THE BUFFALO ENQUIRER, MONDAY, JULY 3, 1916. nininnnirm i mm! NEW CITIZENS GET DIPLOMAS AT CELEBRATION KAISER'S ARMY FACING CRISIS French and British in Sensational Offensive Sweep Through Defenses on the River Somme Capture of Frise Wipes Out Important Teuton Salient Eleven Villages Fall Before Advancing Host. (By the International News Service.) PARIS, July Having smashed the first line positions of the Germans in the sector of the Somme, the French are now pounding away at the second line. The French war office in a communique issued today announced that three miles of the German second line between Mereaucourt wood and Assevillers, south of the Somme, have been captured. The village of Herbecourt has been captured by storm, despite the furious resistance of the Germans.

Between Estrees and Assevillers, the German line, which was defended by thirty-one battalions of troops, has crumpled beneath the blows of the allies. TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT In Tomorrow Morning's Papers the Men of Buffalo Will Get SENSATIONAL NEWS TTT'S been one whole year since any such remarkable announcement has been made. And the whole program has arranged itself automatically by conditions that were absolutely beyond our control. We must meet these conditions and will make the full anouncement in the morning papers of July Fourth. THERE ISN'T A MAN IN ANY WALK OF LIFE WHO WILL NOT BE INTERESTED IN THIS! See Morning's Papers German Line Tremble.

In the lulls of the Infantry fighting the big guns of the French and British are continuously bombarding- the German positions. For a week or more the shelling- baa continued day and night. Late dispatches from th front show that the German line has been bent back from five to seven mile by the offensive of the British and French troop. Military critics hall this achievement as one of remarkable importance In view of the strength of the German positions and the grea-t amount of artillery and ammunition ma-seed behind the German' front. Th Germans have the advantage -f etrateg-lc highways and railways for the quick shifting of troops, but this advantage hasroved futile in the efforts to halt the advance of the allied troop.

The capture of Frise. south of the Somme, has wiped out the German salient which extended In to the French line at that point and has also placed the allies in a position to menace Important military roads. The chief objective of the French forces taking part in the offensive is Peronne. If Peronne is taken the allies will then continue their drive toward Cambral, it is believed. Gen.

Berthaut, the famous French military expert, believes that Peonne can be taken. It is about six miles from the scene of the present fighting. In the meantime the British force are hammering away at the German positions defending Bapaume.

(B; the International News Service.) Wildwood, N. July 8. The reading of the Bible in any American public school was condemned aa "un-American and an unwise alliance of church and state," at the jmeeting- of the Central conference of American rabbis here yesterday. Tho sessions were devoted to a discussion of the report of Rabbi Louis Woolsey of Cleveland. The report considered religious and ethical instruction in secular schools.

"The problem is one of concern to people of all denominations," Rabbi Woolsey declared. He recounted efforts made by Christian clergymen to have religious exercises conducted in the public schools and said. "The Jew has looked upon this with a complacency that bodes no good for the Jew or for America's vast school population. "We simply have registered sectarian efforts and with a word about function of home and characterize a moral and religious educators, we have satisfied our consciences." "In the meantime the very thing we have resisted has become a realty, and perhaps eventually will be a menace to our welfare and our religious liberty."

The first known about the robbery was about 8 o'clock, when Joseph Baldwin, who is in charge during the absence of Mr. Gardner, who left only a few days ago on a vacation, opened the store. The police have very little to work on, the yeggs being too clever to leave behind any evidence that would aid the sleuths. GEN.

SAYS TEST WOULD NOT BENEFIT CITY Commissioner Kreinheder of the department of public works does not favor a duty test of the Porter avenue pumping station pumps and so will advise the council Wednesday.

The pumps have been In operation since last fall. It would cost the city $16,000 to $20,000 to make the test, but would not benefit the city since there is no penalty attached thou Id the pumps fall to meet the specification requirements.

If successful, might put a feather in the cap of the manufacturers but he fails to see wherein the city would be justified in the expenditure it would entail. Some improvements at the pumping Eleven Villages Taken.
