CHANCELLOR ALLISON GRANTS
RECEIVERSHIP FOR NASHVILLE
Almost simultaneously Judge Matthews Suspended From Office

The suspension of the head of the

the last four years. This is the first
move under the noted act, and the
officials remain out Of office pending
final hearing or until finally adjudi-
Gated by the Supreme Court.
Likewise is the action of Chancel-
lor Allison of a pioneer character.
Nashville, however, having been
placed in the hands of receiver fol-
lowing the Civil War to wrest the

Germans Attempt To EnyelOp
Warsaw at a Stand.
Still.
ITALIANS WINNING STREAK
French Offensive Is Confined To
a Strong Artillery
Attack.

London, July % -Austro.G German
attempts to envelop the Russian
armies defending Warsaw and to
capture the Polish capital, which for
time progressed almost with the
momentum of the offensive that
cleared Galicia of Russians, have
been almost halted. and where the
Germans are noving it is only yard
by yard and at tremendous cost.
Everywhere the battles are at
their heights, especially that in
which Won Mackensen is engaged.
Military critics here believe that this
is the most critical engagement of
the campaign, for the whole German
plan depends on Won Mackensen's
reaching the Lubin. Chelm railway.
With interest centered in the east,
the important French offensive in
Alsace has been almost disregarded.
Paris reports another success north
of Munster. which apparently is the
French objective, and the repulse of
q series of German counter attacks.
The French have concentrated a lot
of artillery in this region, and with
high explosives have been tearing up
the German defensive works, among
thd strongest along the whole line.
Artillery is also playing an impor-
tant part in the battle on the lsonzo,
where the Italians are reported to
have concentrated for three day
their fire on the Austrian positions
This fire is said to have exceeded il
violence that which the Austro.Ger
mans employed against the Russians
in western Galicia, which up to that
time was the most terrific ever
known in war.
