain
Hughes. "It is a wonderful piece of
mechanism and a monument to German
inventive genius."
Deputy Surveyor. Hayward. who also
was one of the party, said that the
American experts seemed to be amased
at what they saw.
"It 'was all Greek to me." said Mr.
Hayward. "but the Navy engineers ap
peared almost dumbfounded. They
were highly enthusiastic and were con
tinually ejaculating."
Captain Koenig meanwhile was tak
ing luncheon at a hotel with a party
of officials of the North German Lloyd,
German-Americans of local prominence
and their wives. He sat at the head
of the table, was on his feet instantly
when the orchestra played "Die Wacht

when the "Star-Spangled Banner" was
played as the next selection.
The Deutschland began today unload
ing her cargo of dyestuffs. This task
probably will be completed on Thurs

The agents of the craft said today
that the cargo had been consigned "to
order" and would be delivered to con
cerns who presented bills of lading.
How these documents reached this

of the British they declined to explain.

RETUItX VOYAGE IS PLANNED
Deutschland Proved Unfitted, for In
stallation of Torpedo Tubes.
BALTIMORE. July 11. Confident
that the efforts of the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the entente allies to
have his vessel classed as a warship
and Interned will prove unavailing.
Captain Paul Koenig, master of the
German submarine Deutschland, is pre
paring to leave port on his return voy
age within 10 days.
Captain Koenig expressed satisfac
tion tonight when informed that three
American Naval officers, who today
inspected the Deutschland to determine
her status, had reported in effect that
not only was she an unarmed merchant
vessel now, but was so constructed that
she could not be converted into a war-
craft without practically being rebuilt.
Captain Koenig said he could only re
iterate, that the Deutschland, like other
submarines built or building for Ger
many's new underseas merchant fleet,
was designed solely as a. freight car
rier. At least eight of these vessels, it was
authoritatively learned here today, now
are building , at Kiel, and with these.
in addition to the Deutschland, and the
Bremen, already en route for an Ameri
can port. Germany expects in a measure
to re-establish her lost commerce and
mail communication with the rest of
the world. The view here Is that no
such project would have been under
taken had not the German interests be
hind it' been thoroughly satisfied that
the status of the vessels was unques
tionable. The torpedo being a submarine's es
sentia! weapon to make her effective
as a warcraft. It was the possibility
that the Deutschland might be pierced
for torpedo tubes that was the chief
concern of the American naval officers,
headed by Captain C. F. Hughes, who
inspected the vessel today. Not only
were none found, but an examination
of the forward part of the vessel's hull,
where torpedo tubes naturally would
be placed, revealed, it was learned,
that the structure was not substantial
enough to contain them. Before the
Deutschland could be armed like a
Gorman naval submarine, entire re
conduction forward would be neces
sary. Thic fact was sufficient, in the
minds of the American experts, to war
rant their decision that the Deutsch
and could -in no wise be considered a
war vessel.
The possibility that guns could be
mounted on her superstructure was
understood to have been considered
also. But there were .neither guns nor
emplacements in evidence.
Captain Hughes and his associates
had the entire freedom of the ship and
there was no space within the interior
that they did not explore. The Deutxeh
land's commander was not present dur
ing the examination, as Collector of
the Port Ryan, who, as represontative
of the Treasury Department, officially

ONTARIO. Or.. July 11. (Special.)
Edward F. Swift and Carlton B. Swift,
of Chicago, were in Ontario today on
their way to visit the holdings of
Swift &. Co., in Harney County, for
merly the P. and Double O ranches and
the Blitzen Valley Company's land.
They were accompanied by Frank Don

Jensen, of Beatrice, Neb., associated
with them In the Eastern Oregon Live
stock company.
Edward Swift indicated In conversa
tion that'part of the land which has
Its own irrigation system may be cut up
into smaller ranches and .colonized.
Whether this would be done or whether
It would all be stocked with cattle
on a larger scale has been debated here
and in Harney County ever since the
transfer of the property several months
ago. but a largo part of this immense
range will continue to be used for graz
ing purposes.
Last week the first shipment of 20,
000 Mexican cattle was received here
for the ranches from Arizona and Tex
as. The Swifts hope to secure from
them a breed of cattle better adapted
for Eastern Oregon range conditions
than the present native stock.
William Craven, who recently suc
ceeded William Hanley as superintend
ent of the land, is now on the ground.

loading- and refrigerating- of the car,
which was waybllled to Ogden and for
warded by express yesterday.
Berries, late grain and gardens were

the damage to the cherry crop is esti
mated at about 50 per cent. A normal
yield of prunes of good quality is ex
