SHIFT OF DRIVES PREVENTS
TRANSFER OF TROOPS

LONDON, July 22.-The entente
allied offensive, which swings between
the western and eastern fronts with
almost ciocklike regularity and in a
manner almost completely to prevent
the central powers from making any
considerable transfers OF troops from
front to front. now is centered on the
Russian front The forces under Cen
eral Sakharoff have taken the offensive
enerGetically. and their victory in the
salient formed by the junction OF the
Lipa and Styr Rivers southwest OF
Lutsk to-day appears to be much moro
important than either tho official
claims from Petrograd or the Austro-
German admissions of yesterday indi-
Gated.
General Sakharoff has the enemy re-
treating in disorderiy fight before his
forces Having forced the passages OF
the Styr and Lipa. the Russian troops
already are beyond Berestechls. having
in two days fighting taken prisoner
from the Austro- German forces 500
officers and 1000 men. In addition.
the Russians have captured Il quantity
OF war booty. The number of Austro-
German prisoners captured in the op-
erations on the eastern front since
July Is now totals 26.000.
by his success I'm driving the Austro-
German armies from the Styr-Lipa
salient, General Sakharoff has estab-
lished his forces firmly on the right
bank OF the Lipa up to about twenty
kilometers tabout thirteen miles) above
its confluence with the Styr.
Meanwhile General Kuropatkin Is
still pressing forward against the
forces of Field Marshal Won Hinder-

ARRIVAL OF BREMEN
HiIFORE MONDAY PREDICTED

NORFOLK. VA. July o2.-From the
same source that two weeks ago to-
night predicted the arrival Of the
giant merchant submersible Deutsch-
land within n. few hours to-day came
the declaration that her sister ship. the
Bremen. will pass the capes before
Monday.
While not supported by any official
authority, the declaration aroused the
greatest interest here because Of the
informant's correct forecast of the
coming OF the Deutschland. The news
quickly spread along the coast. and
tonight many vessels are working to-
ward Cane Henry 10 he present in case

should the Bremen arrive. she is eN-
pected to obtain a Maryland pilot and
proceed at once to Baltimore. The
picking up of Virginia pilot by the
Deutschland was not according to plans
made before her arrival. and delayed
her docking at Baltimore somewhat.
German sources here say this will not
happen with the Bremen.
Despite announcement from Balti-
more that the Deutschland did not Sc
cure clearance papers at the custom
house there to-day, reports here were
that the submersiblc had cleared for
Germany. and these caused credence TO
be given to the report that the Bremen
may arrive soon. Marine men here

been withheld at Baltimore in the in

There is a constantly growing belief
here that the Bremen will pass into the

JOBBERS HAVE PLAN
TO FOOL RAILROADS
Open Branch Houses in Ne
braska Towns to Over
come Freight Rates.
KEEPS COMPETITION EVEN

Omaha jobbers are rapidly prepar-
ing plans to establish branch houses
or warehouses in Lincoln, Grand Is
land, Norfolk, and possibly Fremont,
in order to compete with some of the
other wholesale centers under the new
freight rates, which become effective
in Nebraska October Is.
The conference of Nebraska rail-
road men, held IN Chicago, resulted
unfavorably to the jobbers of Omaha.
They had hoped the roads might de-
eide to establish rates that would be
alike for competing cities.
Instead of that, the railroad men
are back from Chicago with the word
that the big bosses at headquarters
told them the flat distance scale of
rates must be put in. This is under
the order of the Interstate Commerce
commission issued a few weeks ago,
raising the Nebraska rates from the
scale that has obtained for two years,
to a higher level.
Under the flat distance scale, Lin
coin jobbers have a distinct advan-
tage over Omaha in shipments on the
Burlington west of Lincoln. Sioux
City has an advantage over Omaha in
competing for business in northern
and northwestern Nebraska. Fremont
has an advantage in competing for
business west on the Union Pacific
1t is these advantages which have
prompted the Omaha jobbers to de-
eide hastily to institute branch houses
at points of vantage. Omaha houses
handling hardware, implements, gro
ceries and several other commodities,
will establish these branches.
Route Through Omaha.
Then they can route part of their
stock right through Omaha to these
warehouses out in the state. This
will give them the first advantage OF
the through rate and also of the ship
ments in carload lots. Then they will
be in position to ship out from these

Representatives of automobile and
taxicab companies said that they
would undoubtedly make trips to Chi
cago and Kansas City when the strike
becomes effective if they could get
loads of passengers and at a price
sufficient to make it worth the trip.
The trip to Chicago can be made
from Omaha by auto in two days. 1t
