LATTER UNCHECKED,
Germans Capture Halicz and Force
Dniester at Every Point-Russian
Losses Are Heavy.

Petro@ad, June 29--Officers of thu
Russian general staff state that they
have satisfactorily achieved the re.
grouping Of their forces necessitatet
by the German Galician campaign
and that they stand ready effectively
to oppose further advance of the
Austro- German forces in Galicia, o.
in Southern Russia. The Gnila Lipa
River, to which the Russian forces
have retired, flows south from above
Rohatyn, branching from the Dnies-
ter River near Halicz, and with steep
banks and bluffs provides admirable
facilities for defense.
Further eastward the Zlota Lipa
another tributary of the Dniester and
paralleling the Gnila Lipa at dis
.tance of Is miles, would, in the opin'
ion of Russian critics, offer even q
stronger obstacle to German ad-
vance, since besides having natural
advantages it is supported with a
good railroad line.
The most important point of the
present front is that portion of me
Vistula just north of the River Sail.
Here the Germans in considerable
numbers are attempting to force the
river and by so doing flank the Rus
sian positions along the Tanew, which
as vet have shown no signs of yield
ing to the frontal attacks. The wood
ed approach to the river at this point
allows the Germans successfully tc
mask their operations and to con-
ceal their batteries but the record
of the fighting up to Saturday shows
that no real advantage has yet beer
gained by the Germans.
The Importance Of this move Is
well recognized by the Russians
since if successful it would unite The
German forces on the left side OF
the Vistula with those operating, O:
the other side, in ablin province
against the Tanew front.
German activity appears to be linn,
tied at present to the Dniester anf
Vistula Rivers. In the region of Lem
bergsno serious fight is reported,

MONROE DOCTRINE NOT LAW
Famous Instrument Only A Declar.
alton Of Foreign Policy

The declarations Of the Monroe Dol
trine is an executive declaration OF
ton of an act or resolution of ever
our own Congress, and therefore form
no part of the municipal law of the
United States; nor do they have any
of that authority which European
states attach to a royal ordinance
Indeed Congress has never been will
ing to commit the nation to any
compact or pledge upon the subject.
This is apparent from the fact that
our national assembly declined to
enter into or send official delegates
to the congress at Panama in 1926,
when some of the Spanish-Americaa
states met to consider means of CAR
rying the doctrine into effect. So, it
is readily to be presumed that the
Monroe Doctrine is not an interna-
tional law in any conceivable sense.
The doctrine has for its objects the
maintenance of peace on the West
ern Continent and the preservation
of the integrity of the American
States. In this respect it bears a
relation to the American States, re-
sembling in some respects that borne
by the principle of the balance OF
power to the states of Europe, and
has the same claim to consideration
from the point of view of interna.
tional law.
If. not an international law, then
what is it's status? The Monroe Doc
trine is an Executive declaration CT
the course that the United States
would follow in international affairs;
it is the avowal of an existing Ad-
ministration of what its own foreign
policy would be and what it thinks
should ever be the policy of the coun-
try on a subject of paramount and
permanent interest, the relations ci
the United States with the powers
of Europe as touching the South
American republics.

BULGARIA is PREPARED
Better Able to Enter War Than
When Balkan Conflict Broke.

The Bulgarian army is now far
better prepared for war than it WAS
for the Balkan war Of 1912. 1t com:
prises four divisions of 10000 men
ready for action, with another ter
divisions of 100000 men Of first line
reserves, who could be mohlized in
few days. If necessity should arise,
this force could be more than doubled.
Bulgaria's entry into the war as
the foe of Turkey would relieve pres
sure on the Allies to the south.
Adrianople, which the Bulgarians
were forced to hand back to the
Turks after the last Balkan strug-
gle, has been 1enuded of it's arms for,
use in the Dardanelles campaign.
This ought easily to fall to the Bui-::
garians, who could then cross down
to Rodosto on the Sea of Marmora,.
This would cut Constantinople oH
from Keshan, where the Turks hav"
concentrated their forces for the on-
erations on the Gallipoli peninsula
At least, the Turks would be reduced
to communications by sea.
Bulgaria no longer demands Salon
Xxi. Her claims are small compared
with those of the other Balkan ma
tions, being confined to the really
Bulgarian portion of Macedonia with
Kavalla and its natural outlets on
the Aegean sea.

