RUSSIA STANDS FIRM
TO PROTECT WARSAW
AuStrO- German Forces Have Been Able
to Move Only Once in Weeks
Time.

London, July 25.-Only the northern
tip of the pincers the Austro-Germans
for more than a week have been try
ing Ito close around Warsaw and the
Russian armies in the Polish salient
nave moved the last few days. THIS
poin- AS forced its way across. the
Narew river between the fortress of
Pultusk and Rozan, and is advancing
towards tie Bug river, which stands
for the greater part of the way be-
tween it and the Warsaw Wilma rail-
way, its objective.
The otner point, which Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen is directing at the
Cholm-Lublin railway, has gained
hardly a yard since it reached the
village of Reiovetz, just south of the
railway.
In stubbornly resisting the German
advance the Russians are making a
continual threat at won Mackensen's s
flank along the Bug river from east
Of Cholm to east of Lemberg. Between
Kryl and Sokal their attacks had been
especially severe, compelling the Ger
mans to send reinforcements to meet
them.
Along the Vistula, south and west
of Warsaw, there has been little
change except for the German occu-
patton of positions evacuated by the
Russians wien they drew in their
line.
While Warsaw is under heavy pres
sure the Austro-Germans have a lot of
stiff work before them if they are to
capture the Polish capital. After
crossing the Narew they still have the
broader Bug, lined with fortresses, to
face; while in the south the Russians
have good positions north of the Lub-
lin -Caolm railway which might prove
the undoing of the army that attacked
them.
Many are OF the opinion that the
most dangerous attacks at the moment
are those in the provinces Of Courland,

FEAR WAS MOTIVE.
Green Considered Victim Sort of JO-
Rah-In Terror of MObs.

Milledgeyille, Ga, July 24.-William
Green stabbed Leo N. Frank IN the
prison here last Saturday night be-
cause he feared the prison would be
attacked by a mob bent on lynching
Frank, he told Gov Harris today. The
governor came here with committee
of the legislature to investigate prison
conditions and get Cree's state
ment. as Franks assailant had said he
would tell his tory only to the gov
ernor and B. H. Haraday Of Macon.
Haraday has not been in Georgia since

the attack.
Green said that he had planned the
attack several days before it took place
but said nothing to any one about it.
When asked if he had outside instruc-
tions he fell on his knees and sWore
that he had not.
Te said that the knife he used was
not the one he used when killing hogs
that Saturday as reported, but tat ne
he had stolen the weapon from the
kitchen Friday before the attack. He
hid it in his bunk, he told the gov
ernor. After his statement was taken
he barred his back to disprove reports
that he had been fiogged since the
attack.
81 felt that as long as he (Frank)
was here there was danger of the pris-
on being attacked" Green said. Il
was afraid the guards and the people
making the attack would shoot at
each other and people be killed, so
came to the conclusion that it was my
duty to save the people from danger
to which Franks presence exposed
them. So I decided to kill him.
Franks condition is much improved
today.
The investigation by the governor
and the State prison commission was
COMPLETED today.

CHICAGO STRIKE
RESULT MUCH
|DLENESS

CHICAGO, June 25.-It is freely
predicted here that all the building
material plants in the city will shut
down within the next two weeks as
a result of the big strike of the car
penters, which has tied up the build
ing trades industry for the past two
months.
The lumber yards will all be closed
before the end of next week, and the
sash and door factories, and all con-
Germs in similar lines must be forced
to follow suit. 1t has been estimated
that if the strike continues much
longer another 100000 men will be
thrown out of work, and the situation
in this city among the workers will
become acute.

LONDON June a5,--No department

( LONDON; June 25,-No department
of state has such an elastic organiza-
ton as the British Admiralty. which
did not even feel the recent cabinet
change. For this result it can thank
Winston Churchill, since it was he
who introduced the Naval War Staff
feature, which stands behind the
First Sea Lord. The staff is the Ad-
miralty's thinking machine. and pro-
vides ideas and information for who
ever may be in charge at the time. 1t
was created three years ago.
No executive power is allowed the
war staff, which is purely advisory.
The subjects dealt with cover naval
operations, intelligence and mobiliza-
ton. The head of the staff, obviously
should be a student of naval warfare
and an authority on questions of
strategy. He is empowered to sit with
the First Lord of the Admiralty and
the First Sea Lord at the meetings of
the Imperial Defense Committee.
When first organized, Churchill
foresaw it would suffer from a lack
of officers trained for staff duties. This
lack was supplied by giving the most
brilliant of the young officers a spe-
cial course of training at the Naval
War College. Admiral Sir Henry
Jackson, who, as PRECEDENT of the COL
lege, put the scheme into operation,
was later called to the post of Chief
of the War Staff. Although his place
was later taken by Admiral Sir Dove
ton Sturdee, he remains at the Admir-
atty on special service.

