LONDON, July 31.-English soldiers
in the Dardanelles have uncovereu
some ancient Greek relics of great
interest in the course of their trench
digging. A soldier. who was connect
ed with the British museum before
the war, described his excavation in
a letter just received here: :.
1--WE are fighting
cemetery of great antiquity, and In
digging our latest line of trenches we
found stone sarco6hagi which are GER
tainly more than 1000 years old
probably nearer $500 years. The
walls are thick and the collins very
big. They are filled with fine earth
which has slowly intruded through the
cracks OF the lid. With great care
we sift out from this the skeletons.
more or less preserved. and in the
bottom we find vases, bowls, lamps
and sometimes statues. The potter
les, decorated with the faces of men
and women, are Of exquisite form.
II have before me now delicate
cup which the slightest shock would
break 1t symboMzes that particu-
lar and characteristic beauty of form
which Greece revealed to us. Its
long handles, ethereal in their delic-
acy, give to this little thing the pal
pitations of wings.

Homer by the next mail. 1t will be
interesting to read the Illiad with

Actress Forced to
Appear Barelegged
Rude William Goat Makes Meal
J OFF Tights, Silk Stock
ings and Shoes.

CINCINNATI, July 31.-Charging
that trained goat belonging to Shtr-
ley Alyarado had destroyed one pair
of silk tights which had adorned her
sfapely limbs, and for dessert had
chewed up a pair of silk stockings
and real lace shoe. Miss Marie
Chapron, actress at an amusement re-
sort, has brought suit in the munich
pal court against Alvarado. She asks
$500 damages, charging that she suf-
fered great mental pain and anguish"
as result of the goats actions.
1t seems, according to the petition,
that Billy entered the dressing room,
while Miss Chapron was regaling the
audience and his appetite became
whetted at the sight Of the wardrobe.
The plaintiff charges that she drove
OF the goat. but was panied and NOR
titled to find that practically all the
wardrobe had been ruined through the
vicious and felonious attack OF Billy.
Being bound by her contract with
the management to give creditable
performance. and not having time to
secure a substitute for the devoured
articles. the plaintiff was forced, tn
her great embarrassment and humtl-
iation, to complete her act without
the aforesaid pink silk tights, with
her limbs bare. causing her great
mental pain and anguish
The case has been set for August
9. Each individual judge has asked
to try it. City Sheriff George Tibbles
said he probably would call the en-
tire court to sit in the case.

He was doing this when the bees
began TO sting. He bore the pain
quietly, fearing to bring the whole
swarm upon him, and slipped out Of

that doctors worked over him all
night before he gained any relief. In
spite of his experience, he will con-

MARINETTE. Wis. July S1-Eighty
acres of land cleared and cultivated
for a year without horse setting
foot on the place.
That is the record made by w. c.

land in the spring OF 1914.
Wyckoff says this is the age of pow

Enemy but Does Not Look for q
Speedy Termination of the
Great Struggle.


PETROGRAD, July 31.-From a
person who. although not connected
officially with the war department, is
in close touch with the government
officials and is well acquainted with
the military situation and the Rus
sian state OF feeling. the Associated
Press has obtained the following re.
view of the first year of the war:
The end of the first year of the
fwar finds Russia's potential fighting
ability undiminished Her armies
are intact. her resources virtually
untouched; and the determination of
have only been deepened with the
growing realization of the enemy's
strength.
Mobilizing Vast Resources.
This determination is expressed
most forcfbly in the mobilization of
vast Industrial resources for the pro-
duction of war munitions. These eff
forts are rapidly lessening the dis
parity~of the combatants in guns and
ammunition. Russia does not look
for speedy termination of the strug-
gle, but feels confident of her power
to exhaust the enemy.
THE campaign on the eastern
front must be viewed in relation to
the enormous extent of territory over
which battles have been waged. from
the Baltic to Bukowina. The far
flung advances and retreats here
bave had no more significance re1a-
lively than gains and losses of thou
sand yards on the western front. To
interpret Russia's temporary loss of
territory as German success is to ig-
more Russia's role to engage as great
a part Of the enemy's forces as pos
sible. to relieve pressure on her al
lies. Russia's refusal to accept bat
tie in disadvantageous conditions,
even though she must temporarily
abandon territory. has kept her ar.
mics and defensive lines unbroken.
Germans Lose Heavily.
1T Is the assertion or Russian au-
thorities that every German advance
has cost Germany more men. both
relatively and actually. than it cost
Russia. They regard Germany as
now committed definitely to a cam
paign which is carrying the German
armies farther and farther from

