TODAY'SWAR SUMMARY

Although Italy and Austria are virtually
at war no reports have been received thus
far of actual hostilities A train which
crossed the frontier from Italy was seized
by Austrians, who arrested the train crew
Aside from the italian situation the
point of greatest interest at present is
Central Galicia. The Russians are credited
with having made progress on both fanks
of the Austro-German forces, but appar-
emily have not been able to menace their
communications.
The main struggle is being carried on
along the San from Przemysl northward,
distance Of about 60 miles.
Although the Austrians and Germans APP
parently are making slower progress than
heretofore Petrograd dispatches admit
they still retain the advantage
An official report from Petrograd states
attempts Of the Turkish forces to advance
along the Black sea coast have failed. 1t
is said the Russians compelled them to
flee and captured two towns.
The British sailing vessel GIenholm was
sunk by a German submarine off the Irish
coast yesterday The crew was permitted
to leave the ship before it was destroyed
and escaped.

great battle is still raging along q go
mile front on the eastern line Al
though Russia apparently is gaining on
both fronts the decision must come
Elong the river San in Central Galieia,
where the Austriaus and Germans are
still pressing the offensive.
The latest Petrograd communication
:tates that this attack is being check
ed between the San and the great
marshes of the Dniester.
The Russian press, while admitting
that the Teutonic forces have cstab
lished themselves along the San, de-
clare they can go no farther in that
direction.
Petrograd also has been cheered by
the official report that the Russ1ans
are again advancing against the Turks
in the Caucasus.
On the western line Paris repons
that the French stopped strong
right attack of the Germans north of
Ypres and also have driven the in
vaders from the slopes of the Lorette,
thus giving the allies full possession
Of this important salient.

tBrockington, a reading by Mrs. Du-
! Temple, vocal duet BY Miss Winni-
/ fred Prigge and Mrs. W G. Sercombe,

a dialogue on Why / Joined the Re-
bekahs by Miss Phoebe Clark, Mrs.
John E. Tasker and Miss Alvena
Walker. Miss May Cook was accom-
lpanist.

ah assembly was marked by as large
an attendance as at the morning meet
ing. Resolutions were adopted, ad-
i dresses of felieitation by visiting of
fcers from other states made and

CIRCULATION
THE FRYE NOTE.

It has been a long time coming, but
the attitude which has been manifest
ed by Germany in the Frye note just
made public indicates that it has been
moved by a regard for it's obligations
and that it is not DESTROYS Of causing
a break in the friendly relations exist
ing between the two countries.
This new note indicates that it is
recognized in Berlin that America is
not endeavoring by its protests and
demands to uphold or assist the cause
of Germany's enemy, but on the other
hand that it has simply insisted upon
it's rights and that such is no more
than it should receive. The note,
when it declares that orders have
been issued to the German naval forces
not to destroy American merchant
men which have loaded conditional
contraband but to permit them to con-
tinue their voyage unhindered when il
is impossible to take them into port
means If it means anything that prop
err respect will be paid thereto by exer.
cising the right Of search and deter
mining before any move is made tt
sink an American vessel that it has
violated international law.
The tone of the note furnishes the
basis for the belief that Berlin is pre-
pared to recognize American rights
in other respects. That it has gathered
from our stand that we are not to bt
bluffed or hoodwinked by excuse.
which do not excuse, is to be inferred
Germany's action, however. is only al
acknowledgment Of the duty which thi:
country has been trying to make i
perform. This country is being con
ceded nothing but what it is entities

It is a question now whether the

parture until it has received a reply

siders necessary for his leave-taking
next Tuesday. DIR. Dumba thus does
well to remind his government thai
much depends upon its action. He is
not likely to go very far unless he has
assurances that he will be permitted
to reach home safely and he knows
that Uncle Sam must be depended
upon for much In that respect, and as
for himself he might have aided ma
terially by being little more discreet
in his actions.

PREvENrARLE HIRES.

The quarter Of O. million dollar fire
which swept out of existence a church
a half dozen hotels. two theaters and
other business blocks at Hampton
Beach in New Hampshire furnishes an
admirable text for bringing to the at.
tention of the general public as well as
the school children on Fire Prevention
day the great losses which are sus-
tanned almost daily through the lack
Of proper precaution.
This big blaze at place where there
was little IRE hghting apparatus and
most inadequate supply of water for
fire fighting purposes was started in
with matches. 1t required but little
time to gain tremendous headway and
it was impossible to check it until
it had covered an area of several
acres, but it was no different than
many other large fires which occur
under very similar circumstances.
Conditions which are conducive to
the kindling Of serious fires exist in
every community, and it is through a
recognition of these dangers and the
constant watch to abate them, that a
valuable service is rendered. Where
there is a laxity in this respect, where
inf1ammable material is allowed to col
lect in boxes, closets and cellars. there
sethe material which it requires only a
discarded match, cigarette or cigar
butt carelessly thrown aside to fur
nish the combination for disastrous
results. Children and matches, like
mice and matches, form a dangerous
union, but there are also many Other
opportunities for preventing fires
which need to be kept constantly II
mind and in comparison with foreign
countries the people of this country
have much to learn.

If DR.. Dumba is getting anxious

ting a promise for his safe conduct
home, it is not at all surprising, but
the only obstacles in the way are him
self and his own government. and he
does well when he urges his superiors
to hasten their decision.
Thus far this government has re-
ceived no reply from Vienna in re-
Spouse to its communication request
Ing that DR.. Dumba be recalled, since
he can be tolerated no longer here as
the representative Of the Austrian
government. Allowance is made for
this because Of the difficulty Of getting
accommodations through from that
country. 1t is not to be overlooked,
however, that DR.. DuYnba has since
received word from his government
that In compliance with his request
he would be called home for a personal
report, which disposition Of the matter
