In a Sunday morning paper issued
here there was an article purporting
to be official, 20 the effect that some
important changes would be inaugu-
rated in the train schedules, effective
August l. 1t went so far as to give
the actual schedule of the trains and
other information that was not only
new to the citizens generally, but to
the officials of the road in particular,
who deny ever giving any such in
formation. They further deny that
any such change was ever contem-
plated, and further assert that within
the bounds of all human probability,
such a change will never be made.
The schedule on the Rock Island
will remain as it is at present, and
no changes will be made August l as
stated or are there any in contem'
plation after that date.

Game Warden Brings Suit

Shawnea Okla, July 12.-George
w. Noble, state fish and game warden,
mas filed suit in the superior court
against John Provence and Il. L. Estes
in the sum of SS,25O, being so per
day for S52 days. The defendants are
alleged to have maintained a dam in
the North Canadian river without hav-
ing a iish ladder or other means OF
passage provided. The failure of the
owners of the damsite and the pro-
prietors Of the dam to comply with the
orders of the warden by putting in
a fish ladder, caused the institution Of
the suit.

Relations More Strained.

Washington, Jelly 13.-Considera-
ton of the German reply to the
American note on submarine warfare
overshadows all else in the work of
state department officials.
Secretary Lansing spent most of
his time Monday preparing data and
opinions for the next communication
to Germany, and he indicated that
very probably he would not so to
Cornish, n. H., but that President
Wilson would return here at the end
of the week.
The situation was described in Of
fetal quarters ds critical, and there
was no concealment of the fact that
relations between Germany and the
United States had become more
strained than at any other time in
their history.
High officials said the policy of
the American government would be
carefully worked out, and that in or
der to meet the information was
given out in order that a delay of
possibly a week or more in preparing
an answer might not be misinterpre'
ted as meaning the United States in
tended in any way to recede from
the position it had taken in the two
notes already sent to Berlin.
There was much informal discus
sion among officials of the contents
of the German reply. The trend OF
their opinion was that the evasion OF
the American argument in the Ger
man notes had narrowed the field OF
negotiation so that the next com
municaton from the United States
must state to some extent the inten
tions of the Washington government
in case its rights are further violated
and declare the position it will take
with reference to Germany's refusal
to disayow the sinking of the Lusi
tania
Something much more specific and
positive than has yet been said in
the notes which the United States
has sent since the submarine wal
zone was declared is now expected.
Officials gave the impression there
would be no further argument or
the principles involved; that the note
would be very brief and state a gen
eral policy which the American gov
ernment intends to follow with re
spect to violations that already have
occurred or shall take place in the
war zone.

Thousands of Munition Makers.

London, July 13.-From what ap-
peared to be a lull on the western
front has sprung suddenly some of
the most severe fighting in months
with the Germans as aggressors and
victors.
The Souchez cemetery, seven miles
north OF Arras ana hardly half that
distance southwest of Lens, has been
wrested from the French after Ger
man gas attack, followed by hand-to-
hand fighting with bomb and bayonet
The French admit this loss and are
fighting to regain the German posi-
ton which they had won at such
heavy cost.
Slowly the French have been tight
ening their grip on the village of
Souchez until the Germans, aware
that the capture of the entire posi-
ton would be an important step in
the French offensive toward Lens and
Lille. launched = terrific counter
stroke. which left them masters Of
the shattered burial ground, with
more than $50 prisoners in their hand.
Fighting among the houses which
fringe the western edge of the town

renewal of activity in other areas of
France and Belgium, but nothing
comparable to the strategic import
ance of the Souchez struggle. The
Germans lay claim to the destruction
of the British position on Hill 60,
near Ypres, but this finds no con-
frmation from either French or Brit
