ARTILLERY HEARD
 LONG DISTANCE E


 BERLIN, July 14.-Interesting light on the question of how far artillery fire can be heard is given by Dr. Doerr a German scientist, writing in the "Meterologische Zeits chrift" From observations made at the Dutch Met geological Institute and from other sources of information this writer shows that the German heavy mortars used in the attack upon Antwerp were heard to a distance of 139 to 142 miles but that at distances of only 40 to 60 miles nothing was heard The zone of silence extended to about loo to 1O6 miles Where the detona- tions could again begin to be heard, however, they were described as es. pecially violent So much so that the ground seemed to tremble
 The existence of such zone of si lence appears not to have been scien. tihcally demonstrated previous to the present war It is mentioned, for eX ample, that in the wars of 1866 and 1870, German commanders on several occasions received instructions to march to any point where they might hear . cannonade but they failed to render the expected assistance, and their explanations were discredited when they reported that they had not heard anything, although the guns had been hear hy other troop at still moro distar IGnts W eu Fred erick the Great ca ested the Austr ans near LiegrHl in l760 tho main body Of the Au u ms failed to heal the artillery fire there and did not come to the assistance of their com Iades, whereas other Austrian troops much farther removed heard it and began their march toward the scene oi action.

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

1t is a sad day for Christianity when the church bells call the communicants together for a political prayer meet ing. Such gatherings mark the high tide of religious political fanaticism, put bitterness into the lives of men; fan the flames of class hatred and de- stroy Christian influence in the com munity The spirit actuating such meetings is snarchistic, un-Christlike and dangerous to both church and state.

London.-The situation in Poland
and the Baltic provinces Is changing
only little from day to day and public
interest is being turned to the near
east, where the diplomats of the quad
ripple entente powers are endeavoring
to divide the Balkan League and bring
all the Balkan states over to their side
and to the armies OF the allies which
are battling against the Turks on the
Gallipoli peninsula and in the Cauca-
sus.
Diplomats OF all the belligerents for
the moment are concentrating their
attention on Sofia, for Bulgaria holds
the key to the situation. 1t is said
she Is being offered territorial con-
Cessions as an induCement for her to
Join one side or the other or to re-
main neutral. Both the German and
entente ministers are declared to be
finding their e%ndeavors hindered by
their friends. Greece and Servia are
unwilling to concede to Bulgaria that
part OF Macedonia which Is her price
for joining the allies, while Turkey Is
opposing concessions which Austria
and Germany desire her to make to
insure her continued neutrality of the
Sofia government.

For some time news from the OAR

public has been told that the hope for

The renewed attempt against the

MEXICAN CLASH IMMINENT
B%attleshlps Hurried to Vera Cruz,
Where Anti-American Riots Are
Feared.-More Troops.

Washington.-The situation in Mex
leo took a new and startling turn Aug.
10, and 1t is believed there is a strong
probability that a clash between the
United States and Carranza Is immi-
nent.
Commander McNamee, in command
Of the naval forces of the east coast,
reported that mobs in Vera Cruz were
being melted to murder foreigners and
that the situation was extrmely seri'
Gus. He asked that two battleships
be sent to him at once.
In response to his request, the bac.
tleships Louisiana and New Hamp-
shire sailed on the night OF Aug. 10
from Newport, r. l., for Vera Cruz.
The gunboat Marietta has also been
ordered from Progreso to Vera Cruz.
President Wilson has decided to cut
short his vacation at Cornish, N. H.,
and return to Washington at once.
DR.. Ortega, the Guatemalan minister
to Mexico, who was ordered expelled
by Carranza, was taken on board the
gunboat Sacramento at Vera Cruz for
safety. His wife and daughter are
with him. They will be brought to
the United States.
The navy department hurriedly pre-
pared plans to divert from Haiti some
of the marines and ships which are
now there. This will be done il the
situation at Vera Cruz becomes more
critical.
Naval officers expressed the opinion
privately that within a short time a
large part of the Atlantic fleet will be
sent south to Mexican waters.
Announcement was made that more
troops will be sent to the Mexican Dor
der at once.
The text OF Commander McNamee's
report today was not given out, but II
was learned from both departments
that he described conditions as caus
ing intense fear among all foreigners
in Vera Cruz of serious troubles. He
said there we're street parades, gathel'
ings of mobs and incendiary speeches
with threats against foreigners.
