PANY is ASKING AGAINST

which was libelled by the Strachan
Shipping company Thursday for fail
urc to perform its contract, is still
in port, pending developments in the
case The following in connection
with the filing of the suit in Savannah
will be of interest here:
''For alleged failure to carry out the

of $4,000 was filed in the United
States district court yesterday by
Strachan & Company against G. b.

then at London, to proceed to Tybee

BAUX!!E FOUND
SAYS NJ 'CALL|E
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY HAS
JUST BEEN MADE AT STONE
MOUNTAIN.

An important discovery of valua-
BILE deposit of bauxite was announced
Wednesday morning at the state CAPT
tol when the advisory board of the
state geological survey met in the gov
ernor's office.
Bauxite is used in the preparation
of aluminium and is very valuable
metal
Professor S. w. McCallie, state ge-
ologist, made the announcement and
said:
"The locality in which this new find
occurs Is at the base of Pine Noun
tain, Meriwether county, three miles
west of Warm Springs, on'W. Howard
Smiths property. The main outcrop-
ping of the ore occurs on a knoll in the
form of huge boulders, some of which
weigh several tons. The length of
this individual exposure is approx
mately 200 feet, while its width is only
about half as great. On other knobs
or spurs of the mountain in the imme-
diate vicinity, but lying farther to the
west, are to be seen more or less drift
ore which indicates an extension of
the ore in that direction"

THINKS PASSAGE
IS IMPOSSIBLE
CAPTAIN Won MUECkE BELIEVES
ALLIES WILL NEVER ENTER
DARDANELLES.

VIENNA (via wireless to London)
June IAN interview with Captain
Won Muecke, formerly of the German
cruiser Emden, in which he says the
forcing of the Dardanelles and the
taking of Constantinople are impos-
sible, is published by the newspapers
here. He declared submarines are
likely to cut off the water supply of
allied troops on the Galipolli penin-
sula.
Captain Won Muecke says the guns
of the British warShips have been
damaged by hard usage and that the
superdreadnought Queen Elizabeth
soon will be compelled to withdraw
on that account. He asserts the Turks
have plenty of ammunition and are
magnificent fighters. They lost heav-
lily at first under the fire of guns
from the fleet, but now have dug
themselves in and are using the best
means possible to destroy allied land
ing parties.
Captain Won Muecke apparently has
arrived at Viennaon his way to Ber-
lin, after having piloted the landing
party, which was under his commarM
when the Emden was sunk, from
whence it was not difficult for them
to reach Constantinople.

GOOD WORK.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Mon-
terey's bakeries re-opened Wednes-

contributions are coming in slowly.
"The poor peon women and chill
dren cannot be saved from starva-
tion unless the contributions eventu-
ally total large sum-" Miss Mabel
Boardman, actual head of the Red
Cross, sad today.
Possible interference by local Mexi-
can officials along the border with
plans Of Red Cross with plans to dis
tribute food supplies was responsible
for orders from war department to
delay the departure of three regi-
ments from the border to the Phil
ippines.
The American troops cannot cross
the border without instructions from
Washington, but in view of the pos
sibility of resistance by the Mexican
officials the war department intends
to have at hand means to enforce
any instructions that may be given
by President Wilson, The regiments
affected are the Fifteenth cavalry at
Fort Bliss, the Twentyseventh in
fantry at Fort Douglas, Arizona.
These regiments were to proceed to
Manila to relieve three other regi
ments.
1t is said at the war department
that the change in orders is only
temporary.
The American consulate at Juarez
has been instructed to insist that no
summary measures be taken by Mexi-
can officials against George Marks
and S. Franklin, under death sentence
for alleged circulation of counterfeit
money. The men, presumably .Ameri-
cans, have been found guilty by mil
itary court. He was instructed to in
sist that the execution be stayed u2.rN

idence.