REPORTER VISITS
TEUTON ARMY
IN FRANCE

NORTHERN FANCE, June 25-To
the seeker after sensations is COM
mended a luncheon at the German
front, in an Understand" or protect
ed underground cave house occupied
by some officer in the immediate neigh
borhood OF battery of heavy artillery.
Let him preferably come directly to
the cave from the trenches at time
when the firing has been heavy, and
where he has been able to see rows
upon rows of dead between the Ger
man and French lines; and where also
he has been given glimpse of real
warfare and some of its hardships,
and if possible let him choose the
colonels wedding anniversary for the
day of his visit, for then there will
be, out in the veritable wilderness,
champagne in honor of the occasion
and perhaps a lively piano to Offset
the shrieking of the shells as they
tear overhead.
This opportunity to make study
in contrasts was afforded an Associ-
ated Press correspondent ON recent
tour of Northern France.
The morning had been devoted to
inspecting the remarkable trenches
that form vertable underground city,
with houses" that have 'all the COM
forts of home" Overhead the Ger
man shells shrieked continuously, and
their devastating effect could be seen
in part by circumspect glimpses over
the top of the trenches.
The way led by the Bavarian colonel
was through the winding, twisting,
seemingly interminable "Laufgraben"
or connecting trenches, and led out
suddenly into a little wooded clump,
less than thousand yards from the
French trenches and not twice that
from their batteries. Just behind the
trees was German battery that one
could hear but not see.
With a twinkle in his eye, the
Bavarian colonel turned sharply TO the
right, down neat and well-built pair
Of steps and along q path nanked by

TIMBER RESERVE
ALONG LINE Of
RAILROAD

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 25.-To
supply timber for the construction of
the new government railroad in
Alaska, President Wilson has signed
an order creating a timber reserve
along the proposed line of the road.
The reserve will follow the route, and
will be 200 miles long and to 10
miles wide. One purpose OF the order
is to forestall any spectators from
getting in and tying up the available
timber for the purpose of extorting
high prices. All settlers along the
line of the railroad, and within the
limits of the reserve, will be allowed
to use what timber is on their land
for themselves.

ALASKA EXHIBIT IS
ATTRACTING CROWDS

SEATTLE, June 26.-Attendance at
the Alaska exhibit, maintained by the
Chamber of Commerce in the store
building on Fourth avenue, near SEN
eca street, Seattle, has demonstrated
that interest in Alaska is widespread
and that the exhibit is a success.
Since June 1, the opening day, the
attendance has increased daily and
many of the visitors stated that they
were gathering information prepare
tory to a trip in Alaska. The Alaska
views, which are shown from 10 to II
in the morning and to 5 in the after
noon require two hours for each run.
They consist of many beautiful scenic
pictures and teach, through maps and
other means, the varied resources of
Alaska and the present state Of their
development.
1.-THE exhibit is educational as well
as entertaining" said ]. L. Mcpherson,
secretary of the Alaska bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday,
amy one desiring knowledge of Alaska
can gain more by spending two or
three hours at this exhibit than by
hours of reading or days of travel in
Alaska"

HOLLAND TRADE
CROWS WITH
GERMANY i
0.''"""b il

AMSTERDAM, June 26.-The Tele-
CRAFTS weekly trade reports from cor
respondents on the German border in
dictate that Dutch trade with Germany,
both import and export. is increasing
rapidly, as facilities are improved and
the proper channels of goods bound
for the United States. The exports are
mainly food supplies.
The Telegraaf's report from Win
terswyk says:
Traffic with Germany, both import
and export, was again exceptionally
heavy during the past week. About
$50 more carloads of fuel were i'm
ported than the week before, and the
supply of various kinds of manufac-
tured goods is still maintained in the
same degree and is especially Of I'm
portance to America.
Altogether there came from Ger
many into Winterswyk 1000 carloads,
of which 440 were manufactured goods
and the rest coal, briquettes and coke.
There were also large quantities of
cement, pig iron and toys.
"The export to Germany has hardly
ever been as heavy as during the past
week. This was in the first place
caused by large consignments of po-
tatoes and meat, reaching a total of
275 carloads. IN addition there was
butter, cheese, eggs, tropical fruits,
tapioca, arrowroot, bananas, tobacco,
raw cotton, old iron, and an Eastern
root, the flour of which can be utilized
in the preparation of bread"

