BRITISH REPORT
ONLY MINOR GAINS
Asquith, However, Tells Com
mons That Great Offensive
Has Only Begun.
HOLIDAYS TO BE OMITTED
Worker- -kori to Continue Efforts
to Supply Munitions in tlie Con
tinued and Overwhelming
Quantities Demanded.
LONDON. July 13. The status of the
contending armies in Flanders and
France tonight is much "the same as
yesterday, except that the British War
Office reports tonight that minor gains
have been made at some points and po
sitions already held strengthened. The
French report mentions only artillery
duels along the Somme.
In a statement to the House of Com
mons today Premier Asquith said that
the entente allied offensive on the
western front is only in Its beginning.
The government has decided to ask
workers to forego their August holi
days because of the demand for muni
tions in France. He expressed convic
tion that the workmen would co-operate
in this plan, so as to make it plain
to Great Britain's foes that the offen
sive, in its present intensity of bom
bardment and assault, would, if neces
sary, be "continued indefinitely."
Bank Holidays Postponed.
The Premier also announced that by
royal proclamation the August bank
holidays would be postponed, and he
appealed to all classes for postpone
ment of all holidays until further and
definite progress of the offensive had
been secured.
The Premier recalled that the June
and July holidays had been postponed
in view of the urgent military require
ments of the moment, and he had to ac
knowledge on the part of the govern
ment a full response by the -workers to
his appeal at that time. Since then, he
added, a great and favorable change in
the military situation has been pro
duc d by the allied offensive now in
progress. .
"This offensive." he continued, "is
only in its beginning and it necessarily
lequires for its succsss a continuous
supply of munitions of all kind.3.
Vast Munitions Required.
"From the success achieved, we have
ben able to gauge the paramount
necessity of avoiding even the slightest
risk of restriction of the use of mu
nitions In the field, not merely in the
weeks immediately before us, but until
our objective is achieved. In the opin
ion of the commander in chief, there
must be no slackening in the output,
even for a moment."
Representatives of the Admiralty and
the Ministry of Munitions, he added,
would meet representatives of the
workmen and employers to secure their
co-orjeratlon, and he was sure this
would be forthcoming, and that the
forces In the field would be given en
couragement and the'enemy discour
agement in the certain knowledge that
the present intensity of bombardment
mid, assault will, if necessarv, be con
tinued indefinite!-.
OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS
British.
LONDON, July 10. The official state
ment issued by the War Office at
2 P. M. today says:
"Heavy artillery duels were in prog
ress in certain sectors of the battle
area since the last report, and righting
continued at various points on the
front, but there was no change in the
situation on any part of our line.
"West of Wyschaete and south of La
Bassce Canal the enemy attempted to
raid our trenches, but he was driven
off in each case.
"Despite unfavorable weather our
aeroplanes have been constantly at
work. Hostile machines were active,
but all their attacks on our aeroplanes
operating over the German lines were
driven off. One of our aeroplanes is
missing."
The official statement issued tonight
reads:
"The artlljery on both sides has been
active throughout the day. As a result
of sharp infantry fighting we are not
only maintaining our pressure on tho
enemy, but have appreciably advanced
our line at various points on the battle
front.
"In one sector of tho front we cap
tured some German howitzers, with a
quantity of ammunition. These will
be used against the enemy at a suit
able opportunity."

