LOCATE GAS 0N 1RIMBLE PLACE
 IN PAY QUANTITY
Flow From Six-Inch Well Will Be Utilized to Oper-
 ate Gin.

A strong flow of gas was struck on the D. l.. Trimble farm yesterday and the gas will be utilized for fuel in operating machinery on the place.
 Gas has been found on several oc- casion on the Trimble place, causing Mr Trimble to decide, some months ago. to sink a large well. He began boring recently with a six-inch pipe. Yesterday. at depth of 26 feet, there was a blowout, indicating gas had been struck.
 Inasmuch as none of the other wells have ceased flowing. MT. Trim ble believes he has a pretty good sup ply of natural gas. This opinion is also borne by R. M. Galbraith, who has made a study of conditions ob- taining in gas and oil fields. Mr. Calbraith is confident that the pocket indicates the presence of gas in larger quantity: that. in fact. gas and oil are to be found in paying quanti- ty here.
 Frceland brothers experienced oil men who are drilling the test well on tho Rutherford place, are equally confident that oil exists, and that their well must be driven only to a greater depth to strike the pool.

Take Railroad Junction Near Ostrov and Fort
 at Georgieysk.
REPULSE RUSSIAN
 ATTACKS AT RIGA
Russians Carrying on Desperate Of. fenSive in Effort to Save Baltic Port, Now Almost Deserted by
 Civil Populations.

London, Aug. 11-Capture by the Germans of the important railroad junction south of Ostrov, the storm ing of Fort Benjaminow, east of Novo Georgicvsk, heavy operations under the personal command of von Hindenberg against Riga, and the continued retreat of the entire Rus sian line from Lomza south to Novo Georgievsk, is reported by Berlin to- night.
 It is semi-officially admitted in Pet rograd that preparations are under way for the evacuation of Kovno, the fortress on the extreme north of the Russian second line, on which the Russian right wing had intended to rest in the new defensive.
 The Germans have occupied the strategically important village of Piple, on the left bank of the Niemen, from which point the heavy guns they have brought up command the inner ring of forts at Kovno, six miles away. The Russiansxhave made he- roic and sustained efforts to dislodge the Germans, but they have organized their position so firmly that, despite heavy losses, they have been able to hold their ground and keep up their battering of Kovno.
 kOvnO Only Obstacle.
 Kovno is the principal obstacle~-t to a German advance on Wilma, the i'm portant town on the Petrograd rail- road at which the Germans are strik- ing. In view of the danger at Kov- no, the population of Wilma is report ed to be leaving the city.
 In the fightign around Kovno. the Germans claim to have increased the number of prisoners taken since Sun day to 2.115, and to have taken 16 machine guns.
 Important developments are ex- pected in the fighting before Riga within the next few days. That the German operations there are of the most serious character is indicated l by the presence Of Field Marshal von l Hindenberg himself. At the moment, the Russians are carrying on vigor- | ous offensive in hope of saving the | city. Berlin reports that the Russian l attacks have been repulsed. | German warships are active out side the gulf of Riga, and it is be- 1 lieved that the explanation of the Russian strong land attacks is to be found in the fact that some of their war vessels have been trapped in the harbor. The city itself is almost de- serted and all materials of military value have long since been removed.
 Slavs Quit Fortress. | The Russians evacuated the for tress of Benjaminow, leaving only a :, rear guard to face the Germans storming party. Practically all tht Russians in the sector about Novc Georgievsk have not withdrawn in. side the fortress, which is under siege.
 The German movement south o1 Warsaw continues slow, but Berlil claims steady progress is being made

 GERMANS ADVANCE
Further Gains Arounl Ver- dun Achieved by Grown

London, Aug. 11.-A terrific bonn bardment with high explosives and asphyXiating shells, followed by an infantry attack in which at least three regiments took part, has eH- abled the Germans to make further gains around Verdun.
 Following a report this afternoon of violent cannOnading of the French positions east of the Vienna -ChateauBinarville road, the French war office tonight described heavy attack along the French front be- | tween the Binarville road. Vienna-le- Chateau an dthe ravine of Houyvette, by large forces of German infantry, which, at the center, succeeded in penetrating the defending lines. The attack was made at daybreak and the fighting continued all day, the French reporting that with the exception of a section of their first line of ] trenches, the Germans have been dis lodged and a number of prisoners taken.
 | Another German attack further to the east, in the direction of Fotaine aux Charmes, was completely repuls- ed. Berlin makes no mention of any of this fighting, merely reporting the repulse of hand grenade attack north of Souchez and some skirmish- ing near Rheims.
 | A heavy cannonading in the VOs- ges agai.st their lines and Filsen-
 fuerst position is reported by the French. while Berlin claims the re- pulse of French attacks in thls To- cality.

