On the 10000 line con-
tract, costing $500 for a
year, a Washington mer-
chant can reach through The
Sunday Star over $4,000
homes in Washington and
nearby towns every week.
There are an average of
about 100 of the best fami-
lies in each of the 100 near
by towns and 10000 families
in Washington who depend
upon The Sunday Star as
their guide for shopping.
To reach these people once
a year with two-cent stamp
would cost $1,000. Reach
ing each of these same peo-
pie every Sunday for a year
with 200 lines of advertising
in The Sunday Star full of

1 3-5 cents or less than

No advertising in Wash

visited, those privately owned as well
as those belonging to the state. the
minister witnessed very great ac-

progressive efforts shown up to the

The evacuation of Lembers as

Rawaruska has been captured

deprive negroes of the right to vote in
state and federal elections. The con-
sequences of that decision will be far
reaching. it was said in political cir
cles today, and inevitably will lead to
the necessity of new legislation by
those states and by Congress.
Until the decisions are read In full
and analyzed In respect to their specific
bearing upon the complex laws of the
several southern states affected, the
full effect of the decisions cannot he
detailed. The broad principles laid
down, however, are sufficiently recog-
nizable to show plainly that drastic
changes in the election laws of many
states will have to be made.
Action must be taken, too, before No

that literary test, in itself and by

RESPONSIBLE STATESMEN
SEEK AN UNDERSTANDING
Weary Of Seeing Relations With
Washington Made More Strained
by Journalistic 0utgivings.

BERLlN, via London, 1:3o
pm, June 22.-The German au-
thorities today informed the ad-
ministration of the Berlin Tages
Zeitung that it would have to sus-
pend publication for an indefinite
period on account of the recent
article published by this paper
on the subject OF German-Ameri-
can relations from the pen of
Count Reventlow.
The action of the German authorities
| is regarded here as an indication that
the government Is weary of seeing its
relations with America made more
strained by journalistic outgivings
such as those of Count Won Reventlow.
Advised Disregard of Law.
The article In question followed the
well known lines of that writeI, who
asserted that interna tional law must be
disregarded in the conduct of subma-
| rine warfare. He declared that these
| laws were made before submarines
were invented, and continued:
"And one can as little employ these
| rules in an objective common sense

petent statesman into healthful rela-
ton to the well being of the whole

BILE statesmen are eagerly desirous OF

| derstanding with America.
An Impassioned Campaign.
! BERLIN. via London. June %. 1875
| am-The Norddeutsche Allgemeine
| Zeitung today published the following:
| "In the Deutsche Tages Zeitung al
| most daily for some time an impas-
| stoned campaign has been carried on
in which. more or less frankly. the eyes
of readers were to be opened to certain
dangers confronting the empire because
| of the feeble stand of the government
| in the matter of the differences with the
United States over submarine warfare.
From Both Viewpoints.
| "On one side it is made to appear as
| if official circles for the sake of peace
| with America were considering giving
up superiority in the submarine weap-
| on. On the other side one does not
shrink from lhe folly of the assertion
| that increasing the number of our enc
| mics by the United States would be a
| matter of utter unimportance. In Mon
| days issue the Deutsche Tages Zeitune
rises to scarcely concealed ridicule OF
| the legal standpoint set forth in the
| German notes to America and to a per-
| sonal attack on leading statesmen.
Criticism Handicaps Government.
| 1.-The men who bear the responsibility
and whose duty it is TO weigh dangers
and advantages against each other are
not affected by public criticism. A CAM
pagn OF this kind against our statesmen

imperial government its task not only

weapons but also of preventing injurious
reactions on the general political sit

will come TO an end.

closed, and that at present no new

Cars Armies Intact
Despite Retirement in
the Lemberg Reqion

LONDON. June 22.-Nothing but A
sudden and unexpected blow by Grand
Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of
the Russian forces in the field, can now
save Lemberg. the capital of Galicia in
the hands of the Russians for nearly
ten months, from returning to the pos
session of it's former owners, and the
almost immediate evacuation Of the city
by the Russians Is expected In London.
After yielding on the Grodek lines,
the Russian armies retired to virtually
the outskirts of the city of Lemberg
itself. The Austrian official announce
ment on hostilities speaks Of the Rus
SLAMS as attacking at many points, but
be merely incidents of the rear guard
actions to enable the main forces to
withdraw.
Russian Armies Intact.
In the opinion of British observers
this retirement has been, up to tho
present time, a well executed move
ment. Dispatches reaching London say
the armies of Emperor Nicholas are
virtually intact, and that their ability
to resume the initiative once their
ranks have been refilled and their am
munition replenished, has not been
greatly impaired.
This interval, however. it is argued
here, will give the Germanic allies op-
portunity to reap the fruits of tho
Victories In Galicia. They will be able
to withstand assaults from the east
with much smaller forces than were
reouired successfully to attack and
large masses OF men will be released
German Plans Secret.
Whether these are to be used against
the Russians farther to the north or
against the British and the French in
the western arena of the war is a secret

U. S. Supreme Court Decree
UphoIding 18th Amendment
Is Far-Reaching in Effect

In probably one of the most impor-
tant decisions In its history, relating
to race distinction. the United States
Supreme Court yesterday, as announced
In The Star, annulled as unconstitu-
tional the Oklahoma constitutional
amendment and the Annapolis. Md,

suffrage rights of those who could not
vote or whose ancestors could not vote
prior to the ratification of the If
teenth amendment to the federal Con-
stitution.
Chief Justice White, native of the
south. and former Confederate SOL
der, announced the courts decision.
which was unanimous except that JUS
tice McReynolds took no part in the
case.
BY holding that conditions that ex-
listed before the fifteenth amendment.
which provides that the right to vote
shall not be denied or abridged on ac-
count of race, color or previous condi-
tion of servitude, could not be brought
over to the present day in disregard of
this self-executing amendment, IL is
generally believed that the court went
a long way toward invalidatins much

Effect Of Decision,
The immediate effect of the courts
decision was to uphold the conviction
of two Oklahoma election officials who
denied negroes the right to vote In a
congressional election. and to award
three Maryland negroes damages from
election officials in Annapolis who re-
fused to register them. The court held
that these election officials could not

the politicians today was the certainty,

other subject-the pending effort to
