Gorham, Aged 9, Struck by Machine Driven by C. L. Lambert. SKULL BADLY FRACTURED Four men walked into the police station soon after 9 o'clock last eve- ning, two of them were dazed and half crying and the others had bloody shirt fronts. One of the men was 1..0. Gorham, whose 9-year-old son. William, had been killed by an automobile at Twenty-fifth avenue and Farnam street {ess than an hour before. Another member of this strange group was C. T. Lambert, 1813 Capi tol avenue, who drove the car that killed the boy. The third was H. M. Binder, 2501 Farnam street, who saw the boy crushed, picked him up and, in Lam- bert's car, rushed him to the Wise Memorial hospital. The fourth was a brother of Binder. Stunned by Grief. The four men stood in the station until someone asked them what they wanted, and then told their story. The boy had been struck, taken to the hospital, had died, .nd the coroner had been notified. Yet the first news the police had was when the prin- cipals in the tragedy told their story to Captain Heitfeld.. The Gorham boy was going on an errand with 14-year-old Lenora Bur- ton, who lives with the Gorhams at their home, 2901'4 Farnam street. At Twenty-fifth avenue and Farnam street an automobile was standing. The two children started to cross the street-in front of this standing car. Wheel Goes Over, Shoulder.

THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, When the Coats Come Off Now gfripu‘ WNISTLE will probably be popular AUGUST hE BRITISH GAINS OF GROUND ARE SLIGHT Correspondent in the German Trenches Near Somme De- scribes Artillery Duels. TRENCHES EDE USELESS (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) German Trenches, Opposite the British ~ Position at Gommecourt, Monday, Aug. 14—(Via Berlin and Sayville Wireless, Aug. 17.)—Half a million British have been engaged in the effort to break the German lines on the Somme front. Often, as in the fighting between Gommecourt and Hebutorne, the British outnumbered the Germans six to one. They have gained ground to a depth of from three to five miles over a front of about eighteen miles, but nowhere have been able to break through. Shells Widen Trenches. More than ever, death has become commonplace in this most murderous battle of all times. The Germans in the first line know that they probably will be killed if their positions are attacked. Trenches are Wrtually use- less, for the heavy British shells widen them into broad channels, afe fording no cover of any sort. The first line usually perishes. The advancing British foot troops are no better off, because the Ger- mans reverse the process when part of their positions have been captured. After the British artillery has leveled the trenches, the infantry rushes in, often to be thrown out again as soon as the British artillery ceases fire, which it has to do owing to the proximity of the opposing lines. Thus the battle has been going on for weeks, the opposing forces now gain- ing, at terrific cost, and then losing at even greater cost, a few yards of trenches. At present all the fighting by the British is carried on from their Pozieres salient, where their drum-| fire is unceasing day or night. Ger-| man officers, who were in the Cham- pagne offensive, said no such artillery fire ever had been developed pre-| viously. German Fire Terrific. The German fire, too, is terrific. An idea of its intensity may be gained from the fact that on certain British troops, German guns threw 1,600 shells in one minute and forty-five seconds, resulting in great slaughter. Ofter the British assault dies away before the German second line, frem which machine guns pour out streams of bullets which literally cut the men into fragments. At one point the As- sociated Press correspondent stood within 800 yards of the British trenches near Delville wood. Nearb: the Germans had buried 1,600 Britisf‘; as lulls in the firing permitted. Some 500 British prisoners, whom the correspondent saw behind the fir- ing line, were still dazed from the shock. They were a sorry spectacle, glad they had escaped from “hell,” as they termed it. Each Man His Own Leader. The correspondent visited the en- tire front of the present offensive and everywhere found from talks with Germans, that they were more de- termined than ever to stand their ground. The men are in capital shape physically and of easy minrr, although they are looking upon death each time. An officer said each man is his own leader, as it is often impossible under the present battle conditions to transmit commands. While the gen- erals might still plan the actions, the officer said, it was plain that the in- University fund.. f_antryman, acting on his own initia- tive in the presence of death, must save the day. Back of the German lines, within artillery range, hardly a single house was standing. Embers were still burn- ing in the ruins of two villages as the correspondent passed through, Of- ficers said there were no German troops in such places and that the victims were mostly French civilians. Of these the correspondent saw scores of wounded. Whenever possible, the Germans removed the civilians, as at Buoquoy. The population of this town was sent out at 2 o'clock in the morning and the hombardment began at 1 o'clock. By noon the entire vil- lage was razed. The village of Ran- court met with a similar fate. The correspondent saw part of the popu- lation rushing for safety, and a few hours later looked on thg burning de- bris of the town. Girls Killed by Bombs. British aviators have made attempts to burn the grain crop, apparently un- mindful of the fact lgat it belongs to French peasants. One aviator, de- scending to 800 yards from the ground, threw bombs among a har- vesting party, killing two French girls and wounding others. There is no safety anywhere in the zone behind the front. What the ar- tillery does not reach is exposed con- stantly to the bombs of aviators. While the correspondent was at Bug- ny, eight civilians were killed. Eigh- teen others were wounded, of whom four died in the German hospital the same day. At Cambrai four persons were killed and two wounded on the same night. A French civilian pointed out that, while the German soldiers have built bomb-proofs in which to seek refuge, the civilians have only cellars, He begged that this be brought to the attention of the British military authorities. County Fathers Will Fix Tax Levy Friday Douglas county commissioners will fix the county tax levy at a special meeting Friday morning, at which time figures supplied by the state and announced at Lincoln, Wednesday, will be checked with records of the assessor. The state levy has been fixed at 6.1 mills, divided as follows: State general fund (mills) ; Special university Normal school fund. State ald bridge fund. The 1916 levy has been reduced .7 mill from the levy of 1915, the only change being the the amount assessed for the state general fund.

