"We will arrange to have the church bells runs on the stroke of 12. This will be-a signal to the chief marshal and the divi sion marshals and their aids to halt the marchers on the instant, to quiet the bands immediately and to set the example for their fellow paraders and for all spec tators by bowing their heads for two minutes in silent devotions. I think this the most appropriate and impressive feature of the whole celebration and trust that it will be observed to the full in tent of the recent proclamation I. , had the pleasure of Issuing with relation to the subject."

Enemy Probably Waiting on New Guns Before Moving ih Offensive By Associated Press liritkri Headquarters in France, July 2, Via Ottawa —The puzzling si lence of the enemy Is continuing along the entire front. The most general conjecture as to the reason for his prolonged pause is that he is awaiting the arrival of guns of a new type, intermediate between the extreme long-range guns with which he has been shelling Paris and his long range naval guns. With guns of this type, the as sumption is the Get mans would be capable of throwing a large number of heavy shells into Paris from a dis tance of forty or fifty miles. A bombardment from this distance in lnstead of the seventy or more miles covered by the guns heretofore used in the long range bombardment of Paris has been made possible by the advance of the enemy lines effected within the last month.

The Italian losses were slight compared to those sustained by the Austrians, This was due almost en titely to the violence and accuracy of the Italian and allied artillery fire.
