AUSTRIANS
FORCE BACK
Gar ARMY

PETROGRAD, July 12-Reinforced
troops hurriedly transferred from the
Zlota-Lippa-Dniester river fronts in
Galicia, the Austian army in the Lub-
lin region of Poland has rallied after
being driven back thirty-two miles by
the Russians in five days of fighting
The war office admitted today that the
offensive Of the cars troops had been
checked by a tremendous artillery fire,
and compelled to assume the defen-
sive.
1t is apparent that the Teutonic
troops south of Lublin are again in
touch with their supply base, from
which they had been separated by the
rapid advance they made in the be-
lief that the Russian forces were COM
pletely disorganized. This tactical er-
ror is declared at the war office to
have cost the Austro-Germans more
than 10000 men or a complete army
corps.
While fighting continues in the Lub-
lin district. indications are that the
situation there is approaching dead
lock, and interest has been temporar-
lily transferred to the Bobra river front
in northern Poland, where the Ger
mans are trying to invest Ossowisc by
crossing the river between that fort
ress and Lomsa.

ROAMING WILDCAT
FRIGHTENS PEOPLE
NEAR GRAVEL PITS

Somewhere in that section Of the
county northeast of Richmond is a
large and genuine wildcat, or "bobcat'
as the animal is sometimes called, and
the residents of that locality are quite
uneasy, fearing the beast will prey
upon their poultry and livestock.
The only persons who has seen the
wildcat is F. E. Slick. a contractor
living on the Hawkins road near the
old city gravel pit. He says he is not
mistaken in his Identification Of the
animal as he has frequently hunted
for them in Mississippi
He reported the presence Of the ami
nal near his premises to the police
yesterday afternoon and his request to
shoot it if possible was promptly
granted. But after he had secured his
shotgun the wildcat had disappeared
in the weeds of the gravel pit. Its
trail, leading eastward, was found but
the animal is still at large. Where it
came from no one can tell. Slick
thought at first it had escaped from
the Glen zoo. but was informed that
no such animal had been confined
there. Officers Wenger and Bundy
were detailed to aid Slick in hunting
for the beast but they met with no
success.
"The wildcat was over a foot in
heighth, with a long body. covered
with grey fur, except on its breast,
which was white" Slick said today
Il first Saw it sinking along a path.

my gun it had disappeared into the

RULES
need REVISION
SAYS ROBBINS

Mayor Robbins said today he would
advise council at its meeting this
evening to undertake a thorough re-
vision Of local traffic regulations.
THE traffic problem is becoming
more serious and the city must pro
vide for the strict regulation OF
vehicles" the mayor said.
Parking of machines in the business
section of Main street is a source OF
much complaint. There is also much
complaint over the practice of many
motorists Of neglecting to sound a
warning and to bring their machines
to a stop when a street car ahead of
them comes to stop to permit passen-
gers to get off or get aboard. Safety
zones for pedestrians on some Of the
busiest corner are also advocated by
many citizens.
Mayor Robbins says that number
of streets have been damaged recently
by traction engines passing over them.
He thinks council should decide
whether North A street, now being
paved with asphalt, should be dedicat-
ed as a boulevard for the purpose OF
keeping off heavy traffic. The super
intendent in charge of the construct
ion of this streets says, that it can
stand up under as heavy traffic as a
brick street.

from Mrs Thaw's testimony, court
recessed for five minutes, and Thaw
went into the corridor to smoke a

"You can see now why the state ex-
cused Mrs. Evelyn Thaw." said Thaw.
Her testimony would have damaged
its case. Mr.. Cook in his opening
statement said he would clear the
name of Stanford White. Mrs. Thaw
would have told the same story Becker
is reading. That would not have help