NATION BOUND T0 DISCHARGE DUTY Hughes in His Portland Speech Attacks the Policies That Democrats Adopted. REFERS TO PHILIPPINES Portland, Ore., Aug. 17.—Charles E. Hughes, before a large audience mn the ice rink here tonight, assailes the democratic party for its policy toward the Philippines. “We cannot atford in this country to lose sight of nativuai obiigations,” Mr. Hughes saxd. “Our friends on the other side were almost ready to say that we should abandon the Philp pines. That was a matter of national honor. We assumed obligations there o discharge “It 1s not so much a matter ot sclf irterest. 1 do not care so much with respect to the argument of seli-inter- est. but when this nation undertakes betore the whole world a responsibil- ity, it must discharge it, “Aund we ought not consider the sub- ject of scuttling out of the Philippines, to leave them in the predicament which you know perfectly well with- out my describing it. Need High Standards. “We need more of a sense ot ob- ligation, as individuals. [f we have the sense of national honor, a domi- nant consciousness of national unity, a proper upbuilding policy of con- serving the opportunities of Ameri- can enterprise, we shall do well, lut we need still more. We need, through- out our administrative departments, high standards of public work. We need efficiency in every department of American governmen*." Mr. Hughes, speaking of the tariff, referred to a letter written, he said? by “an eminent democrat,” July 28, to the president of the Illinois Manu- facturers’ association, in which it was said that it “Ought to be possible to make the question of duties merely a question of progress and develop- ment.” For Protective Tariff. “I do not care whether this letter is authentic or not,” said Mr. Hughes. “If it is not authentic, then the pro- vision of law is little more than a sham. If it is authentic, it does not represent the sentiment of the demo- cratic pary.” The nominee reiterated his argu- ments for a protectice tariff, for com- mercial preparation, for co-operation with Europe, for reasonable, adequate reparedness, and repeated his dec- aration that the democratic party was opposed to national progress. “Why, if [ were a member of that party—and I speak with all good na- ture, because we are threshing things out here now—and looked through the platforms of the past, 1 should feel that 1 was going through a cemetery richly embellished with monuments.” Mr., Hughes referred to the number of unemployed in 1914, due largely, he said, to the Underwood tariff. All Tariff Experts. “They knew why they were unem- ployed,” he said. Every one of them was a taritf expert. There were 300, 000 unemployed tariff experts in the city of New York alone. “You can’t pat American working- men along side of workingmen of other countries who work at less wages and expect the American work- ingmen to survive. You have got to get down to the common basis of co- operation. It is perfectly 1dle to sup- pose you can have the American wage scale and the American standard of goods and let in goods made under a lower standard of living without hurt- ing American enterprises and Ameri- can working men.” In reference.to Alaska Mr. Hughes said: “I would not have much confidence in speaking of a new spirit in Ameri- can life if T did not believe in the integrity of the business men of America. I believe that we can do things right in this <,‘olxntry and de- velop our resources.” You have got an empire in Alaska; I want to see it developed; I want to see it developed right. Time Has Now Come. “I think the time has come when we have got to be sure of ourselves, sure of our integrity, confident and equal to our emergencies. “I have had something to do in my life with correcting and preventing abuses in connection with public mat- ters, and I tell you now my friends, | that whether I speak of Alaska, or whether I speak of the tariff, no one is going to pull any thing out at the public expenses if T can prevent it. | “If I am charged with the high of- fice for which I am candidate,” Mr. Hughes said in closing, “to put my principles to the test I am not afraid of the test. [ know what it means, | but my friends of Oregon, you who mandamused me and made me become | a candidate at the primary against my | will, I have left the bench to under- | | take the active work of this campaign with but one ambition. ! “It is not an ambition to hold high office. That he: no illusicns for me But 1 have the ambition to try, so far | as within me lics, to have efficient | ‘.‘\meru':m government worthy of | America's best capacity, and Ameri- | | ca's nume honored throughout the | | world.” ‘Would Take Nine ' Days to Sign Up | The_Qoqlmissions : Washington, Aug. 17—Completion |of the reorganization measures au- | thorized for the regular under | | the bill which became ctive July Shot and Killed by Corporal Dunches Brownsville, Tex., Aug. 17.—Cor- zoral James Clement, “Company C, Second Virginia regiment, was shot and instantly killed tonight, and Sofia Valdez, a Mexican girl, was probably fatally wounded by Corporal Dunches, assigned to the quartermaster’s corps of (ic regular army.
