LONDON, July 17. -The British
stormed and captured a German sec
ond line position on a fifteen hun
dred yard front late last night In
the continuation of their steady drive
north of the fomme. General Haig
reports that an advance wan made
northwset of Bazentin le Petit, push-
ing the British lines to the outskirts
of Martin Puch village.
BERLIN, July 17.—The war of
flee announced this morning that the
British had penetrated Ovillers wood
and that heavy fighting had heen re
sumed south of the Somme.
By United Press.
LONDON, July 17.—(By Keen.)
The Kaiser was at the Somme front
when his army was forced to retreat
perclpltately before the smashing at
tack of the British forces. His pres
ence was confirmed officially in Ber
lin. Press dispatches said the British
at Monkueval Friday fought in the
darkness in the bomb proof cellars
like cavemen.

sT. LA1UIS. July 15.—A few rain
utes work next Wedesnday will
bring Thomas T. Fauntleroy. spec
ial master appointed to sell the
St. Ixtuis & San Francisco property
$50,000.
All Fauntleroy will do will be to
dispose of the property at a public
sale, at which the minimum price of
♦15,730,000 has been fixed by the
court and at which undoubtedly only
one bidder will appear. The bidder
will be the reorganization committee
whose plan for financing the road
has been submitted to and approved
by the public service commission af-
ter several changes were made in
the advanced plans.
The sale, railroad men say, will
be perfunctory. Probably one of the
most difficult tasks In connection
with the sale, so far as Faimtleroy’a
work was concerned, it is said, wag
the preparation of advertisements an-
nouncing the sale of the property.
But for that and the other routine
work he received a salary of $10,000
anunally. lie has been three years
on the Job thereby bringing his sal-
ary total to $30,000. Add to that the
$50,000 It is estimated will come
him Wednesday through the sale and
the amount of payment for his ser-
vices reaches $80,000.
LAWTON, July    17.—While    the
