west is at more solid deadlock than ever. Are the allies in the west then to remain immobilied while Germany with the main bulk of the armies of the central empire pursues her plans with formidable power in the east? Obviously not. They know that they must conquer in the east before they can win in the west.
 Italy's adhesion, the refitting of the Serbian army and the operations at the Dardanelles have given the allies strong and invaluable beginnings on the southern or middle front.
 Grand Duke Divined Plan.
 It is certain that the scheme for en- |veloping and destroying the grand dukes central armies, now thrust for ward in the salient between East Prus- sian and Galicia. has been long matur- ed. Happily it Is equally certain that the grand duke has long since pene- trated the mind of his antagonists that he foresaw the new possibilities and it not to be taken by surprise. The re- suit of the crown'ng fight for the Pol ish salient must be awaited during the next two months with absorbing ex- citiment.
 If the grand dukes central armies could be enveloped and destroyed, all the rest of the much easier effort would undoubtedly be made to sweep to Kieff and the Black sea, break through the Balkans and join hands with the Turk, now in direct need. It
 would be desperate. but the Germans know that whatever their present cir lcumstances, their situation must be- come desperate unless they do big things soon.
 The Russians could retreat for months steadily, strengthening instead of weakening as they went backward. until they could turn with crushing strength when the enemy was farthest from his basis. What then? We will not answer that question. If the Ger mans fail in their supreme effort in the next few months or weeks they must fail altogether both by land and sea.

London. July 1S.-Germany's plans in their full extent are now displayed with more clearness than at any pre- vious moment The chef enemy is opening at last his grand attempt, not merely to sweep across the whole the ater of eastern Europe, but to envelop and destroy the main part of the czar's armies so as to open the path to Tur- key and Asia This and this alone is to be the main feature of his war plans. The next few months even the next few weeks. will possibly be re- membered as the most important phase of this Armageddon.
 The measure of the allies success at the end. and above all. in the subsc- quent position which this emrire is to hold in the world. will be determined absolutely by the measure of Britain's organized exertions, both with regard 10 material and men between now and the end Of autumn.

 Germany is now opening her su- preme effort. We have long said that Germany's supreme effort when it came would stagger imagination.

EFFORT ID CHECK WALES STRIKE British Government as far from Settle.
 ment of Coal Trouble as Ever.

London, July 17.-The governments efforts to settle the South Wales coal strike have failed. The. miners dele gates after this mornings conference were to have met Walter Runchiman, president of the Board of Trade. This afternoon however the delegatA found it impossible to arrive at decision lead- ing to settlement. Consequently, they returned to Cardiff without meeting Mr. Runciman. The executive commit tee will assemble at Cardiff on Mon- day to reconsider the situation when the coal owners are also to see MT. Runciman. Meanwhile 100000 miners rcmain idle. Serious rioting has oc- cured in parts of the coal fiA'ds and many arrests have been made. The gov, rnment now realizezs that the sit-
 dation Is so serious as to require most delicate handling.

On Serbian Frontier Aus trians Resume Bombard- ment of Belgrade, While Serbians Begin Attack on Semlin and PanScOva
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LONDON, Aug. 15--Having recover ed from the check inflicted on him early in the week by the Russians General von Buelow, commanding that portion of the armys of Field Mar shal won Hindenburg operating west of the river OVinsk, has again taken the offensive according to an official report from Berlin, and had beaten the Russians in battle in the vicinity of Kubisko and pushed them back in a northeastern direction, taking more than two thousand prisoners.
 To the south before Kovno. the Russians, according to the same in formation, made an unsuccessful sor- tie from Kovno, which the Germans are now approaching.
 In the Polish sector, the various German armies are slowly drawing in their lines and are advancing from the northwest, south of Biesth and Litovsk. While they continue to take small groups of prisoners, they make no claim of the capture of artillery and other booty, which the military observers consider a fair indication that Grand Duke Nicholas armies will continue their orderly retreat for a long time to come and will be able to prevent the Germans from detach ing any part of their army for large ventures elsewhere.
 The only evidence of activity out side of Poland and the Baltic pro vinces, is on the Serbian frontier where the bombardment of Belgrade by the Austrians and counter bonn bardments of Semlin and Panscova by the Serbians has been resumed. Ac- cording to a Nish dispatch, the Aus trian attempts to cross the Danube near the Serbian and Rumanian bord- CTS were repulsed, but it is believed by military experts here that region will be scene of the next Austro- German offensive.

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spATcHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The ac- ceptance of the Pan American plan for restoring peace in Mexico is eX- pected by officials here in a few days from General Villa, General Angeles and other leaders in northern Mexico. It became known tonight that under the direction of General Villa and his lieutenants, copies of the peace ap- peal were printed at Juarez and Chihuahua for distribution in every section of Mexico that can be reached.
 So far there is no word as to how General Carranza will receive the ap- peal Indications that the factions are in opposition to outside interference in Mexican affairs was contained in a dispatch carrying the statement Of General Gonzales to newSpapermen in Mexico City last night in which he said he believed the constitutional government would soon be recognized by the United States and the South American countries and in case of would uphold the policies of his firf chief and go to war if necessary without hesitation.
 An interesting development of the day was the report from Fl Paso that General Scott is preparing to enter Mexico and had been issued safe conduct through Villas lines south ward where he planned to seek a conference with General Obregon.

IAssoc1ArEp rnnss pIspArcnl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The state department made public the reply of the United States rejecting the views sent forth by the Austro- Hungarian government in d recent note contend ing the eXpurtatiOn of war material from America to Austria's enemies Is being conducted on a scale as to be not in consonance with the definition of neutrality.
 Though friendly in tone the note natlv denies the contentious and re- calls that that country and Germany furnished munitions of war to Great Britain in the Boer war When Eng lands enemies could not import such supplies.
 It insisted the American government was pursuing a strictly neutral course and adnering to the principle upon which it would depend for munitions in the markets of the world in case of an attack by a foreign power.
 Attention is directed to the fact that Austria Hungary and Germany before the war produced a great surplus of war munitions and sold them through out. the world especially to the bellig erents" and never during that period did either of them suggest or apply the principle now advocated by the imper- ial royal government"

Ills record in the racing game had been good one, with few victories but only because he never seemed able to pursuade anybody to recognize his skill with a real motorcycle. He has ridden the discarded wrecks of several motorcycle shops in d dozen hard @rinds. His work in the Fl Paso to Phoenix race last fall, up to the time of his smash-up at Canutillo, was little short of sensational.

 Motorcyclists and members of The Republican force will take part in the funeral ceremonies, which will be an nounced later
 They will probably be held tomorrow, and the burial will be here.
 Motorcycle accidents, with Gerig's name connected with them have not been uncommon. He was called reck- less. because he took so many more chances than the ordinary rider. but his average of spills was conspicuously low And hisi end came through no access of reeklessness on his own part, but through an unavoidable accident.
 No sort of motorcycle luck-bad luck ever got Bill down for long His friends recall but one occasion on which spill" resulted in notable calmness of his merry disposition. That was after the fall near Mesa some months ago. when Lee Holt, a fellow empIoye was badly injured The two boys were riding tandem, when the machine broke down, and threw them. For days after, Gerig was glum, and blue over his pals hurt.
 The Republican force is sincerely sorry for the parents of the dead rider The entire staff will attend in a body. the simple services that will mark Wild Bills passing. Uutil after the funeral the flag at the Republican will be at half mast.
