Fear British Prisoners of
Turks May All Be Dead

London, Aug. Z. - Apprehension
exists as to the fate of the British
prisoners taken at the time of the sur
render of Kut-el-Amara to the Turks.
Lord Robert Cecil said in the House
OF Commons to-day that repeated in
uiries had been made through the
American embassy at Constantinople
to ascertain the whereabouts of these
prisoners, but that no reply had been
received from the Porte. This, he
said, inspired considerable misgivings
as the prisoners were compelled, after
the fall of Kut-el-Amara to cross the
desert at the worst season of the year.

number up over 500."
The New Mexico Senator said that
the most astounding thing in Senator
Lewis speech was his statement that
at one time the Wilson administration
was prepared to recognize Villa.
You denounce the Republicans for
preventing Wilson from recognizing
villa, whom You and your President
at the time knew to be a murderer, a
her, thief, an assassin for hire and
the most vicious character in Mexico. "
Replying to the statement of Lewis
that the Republicans should not have
precipitated the trouble with Mexico
by opening fire on Wilson's Mexican
policy, Senator Fall said that the Sen
ator belonged to class who believe that
the campaign cry should not be, "I
am for America and America only"
but rather, II am for Woodrow Wilson
ana MIN only! In their opinion, he
said, amy person who was against
Wilson was a traitor to his country. -

Germany Adopts Heroic
Measures to Fill Ranks

Amsterdam, Aug. 1T is clear from
Information reaching Holland that tho
last two months have been spent by the
German military staff in Berlin in re-
adjusting home military arrangements
in order to release every single avail
able hghting man. Every garrison has
been practically cleared of every train
ed man, leaving a minimum of in
efficients with experienced officers for
any normal and possibly abnormal du-
ties that may arise in towns through
out Germany.
This latest, and probably last, mus
tering of men obtained a very con
siderable addition to the lighting
forces. The men thus collected have
been sent to certain centers within
easy reach of the east or west fronts.
Cologne .~ecently had to provide room
for 10000 men, Germany's man pow
er may, therefore, be regarded as now
at absolute maximum on all fronts.

Six Villages Are Taken
as Russians Claim They
Have 5000 More Prisoners

London, Aug. 7.-Following up their
sharp blow of Saturday and Friday
against the Austrian lines south of
Brody, along the Rivers Graberki and
sereth, the Russians have swept in six
more villages, an entire ridge of COM
manding heights. and 5000 more prison
ers. In the two days battle which has
given General Sakharoff's troops sue
cesses vitality important to their drive
against Lembcrg and Won Bothmer's
flank along the Strypa. more than $500
OF he enemy's soldiers have been made
prisoners.
That the Russian claims of marked
progress in this region are not un-
founded is proved by the German Off
cial admission last night that possess
sion of the west bank of the Sereth
has been wrested from the Teuton
torces. Berlin also records advanced
actions before the army Of Won Both
mer.
Austrisns In Desperate Position
Although the check which the Cars
FORCES in Galicia received last week re-
lieved somewhat the threat which their
northern advance had brought against
Won Bothmer, the successes which have
crowned the latest Russian efforts south
or Brody have again put the Austrian
lines on the west bank of the Strypa
in dangerous position. If Sakharoff's S
army shows further signs of sweeping
advance to the southwest where 1t will
be aiming at the life lines of the Aus
trian troops, it is not believed that Won
Bothmer will hesitate any longer about
retreating in swift order to his prepar-
ed lines behind the Bug and Gnila Pipa,
there to make his last stand in defense
of Lemberg.
On the Stakhod line the influence of
Won Hindenburg is already being felt
in the stiffening of the Austro- German
lines and in the growing fury of their
counter attacks.
In the Carpathians the recognized
army of Pfanzer is continuing its har-
assing of the Russian left wing south
of kuly, but it is more of defensive
than an offensive movement and can
have no effect upon the Russian opera
tions along the Dniester.
