Keene, July 14.--A Peterboro boy in writing home of the bombardment by the Germans of the Canadian trenches just before the Allies' big drive began, tells how the Canadians with only rifies to fight with charged the Germans in the face of the lat- ter's machine gun fire. He says the enemy got within five or six hundred yards of their first line, 'but we held them for over two hours and a half until the reinforcements reached us. The Germans were only fifty yards away when we saw them coming through the woods. race for our lives to see who would get there first, and as our men won the race, the Germans were falling in bunches, not saying anything about ourselves.

The battle, which opened 143 days ago, is fast approaching a climax. Only one of the larger defense works now separates the Germans from the city, the shattered Fort Souville. Against this work the Crown Prince is bringing the full fury of his artil- lery to bear. Already the German infantry is almost before the battle- ments of the stronghold, following their success of the previous night at the point where the Fleury and Vaux poads joined. The German approach to Verdun now lies down hill. Their capture of Froid Terre has given them ar- tillery command of the neighborhood and from this dominating position they are pouring down a tremendous fire into Souville and the two smaller forts to the - southward, Belleville and 'St. Michel. In the last two days Berlin an- nounces, more than 2,000 prisoners have been taken in the fighting around Souville. The recently cap- tured positions are being consoli- dated by the Germans and the heavy guns are being brought still further forward. BRITAIN TO PAY $390,000. Award in Case of the Ship's Cargo.

London, July 14.--British troops broke the German line on a four-mile front at dawn to-day with a smashing blow that swept the British lines into the villages of Longueval and Bazentin-le-Grand and cleared tae Trones Wood, an advance of more than a mile. The gain is the greatest scored for the Anglo-French offensive since the opening of the great assault thirteen days ago. "At dawn we attacked the enemy's second system of defence," said an official bulletin from Gen. Haig, given out at 11 am. "We broke in hostile positions on a four-mile front, capturing several strongly defended localities. Heavy fighting continues." Later despatches from press headquarters on the front announc- ed the capture of Longueval, Bazentin-le-Grand, and the clearing of the Trones Wood in the early hours of the fighting. The blow was struck at the very sector of the battle front where the Germans had assembled their heaviest bodies of reinforcements. The early bul- out to make room for others.

"At last most of those who eame into the hole were wounded, some badly, so we were lying in blood. "There was only one doctor. He bandaged some of us until he had no more bandages. '"The last night we knew the end was coming. Our guns began to fire all together---the dreadful 'drum fire,' as we call it--and the shells smashed up the earth about us. "We stayed down in the hole wait- ing, and then we heard the British soldiers shouting. Presently two came into the hole. They had their pockets full of bombs and some in| their hands also, and they seemed to wonder whether they would kill us, but we were nearly all wounded, and we cred 'kameraden," and now we are prisoners." Half Defenders Fall. Other prisoners said the effect of the British fire was terrible at Can- talmaison, and at least half of the men holding it were killed or wound- ed, so that when the British soldiers entered they walked over bodies: Those who escaped were in a piti- ful condition. Most lay on the] ground, utterly exhausted, with their | faces to the earth to blot out the vis-| jon of the things they had seen. | Documents captured in the dugouts| tell the full horror of the bombard- ment. "We are quite shut off from the] rest of the world," wrote one Ger-| man soldier the day before the at-| tack. Nothing comes to us, the| English just push a barrage on our approaches. It is terrible, "To-morrow morning it will be seven days since the bombardment | began. We cannot hold out much longer. Everything is shot to] pieces." Tortures of Thirst.

HUMAN BODY WAS FOUND IN THE STOMACH OF THE MAN- EATING MONSTER. The Shark Weighed Over Three . Hundred Pounds and Was Eleven Feet Long--Dynamite Used to Blow the Shark to the Surface After Being Trapped. - New York, July 14.--A monster shark, whose stomach contained part of a human body, was killed at Key- port, N.J., yesterday, according to information received at the weather bureau here from the observer at Long Branch, N.J. The shark, weighing 300 -pounds | and eleven feet long, was killed near the mouth of Matawan Creek, N.J., and is undoubtedly the same fish which invaded the creek and killed two bathers. The shark was caught in a fish trap. Richard Erdman, one of the party hunting the man-eater, reported yes- terday afternoon that he saw the shark's fin within ten feet of the spot where the bathers were attack- ed yesterday. Two large charges of dynamite were dropped immediately and men, armed with rifles, lined the bands of the creek and shot the sea monster as he was blown to the surface.
