The second phase of the British offensive on the Somme front was opened at dawn today and in the course of an intense etroggle through- out the day the British forces gained im portant successes. They' penetrated the German second line of defenses over a front of about four miles, the towns offBat-entin-le-Grand, Bazentin-le-Petit, and Longueval, all strongly defended positions, and made substantial gains in Trones wood and at a number of other points. A dispatch from Reuter's correspondent on the British front says that the German second line was carried with, small loss, and the Germans surrendered freely. He reports that one regimental commander and his staff, three artillery officers and about 150 infantry officers and men had been brought in to one camp by 9 o'clock this morning. The prisoners taken include two colonels.

Hemmed-in British Rescued One hundred English soldiers who been surrounded in Trones wood by Germans and had held out were rescued in the morning rush. Bazentin-le-Petit was taken by storm. Fighting also is proceeding around Ovil-iers and virtually the entire village is in the hands of the British. The struggle is continuing in the wood beyond Longueval and on the high points of the ridge. The positions gained today leave the Germans seriously threatened at Poz-ieres.

Fierce, counter-attacks made by. the Germans, in an effort to reconquer tome of the ground captured by the British, were completely crushed by the British fire, according to the official statement issued by the War Office tonight. Official Statement The text of the statement follows: "It is now possible to give further details of the action begun at daybreak this morning.

Having driven the enemy back step by step to his second system of defense, the period from July 11 to July 12 was mainly spent by our troops in bombarding formidable enemy positions and in making other necessary preparations for a further advance. "This morning, after an intense bombardment, tne assault was launched at 3.25 A. M. The enemy was driven from his trenches on the hole front of attack and many prisoners fell into our hands. "Fierce righting continued all day, as a.

result of which we have steadily increased our gains and now are in possession of the enemy's second position from Bazentin-Le-Petit to Longueval, both villages inclusive, and the whole of the Trones wood. "In the Trones wood we released a party of the Koyal West Kent Regiment, who, separated from our own troops in the recent righting and sud-rounded by Germans, had held out in the northern end of the wood for forty--eight hours. "Two determined counter-attacks on our new positions were completely crushed by our fire. Later in the day, after a fierce counter-attack, the Germans succeeded in recapturing the village of Bazentin-Le-Petit, but Mere at once driven out again by our infantry. The whole village is once more in our hands." hile it was expected the British would not allow any gTeat length of time to elapse before continuing their operations, it was hardly believed the second German line would be attacked after only one day of artillery preparation; for it was only the day before yesterday that they completed capture of the first line in the region between Hardecourt and Ovillers.

M. Cabinet Meeting Pre- cedes Federal Ac-) tivtiy to End Loss of1 After the briefest preliminary bombardment which has preceded any important action on the western front, the British armies on the Somme have again swept forward and have captured-several important German second On a front of four miles the British have advanced to a depth of a mile and have held all positions gained in spite of violent counter attacks. The strategic importance of the British successes is marked by the straightening of their line in conformity with that of the French, who had hitherto advanced at a much greater speed than their allies. ALLIES Will THE BREAK MADE II Teutons Be Forced to Abandon Arras-Es-trees Salient Such-Retirement ould Open Twenty-mile Breach to Entente Armies BY FRANK H. SIMONDS When the Anglo-French attack began the German line in Picardy was a great half circle or salient bulging out between Arras and Estrees and reaching its extreme western point a little north of the city of Albert.

Both Albert and Arras iere in British hands. In the first day's of the allied attack the French and British struck directly east from Albert and the Somme towns to the south. They advanced some three or four miles until the French, who were south of the British, almost reached Pe- renne and both the French and British troops have occupied all the firstt line trenches of the Germans and the French some of 'the second. This advance cut off nearly half of the German salient and carried the new al lied line a little east of the latitude of Bapaume. Instead of holding a wide saiient, Germans now occupied a narrow salient with the French and British well in their rear.

In effect, the Anglo-French operation had driven a deep wedge into the German lines on a front of perhaps fifteen miles and to a depth of about four. This was the first phase of the much advertised offensive. After this was accomplished there were several days of quiet, while the French and British considered their new positions and brought up their heavy artillery. New British Attack The new British attack, as indicated in the latest communiques, is taking a widely different direction. Originally the French and British advanced from west to east.

