Storz, a brewer, who later divorced
him.
.Lody met his death IN the Tower OF
Londsn, after he was found guilty by

communicated with the enemy. The
statement concerning the execution is
brief, merely saying.

his instructions to spy on the British
navy.

Port Arthur.-The wal is greatly re.
GREETED by foreigners, as 1t has result
ed in a flood Of scurrilous Japanese
cartoons and denunciations showing
the lowest respect for white men. The
japanese newspapers leave no doubt
in the minds Of their readers that ia
pan is waging and winning the war
against the Teutons while Britain, Rus
sia and France cringe thankfully in the
background.
In Vladivostok there is great tur-
MOL over the dispatch Of $4,000 SOL
diers to the westward. Every German
Of the, extensive Teutonic colony there
already has been shipped west to the
prison camps.
Long trains of Japanese guns have
gone to the front. One passenger train,
consisting of half a mile of cars, left
daily for the west for over q week, be.
ing hauled at a snail pace by an anti
quated locomotive, although the good
locomotives in Siberia have been requi'
sitioned for service in Russian Poland
and an extraordinary collection Of Bel
gian, German, Russian and American
locomotives is. attempting to cope With

WAN1 TO INVADE ENGLAND
Submarines May invade Ens|and-Ac'
tivity Marked by Sinking OF Tor
nedo Boat Nicer.

peQo 0odS NISeI'
Deal, England.-By the destruction
of the British torpedo boat Niger,
which was %torpedoed and sunk by a
submarine in the Downs, the realities
of war were brought home, to the in
habitants of Deal and Walmer.
A loud explosion raj heard from
the gunboat as she lay off the Deal
pier and great volumes Of smoke en-
veloped the vessel. When the smoke
cleared the Niger was observed to be
settling down forward. Men, women
and children rushed to the sea front,
exclaiming that the vessel had been
torpedoed or mined. They soon real
lied that the Niger was doomed. The
Deal and Kingsdown life boats, as we'll
as boats from other parts of the beach
were launched in an effort to save the
sailors.
CONSERVATION and almost panic pre-.
vailed among the hundreds who stood
watching the CHASTITY sight from the
beach. Fortunately the North Deal
galley Hope, commanded by Capt. Jno.
Budd, lay at anchor near the spot wait
ing to land the pilot from a London
steamer which was going down the
channel. When the boatmen realized
that, the Niger had been hit by a sub:
marine or mine, to use their own ex'
preston, they rowed like the very
devil.

New OIleans.-Dep0sitiOn from the
Christian ministry, with suspension
from the sacraments of the church un-
til such a time as he shall give evil
dence of a sincere repentance, was
the sentence imposed upon Rev. DR..
John C. Barr, pastor of the seeding
Lafayette Presbyterian Church, by the
New Orleans Presbytery Moncay.
1t was the first time in the history
of the church in Louisiana that the
office of deposition and virtual excom-
m%unication was performed, and Rev.
DR.. U. d. Mooney, pastor of Napoleon
Avenue Presbyterian Church, the
moderator, as he read sentence depos-
ing a brother minister and denying
him the holy sacrament, was formal
almost to the point of solemnity. His
voice was close to breaking with emo
ton several times, and he prefaced
the stern formality with a sincere ex'
preston of regret that, as moderator,
it WAS his heavy duty to depose his
brother in Christ"
DR.. Barr was held guilty of rebel
lion and INSTRUMENTATION, the sin OF
creating a schism in the church was
laid upon him, and the members OF
the presbytery seemed unanimous in
the conclusion that only the severest
penalty that the ecclesiastical court
could impose would serve as fitting
punishment for the offense.
The same sentence was passed
against W. H. Leith. DR.. Barr's assist
ant, at the night session.

were attacked by our troops.
"The siege Of Przemysl, which was
suspended during the period in which
the Austro.German armies were on the

Reports reaching the Russian capital
from the Turkish border attach In
creasing Importance to the part the
Armenians are playing in the Russian
Turkish war.
In several towns occupied by the
Russians the Armenian students have
shown themselves ready to join the
invading army, and explained that
they had prepared themselves for the
Russian approach by constant drill
ing and by gathering arms secretly
All along the line Of march, accord
ing to these advices, the Armenian
peasants are receiving the Russian

WEATHER BoTHERs ARMIES
Battle In Flanders Almost at a Stand
still on Account Of Heavy Rains
and Wind.

London.-The battle OF Flanders,
which was brought atout BY tncsecr
man attempt to advance to Dunkirk
and Calais, on the northern coast OF
France, commenced just four weeks
ago and, despite terrific fighting and
the sacrifice Of thousands Of lives, the
two armies still hold virtually the
same positions as when the first shot
was fired.
After taking Antwerp and Ostend,
the German forces proceeded with lit
tie or no opposition as far as Nieuw.
port, on the User canal. Here they
found against them the reinforced
Belgian army, as we'll as an enfilading
fire from British monitors, and they
were unable to make progress. Floods
then completed the discomfiture OF the
invaders and they commenced an ct.
fort to break through the allied line
between Dixmude and Ypres.
The Germans have had one or two
minor-sometimes only temporary
successes, such as the crossing OF the
canal and the capture of Dixmude, but
now, according to official and other
reports. while they hold a part Of Dix
nude, they are back on the east side
Of the canal and again have slackeDed
their attacks.
The weather, which has been very
stormy, with heavy rains, says the
statement Of the German general army
headquarters, has disturbed their oper-
ations. This may we'll be true, for
people who have arrived from across
the English channel during the past
few days say a high wind has been
driving the rain across open spaces,
filling the trenches and making it next
to impossible for the men to protect
themselves.
In spite Of the ~unfavorable condi-
tions, both sides have been making
charges and both claim to have met
with some success. The Germans again
report the capture Of q number OF pris'
oners and also that they have repulsed
the British and French attacks.

