IAXWELL REDUCES PRICE ON MODELS r or 1917 Season Detroit Com pany Brings Cost of Touring Car Down to $593 Undoubtedly the most interesting nnouncement for 1917, with regard D automobiles in the lower-priced romes from the Maxwell Motor ny, Inc., of Detroit. This an ment is that the price on their g car and Roadster is mate lowered. The touring car is i from 6J55 to $595; the road ter from $633 to SSBO. In this definite announcement of a übstantial reduction in price, the taxwell company also announces hat there will be no changes in the ar. This confirms all previous an ouncements that the Maxwell car is ow a standardized product. Walter Flanders, president and general lanager of the Maxwell company, nd the able corps of engineering and lanufacturing experts he has gath red around him are convinced that heir product has attained such a uni »rm degree of excellence that the ecesslty for radical changes in de ign and construction has been elimi ated. The change in Maxwell prices be ame effective July i. In explaining the reason for the big eduction in the price of Maxwell ears, he manufacturers declare that in reased production made it possible. "The manufacturing cost per car as been greatly reduced by our in reased production," said Mr. Flan ers. "Our plants at Detroit, Dayton nd Newcastle have been taxed to heir capacity to supply the orders of ur dealers. V.'e have made arrange ients for the manufacture-of 100,000 ars tor this year and we know from he enthusiasm with which our 1917 nnouncement was received that this umber will be disposed of easily. "Certainly no other car in this field an point to the consistent perform nce behind* the 191H Maxwell. This ar has given such excellent satisfac on under all conditions that we rould not feel justified to change it in ny particular." The same manufacturing policy will btain in the Maxwell plants, the tandard Maxwell chassis being used or five different body designs. These esigns include a streamline flve-pas enger touring car, a two passenger oadster, a two-passenger Cabriolet, a ix-passenger town car and a six assenger Sedan. The Sedan is the newest Maxwell nodel, having been added to the line arly in the year. It is primarily a amily car and there has been a very atisfylng demand for it. ' .

If all of us profited by the advice we invite and need most of our tragedies could be avoided. A year ago a girl wrote me a letter asking my advice in a love affair with a married man. I gave it heartily and sincerely—and conventionally, if you like. For all such girls there is just one answer, "DON'T." Recently I had a very pathetic letter from the girl, telling me how she grieved because she had not listened to me and adding a pathetic story of the tragedy she was facing because of her own weakness. The individual who is outside of your problem, looking at it and judg ing it sanely, rather than emotionally, as you must, is often qualified to ad vise you just because of her impersonal detachment from the question which troubles you. To all my girls I want to sound an urgent note: If you have faith enough to go to someone for advice it must be because you trust their judgment and feel the need of wisdom greater than your own. If you are not told to do the particular thing you want to be told to do, pay heed in spite of that. Sugar plums don't cure bron chitis—a doctor's prescription may! And now I am quoting another let ter—one which comes from a girl who asked advice in all sincerity, took it, found it practical and was gracious enough to acknowledge that she had learned something from someone else. The girl who is wise enough to profit by the viewpoint of someone more experienced than herself is likelv to manage her life very efflcientlv. I thank my "Three Sincere Friends" for the letter I am quoting and I commend their sane Intelligence to other girls. The letter follows: "Some time ago I wrote you a let ter and signed it "Doubtful Trio." You will probably remember having an swered it with an article on girls and the drink question. "Allow me to extend to you the most heartfelt thanks of A. B and myself for the kindly interest you have shown us in our quandary and we do assure you of our deep appreciation of your most welcome advice. We have all three benefited by it, and I am sure there are thousands of other girls whom that article has helped to overcome the problem that inevitably springs up in the life of every girl. "As for our subject for discussion, namely B, she has followed your di rections with colors flying. No one at the party mentioned seemed annoyed when she refused and said she did not like the taste of liquor and not a sin gle one followed her refusal with urg ings to drink. She has vowed never to touch another drop, and I am positive she is going to hold to that avowal, as are both A and myself. "Your Three Sincere Friends."

July I.—Gen : oral Funston reserved comment to-day ; on 'be charges of bad faith made | against him by Carranza's minister of | soreign affairs and then concentrated [ his attention on the silent marshaling I of his growing army along the border | line.