Thaw repeated that he was planning

INTRICuES CHARGED
BY POLITICIANS IN
HOUSE OF COMMONS

LONDON, July 12.-The squabble
between Lord Haldane and David
Lloyd George, the minister OF munf-
tions. found its way into parliament
today. Premier Asquith was interpo-
lated in the house of commons as to
whether he agreed with Lord Georges
criticism, but the premier refused to
make an statement.
Mr.. Asquith also refused to discuss
the inquiry of Sir Edwin Cornweu as
to wether the government possesses
adequate power to control the metal
market without recourse to legisla-
ton.
The British political situation has
developed into a scandal as the re-
suit of intrigues both in and out OF the
government. 1t is charged by some
of the newspapers that Lord North
cliffe is working for the downfall of
Lord Kitchener, secretary of state for
war, and Foreign Minister Gray.
Lord Haldane's political enemies are
criticising him for his admiration for
the Germans before the war began. 1t
was this criticism that led to his re-
tirement from lord high chancellor re-

Mrs. Roach said no effort would be

"The circumstances here are unu.

has so many churches on it. The paw
Ing has practically been paid for by
the church people. Therefore l fail
to see why this street should be made
a platform on which to hold dance.
II don't know your personal opinion

it and that am opposed to It, espec.

BRITISH NEWSPAPERS
SEE BREAK Between
j, s, and GERMANY

LONDON, July 12.-That abandon
ment of the United States of its de-
mands on Germany would cause a
break in the friendship between Eng
land and America is the declaration
made by the Evening Standard. Other
papers reiterate their caustic comment
on the German reply to President Will
sons note, declaring it as impudent
and the concessions it offers as idi-
otic. The impression in British circles
is that the United States will carry on
no more correspondence with Germany
but will stand by its demands and
break off relations if the Germans
commit any act which the Washington
government regards as violating them.

} Wilson to Stand Pat.
1t Is expected almost as a matter
OF course here that President Wilson
can not accede in any degree to the
suggestions made in the German reply.
The administration Is understood to
appreciate the cordial tenor of the
German reply, but as to the principles
involved, the two nations are still far
apart. The way has been left open for
further correspondence, but Germany
and the United States are apparently
as far apart as they were six weeks
ago. This causes officials to become
apprehensive lest the patience of the
American people become exhausted,
and the situation assume the critical
nature 1t possessed Immediately fol-
lowing the destruction of the Lusita-
mia.
Note to Be Pointed.
The impression here is that the pres
ident's third communication regarding
the protection of American travellers
at sea will be document remarkable
for Its brevity and directness. 1t is
not thought that this government will
enter into lengthy argument through
diplomatic channels, although the pres
ident Is expected to point out why the
be accepted by the United States.
The suggestion. for instance, that
the United States shall notify the Ger
man government of the departure of
such ships which carry no contrabands
will be held to be illogical, 1t is prob
able. The arrangement, it is contend
ed here, would amount to q notification
that all other ships do carry contra
bands and are legitimate prey for sub
marines.
The proposal that the United States
shall put additional ships under the
American flag is another German plan
which this government is expected to
reject, because 1t would carry with It
virtual abandonment Of the claim
that Americans have a right to travel
on any merchantmen without fear of
losing their lives.

Expect Carranza.


MEXICO, City. July 12-Carranza
lean capital today Order Is being
maintained by street patrols. while
small squads are searching the city
for any Zapatistas who may be still
lurking here. The main Zapata forces
are in full retreat pursued by the
larger part of the army OF General
Pablo Gonzales, the Carranza COM
mander
The outburst of looting that was ex-
pected upon the flight of the Zapatis-
tas failed to materialize.
General Carranza is expected here
within few days to take up the reins
of government. Because of the vic
tories won again Villa by General
Obregon in the north it is expected
that the first CHIEF will make an
other bid for American recognition.
The flight of the Zapatistas began
Friday night. They took away with
them 142 cars, or eighty per cent of
the entire rolling stock of the rail-
roads. Thomas Hohler, the charge
d'affaires, is trying to secure the re-
turn OF this stock, which will be re-
quired for the transportation of food
supplies from the coast.
Consul General Arnold Shanklin,
who has been in Vera Cruz most of
the time since General Carranza took
up his headquarters there, will handle
American interests in the capital here

taken over by the Brazilian minister.
