rhree Amendments passed.

Three resolutions proposing sub
mission of important amendments to
judiciary features of the constitution,
as recommended by Gov. Robert l..
Williams In campaign speeches and
his message to the legislature, were
passed by the house.
One of the proposed amendments
abolishes county courts, another con-
solldates the supreme court and the
criminal court of appeals In one final
appellate tribunal for civil and Grim
inal cases, and the third reduces the
size Of juries in all courts of record
from twelve to eight jurors In all
cases except those involving capital
punishment. In cases of that charac-
ter the defendant will be permitted
to be tried before jury of twelve
men.
The resolutions, which are among
the last important administration
measures now on the calendar Of
either house, have been passed by the
senate, and when that body acts upon
a few minor amendments they will
be ready to go to the governor for
approval.

TIGHT RACE FOR PENNANT
National League Winner Likely to
Have Percentage below 600

Unless there is decided change in
the pennant race in the National Lea
que, says the Troy Times, the winner
this season will have n smaller per
centage than any club that has ever
won the flag in a major league, and
that means finishing on top with
percentage less than 500. Taking
the records of the National and Amer
lean Leagues since 1900 it is found
that the leading club of the former is
playing far below the standard of the
Winners. while in the American Lea,
que the leading c;Gb is running along
about equal 10 the average percent
age of the winners. Since 1900 the
pennant winners of the National Lea
que have won total OF 1910 games
and lost 723, giving the average per
centase of the winners .676. In the
American League the ilagwinners
have won a total of |, ,402 games and
lost S07, the average percentage be-
ing .635.
Tuesday the Red SoX were lead
ing the American Leagues with a per-
centage of 63S. In the National Lea
que the Phillies were on top with a
percentage of .553. The National
League leaders had won AZ games
and lost "a, which leaves rs games
for the PhiIlies to play. II they play
all their games they will have to
win 81 of the 7S games to finish with
percentage of .604 which would
mean playing at speed of .654 for
the remainder of the season. 1t will
be harder task for any OF the
other clubs to come up, to the 500
mark unless one of them makes a
spurt similar to that by the Braves
last season.

London, Wednesday, July 2s.-The
Austro-German attempts to envelop
the Russian armies defending War
saw and to capture the Polish capital
which for time progressed almost
with the momentum OF the offensive
which cleared Galicia of the Russian
troops, have been brought nearly to
a standstill and where the Germans
are moving forward it is only yard by
yard and at tremendous cost in men
and material
The German Field Marshal Won
Mackensen has taken few villages
on the way to the Lubiln-Chelm Rail
way, between the Nistula and the
Bug Rivers, and the Austrians, by q
counter-offensive at Sokol, have cap
tured positions which will make the
German flank safer, but. as has so Of
ten occurred lately, Berlin officially
reports that "other wise the position
of the German troops under Won
Mackensen remains unchanged
Along the western bank of the Wis
tula from Hangorod to Novo George
vsk progress apparently has been
made, while along the Narew, where
Field Marshal Won Iindenburg has
been directing operations in an effort
to drive a wedge in behind the city,
he is now largely occupied in meeting
the Russian counterattacks.
These counter-attacks. according
to Petrograd, have succeeded in fore
ing the Germans who had crossed the
river to return 10 the northern bank
at several points, hut Berlin asserts
that they completely failed and that
the German force is advancing in an
easterly direction.
The Russians, who were defeated
IN the Baltic provinces recently, have
also turned, and, according to the
Berlin official report, have delivered
an attack from Mitau, which, how
ever, was repused.
Further to the south the Germans
continue their advance eastward, to-
ward the Nina-Petrograd Railway,
but there is lot of territory to cover
before this is reached, and it is con
sidered more likely that General Won
Buelow, who is in command here, will
turn to the southwest to threaten the
Russian armies which are facing Won
Hindenburg.
Everywhere the battles are at their
height, especially that in which Won
Mackensen is engaged, All the mill
tary critics here believe that this is
the most critical of the campaign. for
the whole German plan depends on
his reaching the LublinChelm Rail
way.

city still holds out.
It's fall, however, is Indicated by
the fact that large amount of ma

HAVE REACHED MOUTH OF BUG
Expect to Cross This River Tdoay-
Russians Have Only Two Lines of
Railway and These Threatened

Berlin, July 2S, via Sayyille:-Re-
ports of the operations around War
saw arriving today show that there
was no truth IN the stories printed in
the British and American papers this
morning that the German army had
been defeated south of the Narew.
The official reports today show
that the Germans have crossed the
ten miles of country between the
Narew where they crossed the river
and the Bug and are on the north
bank of the latter stream where it en-
ters the Narew less than 90 miles
from Warsaw.
The Russians have again been fore
ed back on three sides Of the triangle
and the German forces are closing in
on The Polish capital which is now
reached by German shells from two
points.
The Russians hold only two lines Of
railway leading east from Warsaw
over which they must retreat if I'M
able to hold the city and one OF these
is likely TO foil into the hands of the
Germans within the next two days.
The Russians are making desperate
efforts TO hold back the Germans
while a second line of defence is pre-
pared and supplies are moved but
their situatin gis hourly growino
more critical.
The city is more than two-thirds
surrounded and several of the strong
est Russian forts have been silenced.
