NOTE NOW UP TO KAISER
Emperor Has Draft of Reply To u
!: S. And May Present It July .

Berlin, Via London, july 2-A& the
,esult of this weeks; conferences on
drafts of the German reply to the
American note it is now in the hands
of Emperor William at army heat
quarters. The Emperor's decision Is
exnected in time for the note to be
presented to James W. Gerard the
American Ambassador, probably oil
July 5 or 6.
HIGH officials are endeavorIng To
bring about a friendly settlement oil
the question with America, and there
is every reason to believe that theS
,re anxious to make the proposals
as conciliant and acceptable as pos
sible. These officials, however, have
to reckon with the. force OF strong
nnhl;c oninion. which undoubtedly
will oppose anything saroring o.
complete acquiescence in the Amer
ican. proposals.
This public opinion is being skill
fullv exploited by those who are 'op-
nosed to all concessions. Friends o'
settlement are working under these
circumstances with considerable diff
.ultv. and the note probably will re-
present compromise not in accor-
dance with their desire.

SUFFER GREAT LOSS
Anglo-French Dead Number Ten
Thousand-Turk Casualties Placed
at Much Larger Figure.

Athens, Jul 2.-The allies opened
q fierce assault upon the Turkish po-
sitions before Krithia Wednesday
morning.
Eight warships, led by the super
dreadnought Queen Elizabeth, are
pounding the Turkish forts with the
greatest crash of metal since the at
tack upon Fort Kilid Bahr, more
than three months ago.
Well founded reports have reached
here that Krithia has fallen, but no
official confirmation has been re-
ceived. Mytilene dispatches today
reported the losses on both sides in
the last week of fighting at the
Dardanelles to be the heaviest Of
the Gallipoli campaign.
The allied expeditionary forces are
said to have lost at least 10000 in
killed, wounded and missing. The
Turkish casualties are believed to
have been much heavier.
All dispatches received here today
agreed that the struggle being waged
around Krithia is the greatest land
battle waged at the Dardanelles since
the expeditionary forces were put
ashore. General Hamilton has con-
centrated his armies north of Sedd-
Ul-Bahr and is sweeping the Turks
back along the peninsula by success
sive, short rushes.
Each charge is preceded by terrific
bombardment of the Turkish trenches
by Anglo-French battleships stand
ing inside the strait and along the
shore of the Gulf Of Saros. The
trench fighting is of the most des-
perate character. Turks and allied
troops gripped in hand-to-h hand
combat on the sands.

"cR1BBING" SCANDAL GROWS
Number of Defendants. Originally
Seven, Increased to Twenty-Slx.

Annapolis, Md, July 2.-Three
more midshipmen yesterday were
made defendants before the court OF
inquiry investigating the examina-
tions scandal at the Naval Academy
They are C. F. Holden and j. H
Keefe, of the present second class,
This increases the number of defend
ants, originally seven, to twenty
six.
Chaplin E. Evans, of the second
class, testified that Midshipman Moss
had given him sheet that afterward
appeared to be an examination
taken by his class. He thought it
was an old examination paper or some
kind of "dope Sheet" he said, and
did not regard it seriously.
Ralph Mex. Nelson, of the gradua-
ting class, testified that Moss had
allowed him to copy from a paper
which the witness thought was e
review sheet issued by the modern
languages department.
When the Spanish examination was
held this spring, Nelson continued,
members of the first class, upon
realizing that their advance informa-
tion was "good dope" were jubilant,
1t was considered joke, he said, to
"put something over" on the Spanish

SWISS FRONTIER CLOSED
No One Permitted To Enter Country
From Germany-Train And
Steamer Service Suspended

Geneva, Switzerland, July 2-The
Swiss people are wondering what is
happening on the other side of the
Rhine. No German trains are ar
irving at Constance, and the Swiss
railroad as a consequence, has been
obliged to suspend its international
service in this section.
The Germans have suspended the
steamer service on Lake Constance.
Swiss. as we'll as, other neutrals,
including Americans, have been un-
able to enter Switzerland, all being
stopped at the frontier.
1t is believed here that the Ger
mans are sending large reinforce
ments through Southern Germany
from the Russian to the French front
and for this reason have put the US
nal restrictions on travel
Paris, July 2-The German frontier
along the Swiss-Baden line has been
closed since Sunday. The Wurttem-
berg border was closed yesterday
Travellers who proceeded by boat
from Switzerland TO triedrichshafen
were reduced to the alternative of re-
turning Immediately or remaining in
Germany for several days, possibly
weeks.

