In the midst of the war the science
of wireless telegraphy is making gi-
gantic strides. William Marconi, the
first man to devise practical system,
announces he has now invented new
method of telegraphing without wires
which will revolutionize the industry.
The nature of this is kept secret, be-
cause it will be used for the benefit
only of the armed forces of the Allies
until the end of the war.

AUSTRIA WOULD
FEED POLES As
ASKED BY WILSON

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S.-In
formal assurances just given Amer
lean Ambassador Penfield at Vienna,
the Austria Hungarian government is
disposed to respond favorably to the
personal appeal of President Wilson
for permission to ship American relief
supplies into Poland, for the allevia-
tion of suffering among Polish people.
Foreign Minister Burian, representing
the Vienna government, formally as
sured Ambassador Pentield this morn
ing that his government would look
favorably upon the appeal, and if de-
tails can be arranged, the early ship
men of food supplies and other
necessities will be authorized by the
Austrian government.
At the state department this after
noon it was announced a communica-
ton had been received from Ambassa-
dor Page, at London, saying the Brit
ish government is willing to permit the
sending of supplies into Poland for use
of non-combatant civilians only, if
satisfactory assurances are given that
such supplies will not be seized by
the Teutons, and that food products
raised in occupied territory within Pol
and would not be diverted to the use q
Teutonic troops. This presents a
formidable obstacle to the shipment of
supplies, and it is feared in official
quarters may block further negotia-
tions upon the subject.

OELV|LLE WOOD.
OCCUPIED TODAY.
BY HA|G'S ARMY.

The British have captured all of Del
vile wood on the Somme front, after
driving out famous Brandenbcrg
regiment defending it, says today's first
British official statement. Gen. Haig's
army, the statement adds, continues its
offensive and is driving the Germans at
ether points along the western battle
iont.
Russian troops in France while re-
connoitering at Auberive in the Cham
paiene region today, penetrated Ger
nan trencehs there, clearing them with
hand grenades and taking prisoners,
says the French war office statement.
French infantry troops stopped Ger
man attack north of Chaulnes, near Ii,
hons, during last night, and German
preparations to attack on the right
bank of the Meuse in the Verdun region
were stopped by French artillery fire.
Two German aeroplanes were shot
down in the somme region, says the
Paris war office.
The Russians continued their ad-
vance in the region of the Slonevka
and Baldarovk rivers in southern Vol
hynia today and also in the Caucus
according to Petrograd reports.
A Paris newspaper dispatch records
the breaking of long lull in activity
in the Balkans. This dispatch, dated
Salonika, says the re-organized Serb
ian army has begun an offensive move
ment against the Bulgarians in Greece
and have taken some unimportant
heights already.
Rome advices report Italian gains
along the whole front, with the re-
pulse of Austrian counter attacks.
Berlin dispatches claim that British
attacks on the Somme front today
were repulsed

Capt. Fryatt Executed by Germans.

BERLIN, July 28.-( (WireIess) Capt
Charles Fryatt, of the British mer-
chant steamer Brussels, captured by
German destroyers last month and
taken to Zeebrugge, Belgium, has been
executed by shooting after a trial be-
fore a German naval courtmartial.
Capt Fryatt was tried and convicted
of attempting to ram a German SUB
marine during a previous voyage, the
commander of the submarine having
reported the occurrence to the ad-
miralty before Capt. Fryatt's capture
by German destroyers.
Capt Fryatt was tried at Bruggees,
Belgium yesterday, the testimony be-
ing tog the effect that Fryatt an
March 2Sth, 1915, attempted to ram
the German submarine U-93, instead OF
stopping as signalled. The submarine
escaped by diving. Capt. Fryatt, at
that time was first officer, and First
Engineer B. Russells. later received
gold watches from the British admiral
ty, and mention was made in the Brit
ish house of commons of their ex-
ploit, it being believed they had sunk
the submarine, which did not again
come upon the surface until Fryatt's
vessel had disappeared.
