The AuStrianS seem to be In an
extremely dangerous position and
if they are defeated by the Rus

They appear to have other trou-

peror Francis Joseph is danger

Two InvasiOns of Austria.
The SermianS, having driven all
Austrian troops out of their terri

while little Montenegro, after a
couple of preliminary successes,

from the south.
However, AuStria'S biggest Op-

quickly to Subdue her so that she
can pay more attention to her at
tack on Germany, which is wait

Austrian army.
The Germans have been busy in
Belgium again. They have taken
possession of Chen without a

5000 Enlist at London.
The recruiting of Lord Kitch-

The stubborn British fighting in
France has had much to do with
this eagerneSS to join the army,
although the bitterness aroused
by Strewing the German mines,
which have destroyed many fish
ing boats and merchant steamers,
has helped.
Statistics published today show
that German ships of a value of
about S25, 100000 either have been
captured or sunk by the British,

MERCHANTS CARNIVAL.

The Merchants Carnival which
was given at the Elite Theater
Monday and Tuesday nights un-
der the auspices of the ladies of
the Presbyterian church, was well
attended and was one of the very
best entertainments of the sea-
son. Practically all of the buSi-
ness firms of the city were repre-
Sented, there being lady black
smiths, BARRIERS, butchers, print
erS, dentists, etc. In fact, about
every business and profession was
represented most ably by the
ladies, and the different firms de-
rived some good advertising from
the entertainment, and the ladies
deserved the nice little sum they
cleared from the enterprise.

NEW YORK SELLS
OFF BY FRACTIONS
Price Recessions on Americans
in London Market Reflected
Here.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Depressed by
general price recessions of American
issues in London the stock market sold
off fractionally this morning. With
the exception of those issues which
have been the weak spots in the market
for several days the losses ranged be-
tween q and a point.
The unfavorable attitude of the
foreign markets toward American
stocks was attributed to the unsettled
Ulster situation, the continued threat
ening aspect of the Austro-Servia con-
troversy, and the French financial con-
dition.
Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and
Ohio. and Lehigh Valley were the weak
est of the railroads. The first sold
down to new low record, at s6s: Chesa-
peake and Ohio went off full point
from Yesterdays close. but rallied later.
and Lehigh VALLEY broke 2s points 70
1929. but recovered a portion OF lis
loss.
Rock Island joined the class of frac-
tional stocks, its common dropping TO
Il. The collateral trust bonds, how
ever. which yesterday broke sharply
showed a good gain. TIE debenture s,
nevertheless, continued weak. going to
55Z, as compared with 60 at the close
yesterday.
New Haven did not reflect the de-
velopments in its affairs as sharply as
might have been expected. While II de-
clined from yesterdays hSures, It's
