London, July 23.-The AusErB-
German armies continue TO press
the Russian forces defending W'ar-
saw, and while they have made pro
gress at some points, they have made
no serious breach in the W, Il fortiHeC
inner lines defending the city
The Russians have been drawn
back to the bridgehead positions di'-
rectly west of Warsaw and into thes
fortress Of Ivangorod. farther 80 9TH
east, on the Vistula. But at tness
points they probably can offer mors-
stubborn resistance.
The two attacks that are being
made from the north along the Ma
rev river by Field Marshal gOn
Hindenburg and that which Field
Marshal Won Mackensen is directing
from the southeast, between the
Vistula and Bug rivers apparently
have been held up, or the Germans
are awaiting an opportune moment
to move forward and catch, the Rus
sian armies, should it be decided 10
evacuate Warsaw. At any rate, Ber-
lin does not claim any advance fDT
Won Mackensen. while the ofEn1
report, although it states that the
Russians have ceased counter attacks
along the Narew, does not menesSn
any success by Won Hindenburg.
However. should the Russians
hold Warsaw it would SUI prise the
military critics in the allied cOuz-
tries who have discounted the loss oS
the city, attacked from all sides Dy
opponents possessed of supeFiarjtE
in guns and munitions.
Grand Duke Nicholas, although
delivering singing counter attacks
and inflicting heavy losses or the,
Austo-Germans, must in the first
place consider the safety of his ARR
les, the loss of which would be much
more serious for the Russians than
retirement from the Polish capiosi
and the territory around it.
The Argonne and the Vosges ssilI
are the scenes of the severe fighting
in the west. The accounts from the
opposing sides are as contradictory
as ever, but it would appear shat
the French are the aggressOrs in the
Vosges and have made some progress.
and that the Germans have Offset
this by partially successful often
sive in the Argonne.
The Italians continue their attacks
along the Isonzo, the battle for the,
conquest of Gorilla and the Cavsg
plateau assuming larger proportions
and more men being engaged than
in any previous battle on the ItalEsn
front. The Italians claim progress,
while the Austrians consistently -
port that all attacks have been W.
pulsed.
A short official account issued ~
recent fighting on the Gallipoli pen5A-
sula indicates that minor engage
ments have favored the allies.

John N. Clardy, A Prominent
Young Farmer, Meets HOr-
rible Death.
ALONE WHEN 1T OCCURRED
Burial In This City This Morn
ing at Riverside
Cemetery.

John Moore Clardy, aged %, old
est son of Elem C. Clardy and grand
son of DR.. John d. Clardy, met death
in horrible manner Thursday af-
ternoon, at his home eight miles
from town.
He was alone at the time, except
for the presence of the cOlored cook.
Mrs. Clardy and her daughter Miss
Annie Bacon Clardy were in this city
and his father had gone to his grand
fathers. His little brother had been
to DR.. Clardy's but had returned and
was with the handsin the field. Mr..
Clardy had brought the % horse
power traction engine used about
the farm up near the house and was
pumping water to fill the tank sup
plying water to the house. The
cook in passing about the yard saw
him busily engaged around the en-
CINE. Suddenly she heard the en-
CINE clicking and then it stopped
with a sort of chug. Soon after
wards his little brother, Elem, aged
IL years, came from the field and
found Mr.. Clardy's dead body
,wedged in between the betting and
the machine. One arm was en-
tangled and crushed and later it was
found that his neck, both legs and
both arms were broken and there
was laceration Of his face, one eye
lid being torn off. 1t is supposed
that his sleeve caught in the belt
and jerked him into the machinery
with such force as to break his
neck and cause instant death. He
made no outcry and it is not known
just what stopped the engine. He
may have been cutting it off when
caught or the crushing of his body
may have caused it to stop. 1t was
running with low steam.
Little Elem" at once called to the
woman and she rang the farm bell
and the young mans father mile
away came home at once. In the
meantime Wallace F. Boyd, who
lives near by, ran to the scene, the
first person to arrive. He did not
understand the engine well enough
to release the clutch and it was
necessary to wait few minutes un-
ill his father arrived. While eX-
planning the engine Mr.. Clardy was
overcome and was sent to the house
and the body was released by Mr..
Boyd and the hands on the place.
His mother and sister were sum.
moned by telephone but they were
not told until they reached home
that he was dead. His aged grand
father, who is crit cally i'll, was not
notified at he time.
Mr.. Clardy was fine young man
who was valuable assistant to his
father and grandfather in their ex-
tensive farming operations. He was
unmarried and was a member of the
South Union Baptist church and the
Church Hill Grange.
The funeral will be held at the
home on the Cox mill road, near
Church Hill. this morning at 10
o'clock. by Rev. H. E. Gabby. The
interment will take place at River.
side cemetery, probably near the
noon hour.

