FEAR OF RUSSIAN SPIES
Kaiser and kaiserin Deem it Pru-
dent to Keep Out of Warsaw

Amsterdam. Aug. 11-Fear that
Russian spies would attempt his life
delayed the triumphal entry of the
Kaiser into Warsaw, it was learned
from reliable sources here today.
The Emperor planned to enter the
Polish capital with his victorious
troops upon the heels of the Russians.
But rumors reached the German Sc
cret service that all the public places
in Warsaw had been mined and ag-
ents of Gar left behind in the Polish
capital with orders to sally Kaiser.
Consequently arrangements for. his
immediate entry into the capital were
cancelled. ra
For the same reason American and
other neutral correspondents in Ber-
lin, who were to have been permit
ted to enter Warsaw on the day fol-
lowing its evacuation, were forced tc
delay their visit.

WAR SERUM A WONDER
Remarkable Cures in Cases of Ap--
parcntIy Hopelessly Mutilatcd =,

Paris Aug. 11-What are descrlb-
ed as remarkable cures Of wounded
French soldiers have been effected by
the new polyvalent serum, discovery
of which was announced last March
Complete recovery is announced oil
men who are terribly muitlated and
for whom all hope had been given up
before use of the serum, so badly in
fected were their wounds.
Drs. Laclainche and Vallee, the dis
covers Of the serum. have been unable
up to the present to make more than
1000 TASKS of it daily. most of which
goes to the base hospital, where the
worst cases are to be found. When
it can be made in sufficient quantities
to supply the firing line, where it can
be used preventatively as anti-teta-
nus serum is now used. it is believed
that thousands of lives can be saved.
The new serum, which may be
roughly described as combination
of a number of serums against diff
ferent varieties of bacteria, has been
put to practical use only recently.
Experiments with it were made pre-
viously in a Paris laboratory. It had
been used by DR.. Bergeron in the
Button hospital and afteward more
widely distributed.

WOOD NYMPH CAPTURED.
Wisconsin's Greatest Attraction
Brought to Jail in Horse
Blanket.

Lacrosse. Wis. Aug. 1.-THE
mysterious wood nymph has been
% injured. She drove into Sparta
Yesterday in the custody of Sheriff
George Boss and Humane Officer
George Manuel. Her bizarre costume
of an expansive smile and'a berib
boned boudoir cap was supplemented
by a horse blanket provided by the
sheriff
The contention of the commandant
at the training camp Of the Wiscon,
sin National Guard that the girl was
insane was quickly dispelled when she
was found. Her splendid bronze
hair was carefully combed and done
up under the cap. The sheriff and
others say demented woman would
have permitted her hair to become
matted and draggled down over her
eyes and shoulders.
The officers refuse to give any de-
tails of her capture, nor will the girl
talk. She is now in the care of the
sheriff's family and has been properly
clothed. There are hints that she is
a member of a prominent Lacrosse
family. She is a decided blonde,
with an immense wealth of golden
bronze hair. According TO the Off
GERS she is very pretty and has Il fig
ure that would get her into the first
row of any chorus in the country.

SEND FLAT REJECTION
This Country Repudiates Vienna's
Suggestion That it Has Fio-
lated Neutrality.

Washington, Aug. 11.-The Uni
ted States government has dispatched
toVienna a reply rejecting the Aus
tro- Hungarian views recently set
forth in u note contending that the
great scale on which war munitions
are being exported from America to
enemies of the Germanic allies sis
not in consonance with the definition
of neutrality"
The reply may be made public later
by agreement between the two gov
ernments. Though framed in diplo-
matte language and entirely friendly
in tone, it is understood to repudiate
flatly the suggestion that the United
States has permitted violations Of
neutrality and to stand firmly upon
right of American exporters to send
war supplies to belligerents able TO
purchase and receive them.
The United States always has held
that this is an unquestioned right,
and high officials have pointed out
that to prevent such shipments 70
one country because another was not
in position to receive them would in
itself violate neutrality. Precedenrs
also have been recalled, where in
previous wars Germany and Austria
imported arms extensively.
The Austro-- Hungarian note SCI
forth the views of that government,
and suggested that the United States
might make redress by informing
Austria's enemies that the supply OF
foodstuffs and war material to them
would be suspended unless legitimate
trade in these articles between the
United States and neutral countries
was permitted. According to Aus
trian and Berlin reports, this COM
plaint was sent after conference
between the Austrian and German
Foreign Offices. A similar note. it
was said, would be sent TO the United
States by Germany and Turkey.

