BERLIN, (via The Hasue), Aug. Z.
Two Russian armies numbering
more than 100000 men are two-thirds
surrounded in the angle formed by tho
Bug and vistuIa rivers. German forces
are hammerine in from north and
south Of Warsaw in determined ef-
fort to close the trap.
Dispatches from the front tonight
, reported that General Heftz, COM
manding the right wing Of General
Won GilIwitz's forces has reached the
! Bug near its confluence with the Narew
and has begun an attempt to
cross the river to attack the Russian
flank. His attacks were preceded by
| heavy bombardment of The Russian
| positions for several miles along the
river front.
| Southwest Of Warsaw, the Germans
who crossed the Vistula a week ago
are smashing their way through hast
| lily constructed Russian trenches to-
ward the Warsaw-SiedIce railway
Their advance not only menaces the
Russian forces that retreated from
Warsaw, but threatens to pierce the
Russian lines between Praga and the
h,gion north Of Ivansorod.
n military circles it was predicted
tonight that the Russians within twen-
| ty-four\aours will evacuate the whole
| district H the Bug-Vfstula angle to
save their>ermies from capture. Part
! Of the Slav \<orce that remained In
Praga and bohsbarded Warsaw from
the east bank of>the Vistula already
has begun retreat.
While news Of the capture Of Riga
and Of the Russian fortress Of kovno
! is expected at any monent, the latest
official dispatches do not confirm un-
official advices declaring the Germans
are about to enter both cities. The
official bulletin from the war office this
| afternoon reported that progress was
being made towards the west front Of
kovno and that 500 prisoners had
been taken, but contained no mention
Of the Riga operations.
i Some disappointment was felt here
at the announcement that less than
$1,000 Russian prisoners were taken
in the Joint operations that led to the
capture Of Warsaw and Ivaneorod.
Tho. military critics explained, how
ever, that the destruction Of the WIS.,
tuIa bridges had ImpeGed the pursuit
Of the Warsaw garrison, and express
ed hope that the ring now being
drawn around the Warsaw district
will result in greater captures.
At no point in the long battle line
are the Russians now attempting c
serious stand, excepting on small
sector north Of Ivangorod. On both
the northern and southern sides Of the
Warsaw salient, the sIavs are fighting
desperately, but steadily giving
ground, their object apparently beino
only to hold back the Germans until
the armies in the Warsaw salient can
escape.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Cotton in
terests will resume urgent efforts
early next week, their representatives
. said tonight, to expedite reply to
the British refusal to cease interfer;
ence with American shipping to neu-
trail ports.
It was admitted that the covert
threat will be made of a shift in the
cotton growing states from admins
tration support at the next national
election unless there are speedy ac-
complishments along the line de.
manded. The charge will be made
that Great Brftain's attitude is die
tated by the spinners, who are said
to be hopeful of pi}ing up cotton to
! such an extent in American ware
houses as to ensure an enormous sup
ply at bedrock prices by the wars
end.
Lacking strenuous effort by the
Washington government, it was as
serted an energetic public campaign
would be launched in the immediate
future to inform the country concern
ing the damage it is claimed the de-
lay is inflicting on the entire south.
One of the two things is insisted:
Abandonment by the British of
their seizure Of cotton cargoes or an
extra session of congress to declare
an embargo on all shipments to the
allies.
Gentieman's Agreemtnt.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA gentle
mems agreement" probably will be en-
tered into between Great Britain and
the United States. permitting the re-
sumption of trade between exporters
and importers of this country and
neutral European countries.
This Is the con nclusion drawn by per-
sons who have visited state depart
ment officials in the last few days
for the purpose Of discussing the Brit
ish situation.
Great Britain is determined to de-
fend its orders in council to the last
extreme. The United States Is equally
determined not to concede that those
orders are in accord with the recog-
nized principles Of international law.
On the differences which have al
ready arisen the two countries are not
likely to agree during the course of
the war, and, is indicated, these diff

THE GRAIN SUPPLY.
PARIS, Aug. THE chamber OF
deputies by vote Of Az to 1a tonight
adopted a bill authorizing the govern
ment to take over all stocks Of wheat,
oats and corn for equitable dIstribu-
tion at reasonable prices.
Deputies who supported the bill ex-
pressed fear that extravaganza In the
use Of cereals during the coming year
MIGHT exhaust the nations supply
This 10 largely due, they said, to the
fact that millions o. bushels Of wheat
oats and corn raised In the northern
departments will be harvested by the
Germans who occupy that part OF
France this year.
The department Of agriculture fur

vested by the Germans on French soil

months.

Educational Tbrills in Submarine No.
 tiOn Pictures.

The modern school boy and school girl have associated tedium and dull- ness with school and learning for so long that the very thought that any thing educational or instructive can at the same time be amusing and thrilling will be thoroughly disbeliev- ed. Of recent years the motion pie ture industry has been pointing the way to method of education that is vivid and fascinating. In the Will llamson submarine motion pictures which the Universal Motion pictures will present at the A-Muse-U on We'd nesday. May 18th, educational matter is presented in a way that is often amusing and most of the time thrill ing. This film has been revelation to teachers as to the value of motion pictures as means of imparting knowledge.
 The wonderful adventures of the Williamson brothers were photo graphed in the clear waters of the Bahama islands. They were made possible by the recently perfected Williamson submarine tube doW~l NIti1u luS piiOtCSoI diiISi Sail oCoSSltN until he is from fifty to a hundred feet below the surface of the water In a submerged photographic cham Der at the bottom of this tube, the camera man sits in comparative com fort and turns the crank while ocear scenes and all kinds of marine life go slowly past.
 Many sorts of strange fish seen al home, queer animals that look like vegetation Gin reality coral forma tions), great man-eating sharks bat tling for food, with final thrilling fight between man and shark fol the climax-these are a few features of the most sensational motion pic. lures ever shown. Owing to the al most prohibitive rental on this film it is out of the question to show il more than one day, so the A-Muse-U will run a continuous show from a. m. to ii D. m on Wednesday.

FEW JURIES IMPOSE THE DEATH PENALTY
Evident That Only in Extreme Cases Will Arkansas .uries Sentence
 to Death.

Little Rock, May S.-Juries in crim- lnal courts throughout the state are taking advantage of the act permit ting verdict of execution or life imprisonment, in capital cases.
 Up to three months ago, juries had no discretion in fixing the punish ment in capital cases, and whenever verdict of first degree murder or criminal assault was returned, the death penalty was the sentence in- posed.
 The spring terms of criminal divi- sions of circuits courts held since the legislature adjourned have developed number of cases in which convic- tions of capital cases were obtained, but in nearly every instance the juries assessed the punishment at life inn prisonment instead of death.
 It is evident from the records al- ready made that only in extreme cases will the death penalty be imposed.
