Selection of Gernanv's Ma tional Hero for Duty of Capturing Fortress is Taken as Indication of Importance Attached
RUSSIANS REOCCUPY
 TOWN OF TONINY
This Indicates Germans Have Suffered Setback, Town Being Considerably
 West of Point to Which
 Germans Had Penetrated
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LONDON. Aug. 13.-Field Marshal von Hindenburg has personally taken command of the German army at lacking Kovno, according to Ger man official report and made further progress in the fighting against the Russians in that region.
 The selection of Germany's nation al hero for the duty of capturing the fortress of Kovno, which stands bet wccn the Germans and the Wilma, Warsaw and Petrograd railway, Is taken as an indication of the i'm portance the German staff attaches to this operation
 The news that civilians had com menccd to evacuate Kovno as well as Wilma. led to the belief in many quarters that the Russians may have decided to give up their position, but in the latest report from Petro- grad t is claimed the Russians re- pulsed the German attacks except at one point. where a desperate artil- lery engagement is in progres.
 Further north between Poniew- csch and Dvinsk where General von EueloW d week ago was advancing rapidly toward the railway, the Ger mans apparently have suffered a set back. for the Russians now speak of pressing them and declare they have reoccuricd the town of Toviny. which is considerably west of the point to which the Germans had penetrated.
 Two Zeppelins last night visited the east coast of England and drop ped bombs. Six were killed, twenty three injured and four houses were seriously damaged.
 This is the s,Nteentb air raid on England since the commencement of the war. and in all seventy-six have been killed. and 175 injured. South of Riga. tho Germans are said to be doing little more than holding their own, so the talked of advance to- ward Petrugrad seems to be deveI- oping very slowly. on the other hand the Germans continue to drive in the Russians to the northeast and cast of Warsaw, and with the cap ture cf Siedlce are within a short distance of the Bug river. one of the main supports of the Brest- Litovsk line It is believed the Rus sians originally intended to hold this line.

First Document Dispatche~ in English to Mexico City Directed to the Various Latin-American Legations to Be Translated
DIRECT APPEAL
 TO THE CHIEFS
Today Document in Orig inal Spanish Will Be Sent Carranza, Villa and Others Opposition EX- pected from CalTanza
ASSOCIATED PRESS DrsPArcH1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The Pan American appeal to all elements in Mexico to cease fighting and join 9 movement to restore a constitutional government began to go forward from the state department tonight. The first document was dispatched in English to Mexico City ard was di- rccted to various Latin-American legations whose attaches will trans late it into Spanish and deliver 70 the military leaders in that vicinity.
 Tomorrow the appeal in original Spanish will be forwarded directly to Villa, Carrdnza, governors of the states and many other chiefs in diff ferent parts o+ the country. The text will be made public here tn a few days. Carranza is the only chief expected to oppose the movement, and even in some quarters it Is be- Heved he may respond favorably after he has studied its friendly tone care fully
 With the appeal dispatched the United States will institute a friendly and persistent effort to induce the Mexican leaders who have thus far shown a disposition to oppose the movement to sacrifice their personal views in common with the Mexican interest. It is expected that Carranza will maintain the defiance indicated in the recent communications to his agency, but t Is regarded as proba- ble that many of his generals and other adherents can be induced to join the peace convention. It is be- 1ieved here if a few CarranZa gener- aIs participate in the convention Of factions it will not be long before organized opposition to new gov ernment could be effectively checked.
 Tn this connection it has been re- ported that General Hugh Scott, chief Of staff of the army, who is remain ina, at the border at the request Of the state department, is expected to perform important missionary work. General Scott knows many of the Mexican military leaders personally and it is believed he may exert a powerful influence.
 Absolutely no resistance to the plan is expected from any source other than Carranza. General Villa and his adherents made it clear in state ment issued bv Diaz Lombardo, for