EXPECT SENSATIONS
Grand Jury Investigations at Prince
George Courthouse Will be Con-.
tinued Tomorrow.

Richmond, Aug. 11-That th'
Federal government will take hanC
in the prosecution of whisky seller:
at Hopewell is one of the latest de
velopments in the situation at The
powder plant town. 1t is understood
! that there are no Federal licenses
! authorizing the sale of whisky in the
town, although there are now more
than lao malt liquor licenses under
which beer and other into;;cants may
be sold.
The names of large number OF
men who have been engaged in SELF
ing whisky almost as freely as beer
up to last week have been placed in
the hands of internal revenue agents
and action is expected within few
days. These offenders may escape
Federal prosecution by paying the
penalty prescribed by the Revised
Statutes of the United States, but
they will be held by the State au-
. horities.
Valuable assistance has been given
the State and county officers by the
Federal agents in securing evidence
against the violators Of the Virginia
| liquor laws, and Commonwealth's At
torney Timothy Rivers, of Prince
George, and Special Prosecutor
George E. Wise, of Richmond, will
have the benefit Of any information
the internal revenue men secure.
There are said to have been $50
places in Hopewell, where liquor and
beer were sold openly previous to
Tuesday of last week. when the town
police force was removed, and there
are believed to have been other
''speak-easies" and bootlcggers
operating lin and about the town.
;; When the grand jury which will
reconvene a. t Prince George court
house Friday, completes its inyesti
cation of bribery and graft charges
involving officers of the law, it
will: turn its attention to the whisky
and beer dealers, gamblers and keep
ers, of disorderly resorts.
! In addition to- the four men in
dicted Monday there are indications
that several other men will be heard
in connection with the bribery and
graft phase of the Hopewell situa-
ton. Only one presentment has been
made against each so far, but there
are other cases pending against one
or two of the men.

London, Aug. 1.-THE commence

same time to influence the Balkan
states is the feature of the war news
The renewed attempts against the
Turkish positions, which apparently
is in full swing, seems to be con-
certed one. Attacks are being made
at the tip of the peninsula, along the
Krithia road, where gain of 2Ol
yards on a front of 800 yards has
been made, and at Sari Bair, where
an important crest has been occupi-
ed, according to Gen. Sir Ian Hamll.
ton, commander-in-chief of the Bri-
tish forces.
elsewhere" general Hamilton's
report continues, "a fresh landing has
been successfully effected and consi
derable progress made.
This landing evidently was a sur
prise to the Turks, as $50 prisoners
number of guns and a quantity OF
material are declared to have beer
taken by the British forces.
A Turkish official report supplies
the localities of two landings. Ac-
cording to this forces were put
ashore in the environs of Karachali
a town on the road which skirts the
north shore of the Gulf of Saros, op-
;;osite the neck of the Gallipoli PENN
suia, and near Ari Burnu. This lat
ter place, although it is not showr
on available maps, is believed to be
at the foot of Sari Bair, just north
of where the Australians are holding
a strong position. ...-~. g."
At Ari Burnu the Turks admit that
the landing was successfully carried
out, but they. claim to have dispersed
the troops which came ashore near
Karachali. 1t is believed in military
circles here that the landing: at
Karachalii was only; a Efeint, to; dis
guise the real intention of the Allies
although it is Esaid that the putting
ashore of a strong force at this point
might result in their working around
and-cutting the Turkish. main line Of
communications with the Gallapali
Peninsula above the Bulair line
across the neck of the peninsula.
The forcing of the Dardaaelles is
realized by the military, critics here
to be of the greatest Importance, for
they assert that it: is the only way
that the5Alliesi can. render immediate
aid to Russia and repay her for the
great sacrifices she. has made for the
common caase. In addition, it is be:
lieved by the military observers that
a success hare. would: d:hring'the Balkan
states definitely over to the side OF
the quadruple Entente powers in the
war. Italy is understood to be prepar-
ed to lend hand in the Dardanelles
operations.

London. Feb s.-Walter Hines Page,
the American ambassador in London,
today forwarded to the state depart
ment in Washington a statement on
the Lusitania flag incident. He re-
views the alleged use of the American
flag by the line on entering Liverpool
harbor Saturday morning.
Mr.. Page has not communicated with
the foreign office concerning the Incl
dent and as yet no official communi-
cations have passed between the
American and British governments.
AS the Lustania carried $40 cabin
passengers, many Of them prominent
Americans who have wide acquaint-
ance in London, the news of the flag
incident spread rapidly until it be-
came almost the sole topic of comment
The British government now claims
the captain of the vessel was not
ordered to use the flag.
