DANGER
 N LAkARA MOVIE

"The Beautiful Unknown" the fea- ture picture from the Victor Univer- sal, which is the chief attraction at the Lamara Theater today and to- morrow, is one of the most sensa tional dancing pictures that has ever been exhibited anywhere. Mile. Yona Landowska, a great Polish dancer of a later type than Anna Pavlowa, takes the leading part in the picture performing two of these highly artis tic and classic dances.
 In addition to this the program contains the sixth episode of the EX- ploits of Elaine. the one in which Elaine comes within the power of the Clutching Hand just long enough for him to obtain the services of some scoundrelly physician and perform a blood transfusion operation. Craig Kennedy, the scientific detective of course comes on the scene just in time and by matching his marvelous knowledge against the evidences of the master criminal succeeds in say ing the beautiful heroine from an un- timely end.

Albany. N. T.. Aug. 25.-The proposed
amendment to the state constitution
known as the Young amendment. which
would provide that all voters must be
able to read and write the English Ian
guage, was advanced to the order of fl
nal passage in the constitutional conven-
ton today by a vote of 70 to 81.
A severe attack was made upon the
amendment by Robert F. Wagner, Dem
ocratic leader of the Senate, who was
born in Prussia, as an un-American rem
nant of know nothingism. The foreign
born American has fought our wars,
he has constructed our railroads, he has
developed our commerce, he has built up
our industries Wagner said. In every
phase of our national life he has been
prominent in every sphere of human en-
deavor he has blazed a path of progress
and of glory.

REPORT ON SURRENDER Of THE
0SS0WETz FORTRESS BY RUSSIA

Petrograd, Aug 25.-(Via London. P
M).-In accordance with orders received
from the army authorities, the garrison
of Ossowetz joined the Russian field ar
my on Aug. %, evacuating the fortress
after blowing up the permanent fortifi-
cations, burning the wooden structures
and removing or Gripping the guns. thus
ending year of gallant defence of the
principal crossing of the Bobr river.
War office officials. in commenting on
the surrender of the fortress, pointed out
that it was especially adapted for de-
fence because of the marshes that sur
round it, but that .Iis fact would work
to it's disadvantage when the fortress
was cut off from the army, the ground
being unsuitable for maneuvers and sor-
ties. After the abandonment of the line
of the Bobr, Ossowetz ceased to have
Importance, in the view of the army Off
Gals, and it was regarded as the part
of wisdom to withdraw from it.
Bialystok is said to be still in Russian
hands, but a large part of the railway
from the north and west Is now in the
hands of the Germans, and it is expected
that they will make every effort to ex-
tend their lines toward Grodno. the next
fortress Of Importance in this region.
Meanwhile the Austro-Germans con.
tinue to press upon the TANKS Of the fort
ress Of Brest-Litovsk from the north
and south, and serious battles are devel
oping in the vicinity Of Pischca and
Kovel
The Russian extreme southern flank Is
inactive, but in the far north. on the 9th
er end of the line, there were minor bat
ties on Aug. % in the direction of Jacob
stadt and Dvinisk with alternating sue
cess.
The reception by the Emperor of Mi
chael Vladimirovitch Rodzianko, presi
dent Of the Duma, and repeated sessions
Of the council of ministers, have ELECTED
lively discussions in the corridors Of the
Duma regarding the possibility of the
formation Of a ministry of natioal de.
fence, including representatives Of sew
eral parties in the Duma.

the new nickel batteries invented by
Thomas A. Edison, by which it is hoped
to prevent the escape of chlorine gas in
submarines, was in progress today on
board the submarine XII at the New
York navy yard. The batteries were be-
ing placed in position by an agent of
Mr.. Edison. who was carefully guarded
by employees Of the yard. Chlorine gas
is one of the greatest dangers of under

with them believe that it caused the loss
