tennis, of course, are popular every
where, and riding parties seem the
fashion OF the moment at the Vir-
ginia resorts, but it remains for the
colonies along the northern coast to
devise all manner of unusual enter
tainments to cloak the identity of a
mere dancing party. Narragansett
Pier contributed a black and white
ball last week which seemed to be
the incarnation of the dreams of all
the cubist and futurist artists since
the world began. Geometric figures
and particularly checks and stripes in
the magpie effects, formed the dec
orations, from the Illuminating device
to the smallest dance favor.

MILES BURNS RESIGNS
Former City Comptroller Quits to Give
Better Chance to investigators Of

Nashville.
A supplemental bill to the original
bill asking for receiver for the City
of Nashville was filed in chancery
court by the compliments, asking
that the Southern Bitulithic Com
pany, the Peerless Motor Car Com
pany, and Warren Bros. of Boston, be
made parties to the suit.
The bill also asks that the reference
Of the chancellor Of the taking Of teS'
timony by the special commissioner be
broadened so as to allow evidence
showing the number of contracts the
city has given the paving companies,
what sums of money have been paid
by the city to the companies, and what
sums Of money are now claimed to be
due. On the grounds that money paid
on contracts held by these companies
has been fraudulently paid, the bill
asks for judgment against the compa-
mics for the amount paid. The bill
asks that the money recovered be d.
vided proportionately among the tax
payers of the city.

CLOSING IN ON WARSAW
Pushing Hard on Three Sides, the
Austro-German Forces Tighten
Arc Around Polish Capital.

London-With the German field mar.
shals, Won Hindenburg on the north
and Won Mackensen on the south,
whipping forward the two ends OF a
great arc around Warsaw, 1t is real.
ICED in England that Grand Duke Mich
olas, in defending the city, has the
most severe task imposed on him since
the outbreak Of the European war.
Some military writer's seem to think
the feat is well-nigh impossible.
There was sustained confidence that
Germany's previous violent attacks
along the Bzura.Rawka front never
would pierce the Russian line, but the
present colossal coordinate movement
was developed with such suddenness
and carried so far without meeting Sc
rious Russian resistance that more and
more the British press is discounting
the fall OF the Polish capital, and,
while not giving up all hope of its re-
tention, is pointing out the enormous
difnculty the Russian armies nave Ia
bored under from the star: by the ex-
istence Of such salient.
Unable to straighten out their line
by an advance through East Prussia,
in the north, and Galicia in the south,
the Russians perpetually have faced
the pincers of the Austro-Germans,
and If these cannot be sufficiently
frightened Warsaw must go and with it
the entire line.
According to the latest accounts, the
Austro-German forces advancing from
Przasnysz were within forty miles Of
Warsaw; while to the south Won
Mackensen's center at points was
within ten miles OF the Lubin-Cholm
railroad.

aced the navy's fuel supply. The
agreement is subject to ratification
by the miners through delegates.
The terms arrived at grant a sub
stantial wage increase and involve
concessions which strike leaders con
slider as tantamount to an admission
of nearly all the miners claims.
The chief cause of the miners un-
rest was what they considered the ex-
cessive profits mine owners were max
ing in the sale of their coal at war
prices-profits in which they were not
sharing. They also deeply resented
enforced arbitration as authorized by
the application of the munitions act
to coal miners. Though 1t is now a
law, this measure was not actually In
Eoked against the miners and no men
tion is made of its future scope in the
proposed settlement
The hopeful turn of affairs has been
received with sigh of relief all over
Great Britain, for the humiliation Of
the public that strike should have
taken place at such time was keen.
This humiliation was reflected in the
press and there was growing talk of
the government taking over the mines.

Were on cunarder orduna, At

New York.-The Cunard liner Or.
duna, from Liverpool to New York.
with 227 passengers. including TWEEN
ty-one Americans, was attacked with
out warning. It was learned on her ar
rival here on July IT, by a German
submarine on the morning Of July Q.
Twenty miles from the graveyard Of
the Lusitania of Old Head Of Kinsale
the Orduna escaped the Lusitania's
fate by one-half a second Of time or
ten feet of space. the German torpedo
churning the water that distance be-
hind the liners rudder. Then the Or
duna sped away. She was followed by
the submarine, which rose to the sur
face, manned a gun and shelled the
fleeing steamer.
The attack was planned at ten min
utes to 6 o'clock in the morning, when
all but few of her passengers were
asleep. Aroused by stewards, the pas
sengers dressed hurriedly and went to
the upper deck, where they donned
life belts and took their places at the
life boats. They heard the scream Of
the shells and saw the ocean spit up
columns of water where the shells
struck. When the fire grew hot they
were ordered, for their own protection,
to the next deck below.
For half an hour the Orduna showed
her heels to the assailant. Through
marine glasses the passengers watch
ed the low-lying German warship COM
ing on with bone in her teeth, but
the Orduna's flight was faster than the
pursuit, and after seven shots had
been fired, without effect, the subma-
rine gave up the chase.
Protest will be made to the Ameri-
can government by at least one citi.
zen Of the United States, and possibly
others, who were aboard. William o.

SITUATION is VERY GRAVE
Relationship between United States
and Germany Reach Strainlng
Point Because Of Attack.

Washington-The relations between
the United States and Germany have
now reached so acute stage that it
is extremely doubtful that the Ameri-
can people will stand for any further
parleying with the German govern
ment over reparation for the loss Of
more than 100 American lives on the
Lusitania and the demands of this
government for the safety of Ameri-
can lives on the sea. This is the feel
ing here.
Some of the more apprehensive Of
ficials here are hoping that Germany
will disavow the attack on the Or
duna. Coming at time when the
relations between the two countries
were so delicate, it was pointed out,
1t could have only one effect on the
American people.
In view of his previous notes to Ger
many, President Wilson would have
had no alternative but to recall Am.
bassador Gerard at once, officials be
lieve, If the attack on the orduna had
been successful. 1t would have con.
stituted an unmistakable answer to
our demands in the Lusitania case,
they say, and would have brought dip.
lomatic negotiations to an abrupt con
clusion.
The attack on the orduna is even
graver than that on the Lusitania, in
the opinion OF officials. as II leaves
the German government no excuse of
military necessity, such as was offered
