BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Milledgeville, Ca, July
18.-Leo NJ. Frank, serv-
ing a life term for the muir
der of Mary Phagan, is not
expected to live as the re-
suit of a deadly assault
made upon him shortly be-
fore midnight by William
Green, also a life termer,
who, with a long knife
used for killing hogs, cut
Franks throat, severing
the left jugular vein.
The assault occurred
while Prank was in bed
in the dornitory of the
state prison farm. The
knife had been secreted
by Green. He slipped 70
Franks bunk and before
the latter could cry out
had drawn the long and
sharp knife across his
neck.
Franks cries brought
the guards Immediately.
Physicians were sum-
noned. They said early
this morning that Frank
had only a very slight
chance for recovery.
Because Frank had not
been hanged was the reas-
on given by Green for his
act.

London, July ia continuance of
the heavy fighting of the past few
days along the battle front in France
was indicated in the latest official
communications
Paris records the repulse of Ger
man attacks in Argonne, which had
been the scene of many recent en-

breaking up by artillery fire of an at

in the forest of Parroy in Lorraine.
It is in the East however, that OPP
erations of the widest magnitude and
importance are developing. The Ger
man move through Courlands is be-
lieved by military observers to be d.
rected at Riga, on the Baltic. 1t
seems to be gathering force.
The armies of Field Marshal Hin

New York, July 17.-Cunarder Orr
duna, from Liverpool Tor New York,
with two hundred and twenty-seven
passengers, including twenty-five
Americans, was attacked without
warning by a German submarine
shortly before o'clock on the morn
ing Of July 8. This was learned on
the arrival Of the Orduna here to-
day. The scene of the attack was
twenty miles from Old Head, Kin
sale, where the Lusitania was sunk.
The torpedo passed 10 feet behind the
steamer. The submarine followed the
fleeing steamer Smelling her. No
shells struck.
The passengers were aroused, got
on deck, donned life belts and took
their places at the Life boats. All were
asleep when the attack was made. The
submarine followed half an hour.
A wireless call for help was sent
out and the reply came that help
would come within an hour. -Four
hours later the small armored yacht
Jeanette appeared.
William o. Thompson, of Chicago,
counsel for the Federal Industrial Re-
lationss Commission who went abroad
in an official capacity declared he
would make protest to the American
government. He declared the Orduna
cerried no ammunition and was de-
alfberately attacked without warning.
Is was little short of marvellous that
she was not sunk with all on board.
Whether the submarine hid behind
the American bark Normandy from
I Gulfport, Miss, was point on which
the passengers varied.
A small sailing ship with American
flags on her side, was sighted ahead
shortly before the attack. The cap
tain became suspicious and changed
his course. The torpedo was seen
soon. One passenger thought he
made out the name Normandy
through glasses. The Normandy is
known to be in the vicinity that day.

hour earlier than usual, with an idea
of bringing the case to a close as