The note is in the nature of a fins

POINTS IN THE NEW NOTE.
THE assumption by the Unit
ed State that Germany. by de-
claring her submarine warfare
to be a retaliatory measure
against the alleged unlawful
acts of her enemies, has adj
mitted that the destruction of
unresisting merchantmen with
out warning as illegal.
2-German submarine command
ers have already proved that
they can save passengers and
crews of vessels and can act in
conformity with the lays of
humanity in making war on
enemy ships.
3-The United States cannot al
low the relations between the
belligerents to operate in any
way as an abreviation of the
rights of neutrals and, there
fore, any violation of the prin-
ciples for which the American
government contends, result
ing in a loss of American lives.
will be viewed as "unfriend-
ly."
4-The representations which
the American government has
made in previous notes for dis
avowal of the intention to sink
the Lusitania with Americans
aboard and the request for re-
paration are reiterated with
renewed insistence.
5-The American government
realizes the unusual and alb
normal conditions which the
present conflict has created in
the conduct of maritime war
and is willing to act as an in
termediary as between the
belligerents to arrange a mo-
dus vivendi or any other tenn
porary arrangements which
do not involve a surrender by
the United States of its rights.
6--The proposals made by Ger
many to give immunity to
American ships not carrying
contraband, and to four belli-
gerents ships undr the Amer
can flag, are rejected with the
emphatic assertion that to ac-
cept such suggestions would
be to admit Germany's right
to set aside the American con.
tentions based on fundament-
al principles in international
law. that neutrals may travel
anywhere on the high seas on
unresisting ships of any ma
tionality even if carrying con-
traband.
The note is about | 200 words long

ect intimation of the course which

OPENING OF DANUBE
 AID FOR TEU7ONS
Great Military and Economic Ad-
 VantageS Gained by Event

Correspondence of the Asso. PreSs.)
 Belgrade, Serbia Dec. 17.-What great military and economic advan- tages were gained by the Germans and their allies with the opening of traffic on the Danube, has been shown by the activity in shipping which de- veloped directly after the Serbs had been driven from the banks of the river. Fighting along the Danube was still in progress when the Austrians started to clear a channel through the mine fields which the Russians, Serbs and English had laid out Mean while large tows, carrying military supplies needed by Turkey and Bull garia, were brought down the river from Austro- Hungarian and German ports and assembled at Semlin. ready for the minute when navigation be- came possible. Austrian river n,on- itors, notably the Sava and Temes, had in the meantime patrolled the Danube as far as Lom Palak, and later to Ruschuck, both Bulgarian ports, and in so doing had cleared the river of some Russian armed mer- chant vessels stationed in the Ru- manian port of Turn-Severin. That these vessels were not sunk or cap tured by the Austrians is due to the fact that on the day which the As sociated Press correspondent made the trip up the river as guest on the Sava, they were being conveyed down stream by Rumanian monitors. the Russians themselves flying the Ru- manian flag.
 The Bulgarian port of Lom Palaka was the scene of great activity. For over fifteen months no boats from uD- stream had arrived there. Now tho ietties were crowded with barges from

Neverth eless, some 60,000 to 10000 have arrived. The population of Sa- loniki in a few weeks has jumped from 16O,000 to almost a million. And the most rudimentary means of taking care of such an increase are abso- lutely lacking, even to water supply and drainage.
 As for the general aspect of the city; it never was Greek-indeed 1t is more so now than it ever has been. But today it might be sort of great CT Port Said; it might be Marseilles or London or Alexandria. It is any thing-a great bazaar, a human bee hive. But it is not a Greek city. It is not a city at all. It is merely a spot on the map where hundreds of thousands of human beings have con- gregated-and where few of them who can help it will remain.