FEWER BIRTHS IN FRANCE
Big Drop in the Rate Since the War
Began.

Paris. July 2-The decline in the
birth rate of France has been par
ticularly noticeable since the war be-.
gan. The rate in 1914 averaged d
thousand births daily. but at the be.
ginning of 1915 the figures dropped OF
$50 and there has been a rapid de-
cline. since then. In the week of
June 6 to June II, which was the
last week recorded, there were only
356 births in the entire country.
A tax on bachelors and the pro-
longing Of their military service
while decreasing that of the fathers
of families, and dininution in the
taxes on the heads of families are
among the measures being urged tc
help solve the question.

man air raids on the towns of Howe
and Hull, according to Il letter re-

press reports concerning the raids
have been heavily censored and the
loss Of life and property made in
significant in comparison with the
real loss.
Like reports have been received
here by persons having friends ard
relatives on the English coast. No
one will agree to any publicity in the
matter.

are fleeing inland, every inland bound

Phenomenal Progress in Re
mote Rural Districts
in Virginia
ENCOURAGING NEWS
Remarkable Advance in Buchanan
County-IlIiteracy Rate of Present
Year is Shown to be S.4.

Richmond, July -
progress in the remote rural oistrlcCs
IF Virginia has been little short OF
nhennomena. according to statistlcS
compiled by Professor ]. W. hV-
erett. editor of the Virginia Journa
of Education, the official journal o1
the Department of Public instructor
and the Virginia Cooperative Educa'
ton Association.
For the past two years the depart
ment has waged u persistent fight
against illiteracy in this State. En-
ploying effectively every means al
it's disposal, the men and women who
gave their time and talents to this
work have witnessed with eXaltatior
the splendid results obtained through
their efforts.
REPORTS now coming in from the
school census taken last spring give
further occas;-n for elation. Fo'
example in the County Of Isle OF
Wight in 1910 the illiteracy percent
age was Ill white and 37.2 coiored
In 1915 the percentages are respec-
lively. 2.5 mad 9.5.
In the city Of Portsmouth in 1910
the number of children between the
ages of ten and twenty who could moi
read and write was I'll. This year
it is ga
II the city of Danviile in 1910 the
number Of children unable to read and
write was 457, against 23S this year.
In Alexandria city there were 3"
children in 1910 unable to read and
write, while this year there are but
three.
Probably the most amazing figure:
showing improvement come from
Buchanan County. The report re-
ceived from this division, as given out
last night by Professor Everett.
reads in part as follows:
:. "Possibly no. county: in Virginia has
been in the eyes Of the public from
an educational. standpoint, so much
as Buchanan since the census OF
1910. That census showed that ;ouf
of every 100 above the age of ter
years, 34.3 were unable to read and
write. This was the highest rate of
illiteracy in the State, and the high:
est in the South-one county in Ken.
lucky excepted.
"The census of 1915 shows that
we have reduced the rate of illiteracy
more than 400 per- cent, having now
rate of only 81 per cent. If al
the counties in the State have re-
duced illiteracy accordingly. I. Vir'
ginia is now entitled to a place among
the foremost States of the Union.
"Should this county make the
same rate of progress during the
next five years, the census of 1926
will show a rate Of only . per cent
This can be done"
Superintendent R. c. Stearnes is
exceedingly gratified over the cen.
sus figures already at hand, and be
lieves that the excellent results thu:
far attained are but an earnest ot
still more encouraging advances tr
be made in the near future.
