the county and state fairs were some

attraction at San Francisco, but this
year the energy and effort should be
directed toward the upbuilding of
the county and state expositions. The
board of directors of the county fair

list, though the intrinsic value of the
award should in no way influence the
exhibitor In deciding him to be rep

the better. Of most absorbing ln-j

BRITISH TEST
London, July 17. Within the next
few days the British advanced lines
must withstand Germany's most pow
erful counter-attacks since the start
of the allied offensive July 1. The
newly-won positions out of Posleres.
from which the Germans were forced
out, will be the point of attack.
This was the opinion of military
observers here today. They pointed
out that the Germans flare admitted
ly transferred large Reserve forces
to this salient from Verdun. Knowl
edge of that fact made the British
success reported yesterday by Gen
eral Ralg all the more satisfactory,
but it likewise gave notice to mili
tary experts here that the Germans,
feeling the menace In the British en
circling movement from Posleres
westward and eastward from Hill
141, south of Thiepral, would at
tempt Its checking with every re
source of men and guns at their com
mand.
In their positions at Posleres the
British are only a trifle over six miles
from Bapaume, the Immediate ob
jective of the British drive. At one
point, at least, they have penetrated
the third line of the German front.

J Apparently there was a lull In the
infantry attacks along the British
front today. Feverish activity in
throwing up entrenchments and con
solidating their gains will be neces-
compiisnea
It is not expected that
there will be another forward drive.
