When the Transport Royal Ed
wards Sunk bya Ger
man Submarine.
CRISIS is NOT REACHED
In Land Fighting and Russian
Armies Are Not Yet AS
sured of Safety.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE British
Admiralty's record of transporting
creating numbers of troops to the
various fighting zones without the
loss of life so far as recorded OF
ficially hes been broken after more
than a year of war. The TORPEDO OF
a submarine has at last found the
mark and the transport Royal Ed
ward has gone to the bottom in the
Aegean sea with loss Of life which
may reach 1000. The brief admir-
atty announcement shows that the
Royal Edward was engaged in trans
porting troops to the Dardanelles
front where Austrians and New
Zealanders have been largely en-
ployed.
In the land fighting crisis has
not been reached in the present
stage OF the eastern campaign.
able to assure the safety of MS
armies until the meanace presented
by the operation of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg in Courland is re-
moved. In the Bausk district OF
ICouland the German army has been
driven back towards the IA
river. while Kovno is still stemmlng
the German tide. The chief struggle.
however, centers In the region
the recent success OF Russian resist
ance. Between the Narew and the
Bug the German drive evidently is
making some Roadway although Pc
trograd claims that attacks OF tne
invaders in this region have been
repulsed. Along the middle Bug the
Austrians and Germans have forced
several crossing.
From the standpoint of the entente
allies the near eastern situation is
clearing with the assertion officially
inspired from Nish that serbia's attt-
settlement must be more general than
| a mere rectiacation of frontiers in one
locality. Former Premier Venizelos
having been summoned by King Con
stantine is expected to be once more
in the saddle tomorrow. Roumania IS
becoming more determined In It's re-
fusal to permit passage Of munitions
to Turkey which country Is reported
to be showing concern over the attt-
Itude of Bulgaria.

Brutal Treatment is Accorded

from the Prison.

MARIETTA, Ga, Aug. 17.-Leo NJ.
Frank. serving a life term for the
murder of Mary Phagan. the Atlanta
factory girl, and who was taken from
the prison farm at Milledgeville last
might. was lynched two miles east of
here today by the armed party which
took him. He was hanged to a tree:
Frank was brought 100 miles from
the prison farm to point almost
within sight of the former hon1e of
Mary Phagan. No shots were FREQ.
Franks body, barefooted and claa
only in prison trousers and shirts,
was found at $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing. 1T is believed he was lynched
about daylight.
Several automobiles well loaded,
left here in the direction of Milledge-
Vile last night After the return of
some of the machines today. officers
started out on the road which they be-
ileved the AUTOMOBILES had Travelled.
They had gone OILY two miles when
they saw the body OF Frank noe more
than 1 so yards from the roadside.
News that the body had been
found spread rapidly and within
short time hundreds of persons were
crowdine to the scene.
tits believed that the stop at the
bridge over Little river. near Eaton
ton, when the armed party talked
loudly and fired shots. was a ruse to
DELAY pursuers. The vicinity of the
bridge was thoroughly searcssed and
at the time the search was being
made 1t is probable Frank already
had met death.
Franks body was cut Gown at
10:55 o'clock, but not until one OF
the crowd had advocated muttlatlon
of the body Newton A. Morris, for
mer superior court Judge, pleaded
with the throng to allow an inquest
to take its proper course. A vote
was suggested and taken. It was
Overwhelmingly in favor of allowing
the coroner to take charge OF the
body. The inquest was set for
O'Clock. At the suggestion of Mr.. Nor
ris the body was taken from the IN
dertaker's wagon and put into an au-
tomobile on the outskirts of the town
The automobile started toward At
1anta. Judge Morris telephoned
from Smyrna to the AtIansa uncer-
taker to meet the automobile and
take charge of the body.
