SLAVS LOSE MANY TOWNS
IN THE GERMAN ADVANCE
Great Teutonic Offensive Smashes on
Toward Warsaw-City viii
Surely Fall Soon.

Vienna, July Radon, capitol
Of the province of Radon, which lies
ifty-seven miles south Of Warsaw,
was captured today by the Teutonic
allies, according TO an official com
munication issued here last night.
London, July 21.--The seemingly ir-
irresistible march of the Austro-Germa
man armies is winning for them town
after town in Russian Poland and in
other territory through which street
ches the 1,000-mile battle front in
the East.
Two pivotal points in their drive in
Poland have been turned by the Teu-
tonic allies. Ostrolenka, strong
hold on the Nafew River, seventy
miles northeast Of Warsaw, and Ra-
dom, fifty-seven miles to the south Of
that town and thirty miles from Ivan
gorad, another Of the great fortress
which girdle the Polish capital, have
fallen. according to Berlin and Vienna.
How close the advance guard of the
Austro-Germans have pressed toward
Warsaw is indicated by the official
statement Of the Russian war Office,
which says that the guns of the fort
ress Of Nova Georgievsk, nineteen
miles northwest of the capital, have
shelled the heads Of the on-coming
columns.

LATEST NOTE PUT It
TO GERMANY STRAIGHT
Cabinet Unanimously Approve Friend
ly but Pointed Communication
on Submarine Warfare.

Washington, D. c., July 21.-The
latest note of the United States to
Germany on submarine war is brief
reiteration Of the American principles
but is mild and friendly. It has been
unanimously approved by the cabinet
and gives Berlin no opportunity to
evade the direct issue regarding our
rights.
II affords the Kaiser chance to
accede without stulifying himself.
It is by no means an ultimatum and
viii tax the ingenuity Of the German
diplomats IL they attempt to escape
the direct issue.
The substance will be about as fol-
lows;
The Government Of the United
States regrets the failure Of Ger
many to put into practice the prin-
eiples Of international law, which
would safeguard Americans aboard
peaceful merchant vessels Of bellig-
erent nationality.
The United States is reluctant to
believe, however, that Germany will
permit any repetition Of injuries to
Americans legitimately travelling on
unarTned, unresisting merchant ships.
The United States insists that the
sinking of the Lusitania was unjus-
titled by the law of nations and hn-
manitorian considerations and that
reparation for the loss of the lives of
115 American passengers is due from
Germany.
In view of treaty guarantees Ger
many cannot expect the United
States to accept any limitation of the
conditions on which immunity shall
be accorded American ships and
American passengers.

The city council in special session,
Monday night, decided that the prop

it was decided that the light commit
tee, composed of c. A.. Witherspoon,

sentative of the Power Co., and see if
the proposition of furnishing 200
lights for a yearly fee of $3,354.5O
could not be reduced to $4,000.
The Mexico Power Co.. on July IL
submitted two propositions for the

favored by the city representatives.
1t provides for the installing, on a ten
year contract, 191 lamps of 60-candle

WAS FRANK ASSAULT
HATCHED OUTSIDER
Mystery Surrounds Attack on the
Life of Leo Frank, in Georgia
Prison Saturday.

Milledgeville, Ca, July 19.--The
attempted murder of Leo Frank, Sat
urday by William Green, lifer in the
Georgia Prison here, is thought by
many to have been planned outside Of
the institution However Green de-
cIares he did it of his own volition.
Franks condition is some better today
though he is by no means out Of dam
ger.
Frank was quartered at night in
dormitory with about 100 other prison
ers and occupied bunk about 40 feet
from one of the two doors to the large
room. Green's bunk was fourth from
his. No prisoner is allowed to leave
his place without permission from one
Of the two guards stationed at the
dormitory at night. Shortly after II
o'clock last night Green called out for
permission to get up and it was
granted.
He started down the line Of hunks
toward the one occupied by Frank.
AS he reached it he quickly grabbed
Frank by the hair and delivered one
blow with the knife he had concealed.

Apropos Of blockades the Unitet

among nations. A blockade of it

There are not ships enough in the
world to achieve it. Between Bangor
in Maine and Corpus Christi in Texas
there are forty parts connected by raj
with the vast network of iron raj
which extends over all parts of oul
country.
There are forty ports where cottor
and wheat and cattle and canned anG

it could prevent the shad and salmon
from swimming up our rivers tt

In the event of war we would be i'm
mune from invasion except from Can
ada. Invasion of any great nation
or at least continued armed occupa-
tion of the soil of any great nation
which is separated by an ocean from
its adversary, is practically an i'm
possibility. There might be some
places where foes could land, but there
would be no place where they could
re-embark, for those who came would
stay-a foreign flag would never float

"The hour has struck twelve the
world around on the use of alcohol as