In the course of the exam mination
of r. C. Swink, member of the first

number of papers, some of which
we're '"dope" sheets and others sheets
of actual examinations given in the

to show the similarity in appearance
of these papers and to support the
contention that midshipman might
not recognize an examination sheet,
as compared to some other sheet
circulated in advance of an examlna-
ton.
Like other witnesses who preced-

see sheet containing questions OF ar

but added there was large amount
of "dope" in general circulation
much of which appeared in the ex'

CHANCE FOR A BIG FEE
Bondholders Desire to Avoid Heavy
Expenses and Want Court to APP
point a Receiver.

washington, June 29-NeW lltlga
ton, which will have the effect o
postponing the final settlement OF
the old Virginia and West Virginia
debt controversy, is now threateneG
in the Supreme Court of the United
States, which two weeks ago rendered
judgement of $l3,000,00G against
the younger Commonwealth.
The trILble now is over who shall
collect {. disburse the Sl3,000,00O
judgmen The State of Virginia, il
whose name the suit was prosecuted
believes it. should take charge of this
task; but has developed that the
holders of the old Virginia debt GER
tifcates, the real benefciaries of the
Courts recent decision, do not want
! the Virginia Debt Commission to
handle these funds, desiring insteali
that the Court name a receive: who
shall act under the Courts jurSdic-
tion and direction.
As result of this development, ii
was stated, the State Of Virginia and
the holders of the debt certificates
will clash over the spoils wher the
Supreme Court convenes next fall.
The firm of Brown Bros. & CO.. New
York bankers and brokers, holds and
represents the holders of the bulk Of
the Virginia debt certificates, the oa!..
standing amount of which Is said to
be in the neighborhood of Sl5,006,00D
1t is declared that this firm financed
the fight which was made in Vrginia's
name for recovery of the CLAIM
against West Virginia, and that there
fore the certificate holders leel theit'
friends should be named the receiver
to collect and disburse the money.
According to statements made in
Washington, Virginia will ask the
Court next fall to name or authorize
the Virginia Del. CopWissionerE%2to
collect and dsburse the $l3,009,O00.
This commission is composed nt 4
half dozen prominent Virginians.
If:5 per cent. commission is allowed
the fee will amount to S650,000. The
debt certificate holders are anxious
that the collection and disbursement
of the S13 100000 be attended with as
little expenses as possible, and, ac-
cording to statements in Washington
they wish to avoid the payment OF
any huge fees to a commission.
Major Holmes Conrad, Solicitor
General of the United States under
President Cleveland, in behalf of the
certificate holders, has already taken
action looking to the naming OF a
receiver, having filed this motion
with the Court shortly before it ad'
iourned. His idea, from what can be
learned in Washington, is that one or
two men be authorized to handle the
s13.O 900 and that these men be
held strictly accountable to the SUI
preme Court and be under the juris-
diction Of the court.
By this procedure, it is asserted,
the money can be easily collected, il
West Virginia does not fight pay
ment, pnd disbursed without much
delay and expense.

our merchants moved away to places
where they were appreciated and mel
of less energy moved in. Grad
ually our town has gone down; our
business houses are 'tacky' in rp-
pearance, a number are empty; our
schools, churches, and walks are
going down, we have no band, no
no library nor ball team. There is
no business done in the town, and
therefore no taxes to keep things
up. Hotel Is closed for lack Of

Mine years ago my farm was

said that wants to buy. He wants
a place near schools and churches

GRAND JURY URGES
DAIRYINC PROTECTION

The Whatcom County grand jury
adjourned Thursday, after being in
session twenty days. The final re-
port makes recommendations in re-
gard to jails visited in the county,
the court house, and the County
Farm.l No agreement was reach
ed on an indictment in the Frank 1.
Sefrit case.
The grand Jury's report was con-
cluded with the following comment
relating to the enforcement of laws
affecting the dairy industry:
1.-The dairy industry Of the county
has attained such magnitude that it
should be fully protected and the
laws relating to the selling of cows
affected by contagious diseases
should be stringently enforced, and
to this end we gave some time and
investigation and returned an i'll
dictment which we hope will result
in a discontinuance of the practice.
In the matter of the cement trust
since some of the offending parties
and companies, if an offence has
been committed, and much desir-
able information pertaining thereto
is not available to this grand jury.
we are of the opinion that the in
vestigation can be best made by a
Federal grand jury and respect
fullv recommend that such action
be taken"

Adversity's Only Sure Bet.