has been ended by the taking of the copper mines near Milanovac and elsewhere in Serbia. Bulgaria. too, has a large number of copper mines, the best of them near Mesdra, on the Mesdra- Lom Palanka branch railroad, and the Turks can meet any possible shortage with ores from Anatoia, notably from the Smyrna region. . Chemical raw material also may be brought from Turkey in Asia and paucity of cotton for explosives is now altogether unlikely, since this staple is produced in considerable quantities in the Cilician plain. 1t is of interest to learn that even a placer gold field has fallen into the hands of the Central Powers, that near Milonovac, Serbia. Washing is now in progress.
 Nine Tows in Day.
 Tn single day the Associated Ptess correspondent saw as many as nine tows go down the river, each consist ing of a tug and seven barges-tIel latter each carrying the equivalent of one hundred freight cars, giving thel days traffic a total of 6,300 carloads or 215 trains of average size. ForI the five days spent on the Iiverr thel total cannot be less than 10000 carl loads, or with bulk and weight brought into relations, over a mill lion tons Many of the tows came d. rectly from Germany, the names et the barges' home ports and the dis tance travelled indicating that they had been concentrated in the AEsI trian reaches of the Danube whom lh offensive against Serbia had not vel begun. As an example of German and Austro- Hungarian thorougifhess the preparations for the resumptiofy of Danube traffic are noteworthy.
 Already train connections for mill tary purposes exist between Berlin and Constantinople and, according i'd assertion made here. through pas senger and express freight service MSlv be in operation within three ~*eekap via Belgrade and Nish. The Serhs were not given time enough to de stroy this line as thoroughly as it na expected they would and as resul of this people here hope to traye soon on the "B" express. train tha will link Brussels Berlin Budapest Belgrade, Bulgaria -Byzanthium."

Austria and Germany. On the pre- vious day King Ferdinand of Bul- garia and Premier Radoslavon had been at Lom Palaka to assist in the resumption of traffic between Bull garia and the Central Powers, an event which Germany and Austria Hungary thought important enough to have inaugurated by Duke Albrecht or Mecklenburg, brother-in-law of Emperor William, who was a passcn- ger on the first convoy arriving.
 Traffic Now Normal.
 military supplies were shipped down stream. principally arms and ammuni- ton for Bulgaria and Turkey. Both these countries stood in need of heavy artillery and artillery ammunition. Some of the later boats brought a large number of heavy motor trucks, combination and scout aeroplanes, ambulances and sanitary supplies. Since then ordinary merchandise has been admitted to shipment. The re- turning barges and boats carry raw material of all sorts and foodstuffs. During the last few days a regular passenger and mail service to Lom I dldhd HdS DeeH III u1l- til today traffic on the Danube may be considered normal with the diff ference that never before had it known such proportions. The mili- tary supplies of which Bulgaria and Turkey can make use are many, and on the other hand Austria-Hungary and Germany offer an eager market for the agricultural and animal in dustry products of the two first men, toned countries.
 Some anxiety had been felt in Con- stantinople and lately in Sofia that the heavy demand which the war made on their relatively scant storage of artillery ammunition might soon create a problem it would be difficult to solve in case a free route of com munication were not opened up. This, in fact, was the principal reason why the long delayed offensive against Serbia was undertaken, when 1t was, though the attitude of Bulgaria neces- sarily played an important part in this. But German and Austrian war stores were not the sole factor. The Central Powers could make good use of Turkish and Bulgarian wool, skins, hides cereals and copper ores, and Iurkey ana Bulgarla neeueO the EeNC- nues which would come from the eale of these materials. It is to be doubt ed that history ever before presented an instance in which the opening of a line of communication met so ade- quate ly the needs of four allied peo- ples engaged in war, or that from this condition so urgent a necessity had sprung. For the first time since the outbreak of the European war Ger many and Austria Hungary are rela- lively independent economically, while Turkey and Bulgaria now have within their reach an inexhaustible supply of war materials, inexhaustible today because the German and Aus tra- Hungarian arms and ammunition manufacturers now have access to the great mineral stores of the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire.
