BURGLARS SECURE SILK
Goods to the Value of $500 Taken
from Store in Manchester.

MANCHESTER CENTER, VT, July
S.-Burglars entered the store of the
Combination Cash Store company last
night, but were unsuccessful in an at
tempt to break into the safe.
They took the small change left in
the cash drawers and a large quantity
of silk ribbon and other silk goods.
Entrance was affected through a
rear window, on which fly paper was
pasted to deaden the sound of break
ing glass. The burglars passed by the
cheaper goods and took the best in the
store.
They started to drill the safe and
evidently gave up the job after cut
ting about one-eighth of an inch into
the door. They also Clipped corner
off the safe door, apparently in an at
tempt to loosen it with a chisel. The
loss is estimated at about $500.

CORNISH, n. H., July S.-President
Wilson spent the forenoon today in the
seclu.ion Of his study considering the Ger
man and Alcxican situations. A long dcs-
patch from the state department at Wash

Mexico, and containing information con
ccruing the political situation in the south
crn republic, was gone over by the Presi-
dent
While Mr.. Wilson is postponing action
ON the Mexican situation until his return
TO Washington, he is expecting that some
thing tending to clarity the situation may
come out of the information brought to
Washington by the various Villa leaders.
IL is known here that some of the Presi-
dents advisers on Mexican affairs have all
urged that the Villa faction be allowed to
name a president, who will be accorded
recognition by the United States.
The President has gained weight since
coming here and today was apparently in
perfect physical condition The visit to
Cornish has also benefited the members OF

TODAY'S WARSUMMARY

For the moment the Teutonic march
through South Poland, which was be
ginning to threaten Lublin and Warsaw
has been brought to halt
Official statements from each side
agree that at the one point where the
Russian lines were still displaying
weakness they have been strengthened
1t now appears that Grand Duke
Nicholas S forces are holding THEN
ground all along the extended front.
Determined attempts by the Austro-
German forces to drive the Russians out
of what remained to them of Galicia
are continuing.
Petrograd reports assaults bv great
forces east Of Lemberg, but declares
they were repulsed with heavy losses
to the attacking army.
Apparently there is a lull in the fight
ing along the Austro-Italian front. af.
ter the recent determined attack bv the
Invading force
Official statements from Rome, how
ever, declare continued advances are
being made on the Carnic plateau,
where the progress is described as slow
but constant.

French, after penetrating the German

In the eastern arena an attack in Litb-

and elsewhere advances by the Russians
were checked. To the west of the upper
' lstula, the German report says in con
elusion, number of Russian positions
were taken yesterday by storm.
The French official statement refers to
severe fighting in the region north Of Ar
ras, repulse of a German attack near

German trenches north of the latter place
Soissons has been bombarded.
There was continuous artillery and in

OFFICERS HAVE FOUND
NO MORE EXPLOSIVES
Commissioner Woods, However. Be
leves That Frank Holt Had
Supply Hidden.

NEW YORK, July s. - Commission
er Woods says his men had been unable
to locate any more of the explosives be-
longing to the late Frank Holt.
The police learned that Holt had
bought 200 sticks of dynamite from a
local concern and that these explosives
contained 40 per cent dynamite In
spector Owen Eagan of the bureau of
combustibles said that the dynamite
found IN Holt 5 trunk here last niobt
was OF the 60 per cent variety. The 10.
llee are investigating this disereDanry
believing it may indicate there is still
another large cache.
An autopsy established the fact that
Holt committed suicide by iumping Il
feet head foremost from an iron bar on
the side of his cell to the concrete floor
while the keepers back was turned.
