INVADERS FIND
DESOLATE LAND
Russians in Retreat Are Burning Bridges, Destroy
ing Highways and Laying Waste the Countryside
with Fire and Dynamite Russian Situation Is
Very Critical

LONDON, July %. = While prayers
for victory were being said today
throughout Russia the Austrians and
Germans continued their drive at War
saw from the north, west and south.
Meanwhile they were reaching fur
ther north towards Riga on the Bal
tic from which their advance guard is
distant not more than 20 miles.
The tone Of the despatch from Pet
rograd bespeaks plainly that the coun-
try is aware of the gravity of the mil
itary situation involving not only the
fate Of the Polish capital but the in
tegrity Of the Russian army in Poland,
the northern and southern sections of
which might be cut in two by decisive
defeat along the Lublin railway.
1t is along this sector that the
Russians are now fighting most desper-
ately, for this railway is the sole
great artery of communication of Po-
land with southern Russia. Having
several times been reported within five
miles of the railroad and now, accord
ing to Austrian claims, having pierced
the Russian 'front.' this section OF the
Teutonic forces should be within rifle
shot Of the railroad, but no claim has
been made of its seizure.
Northwest of Lublin, however, the
Teutonic forces have pushed forward
uouth of Ivangorod and thence north
ward around the circle, which is
tightening on Warsaw, and they have
made steady progress, although meeting
with heavy opposition along the Narew
river.
Elsewhere, generally speaking, the
Russians are falling back, employing
the tactics with which they hara3sed
Napoleon in 1912; that is they are not
only burning all bridges and destroying
roads, but are laying waste the eoun.

moving such provisions as they can

AMERICAN NOTE
SENT TO BERLIN
May Be Made Public Tomorrow or Saturday-It is
Believed in Washington That Another Disaster
Such as Befe the Lusitania Would Mean I'm
mediate Assembling of Congress

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The new
American note to Germany is on its
way to Berlin. 1t cleared from Wash
lngton over the telegraph wires dur
ing the night and today was being
flashed over the cables to London and
theIee to Copenhagen where it goes
overland to the German foreign office.
1t should reach its destination tonight
or early tomorrow.
The note probably viii be made
public by mutual agreement with the
Berlin foreign office tomorrow or Sat
urday.
Concerning the future conduct of
German submarines the note does not
necessarily call for an answer as it
ANNOUNCES the intention of the United
States to regard any further violation
of international law resulting in the
loss of American lives as an unfriend
ly act.
On the other hand the American de-
mand for disavowal of any intentions
to sink the Lusitania and the request
for reparation are renewed in the new
note and very likely those with other
points, such as the willingness of the
United States to act as an interme-
diary between the belligerents to ad-
just rules of maritime warfare, prob
| ably will be the basis for further dis
cussion by Germany.
An answer is not expected for at
least two or three weeks on these
phases. 1t is generally agreed here,
however, that any loss of American
lives in the meantime would itself
| raise the question of action irrespec-
tive of any formal reply from Ger
many.
The American note is in the nature
of final statement of the principles
involved in which the United States
takes the position that the accepted
rules of international law must gov
ern the rights of neutrals irrespective
OF retaliatory measures and the bellig-
erents against one another.
What action will be taken by the
United States in the event of further
violation is not disclosed in the new
note, nor was it officially commented
on otherwise here today, but a gener-
al understanding prevails, that another
: disaster such as befelI the Lusitania
would mean the immediate assembling
of Congress-
President Wilson has given careful
| consideration to eventualities to which
the new note may commit the United
States and he believes it places
squarely upon Germany the response
! bility for any act that may cause
, rupture.
There is now no indication that the
/ Lusitania case itself will cause "a rup-
{ ture, but the President has determined
to keep that in the forefront of diplo
matte relations.
Pressure for settlement will be re
( newed from time to time and if not
:. adjusted by the end of the European
war it will continue to impend in the
relations between the United States
+ and Germany very much as did the
d Alabama case in the relations between
Y Great Britain and the United State:
1 after the Civil war.

JERSEY CITY, July %. = Gov.
Fielder at his office here was called to
the telephone by Sheriff Kincaid af-
ter the attack upon the Tide Water
plant and as a result of tho communi-
cation Gov Fielder announced that
he had ordered Adjutant General Sad
Ter to proceed at once to Bayonne and
survey the situation and report what
troops if any were needed there.
The visit of the adjutant general, it
was explained, usually follows call
by a sheriff for troops so it is
thought that the representation by the
sheriff to the governor amounted tc
the next thing to formal call fol
armed aid.

The appearance Of pimples, boils, skin

calls for s. s. s.. the famous blood purifier.
Cathartics, purges, bowel movers and lax
atives won't do.
No amount Of bile will destroy certain
germs which cause blood and skin erup-
tons. They are away down deep In the
tissues, perhaps in the very marrow of the
bones. And such a condition calls for the
searching influence Of S. s. s. 1t IL indeed
a rema rkable remedy, since 1t is taken up
by the blood stream and never loses Its
medical influence. On and on 1t goes,
through and through the entire system and
always with the same definite action to dis
lodge germs, destroy their activity and
stimulate the liver, lungs, kidneys, bowels
and skin to throw them out completely.
1t stimulates stagnant blood, provides a
rational exhilaration to the nerve centers
and thereby the natural functions Of the
body are aroused to cast out intruders, no
matter how strongly intrenched they may
be. 1t refutes the ancient theory that to
