 Their report shall be ad- dressed to the Secretary of the Interior and shall be re- ferred to a central board of review composed of ElWood Meade, Gen. w. L. Marshall and l. D. O'Donnell.

TEUTON DRIVE ON
WARSAW HALTED
Russian Reinforcements
Check Enemy Near
Lubin Railway
ARRAS is IN FLAMES
Cathedral Destroyed as Result oil
German Observation-Disclosures
Lose Heavily.

London, July S-By the employ
ment of strong reinforcements the
Russians have temporarily at least
checked the German advance
toward the Lublin Railway, which,
if successful, would seriously lmperil
Warsaw.
The Russians claim to have infict-
ed a serious defeat on the Austro-
German Army in the region OF kras-
nick, south of that railway, while the
Austriars tonight state that the
battle was invigorated by the partlcl-
patton of strong Russian reserves. "
So far as communications are con-
.erned the Russians now have the ad-
;antage of positions. as they have 4
splendid system of railway behlnd
them on which they can quickly move
troops and guns to the threatened
areas
This battle, one Of many since the
Austro- Germans commenced their
drive through Galicia, has only just
commenced, but according to dISpat-
hes received in Geneva from Aus
trian sources the Russians have thus
far had the best of it and since Mon"
day have inflicted very heavy losses
on the invaders. These dispatches
state that thousands of wounded are
continually arriving in Lemberg'
PrzemySl and .Taros!au.
The much-heraldcd German OIL
slaught in the West thus far has beer
confined to the Woevre region, where
he army of the German Crown Prince
IS on the offensive and making efforts
to regain. the ground which it lost
to the French in April, when the lat
ter attempted to force the wlthdra-
wal of what is known as the st.
Mihiel wedge. The Germans have
won SOME trenches at the tip of tn
wedge, but at other points accord
ing to French accounts, :they were
repulsed with heavy losses.
I:Artillery : combats continue from
Arir4as to the sea and it is stated that
as a. result of the German lombard
ment Arras is in flames and its cathe.
dral destroyed.

IN AMERICAN WATERS
Reported Plan to Operate Subma'
rines OFF Canada.

Washington, July S-State Depart,
ment officials view with great con
cern a plan said to he under considera
tion by the German navy to establish
submarine base off the coast ot
Canada.
The department is convinced that
Germany now has submarines easily
capable of making the trip from VII
belmshayen to the Canadian Coast
but without a base Of supplies CT
this side of the ocean these subma
rines would be starved into surreA.
der.
It is admitted by the department
that the establishment Of such base
for an attack on shipping from Cana.
dian ports would be far different
in it's legal aspects from the German
and English naval warfare off the
coast of South America. 1t was &c.
clared it would be as much an lnva-
sion of the North American contl-
nent by an European power as was
the French invasion Of Mexico, which

ITALY SEEKSsGAS
Contracts for Liquid Chlorine in Me-

10000 Tons.

New York, July S-That German!

asphyxiating gases is pade apparent
through the appearance of advertise
nents in local newspapers calling foi
bids for supplying machinery for it:
manufacture and for experts to pre-
pare the deadly stuff for contractor:
for the Italian government.
A.. G. Dal-Brun, of the Hotel Sar
Reno, who is responsible for the ad

ne has been shipping liquid chlorine
n metal cylinders for some time, bu:
said he was still short 10000 tors. |.
has been found impossible to lIquefy
it successfully in Italy.
American manufacturers who make
it under license from German paten-
tees for use in laundries, bleaching
cotton goods. ETC., are for the most
part under contract not to supply The
product for export. A ton per mile
Dal-Brun said, is necessary to ac'
,omplish results. In view of this de-
mand for man. killing purposes laun.
dry liquid chloride has risen fron
five cents pound to eight and hall

BRYAN FAVORS
A SECOND TERM
Wrote Letter Favoring Ex-
!. emption for. Wilson,
Says. Carlin
DETAILS MAY FOLLOW,
Commoner's Failure to Deny Report
That He Will Raise One-Term IS
sue Deemed Significant.