PUYALLUP BERRY CROP BIG
Nearly 8000 Pickers Are AVorking;
2OO0 More Are Nedcd.
PUTALLUP, Wash.. July 13. (Spe
cial.) The Puyallup "Valley is shipping
10 to IS cars of red raspberries daily.
Each car contains from 600 to 700
crates. They are consigned chiefly to
Rocky Mountain and Middle Western
cities.
About 8000 pickers are working, but
trowel's are still about 2000 short.
Pickers are scarce and difficult to hold
when obtained. Since the rains have
stopped, the berries are in fine ship
ping condition. Cherries are being sent
from Salem and North Yakima for use
in some of the canneries. Most of the
valley cherries have been cracked by
rain.
PARIS, July 13. The text of today's
oflic iai statement is:
"There have been intermittent artil
lery exchanges along the front of the
Somme.
"In the Champagne district we pene
trated a salient of the German line in
the vidtnlty of Prosnes and brought
back some prisoners.
"In the Argonnc two surprise at
tacks delivered by the enemy on the
northern and eastern portions of the
Bolante salient failed under our Are.
At La Fille Morte we caused the ex
plosion of a mine and then occupied
the southern side of the crater.
"On the right bank of the Meuse
there has been no infantry fighting.
During the night, however, there was
an intense bombardment in the sectors
of Souvllle, Chenois and La Laufee.
In the osges an attack by the
enemy upon one of our trenches south
of Carspach has been repulsed after a
spirited engagement with hand gren
ades."
The supplementary communication is
sued tonight reads:
'Except for a somewhat spirited
bombardment In the sector of Souville,
on the right" bank of the Meuse, there
is no event of fmportance to report on
the front."
Gentians on Western Front.
BERLIN, via London, July 13. The
German official statement today re
garding the western front says:
"Artillery fire continued with great
intensity south of the Somme. The
French met with no success in attacks
which they several times began on
both sides of Barleux and near the
west of Estrees. They were com
pelled to turn back, urjder our effective
curtain of fire, suffering the most
sanguinary losses.
"The British have established them
selves at Contalmaison.
"East of the Meuse artillery firing
continues actve. Infantry positions
won have been consolidated. The num
ber of prisoners has increased by 17
officers and 243 men and now stands at
50 officers and 2349 men.
"Near Freilingheim on La Bassee
Canal, on La Fille Morte Height, east
of Badonvillers and near Plerzbach.
German patrol engagements were suc
cessful, i
"North of Soissons a French bi
plane was compelled to land within our
lines."
Germans on Eastern Front.
BERLIN, via London, July 13. The
text of today's statement concerning
the fighting on the eastern front is:
"Kastern theater, army group of Gen
eral Count von Bothmer German
troops, by an encircling counter attack,
carried near and to the north of Olessa
northwest of Buczacz, drove back the
Russian troops which had pushed for
ward and. more than 400 prisoners wore
taken."
Ku.ssian.
PETROGRAD, via London. July 13.
The capture of more than 2000 prison
ers by the Russians in desperate fight
ing west of the Lower Strlpa In Gallcla
is announced by the War Office in to
day's official statement. The state
ment says:
"On the Dvina above and below
Frledrichstadt we carried out success
ful reconnaissances.
"On the Stokhod there has been an
artillery duel.
"In Galicia. in the region west of the
Lower Stripa, desperate fighting has
occurred in many places, the enem
launching energetic counter-attacks.
We took more than 2000 men prisoners
and captured guns and some machine
guns.
"Caucasus front West of the
Erzerum lino we carried out a success
ful offensive. The Turks vainly at
tempted to launch counter attacks."
Austrian.
VIENNA, via London, July 13. The
official statement from general head
quarters issued today reads:
"West and northwest of Buczacz the
enemy again attacked General von
Bothmer's allied armies with strong
forces. While part of the attacking
columns collapsed before our obstacles,
other parts succeeded in penetrating a
section of our position. But they were
speedily ejected by a swift counter at
tack. We took many prisoners.
"On the Stokhod. astride the Kovel
Sarny railroad, we repulsed Russian
attacks.
"On the Italian front we have re
pulsed further heavy attacks in our
Monte Rasta sector."
Thursday's War Moves.
THE most violent fighting In the
great entente allied offensive is on
the eastern front, where General Brus
siloff's tremendous blows are being
continued without apparent lull or
hesitation. Temporarily, at least, the
Austro-Germans appear to have halted
the Russian advance along the Stok
hod. Both sides are reported to be
hurling huge reinforcements of men
and guns into this titanic struggle, tho
prize of which is the immensely impor
tant strategic town of Kovel.
Farther to the south a battle of al
most equal intensity Is raging on the
lower Stripa. where the Russians are
striking north in an effort to crush
General von Bothmer and flank the
entire Austro-German line.
The Austrians admit that the Rus
sians penetrated Von Bothmer's front
at some points, but assert they were
driven' out again in counter attacks.
The Russians say they have taken 200J
prisoners, but make no mention of a
gain in territory.
The British have held their gains on
their portion of the Somme front, and
the usual period of consolidation and
the pushing "forward of the big artil
lery is presumed to be taking place.
.A similar situation exists on the
Freflch line, and a remarkably brier
French official statement of Thursday
night simply records the contlnuanco-
of the bombardment at t ort bouvlllc
in the Verdun region.
Two Important statements in regard
to the situation on the western front
were made in London on Thursday.
Premier Asquith. speaking In the
House of Commons, declared that the
British supply of munitions was ample
and that the Franco-British offensive
was merely at Its beginning.
The second statement was made by
Minister of War Lloyd George, address
ing an allied conference on equipment.
The Minister of War declared that the
British output of ammunition soon will
be overwhelming. He asserted that the
tide of victory now is flowing in the
direction of the entente allies, and
predicted that it would continue to
do so.

