Will Repeat Them Today Hundreds of thousands of persons watched with bated breath last night while Ruth Law, greatest woman flyer in the United States, made the most sensational flight in The Inquirer aeroplane which has ever been seen in this city. WIth her machine a mass of dazzling lights, the daring young aviatrix raced through the air at a mad speed of nearly a hundred miles an hour, fearlessly performed aerial trick after aerial trick and made her frail biplane turn in constant evolutions at a speed which made the spectators gasp. Never has a single event so stirred Philadelphia as did The Inquirer's greeting to the 18,000 delegates and visitors to the twelfth annual convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. It followed a similar performance at noon yesterday, which likewise created a municipal sensation.

Draper Special Cable to The Inquirer. London, June 26- At last the long-heralded and much-delayed grand offensive of the Allies seems to be on hand. Indeed, if events rather than official announcements mark its opening,it is already well under way. Paris and London have said nothing regarding the important operations now developing. It has been left to admissions from the Central Powers to establish their existence. Thus as against the silence of the British War Office, Berlin today chronicled the opening of "important battles' on the sector held by Sir Douglas Haig. ---- International First to Show Ruth Law in Flight Miss Ruth Law filling the gallon tank of her aeroplane, preparatory to starting on the trip from Chicago to New York, on which she made the non-stop record of 590 miles.

Military authorities expressed the opinion that approximately 20,000 guardsmen will arrive here before the end of the week, and with the 5000 regular troops now stationed here, will make El Paso the largest military concentration camp in the United States. With the entire National Guard of Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut, approximating 10,000 men, under orders to entrain for El Paso, General Reorge Bell, Jr., commanding the local military district, said that he was making preparations for the housing and rationing of 25,000, so he would be prepared to care for any additional troops sent him. 5000 Go to Fort Bliss It is planned that about 5000 of the State troops now on their way here, will be stationed at Fort Bliss, on the outskirts of the town, while camp sites were laid within the corporate limits of the city for the remaining 5000. General Bell said that water mains had been laid, sewer connections made and the ground leveled, leaving nothing for the guardsmen to do upon their arrival but to set up their canvas. Arrangements have been made for the drilling of recruits by non-commissioned officers of the regular army on station here. Major William Elliott, in charge of the army quartermaster depot here, said he had begun a heavy concentration of supplies, preparatory to the arrival of the guardsmen. It was estimated that a million dollars' worth of supplies, equipment, food and forage is in transit to the depot.
