LONDON, July 1.-THE long battle
line in northern France is furnishing
for the moment the only news of pro-
nounced military activity that has been
passed by the British censor, and in
terest in events in that area of hostil-
tiles is at high tension here. The Ger
man struggle for Verdun, according to
the deduction of British military OBJ
servers, is on in earnest, and the
Germans are expected to throw the
whole strength of their reinforced
western army into the effort to wrest
the great fortress from control of
Gen. Joffre's troops.
Converging columns of Teuton
troops are fighting their way toward
Verdun from two directions, the army
of Crown Prince Frederick, operating
in the Woevre district, and another
army attacking in the forests of the
Argonne, where so many bloody en-
counters have already occurred. At
tacks from both f1anks, Paris reports
say, were repulsed during last night.
hut the Germans have not abandoned
the effort and today witnessed much
severe fighting in that region.
Aid Raid is Successful.
Rome reports the general situation
along the Austro-I Italian front as
practically unchanged. the war office
statement being followed by brief
bulletin giving details of an air raid
by Italian aviators on large Austrian
military camp near Gorilla. The
raid, according to this bulletin, was
most successful great havoc being
wrought by numerous high explosives
accurately dropped in the midst of
the camp.
Vienna reports refer to several ar
tillery engagements between Austrian
and Italian armies in the southern
theatre of war. Details of the en-
Italian infantry attack upon Austrian
trenches near Redipugli is reported
from Vienna as having been definitely
repulsed, after heavy losses had been
sustained by the attackers.
Fall of Dardanelles Anticipated.
Great interest has been created by
receipt of news from Mytilene to the
workmen and troops are engaged night
and day in Strengthening the defensas
of Constantinople, where, it is sail,
powerful naval guns removed from
vessels of the Turkish fleet and heavy
howitzers taken from Notifications
aear the Nayrows of the Dardanelles
are being mounted. Such activity, 1t
is believes, portends the fall of the
whole chain of forts defending the
entrance to the Sea of Marmora, and
the forces of the allies in that region
are now believed to be much nearer
their goal than the public has been
permitted to know. Great satisfaction
is also expressed at the progress ol
the Anglo-French forces against the
Turks.

TROOPS ORDERED

MACON, Ga, July 14.-Members of
three companies of Georgia militia
were held in their armory here
throughout last night, awaiting orders
TO proceed to Milledgeville to protect
Leo M. Frank, were allowed to return
to their homes and business this
morning. The military was held in
readiness last night on orders from
the adjutant general in Atlanta, who
stated reports had reached him of the
possibility of an attempt to take Frank
from the state farmss All remained
quiet last night at Milledgeville.
The move that was expected on Mil
ledgeville was scheduled to start from
Marietta. 1t was reported last night
that Cobb county citizens who had
shown hostility toward Frank, hal
obtained chart of the interior of the
state prison. This is said to have
shown the location of Frank within
the walls.
The military authorities believed
that the purpose of the proposed at
tack was to obtain Frank and lynch
him.
The information which the military
had was to the effect that 500 people
from Cobb county had planned to
reach the state farm in automobiles
during the night. There they were to
assemble for an attack.
In connection with this report, it
was learned last night for the first
time that on the Saturday night fol-
lowing the detention Of Frank, crowd
assembled near the entrance to the
state farm. No demonstration was

COSTLY EDUCATION

Two years ago American business men voluntarily went to Washington to give the President and Congress the benefit of their knowledge and ex- perience upon matters which were the subject of proposed legislation. Pre- sident Wilson denounced them as an "insidious lobby" and drove them from the capital. In his intention to call business men into conference upon important government problems. Two years ago he wanted to hang some of them 'higher than Haman." After putting the American business man through an experience little better than hanging, MT. Wilson realizes that after all, practical business knowledge is of great value and that ever a college professor can learn from business men. But what pity it is that MT. Wilson took two years to find out his error! What a pity that American industry paid so dearly for MT. Wilson's education!
