GOAL FOR LEMBERG
CAMPAIGN ATTAINED
Reason for Relative subsistence Of
Activity OF Teutonic Allies Along
Russo Galicia Front.

Austrian Army Headquarters in
Galicia- Sunday, July IL, Via. London,
July IL, 1885 a. m.-The relative sub
science of activity on the part of the
Teutonic allies during last week may
be explained by the fact that the goal
set for the Lemberg campaign already
has been attained. Tins WIS the recap
tLre of the city and the securing Of
strong defensive positions to the east
ward and northward. These positions
have now been secured along the line
CT the Zlota Lipa and Bug rivers and
the ridge to the northward of Kras-
mix.
The Russians attempted a counter
offensive from Lublin against the
Austro German positions north of
,krasnil1, Infringing up heavy reinforce
irnents for this purpose. Owing to this
fn10vefn9nt the Austrian troops, which
had rushed beyond the positions
originally selected, Withdrew to the
ridge, where they have been success
rully resisting all Russian attacks.
They feel secure in tnei- present posi-
lions and it is believed here that they
can be easily held against whatever
forces Russia can throw against them.
indications now point to a period of
quiet along the Russo Galician front,
while the Teutonic allies are prepar-
ing for operations in other quarters.

High School Sub-Master Dis

For Local Business College-Be-
ieves He Had Perfect Right to Do
So, He Tells the Herald.

"a Members of the board of educa-
ton were considering today calling a
special meeting to discuss the case of
/. j. e. Moody, sub-master at the High
school. who has been soliciting bus
mess for the Hardware City Business
college of which Frank H. Shields is
principal number of the members
beheved, Mr.. Moody guilty of an in
discretion in engaging in this task.
II is said that Edward N. Smith,
proprietor Of the Smith Business col
lege, learned recently of Mr.. Moodys
activity in behalf of the other bust
ness school and protested TO Mr..
Moody himself, stating that he did
not believe 1T fair for a man in ais
position to undertake such contract.
Mr.. Smith is said to have received an
unsatisfactory answer from the sub
master
The attention of members Of the
board of education was called to the
situation and while all could not be
reached today those who were inter
viewed believed 1t would be for the
best interests of all concernd If Mr..
Moody stepped out Of the field in
which he was active. n

One member of the board, who de-
lclined to permit the use of his name
In print, made the following stat
ment: II and several other members
Of the board are willing to sign a call
for special meeting. Mr.. Moody is
engaged by the city by the year and
l do not believe it fair for him to de-
vote his time to a private business
of this nature during the summer. 1t
would be possible for him to use un-
due Influence on young people he
knows as they would have great
faith in him and would attend what
ever school he recommended. 1t is
unfair to Mr.. Smith to have Mr.
Moody carrying on this work and we
will have special meeting OF the
board to consider the situation IL <;le
doesn't stop IT."
Justifics His Employment.
Mr.. Moody, in talk with a Herald
reporter today, expressed the opinion
that he was justified in soliciting bus
mess for Mr.. Shields.
MY contract with the board of ed
ucation for the year 1914-15 expired
in June" he said. MY new contract
does not go into effect until Septem-
Der If wish to go to the shore for
the summer it's none Of the city's
business as far as ], can see. If i
wish to play golf ali summer am at
liberty to do So If / wish to go to
Philadelphia for the summer and
work for any business college there
can do so. Therefore. cannot see
why j should not be permitted to do
the same thing right here in New
Britain
Later in the day Mr.. Moody stated
that he has decided to abandon his
work of soliciting business for Mr..
Shields and to sever his connection
with the latter's school. Mr. Moody
had a conference today on the mat
ter. with President B. F. Gaffney OF
the board of education.

Probing Alleged Conspiracy.

New York, July 12-An irvestiga-
tion of the alleged conspiracy to place
bombs on board steamships leaving
here with war munitions for the allies
was in progress today. A conference
of police officials, agents of the fed
eral government and private detec-
tives employed by the steamship COM
panies was called to consider means
Of cooperation to prevent the placing
OF any more bombs on board steam
ships In New York harbor. A spe-
cial bomb squad OF detectives was as
signed to work around the river front
and all piers where war munitions
were being loaded on board steamers
were closely guarded. In the belief
that most of the bombs are placed in
the cargo while it is being trans
ferred to steamships by lighters,
steps were taken to guard the cargoes
while Ia the hands Of the lighterage

Two British Vessels Told by Navy
Department Officials
TO WATCH OUT FOR MISSILES
Writer Of Letter, Signed ''Pearce'',
Z Indicating Incident Declares He In
tends to Kill J. p. Morgan and
British Ambassador.

Washington, July 12.-Navy de-
partment off1cials today awaited re-
sponses from the British steamships
Howth Head and Baron Napier, la
den with mules for the British army
and now off the South Atlantic coast,
to a radiogram warning to watch out
tor bombs in their holds. Both ves-
sells sailed from New Orleans July g,
the Howtt Head for Dublin and Bel
fast via Norfolk and the Baron Napi-
er, direct for Avonmouth.
The warning was flashed out broad
cast over the sea from the Arlington
wireless station last night following
the receipt by Secretary Daniels Of
a telegram from a New Orleans news,
paper stating that letter to that pa
per from a person who signed himself
as "Pearce'' indicated that explosive
had been placed aboard the two yes
sells. "
TO Complete Nfuentcr Work.
The writer of the letter also de-
clared his intention OF killing J. r.
Morgan and Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the
British ambassador and complete the
work Of Eric Muenter who commit
ted suicide recently after wounding
Mr.. Morgan and with whom he says
he had formed a partnership In an
effort to keep the United States. out
OF the European war. The letter also
warned persons who had friends or
relatives aboard the Howth Head and
Baron Napier to watch for reports
from those vessels.
The Howth Head is not equipped
with wireless but ought to reach Nor
folk by tomorrow at the latest, when
she likely will make response. Even
If the radiogram message was not
picked up directly by the Baron Ma
pier some other nearby vessel might
have relayed it. 1t was believed here
that responses may be caught up to-
day by some of the South Atlantic
coast wireless stations. s5

The spirit Of cooperation is spreading rapidly and
from express of satisfaction heard the streets in
Ontario last urday, it is becoming1even popular
with the buyin public, than with the merchants.
The jitney bus to start next week, has been made
