Teutons and the Turks Unite and Clear the Mountains of the
 Enemy.
BATTLES DEADL0CKED
Allies Gain Slightly on the Somme Front and Gen.
 Rothmer Holds His
 Own at Lemberg.

Berlin, Aug. 1S.-The war office announces that the Russians have been driven from the Carpathians by Teutons and Turks who united.
 LONDON, Aug. 1s.-on four of the battlefronts opposing armies are today locked in a life and death grip or arc marking time waiting for achievements or for the enemy to make the first move.
 On the Somme front General Haig advises that over a battlefront that has grown from IS to 22 miles the French and British are hammering with artillery and infantry attracks upon the Germans. The latter are resisting every move of the Allies For three days the terrific warfare has continued, day and night with unceasing vigor. At Pozieres new fighting center has broken out. The Germans at the end of one defense de. isively beat the allies and forced them back but the latter have made gains from 100 to 200 yards since the last report.
 General Rothmer has concentrat- ed all of his available forces to the defense of Lemberg. It is under stood, in adviccs from Berlin, that tke Kaiser and General von Hinden- hurg are in a conference on the front somewhere.
 The verdun attacks of tEc Ger mans have not ceased there being dtsultory fighting, n,o,tly at nights. For two weeks on,v small engage ments have been in progress along the banks of the Mouse.
 The announcement that the Ger mans were to assume the defenses of Trieste has caused unbounded speculations. Advices today from Milan confirm previous dispatches that the Germans were swinging sev- eral hundred thousand troops to- wards the Italian battlefront.
 The departure of the Austrian bat tlefleet from the Gulf of Trieste is still unaccounted for. Unofficial sd- vices state that the fleet went south to the Mediterranean to intercept twenty Russian transports reported loaded with soldiers bound for Mar seilles for the support of the Allies on the verdun front and also along the SOmme. This is believed to be, however, a ruse and attacks on the Adriatic side of Italy are looked for.
 A dispatch from Athens this af- ternoon states that no successor has been appointed to the minister of war of the Greek cabinet following the resignation of Genf callaris.

SERI LIZ, Aug. l8' - Mrs. Col llngson died this forenoon. Tho slayer Frank von Dehyda, ls stll at large.
 Seattle. Aug. 18.-J. A. (Jack) Collingson a well known business man of Vancouver. was shot and killed last night. and Mrs. Ceiling son, formerly known as Henrietta Eastman was believed fatally wound ed. The deed was done by Frank yon Dehyda a Belgian.
 Before Mrs. Colllngson, or East man, was taken to the hospital where she sank into unconsciousncss she showed letters to the police which stated that von Dehyda was infatuated with her and had prom ised to kill her unless she would marry him,
 Slayer Escapes
 The case is hard for the police to unravel on account of the slayer es caping so soon after committing the deed, one of the principals being dead and the other dying.
 As far as can be learned from To- cal people and those from Vancouy CT now in the city, Henrietta East man had lived with von Dehyda in Belgium for ten years but came to America shortly before the war broke out. He followed her across the continent and together they pur' chased a rooming house in Van ceuver.
 Eventually Collingson showed up on the scene and according to those who claim to know the two were married about a year ago.
 Run Out of Vancouver
 Von Dehyda was run out of Van couver shortly after the start of the war because of his German sympa thies and came here. He kept writ ing to Mrs. Collingson but she told him she was married and her whole life had been changed.
 Last Sunday he wired the woman in the case that he was sick and wanted to talk business with her She came to Seattle and Collingson fearing that something would hap pen, followed on the next boat. She finally brought the two men togeth CT and believed everything was ami cably settled between the two.
 Shooting on Street
 Last night CoIingson and tho wo man were out walking. Without any warning von Dehyda met the couple on the street and fired two shots the first dropped Collingson, dead and the second sent Mrs. Ceiling ston reeling to the pavement. By islanders claim that two other shots were fired but if Won Dehyda triet to commit suicide 1t is not mowr whether he was successful as h' disappeared down an alley.
 The slayer had been a patient al the Providence hospital for severa weeks, being under treatment fol nervousness. In the safe at tho Rector hotel, is $9,OOO in cash whicl was left by von Dehyda before he went 10 the hospital.

With his wife driving, he left Albany in a Ford car on November 2S, reach ing Birmingham on Tuesday February 15, where he is the guest of his broth er-in-law, pr.

The entire route was through 12 states. and he said he bought gasoline at prices ranging from 15 to 30 cents gallon. At first his purpose was to keep account of his entire expenses. but the amount be- came alarming and he thought to enjoy the trip he had best loose sight of the cost
 His wife drove the car all the way, and the condition of the roads varied, though the best highways were through New York. New Jersey and those of North Carolina were fair and the worst were in vir- ginia, where he was detained four days on account of the mud, frozen over dur ing the cold The roads were cut up by

 fair, with much work needed. What we
 would ordinarily call good roads, an automobile man. and from the east, would probably condemn, because at our best we do not compare with northern highways. This was Mr. Saulspaugh's first visit south, and while he found our roads kind of rough, he could not say enough of the cleverness of the folks all the way along, and even for pulling him out of the mud they refused pay
 The association he represents is forming Ford clubs all over the coun- try and ne is trying to federate all such bodies. While he is working his interests he is seeing much of q new country, also people in all walks of life As to con ditions along the way, he says there is very general cheerful feeling over financial conditions, and the farm homes are well kept, and they are diversifying their crops and stock, He was somewhat surprised at the size of Birmingham, and will remain few days longer to meet his Ford friends. Thence by way of Montgomery and Jacksonville, Fla, he will take leisurely drive home over an entirely different route.

HUNDREDS UNABLE
 ID GET INTO LYRIC
Dr. EdmOnds in Sermon Likens Religion to the
 Chivalric Age


 Hundreds were unable to find seats at the service of the Independent Pres byterian church in the Lyric theatre last night and were turned away. Po- lice and firemen were on hand and saw to it that the law was observed and that none stood or sat in the aisles. Every seat was occupied and addition al chairs were placed in the boxes, while many sat in chairs on the stage.
 The Rev Dr. H. M Edmonds took his text from Mark l2:Sl: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.'
 He lfkened religion to the chivalric age and declared: "Fortunate the man or woman who can interpret the relig- ious life in terms of chivalry and cour- age.
 We ministers have failed in not presenting the living of the religious life as the receipt and execution of marching orders from the Great Com mander, who commands that we go out and conquer the whole world i'll His name.
 Holy living is the most sparkling adventure ever tried
 If you want real mans size job I call you to the eompanionship Of Christ"
 He went on to present the comparl- son of knghthood and religious life.
 If there is man here tonight who wears good clothes and who owes some widow for his board he is no knight, the speaker declared in tones of scorn. "Oh, you men, particularly of the church, pay your debts. The reason some of our churches are poor, starved things is that some of us men in them are poor craven things
 Young man, l call you to the chiv- alric life of God Not only does your country, your state and your city de- mand the best life you can liye-and your mother, your wife and your ba- bies as well. But what about God? Go to God and say; Here is the flower of my life, the best that l have; I give 1t to You 7"
 The singing of the g1ee club of the colored high school was keenly en- ioyed by the great audience and re- quests for special songs were made by the hearers.
 A feature was the presense of some 25 young women of the Louie Comp ton seminary, who attended in body