ON WARSHIP TRHU THE GERMAN ZONE
Battleship, Conveyed by DestrOyers, Brought Immense Fortune to Hali. fax. Whence Special Train Gen.
 veyed It to Gotham.

New York Aug. 11-A special train
 carrying $52,000,OOO worth of gold
 and securities which had been ship
 ped by the Bank of England from
 London by the way of Halifax, N.
 s., 10 this city, arrived here today.
 The train was composed of several steel cars and was guarded by 40
 armed men.
 Of the total shipment $35,OO0, ,OOO
 was believed to be in the form of American double eagles The weight
 of the gold shipment was about 75 tons. It was said to be the largest shipment Of gold ever sent across the Atlantic ocean in one vessel. It was brought over in a Britis n battleship. which was conveyed through the war zone and across the ocean by a cruiser and a flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers to guard against an attack of German supma- rines. The cost of transferring it from London to New York was esti-
 mated today to have been $250,000 It was said that the British battle
 ship brought over not only the $52,- 900 000 in gold and securities for New York, but also a shipment of gold destined for Canada whose treasury recent sent gold amounting to $135,- 0O0.0or to New York.
 Elaborate precautions were taken in sending this great staipn ent of gold to prevent the German secret service from discovering the plan or route for forwarding it. At Halifax. it was delivered into the custody of the American Express company The
 route over which the train proceeded from Bangor, Me-, to New York, was kent secret.
 Robert B. M Cowle, vice rresi-
 dent and general manager of the
 ms rican Express company. said thai the transfer was the greatest risk
 ever taken by an express company.
 Eight policemen were sent to meet the train here and guarded the gold until it was delivered at the Sub tree sury.
 J. P. Morgan & company, of this city were the consignees. The pur- pose of the transfer Of the gold was understood to be to reinforce British
 credit here and to improve tn" ex- change situation at the English pound sterling has depreciared of late. The
 securities aro presumed to be Amer ican bonds. to he uced 9s the basis for further advances to the British
 government.

None of the Three British Replies Responsive to
 First Demand.
GROWTH U. $. TRADE

England Practically to Be Told She Has Violated Law with Premedtta. ton, and Has Admitted This to
 Be the Truth.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The reply of the United States to the three notes of Great Britain. which seek to justi- fv her violations of the rights of American and neutral shipping. has been finished It. will be read bv the president on his return and will be exnlained by Secretary of State Ian sing at the cabinet meeting on frl- day.
 The reply makes five important points. It maintains:
 That the United States has never blockaded a neutral port. or suhscr,o- cd tc the pr'ncinle that such block ade is or could be, justifiable under international law. That Great Britain's contention that relations and the eXigencies of war con modify the accepted rules nl blockade, and consequently the rights of neutral shipping. is absolutely un- tenable under international law. That when Great Britain. at the heoinnine of the war forced such na- lions as Holland and the ScandlnaV- ian countries to agree to nOn-re- exnort embargo. she ipso facto admlt- ted that it was the only remedy 1n law she had again the re-export o' American products after delivery al the ports of neutrals That when the embargo failed ano nroducts of neutral countries began +o reach "eremv country" Great Brit ain established by order in council. limited blockade and extended it es
 pecially to Dutch and Scandinavia rorts It is shown under this heat that this blow affected American commerce more seriously than tha of any other country. :
 That Great Rritnin's contention tn" l American commerce with the world ,n snite of the blockade, has increas ] cd is irrelevant and. in fact. has m bearing on the diplomatic issues m 1 volved.

Amsterdam, Aug 1.-The Frankfurt ter Zeitung makes the declaration that the placing of cotton on the con traband list, as is proposed in Eng land, will not solve the problem for the allies, as in the present advanced stage of Germany's technical science no cotton whatever is used for wal purposes.
