London. Aug. 2S.-The following of
ficial communication was issued to
night by the French War Office:
ARTILLERY actions took place on the
whole OF the front today They were
especially violent in the sector to the
north of Arras, between the Som1 e
and the Oise, in Champagne, in the
Argonne fores and in the forest OF

"a German aeroplane has dropped
four bombs on Vesoul. A woman
and a child were slightly wounded.
The damage done was unimportant" +"
The Germans claim the recapture
of the trench sections in the Vosges
near Sondernach, that weEe taken
by the French last week.
Allies Progress Slow.
An Official British report issued
tonight, regarding recent operations
in the Gallipoli peninsula states that
while the ground gained is of great
value the true obiectives have not
been reached.
In the first attacks early in the
month, the Australians and New Zea,
landers reached the submits of Sari
Bahr and lChanak Bahr, commanding
positions on the west coast of the
peninsula, but through the failure of
the new landing party at ISuvla Bay
to make the progress expected the
troops from the Dominions were COM
PEELED to fall back Another attack
was made last Saturday, but on this
occasion, having last the advantage
of surprise, the British could nc.
reach the summit and were compell-
ed to retire again.
The report admits heavy British
losses, but adds that those Of the
Turks must have been heavier.
The Turks are making very stub
born defense. but the allies have
confidence that the Dardanelles will,
be forced before the end of Septem,

TeutOnS Take Russian Fortress.

London.-The minor fortress of
Lutsk, which, with those of Dubno
and Kovno, forms a fortified triangle
on Russian territory just north of the
Galician frontier, was captured by the
Austrians Thursday, according to the
official report from Vienna. 1t is in
this direction that the Austro-German
offensive has been the most aggres-
sive during the past few days, the OBJ
ject being to separate the Russian
army which has been retreating
through the Pripet marshes from that
operating in Galicia. The latter forces
inflicted, so the Russians claim, a
rather severe defeat on the invaders.
The capture of Lutsk, however, is
likely to compel the Russians, despite
their victory, to evacuate that part of
Galicia still held by them; otherwise
their flank there would be seriously
threatened.
Along the rest of the front, except
in the center, where the Austro-Ger-
mans continue to make a slow ad-
vance, the Russians appear to be hold
ing their own. They have thus far
prevented the Germans from crossing
the Dvina at Friedrichstadt, where a
battle has been in progress for sew
eral days; they have arrested the Ger
man offensive between that point and
the gulf of Riga, and are still holding
their ground between Kovno and Wilma
and before Grodno, although the Ger
mans have approached the outer posi-
ton of Grodpo fortress.

MEXICAN UPRISING IN TEXAS IS
FRUSTRATED BY ARREST OF 26

San Antonio, Tex. With the arrest
here Of 26 Mexicans, % Of whom were
detained. Chief Of Police Lancaster
and Federal authorities announced that
a plan to incite the Mexican popula-
tion Of San Antonio to deeds Of vio-
lence had been frustrated.
The prisoners, according to Chief Of
Police Lancaster, are followers Of the
so-called plan Of San Diego, the ex-
travagant manifesto promulgated by a
party Of Mexican agitators which pro-
claims the Republic of Texas" to be
governed by Mexicans. Recent upris-
ing in the Lower Rio Grande valley
caused the program for the establish
ment Of the new government to go
amiss and at the same time Federal
officials were put on their guard.
Three Of the leaders were arrested
while addressing crowd Of 1000 Mex
leans on the market plaza. The ad-

poorer classes of Mexicans to deeds Of
violence.
"One speaker" Chief Lancaster
said, latter abusing the President of
the United States, the government Of
this country and the white race gen
orally, openly declared: 1t is no harm
to kill Gringo and an Allemane.
(Meaning Americans and Germans J"
1t was right at this point the police
charged the crowd and arrested the
leaders, but not without fight. AS
the officers were withdrawing, one of
the Mexicans shouted: "Now is the
time to rise. Let US kill the Grin
goes"
The arrival of the police for the
time being quieted all martial spirit.
Following the arrest of the leaders,
23 others were arrested. They will be
placed in the custody of Federal off,
cials, who said that charges of treason
probably would be filed against them.

piles of Submarine Warfare
As Desired by u. S.

Washington, D. C.-Strained rela

Germany over submarine warfare ap.

| been given by the ambassador last
week. But 1t Was not until Count Won
Bernstorff, after call at the state
| department, returned to the embassy
and sent a letter to Mr.. Lansing quot
ing instructions from Berlin concern
ing an answer to be made to the last
American note on the sinking of the
Lusitania that officials frankly admit
ted their qualification over the chang
ed position of the imperial govern
ment.
Secretary Lansing said in a formal
statement that the letter appears to
be a recognition of the fundamental
principle for which we have contend
ed" He Immediately sent the COM
munication to the white house, and
discussed it in a cheerful vein.
Everywhere in administration cir
cles there was a visible relaxation of
the tension which had existed ever
since the Lusitania tragedy, though
lessened by the earlier assurances of
Count Won Bernstorff and advices
from Ambassador Gerard as to the at
titude of officials in Berlin.
The next step, it is said authorita-
lively, will be formal communica-
ton from the German government dis
avowing the destruction of the Arabic
and rendering regret and reparation
for American lives lost in the disaster
if the attack was made by a German
submarine.
Even if the submarine which tor
pedoed the liner subsequently was
sunk by British man-of-war, as has
been suggested both from Berlin and
London, the Berlin foreign office is
expected to send its disavowal as soon
as reasonable time has passed with
out a report from it's commander.
Once the situation growing out of
the Arabic incident has been disposed
of, the response to the long-unanswer-
ed American note on the Lusitania
will be dispatched, and if Germany's
explanations and proposals in this
case are accepted by the United
States, both officials and diplomats
here expect the way to be cleared for
a complete understanding between the
two governments on the subject of
freedom of the seas.

Study Course Changed.

Salem-Superintendent of Public In
struction Churchill has announced {
new course of study for high schools
MIR. Churchill said that in country high
schools it often was necessary fo,
teachers to give instruction in subjects
for which they had made no special
preparation, and for them a definite
outline of the work is of much value
Much freedom of the choice of sub.
jects is given in the larger high
schools, 30 students may not be re
qaired to take subjects in which they
are little interested, and for which
they have no particular aptitude.
The minimum requirement for grad
uation is Is units of high school work
with recitation periods of 40 minutes
in length, but pupils are urged to COM
plete the course by taking four sub
jects each year for four years, thereby
earning 16 units.
The course of study permits pupils
to earn from one to three units for
graduation in either vocal or instru-
mental music taken outside of the
school, provided the work is given by
competent teacher and the pupil
spends at least 80 minutes daily in
practice or instruction.
There is also a new course required
to be given in all high schools, upon
the completion of which a student will
be permitted to enter teachers ex-
animation.
This course is made necessary on
account of law which became opera
tive on September l, requiring all per-
sons who have not had at least six
months of successful teaching exper-
ience to complete an elementary teach
ers' training course before they are
permitted to enter an examination for
a teachers certificate. The elemen-
tary teachers training course is in ad
dition to the teachers training course
which has heretofore been given in
many of the larger high schools.