One death from heat was reported in
Toledo. Ohio, and there were five other
deaths at scattering points through
out the country. Prostrations were not
as numerous as on Wednesday, due to
a. canopy of clouds over nearly the en

took additional precautions today.
Chicago had maximum temperature

pointing out that the danger of being
attacked by sharks in waters near
New York was less than that of being
struck by lightning.
Stragglers of the dangerous tropical
species that had acquired a taste for
human flesh had been known to stray
into northern waters, he said. A hun

GERMANS ARE FIRM
Dr. Aked Finds War Party in
Strong Ascendancy.
SEA BATTLE ENCOURAGES
Retention of Part of Bcgium, Strip
of Serbia, Return of Colonies
and Compensation for Losses
in Congo Demanded.
STOCKHOLM, June 21. (Correspond
ents of the Associated Press.) Re
gardless of the decision history ulti
mately will record as to victor and
vanquished in the great North Sea
naval fight of May 31 and June I,
there is no denying the fact that the
battle brought a sudden stiffening to
the so-called "war party" in Germany.
All talk of Germany's being willing
to end the war on a basis of the ante
bellum status quo ended.
It is being given out now in neu
tral Europe that Germany will require
"a slight rectification of her frontier
at the expense of Belgium." It Is fur
ther asserted that it will be necessary
for the central powers to keep a strip
of Serbia in order that the railway to
Constantinople snail always run
through "friendly" country. Germany
always has maintained that her colo
nies should be returned to her. It is
now added that there must be compen
sation for German losses in the Congo.
Something also must be done, it is
stated, "to keep Belgium from being
the vassal state of England."
Aked Received by High Officials.
Dr. Charles F. Aked. of San Fran
cisco, one of the American delegates
to the, neutral conference for continu
ous mediation, sitting In Stockholm,
was in Berlin on a mission of peace at
the time of the North Sea fight. It is
commonly reported he was there by in
vitation of the German government.
At any rate, he seems to have had no
difficulty in obtaining audiences from
most of the higher officials.
Dr. Aked brought back a gloomy re
port. There seemed to be no thought
anywhere that the war would end
within another year. The new state
ment of peace terms that would be de
manded by the new dominant "war
party." coupled with the governmental
announcement that peace could be had
only upon a basis of consideration for
the military situation of the opposing
armies and without consideration as to
the cause of the war. appears to have
chilled even the most ardent of the
peace advocates.
Belgium Bought With Blood.
Dr. Aked is said to have suggested
to officials in Berlin that the neutral
nations would not look with favor upon
German retention of any of Belgium
and to have received the answer:
"The neutral nations are not going
to dictate to the 120,000.000 of the cen
tral powers. We have bought the land
of Belgium with our blood. Germany
must be protected against future at-

tacks. Shall we give back all we have
won at such great cost? Shall we give
up the valuable coal and Iron lands of
France now In our hands? As to Serbia
and Montenegro, they have had their
lesson, I hope. We shall leave Austria
to deal with them.
Even the extreme pacifists In Ger
many are said to have told the emis
sary from the neutral conference that
the time was not ripe for overtures
of peace. Irrespective of the conflict
ing claims of victory, it was said the
naval fight had lengthened the war bv
12 months at least. The only thing the
pacifists could do now was to wait
for the right moment and seize it when
it came.
Money and Men Seem Plentiful.
Dr. Aked reported to the conference
that he found everywhere in Germany
the conviction tnac the German armies
cannot be beaten in the field and that
the allies cannot exhaust German
resources. Money and men seemed to
be plentiful, he said, and an American
living in Berlin asserted there were
hundreds of thousands of men, trained
to the minute, who had not yet been
on any firing line. Extremists of the
"war party" were most confident in
their military claims. They asserted
that they had no fear of the English
or Russian armies, because of their de
ficiency in trained officers.
It is said Dr. Aked found little senti
ment favoring the United States as a
mediatory agent. There is a strong
feeling in Germany against the United
States.
Dr. Aked interviewed In Germany
men who last July issued a protest
against the suggested annexation of
Belgium. This protest described an
nexation as a "political blunder fraught
with grave consequences and calculated
not to strengthen but fatally to weaken
the German Empire." and further
stated:
."We subscribe to the principle that
the policy of annexation in the case of
the peoples accustomed to political in
dependence is to be rejected.
"This utterance is a voice that
nothing can silence." said Dr. Aked.
"But, of course, these moderate men
are not the only men of influence in
Germany and will not nave matters
their own way when it comes to a
settlement. Between the moderate men
and the war party there is constant
strife. The continuance of the war
the nature and conduct of the war. are
issues sharply drawn between a "better
Germany' and the "war party.' It Is
really of more importance to the world
as to which of these parties shall win
In Germany than the more popular
question of who will be victorious in
the trenches. If the Jingoes win. the
world will have to deal with a dif
ferent Germany a Germany flushed
with victory and uncompromising in
her triumph, or else the world must
look with anguish upon years of
fiercer war, while the beat fruits of
civilization are utterly destroyed."
Dr. Aked said he found much to en
courage him, however, as to Germany's
possible attitude after the war toward
arbitration, "as a law above the
sword."
r5.000 German Workmen St,rike.
AMSTERDAM, via London. July 13.
The bocialist newspaper. Tribune, as
serts that ns.OOO workmen employed
in the munition factories and electrical
works in Berlin and in an aerodrome
at Johanisthal have gone on strike as
a protest against the prison sentence
imposed on Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the
Socialist leader, for participation in the
May-day demonstration at Berlin.
FACTORIES NOW COMPLETE
Twice ad Much Ammunition Now Be-

