AS to Filing of
Expense Accts
LEGAL OPINION DIFFERS As TO
TIME LIMIT OF DECLARATIONS
AS AFFECTING CANDIDATES.
ELIGIBILITY.

Candidates in their desire to COM
are encountering all sorts of COM
pleations. IN Washoe county an
opinion was received from the attor-
ney general to the effect that ex-
pense accounts must be filed only on
August 27. A copy of the opinion
has not been received by County
Clerk Oldfield. and as result the To-
cal candidates are not worrying.
District Attorney Billings differs
from the stand taken by the state s
legal adviser, and states that candi-
dates who filed their statement of
the expenses they had incurred in
the primaries previous to last Thurs
day were complying with the provis-
ions Of the corrupt practices act.
Twenty-eight candidates for coun-
ty Office filed their statements with
the county clerk prior to the time
designated by the attorney general.
and il his contention is correct none
of them will be eligible for place
on the ballot.
The opinion from Carson says
that candidates for district Judge
should file their expense accounts
here, but other authorities do not
agree with this view. A. L. Haight
and c. A. Eddy, both of whom are
seeking a place on the judiciary,
fled both with the county clerk and
the secretary of state. William Nc
Knight, c. J. McFadden and J. NJ.
Lockhart filed only with the secretary
of state.

Russians Are
Getting Busy
Is COMPELLED TO
WITHDRAW 10000 MEN WHO
WERE FIGHTING FRENCH IN
ORDER TO STAY SLAv HORDES

So serious has become the menace
of the Russians in Eastern Prussia
that the Germans yesterday detached
10000 men from the operations
against the French in Belgium, and
transported them in 100 trains to
aid the German forces in opposing the
Cars advance.
The Germans maintain that five
Russian corps have been defeated by
the Austrians and Germans In East
Prussia The Russians on the other
hand report that the army of in
vasion continues to force the Ger
mans back. The indications are that
the allies in Belgium have been rein
forced and are holding the enemy
back
The past week has been one of un-
certainty in the European war situa-
tion and the conflicting reports from
the fields of action have left doubts
as to the true state of affairs. All
dispatches, however. seem to point
to slow advancement towards
France of the German forces, al
though the allies are making we'll
sustained resistance and the move
ment of the French and English
troops has been more strategic and
defensive than otherwise. There has
been fighting over large area OF
country with appalling losses on all
sides. The Russian forces are becom-
ing more in evidence as factor
against he kaiser but as yet have
not seriously hampered the German
operations. England is realizing the
immesity of the campaign. and while
her land lighting has not thus far
neen crowned with noticeable victory
she maintains her prestige on the
seas.
The first important naval action OF
the war was fought Friday in Heligo-
land blight, resulting in smashing
blow delivered by the British cruis-
ers. destroyers and, submarines
against the German scouting squad

The net damage to the German
fleet was two cruisers and two de-
stroyers sunk and one cruiser Sc,
afire and last seen in sinking con-
dition.
The officer in chief command o.
the British force was Rear Admiral
Sir David Beatty. who married the
daughter of Marshall Field of Chi
oago.
Following is the text issued by the
official press bureau:
early this morning a concerted
operation of some consequence was
attempted against the Germans in
Heligoland blight.
"A strong force of destroyers, sup
ported by light cruisers and battle
cruisers and working in conjunction
with the submarines. intercepted and
attacked the German destroyers and
cruisers guarding the approaches to
the German coast.

THE enemy's cruisers were en-

only light damage. The first battle
