BERLIN, Aug. 29-The funds of the Japanese subjects now on depos it here in German banks have been impounded and will be used by the government in the war against Japan and the allies.
 Russians Making Alarming Progress.
 ROME, Aug. 29.-The newspapers in Trieste, Austria, report Russian troops as making alarming progress in their invasion of Austria and have overrun the province of Galicia, which is being defended by a large Austrian army. The Austrian army in Poland is now on half rations, as no supplies can be secured for them and when secured cannot be for warded as the roads are almost i'm. passable from recent heavy rains, and the railroads are blocked.
 Austrians Are Retreating.
 The Austrian army is retreating to the arpathian mountains, where they hope to be able to stop. It is report ed from Servia that the Russians are trying to get between the Austrian army and the mountains and cut them off from the only hope of es- cape.
 Enormous Russian Army.
 The Austrians are only beginning to realize the hugeness of the Rus sian army, which has been divided into many sections, any one of which outnumbers the divisions of the Aus trians in Galicia, and although the Russian army at Sandomierz was de- feated several days ago, second army came down from Lutsk, while third worked across the border from Kami.
 May Separate Austria and Germany.
 It is believed in Vienna that the Russians intend to break through the Austrian lines near the border of Germany, Austria and Russia and by forcing large army towards Vii enna cut the Germans away from the Austrians and prevent them re- inforcing one another and thus oper- ate with big force against the Rus sian army divisions.

CT. RIxEY'sl CASE E
Counsel for Convicted Banker Ap.
pear Before Court of Appeals
ii Today. rs

r. Claiming that C. Jones Rixey, for
mer president of the Virginia SAT-
Deposit and Trust Corporation O
,lis city, has been ordered to the
Southwestern Asylum for the Grim
inai Insane at Marion, Va, without
due process of law and that the act
Of the general assembly of Virginia
providing for the commitment o1
! persons to that hospital was invalid
because there was no such hospital
/ at the time of the order for Mr.. RiX-
ey's commitment there. and alleging
other grounds for the release of their
client, Attorneys John l.. Jeffries, of
Norfolk and JAMES R. Cation, of this
city, appeared before the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia this
molning and asked for the release Of
Mr.. Rixey on a writ of habeas corpus.
The court took the application under
consideration and will set a date for a
hearing.
Many interesting points of law are
embraced in this, attempt of Mr..
Eixev to secure his release from the
ASYLUM, the principal one being on the
validity of the act of the general as
sembly in reference to the criminal in
sane. When Mr.. Rixey was placed
in the custody of the City Sergeant
L,oX, of Alexandria to be removed to
Marion the hospital had not been COM
pleted and he was temporarily placed
1t Staunton where he is still con-
fined.
another point brought up by his
attorneys is that the corporation
court of this city did not have the
right to have a lmacy commission
appointed to examine Mr.. Rixey's
sanity as he had already been judged
insane by commission held a1l
Orange Va. September 9th, 1911.
The four grounds for the writ of
nabeas corpus are as follows:
1st. That the Act Of tie General
Assembly of Virginia under winch
G J. Rixey was committed by the
order of the Corporation Court OF.
the city of Alexandria entered on che.
18th of February. 1912 to Tie custody
of the Sergeant of the city of Alex
andria to be by him delivered TO thel
Superintendent of the southwestern!
State Hospital for the Insane att
Marion. to be there confined lnj
The Ward for the Criminal lnsane'ii
was invalid because the act under
which the order of the Corporatlon
Court was made was imperative at
he date of the order. and because
here existed at that time no such
Ward for the Criminal Insane.
2nd. Because the order OF the.
Corporation Court violates the pro-
visions of the second PARAGRAPH OF
Sections. Article of the Constitu-
ton of Virginia
3rd. That the judgment OF the
Commission of Lunacy held IN the
.-ountv of Oranre on the 9th of Sep
tember, 1911. was res adJudlcata,
and therefore the Corporation Court
could not proceed any further with
the case until the defendant was
discharged from the Western State

retrograd, Nov. 27--If one may be-
ieve reports from unusually well in
formed private source, the Germans
have met in Poland with the greatest
disaster that has befalen them since
the beginning of the war. Even ac-
cording to the laconic official COM
foundations, their position is grave.
Just east of Lodz large German
force is hemmed in by the Russians
N the line Of Strykow, BrZeziny,

This force is believed 10 consist
Of three army corps, including the
irussian Guard. Already numbers Of
"Iussian Guards are being led as
prisoners through Warsaw.
The situation is curious. The Ger
mans hoping they would be able to
'iike a rapid blow before the Rus
.ians succeeded in concentrating,
broke through the Russian center.
Their objective was clearly the
ritrokow on the line between Czen-
%;;ochowa and Warsaw. and they were
of establishing themselves
light in the heart of the Russian
armies. and then disposing of them
liccemeal.
The position of the Russians seem-
=! very serious, and in the intrlcacles
OF this maneuvering it was almost
impossible for the immediate particl-
ant. to tell whether they were being
ruided to q great victory or defeat.
The Russian troops fought with the
utmost stubborness. inhicting blow

There came day when somebody

SheerneSs, England, VIA London
Nov. 27-The British battleship Bul
ws.rk was destroyed by terrific ex'
plosion as she lay off here yesterday
morning. There are only IA survivors
from the crew of 700 or 800 men who
were aboard.
The explosion is believed to have
occurred in her forward magazine.
; Whether it was caused by accident or
o. design is a question to be deter
mined by the commission which has
been appointed to investigate.
IN the opinion of naval men, it was
an internal explosion that put an end
to the battleship which for twelve
Years had done service at home and
abroad, and lately had been doing
her part in guarding England's shores
There was no great upheaval of wa
ter. such as would have, occurred if
she had been torpedoed or struck by
q mine.
Instead, the ship was enveloped IN
smoke and flame, and when this had
cleared nothing could be seen but
wreckage floating on the water.
Houses in towns seven and eight
niles away were shaken by the en-
rlosion, and even before men on ships
anchored nearby could reach their
own decks, the Bulwark had disap-
pcared. The neighborhood was stresn
with an enormous amount of wreck
age, while pieces of ship were thrown
six or seven miles onto the Essex
shore.
The British battleship Bulwark, Is,

London, Nov. 27-Thatl the activity

sea and English Channel continues

OF the British steamship Malachite
while bound from Liverpool to Havre.
Tine Malachite, which was owned by
the Cunard Line, was stopped 8 miles
west of Cape la Heve by German
submarine, and her crew was given
ten minutes to get. into the ships
small boats. When this was done, the
submarine fired a torpedo, which
sank tht English merchantman. Then
the submarine disappeared, leaving
+he Malachite's sailors to make their
way to Havra. which they DID IN
safety.
Unconfrmed rumors were clrculat-
ed in shipping circles today to the
effect that the British converted
