Petrograd, Aug. 3:-Three hun
dred thousand Germans under Gen
eral Won GaIlwitz have begun a ter
rife drive southwark in an attempt
to cut the Warsaw-P Petrograd rail-
way by crossing the river Bug at
Vyskof, thirty miles northeast of
Warsaw.
Their aim is to seize the railway
at Tlusez, twenty miles northeast of
Warsaw and surround part of the
Russian army still holding the posi-
tion around Warsaw. Won Gallwitz
is equipped with heavy guns of all
calibres and has been supplied with
fresh troops, presumably from the
western battlefront. He evidently
has been ordered to batter in by
quick smashing blows the northern
defenses to the capital and force the
city's fall without further delay.
The war Office declared today that
the Russian positions along the Bug
near Vyskof are good and that there
are no grounds for believing the Ger
mans can crush their way through to
the Warsaw-P railway by a
short campaign On the contrary it
was declared possible that Russian
stamina may yet prove match to the
enemy's superiority in weight of
guns and metal.

Paris, Aug. 3:-Around Souchez
and in the Vosges the Germans lost
heavily in repeated attacks against
French trenches throughout yester-
day and last night Every assault
was -epulsed. according to the Off

this afteHloon-
scissors was bombarded during
the night with no great damage. At
several other points along the valley
of the Aisne the German artillery
was active. Further east in the Ar
gonne the enemy launched unsuc-
eessful attempts to regain ground
previously taken by the French.
On the Meuse heights Eparges was
heavily bombarded by the Germans,
but without result.
A sure sign that France antici-
pates long war and at least another
winter of trench fighting is seen in
the fact that the army is now tax
ing a vacation" Trains arriving to-

NO BIDDERS ON PARK
OR STREET BONDS
Aldermen in Session Last Night
Are at Loss as to Where the
Difficulty Lies.

There were no bidders upon the
bonds yesterday. Aldermen In ses-
sion last night were at loss to know
what the difficulty was. One sug-
gested that 1t might be due to the
resignation of Comptroller William
D. Voorhees,, but assurance was given
that such was not the case. Today
City Treasurer James A. Rhodes
stated that three prospective bond
buyers had called him on the tele-
phone yesterday afternoon and in
formed him that they did not care to
bid on the city's bonds at this par
ticular time because of an over
slackness in the bond market. They
gave expressions of belief that mat
ters would no doubt improve In the
course of few days when the note
making between America and Ger
many and England was In more
settled condition.
At the conclusion of a regular
session of the Board of Aldermen
last night the question was asked if
it would not be we'll to have Treas
urer Rhodes readvertise for bids. 1t
was announced that bids had been
scheduled for yesterday for $4,000
worth of public park bonds and
$13S,000 worth of street improve
ment bonds, but none were received.
Alderman William G. Wilson ask
ed If 1t was not necessary to take
immediate steps to readvertise. He
also asked if the report of MIR. Voor-
hees' resignation had not had some
thing to do with a refusal to bid on
the city's bonds. He was promptly
informed by Alderman-at-large w.
Guy Weaver that Mr.. Voorhees, had
thought of resigning and had even
gone SO far as to write out his resig-
nation, but he had now reconsidered
and 1t was hoped among his friends
that he would soon return and take
up his municipal and other duties.
Mr.. Wilson said the resignation
might have some bearing, though he
knew nothing more about it than he
had read In the paper. Alderman
John ]. Clark shrugged his shoulders
and professed to know nothing about
such a resignation. Mr.. Weaver and
others contended that the resigna-
ton had no bearing upon the refusal
of bond buyers to bid.
Mr.. Rhodes spoke encoupagingly
about the sale of the bonds in ques
ton in short time. He believed, In
accordance with expressions from
bond brokers, that the market would
be improved in few days.

