LOW ALLIES FAILURE TO
TAKE DARDANELLES.
by A MILITARY EXPERT.

Washington.> ID. C.-The European
war is now in one of its most inter
esting stages. If Germany is able
to hold its own on the western front
where it occupies a great part of
French and Belgian TERRITORY, and at
the same time is able TO drive the
Russian forces out of Austria. the
kaiser will be in a position to dictate
peace terms if peace is sought within
the next few months.
The allies are making tremend-
Gus drive all along the west, probab-
ly the long delayed spring drive with
which Kitchener bolstered up the
hopes of Englishmen during the win
ter and early spring recruiting sea-
season. At the same time the Ger
mans are pursuing their campaign
against Russia with greater vigor
than ever and Mackensen's promise
to be in Lemberg not later than July
l may be fulfilled.
Balkan Situation Interesting.
At present the situation around the
Balkans and the Dardanelles is as
interesting as the situation in Ca
licia and on the west front The al
lies coup for the Dardaneiles ap-
pears to have gone wrong. Turkey
is in excellent position to drive them
clear away from the Gallipoli penin-
sula, and if this occurs a sudden
shifting of the scene of war to Egypt
is not unlikely. The Turkish army is
in the control of German officers,
who have brought it up to a wonder
full state of efficiency.
A land movement on Egypt, known
to be the present plan of Germany
and Turkey, would be an excellent
strategic move to force Great Brit
aims hand. 1t probably would do
more than any other thing to discon-
cert Kitchener and to defect a large
portion of his new army from the
western front
Recent reports indicate that Rou-
mania has been dickering first with
the allies and then with the Germans.
If Roumania should enter the war at
present, it probably would be on the
side of Germany and Austria, for
| with the defeat of the Russians Rou-
mania would have better chance of
getting Bessarabia from Russia than

MAX KOSsOVE
NOT BANKRUPT
kINlBALL MAN is STRONG FINAN-
CIALLY-HAS BEEN INVOLV-
ED IN ANOTHER CASE.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Further inves-
tiSation by your correspondent of the
warrant served upon Max Kossove,
proprietor of a prominent depart
ment store of kimball, S d., dis
closes that the dispatch from Sioux
Falls published in The Republican
Franday, June 18th, contained
false statement wherein it was said
that Mr.. Kossove had filed bank
ruptcy proceedings. Mr.. Kossove is
one of the strongest men in Kimball
financially. He is able to buy goods
wherever he pleases and in. whatever
quantities he desires, as usual terms.
He has not filed bankruptcy proceed
ings and there is not the remotest
chance of his doing so because of his
large financial resources. The state
ment that he had done so was wholly
unwarranted.
Max Kossove who recently was ar
rested at kimball by Deputy United
States Marshal VIM. Hickey, on an
indictment charging himself and
three other men with entering into
conspiracy to conceal assets in a
bankruptcy case, has furnished a
bond of $4,000 for his appearance in
the federal court at Sioux City.
The Indictment against himself
and other defendants was reported
in open court on May 81, 1915, dur
ing term of United States court at
Sioux City The other defendants
are Barney Gelfand, Philip Celfand
and Sam Kossove. The offense
charged against the four men is al
legged to have been committed about
the months of July and August 1914
Kossove is charged with having
entered into conspiracy with Bar
ney Gelfand, Philip Gelfand and Sam
Kossove to corruptly agree and con-
spire "and confederate together for
the purpose of cheating and defraud-
ing, and did hide and conceal goods
and merchandise, moneys and prop
erty belonging to the said Gelfands
trustee in bankruptcy of the said
Barney Gelfand and Philip Gelfand
for the purpose of cheating and de-
fraudine."
1t is charged in the Indictment that
Harney and Philip Gelfand operated
a store in Sioux City, Ia, under the
firm name. of Gelfand and Gelfanc.
1t is also charged that they operat-
ed branch store at Wakonda, $. >.
According to the Indictment. Gelfand
and Gelfand filed petition in bank-
, ruptcy with the clerk of the United
States District court in Sioux City
after application for sam had been
made by the Hicks-Fuller-Fier
company and William Thackaberr:

STRIP OF AUSTRIAN
TERRITORY HELD SY RUSSIA,

London, England.-South of Lem
berg, in the Dniester region, a strip
of Austrian territory is still in the
hands of the Russians. An official
statement from Petrograd reports an
important victory after battle along
the river which lasted for several
days. At Rawa Ruska, thirty-two
miles northwest of Lemberg, near
the Bukowina border, other Russian
successes are claimed.
The Italian general staff announces
the arrival of important reinforce
ments for the Austrians along the
Isonzo front, north of the Gulf of
Triest. In the Monte Nero district
these forces, believed by the Italians
to have been brought in from the
Galician front, were encountered for
the first time in battle, which, the
announcement says, they repulsed by
Italian Alpine troops
An unofficial dispatch from Geneva
says the Italians have captured all
tie positions defending Malborgeth
and now are bombarding the fortress
itself

CLEARS GALICIA
With This Victory Austria
Receivers Practically All
Territory Lost to Russia
During War.

Berlin, Germany.-Lemberg has
been conquered after very severe
battle according to official reports
received today from the headquarters
of the Austro- Hungarian army. The
Galician capital fell before the ad-
vance of the second army.
Taken BY Russia Sept. 2.
Lemberg the capital of Galicia, oc-
cupied by the Russians Sept. 9, 1914
about one month after the outbreak
of hostilities, in the course of the
early Russian drive into Austria. 1t
has therefore been in Russian con-
troll for over ten months. For the last
twenty days, since the Austro-G G. erman
took Przemysl from the forces of
Emperor Nicholas, it has been the
objective or a series of fierce and con-
centrated attacks on the part of the
Teutonic allies.
Their success will have far reach
ing political effect, as the driving out
of the Russians from Galicia is count
ed on in Berlin to help maintain the
status quo in the Balkans.
The capture of Lemberg was one
of the earliest important successes
of tie Russians. Following it they
pushed rapidly through Galicia and
the high water mark of their invas-
ion almost found all of the province
in their hands.
High Tide of Invasion.
They approached within striking
distance of Cracow at the western
end of the province, close to the Ger
man frontier, and stormed the
heights and passes of the Carpathian
mountains, which separated Galicia
from Hungary and, to the east.
swept down through the crownland
of Bukowina to the Rumanian from
tier
All this has been changed by the
steady succession of Austro-German
victories of the last few weeks. The
change began with the launching of
great drive from Cracow eastward.
Great numbers of German troops
were sent in to assist the Austrians,
as we'll as vast amount of field ar
tillery. The use of artillery by the
Teutonic allies has been described
by the correspondents as on a scale
never before undertaken. Its effect
iveness was greatly increased by the
SlOI ldSS vi SHcllS VII tHC PuI ~ vi ebS
Russians, which is believed to have
contributed largely to the weakening
of their resistance.
Drive Never Paused.
The Austro-German armies push
ed forward through Galicia, recap
turing Prezmysl June 3 and then,
without pause, they struck at Lem
berg from the south and west. AT no
point were the Russians able to with
stand the terrific bombardment di-
rected against their positions. Even
the line of defenses near Grodek six
teen miles west of Lemberg, which
are of great natural strength, proved
to be untenable.
With Lemberg now in her
hands, Austria has reclaimed virtual
ly the whole province of Galicia.
The fighting in this campaign has
been of unusual intensity. The fig
ures of killed. captured, wounded
and missing given in the Austrian
German and Russian official state
ments runs into hundreds of thous-
ands. The Russians had made plans
for the permanent occupation of Ga
licia, bringing in officials to set uE
a civil administration in territory as

It has been persistentIy3 rumored that the purulenf pleurisy from which Constantine has suffered for several months, and which neces- sitated the removal of a portion of his ribs was the result of a wound, which suggests that the Green King may have been the victim of an attempted assassination. It is believed that Constantine, influenced by Queen So- phie, has been largely instrumental in the adoption of a policy of pro- Ger man neutraIity, so distastfuI to a ma jority of his Subjects. In the last election this attitude was rebuked by the people, and the party which sup ports the Kings neutrality policy was almost wiped out of existence by an avalanche of votes Considerab bly

Before he ascended the throne l Constantine and his wife were very unpopular in Greece, but the second Balkan war. in which the future King served gallantly, restored him to pop uIar favor.