TARNAW, JosLo AND kRosNo,"
SAYS VIENNA.
VICTORY CLAIMED BY BOTH
On Western Front the Allies and Ger
mans Make Claims Of Success.
Big Engagements Are in
Progress in East.

New York.-Russia has driven the
Austrians out of the towns of TarnoW,
Jas!o and krosno, in Galica, and the
Austrians probably now are retreatlng
toward the Carpathian Mountains.
THE enemy has marched into Tar
now, Jaslo and Krosno," is the cryptic
style in which the Vienna officials an
nounce this reverse to her arms. Pet
rograd merely announces the taking
of Krosno, with heavy losses to the
Austrian rear guard. Nothing is said
Of the other two towns in the Russian
official report.
On the western battle front the al
lies are said to have retaken Dixmude
from the Germans. This report is I'M
Official. and has not been confirmed
by either Paris CIR London. Fighting
in the vicinity of Dixmude and also
around Ypres continues to be extreme
ly violent.
In the western zone both the allies
and the Germans make claims to sue
cess at various points. These claims,
however, do not carry with them an
nouncements of decisive victories at
any point.
The Germans say their marines at
| Newport inflicted heavy losses on the
| allies; that they captured 700 prison
ers. :.
THAI big engagements r already in
progre $ or are about to begin in the
east, al the way from the. northern
part of East Prussia to the eastern
point Of Galicia, seems evident from
the troops dispositions of the Ger
mans and the Russians. Some battles
have already taken place on the north
east, there the Germans r making
preparations to contest vigorously any
Russian attempt to gain a foothold IN
Eastern Prussia.
The Austrians say they have en-
tirely cleared their territory OF thu
Servian enemy.
A Turkish report coming by way o.
Berlin says the Russians are retreat
ing all along the entire battle front
That huge sums of money will b.

London.-A critical stage in the bat.

ed. and the near future should produce
something decisive.
The Germans, with all the forces at

tack the British and French, who hold
the line between Dixmude and Ypres;
but except for the capture Of Dixmude,
which occurred Tuesday, and some 1T
tie progress around. Ypres, they have
net made material advances.

some Prussian Guards, who attempted
an offensive movement against thu
British, but without success.

BIG SAVING IN
LEVEE CONTRACTS
TOTAL AMOUNT INVOLVED IN
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
$315,425.10.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-Never in the history
of the levee contract system along
the Mississippi river have so many
contractors entered a levee competi-
ton Is were present in the United
States engineers Office in New Orleans
Monday when bids for more than
5000, 600 worth Of government levee
work in the Fourth Mississippi Dis
trict were opened. The most remark.
able feature of the bidding Monday,
however, was the low price per cubic
yard for which the various bidders
offered to do the work. Compared with
the prices paid by the government for
levee work last year in this district,
a total saving Of $142, 010.30 was made
in the contracts for which bids were
approved. The total amount involved
in the contracts Is $31.5,425.10.
A total of forty contractors, includ-
ing many well-known firms Of Louis
lana, Mississippi and Tennessee, sub
mitted bids. Except in the case of
n small contract, for $500 cubic
yards, lower bids were submitted on
all the work than were received last
year. This particular bid, which was
for the construction Of a strip of levee
at Lauderdale, in the Lafourche Dis.
trict was rejected by Major w. G. Ca
pies, chief engineer of this district, as
being too high.
Major Caples vas gratiied at the
large number of bids submitted and
the low prices offered by the contrac'
tors. On account of the long tillibus'
ter made in the United States Senate
against the original rivers and har.
bors bill, the amount of money finally
allotted to this district for river i'm
| provement work was only Slightly
more than $1,000, 900, or about one
half the amount expended last year
The remarkable saving of $142,010.3(
in the contracts for which Major Ca
pies approved bids Monday is proof
that he is doing everything possible
to make the government appropria
ton for this year bring forth good re
suits. This saving will make It pos
sible for him to do further work in thu
different districts.
The average price per cubic yart
paid last year and the net saving il
each district on the bids approve!
Monday are as follows:
Lower Tensas-Average price 1913
22.45 cents; amount saved, $43,s25.
Atchafalaya-Average price 1911;
24.33 cents; net saving, $~44,440.55.
MISUNDERSTANDING price 1S1;
22.S9 cents; net saving, $20.865.
Barataria-Average price 1911;
23.7O cents; net saving, $675.
Ponchartrain-Average price 191;
2O.S cents; net saving, $20,442.60 {.
Lake Borgne-Average price 191;
;. 2O.35 cents; net saving, $11,762.15.
A total Of 2,148,000 cubic yards
levee work are embraced in the col
tracts. All of the bids are subjet
to approval by the chief Of engineer
in Washington, but it is assumed thu
the recommendations made by Ma1t
Caples will. be adopted. The Nair
levee, in the Barataria district. an
the Millaudon levee, In the Lab
), Borgne district, must be completed b
September l, 1915; the other contracd
