CAR GOES TO THE FRONT
Arrival Of Emperor Was Signal for
Renewed Russian Offensive
West of Warsaw.

Acknowledgements Nicholas arrival
at the front was the signal for a re.
newed Russian offensive directly west
of Warsaw, according to an official
statement, which declares the Musco-
vite armies have crossed the Bzura
river and captured German positions.
This, in the opinion of military ex.
perts, will, if the Russians have sui.
fcient forces at their disposal, break
the deadlock in the battle in Central
Poland, since it threatens Gen. Won
H~indenburg's flank, which is engaged
in the violent struggle Immediately
to the southwest In an effort to break
down the Russian defensive in the re.
gion of Borjimow.
The Russians appear, according to
Petrograd reports, to have crossed the
Bzura near its junction with the Wis
tula, and, working southwark, to have
taken part Of the German position near
Dakhova, south of Sochaczew, which
was the point at which the Germans
made their original attempt to breaI
the Warsaw line.

Some part of the Prussian guards were

Under the eyes OF the car the Rus.
SLAMS gained a signal success. Not only
were the German attacks repulsed

themselves took the offensive, struck
the Germans left flank, crossed the

the Germans across the BzWa at Oak

PEABODY EDUCATIONAL BOARD
MAKES NO CHARGE TO
THE STATE.
vALUELESS AS COLLATERAL
Bonds We're Issued BY the state Dur.
ing the ThIrties and Forties.
Value Estimated to BE Near
. Million Dollars.


After lying r~epudiated by the state
Of Mississippi for 70-odd years, and
valueless as collateral or legal tender.
the old bonds issued back in the days
OF Runnells, Quitman, FoOte and their
contemporaries, and repudiated dur
ing the administration Of Gov. Nc
Mutt, have been returned to the state
without cost by the holders. These
bonds are the celebrated Union and
Planters Bank bonds" issued by the
state during the latter thirties or ear
ly f~orties, as a part OF the adopted fis'
cal policy Of the state, and r~epudiated
during the term Of office OF Gov. Nc
Mutt.
During all these years a consider.
able block Of these re%pudiated bonds
have been held by the Peabody educa'
tiona board of trustees, amounting In
value to about a million dollars. &C.
cording to general understanding.
Some two years or more ago Gov.

cannon Of the University Of Missis-
cAPPi oAu Cdpt. AHOuuuS II. riohhiiu VI
Columbus, = member Of the board OF
university and college trustees, took
up with the Peabody trustees the sub
ject Of securing surrender or return
Of these bonds to the state.
A few months ago these same Off
cials made a special trip to New York
and had a hearing before the Peabody
trustees.
The result Of these negotiations is
that the bonds have been placed in
the custody of the treasurer Of the
University of Mississippi, without cost
to the state. and Gov. Brewer has been
SO notified through a letter which he
has just received from Capt. Frank
lin.
