Invaders Claim They Have
Captured Forts Around

ITALY PROGRESSING.
Turks Said to Have Lost One Hun
dred Thousand Men During The
Past Forty Eight Hours.

London, June Pin the face of
Russian claims on Monday that the
Austro-German grip on Peremysl
had been broken and that the often.
sive in the great Galician struggle
had passed to the Russians, both Ger
man and Austrian official statements
assert that the Austro-German troops
have been successful to the north and
the southeast of the fortress, that
the forts girding it to the north have
fallen into their hands, while to the
southeast they have wrested Stry
from the Russians.
In fact, the Austro-Germans say
that the campaign is running in their
favor everywhere in the eastern zone.
from Libau, in the north, to the
southernmost tip of the Galician bat
tle-line.
1t is apparent that the Russians,
since being forced back to the San
have been rushing up heavy rein
forcements in the hope of averting
the fall of Peremysl. But the Aus
tro-G Germans, undeterred by the stu.
pendous losses, have as yet shown
little disposition to accept purely
defensive role, and the British critics
seem to have been bit premature in
saying that the German thrust ha,!
definitely failed.
Rome, June 2-The Italipn feet

station on the Island of LISA, off the
Dalmatian coast and the semaphore

an batteries posted on the heights OF
Monte Altissimo have wrecked the

have damaged the railway station.
Athens, June 2-The Turks have
suffered terrible losses in night at

past fortyeieht hours. Mytilene dis
patches today said the heavy Turk
ish casualties in the recent fighting
make it appear probable that Their
losses since the Dardanelles fighting
began will total close to 100000.
Differed by Germans, the Turks
are hurting themselves against the
allied positions near Gaba Tepe IN
close formation. From their war,
ships the allies have brought ashore
nowerful searchlights, which have
boen posted on the cliffs. At a sig
nal from the outposts the advancing
enemy columns are swept with 4

The Turks have been heavily re-
enforced in the past few days. pu'

retain all their positions.

FIGHTING AT PRZEMYSL
NapoIeOn's Battles ChiId's Play
Compared to Modern Clash

NapoIeon's Battles ChiId's Play
Compared to Modern Clash
Petrograd, June 2-It is hard to
emagine anything more tremendous
than the battle now raging around
Przemysl. The neat compact and pic
turesque battles of Napoleon were
child's play compared with this latest
effort of modern warfare, in which
details of personal valor, skillful
moves and counter moves are sub
merged in the binding and deafen.
ing clash of vast hosts.
Between Jaroslaw and Przemysl
Gen. Mackensen has concentrated on
the right bank of the San 100000
men, with a corresponding quantity
of artillery. The quiet fields on which
the peasants were peacefully plowing
six weeks ago are now deluged by
a storm of explosives such as has
never before been known in all his
tory.
The hopeful feature in this car
mage on the San is that the Russians
are delaying the German advance,
and, more than that, in counter at
tacks are taking thousands of pri-
soners.
Time. which is all-impdrtant to
the Germans, is slipping out of their
hands. Gen. Mackensen's aim is to
reach the Przemysl-Lvoff Railway,
and. meeting the force which has
been struggling to break through the
Russian lines southeast OF PrzemysI
to surround the fortress.
But the southern forces, after q
long series of unavailing attacks, Is
now passive, and the communications
to Przemysl are still safe.

FLOOD ON GERMAN REPLY
Virginia Representative Does Not
Take Gloomy View of the
Situa tiOn.

Washington, D. c., June 3
Congressman H. D. Flood, of Vir.
ginia, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, and q
close student of international rela-
tions, does not agree with the gloomy
view taken by most public men of
the present situation between the
United States and Germany.
He declares his confidence in
President Wilson's judgment of what
is best to do and say in the present
crisis, and expressed his firm belief
that he will be able to handle the
situation in such a way as to smooth
over the troubled waters and at the
same time obtain Germany's agree
ment to every demand made by the
United States in President Wilson s
first note.
''I do not believe the situation 10 a.
gloomy as the majority o.; people
consider it." said Mr.. Flood. Ger
many is cut off from all communica.
tion from this country, and the Ber-
lin foreign office, when preparing its
reply to President Wilson's note
could not appreciate the feeling Of
the people here and the serious at
titude of our government.

ROYAL ARCANUM UPHELD.
Can Increase Assessments, Supreme
Court Rules.