Contracts for paving one block on
Front street and for curbing a por-
tion of Compton avenue were award

vile street, for paving Convery
place and for paving Gordon street,

nue. was finally passed and action
was taken upon number of ether
subjects.
Liddle e Pfeiffer was the lowest
bidder upon the work of placing a
concrete pavement Non Front street,
between Market and Gordon streets.
When bids were first received, some
doubt was expressed concerning
making the award to that firm. 1t
wa afterwards decided to let the
contract to Liddle & Pfeiffer, just as
soon as notice of assessments could
be given.
In view of the fact that Graham
& McKeon filed the lowest bid for
the contract of curbing Compton
avenue, resolution was unanimous
ly adopted to award that curbing
contract to this firm.
Neys Lybeck filed petition for
having Fox Hill road curbed. 1t
was referred to the committee on
streets and sewers. Others referred

lows; For extending a sewer in Ne
villo street 800 feet west from No. s
school; for paving Convery place,

They were found at the verge of a
nervous breakdown when firemen,
responding to still alarm, arrived
from the Protection Hook and Lad
der Company's fire house shortly az

Members of the Board of Alder
men and other city officials who
gathered in city hall for a meeting
of the council last night, were shak-
en- by some of the loud peals OF
thunder which roared about the
building for several minutes short
ly before o'clock. The electrical
storm was held to be one Of the most
severe that has swept this section in
some time. City Electrician Jay B.
FRANKIE was constantly on the watch
to note that the fire alarm system
remained in working order. Fire
men stood by in some of the fire
houses in case that lightning should
strike and cause fires.
A transformer In front of the Dit
mas theatre, almost adjoining the
Lincoln and Protection fire house,
was struck, extinguishing all Of the

the theatrical performance under
way in any manner as the current to
the operating machines was not cut
off. The operators continued to

play as though nothing had happened

generally accepted and no further

AS is customary during a heavy

ANGLO-AMER|CAN
SITUATION SERIOUS
Less Satisfactory Than Ger
man-AmeriCan Matters -
Plan a Strong Note Soon.
Special by United Press Wire.

Special by United Press Wire.
Washington, Aug. 3:-Ameriea' s
next note to Great Britain win be
the most important the former has
written since the war began, diplo-
mats said today. On it will depend,
it was pointed out, not only Ameri-
cas- relations with Great Britain,
but with Germany, too.
Though it had not yet been made
public officially, it was known the
British communication fatty refused
to recognize the right claimed by the
United States concerning American
shipping on the high seas.
The Anglo-American situation was
considered less satisfactorily than
the German-American situation, 1t
was conceded by men close to the
administration.
Germany, they said, has not Off
cially acceded to Americas marine
warfare demands, but in actual prac-
tice she has eonformed to them. 1t
was the general opinion that this
was only pending the outcome of the
Anglo-American negotiations.
An ultimatum or message forci-
BILE enough to amount practically. to
one is what strong contingent of
American exporters want from Presi-
dent Wilson in answer to Great
Britain's refusal of her modification
Of her order in council.
Expressions here today by repre-
sentatives of those interests left no
doubt that combined effort will be
made to force the chief executives
hand not only with view to free
dom of the seas for their shipments,
but to accomplishing it in the short
est possible manner.
With the latest British note not
yet officially made public, exporters
plans were not fully formulated in
detail, but of their general purport
there was no question.
The cotton growers are the strong
est single group behind the move
ment; the meat packers next. With
the interests behind them Individual
ly smaller, but formidable in the ag-
gregate, representatives professed
confidence Of putting their program
through one way or the other. Their
plan in brief is to demand that the
allies cease all interference with
their shipments to neutral European
ports In the event of refusal they
call for an extra session of congress
to put an embargo on American ship
ments of all kinds to any of the al
| lied nations.
| The British notes are understood to
defend the seizures of American ships
as complying with principles Of inter
national law as laid down by the Unit
ed States In the civil war and quotes
precedents. Action by the British prize
| courts should be awaited before COM
piaint is made. and unlawful interfer-
ence is denied.
Germany's note is a reply to the last
American note on the sinking OF the
American ship William P Frye by the
auxiliary cruiser Prinz Ettel Friedrich.
It is understood that Germany insists
on the case going TO prize court

Latins to Aid United States.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The imminence
of the action In Mexico promised by
President Wilson in his statement OF
two months ago is definitely foreshad-
owed by Secretary of State Lansing S
announcement that he will In a few
days discuss the Mexican situation
with the diplomatic representatives OF
six Latin American governments.
For some time state department Off
ctals have been authorizing the state
ment that some action would be taken
by the administration with reference to
the situation in Mexico. The calling In
Of the six Latin-American ENJOYS as
representatives of the entire group Is
regarded here as the first move toward
putting into effect such course of ac-
ton as the president has decided on.
While 1t Is not doubted that President
Wilson has made up his mind as to his
next step in Mexico. the conference at
the state department next Thursday Is
expected to be in the nature of con
sultation, having for its object the en-
llstment of the cooperation of the gov
ernments of the other American repub-
lies tn the United States plan.