Washington, July S-The fact ha
come to light that former Secretar,
of State William j. Bryan is on re
cord as favoring the exemption Of
President WILSON from the one-tern
pledge of the Baltimore platform.
This is the pledge which Mr.. Bryan
will invoke, it has been declared, II
an effort to prevent the denomination
of the President when the next Demo
cratic National Convention assem-
bles.
Representative Carlin, OF Virginia
for a time acting chairman OF the
House Judiciary Committee, IN a
statement made it clear that a letter
from Mr.. Bryan is on file which Will
prevent the Commoner from raising
the one-term issue Mr.. Carlln mas
lust returned from Annapolis, where
he has been appearing before the
court of inquiry at the Naval AGA
deny.
president Wilson will be renom''
mated and reelected" said Mr.. Ca:'
lin. "The Republicans have no man
to match him and l expect him tc
have an easy return to the Whlte
House. I do not expect any opposl'
tion to him within his own party ard
T know no man whom the Republicans
can bring out who would be big
enough in the opinion of the country
to cope with him as a candidate.
81 believe Mr.. Bryan will warmly
support the President for reelection
and am sure he is being mlsrepre'
sented as for his views on the one
term plank, for l happen to know thai
after that plan was adopted and Whlit
the one term constitutional amend
ment was pending before the Judi
ciary Committee of the, House, the
Senate having passed it unanimous
w; Mr.. Bryan wrote letter to tne
committee which will forever preclude
him from attempting to- either, EN-
barrass or oppose Mr. Wilson on that
ground. In justice to Mr.. Bryan an'
to all parties concerned l may CIV
the details of the latter to the puoA'
later on"
At the time the constitutional
amendment to which Mr.. Carlin re
fers was under consideration it wa:
generally understood that Mr.. Bryan
had gone on record as opposing an!
enactment that would prevent Presl
dent Wilson from aspiring to sec
onsd term The statement today, how
ever, is the first direct information
to that effect which has come fron
inside the Judiciary Committee.
It is regarded as significant, on tn
other hand, that Mr.. Bryan has per
mitted to go undenied for 10 day
the statements attributed to him t.
the effect that he would raise the on
term issue in opposition to the pFes'
dents denomination.

SUCCESS OF ALLIES
One of The Most Energetic Engage.
ments That Has Taken Place in the
Attempt to Enter Dardanelles

London, July S-T'he Turkish forces
completely failed in the big attac..
which they began on July 4, agalnS:
the Anglo-French forces on the DaY
; danelles, according to statement Is
sued by the official press bureau:
which added that the Turks lost hea-
Willy. The statement says:
General Sir Ivan Hamilton reports
that the night of July 3-4 was quie;
in the northern section, but at 4 a.
NJ. the enemy started heavy bonn
bardment of the trenches. All the
guns used previously against us and
some new ones were in action, but
the bombardment died away about S
?. NJ. without doing much damage.
During the bombardment about 20
11.2 inch shells were dropped from
Il Turkish battleShip in the Strafes.
''In the southern section the Turks
kept up 4 heavy musketry fire along
the whole line daring ire night, and
did not leave their trenches. At a y.
M. their batteries started the most
violent bombardment that has yet
been experienced. At least 800 rounds
of artillery ammunition were eXpend-
cd by them.
"Meanwhile this shelling Of our
lines on the peninsula proved the pre-
liminary tn Il general attack on our
front with special efforts at certain
points. The principal effort was made
at the junction Of the Royal Nava!
Division section with that Of the
French.
"Here, at 1880 A. NJ. the Turks
drove back our advance troops and
assaulted d portion of the line held
by the Royal Naval Division. Some
30 Turks gained a footing in our
trenches. where nevertheless. some
men of the Royal Naval Division held
on to our supports and the men VINO
had retired attacked immeGl-
atelv and hurled the Turks out OF the
trench again.
"Another attack on the right of the
Twenty-ninth Division section was
practically wiped out by rifle and ma
chine gun fire. On our left the IurES
massed in Il nullah, to the northeast
Of our newly-completed trenches, and
attempted several attacks. None o.
these was able to get home owing 10
the steadincss Of our troops and our
effective artillery support. The bom-
bardment died down toward II A. NJ,
though it was resumed at intervals.
Not only was the result a COM
plete failure, but while our losses
were negligible and no impression
was made on our line, the enemy adj
ded large number to his recent very
heavy casualties.
