"London, July' 1. -After weeks .' of
intense bombardment with' gun of
every caliber, dring million shells
daily, the . British this- morning
launched a general offensive against
the German line along a front of 20
mile,! north of the. River ? Somme,
The Britislf succeeded in taking the
German front line of ' trenches, -and
captured many men.
' The French on the Briticah right
eo-operated in the attack. When last
dispatches were received at British
headquarters the fighting was ' still
. progressing, and further advances
were being reported.,
- .The artillery fire was particularly
intense on the atreteh.of front?'-of
Stromme and earlier dispatches told
of the destruction of the, towns Cbi
epval, of Thieve! and Jteueort, whore
the Germans had . ammunitions.
Early this morning all guns were
brought into action. in" the 20-mile
sector, and for aa hour and a half the
Germans were subjected to. a' boni
bardment which is described lis the
fiercest experienced in this .war of
. artillery. v. ' ';t'
Kews of the .British offensive cre
ated the greatest enthusiasm and de-
. tails of the battle were being anxious
ly awaited. Only this morning the
correspondent at the front for the
British newspapers, while writing of

British casualties were not heavy.
The portion of line selected by the
British for inauguration of the.r of
fensive runs irom btromme river,
northward past Albert to a point
about eight miles south of Arras. It
is on the section of the western front
which runs roughly north and south
-from the North Sea through Belgium
and northern France before it swings
sharnly to the south' and east, and to
the Swiss border. Albert is 70 miles
- northeast, of Par's.
The British offensive was preceded
by a bombardment of a week, as com
pared with a bombardment of 31 days
befrre the advance at Loos last Sep
tember. Shorter duration of artillery
preparations, however, was more than
made np for by its intensity.
The terrible ; -effect of the British
fire was described from day to day by
correspondents,, all vf-: whom agreed
that nothing to equal it ever had oc
curred in this war on' the British
front. The curtain of fire was so ef
fective that the Germans were unable
to send food to the first line. Men in
. these trenches ' were starving for
days.

away realizing that but for the Ohau-
auqua Concord would never have had
such an opportunity.
Yesterday afternoon the Junior
Chautauqua presented "Cncle Sam's
Experiment." This showed the work
done by this department durin? the
eek. There were numerous songs,
marches, drills, games and athletic
exhibitions hv the bovs, and all
showed how well the children had
been trained.
This was followed by Prof. Walter
Rauschenbusch, who lectured on
Christianity and the Social Crisis."
Those who failed to hear Dr. Rausch
enbusch missed one of the best tliincs
of the Chautauqua. He pleaded for
the community spirit and for co-operation
to make a better community.
The entire community must be up-
i ft ed. and a few men must not have
the advantage at the expense of the
mass of t lie people. He spoke of va
rious way in which a community may
be uplifted, one of which, especially,
was the establishment of a public li
bra rv.
The Chautauqua will come to Con-
ord next vear. Already 400 tickets
have been sold, and 65 guarantors se-
ured. Our people could not afford

She was married to Mr. Charley Mc
Annlty July 17, 1900. She leaves her
husband and four children. The
youngest, a little girl only 17 months
Id. She also leaves her lather, motn-
er, 6 brothers and two sisters. She
was all that a wife, a mother and a
neighbor could be. The duties of home
were supreme to her and she per
formed them with a cheerfulness and
courage and happiness that was not
iceable to all who knew her. She was
member of Chaneys Hill Baptist
Church, havinsr nved her member
ship from Howells Church some few-
years ago. She was true to ner
church. She has made many warm
friends, and there is general regret
at her death, and sincere sympathy
for those who are so sorely bereaved.
There is no hieher testimony to
character than that given by her
neighbors, who have passed jrears 0f
intimate contact with each other.
There is a vacancy in her home, in
the church and in the community
which she lived, that can never be
filled, but her influence still lives.
