edy Conditions.

In the face of the Russian claims
that the Austro-German grip On
Przemysl had been broken and that
the offensive in the great Galician
struggle had passed to the Russians,
came both German and Austrian Off
cial statements Tuesday night assert
ing that the Austro-German troops
have been successful to the north and
the southeast of the fortress, that the
forts girdling it to the north have
fallen into their hands. while to the
south they have wrested Stry from
the Russians.
In fact, says London. the Austro-
Germans say that the campaign is
running in their favor everywhere in
the eastern zone from Libau in the
north to the southern-most tip of the
Galician battle line. 1t is apparent
that the Russians since being forced
back to the San have been rushing up
heavy reinforcements in the nope of
averting the fall of PrZemysi. But
the Austro-Germans. undeterred by
the stupendous losses, have as yet
shown little disposition to accept
purely defensive role and the British
critics seem to have been bit prema-
ture in saying that the German thrust
had definitely failed.

MILITIA FUNDS AVAILABLE;
GARRISON WRITES MANNING
Property Survey Being Satisfactory,
War Secretary Offers Money
for State Use.

The property loss shortage has
been adjusted with the federal gov
ernment and South Carolina will now
obtain the federal appropriation for
the National Guard of this state.
This information was made known
through letter from Lindsey NJ.
Garrison, secretary of war, to Gov.
Manning, in which the secretary said
."I am now informed that the results
of the, federal inspection of 1915
have been communicated to you and
the shortage in quartermaster and
ordnance supplies for which the state
is accountable has been satisfactorily
adjusted by survey proceedings. It,
therefore, gives me great pleasure to
inform you that the suspension as
far as concerns the use Of the fed
-eral funds allotted to the state OF
South Carolina now remaining avail
able for the present fiscal year is re-
moved"
The property shortage was origi-
nally S104. 900. but this hcs been set
tied, and the balance Of the federal
funds available for the National
Guard of South Carolina will be
about thirty-fve thousand dollars.
Gov. Manning, Adjt. Gen. Moore
and United States Senators Tillman
and Smith will confer with Secretary
Garrison and Brig. Gen. Mills, chief
division militia affairs, in Washington
lon Friday regarding: the South Caro-
lima National Guard, and it is the
hope of the South Carolina officials
that more credit will be secured from
the government on the property and
more funds released for the militia
of this state.

SUBMARINES VERY BUSY;
SINK SEVERAL Big SHIPS
London Tells Of Unusual Activity of
rndersea Boats During the
Last Few Days.

London reports Monday: German
submarines have been usually busy
while the German foreign office was
engaged in preparation Of its answer
to the Washington note on the Lu5i-
tania incident The last few days, it
is pointed out in London, provided
them with heavy bag of big mer-
chant ships.
These include the steamer Ehi-
ope, thirty-seven hundred tons and
the Tullochmoor, thirty-fye hundred
tons, sunk by submarines Friday in
the approaches to the English chan
mel. On Saturday the British steam
er Ping Suey. belonging to the Holt
Line, was attacked twice by German
undersea boats within the space of
five hours. but she succeeded in &C.
Gaping into Plymouth.
Another victim was the steamer
Gienlee. of four thousand tons, un-
der somewhere between the British
and French coast recently. In the
North Sea German submarine sent
the Russian ship Mars to the bottom
a few days ago. and the losses of the
British steamers Spennymoor and
Cadeby have been reported.
Thus within the space of three
days six ships of considerable size
have been sent to the bottom by Ger
man submarines and six lives have
been lost. Furthermore, the trans
Atlantic liner Megantic had a narrow
escape from an attack by German
Submersible.

COWBOYS RESCUE AMERICANS
Ride Over Mexican Border, Level
Guns and Accomplish Purpose.

A posse of ten Americans cowboys
and miners rode eight miles across
the Mexicanborder into Santa Cruz,
Sonora, Saturday afternoon, levelled
their guns at the colonel commanding
the garrison, while one hundred and
fifty soldiers looked on, and obtained
the release of two American boys kid
mapped early Saturday by three of the
soldiers on the Arizona side of the
border.
The colonel gave up his two seven
teen-year-old prisoners, Henry Chang,
son Of Chinese-American citizen of
Washington Camp, Arizona, and Geo.
Vaughn, son Of storekeeper at Du-
fuesne, without demur, and the posse
rode triumphantly back to the United
States.
Santa Cruz is garrisoned by forces
of Jose Maytorena, the Villa Govern
or of Sonora o. K. Franklin, a
miner, reported the kinapping. He
saw the three Mexican soldiers,
mounted, near the border, driving the
boys, who were on foot, ahead of
them at the point of revolvers. The
boys hands were tied.
Army officers were notified. as was
Sheriff w. H. Mcknight. who prompt
ly started out with a-posse. Mean
time cowboys and miners from Du-
quesne had taken the trail, with the
announced intention, which they pro-
ceeded to carry out. Of going into
Sonora to rescue the boys.

