While deprecating the exaggerated
reports of Russian successes i'm the
battle in northern Poland where the
German emperor has Joined Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg to offer his
advice and encourage his troops, the
latest available official reports from
Russian headquarters state that the
advantage in the lighting still lies
with the Russian army
1t is also officially said that enor-
nous losses have been inflicted on
the Germans. but no mention Is made
OF the capture of German divisions
which has been so freely claimed by
the Petrograd correspondent OF Lon
don and Paris papers.
Germans Claim Advantage.
Opposed to this is the German Of
fcial report which says that the Rus
sian attacks have been repulsed and
that the German counter-attacks have
been successful.
Some days must elapse before this
battle, which promises to prove the
most decisive of the war, Is conclud-
ed.
In the battle before Cracow. the
Russians claim success. During the
last week they took $1,000 Austrian
and German prisoners in this region.
This victory is taken in Petrograd to
mean that Cracow will not bar the
Russian advance in Silesia from the
south, but that, with the Austrian
army beaten. it will be necessary
only to mask the fortress.
The Russians likewise, announce
success on the Austrian side of the
Carpathians and against the Turks

gions the worst Of weather has pre-
vailed
Use Lighter Guns.
In the western area the Germans,
although making an occasional in
fantry attack, seem at present con-
tent to lombard the allied positions,
but with somewhat lighter guns than
they have been using. This may mean
either that they are sending troops
and artillery TO the east to use against
the Russians, or that they are pre-
pairing new attack against the al
lies.
There has been a minor attack
near Arras. but not in strong enough
force 10 suggest that the Germans

protest and against the Judgment Of
her people. accepted a less sum than
that which we offer, 1t would not re-

situation demand.

doubt against ourselves and in favor
of Colombia
Colombia feels that she has been
aggrieved. and whatever may be said
as 10 whether or not this feeling is
justified no one will deny that she
has sustained great financial loss in
the separation of Panama from her.
Before the separation took place, this
government offered Colombia $4,000
600 for the canal route and $250000 a
year for 100 years.
This annuity might be capitalized
at about 81. 100000, so that this gov
ernment's estimate of the loss suf-
fered by Colombia could not be less
than about Sl15O0000. But that es-
innate was made up on the SUPPOSE
ton that Colombia would retain the
state or department Of Panama. The
retention of Panama would have
given to Colombia not only the value
of Panama but the incidental bene-
fits to be derived from proximity to
the canal We cannot deny, there
fore. that the actual loss to Colombia
was considerably more than $25,o0o,-
600.
Dr. Bots in the Negotiations.
But we have a later estimate to
consider, namely, that placed upon
the loss by the preceding admins
tration. While there is a dispute as
to whether Mr. Dubois exceeded his
authority in the proposition that he
made, there is no doubt that he was
authorized to make known to Colom-
bia that the United States would offer
as the basis of a treaty. If assured by
Colombia. $10,OO0,0O0 for the Atrara
river canal route.
This reversionary interest was
sc, oil Q1G nm nm s4r1,4 rt,
would have been the sum awarded to
Colombia if the arbitrat ton was de-
cided in her favor. The $4,000. 900
for the Artrara route-and the $10-
600, 900 was evidently intended more
as liquidated damages than as the
price of the canal route-together
with the value of the reversionary in
terest in the railroad, would amount
to $4,000, 900.
"But Mr.. Dubois went further than
this and suggested arbitration of a
canal lease, which might have added
some $17.000.000 more. and then upon
his own responsibility, in order to
sound Colombia as to her demand,
asked if she would consider $25, 0000 900,
with the arbitration of the reversion-
airy interest in the railroad and with
out granting any privileges whatever.
This question, while unauthorized,
couiu not out create III tne minus OF
the people of Colombia the idea that
this government was willing to go
further than its formal offer.
''eeference is made to what has
b6ea done because former estimates
created expectations which made it
impossible TO secure treaty on more
favora BILE terms than those embodied
in the present treaty. The canal and
canal zone concessions contained in
the treaty are substantially those
embodied in the Root-Cortez treaty.

Special TO the Evening Star.
ATLANTIC CITY. July 13.-The
body of Horace Harmon Lurton, AS
sociate Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. who died at the MARI
borough Blenheim here early yester-
day, was taken to Washington today
and will be buried in Oakville, Tenn,
on Thursday. The cause of death was
cardiac asthma. superinduced by a
premature return to work. Justice
Lurton was seventy years old.
Last December Justice Lurton was
stricken with pneumonia and asthma
and he was compelled to lay down his
work to go TO Florida with his family.
At that time it was reported that he
would resign, but he fought hard to
regain his health and insisted on re-
turning to Washington in April, when
he resumed his seat in the Supreme
Court, taking an active part in one
of the most notable sessions in the
courts history.
Justice Lurton was the fourth eX-
Confederate soldier to become a mem
Der of the country's highest court.
He was the appointee of former Pres
ident Taft, who had become his init
mate friend when they were both
judges of the Sixth United States Cir
cult Court. Justice Lurton took his
seat on the bench on January 8, 1910.
Justice Lurton was born in New
port, Campbell county. KY. February
%. 1874 When the Civil War began
he enlisted in the Thirty fifth Ten
nessee, commanded by Colonel B. ].
Hill, being made sergeant-major.
At the battle of Fort Donelson he
was taken prisoner and confined in
Fort Chase. He escaped and prompt
~ e-enlisted in the Third Kentucky
Cavalry, with which he served until
July. 1868, when he was again cap
tured in Ohio on General Morgan's
famous raid. His mother made a
personal appeal to President Lincoln
and he was released on parole. At
the close of the war he was studying
law in Columbia University, gradu-
ating in 1867
When he was thirty years old JUS
tice Lurton was appointed chancellor
of the sixth chancery division of Ten
nessee by Governor James ID. Porter.
In 1876 he was elected to the same
position without opposition. In 1878
ne resigned and returned to the prac-
tise of law at Clarksyille in partner
ship with Charles G. Smith.
In 1886 he was elected a Judge OF
the Supreme Court of Tennessee and
became chief justice in January. 1893
In March of that year he was APP
pointed circuit judge of the Sixth
judicial circuit of the United States
by President Cleveland to succeed
Howell E. Jackson. who had been ele-
waited to the United States Supreme
bench.
He was professor of constitutions
law in Vanderbilt University from
1898 until 1910 and dean of the uni
versity from 1905 until 1910.
In politics Justice Lurton was al
ways a staunch Democrat. He wa.
never active in party affairs, but il
his early years he affiliated with tn,
Democratic party and never desert
ed 1t. His appointment, therefore. L
the Supreme bench by former Pres
ident Taft was a particularly strik
ing testimonial of the high regard il
which his friend held him
