Washington, July 14.-Up to late
hour tonight all efforts of the navy
wireless to ascertain whether there
had been loss of life in the sinking
of the naval collier off Charleston
had been unavailing. A series of calls
for help from the collier, stopping
abruptly at p. IN. gave rise to grave
fears for the safety of those aboard.

that the collier was in serious

Bombardment Of German PO-

on the Russian front the great bat
tie of the Stokhod is stlll raging with
the issue remaining in the balance.
The most important news from ths
Russian side Is In regard To the oper-
ations in the Caucasus. The Grand
Duke Nicholas reports continuous and
substantial successes against the Turks
and apparently is launching another
great offensive in the region of Ere
rum, and Raiburt aimed at the very
heart Of the Turkish empire. \ sue
cossful Russian advance along this
line would cut off the Turkish armies
i'm the south ana again place Bagdad
in jeopardy.
British Straishtcn Line.
After the bricfest preliminary bonn
bardment which has preceded any
important action on the west 'front.'
the British armies on the Somme
again have swept forward and have
captured several important German
second positions. on front of four
miles the British have advanced to a
depth of a mile and have held all po-
sitions gained in spite Of violent coun-
ter-attacks.
The strategic Importance of the
British successes Is marked by the
strengthening Of their line In con-
formity with that of the French, who
had hitherto advanced AT a much
greater speed than their allies. The
hrevity Of the preliminary lombard
ment, coupled with the statements Of
press correspondents at the front that
the British losses were comparatively
small, lend support to unofficial state
ments that the German second line
was much less strongly fortified than
their first defenses.
Intense Artillery Fire.
ON the French portion of the SOM
me front no action of Importance was
recorded hut in the French official
statement for Friday it was announc-
ed that the bombardment of German
positions on the Belgian front had
reached a point Of the greatest in
tensity. This announcement receives
additional significance as for more
than week the Bclgians have re-
ported persistent and destructive
hombardmcut directed against the
German fortifioations. These an
nouncemcnts were similar to those
made by the British preceding the
opening of their great offensive ANA
may possibly Indicate that another big
forward movement by the entente al
lies may be attempted at the extreme
western end of the battle line.
Another point Of significance i'm the
days official war reports is that the
only actions reported on the Nerdun
front were assaults made by the
French. These assaults were noted IN
the German official statement which
made no claims Of any German Of
fensiNe action.

some of these reforms already are in

their Incorporation into the funda-

Presidential Election Soon.
As to the holding of presidential
election, General Carranza said that
it would take place as soon as the
work of reconstructing the consutu-

the country was completely at peace.
The de faCtO government, the first
chief asserted, will pass a law of ann
nesy so that all MeXicans who have
left the country for one reason or
another may return il they desire.
Such a law, however, he said, would
not be promulgated as long as the
government was not on time basis
because among some of the MeNieanS
now living abroad there are those who
would return to Mexico TO conduct
agtations and disturb labor condi-

BOYS ARE HURT WHEN
AUTO HIT THEIR SLED
One Wheel Of Machine Passed
Over Goth Bodies

Two boys, Morris Damp, eight years
old. and Nicholas Stemper, Jr., nine,
were badly hurt by an automobile,
while coasting on North Second
street, across Vine, ABOUT five O'Clock
Saturday afternoon. The streets were
thickly coated with ice, and the two
BOYS were sliding on the hill on North
Second. Just north of Vine. The au-
tomobile was coming up vine street
from Front, on the south side of Vine.
Just how it occurred that the auto
struck the sled is uncertain. and no.
body has been able to understand the
matter fully 1t is probable that at
least one Of the wheels passed over
the two little boys. Morris Damp was
kneeling on the back part of the sled,
and Nicholas Stemper was lying on
the sled, face down, and steering.
UqIy Cash on Right Side.
The Damp boy received an ugly
cash on the right side of his head, and
his right arm was broken in two
places above the elbow. He was UNI
conscious when picked up, and late
yesterday afternoon he was still de-
lirious at times. The Stemper boy
was found to have double fracture
OF the right thigh bone.
All that the Stemper boy could say
about the auto was that it was a
Ford. It was also reported that the
side curtains of the auto were drawn
up, so that nobody could see who was
inside The auto was. not stopped,
but went right on to Third street and
then turned north On that street, pass
ing a street car. This car arrived on
the scene a little later and both boys
, were picked up and taken to the Of
fee of DR.. A. I. Kemp. ,r.
The Stemper, boy is son of Mich
olas Stemper, S13 North Second
street, who works for Fowler &c Pay.
The Damp boy lives with his step
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Aar-
en- Morris, 412 Cross street, North
Mankato. The mother and son went
over to the home CT Mrs. Joe Dillon
the mothers sister, S21 North Second
street, to visit that afternoon.
Both boys were taken to their
homes after their injuries were
dressed.
