BRITISH LINES WITHSTAND
HEAVY GERMAN ASSAULT
London.-The British front is
withstanding Germany's most pow
erfuI attacks. Artillery hammeTing
and massed attack with hand-tO-
hand fighting has so far failed to
dent the lines advanced by the re-
cent British offensive.
1t is belief of military experts heer
that the kaiser is now utilizing the
great reserves concentrated in front
of the British line from VerdUn and
other points on the western battle
front in bitter endeavOr to wrest
back from the BritOns the land they
have captured in the last few days.
BerIin.-The enemy succeeded in
penetrating lines in region Of Try
stOn, causing Germans to give up ad-
vanced position held beyond Stock
bod river.
Petrograd.-Gen. Brusiloff has re-
Sumed his offensive and thrown Dack
Teutonic line on whole KOvel front
from Rovioch railway to BrOdy. Cap
ture of Brody was again announced.
Rome, July 29.-ltaIian liner Re
Italia, bound from Genoa to New
York, beat off enemy submarine and
continued on her voyage.
Petrograd.-Kovel is rapidly being
enveloped from south as Russian
armies advance against AustTians in
Galicia. Capture of Brody gives the
cars forces opportunity to improve
their thrust nOrthwestwaTd toward
KOvel. Meanwhile it was believed
here today cars troops are forcing
onward toward Lemberg.

A DANGEROUS FEATURE.

Reason and good common horse
sense ought to be the guide of the
voter in the election Tuesday on the
state questions. The socialist election
law changes the whole system OF
holding elections in the state. The
legislature has been trying TO meet
the demands of the people TO get a
good election law and IL has been
changed several times as 1t Is. Now
another change is being sought this
time the dangerous feature consists
in putting the full text Of the law
in the constitutions so It cannot be
changed to meet the demands of the
people.
No man possesses enough wisdom
to write law so 1t will be perfect.
Even the federal banking law pass
ed by congress which saved this
country from financial panic has
some features that must be changed
and only by experience can these
changes that are needed be pointed
out.
The socialists seek to put the full
text OF the law in the constitution so
that II any change is desired 1t will
cost the people 100000 to make the
change.
The election laws as they stand
guard the vote, insure an honest
election, insure an honest count and
what could be desired more than this.
Some people object to the registra-
tion law but no honest man ought
to object TO It.. That law keeps the
floaters from voting. II keeps men
