Use R T feapetic Un London, June 30.—The sixth day of the British bombardment of the German lines from Ypres to the Somme was featured by an increasing number of trench raids. These raids are Invariably preceded by shelling the enemy’s trench, with here and there a concentrated fire by the new trench mortars, the range and general effectiveness of which have been greatly increased. Yesterday the greatest activity was on the center of the British line, where gas was used with deadly ef- fect in the region of La Bassee. All the morning newspapers today print lengthy headquarters’ accounts of the fighting, which testify to the extravagance in the use of shells b, the British forces. The Daily Mail says: “The Germans are answering our .great bombardment and are well sup- plied with shells; but they have never before employed artillery on such a scale on so . ide a front as we are doing. An extensive, as against an in-extensive, method is now on trial and has clearly much agitated the enemy, causing him many losses and left our artillery free to enter his trenches at night, here, there and everywhere.” New Council for Co-Ordination Holds Its First Meeting Washington, June 30.—Six cabinet officers, composing the new ‘“coun- cil of executive information for co- ordination of industries and resources for national security and welfare,” held a preliminary organization meet- ing today at the War department. Tentative rules and plans of action were adopted for President Wilson’s approval, and the selection of a civil- ian_advisory commission considered. Co-ordination of military, industrial and commercial resources to “render posgible in time of need the imme- diate concentration and utilization of the resources of the nation,” is the object of the new body. It is com- !wud of the secretaries of war, navy, ntérior, agriculture, commerce and labor. ; An initial appropriation of $200,000 for investigations, employment of ex- erts and other activities' is carried b'll."" pending army appropriation "|Gothenburg Men.

Autos Take Place of Cars In Bustling Clarinda Clarinda, ITa., June 30.—(Special.)— The statement made by the Ames college professor that Iowa has more autos and flivvers than bathtubs is not startling to Clarindans. This city perhaps has more autos in proportion to population than any other city in the state. On account of this fact Clarinda is without street cars, and in all probability will remain so many years, despite the large area covered by the city proper. Clarinda is a city of 5,500 and there is one machine to every eleven per- sons. “Everybody knows everybody else. When going anywhere in a hurry it's just a matter of stopping ‘Bill' or Jim’ as he whizzes by and invitinj him to haul one to the distant desti- nation,” declared Senator Sipe, one of the leading attorneys of Clarinda, who is also keen on statistics. “However,” added Mr, Stipe, “Clar- inda has more bathtubs than autos, I'm sure.” _ Opportunities for Saving in This Sale of ILET ARTICLES AND DRUGS A sale that suggests the advisability of buying now, of buying plentifully, of ' Staple Proprietary MEDICINES | ¢ Supplies & handle 8 fall line of 0 Cameras and kodak : lies.

While admitting that no other sen- tence but that of death could have been pronounced by the court, the Guardian says: “Casement was a fanatic, and his crimes: like that of many other fana- tics, are free from the taint of sordid- ness and meanness. The death pen- alty will do nothing to kill such dreams as his. Rather it will give them life. 4 “For the sake of the new Ireland which we hope to see, it is a moment for clemency.” An indirect plea for mercy is made by other papers on the ground that the execution of Casement would not assist in settling the Irish problem. Kitchener’s Estate is Nearly One Million June 30.—The will of Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, the British secretary of war, who lost his life in the sinking of the cruiser Hampshire off the Orkneys June 5, was admitted to probate today. It shows_that he left an estate valued at £171,420 (approximately $850,000). The largest bequests were the sum of £20,000 to his nephew, Henry Hamilton Kitchener, and the Broome Park estate, and all lands in Kent county to his nephew, Commander Henry Franklin Chevallier Kitchener of the Royal navy, a son of the new earl.
