The text of to day's statement by the British War Office is: Thick mist and incessant rain still are interfering with our operations in the neighborhood of the Somme, but to the north of Ovillers we made sub stantial progress last night on a. front of 1000 yards. The enemy was driven out of several strongly defended points and we captured some prisoners and x machine guns. "Near Wytschaete ' (Belgium), we made a successful raid into German trenches. Opposite Cuinchy (Northern France), a similar attempt by the enemy was frustrated by our fire. Another official statement issued to night said: 'After a bombardment with lachry matory and gas shells, the Germans commenced an attack against our po sitions in the vicinity of Longueval nd Delville wood. Heavy fighting is still in progress." CHICAGO. July 18. Henry J. Mc lntyre. a crazed negro, believing him self a prophet who must die to carry "a message to the Almighty," became violent here today and as a result of his frenzy there was a casualty list of six dead and three wounded. The ne gro and his wife were killed, but only after more than a hundred police had besieged his residence for more than three hours and had been forced to re-i sort to dynamite and fire to end the battle. Mclntyre had a congenial .helpmate In his wife. He claimed divine author ity and she believed in him. He did not believe in work for himself. His wife adopted this view also and paid the rent and the grocer's bill by taking in washing. When Mclntyre today strapped a belt of cartridges around himself and equipped himself with a pistol and a rifle, his spouse strapped on another belt and armed herself with a rifle. She fired the first shot at a neighbor on the other side of the fence: helped to barricade the house when the police came, and with her rifle helped to hold It three hours and a. half. Wife Die AVIth Husband. Tn the end she died with him. She . was riddled with bullets and the top of her head blown off. When Policeman Kdward Hughea entered the house he found her dead, crumpled up in the wreckage of the floor. Mclntyre, al ready wounded, was gasping and lean ing aspninst the Icebox. He turned and the policeman sent a bullet into his brain. This shot terminated the most ex citing episode on the West Side in years. One policeman was "dead and two others wounded. Mrs. Josephine Overmeyer's body had been dragged from Mclntyre's yard into her home and those of Edward Knox and Alfred Mathews, negroes living in nearby houses, lay on their respective front porches, where Mclntyre's accurate pistol shooting had taken their lives. Knox's wife, Sadie, was in a hospital with a bullet in her back, and the two wounded policemen were having arm and leg wounds dressed. Passenger trains, stalled for hours on nearby tracks out of respect to fly ing bullets, resumed running, and the crowd of thousands attracted by the hundreds of shots and the dynamiting of the building, was dispersed. ArKro tnne Regarded as "Queer.' Mclntyre, a stocky negro, intensely plack, had been -regarded as "queer for years. In 1912 Judge Charles S. Cutting, sitting in the probate court, was warned that a' negro for some unknown reason had designs on his life. When the former appeared, ball Iffs pounced on him and took a large knife away from him. He denied any wrong intentions and was permitted to go free. Some time during the heat of the July night Mclntyre's mania became acure. He wrote two letters one on sheet of brown wrapping paper and the other on a piece of yellow window shade. They were ill-spelled and rambling but they made it plain that the negro considered himself a pro phet a Messiah and that he had to die in order to take his report to the Almighty. These written, the husband and wife armed themselves. Mrs. Mclntyre fired on Mrs. William Blanchard, negro, who was feeding her chickens in an adjoin Ing backyard. This was the beginning. Mclntyre, armed with an automatic pistol, appeared on the back porch. Mrs. Overmeyer came on the scene looking for her husband, who had been attracted by the shots. Mclntyre took careful aim and she fell dead. Marksmanship Ii Unerring:. He then went to the front of the house, where Knox and his wife and Mathews had appeared on their re spective porches. The same unerring aim crumpled up the two men and wounded Mrs. -Knox. Policeman Stuart "Dean- and others responded to an alarm and burst into the house. Mclntyre, crouching re hind a trunk, killed Pean with his firs shot and wounded Policeman Clemen and Grover Crabtree. Their companion dragged them from the house and re lnforcements with rifles were sent for. The latter fired hundreds of shot Into the house, through front and rear windows, and these were returned by the couple inside. The latter, how ever, were unable to aim because of the attacking fire and shot at random. Fearing to risk ttie lives of his men further. Captain Wesley Westbrook or dered the house dynamited and three charges were exploded under it. After this there was a lull. Policeman Hughes, against the protests of his comrades, finally decided to investi gate and entered, ending the battle.

With the clearing of the weather the Germans have taken the aggressive here after a preliminary bombardment in which a new asphyxiating gas shell was used. At last accounts no decision had been reached In the battle.

' On the eastern front Vienna asserts that fresh Russian attacks in the ter ritory southwest of Lutsk were with out success, but says that in the Car pathian region near Zabie and Tatarow the Russians have pushed back Aus trian advanced posts, although the Austrian main line has been firmly held.

President Wilson and other ce lebrities probably will .pay formal visits to Oregon in the forthcoming political campaign. Mr. Hughes already has decided to visit the state some time between AU gust 15 and 20. It is probable, too, that Mr. Hughes will pass a part of his .vacation in Oregon. He has determined to devote two or three weeks before the actual campaign in the East gets under way to a hunting and fishing trip some where in the. Western mountains and Ralph i3. Williams, National Commit teeman from Oregon, telegraphed him a few days ago, to pass at least a part of that time in Crater Lake National Park. A favorable reply to the invitation is expected within the next few days.

It is prob able that the Republican-Progressive campaign committee will give this question formal consideration at its meeting in Portland on Saturday. T. R. May Attend Roundup. The Plan is to get the Colonel to come to Oregon for the Pendleton Roundup and then to have him make a few speeches while on the Coast Colonel Roosevelt frequently has ex pressed a desire to see the Roundup and inquired with a characteristic dis play of Interest about, it when he was here last. It is probable that the campaign com mittee wili extend him a formal invi tation after the meeting Saturday. It is probable that President Wilson also will visit the Coast this year.

One of the first things that both the Republican and the Democratic com mittees will take up is the question of obtaining speakers of National repute for campaign purposes. Another item on the programme for the . Republican-Progressive meeting Saturday is the formation of a women's auxiliary. It is pointed out that the women s advisory committee did valu able work for the Republican state committee four years ago, and a con tinuation of those efforts - is desired this year.

LONDON. July 18. Premier Asquith intimated in the House of Commons today that there was some basis for the adverse criticism of the conduct of the British expedition in Mesopota mia. After the battle of Cteziphon last November, he said. General Sir John Nixon, who was then in command, tel egraphed that the medical arrange ments were quite satisfactory. "Thousands died," one of the mem bers called. Later, Mr. Asquith continued, unoffi cial reports were received which seemed to point to a far different state of af fairs and a commission was appointed to investigate the whole matter. In the Mesopotamia operations, the Pre mier continued, incidents had occurred which had aroused doubt whether the best means had been adopted to bring about ends in view. The Premier's remarks were brought out by demands for publication of the papers in regard to the Mesopotamia and Dardanelles expeditions. Mr. Asquith said the papers could not be published without assisting Great Britain's enemies and prejudicing the operations now in progress in Mesopotamia. Sir Edward Carson, speaking of the Mesopotamia expedition, said that thou sands of people in this country thought It had been conducted with criminal negligence. TFrance Calls Men 47 and 48. PARIS.