Don't place too much dependence in
human nature-not because men In
general are untrustworthy. which
do not mean to imply, but because
they are human. Promises are often
born of momentary enthusiasm and
made with the best intentions of ulti
mate fulfillment. But things happen,
conditions change, ardor coOls; the
sentiment of liberality is superseded
by one of selfish interest, and pledges
made in the best of faith are forgot.
ten.
Everything human is frail and mu-
table. The nature of man may
change with each new environment,
but the coin of the realm has fixed
and dependable value. You may fail
to cash in on promises, but you can
always collect 100 cents on a dollar
bill.
That's the reason 1 say to you that
it's all right to have faith in men. but
put your implicit trust in cash. It's
the only sure bet in the moment Of ad
versity.-Maurice Switzer In Leslie's.

this FARMER LOST
$500 IN nine YEARS

Hans Garbus, German farmer
or Iowa. has discovered that the
benefits which appear on the sur
face sas attaching to the mail order
plan sometimes spell disaster and
has written a very interesting
story Of his views in a certain farm
paper. Here is part OF his story:
I'VE farmers need awakening to
the fact that We have unmistak-
ably reached the period where we
must think and plan. I am one of
the slow German farmers that had
to be shown, and / am now CIV
ing my experience that others may
profit, for knowlege il now more
expensive than ten years ago.
Twenty nine years ago I began
my farm career. l had an old team
and $4,000. Our furniture was
mostly homemade chairs, cupboard
and lounge made from dry goods
boxes, neatly covered with ten cent
cretonne by my girl wife. We rent
ed eighty acres. Being boy of
good habits, got all needed mach
inery and groceries of our home
merchants on credit, until fall crops
were sold. The first year was
wet season and l did not make
enough to pay creditors. went
to each on date of promise and ex-
planned conditions, paying az much
as possible. and they all carried
the balance over another year. They
continued to accommodate me until
l was able to buy forty acre piece
of my own.
GAS soon as I owned these few
acres the mail order houses began
sending me catalogues and gradual
ly l began sending my loose change
to them, letting my accounts stand
in my home town where had gotten
my accommodation when I had need
ed it.
eve then had one of the thrift
lest little villages in the state
good lines of business In all the
branches, merchants who were will
ing to help an honest fellow over
bad year, and a town full of peo-
pie who came twice a week to trade
and visit. Our little country town
supported library. high school, ball
team, and we had big celebrations
every year.
"a farm near a live town soon
doubles in value. I sold my forty
acres at big advance and bought
an eighty, gradually adding to 1t
until l had 200 acres of the best
land in Iowa. I then felt no need
of asking favors. and found 1t easy
to patronize the mail order agents
that came almost weekly to our
door. regret to say that / wes
the first in the county to make up
a neighborhood bill and send 1t
to a mail order house. Though we
got bit every once in a while, we
got in the habit of sending away for
stuff.
Gradually our merchants lessen
ed their stock Of gOOds-for lack OF
patronage. Finally We began to
realize that when we needed a bolt
quickly for machinery. or clothing
for sickness or death, we had to
wait and send away for 1t. which
wasn't so pleasant. One. by one

orioIn Of the Argentine Flag.

Mr.. Fraser, in telling Of the origin of
the Argentine flag, says: 1.-THE EN-.
phatic patriotism Of the American Is
tepld alongside the hot blooded nation
atty Of Argentina. 1t is daily inculcat'
ed in the schools: the blue and white
striped flag is honored on every occa'
sion. When the Argentines were in rev.
olution against Spain in 1910 and need
ed a banner to faunt against the red
and orange Of the enemy they got pieces
of blue and white cloth intended for
garments from an English warship
lying ut Montevideo and made a flag of
It. So the Argentine flag. like much of
Argentine prosperity, is due to Great
Britain" Mr.. Fraser holds that, In pro-
portion to the population, there are as
many millionaires in Argentina as In
the United Observation-Disclosures Ga