 BROWNSVILLE, Aug. 13.-United States cavalry, infantrymen, Texas rangers and civilians acting as peace officers numbering in all about 1900 are patrollng the international bor- der tonight between Laredo and Brownsville, as a precaution against the repetition of the raids of Mexican bandits which have created a reign of terror in the Texas border coun- ties the past week. Only one band of raiders is known to still be in tact It is believed they number in the neighborhood of 30, and the posses tonight are searching the country for fifty miles north of here in an effort to locate and arrest or disband the marauders.
 The gang is said to be that which on Sunday attacked the Norias ranch house. Some members of the gang are known to have crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico and it is said the gangs avowed intention was to conquer a portion of Texas. Manuel Rincones who said he was forced to join the band, said he had given Captain Anderson of the Twelfth U. s. Infantry a statement asserting the chiefs of the band were named Louis, Miguel and Gabriel, and that they carried a white flag on which was embroidered the yellow letter "E."

FOR NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
 0F STATE TAX OFFICERS

with which many if not all of the states are confronted.
 The trouble with our tax system istrative No state. I think. is suf- fering to a great extent because of too little tax legislation. It is not new tax legislation that we most want. but a simplification of the laws we already have and improved meth ods of their administration.
 Tn nearly every state, we find the tax doctor who, wherever any tax ill appears to him, runs to the legis- lature for a remedy. The result is that we are almost constantly enact comes more and more confusing to the tax-paying people. The influences of q national association of tax of ficers would surely work for improve ment in such conditions"
 MT. Lord cited the present associa- tion of state tax officials of the New England states as evidence of the beneficial results to be obtained.
 There is no question" he said, that these meetings of taxing of ficials, where administrative problems are freely discussed, are productive of much good in that there is an ap- parent improvement in administrative methods and a better understanding of the governing tax statutes It is hoped that those states which have not yet formed similar organization will soon do so.'

The Great Drives of The Allied
Forces Will Still Continue
LFrom the Nvashington Post.l

Those who assume that the great
drive Of Kitchener. Joifre and French
has ended with the repulses in Cham
pagne and the recapture by the Germans
of portions of the lines which the Brit
ish took from them in the assaults of
the 25th 26th and 9th of September
arc very much in error.
True IL is that the French losses in
killed and wounded were enormous and
those of the British exceedingly heavy,
but both these allied armies can lose
twice as many without losing the initi-
ative, and the situation in France, in
Great Britain, in Russia. at the Darda-
nelles in the Balkans and in the Scan
dinavian countries virtually compels the
continuation of the vigorous offensive on
the lines of Belgium and northern
France.
"'rhe greatest battle of modern
times" as the struggle from Souchez
north TO La Bassee has been termed, is
not ended and will not be ended until
the Germans are driven from all their
present fortified lines in that sector, OF
until the great sacrifices of life by the
British and French commanders have
been found devoid of important results
The results hoped for from the - hours
of artillery fire on the 22d. 23d and oath
of September and the subsequent days
Of assault of the German lines were not
attained.
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1915-10-11

The Germans were severely hammer
ed, but not beaten, driven or conquered.
The French and the British made adj
vances. but not to any decisive extent.
The issue is still in allegiance and the
artillery work of the allies during the
last two days may be regarded as the
preparation of leveling the German
parapcts in order that the allies infan-
try, artillery and cavalry may repeat
the charges of ten days ago.
There will be assault after assault in
large forces by the allies before their
commanders win consider their offensive
ended, and the defense of the German
soldiers will be put TO the supreme test
before the end Of the present month.
The next test Of the Dardanelles will
be made within the next few days by
both land and sea forces of the allies
for their commanders at the Gallipoli
peninsula recognize full well not only
the Importance of ordinating their
attacks with those of the lines in Rus.
STA, France Belgium and Italy, but Of
the dangers that win come 70 both naval
and military operations with the storm:
which strike that peninsula usually
about October 10 to 20.
The remaining three weeks of Octo
Der will be weeks of constant battling
and will probably prove the decisive
weeks of the war.
