the need Of such work a. that of the
first Samson-to STAY.
He must reappear before his kins-
men as much as possible the boy who
had left them-not the fcp with new
tangled affectations. His eyes fell
upon the saddlebags upon the floor Of
the Pullman and he smiled satirically.
He would like to step from the train
at Hixon and walk brasenly through
the town in those old clothes, chal-
longing every hostile glance. If they
shot him down on the streets, as they
certainly would do, it would end his
questioning and his anguish of dilem-
ma. He would welcome that, but Il
would. after all. be sinking the issue.
He must get out Of Hixon and into
his own country unrecognized. The
lean boy Of four years ago was the
somewhat fllled-out man now. . The one
concession that he had made to Paris
life was the wearing Of q closely
cropped mustache. That he still wore
had worn 1t chiefly because he liked
to hear Adrienne's humorous denuncia-
ton Of it. He knew that. in his pre-.

AMERICAN PACKERS
MAKE NEW PROTEST
Ask That State Department Make
Representations to Great Britain
To Stop Interference.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Repre-
sentatives of American packers today
renewed their protests to the state de-
partment against British Interference
with their trade with neutral Euro.
pean countries. They asked that
representations be made in the forth
coming rejoinder to recent British
notes on neutral rights which would
establish and maintain their right to
engage in this business.
Arthur Mceker, of the Armour
company. and Henry Needer OF
Swift & CO., presented the protest to
Chandler Anderson. special COUNSEL
lor at the department, calling atten-
tion again to the five ships loaded
with American meat products en-
route to neutral couptries, but held
for English prize court action. They
declared the packers European trade
had been paralyzed by the British in
terferencc and that added injury had
been done by suspension of cable or
ders. destroying their trade with Hol-
land. Their shipments were made TO
their regular European agents for dis
tribution, they declared. and 1t was
impossible to comply with the British
requirement that specific. consignees
be named for each order.
The protest will be considered IN
the preparation of the American reply
to the British notes.

A. with the exception of the great
entreuched camp of Noyogeorgieysk
the Russians have evacuated the
whole line of the Vstula river I1au-
gorod, the southern fortress, having
fallen into the hands of the Austro-
German army the Russians now are
making their way eastward to tho
Brest- t-Lltoysk line.
The decision of the general staff TO
leave the garrison In Novogeorgicysl
is announced In Pcrograd dispatches.
The object is to deprive the Germans
of the use of railway communications
and Of the Nistula river for bringing
up supplies for their armies.
Novogeorgievsk Is situated at the
junction Of the Nistula, Narcw and
Wkra rivers to the northwest Of War

heads, eight citadels and seventy-folr
redoubts containing eleven and
twelve-inch batteries It is calculated
by military observers here that an
army corps can hold out there for
many months as the camp is pro-
tected by massive earthworks which

The laying of siege to Noyo-
geOrgieysk may prove one of the most
interesting operations Of the war, as
it doubtless will show whether earth
works are less susceptible TO the fire
of high explosives than are cupola
forts.
OF the returning Russian armies the
official reports say nothing The
Russians, however destroyed bridges
over the Nistula and took other means
to place obstacles IN the path of their
pursuers while others of their forces
continue to offer stubborn resistance
to the Germans and Austrians south
and north who are trying oto forge a
ring around them.
