If our Constitution, and until the

not be tried on its merits until at

thepending exception, which excep-

 "The trip of the band said Colonel Harris. from a standpoint of adver- Using the state, was very decided success, but from a financial point it was a dismal failure. Due to the controversy over the state funds, into which we have been thrown by the appropriation muddle, we were prac- tically left on the coast, minus finan- ciaI resources, and had to depend on private sources for what little money we obtained.

General von Hindenburg' Army Finally Succeeds in Getting Footing on Kov- no Petrograd Railway near Town of Wilma.
RUSSIANS NOW
 MAKING STAND
Condition of Troops Is Ter rible-Country Virtually Under Water - Russians Claim Many Prisoners Have Been Taken.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

LONDON, Sept. 13.-General Won Hindenberg's army has finally sue ceeded in setting foot on the Kovno- Petrograd railway between Wilma and Dvinski. The Russians forced back to the lake district are making a stand. With the railway in the hands of the Germans. the Russians have been com pelled to make further retirement, al though the offensive in Galicia might save them by compelling the Germans to send achievements.
 The condition of the troops Is terri ble. The country is virtually under water Russian accounts say that thirty thousand prisoners were taken along the river Sereth. An artillery battle from Belgium to Argonne marked the operations in the west. A duel nearly three weeks long is par ticularly violent around Arras in Ar gonne and Champagne
 At several points the Germans in fantry after bombardment attempted to storm the trenches of the allies. A There is similar fight along the Aus tro-Italian front. The session of the British parliament opens on Tuesday and will be chiefly occupied by ar ranging finances for the war. This will include levy of new taxes. Com pulsory service is certain for consid- eration. It is said the cabinet is di- vided on this.
