ITALY PUTS BLOCK
IN PATH OF ALLIES

Geneva, Aug. 16.-Italy's warning
to Servia to keep hands off Albania
continues one of the chief stumbling
blocks in the efforts of the allies to
win Bulgaria to their side
Servia fears Italy will refuse to
sanction her occupancy of territory
along the Adriatic coast in exchange
for concessions to Bulgaria.
The allies have been told that un-
less Italy gives positive assurances
that she will not attempt to thwart
Servia's ambitions Servia cannot even
consider a request to cede Servian
Macedonia to Bulgaria. Advices re-
ceived here from both Nish and Rome
indicated that this was what Seryia
meant in recent official declaration
that she was willing to negotiate with
Bulgaria if other powers adopted q
more conciliatory tone.
The allied representatives are now
expected to make representations to
Rome The belief prevails here that
Italy will make no definite promise
regarding disposition of Albania be
fore the end of the war.

GERMANS ARE NOT
AFTER PETROCRAD

Berlin, Aug. 16.-The second phase
of the campaign on the Eastern front
is drawing rapidly to elose-the Rus
sian center giving ground in its re-
treat to the Kovno-Brest Litovsk line.
Military critics here believe the op-
erations against Russia will be en-
tirely completed within a few weeks.
They do not expect to see any
march on Petrograd. The opinion
here is that Russia has already been
dealt a blow from which she can
scarcely recover before the allies are
forced into peace negotiations.
The popular demand is that Ger
many shall wheel her armies into a
new campaign on another front.
The fall of Warsaw left to the Slavs
only Brest Litovsk as a base for the
operations of her field armies. Should
Brest Litovsk be surrendered to the
Austro-Germans the grand dukes ar
mics will be scattered forces, operat-
ing from separate bases and unable
to concentrate effectively in any great
offensive campaign.

the entering wedge for negotiations

factions.

directly to CarranZa. Villa and Zapa
ta. Other copies are being forward
ed to governors of all Mexican states
military and civil authorities and
diplomatic representatives of all coun
tries in Mexico.
General Funston reported border

Brownsville, Tex, Aug. 16.-There
are indications of possible co-opera-
ton from Carranza forces on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande In the
cleanup of bandits now being made in
the Brownsville section by rangers
and United States troops. 1t was re-
ported that Carranza troops fired on
Mexicans who were trying to cross
from the American side into Mexico
near Mercedes. 1t is believed the
Mexicans who tried to escape were
part of the band which crossed from
Mexico near Mercedes.
Efforts continued to surround these
Mexicans i'm the brush ON the Ameri.

London, Aug. 16.-Steady progress
for the forces of Prince Leopold of
bavaria eastward from Warsaw is
taken here to indicate the Germans
are massing their main movements
on a drive through the Russian Gen.
ter and the continuance of the en-
veloping effect in the north along the
Dvina Petrograd and Berlin agree
that the Germans have occupied the
towns of Sokolow. Siedlce and Lu-
kow, forming a German front about
sixty miles east of Warsaw and fifty
miles wide.
This is more than half way to
-Litovsk, which Grand Duke
Nicholas, the Russian commander-in-
chief, hoped to make the new center
of his defense. 1t is regarded as
probable this point will be abandoned,
owing TO the speed of the German ad-
vance since the fall of Warsaw and
the continued pressure of the armies
of Generals Gallwitz, Scholz, Eich-
horn and Flack, forming a semicircle
closing in toward the north.
Petrograd asserts the Germans
have been checked between Poniew-
esch and Dyinsk. For the moment,
however, the intensity of the fighting
is giving way to a scramble of the re-
firing forces to avoid the enveloping
net and the rapid advance of the Ger
mans to gather the full fruits of the
fall of Warsaw.
Determine Tide Soon.
The outcome of these movements
probably will be indicated within a
day or two whether Grand Duke
Nicholas win be able to resume the
offensive along the new front or will
concentrate his energies in rear guard
fighting. during a slow retirement.
German correspondents accompany
ing the invading armies say the Rus
SLAMS are following the tactics of the
Napoleonic campaign, laying waste
the country which they abandon, SO
that the advancing Germans find in
the smoking ruins of towns and vii
lagos the same lack of shelter as
Napoleon found when he marched to
Moscow.
Operations in the Western field vir-
tually have been halted, except for
occasional local trench skirmishes
War clouds continue to gather over
the Balkans. A Central News dis
patch from Amsterdam reports Ger
many is preparing for eventualities
by transporting 10000 troops from
Warsaw to the Servian frontier.
Reports from the east coast of Eng
land say the Zeppelins which partici
pated in the recent raid were plainly
visible. Crowds gathered on the bal
comics of hotels and watched tn'
aerial battle in which the dirigibles
were driven off by British airships
after having been first attacked by
anti-aircraft guns.

the legitimate field of a cleaning es-
Enlistment, according to the old
idea of things, but, Dreshers have
proved that every department added
is a department which is perfectly
consistent with the other workings
of first class plant.
For instance, Dreshers repair, al
ter, reblock and even make up hats
of all kinds. And Dreshers not only
clean rugs, but clean them so we'll
that an enormous growing rug clean
ing patronage has made necessary
the building and operating Of huge,
modernly equipped rug plant.
Added to this is the Dye Shop
wherein anything from a ribbon to
an Opera House curtain may be
iyed in a manner that enthuses even
he most critical color experts.
Then, too, Dreshers have all along
conducted the popular Dresher The
Tailor establishment at 1915 Far

made most of the fine tailored
clothes worn in Omaha for the past
ten years.
When it comes to the regulation
cleaning, dyeing and pressing work

Dreshers efforts are simply unriv-

here is the employment of regular

who do and direct whatever work
may rightly come in their respective
fields.
Get to know Dresher work: phone