Now the British attack is from south to north. The effect of this British attack is plain. As they advance from south to north they steadily narrow the salient. As they narrow the salient the position of the Germans outside of it becomes more and more perilous, they are increasingly exposed to the danger of being isolated, their line of retreat cut off and their capture made inevitable. A relatively slight further advance of the British will then compel the Germans to abandon all the Arras-Estrees salient and retire to a line marked by Arras, Bapaume and Peronne.

But such retirement would mean the surrender of the first and second, even conceivably the third and fourth lines all the way from Estrees to Arras. Such a retirement would in effect open a breach in the whole German line in Prance of not less than twenty, and perhaps as much thirty miles. Through this the Allifls would then endeavor to send a huge mas3 of They would be successful or unsuccessful as German preparation had been made. If the Germans, foreseeing this break, have con structed a new line running straight south from Arras through Bapaume and Peronne and east of Estrees, then the Allies would encounter this and Continued on 2d Page, 6th Col. SHERIFF ARRESTS" oW WIFE ON JAIL DELIVERY CHARGE Woman Blames Politics, Denies Ac cusation, Says She "Forgot" Special to The Inquirer' JACKSON, July 14.

Sheriff Fred J. Collins, of Musketon, arrived here today with a warrant for and took charge of his wife, Sarah, whom he will return to Musketon to fac a charge of aiding two prisoners, Joe Bednar and John Brown, to escape from the county jail. Mrs. Collins was held in custody at the county jail, not being compelled to occupy a cell. blames politics for her arres and denies 6he wilfully permitted the prisoners to escape.

"I just forgot, that is all," she said. That she left with the purpose of tracing and causing the capture of the fleeting prisoners is an explanation of Mrs. Collins for leaving home. When arrested she had $200. in cash and hex husband's bank book in her possession.

Sheriff Collins has arranged to have his wife arraigned before a justice of the peace in Musketon in an endeavor to prevent her being actually placed in jail. IN LIS CHARLESTON, S. July naval collier Hector, carrying sixty marines in addition to her crew of seventy men and twelve officers, sank off Charleston late today, according to a report tonight from Captain Hunt, of the tug Vigilant, which tried to go to the Hector's assistance. He was unable to say whether those aboard escaped. The steamer Alamo had been standing by the collier today, having responded to her calls when she was disabled some sixty miles off here in last night's hurricane.

Static conditions were such that no wireless report could be obtained tonight from the Alamo. The sea still was running high. The Hector left Port Royal for Santo Domingo yesterday. She attempted to put into port here when the storm disabled her, but, according to Captain Hunt, went down about nine and one-half miles I fromthe Charleston Lightship. Captain Hunt said part of the collier's superstructure remained above the water.

ireless advices received this morning the Hector was reported sinking about sixty miles off Charleston. Aid Turned Back The lighthouse tender Cypress went out at ten o'clock this morning to the assistance of the Hector, but was unable to breast the heavy seas, and returned. At 1.30 o'clock this afternoon wireless advices were that the Hector was fourteen miles off Charleston and wa3 coming in at the rate of four miles an hour. The steamer Alamo was in touch with her, ready to lend assistance. Then later came the report from the Vigilant that the Hector had gone down.

Captain Hunt did not report as to whether the crew and marines had been transferred. 'Hie Hector displaced about 11,200 tons, was feet long and was built at Sparrow's Point, Maryland. Charleston Storm Swept The hurricane which struck Charleston last night-abtd today. One life was lost heie. Damage to shipping and the water lront was not great, and the balance of the city did not suffer severely, fctieet car travel was impeded.

Many came to this city late last nieht. Hundreds of trees were blown down and crippled trole.v and wire service resulted. Kerry service also was affected by the heavy sea and high tides. The one death was that of a negro killed by a live wire.

It is reported that the tug Eastern, which arrived here late last night, had lost two barges which she had in tow. U. S. Wireless Unavailing Aid WASHINGTON, 1). July 14.

IXQVIRER BT REAr, POST BZILDIXG. WASHINGTON, D. C. July Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, today secured the reinsertion in the Navy Appropriation bill of the provision requiring the equipment of the Philadelphia Navy Yarl for the construction of dreadnouzhts.