ly, the negotiations with Italy were
already under way when Greece made
her first refusal, and Italy took i'm
mediat advantage of this to demand
as her slice of Turkey not only the
territory OF Adalia southwestern
Asia minor, but Dorthward extern
sion therefrom to include Smyrna
and its hinterland; claiming that
Smyrna's bay and it's railroad sys-
tenn would be necessary to the proper
development and protection of Ada
lia-land. Russia supported Premier
Salandra, saying that she would not
have Greece settled there as dan
gerous neighbor to the future Rus
sian territory lining the Dardanelles;
and the bargain was made.
This is why We see to-day the three
powers of the Entente proceeding by
their own might. without any outside
aid, to furnish the land forces neces-
sary to the capture of the strait.
Meanwhile the full repairing of the
wrong done Bulgaria has become i'm
perative to them, aside from the
Turkish question, in order to permit
hOuulduld jOluiuS 1ldlS Ill IuC do-
sault upon Austria; and they will
need the Bulgar aid still more very
soon, when they find that their task
in the strait is so much more for
midable than expected, and so full
of perils to their forces engaged.
The material reparation to Bul-
garia (she has certainly had the
moral) will probably therefore take
this form:
/. Immediate repossession of the
Dobrudja Tor most of it,, and of
Thrace to the line of Enos-Midia as
soon as possible.
,. Immediate cession by Serbia of
a part of her holdings in Macedonia.
and guarantees by all the powers for
the cession of the rest at the wars
end
3. An agreement by ell parties, as
to Greece's holdings and the seaports,
that Bulgaria shall be allowed to set
tie with her alone-to recover what
is due, and administer the final pun
ishment. E. W.

RELY ON ALLIED PRESSURE
SAVE RUSSIAN FORTRESS
London Hopes Germans Will Have to
Transfer Galician Forces to
Italy and the West.

Around the great fortress OF
Przemysl a mighty battle is still rag
ing. The kustro-German armies are
making supreme effort to cut off
the stronghold and free three armies
for operations against Italy and the
allies in the west.
Although great human !secriices
are being made, London says pro-
gress 1atterly has been extremely
slow as the Russians have had time
to bring up larse reinforcements.
North of Przemysl the Russians
appears to be more than holding their
own, but to the southeast the Aus
trians; and Germans claim further
headway and now command with
their artillery the railway between
Przemysl and Grodek, which runs
just south of the main line between
Przemysl and Lemberg. From Lem
berg the Russians draw a large por-
ton of their reinforcements and sup
plies.
The battle is still undecided and
hopes run high in the allied camps
that the Russians can hold their lines
until the advance of the Italians and
the Strengthening of the Anglo
French armies compel the Germans
to- withdraw part OF their armies
from Galicia.

BERNSTORFF SEES WILSON;
RECEIVED In BLUE ROOM
German Ambassador Realizes Critical

Count Bernstorh, the German am

Count Bernstorf, the German am
bassador, had-an audience with Pres
ident Wilson Wednesday at noon.
The president received the ambassa-
dor in the historic Blue Room of the
White House.
The meeting between the president
OF the United States and the ambas-
sador of the imperial German govern
ment was the first sought by Count
Won Hernstorff since last September.
when he returned from Germany af-
was to pay respects.
Wednesdays visit was concerned
with the delicate relations that have
arisen between Germany and the
United States over loss of more than
one hundred Americans when the
Lusitania was sunk. and other viola
tions of American rights on the high
seas.
The German ambassador has told
friends that he realizes the serious
ness of the situation and is anxious
to do all he can personally to prevent
rupture in friendly relations. He is
unable to communicate easily. how
ever, with his government because
German cables were cut by the allies.
Consequently high officials did moi
believe the ambassador could bring
any proposal from the German gov
ernment differing from the answer
which Herr Won Jagow, the German
fore:sl minister, gave to the Ameri-
van note last Saturday. This was
pronounced unsatisfactory in cabinet
council Monday.
The Importance of the conference
however, lies in the fact that al
though the interview was sought
without instruction from the German
government, the views which the
president might express to the am
bassador would be Transmitted by the
latter to Berlin and would naturally
be taken into considerable there il
| connection with the note which the
United States government plans tt
send before the end of the present
week.

REPORT ON COTTON
CROP CONDITION
Government Issues Statement on Con-
dition of Crop by
States.

The newly planted cotton crop OF
the United States showed . condition
Of so per cent. of normal on May
25, the department of agriculture an
nounced Tuesday in it's first condition
report of the season, which had been
awaited with interest by cotton, tex
tile and other interests. That condl-
ton compares with ,74.3 on May 20
last year. 79.1 in 1913. 1873 in 1912,
SIS in 1911 and 79.5 the average
for the past ten years on May 25.
Until the official report of the gov
ernment estimating the area planted
is issued July l, no calculation will
be made by the departments crop eX-
perts as to the probable size of the
crop. The record yield last season,
the decreased foreign takings because
of the war, and the low price OF cot
ton early this season, are believed to
have influenced planters to reduce
their planting to some extent.
No official reports as to the extent
OF the reduction have been made, but
unofficial estimates place the area
planted at from 10 to 20 per cent.
less than last year. The preliminary
estimates of the planted area made
last year by the department of agri-
culture last July was $780, 900
acres
While the early season nearly
everywhere in the cotton belt was
backward for vegetation, planting
operations were carried on success
fully. The soil in the western part
of the belt w: well supplied with
moisture but eastward drought de-
veloped. Toward May l excessive
rains in Texas and Oklahoma made a
lreplanting necessary to some extent
but the drought in the east continued
An unfavorable week, except in the
Central States, followed. During the
second week of the month good rains
broke the drought in the Eastern
States, but in the West conditions
were unfavorable because of con
tinued rains. The following week
was the best in all portions of the
belt the crop had this season.
Generally favorable weather pre-
vailed, but little rain occurred in The
belt during the final week of the
month. The soil in those portions o
the belt where rainfall was light was
in most cases, supplied with sufficien
moisture for present needs and M
harmful effects were produced, excep
locally in Mississippi and Southern
Texas where the late planted needed
moisture and in Louisiana, where thu
| IRON was s,1fferjnp for 1acE of rain
In Oklahoma and portions of Arkan
sas the soil was too wet for cultiva
ton and the crop was becomin:
grassy, but in all other portions o
the belt the early planted was up to {
good stand and we'll cultivated.