London Hears of Fight With Great Enthusiasm; Expect Heavy Losses By Associated Press London, July l.—After weeks of in tense bombardment with guns of every caliber, firing a million shells daily, the British early this morning launched a general offensive against the German line along a front of twentv miles north of the river Somme. lhey succeeds In taking the German front line trenches and capturing many men. The French on the British right co operated in the attack. When the last dispatches thus far received left Brit ish headquarters the fighting was still progressing and further successes, it was said, were being recorded. The front selected for the British offensive was decided upon many weeks ago and the bombardment of the rest of the line as well as the fre quent raids which procured for British headquarters important information as to the disposition of the Germans was designed to keep the German generals guessing as to the point at which they would be called upon to meet the brunt of the attack. This is the first time since the outbreak of the war that the intention of an army to un dertake an offensive has been so well advertised. A week ago, when the Ger man attacks against Verdun began to make further headway and it was feared the army of the crown prince was getting within a distance of Ver dun which was dangerous for the allies, the British guns began to speak. Since then, except for the hours when British infantrymen were raiding Ger man trenches, a continual bombard ment has been maintained. Batteries Take Turns Batteries which now are innumer able took turns at smashing the Ger man defenses, destroying communi cation trenches and blowing up am munition depots. New trench mortars, particularly destructive, tore away wire entanglements, broke down para pets i,nd generally opened the wav for men with rifles and bayonets. ' Big guns of 15 inches and other large calibers prevented the Germans from bringing up supports, wrecking every thing within range. The artilleiy lire was particularly intense on a at retch ot the front north of the Somme and earlier dispatches told of the destruction of the towns of Thiepval and Beaucourt, where the Germans had concentrated ammu nition. Early this morning more guns were brought into action on this twenty-mile sector and for an hour and a haff the Germans were subjected to a bombardment which is described as the fiercest experienced in this war of heavy artillery. London Enthusiastic I The news of the British offensive, which was quickly circulated in Lon don, created the greatest enthusiasm and details of the battles are being anxiously awaited. Only this morning (he correspondents at the front for British newspapers, while writing of the British artillery and raiding suc cesses, warned the public that an ad vance must be made by infantry and not by artillery, and that the British army could not expect to come out of the engagement scatheless. First ac counts of the battle state the British casualties were not heavy. Frantic Rush for Papers The news spread throughout Lon don like wildfire. There was a frantic rush to obtain special editions of the evening newspapers. Along the Strand and other thoroughfares there was <i turmoil of excitement. From the tops of buses passengers, especially sol diers, cheered the tidin«s which had been awaited so eagerly. Men and women in little groups scanned the special editions, then broke out in cheers of joy. The war ofAc? announced that the necessary passenger traffic between Great Britain and the continent would be regulated closely and reduced as ; far as possible. Only those having I serious reasons are permitted to travel, i To prevent transmission of naval or i military information, all passengers' ! ! aggage will bo searched. Sees Kaiser Beaten • by Food Shortage ! Stockholm. July I.—The Swedish trade journal, Affarswarlien, represent ing the best business Interests In Swe den, prints a remarkable editorial commenting on the war, in which it says it Is time for the Swedes to realize that the outcome eannut be favorable to the Central Powers. The food question, says the newspaper, will decide the war, and it declares that the bad situ ation in Germany is responsible for the "reckless offensive at Verdun and the recent attempt to win a naval battle." The article-says: "The food situation In Germany is had, and much worse than the Swedish people generally think. Swedish conceptions as to how peare will be concluded have not taken sufflcterftly into consideration the Im portance of the campaign of starvation against Germany." Swedish business Interests are gen erally supposed to be friendly to Ger many, as for many years trade with that country haR outweighed that with any other, and this article in the rep resentative trade journal warning busi , nCßsmen as to the outcome of the war [is regarded with much interest. JULY 1, 1916. ALLIES IN FURIOUS DRIVE BEAT BACK GERMANS miles east of the old British front and Curio wood is six miles east southeast of Albert. Ihe British are endeavoring to surround Thiepval, anil'at other points an intense struggle is under way for towns and villages. Reports from the front indicate that the important German position at Kricourt may be cut off. \ At this hour the British are making good progress behired the f ron t line in German-held territory. Serre and Montauban, which the British have captured are important tactical points. Serre is south east of Hebuterne, and Montauban is northeast of Bray. The British are fighting for the villages of Mametz and Contalmaison, portions of which they hold. \ The British are fighting gallantly, and have taken many prisoii-A ers in the front lines. The French, advancing on the British right, are moving witlfl great steadiness. After the assault they very quickly covered a di-.