THE /BEE: SOCIAL DISCONTENT | French Charge With Great Spirit as They Pierce the German Line N MEXICAN CAPITAL k- liewnpsper From South Tells | of Oonstant Agitation and Some Disorder. | LACK OF WORK IS OAUSE El' Paso, Tex., Aug.'14—Reports of social discontent in Mexico are contained in a cogy of El Nacional, a Carranza organ of Mexico City, which reached here today. It stated that last week General Benjamin Hill, military commander of the federal district, had covered the city with patrols to disperse gatherings of striking employes of the electric light- ing and street railway company. It added that several shots had been fired and thlf small riots had re- sulted. According to the rnger Carranza met representatives of the Federation of Syndicates, the organization behind the strike, and informed them that in { his opinion_ their action in striking was unpatriotic. Social discontent in Mexico was attributed to “socialist labor agitators.” Arrivals in El Paso from the capital today, however, said that the foodscarcity and lack of op- romnity for work important actors. ' Private dispatches here from Chi- ' huahua City said that General Jose Inez Salazar, held in connection with alleged revoluntionary plots, had been executed by General Trevino. There was no official confirmation, however. Rumors current in E! Paso today that the Carranza garrison in Juarez contemplated an earl{ revolt were pronounced ridiculous by de facto au- thorities. - All Soldiers and Sailors Are Barred : From Drink at Work Christiana, Norway, July 25.—A bill prohibiting all workers on public con- ‘veyances as well as soldiers and sail- . ors of both the fighting and merchant fleets from consuming intoxicating liquors during their world% hours, . and also six hours before they take up their duties, has_been introduced { into the Norwegian Parliament. It is believed that as the majority of the legislators are in favor of prohibition the bill will be conte a law in a very short time and may possibly lead to profibition throughout the ‘country. ‘The measure provides for criminal prosecution of offenders against its articles, the first offense being pun- _ishable by fine, and a reptition by im- * prisonment for a three months and liability , to dis- _missal without possibility of ut’:m to public service. . 1 Employes on street cars; omnibuses, lroads and passenger boats are to be subject to the visions of the bill, as well ‘as soldiers and sailors, but the king, has the power to t dispensation to the g‘fid;n and crews ofhwmmu visit- foreign ports, where they may be m.e'i by the hosts or have to :'n ~ Nmt in ret;m. e Norwegian steamsh lines already make it & condition of atis with thelr iimicaing Thsors dwiag bl Utilize Space Ocoupied by the q:;/aat Paris Wall i mum term of | M icers and | Fed P Aug. 14—"The capture of the third line of German defense from Hardecourt to the Somme was pre- ceded by a bombardment so intense that for a radius of twenty kilometers the ground seemed to be shaken by |, an uninterrupted, carthquake,” says La Liberte correspondent in the north of France. { “In the trenches the infantry watched the formidable artillery preparations,” the cofrespondent adds, “waiting patiently for the mo- ment to rush to the assault.

Life Sentence for Two Bomb Throwing Leaders (Correspondence of The Associated ) Tokio, July 31.—A sentencé of penal servitude for life has beeh im- goud on the two tinilnderl of the omb attempt on the life of Premier Count Okuma on January 12. The aged prime minister was returning to his hor#min an automobile following a recep to the Grand Duke Mich- aclovitch of Russia, when men hid- den in a byway rushed out and hurled two explosive machines, - The car was damaged, but Count Okuma escaped unhurt. Those sentenced for life were Wa- boro Fukude, a former journalist, and mataro Shimomura, occupation un- known. Two accomplices, Jujiro Oni- kura and Masakichi Wada and Ta- kushi Hida, were acquitted.

The positions that the French captured, wgich were exceedingly strong and along the entire front of the defensive system of the Germans, comprised two or three lines of trenches, and even four lines at some points, Numerous works and ar- mored forts and fortified redoubts fell into the French hands in exactly one hour and twenty minutes. The French losses were much less than had been expected. At Maurepas they did not have 300 men disabled, and it was at this point of the sum- mit plateau, the southern part of which had been occupied the day be- fore the combat was hottest. The Germans defended the ground inch by inch, trying to cope . with the gench and hurriedly bringing up re- inforcements, “Their resistance was vain, how- ever. The French, aftexr furious hand- to-hand fizhtinfl, pushed forward and entered the village, which had been completely destroyed by shells.

