DISASTROUS REPULSE
Said to Have Been Met by Teutons
Who Attacked Ossowiec.

London, July 15.-The renewed &C
tivity Of the Germans north of the Wis
tula and south of the Niemen has SO
far been without success, according to
dispatches from Petrograd Their ad.
vance in the neighborhood of Suwalki
netted them nothing, while their re-
newed attack upon the fortress town
of Ossowiec is said to have been a
disastrous repulse It is said in the
dispatches that the Germans nave lost
$4,000 killed and wounded besides be-
ing driven out of their first line Of
trenches.
Conditions attending the siege OF
Ossowiec are different from those n
the south or in Galicia. Ossowiec has
big guns with sufficient ammunition,
and the roads are such that the Ger
mans can not bring up their 17-inch
howitzers, which did such fearful ex-
ecution in the Carpathian drive.
The situation in south Poland and
Galicia shows no change. Apparently
the armies Of Generals Won Macken-
sen and Won Linsingen, as well as the
divisions of Won Woyrasch, are rest
ing. The Austrians under Archduke
Ferdinand retreated from the north of
Krasnik.

KILL IT
Willis Gerymander Would Give
G.O.P.U Undue Representation
In Congress- Ordinarily Casting
But Half of Vote of State, Plot
for IL of ~ Members.

Referendum petitions have been
placed in circulation in Mercer Coun-
ty, seeking to bring to a vote of the
people the infamous congressional
gerrymander, made purely for polit-
ical purposes by the Willis general
assembly The petitions are being
circulated through the regular Dem
ocratic organization in keeping with
teh decision of the state committees.
Every citizen, who believes in fair
play for President Wilson, should
sign one of the petitions and should
vote against the gerrymandering act
next November. He should urge
every neighbor to do likewise. 1t is
time stop was put to the gerry
mander business in this state, as it
will lbe if the people act in the case.
The Sprague gerrymander bill
seeks to divide Ohio so as to make
possible the election Of II Republi-
cans and only Democrats, and for
the benefit of certain Republican dis
tricts it makes the election of Re-
publicans in other districts impossi-
BILE.
The redistrcting act Of the pre-
ceeding general assembly lade nee
essary to conform to the o census
was much fairer divislS Under
it the Republicans -eleg 4 13 con-
gressmen and the DemoA 80 The
average vote would make a more
equal division.
Next year there will likely be uni
versal demand for the return of Pres
ident Wilson. He will desire a Dem
ocratic congress to support him, be-
cause he will need men to help him
who are in sympathy with his views.
The difference in political complex
ion of three congressmen-or even |
one or two-may mean the swing of |
the balance in congress. This fact |
makes the gerrymander of general
Importance and should override any
petty feeling in local quarters where
the partisans of President Wilson
think they have been given personal
strength. Every Democratic con-
gresham, and every aspirant for
1916, owes to his state, to his party
and to the national administration.
to assist in every possible way to ov-
the Willis gerrymander.
Take UP the work Of getting sigma
lures to petitions and see that the
people get a chance to hit this in
famousact squarely between the eyes
at the November election.

PACKERS
Appeal to State Department, De-
mRnding England Stop In
terferIng With CargOes.

Washington, July 15.-The big meat
packers Of the United States appealed
to the state department to demand
that Great Britain stop interfering
with their cargoes consigned to nou.
tral ports and settle for $4,000. 900
worth Of their products now held up
in prize courts. They charge the
British government with the destruc,
tion Of commerce in food products be-
tween the United States and other
neutral nations.
After two conferences between tle
packers and Chandler Anderson, spe-
cial counselor Of the state depart
ment, it was announced that the ,lc-
partment would make representations
to Great Britain. 1t is understood
that this will be done Immediately.
In a statement outlining their case
as laid before the state departm ant,
they declare tnat the British govern.
ment purposely delays settlement OF
their claims for seized cargoes. and
that they are not inclined to reopen
trade with neutral countries unless
they can be assured of delivery Of
their shipments to ports designated

Make Noteworthy Gain

German Ambassador Feels That If tn,
United States Takes Initiative In
Securing Pledges From Great Brit
ain and Germany For Free Seas II
May Bring About the End Of the War
Proposal Not In Favor at Capital.
washington, July 15.-The rapidity
with which progress shall be made to
ward decision in regard to the issue
with Germany now depends chiefiE
upon President Wilson. Secretary OF
State Lansing and those assisting him
In the drafting Of memoranda have
but little more time so far as the first
stage Of the procedure in handling the
problem is concerned.
1t is not now expected there will oe
any consideration of the matter oy
the president and his advisers assem-
bled in cabinet at the White House
until next Tuesday. Considerable mat.
ter bearing upon the issue has been
transmitted to the president by mail.
Meantime officials see some eyi.
dences that the Germans are desirous
that their case should have a supple.
mentary hearing in addition to its
presentation in the note from the Ger.
man government. 1t is known that
the German ambassador, Count Won
Bernstorff, will have a talk with Sec
retary Lansing, while unofficial re.
' a.a taken here tc
indicate that efforts are being made
10 44odly tne unlayorable impression
caused by the note itself.
It is known mere that the German
ambassador wishes to emphasize GER
tain points in his governments note,
particularly in reference to the phrase
freedom of the seas" and also re-
garding the suggestion that the Unit
ed States end the submarine warfare
by serving as mediator between Ger
many and Great Britain. The ambas.
sador feels tnat great opportunity
lies before this government in the
present situation; that if it will take
the initiative in securing pledges from
Great Britain and Germany for the
freedom of the SEAS" it may bring |
about the end of the war.
It develops, however, that the phrase
freedom of the seas" is not defined |
IN the same way at the German en-
1assy and the state department. The
American government feels that Ger
many has violated the freedom of tne
seas in killing noncombatants and
and in attacking neutral ves-
,els on the highways of commerce. 1t
S, indeed, pressing Germany to re-
ipect the freedom of the seas in this
particular.
The German proposal, on the other
land, is that the slate be wiped clean
" instituting a freedom of seas
Vhich shall make all commerce abso-
utely free in time of war as well as
n peace.
The impression prevails that the adj.
will refuse to yield its
laims on the submarine issue with
iermany for the sake of trying to in.
titute an ideal condition. !

