School boards all over the country
now recognize the big educational
attraction the Barnes big wild animal
circus has to offer, in their specially
arranged "personally conducted trip"
through the animal tents at 1 p. m.
Teachers .pupils and their escorts
who are desirous of taking advantage of this rare opportunity to study
animal nature at first hand are requested to bo at the entrance of the
main tent at 1 p. m„ where they will
be segregated in a body and permitted  to enter first.
Once inside tho party will bo taken in charge by a lecturer and attendants who will escort them about,
explaining traits, characteristics and
incidents of the different animals. A
woman will be among the attendants
to look after the comforts of girls
and women, men doing the same for
the boys.
From the animal tent the party is
escorted into the main tent where a!
special block of seats have been sot
aside for them. Here attendants are
stationed to answer any questiotns
the party may wish to ask and to see"
that none  stray away or get hurt.

A bear, leopard, dog and monkey

pumas riding horses and jumping
through hoops of fire clearly demonstrated tho master mind of man over

African lion, soaring to the top of the
tent surrounded by spurting fireworks is another instance of man overcoming animal nature—elephants

The mandate of this committee is to
restore internal order, both at the
front and at home—admittedly a, difficult task in the face of the powerful
influence both within and without the
nation working against the present
regime. It is evidently one, however,
with which Kerensky, conceded the
strongest man to be found for the task,
is willing-to grapple with all his widely  recognized force and  ability.

London, July 24.—The desperate on-]
slaughts of the crown prince's forces
are meeting with gallant resistance by
General Petain's troops and such small
bits of territory as have been regained by the Germans on the Western
front have been dearly paid for.
German assaults have been renewed on the Californie and Casemates
plateaus, for the mastery of which
colossal efforts are being put forth.
Some headway was made on both
these elevations, but General Petain's
men are clinging bravely to them both,
although driven out of first line
trenches.. The Germans attacked the
support trenches on the Californie
plateau, but it w~ . retained by the
French in its entirety.

raid, carried out over the East coast
of England, resulted in the repulse of
about twenty German airplanes after
they had dropped several bombs over
Felixstowe and Harwich, killing eleven
persons and injuring twenty-six.
An alarm was sounded in London,
but before the Germans' could reach
any point near the city' they were attacked heavily by defending spuadrons
of aircraft, which speedily caused
them to change their minds and beat
a hasty retreat.
So far as has been reported, one of
the Germans was brought down at sea,
near the Belgian coast.