Mr. Hughes reiterated his declara- tion for a national budget system. “I do not know anything in the line of conservative work in this country that is more needed than that,” he said. “It is fundamental. But 1 teil you you cannot do it if you are running the departments of our gov- ernment for mere partisan expedienc or to reward political workers wit fill. Mr. Hughes said that he considered the elimination of the “pork barrel” as a conservative golicy. “We have poured too much Ameri- can money into streams of a few inches deep and have nothing to show for it," he said. “How are you go- ing to correct it?

Mr. Burns said it was evident to all that the cost of flour was directly dependent upon the price of wheat, and the cost of bread equally depend- ent upon the price of flour., He said that the advocacy of the bakers of a 10-cent logf did not mean necessarily an increase in the price of bread, but instead would offéer the consumer cheaper bread through economy in roducing and distributing bread in arger units.

Terrific Shell Fire Maintained All Along the British Front With the British Army in France, Aug. 14—Anyone who might think from reading the British official re- ports of the British offensive was over, would soon conclude from the unceasing gun fire, if he went out on the field, that a terrific battle was still in progress. No one that The Associated Press correspondent meets at the front think that the offensive is over, or that anything but winter will stop it. Though no village or considerable frontage of trenches has been stormed in the last few ddys, every day has found some strong point taken and some new spur of trenches thrown out in the course of the same kind of op- eration which followed and preceded each big blow. 9 “The question this week,” “said a staff officer, “is whether our guns have killed more Germans than their guns have killed of us, and we know: that, the odds are in our favor, at least two, if not three to one.” For six weeks the Britigh have maintained a torrent of shell fire which German prisoners who have been at Veérdun say surpabses any- egcted Swains Wipe Up the Street_ With Chas, Turder It probably wouldn’t have gone so hard with Charles Turner, colored, of 121714 South Sixteenth street yester- day if he'd used good sense when he went girling Sunday afternoon, -all dreucf I]? in his go-to-meeting clothes. ¢ erred in greedily “cut- ting out” three other young fellows of as many sweethearts.

It has been a week all to the taste of the gunners. They have had such an ad- vantage of position over the Germans as they never had before, thanks to the possession of Pozieres ridge, which was crowned by a wind mill at the highest point, the wooden struc- ture of which long since has been blown to splinters by shell fire and its stone base cracked into bits. Incal- culable and inconceivable is" the amount of shell fire spent on this ridge, whose irregular sky line is ever changing as a result of the pummel- ing, but the British keep their domi- nation by tactics and methods of forti- fications hot permitted to be men- tioned here. ; “Put twenty rounds of eight inch into Courcellette,” or a couple of salvos of twelve-inch into Thiepval,” or “we might as well stop that work- ing party digging in Martinpuich for the evening,” and away go messengers roaring like railroad trains through the air with their tons of explosives.

EFFORTS TO HOLD HALIOZ Petrograd, Aug. 14—The Austrian lines along the Stripa, which they have held since early in September, have crumbled and General von Both- mer is in full retreat along the whole front, according to the latest informa- tion received by the Russian general staff. . General Letchitzky is /ldnnehg in the rear of General von Bothmer's right flank, while General Scherbatch- off is closing in on his left. The Aus- trian commander is apparently mak- ing an attempt to escage the Russian trap by taking up a position on the fine running through Zlochoff, Po- morzany, Brzezany to Halicz, roughly twenty miles to the west of his of lines before Tarnopol and Buczacz. 1t is stated semi-officially the Aus- trians evacuated the Stripa line with- out a battle. Their success in reach- ing and holdin| 1(hc:ir.newI p(;tslm:)_nst is sidered problematic. It is pointe g?:t‘ that the strength of LC(C‘EI’ZWI osition on both sides of the Dniester, gclow Halicz, makes it extremely un- likely that the Austrians will be able to hold that town. Their failure to hold Halicz would render their new fine little more advantageous than the osition on the Stripa, and General r.fietchitzky still would be hanging on their right flank.