Senator Penrose, seizins? a favorable opportunity durintr the debate on the bill today, explained to the Senate that through a typographical error Philadelphia had been omitted from the list of yards for which the sum of $,000,000 had been proi-led for necessary equipment for battleship construction. Senator Swanson, ho has taken charge of the bill for the administration dining the illness of Senator Tillman, agreed with Senator Penrose that there had been Sn oversight. He immediately placed the question before the Senate and Philadelphia was restored to the list without objection. The bill as amended today now reads: "The Secretary of the Navy is authorized to improve and equip the navy yards at Puget Sound, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Boston, Pc rtsmouth, Charleston and New Orleans for the construction of i lp ncrein or as may be hereafter au- thorized, as nnv be assigned to such yards for construction, and the sum of or so much thereof as may-be nccesrary is hereby appropriated for this purpose "Provided, That the navy yards at Puget Sound, Norfolk. Boston and Philadelphia shall b'? equipped for the construction of capital ships forthwith." Under the tei ms of the bill as amended, Philadelphia is assured permanent equipment for the construction of the heaviest types of battleships and bp.ttle le cruisers.

Senator Penrose, urged on I reports of general dissatisfaction th Philadelphia ha 1 been omitted from the provisions of the bill, was determined that he would miss no more opportunities to secure the construction of dreadnoughts at League Island. It is the concensus of opinion among Philadelphia numbers of Congress that, following the passage of the Naval bill, work immediately would be begun to enlarge the building ways and secure the necessary machinery for battleship construction at Loazue Island. PENROSE ATTACKED BY SENATOR VARE A sensational attack upon United States Senator Boies Penrose by State Senator Edwin II. Vare yesterday gave a jolt to the politicians who for the last few days have been tcllinjr their lieutenants that harmony has been restored in the Republican Party organization. Senator Vare accused Senator Penrose of nejrleet of hi.

official duties and blamed him for the dropping of Philadelphia from the list of navy yards at which Miperdreadno'ights are to be built and he also criticised Irm for absence from the Senate when President Wilson's war policy was under discussion. Senator Vare said: "I regret very much that Senator Penrose was alisent and not in Washington when the "League Island Navy Vara bill was before the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs. If he had looking after the interest of the Philadelphia N-'ivy Yard, as was done in the lower House, it seems to me that the question of the extension of the Present shipwavs and of the building of battleships there in the future would have been settled to the advantage of Philadelphia. Employes have demonstrated the efficiency of the League Is1-and Yard only recently by the building and launching of the transport Henderson at a half million dollars less than the bids of any private proposals and in several months' less time. "It is also unfortunate that Senator Penrose was absent at a critical time when the President's war policy was being voted uiion in the Senate; yet he found time to be in Philadelphia to butt in on the transit matter.

It seems to me there is still a-chance, however, for him to correct his rrvstake by getting on the job in Washington and seeing to it that the Navy Yard item is included in the bill as it passed the lower SI Mill MY yesterday of heart trouble caused by ex- ct Mexico ail the reforms which now find cessive heat.

Life Through Trag edies Along Coast Coast Guard Officers io Co-operate With Local Authorities in Hunting Ferocious Fish Preying on Bathers in Surf Special 1o the Inquirer.

WASHINGTON. D. C. July 14 President Wilson and the Cabinet today decided to give all possible Federal aid to the fight to drive away the ferocious man-eating sharks which have been making pre- of bathers along the New Jersey coast. As a result William G.

McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, directed the L'nited States Coast Guard to do whatever it can in assisting local authorities to remove the menace and prevent further lc.s of life, Captain Ellsworth P. Bertholf, commandant of the Coast Guard, communicated immediately with the officers of the Fifth Lifeavini District, comprising forty stations along the New Jersey coast. He learned that the situation is much improved and that steel nets are being constructed at at least three bathing beaches, Asbury Park, Spring like and Beach Haven. These nets, the officials ay, are adequate to keefi the sharks away. Captain Bertholf learned also that bathers along the New Jersey coast have been advised not to go into deep water until the danger of sharks has been removed.

Coast guard officials expressed the opinion that there is no general influx of sharks along the coast, as has been feared by those who are on the scene. They think that possibly only three cr four sharks have strayed into the locality from the warm waters of the Gulf stream. Willicm G. "Redfield.

July 14 At aimost low tide today the body of Lester Still-well was found in Matawan Creek, about 20f feet from the spot where he disappeared after being attacked by a shark. The body had been bitten nearly in two above the waist line. The body bore the marks of the fatal attack by the shark. The left side of the abdomen was torn open and a big piece of the flesh is gone.
