OOAST GUARD JOINS HUNT New York, July 14.—At almost low tide today the body of Lester Still- well was found in Matawan creek abont 200 feet from the spot where he disappeared after being attacked by a shark. The body had been bit- ten nearly in to above the waist line. Shark hunters at Matawan creek believe they have this shark penned up in the creek behind a series of wire nets which have been strung across the creek at intervals from its mouth to the scene of the tragedy, sixteen miles from the entrance. Men, armed with shotguns, rifles and harpoons, patrolled the waters of the cree again today. Some of them said they had seen five of the big fish near the oint where W. Stanley Fisher and ?.ester Stillwell were killed. They made preparations for a shark drive at noon today, when the ebb tide will leave only a few feet of water in the creek. Dynamite will be exploded again in an effort to stun the sharks and bring them to the surface. .

Little Eope is entertained for his recovery, Coast Guard Joins Hunt. Washington, July 14.—Tragic stor- ies of attack by sharks upon bathers along the New Jersey coast were dis- cussed at today’s meeting of the cab- inet. Later Secretary McAdoo an- nounced that the coast guard would be ordered to do what it could to- ward clearing the coast of the dan- erous fish and preventing further oss of life. Instructions were sent by the Treasury department both to the coast guard cutters and life-savin stations to aid in killing sharks an when possible warn resorts of their proximity. 3 Secretary Redfield told the cabinet that the bureau of fisheries had been unable to offer any scientific explana- tion of the unprecedented attacks upon human beings. ! A formal statement made public by Acting Commissioner Moore of the fisheries bureau said the bureau exrem reluctantly had been com- pelled to come to the conclusion that no certain effective preventive meas- ures could be recommended, but ad- vised a shark-catching campaign and warned bathers to stay in shallow water. Attention was called to the small number of attacks compared with the vast army of bathers, with people at seaside resorts.

French Prepare to Advance. . There was no news this morning of important developments on the re- mainder of the western front, but at last accounts the French were pre- paring to resume their offensive south of the Somme, while the Germans were still hammering at the defenses of Verdun, The opinion is held in France, however, that continuation of the Somme battle will compel the Germans to slacken their efforts at Verdun, which now have been in pro- gress nearly five months, especially as the French estimate the Germans lost 12,000 men in counter attacks on Contalmaison. Struggle Along Stokhod. The Russians have made no notice- able advance on any part of their front since they gained the Stokhod river, where the struggle continues desperately. The right bank appar- ently now has been cleared of Ger- mans, but it is not known here wheth- er the' crossings made by the Rus- sians have given them a firm footing on the left bank. General von Both- mer, having received reinforcements, ceeded in holding the Russians in Galicia, but with Delatyn in the hands of the Russians, they possess an advantage from which further suc- cess is expected. The operations in the Caucasus are becoming more and more important. After suffering heavy losses in their counter offensive, thc Turks are now being_pressed back towards Baiburt and Erzignan, while in Persia the Russians have brought up reinforce- ments to meet the Turks who drove them from Kermanshah GREAT ATTACK BEGINS AT SUNRISE Reuter Dispatoh Reportsa the Capture of Three Towns, London, July 14—The British troops at dawn today broke into Ger- man positions on a four-mile front in the region north of the Somme and captured several ltrun*lr defended localities, says the official announce- ment of the war office. The British attack was delivered on the second system of the German defenses, says th tement, which adds that heavy fighting continues. The British troops in their attack on the second system of German de- fenses captured Longueval, Bazenti Le-Grand and the Trones Wood, says a Reuter dispatch from the British ont. The official statement reads: ““This morning at dawn we attacked the enemy's second system of de- fenses. Our troops have broken into hostile positions on a front of four miles and have cuptt_-rgd several strongly defended localities.

The dispatch adds: “Latest reports state that we cap- tured the villages of Longueval, Ba- zentin-Le-Grand and cleared the en- emy out of Trone’s wood. The weather is cloudy and cool and favor- able to our operations.” e The British advance reported in to- day’s official dispatch apparently con- stitutes the second phase of the great Anglo-French offensive in the neigh- borhood of the Somme river, which began July 1 over a front of some- thing more than twenty miles. The first phase of this offensive carried the British forward to and gave them possession of Contalmaison and Montauban, but the French on their right moved their lines further for- ward. The reported capture of Longueval and Bezantin-Le-Grand indicates that the British in today's assault ad- vanced east or northward from Com- talmaison or Montauban and that they apparently have brought their right wing on a par with the French | left and are thrusting a salient be- tween Peronne, the immediate French objective, and Bapaume, the point at which the British movegent 1s _reported to be directed. Longueval is about three.and one- half miles east of Contalmaison and Bezantin-Le-Grand is midway be- tween these towns. Lay Auditorium Cornerstone.