FREEDOM
Of the Seas a Phrase That Won
BerRStOrff Would Discuss

French, Gathering Energy Out Of
Their Defeat, Penetrate For Some
Distance Into German Possessions
West Of the Argonne Forest-crown
Prince Leads the German Assault.
Days Operations.
London. July 8. - When the guns
ceased to roar in the Argonne and
dawn broke the Germans we're in pos.
session OF a mile of trenches, north
east OF Vienne-le-Ch Chateau, which TWEEN.
ty-four hours previously had been oc-
cupied by the French. Across from
this front the German troops under
the crown prince had charged with
might and main, the impetus OF their
first assault carrying them over the
heavily entrenched ground until they
penetrated a third of mile into the
French Notifications.
But the assault was stopped. The
French troops, gathering energy out
OF their defeat pressed into the Ger
man lines west Of the Binarville to
Vienne-le-C Chateau road. At the same
time another section of the French
troops charged from their trenches
and penetrated for some distance into
the German possessions west of the
Argonne forest. So, in a measure, the
German gain was counter balanced by
the French. But the Paris official
statement does not mention the extent
OF the French gains. On the other
hand, both Berlin and Paris agree that
the German advance northeast of
Vienne-le-Chateau was over front OF
about one mile to depth of one-third
Of mile-a very appreciable gain.
The scene of the fighting is between
Verdun, the great French stronghold,
and Rheims. It is in a slightly hiily
country so that the German charge
was made up hill. Eight miles farther
on lies the main highway between
Verdun and Rheims. 1t was here that
the Germans, according to the Berlin
statement. took 1851 uninjured prison
ers, including officers. and drove up
to the first line of French batteries, |
rendering eight cannon useless. These
batteries lie between the German |
front and the French front, while the
Germans, as a result of their success,
possess two field cannon, two revolver
cannon, six machine guns and a large
quantity Of tools
According to an Athens dispatch tho
allies made four assaults on the Turk
ish positions on the Gallipoli penin-
sula They finally occupied two hills
refending Krithia and took 1900
Turks prisoners, the dispatch says.

[By Rev Howard b. Grose, d. D..
Vice President of the United So
ciety Of Christian Endeavorl
The Chicago Christian EndeavoI
Convention OF 1915 will go down in
the records as one of the most sig
nifcant Of the twenty-seven Interna-
tional Conventions of Christian En-
deayor, completing two of the most
successful years in the history of the
movement. II will lbe noted because
of its numbers, enthusiasm and SUI
perb setting in the gaily-decorated
Coliseum.
1t will be historic because of the
election of Daniel A. Polling, of Ohio,
os Presidents Associate, and his en-
trance upon his great and RESPONSE
BILE Office with the universal acclaim
of the more than $4,000 delegates
who packed the Coliseum again and
again.
Mr.. Polling is DR.. Francis Clarl's
personal choice, and is in every way
admirably fitted for the place As
member Of the Flying Squadron that
has done so much for the cause of
national prohibition, he has gained
wide acquaintance and recognition
as orator and thinker. A product of
Junior Christian Endeavor, he has
been closely identified with the work
as state president and secretary in
Ohio, and chairman of the citizen
ship and temperance committee.
The absence of DR.. Clark, founder
of Christian Endeavor, on account of
serious illness, occasioned deep re-
gret, land the Convention sent him
its deep sympathy and love as the
first act of the opening session on
Wednesday evening, in the follow
ing message:
This 27th International and 5th |
Worlds Convention of Christian En-
deavor, as its first action, desires to
send you its Christian greeting and |
its message Of heartfelt sympathy, in
the hope that the expression of our
regret because Of you reinforced alb
sence and of our deep appreciation
of your immeasurable service to the
cause which has engaged you Rife,
may bring cheer and comfort to the
sick room and that our united pray
ers mtay grid you for speedier re-
covery of health and strength in
Gods good providence Our hearts
go ou ito you, beloved leader and
friend, in loyalty and love, and in
response to your words
Of greeting and Godspeed We send
you what we know you will value
the most highly-our pledge of con-
tinued and increased devotion to