LONDON, June 25.-Sii James
Crichton-Browne, who stands in the
forefront of English authorities on
mental and nervous diseases, says that
one of the saddest results of the war
will be great increase in the number
of lunatics.
Addressing the annaul meeting of
the Asylums Workers Association, he
said: much of the aftermath of war
will find its way into asylums. The
enormous number of cranial injuries
will undoubtedly lead to much mental
impairment. The large number of
cases OF shock to the nerves and over
strain will cause much neurasthenia
and other disorders. There has been
throughout the whole country i'm
measurable sorrow and bereavement
which in many cases will deepen into
morbid melancholy"

In the country portions of Belgium
today there is scarcely a trace of war
beyond an occasional ruined building.
And in Northern France, the landscape
is infinitely more attractive than of
old because the extensive culture of
sugar beets, with their brown growth,
has been discontinued, and wheat and
corn, with green shoots, have been
substituted.
The destruction in Belgium may
have been overestimated and exag-
gerated in the beginning. Whether
that or not, the combination Of the re-
construction efforts of the victors and
invaders, and the forces of nature in
the springtime have been made of it
once more a pleasantly smiling coun-
try that taxes the Imagination to draw
a picture of war in progress.

At the entrance stood mahogany

German lines indicated by little flags.
In the center was long table, with

final touch. .,4,,,
Smiling, the colonel took his place
at the head of the festive board, in
vited the correspondent to a seat at
his side, and waved to his accompany
ing officers to take their seats. He
admitted, little efficiently, that it
was his wedding anniversary and that
he felt like celebrating.
His officers were in the midst of con-

heard as it tore over the roof of the
little dwelling, so incongrous in the
midst of all. the evidences of active
warfare. 4it-' BIZ : -
For reply one of the unsteady tall
ented officers jumped up and ran to
the piano and struck up the Wedding
March. Its strains doomed out in the
little room, and were drowned for a
second as another-boom-sounded
from the battery.
No luncheon in big city could
have been more tastefully arranged
nor could have tasted one-half as good.
From some mysterious recess a SER
vant-summoned by an improvised
electric bell-drew forth red and white
wine, and then champagne. The col
onel apologized for the shortage Of
glasses, only one apiece, and that
champagne had to be drunk from a
claret glass rinsed out with spring
water after serving its first purpose.
To the tune of booming cannon and
shrieking shells the health of the col
onel and that of his wife were drunk
in ice-cold champagne that tasted
fully one hundred per cent better than
it would have tasted if served from a
silver cooler. The colonel responded
with graceful words regarding the
American press. The luncheon was
over, to the regret of everyone.
A boarded up entrance to what ap-
peared to be a closet or chest caught
the eye of the correspondent.

Workers hold another. Others steer

Unfortunately the matter does not lend itself
readily to statistical measurement, so that the
controversy may continue to the end of time
unless we alter it somewhat to involve not
wickedness necessarily, but indifference to
organized religion. This latter may be meas
ured with certain rough approximation of
accuracy.
Every civilized community has invested
portion of its capital in organized religion.
The investment is designed to pay dividends
in moral strength which, in SO far as it in
creases industry and thrift and parental and
flial regard and puts a brake on demoralizng
sef-indulgence, may be computed in dollars
and cents, in higher wages, better profits

dous capital invested in organized religion, the
value OF its church property. according to the
Federal census of religion made in 1906, being
S153,925,74O.
Is New York City receiving reasonable
rate of dividend on this vast investment
People don't go TO church a rule unless
its emotional and intellectual food has some
moral nourishment for them. And people don't
become members or communicates OF church
unless they intend repeating their visits until
the sustenance it affords has some permanent
effect on their psychology. Therefore it is
possible roughly TO compute the return from
this social investment by the number OF church
members and communicates as compared with
the outlay.
OF course, there can be no absolute criterion.
We cannot say what number OF COMMITMENTS
to the seating capacity of church determines
a reasonable return on the capital sunk; as, tor
instance, the Supreme Court is able to say that
per cent is a reasonable profit on money IN
vested in public service undertakings. But at
least we are entitled to the opinion that II one
denomination Is able to make given church
capacity and investment do for twice as many
communicates as another the rate OF return IN
the second is not commensurate with its out
Law. The burden of proof to the contrary
will lie with it, not with us.