Drive of September.
LONDON", July 13. David Lloyd
George. British Minister of War. pre
siding today at an entente allied con
ference on equipment, declared that the
combined offensive of the aUlCB had
wrenched the Initiative from the Ger
mans, never, he trusted, to return.
'We have'erossed the watershed." he
said, 'and now victory Is beginning to
flow ln our direction. This change is
due to the Improvement in our equipment."
The conference was held at the War
Office and was participated in by Al
bert Thomas, French Minister of Muni
tions; General Bellaeff, assistant Min
ister of War of Russia: General A.
Uall 'Olio, member of the Italian Min
istry of War. and the new British Min
ister of Munitions, Edwin S. Montague.
Allies Fortune Changing.
"Since our last munitions confer
ence," said Mr. Lloyd George, "there
has been a considerable change in the
fortunes of the allies. On that date the
Champagne offensive in the west had
Just failed to attain its objective and
the French and British armies had
sustained heavy losses without the
achievement of any particular success.
In the east the enemy had pressed the
gallant armies of Russia back some
hundred miles and the Balkans 'had
Just been overrun by the central pow
ers.
"The overwhelming victories won by
the valiant soldiers of Russia have
struck terror Into the hearts of our
foes and there, coupled with the im
mortal defense of Verdun by our In
domitable French comrades and the
brave resistance of the Italians against
overwhelming odds In the Southern
Alps, have changed the whole complex
ion of the landscape.
Now the combined offensive in the
east and west has wrenched the initia
tive out of the hands of the enemy
never. I trust, to return to his grasp.
v e have crossed the watershed and
now victory Is beginning to flow in
our direction.
Kqulpmrnt Continues to Improve.
"Why have our prospects Improved?
The answer is, the equipment of our
armies has Improved enormously and
is continuing to improve.
The British navy until recently has
absorbed more than half the metal
workers of this country. The task of
building new ships and repairing the
old ones for the gigantic navy and fit-,
ting and equipping them occupied the
energies of a million men. Most of our
new factories now are complete: most
of the machinery has been set up.
Hundreds of thousands of men and
women. hitherto unaccustomed to
metal and mechanical work, have been
trained for munitions making.
"Every month we are turning out
hundreds of guns and howitzers, light,
medium and heavy. Our heavy guns
are rolling in at a great rate and we
are turning out nearly twice as much
ammunition in a single week and,
what is more, nearly three times as
much heavy shells as we fired for the
great offensive in September, although
the ammunition we expended in that
battle was the result of many weary
weeks' accumulation.
lata Difficulties Solved.
"Our main difficulties in organiza
tion, construction, equipment, labor
supply and readjustment have been
solved. If officials, employers and
workmen keep at it with the same zeal
and assiduity as they have hitherto
employed, our supplies soon will be
overwhelming.
"I cannot help thinking that the im
provement in the Russian ammunition
has been one of the greatest and most
unpleasant surprises the enemy has
sustained. Still our task is but half
accomplished. Every great battle fur
nishes additional proof that this Is a
war of equipment. More ammunition
means more victories and fewer casualties."

Damages of $500 Awarded Govern
ment for Timber Cut.
John J. Beckman. Assistant United
States Attorney, took a decree from
Federal Judge Bean yesterday under
stipulation against the Shockley Sc. Uc
Murron Lumber Company, of Baker
Or., canceling a patent to a quartet
section of land, and awarding the Gov
ernment $500 damages for timber cut
off the land by the company. The $500
was promptly paid by representatives
of the company.
The Government sued the Shockley
A. McMurren Lumber Company for the
cancellation of the patent on the ground
that it was taken up illegally for their
benefit by Charles Schaffner. It was
alleged by the Government that the