Washington, June 2.-The Supreme
| Court handed down yesterday num-
ber of decisions.
In the case of the Royal Arcanum
versus Samuel Green. of Brooklyn, a
case involving the right of the order
! to increase the assessment OF a
member after he has been elected,
the decision of the lower court was
reversed, the finding being that such
assessments could be increased.
All the 10000 certificate holders IN
the former Safety Fund Department
of the Hartford Life Insurance Com
pany, conducted on the mutual as
sessment plan,' were held to have
been bound by the decision Of the
Connecticut courts in 1910, that the
company, after closing its list OF
members, could continue to- collect
assessments to meet liabilities.
The decision was announced in a
suit brought by Mrs. Eliza lbs, IN
Minnesota, on a policy held by her
husband. He had refused to pay the
assessments after new members were
no longer accepted.
Constitutionality of the Mississippi
Anti Fraternity law was upheld with
out dissent. ]. P Waugh, q member
of Kappa Sigma Fraternity at Mill
saps College, Miss, in 1912 applied
for admission to the Law School of
the University Of Mississippi, but
was denied admittance because he
refused to sign an "anti-fraternlty
pledge" not to aid the organization o.
perpetuation of any fraterity while
a member of the university. He filed
suit to compel the university au-
thorities to admit him, contending
that the Anti-Fraternity law enact
ed by the State of Mississippi il
1912 was unconstitutional.
The law was attacked on the
ground that it worked determinations
as to honors, diplomas and distinc-
tions as between students in the uni
versity at the time the law was pas
sed and those fraternity members
who later became students at the un-
iversity.
Use of initials in business affairs.
even in bankruptcy proceedings, in
stead of full names. was approved
by the Supreme Court that it was moi
satisfactory compliance with the
bankruptcy law for George F. Kreit
lin, of indianapolis, to register a.
one of his creditors &c. Ferger"
rather than "Charles Ferger."
The court also held it was not nee.
essary or a bankrupt to give street
addresses of creditors, even in large
cities.
Prosecution for conspiracy to con-
ceal goods of bankrupt may be
brought within three years after the
offense, the Supreme Court decided
in the case of William Rabinowich, Of
New York. The New York District
Courts holding that prosecutions
were barred after one year was re-
versed.
In the first decision under the
1910 amendment to the Federal En-
ployers' Liability law the Supreme
Court held that an administrator is
permitted to recover both for pecu-
mary loss to an employers estate and
for the pain and suffgering by the
deceased.

The Model Continues.

In the last issue of The Herald Mr..

genuine regret that we see Mr..

Grant County Herald has changed
hands. This bit of news was convey
ed to Us the fore part of the week in
the form of life sized surprise
package, as we had not the slightest
InkIiug of such an occurrence. A.
L. Sherman, of Chicago, is the new
editor and has taken charge. B. j.
LOwrey, who has managed The Her
aid for the past seven and one half
years has built up an enviable bust
ness and has brought The Herald up
TO nigh standard. 1t was on the
Herald that the editor of this paper
learned his trade, from "devil" up,
ana we therefore feel deep solicitude
FOR that grand old sheet. A more
COngenial .on-the square, business man
than 8. j. Lowrey never lived, and
the years we spent in his employ will
always be reverted to with pleasure.
Our sincere good wishes go with him
wherever ne may locate. And brother
Sherman here's the glad hand

Some impressions gained in a re-
cent visit made through northern
Iowa, may be of interest to some of
our readers who are watching the
growth of educational ideas, and
methods, in the country. The town
ship schools of Clay county, Iowa,
present educational development
that will serve wonderfully in giving
the children from the country the
better education, and social ad-
vantages, that as rule are only en-
joyed by the pupils in the town
schools. Instead of having the little
old district school, located in an
isolated place, with teacher presid-
ing over three, four or a dozen pupils,
taking all grades, and classes in one
room, children are gathered by com
Portable buses, and carried to a
splendidly appointed and constructed
modern school building, where they
are divided according to their age and
grade, and instructed by a teacher
who is responsible for her individual
group. The schools carry frequently
as high as twelve grades, with a
principal and a full roster of teach
ers, and it is interesting to note that
older boys and girls, who in former
years under the old system would
have abandoned the school at an
early age, are there receiving an
education that will fit them better
for later years of maturity. 1t is
said that the higher classes are show
ing a gratifying attendance. The tax
payers themselves are enthusiastic
over the township school idea, and
this last may be considered as the
final test that they are success, for
when you see elderly men and women
discussing with pride some of the
new school buildings, and the ex-
tension of others, one may we'll be-
lieve that the township school is a
good thing and has come to stay.
The idea of community interest is
such big thing, and the uses in the
way of evening entertainment and
gathering for the grownups are so
many, that instructors and school
boards the country over are keenly
interested in the subject.

to raise the pail hanging over bust
