WARNINGS To TWO
SHIPS TO LOOK
OUTFOR BOMBS
Both British Vessels, Loaded With
Mules for Army Use
MAY HAVE EXPLOSIVES ABOARD
Threatening Letter to New Orleans
Newspaper Basis of Action by
Navy Department.

Washington, July 12-Warning to
look out for bombs concealed in
their holds was flashed last night
from the naval wireless towers at Ar
lington, Va, to two ships at sea
which sailed from New Orleans Fri
day Both the vessels, the British
steamships Iiowth Head and Baron
Napier, cleared with cargoes of
mules for the British army Thursday
and sailed the next day, the former
for Dublin and Belfast by way Of
Norfolk, and the latter direct for
Monmouth.
Sending of the warning was order
cd by Secretary Daniels upon receiv-
ing a telegram from New Orleans
saying letter to that
paper signed "Pearce" indicated that
explosives had been placed aboard
those vessels.
a letter received by newspaper
in New Orleans last night signed
"Pcarce' declared the writer intend
ed to kill j. r. Morgan and Sir Cecil
Spring-Bice. the British ambassador,
and finish the work of Erich Muen-
ter, who committed suicide several
days ago, after woundng Mr., Nor
gan 1t warned persons who had
friends or relatives aboard the Brit.
ish steamships IIowth Head and
Baron Napier to watch for reports
from those vessels.
The writer. according to a dispatch
from New Orleans, declared that it
was Muenter who warned passengers
on board the Lusitania before that
vessel sailed from New York that it
would be dangerous to make the voy-
age on her 1t also is declared that
Muenter personally called on Charles
Frohman and urged him not to take
passage on the ship.

day since then some section of the
German trenches has been taken,
lost, or retaken.
Each side has been employing for
midable artillery both of small and
heavy calibre, the French guns being
somewhat more numerous and serv-
ed with unlimited quantities of high
explosive shells.
A correspondent of The Associated
Press today went through five or six
miles of the trenches formrely held
by the Germans and reconstructed
by the French. who now have aban-
doned them to move forward. Up
ward of 100000 Germans have fallen
or been captured in these trenches,
according to the French official
count, since the second week of
March. The French losses, the cor
respondent was conGdentially inform
ed, While serious, have been much
smaller than those of the Germans
There are thickets of little crosses
of twigs tied together, mark
~, the graves between the trenches.
Some Of these graves have been
torn UP by the shell fire.
Almost every square yard of this
region is marked by miniature crat-
ers caused by exploding shells Spots
where shells penetrated the earth
without exploding are indicated by
signs bearing the words Live Shell"
One line of the German works was
just below the summit of steep
slope which, from the nature of the
ground, could not be shelled without
danger to the French position a little
higher up. The Germans were shell
tered in dugouts under the hillside,
and their French assailants, sliding
or jumping down into the trenches,
were shot or bayoneted from caves.
The line was finally taken by tossing
grenades by the basketlul into the
trenches until most of the defenders
in the concaycd shelters were killed
or wounded Every curve or angle
in the miles of labyrnthine cuttings
has its story of tragedy and hero
ism.

TUE ETONS UNABLE
TO join FORCES
IN THE WEST
Russians Have Checked AuStriaus
in Southern Poland
ALSO HOLD UP MACKEhSOA
Expected Move BY German Crown
\ Princes Army Has Not
Begun.

London, Monday, July 12-The
check which the Russians have i'm
posed on Archduke Joseph Ferdin-
and's army in southern Poland and
he additional strain which this has
placed on the German general Won
Mackonsen's army to the right have
postponed, it is believed in military
circles here, the threatened German
offensive in the west, and there is
now possibility that the Allies will
he the first to take the offensive.
In support OF this it is pointed out
that the attacks by the German
Crown Princes army in the Wovre,
which the German press announced
was the commencement of a general
move forward, have ceased, and what
fighting is going on along the western
front consists of artillery engage
ments and few isolated attacks and
counterattacks by infantry, which
make little or no difference in the
opposing forces.
The British, according to the
French report. have repulsed a Ger
man attack The German reports,
however, refer to it as a British at
tack. and Berlin says it was repulsed
with considerable loss. In fact. the
French and German reports are gen
orally contradictory in respect to
what lighting has taken place, but
from the trend of them ii is evident
that neither side has attempted any
thing of a serious natures land 1t is be-
lleved here that it may be weeks yet
before they do,
So far as the Germans are concern
ed, military Observers assert that
they are bound to carry out their
offensive against the Russians until
there is some decisive engagement,
such as the capture OF the Lublin-
Cholm Railway. which, it is asserted
would have been in their hands be-
fore now if the Austrians advancing
toward the former city had not been
driven back.
Reports from neutral sources are
to the effect that to make good their
efforts against the Russians the Ger
mans are moving troops which are
intended for the western front to the
east To a certain extent this seems
confirmed by the statement in the
Russian official report that reinforce
ments have reached Archduke Ferdin
and and that General Won Mackensen
also commenced an offensive which,
however broke down under the Rus
sian fire.

TROY y M. c. A. BOYS DEFEATED
Game at Playgroundo Resulted in
Clean Victory for Locals, 10 to

Clean Victory for Locals, ~ 10 D
The game of baseball played Satur-
day afternoon at the Fairgrounds be-
tween the Troy Y NJ. c. A. boys from
Camp lllium and team of local play
ers composed of the Y. NJ. G. a. boys
and playground players resulted in Il
decisive victory for the latter. The
game was clean one throughout
and was marked by some sensational
hitting and fielding for both sides.
Hurley, former high school pitcher,
was in the box for Bennington and
he proved that he had lost none of
his old time force for out of all the
batters that faced him fourteen were
made to fan the air. He was given
big league support by all the rest of
the team in all but one inning.
Troy was forced to use two pitch
ers, neither one of which proved any
kind of a problem to the local boys
Timely hitting and fast work on the
bases proved TO be too much for the
Troy team and it was forced to con
tent itself with the small end of the
score. This is the first game Ben
nington has won from Troy in the
last three years they have played
here
A large crowd witnessed the game
and helped cheer the local boys to vic
tory Next Saturday Bennington
plays Troy at Camp lllium, which will
be the second game of the series to
be played between the two teams.

A GOOD SHOW
The La Tena's Animal Circus Was
No Disappointment.

La Tena's Animal circus showed to
two good audiences on Tuesday, and
the whole story is really told in say
ing they pleased and satisfied audi
ences. The parade at 1880 was suf-
iicient promise of the Iulflment of
tbeiE bill to draw the crowds.
What they had in the way of stand
ard circus-nymg trapeze, horizontal
bar. contortion and riding-was high
class, and they had an aggregation
of clowns that were awfully funny
in their team work. But La Tena
will be remembered longest in Leba-
non for the trained animals, which
were predominating feature. Re
markable intelligence was shown by
elephants, bears, lions, dogs and
ponies, but the most wonderful as
well as the most novel feature was
the trained seals.
1t was altogether clean show,
which some were glad to see twice