BERLIN REPEATS BAN ON
PUBLISHING OF DETAILS

BERLIN (via London), June IL
The military commandant of Berlin
has issued renewal of the order
prohibiting the publication or COM
munication of military information
without a previously granted order.
He says the publication of German
losses, although based on official
lists, could lay no claim to cor
rectness and in part gives greatly-ex-
aggerated figures. Publications of
this nature are calculated to evoke
groundless uneasiness among the peo-
pie and also occasion incorrect ideas
abroad concerning German losses"
The commander therefore forbids
the publication of such articles.

ADVANCE OF THE AUSTRO-.
GERMANS FROM SOUTH
EAST Is SAID TO HAVE
BEEN CHECKED.

LONDON, June 11-British OBJ
on the latest dispatches from Russia,
believe that the Austro-German ad-
vance threatening Lemburg from the
southeast has been checked. Russia,
they declare, has delivered a return
blow. and a hard one.
The masses of German and Aus
trian troops which have forced Il
passage of the Dniester river near
Zurawna, according to the latest an
nouncement of the Russian war
office, have been flung back with
heavy losses in both men and ma
terial
Thus, for the moment, Lemberg is
thought to be safeS for nowhere else
along the Galician front have the
Teutonic allies been making progress
recently, with the exception, of
course, of their southern extension
into Bukowina
News was received yesterday that
Russian reinforcements were moving
south along the Dniester from Miko-
laioW to Rohatyn, but 1t hardly was
expected here they would achieve
such quick results. If this victory
has been decisive, it is the first real
check delivered by the Russians since
the start of the new Austro- German
rush against Galicia.
Nothing has been heard in London
concerning the fighting in the Baltic
provinces.
The Italians now are less than
twenty miles from Trieste the chief
port of Austria.
On the western front the method
ical French advance appears for the
moment to have ceased. German
counter attacks, however, do not
seem to have been successful
After the first success In the Baltic
regions, the Russian now claim a
considerable victory in Austria.
Austro-German forces which are at
tempting to advance on Lemberg
from the south are said by the Rus
sian war office to have been defeated
in battle along the Dniester, near
Zurawanna, east of Stry.
An unofficial dispatch from Ge-
neva says the Teutonic forces were
driven back at two points on the
Dniester.
The first big battle of the Italian
campaign now is under way, having
been brought on by the attempt by
the Italians to force the lsonzo river,
north OF the Gulf of Triest. Dis.
patches from Cologne and Geneva
mention heavy fighting, particularly
near Gorizia, on the east side of the
river, 20 miles northwest of the city
of Trieste. The Cologne report states
that the Italians were repulsed at
this point as well as near Gradisca
ana Monfalcone. Capture of Monfal-
cone by the Italians was announced
officially from Rome yesterday. Ac-
cording to the Geneva advices, the
battle has not been decided. Austrian
losses in the Gorilla fight are placed
at 5000 to 10000.
Two British fishing smacks in the
North sea were attacked and sunl,
by Ieppelins. Submarines sank the
BRUSH steamer Strathcarro, of 2.80O
tons, and Russian bark. No loss OF
life is reported in any case.

IOWA PUBLISHER WANTS y
PAY FOR ADVERTISING

Marion Bruce, Of the Rolfe, a., Ar.
row, wishes pay for his advertising
space. He has announced that here
after regular advertising rates will be
charged for all announcements of en-
tertainments for which admission fees
are asked. There is a peculiar mental
attitude towards the newspapers ad-
vertising space, on the part of the pub
lie. People will 60 into a newspaper
Office and ask for advertising space
free, who would never think of going
across the street and asking the grocer
to please give them so cents worth
of sugar without charge, or the dry
goods merchant to give them yard
of silk gratis. The thought seems to
be that the newspaper man has space
to fill and that it does not cost him
anything. Perhaps the editor himself
has been little to blame for this atti-
tude, but he is fast learning that his
advertising space not only costs him
money, but is his stock in trade.
If he gives it away there is nothing
left for him to sell. Mr.. Bruce's an
nouncement is good one and his ex-
ample will be followed by many others
in the near future.
