announced his intention OF continuing
his military campaign to crush his
adversaries.
General CarranZa has all along de-
clined to accept General Villas peace
overtures as well as suggestions of
foreign mediators IN Mexco's inter
nal troubles. His attitude, as ex-
pressed to the United States, there

restoration of peace in Mexico is re-
cogniZed by officials Carranza prob

can hope for the moral support of
the United States he must adopt

Details Are Meagre.

BERLIN, June 24.-The details of
the taking of Lemberg are still mea.
gre, but it is known that the Rus
slams fought desperately to the end
despite the hopelessness of the sit,
uation.
Before Lemberg fell General Won
Mackensen and Archduke Joseph
Ferdinand had driven wedges deep
into the northern section of the
Russian line as far as Tanew, cut
ting this line into two detached parts
Under pressure from the northwest,
following an effective artillery bonn
bardment by General Boehmermolli's
army, the archduke completed the dis
aster by breaking the Russian center,
which was supported on Lemberg. At
the same time Mackensen pressed
steadily on the soldiers of Emperor
Nicholas, who were in full retreat
along the line from Lemberg to Raw
aruska Boehmermelli assumed pur-
suit of the army to the northeast and
east of Lemberg.
AS soon as Lemberg's investment
was completed, according to dispatch
es, the Russians, threatened by fur
ther advance of the Germans and Aus
o-Hungarians, also began retreating
from the angle in northern Galicia,
formed by the rivers San and Vistula.
The victorious Germanic allies were
given an ovation when they entered
Lemberg. 1t is reported that Lemberg
is little damaged, except for fires set
in the western portion by the Rus
SLAMS.
lLemberg's fall deprives the Rus
Sims of their last strong supporting
point on Galician soil.

HAS DERNBURC
BEEN DETAINED?
MUCH SPECULATION OVER THE
CAUSE OF ENGLAND HOLD
ING UP SHIP.

NEW YORK, June 14-In the
absence of dispatches from London
con crning disposition of the Norwe-
gian-American liner Bergensfjord,
detained by the British authorities at
Kirkwall, ther was much speculation
here today as to what had happened
to DR.. Bernhard Dernberg, former
colnial secretary of the German en-
pire, who sailed from New York on
the steamer, June 12, under guaran-
tees of safe conduct given by repre-
sentatives in America of the allied
powers.
All that was definitely known here
was that the Bergensfjord's voyage to
Gergen, Germany, Norway, had been
interrupted and that she had been
taken into Kirkwall This intelligence
reached New York after a two-day
delay by the British censors. The dis
patch also said the Swedish steamer
Varing, Savannah, for Swedish ports,
had been detained.
In maritime circles detention of the
Bergensfjord, apart from the fact
that Dr. Dernberg and his wife were
aboard, was not regarded as unusual,
although in most cases where trans
atlantic liners have been detained
the delay has been longest on the
westbound voyage.
The Scandinavian-Americ liner
Frederick VIII, which reached New
York today from Scandinavian poiDtc
was detained day at Stornoway,
where four passengers said to be
Germans were removed. The Dutch
liner Norman, arriving here yester-
day, was held up three days at Kirk
wall
Gable dispatches telling of delays
to passengers ships on eastbound voy-
ages for neutral ports also have been
frequent recently.

SUCCESSOR.

WASHINGTON, June 24-The

sentatives of the United States in

One of President Wilson's last Off

last night was to sign Mr.. Lansings
commission, giving him a recess ap-
pointment. His nomination will be
sent to the senate upon the recon-
vening of congress. 1t is not believed
that his confirmation will be opposed
Mr.. Lansing's appointment did not
come as a surprise, as it generally
had been expected. The cabinet was
unit in favor of his selection and
many of the presidents close per-
sonal friends had urged it.
Former Secretary Bryan, although
not consulted, is said to have hoped
for Mr.. Lansings promotion. He re-
turned late last night from Asheville
N. c., but would make no comment
upon Mr.. Lansing's appointment ex-
cept to say that he would send his
congratulations today.
Today was diplomatic, day at the
state department and representatives
of foreign governments in Washing
ton called to felicitate Mr.. Lansing
upon his appointment. He is very
popular among the diplomatic corps
The new secretary of state received
many congratulatory messages today,

who expressed qualification at his Sc

WAYCROSS, June 24.-Besides
the Jesup meeting, which will be held
July 6 in the interest of the Savannah

here of halfway meeting place be-

faced highway to connect Waycross

not as short as it might be nor are
the roads in the best condition A lit

road that could, with little work and
constant cooperation, be made paved
highway from one end to the other.

signed by three Socialist leaders,

resumption of peace negotiations.
The German government knows this

pie gathered at the hall Monday eve
ming in spite of the rain to pay their
respects to Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley Yule,
who were married Thanksgiving day
at the home of the brides parents at

ate inscriptions and across the room
in front hung a large banner with
words of welcome printed thereon so
that the hall as a whole presented a
very attractive appearance for those
having just set sail upon the sea of
matrimony.
With the assistance of some of the
townspeople, a short program had
been arranged, which was highly en-.