OLD SAFE FOUND TO
CONTAIN LARGE SUN
Bio Amount Discoyeredin Iron
Box in Postoffice at

DAVENPORT. Ia. July S1.-After
lying hidden for forty-cwo years In
a secret compartment of the vault in
the federal building here, an envelope
yellow with age and containing $40
in currency and checks amounting to
So, 900 was found by John H. Ohde,
night mail distributor.
The safe in which the envelope lay
was purchased by the United States
government in Peoria, ILL.,, and ship
ped here forty-two years ago, remain
ing in the local federal building since
that time. Ohde made the discovery
in an accidental manner. He was
cleaning out the vault when in some
manner pressed the spring which re-
leased the secret drawer.
The local postal authorities believe
the money belongs TO some private in
dividual who at one time lived in
Peoria, probably the party from whom
the safe was purchased by the govern
ment. The safe has been through
two fires and has been moved sever
al times. The checks were dated 1873

MARRIED TEACHER
Reinstated by Court, Finding
Being That Contract is
Illegal.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 31.-The
Portland school board has been or
dered by Judge Morrow in the state
circuit court to reinstate Mrs. Maud
l.. Richards, teacher in the girls
trade school. She was discharged last
January because she had been mar
ried in violation of contract agree
ment required of all women teachers
in the Portland schools that they will
not marry during the life of the con-
tract.
"under the Oregon law school
teacher can only be dismissed from
the Portland schools for cause" said
Judge Morrow in rendering his decis-
ion.
Marriage on the part of a teach
er is not good cause for dismissal.
Any contract required of teacher
which Is in conflict with the law is
void. in this case the school board
required of Mrs. Richards an illegal
contract agreement. and its violation
by her did not justify her dismissal"

OF Power to Exhaust

their bases; and to abandon this cam
paign would be disastrous defeat
for her. Moreover, 1t is maintained
that not even the territorial ambi-
lions of Germany have been realized,
since the German detectives on TINS
front have not been fully attained.
The advance of the Austrtans IN
to southern Russia in the early stages
of the war met with full defeat. 1t
was followed by Austria.s loss of Ga
licia. General Ivanoff. at the head OF
the southern Russian armies, car
ried on one of the most brilliant
offensive campaigns of the war. The
present stage may possibly be re-
garded as an uncompleted repetition
of this earlier movement.
Warsaw Drives Deadly.
Furthermore. the repeated Ger
man drives at Warsaw from the ives,
have cost the enemy tremendous
losses. 1t was only after six weeks
OF the most intense fighting in the
Bzura region due west of Warsaw
st winter that the Germans recog-
nized the futility of attempting To
break the Russian front by direc'
frontal movements.
ION the other hand, by exactfng a
heavy toll of lives in rear guard &C
tions during the carefully ordered re-
treats and by keeping her own army
intact, Russia successfully performed
her appointed task.
Drawing Men from Front.
The East Prussian aggressive
which manifested itself periodically,
and latterly the Baltic campaign new
er have been regarded otherwise than
as diversions. A parallel to these
movements is found In the Bukowina
operations. in their relation to the
general Galician campaign. Their
chief Importance has been to draw
men from other fronts. where more
serious fighting has been in progress.
While 1t is understood the fate
of the Turkish provinces on the
Caucasian front will be determined
by the general course of war, this
should not. minimize the genuine
military successes Russia has achiev-
ed in that distant field. Russia did
not desire to expend her strength in
Asiatic Turkey, but when opposed by
the threatening Turkish advance in
December she exerted her power.