-fl tance of two kilometers beyond the German front line. Thus the day has gone well for France and England. Bombardment Terrific The terrific bombardment which preceded the attack lasted about an hour and a half. It is too early as yet to give any but the barest particulars of the fighting which is developing in intensity, rhe British casualties have so far been comparatively light accord ing to official report. The artillery bombardment of the last few days was concen trated this morning with a degree of fury and a number of guns which were unprecedented in the region of Albert and the Somme, with the French co-operating to the south. Great Mortars Play Havoc At 7.30 o'clock, through clouds of smoke and dust which hung over the whole field so far as the eye could see, the infantry sprang from the trenches for an assault over a front of twenty miles. Already it has gained possession of the first line trenches and the advance is continuing. The new British trench mortars which fire 35 shots a minute, played a great part, cutting wire entanglements and destroying trenches. Large numbers of prisoners have been taken. Some of the prisoners say the British curtains of fire prevented them from getting food for the last five days. Advance as Though on Parade A British staff officer who witnessed the advance at the junc tion of the French and British lines said the attack was launched as though the men were on parade. Simultaneously with the launching of the British offensive f' rench infantry advanced to the attack. This movement of French troops was inaugurated over a section of the French line adjoining the junction point with the British front. Take Second Line Trench The French, co-operating to the south, have captured Curlu and Faviere woods. All the main first line trenches are reported to have been taken. At some points the operations have now reached the main second line. At Beaumont-Hamel the British are just making a French attack. There is an intense struggle in progress for possession of Con talmaison, one end of which the British hold, with the Germans in order. The British have taken La Boiselie. The British have a strong position northwest of Thiepval and are attacking fiercely in an effort to surround it. The important German position at Fricourt may be cut off. Exceeds Anything: of War The tremendous offensive which has I been launched by the British army on ! the German front is the culmination i 01 a five-day bombardment which in the amount ot ammunition expended and in the territory involved, exceeds ; anything of the kind that has been , 1 previously known in the world war. ' For some weeks reports have been 1 1 current in England and France that the "Big Rush" of the British was about to commence. It was stated that Blngland had 2,000.000 fully equipped and trained, in preparation I for the supreme effort to break the German lines. More than 1,000,000 shells are declared to have been fired daily in the preliminary bombardment which extended over a front 90 miles I in length. j The menace of the British attack 1 was fully appreciated In Germany ac j cording to newspaper comments from Berlin and the utmost confidence was expressed in th e ability of tlie Ger mans to meet and crush it. The allies are now on the offensive in practically every field of the war. The British • assault comes on the heels of the great ' successes won by the Russians in Galicia and Bukowina which have re : suited in completely driving the Aus i trians from Bukowina and are still i continuing. On the Italian front the ! central powers have also met with 1 severe reverses and for several days the Italians have been steadily driving the Austrians from position after posi tion in the Trentino. The defense al so of Verdun by the French appears to have stiffened and the balance of battle in that bitterly contested sec tion appears recently to have swayed 1 in favor of the defenders. The great offensive undertaken by the British offers, according to reports from the front and the comments of j military critics is an absolutely new departure in tactlca hitherto pursued jby the belligerents. Contrary to the j favorite tactics of the Germans the I British did not attempt a partial ad l vance by massing their artillery at a ; given point on the line and following an intense bombardment by an infan ] try attack in serried columns. Employing an enormous number of guns the British maintained a contin uous and oven bombardment of the German lines along the entire 90 miles of attack. They sought to level the Gorman trenches and destroy the con crete fortification which sheltered the German machine gun squads. Hurri canes of shells were also directed against the German barbed wire en tanglements. 111 the evenings follow ing this daily artillery storm, raiding parties dashed out from the British lines to complete the destruction wrought by the big guns. In this way the British claim that many prisoners were taken, machine guns destroyed or captured and the entire defense of the Germans domoralized. A French officer who witnessed this plan of operations described it as "the last word in scientific warfare." The last considerable offensive un taken by the British was a drive in force at in September, 1915, in conjunction with a similar French effort in the Champagne district. The British captured I,oos and claimed to have taken 20,000 German prisoners ant' many guns. They were unable to press home their advantage, however, because according to the British War Office, the reserves failed to arrive on time. The British official losses in the bat tle of Eoos were 60,000 men. That the British public is prepared to face a roll of dead and wounded on an even vaster scale is Indicated by the com ments of the British newspapers in anticipating the present offensive. Political and military leaders have warned the nation that the smashing of the German lines could not possibly be accomplished except at an appal ling loss of life. The only front in the whole theater of the world war where camparatlve quiet reigns to-day is in the Balkans and the predictions of an allied ad vance in that region have been at least as numerous and circumstantial las those regarding the British army in France. t The portion of the line selected by j the British for the inauguration of <in\e runs from the Somme north -1 ward past Albert to a point about eight j miles south of Arras. It is on the see | tion of the western front which runs roughly north and south from the ] North sea through Belgium and North ern h ranee, before it swings to the south and east and on to th™ , bwiss border. Albert is 70 miles j northeast of Paria. There has been much heavy' fight ing over this ground but not to tho extent of that further north, where lie the battlefields of Arras, I„oos, | Neuve, Chapelle, Ypres and Dixmude. During the early stages of the but tle of Verdun when the French were compelled to bring up large reserves [to meet the German drive, the British [took over a long section of French trenches, and now hold about 90 miles of the western front. What remains lof the Belgian army under command [of King Albert is in the trenches from the .North sea to a point near Eizerne about six miles northeast of Ypres. | Tho British army under General Sir Douglas Haig holds the line from the junction with the Belgians as far us the Somme.
