the region of Bucsacs In Oalicla

Chapitre Chenois line took .some
French first line trenches but later
were driven out
The situation in the Somme region
has undergone virtually no change
since the concerted advance by the
British and French last Sunday and
the recapture from the British Monday
of a narrow front they bad taken from
the Germans west of Foureaux wood.
GERMANS GAVE
HEAVY COUNTER.
The Russians who have 'reached the
western bank of the Stokhod river near
Stolyara and Smolary have been forced
to sustain a heavy counter attack by
German infantry which Petrograd sags
waa repulsed with heavy casualties. Ber-
lin asserts that in this fighting the Rus-
sians are exhausting themselves in futile
j attacks and that they have been thrown
back three times near Smolary. North-
east of the Kovel-Rovno railway Berlin
claims another defeat for the Russians
near Porsk while Vienna ears that west
and northwest of Lutsk the .tussiaa at-
tacks have ceased . "obvioaly owing to i

than 1000 Austro-Oerman prisoners during
the operations. Southwest of BurkanoT
and west of Bucsacs there has been live-
ly fighting but with no changes In posi-

In the Caucasus region the 'Russians
have advanced farther from Ersingan to-

THREE BIG JOBS
' FORTHEY.H.B.L.
Mayor Campbell (Ure Leagne Long
Promised Work to Do.
Permanent Exposition Boulevard
Encircling tbe City And Clean-
ins; Tp the' Snip Channel
Are the Tasks.
Building a permanent exposition fox
Houston; building a beautiful boulevard
encircling the city of Houston and clean-
ing up the ahlp channel were the three
tremendous jobs outlined by Mayor Ben
Campbell to the Toung Men's Business
League Tuesday night at Its regular
monthly membership meeting.
"We have been talking and thinking a
permanent ezpoaitlon In Houston until I
am tired of It" . said Mayor Campbell
"so I am bringing the matter to you young
men for notion. I want to aee some sub-
stantial wbrk.
"The Red Roosters and the Rotary club
have both pledged theft aid and co-operation.
I want you also to take a substan-
tial part. It's a man's Job and there ia
room for all In the undertaking.
"The establishment of the permanent
exposition does not mean that we are
going Into competition with Dallas and
other cities on the State fair proposition.
It means that we are going to originate
something we are roing to start a thing
peculiar to Houaton and a thing that
whenever mentioned will bring Houaton
to the mind of every one. The oppor-
tunity ia here and now and It la up to
us to grasp it.
TRYING TWO YEARS
TO LOCATE SITE.
"We have been trying for two years to
locate a au! table place for thla expos
tlon and I think we have found IL I
knew it was useless to place the project
on the outskirts of the city and I knew It
was equally aa useless to place it In noma
other lnacoeaalble position. We wanted
to put It where you eat get to It without
spending all you bad to get there and
with ground enough for It to expand aa
the years come.
"I have found such a place. It contains
about 130 acrea and la within a stone's
throw almost of. this building (the city
auditorium). 1 When we undertook te put
thla ground tn shape we undertook a big
Job but I am the kind that because V
Job la a big one I do not hesitate.
"This permanent exposition la ao big
that I can't go Into details here. It has
many angles that 1 won't undertake to
fell you all about it. Tarn tired ef thla
'no-show' proposition. Wo must have
something that will bring all the people
from the a unrounding country Into Hous-
ton at least onoe a year. . We have' tot
to exercise a lot of common sense In this
proposition though. Instead of spending ao
many skyrockets and se much moonshine.
"I want to furnish a place to exhibit
products from every county la this sec-
tion of the State; for aa exhibit of all
the manufacturers of Houston and for all
the principal products of Texaa.
TWENTY ACREsTIowr -READY
FOR 0fc-- -jf :. .'V
"We will have acres ready put

grounds In usable .shape' for Improve-
ments as fast aa you can use them.

ahead with It. Thla is the very bees' way

LONDON. August 1 10:10 p. m. The

Why the train left the track probably
never will be known. Many passengers
expressed the belief that the engineer
tried to take the curve at a too high rate
of speed. The auditor on the train said
that they were running about miles an
hour when the train left the track. The
theory that the heat of the excessively

BALTIMORE August 1. The Ger
man submarine merchantman1 Deutsch-
land set out from Baltimore on a re
turn voyage to Germany at 5:40 p. m.
Tuesday after a declaration of confi-
dence from her commander Captain
Paul Kosjpig that he would take her
home in spite ot the heavy -odds that
she would face when the three mile
limit in the Atlantic ocean is reached.
The submersible is enected to nut
Into Newport News Vs. between 8 and
9 o'clock Wednesday morning .
After getting into midstream the
tow line of the tug Thomas F. Timmins
was cast off and the Detttschland pro-
ceeded down the Patapsco river under
her own power. The Timmins went to
one side- the coast guard cutter wis-
sahlckon to the other and the harbor
police boat Lannan brought up the
rear to prevent undue crowding by the
small fleet 06 launches that followed.
SUB PASSED '
ANNAPOLIS 8AFELY.
Annapolis.. 30 miles south of here re-
ported that the Deutschland passed
there at 8:45 o'clock steaming about IS
miles an hour. The tug Timmins alone
was ebnvoying and but one veeael was
following a newspaper dispatch boat.
Weather conditions at that time were fa-
vorable. Captain Koenig and his crew of 2T men
put to sea with the knowledge that a
man hurried to a telephone with a mes-
sage to agents of the entente allies
that tbe Deutschland had started.
Tbey knew how long he had watched
at the end of a nearby pier day and
night but the little captain went out
of Baltimore harbor smiling and waving
his cap. His last words in the harbor
were .of praise for America and for hi
treatment here by Baltimore customs au
thorities. . To ' Guy Steele surveyor of
customs he. said: .
"We came here dubious about our re
ception. We go back certain that the
friendliest of feeling exists In America
for Germany. You have been more than
courteous and the fatherland will not
forget it."
KNOWS WARSHIPS
GUARD EGRESS
Captain Koenig knows that eight war'
ships of the entente allies are waiting
for him at the edge ot the three mile
line spread out In a radlua of five miles
"We shall have to paaa unseen within
that radius In order to escape" he aaid.
"We shall have to make that passage
under conditions not entirety advan
tageous to ua. Were the water at that
point 150 feet deep it would be easier. We
could submerge deeply enough to ps
underneath the warships. But the water
there la not 160 feet deep. We shall
therefore have to paaa between the war-
ships" f
But there was a determined look on the
captain's face as he expressed confidence
that he would get through. Spectators
cheered and waved handkerchiefs in
unison with the cheering and Waving
from the sailors on board the Interned
North German Lloyd steamer Neckar as
the little craft started on Its way. On
the conning tower of the submarine at
the feet of her little commander there
was a huge baaket of rosea and white
flowers the last gift of a Baltimore ad-
mirer. DRAGGED' RIVER
FOUND NOTHING.
Tuesday morning the river leading out
into the channel for a mile from the
Deutschland'a pier was dragged. The
search for something which might have
Injured the Deutschland was without re-
