Turkey is better prepared than

the attacks have the least effect on

AUSTRIANs QUIT FRONTIER
Attempted a Lightning Advance In
Two Directions From czernowitx,
But Failed.

Petrograd, via London.-Chotin dis.
patches tell Of the development and
failure of extensive Austrian opera
tions In Bukowina, nea the Russian
frontier, by which the Austrians
hoped to achieve a coup similar to the
German feat OF cutting off the Rus
sian army corps during the last adj
vance into East Prussia.
The Austrians, It is said, attempted
a lightning advance In two directions
from Czernowitz. The first, striking
northward, attempted an encircling
maneuver, while the other proceeded
direct to Chotin, across the Russian
border. Thus, exerting pressure from
the main forces. Three and one-half
Austrian columns were employed in
these maneuvers.
The preliminary northward move.
ment OF the first Austrian group Ye-
pulsed the Russians occupying SADIE
gura. a village six miles north OF Ger
nowitz. and then moved on two paral-
lei roads toward the Russian frontier.
In the meantime the second group
reached a point on the right bank Of
the Dniester, seven miles from the
Russian border. Thence an Austrian
cavalry brigade led an attack on Cho-
tin. where, according to reports, Rus
sian cavalry In smaller numbers than
the Austrians, engaged them in a
fierce battle, driving the Austrfans
from the frontier.
Despite the failure of the direct at
tack oil Chotin. the Austrians con
tinued to develop the encircling move
ment, attacking the Russian fortifica-
tons covering the line on the Dneister
near Zale Szcysky. Although the Aus
TRAN offensive In this region is still
continuing, 1t Is regarded here, in view
Of the retreat OF the other group from
Chotin. that the success Of the venture
Is not likely.

Issues Protest Against the Detention
Of Hamburg,American

Washington.-Germany has protest,
ed to the United States against deten.
tion of the neutrality-suspicious. liner
Odenwald at San Juan, Porto Rico, un-
der the neutrality regulations.
The German embassy issued this
statement:
1.-THE German embassy has request
ed the state department to investigate
the case OF the Odenwald. The cap
tain OF this steamer had asked for
clearance papers from Hamburg and
the steamer was searched by order
from Washington, twice, thoroughly by
customs house authorities. The result
OF tho search having been satisfactory,
the captain vas promised clearance
papers.
After having been kept waiting for
three days the captain believed that
the situation forced him to put to sea,
d%isregarding the rules Of the harbor,
because otherwise the assembling Of
cruisers OF the enemy, which had been
informed OF his intention, would have
involved the inevitable loss of his ship.
When the Odenwald tried to leave
sharp fire was Immediately directed
against her from Moro Castle, with
out the blind warning shot having
been fired. which Is usual, according
to international rules.
The fire was continued until three
minutes after the machines of the
Odenwald had been put on full steam
backwards. 1t Is attributed to a lucky
chance by this attack no human life
was lost"
United States officials believed the
Odenwald was about to violate the leu.

seas as a converted cruiser. A libel
against her under the new neutrality

WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON
Elected Mayor of Chicago BY An Es-
timated Plurality Of
10000.

~Chicago,-William Hale Thompson
was elected mayor of Chicago by an
estimated plurality of 10000. Returns
from 1,400 precincts out of 1866 indi-
Gated that he had carried the entire
Republican city ticket to victory.
Women voted for the first time at a
mayoralty election in Chicago, and in
complete returns showed that the rel
alive percentages of men and women
received by Thompson and Robert
Sweitzer, the defeated Democratic can
didate, were approximately the same.
About IS per cent Of the three-quar-
tiers of a million voters registered were
cast.
Some wards hitherto considered
strongly Democratic were carried by
the Republican candidate, and Sweitz-
er's own precinct, in the heart OF n
Of one Of the West Side Democratic
strongholds, was carried by Thompson
by 900 to 228.
Political writer's were divided as to
the cause Of the Republicans sweep
ing victory In an election expected to
be close. In an interview Mayor Car.
ter Harrison, who was defeated when
he sought to be renominated for a
sixth term, declined to say how he
would vote, although the Harrisons
have been Democratic leaders in Chi
cago for generations. Many were In
clined to believe this indicated Harri-
o followers would cast their votes
for Thompson.

SIX WEEKS SUPPLY ON HAND
O%yestuffs Stock About Exhausted-A
Gloomy View Of the Textile
Industry.

Westinghouse gloomy view Of the
immediate future OF the American tex.
tile industry was presented at the
White House and the state department
by a committee representing 400 mills.
headed by former Representative
Metz of New York.
Unless some relaxation Of the Brit
ish blockade Is obtained and German
dyestuffs reach them within six weeks
time. Mr.. Metz declared, 270 mills will
be forced to close and 200, 600 opera
tives be thrown out of work.
Government officials held out no
great hope to the textile men. The
situation Is complicated in the extreme
and apparently there Is little prospect
OF framing an agreement satisfactory
to both Great Britain and Germany.
Under n previous agreement with
Germany ships carrying American cot
ton to German ports were permitted to
bring back dyestuffs. The new Brit
ish order, however, has struck ut this
traffic In both directions, and officials
were at a loss for a new plan under
which the German chemicals could be
obtained.
The textile representatives called ut
the German embassy after their con
ferences with government officials and
the ambassador, Count Won Bernstorff,
suggested that there would be no fur.
Their trouble about dyestuffs shipments
II they could get the United States to
threaten an embargo on exports OF war
supplies TO Great Britain unless inter
ference with trade between America
and Germany In foodstuffs. cotton and
other non-contrahand goods ceased.
Fhe ambassador reiterated the re-
cent declaration of the Berlin foreign
office OF Germany's willingness to dis
continue the sinking without notice by
submarines of British merchantmen If
Great Britain would stop molesting
non-Contraband Cargoes consigned to
German civilians.
