BRITISH OFFENSIVE IS MOVING NORTHWARD i El Plan Asserted to Be to Pre vent Exposure of Troops to Flank Attacks, BALKAN DRIVE EXPECTED r ranch Troops Embark for Salonlki; 750,000 Hen Beady There; Austria Withdraws Most of Her Troops. Ixindon, July S.- (I. N. S.) Inten sion of the British drive to the north ward of the Somme sector commenced today, with bombardment of the im portant railway junction of Uoi.ai. and military clitics who have belie ve-J that a big smash was' coming onf the old "bloody ground" of Arras and Neuve C'hapelle, in an effort to win Lens and s ana justi- Iille, saw in the admitted event flcntion of their predictions. The British plan, it is asserted. Is not to drive further on t lie narrow Somme salient, where gains haw- been i made, but to spread the front of the j attack, bo that the troops holding the f ground already won from the (Jermar.s ' will not he exposed to assaults from . the flanks. Support was given this , theory also by tne official announce- 1 merit made that heavy cannonade was ' in progress at Gommecourt, the i farthest north of the first great of-I tensive, while farther to the eouth, opposite lSapaumc, the British infan-1 tfy was not reported to be actively attacking. Big On ns Being Advanced. I Outside of the British offensive to- ward Gommecoui t and Donai, it was i both British and trench were still bus ily consolidating the positions gained while the hiK guns which smashed the German resistance in early days of the drive were being brought up to renew tneir blasting work when the moment for another smash forward shall come. The same tactics pursued before the start of the drive a week asio are ap parently to be resorted to again. Bombing by aviators and the bombard mem of support points and traffic ecu ters -back or the Uernian lines is pro ceeding, with the object of preventing a massing of Germans in sufficient force to enable them to successfully counter-attack positions gainej by tho allies until the latter have had time to organize them sufficiently to resist as sault. n this supposition London ex pects to hear at any hour that another terrific cannonade has begun, this to ba followed by another advance of infan try in force. French Embark for Salonlki. ! The greatest interest was aroused today by reports that French troops held at ilitylene have embarked for Saloruki and In the Balkans another allied smash at the Germans and their Bui gar aids is expected to be th; ' nc -a big movement. It is semi-offi-t lally admitted that nearly TjO.OoO British, French and Serbian troops are ready at Salonikl. Opposed to them It Is probable that there Is only the Bulgar araiy for, hard pressed on the Italian and Russian fronts, Austria, ii. 1 understood to have withdrawn most If ' not a'. 1 of he" troops from the Balkans and it is more t.ian doubtful If there are many German units left in thai field. Bnlgrarla Left Almost Alone. I If these calculations are correct, and especially if Koumania conies in It Is still not impossible that the : world war will be brought to a decis j ion in the near east. Turkey is known i to have removed large bodies of he..- i troops into Asia, and Bulgaria, lei: practically adone to face the entente ; allies, is not believed capable of a prolonged resistance. If this drive Is . started soon and there is every evi- j dence that it will beit would com- ; plete the ring of assaults In which the central empires are enmeshed I With foes pressing on every tront, t lie ! Russians hammering in the east. Italy j driving forward in the south and France ! anil Britain blasting their way througu Picardy toward the Rhine,' london feels that the prospect of a final col lapse ot fhe Teuton power will measurably near. Biff a Front Is Active. No confirmation has come to Lon uon ot reports from Kome that a general retreat of the Germans in the , Russian front has actually started, j but partial retirements are known to be in progress. WhetbaVr they will i become general depends, probably, on I the way the balance of victory shall swing on the Riga front, where Gen erals Kuropafkin and Kvert are emash lnif hard with guns and men against Von Ilindenburg and the army of Prince Leopold.

Ten thousand .N'e York citizens, members of the Home Defense league, were called out today by Acting Police Com missioner Leo odley to aid in the figb,t being waged by government and municipal health authorities ugain.st the infantile paralysis epidemic. Kight een more deaths and LHi cases were re ported totlay. This brings the total number of deaths for the week up to J 2(5. and the total numler of cases re ported to the health authorities to S92. A majority of the deaths and new cases were in Brooklyn. Tlie fatalities showed a slight de crease from previous days, 22 having d ied. yesterday in the same period, and 24 each on Wednesday and Thursday. With six federal health olfictrs un der the leadership of Vr. William C. Kucker here, ifl'orts to curb the dis ease were redoubled today. It was admitted, however, that tho excessive heat it was nearly !'0 this after noon was likely to cause additional deaths and more new cases. Close Watch Is Kept. From 4 o'clock until midnight each day, a league member will accompany a patrolman in his rounds and assist him in seeing that his orders are not violated.

Dr. Webster described at length the .snuffing out of the dog's lives, telling of the exact way In which the poison operated. He did not say how many of the dogs were slutn since the Lambert tragedy to prove the state's point against Orpet. "Waukegan, 111., July 8. (I. N. p.) The state has rested In the Orpet case.

Kraft's testimony Is the first evi dence introduced during the trial to show that the d'fendant had pur chased cyanide in any form, previous efforts of tiie prosecution having b-en directed toward attempting to nhow that the poison which caused Marian Lambert's death was obtained by Or pet from supplies k-pt by his father lor gardening put-popes. Orpet's father testified for the de fense in rebuttal of Ktuft's testimony. The witness declared thut he tele phoned the druggist for the cvanide of potassium and sent his son to tho store to bring it home. He added that Will was home from college at tna lime on a vacation. Prosecution Fights Hard. Orpet's prosecutors fought hard to day, as the case nearcd Its close, to bteak down by rebuttal testimony the wall of evidence builded by Orpet's de fense about the theory that Marian Ivcmbert killed herself. With the testimony due to end be fore night, and closing statemtnts to the Jury expected early next week, States Attorney Oady battled to dis credit the testimony of the defense's poison experts and psychologist. After seven weeks of trial, in which the contradictory theories of bulctde and murder have been aired, botn de fense and prosecution were confident. Iiady is expected to demand the death penalty. Jury to Oat Case Thursday. The case is expected to be '.n the Jury's hands no later than next Thurs day night. Orpet himself is confi dent of acquittal, or, at the worst, a jury disagreement. I)r. Ralph J. Webster, chemist, who was the state's most convincing wit ness as a poison expert, was cross- examined by the defense today to break down his story that It was cya nide of potassium that was found In the Orpet greenhouse and not cya nide of soda, as the denfense experts had contended. Marian's death was due, all admitted, to cyanide of po- tasf.lum. The witness stuck to previously ex pressed opinions that cyanide of so dium could not cause the spots on the girl's coat which have figured so large ly in the trial. He also reiterated the belief that the spots came on the coat white the girl's body was lying in a horizontal position. Analysis Zs Attacked.
