RUSSIAN COMEBACK
PROVES WONDER
OF THE WORLD
Six Great Armies are Fighting on the
Western Front and Using a Tre-
mendous Supply of Ammu
milton
nition.

London. July 13.-The recovery OF the
Russian armies since their defeats last
year and the apparently inexhaustible
supply of guns sandammunition with which
they are provided, continues to be the
source of wonder to military writers.
AT least six great armies are engaged
against the Austrians and Germans on
the Russian western front and all are
using great quantities OF ammunition.
The forces under Grand Duke Nicholas
in Armenia and Persia have been fight
ing vigorously against the Turks for
months. A few weeks ago parts OF these
forces, particularly west of Erzerum,
were compelled to fall back in the face
of a stronger Turkish army. Early
this week the grand duke resumed the
offensive in this region and re-captured
Mamakha Tum, 80 miles from Erzer
um.
Meanwhile the armies directly south
of the Pinsk marshes are fighting a
pitched battle with Autsro- German
forces under General Won Linsengen
along the Stokhod river. 1t probably

reached as the Teutons have brought up
strong reinforcements in the hope of
saving Kovel. North of the Pinsk
marshes the fighting at present is large
ly with artillery.
In the west renewed efforts of the
German crown prince at Verdun are tenn
porarily taking precedence over the bat |
tie of the Somme, but the British are
still engaged in clearing the Germans
from fortified positions which must be
taken before a general offensive can be
renewed.
Fighting desperately in the face of de-
termined German attacks, the forces un-
der General Haig succeeded Wednesday |
in gaining control of the entire Mametz |
wood which had been entered the previ
Gus night by the Germans. In the same
region north of the Somme, the British
made some progress in the Trones wood
and repulsed two heavy attacks against
Contalmaisen. The Germans are report
ed to have lost heavily in their attacks
on Trones wood

er of the Irish Nationslists, yesterday
issued statement chsrscterizing the
speech of the marquis of Lansdowne in
the House of Lords on Tuesday as a dec

He says also that the speech was a
breach of faith, apparently made with
the intention of wreeking the negotis-
tions for a compromise.
Il regard Lord Lansdowne's speech a.
a gross insult to Ireland" said Mr. Red
mond in his statement.
1T amounts to a declaration Of war
on the Irish people and IS an announce

eminent toward Ireland, there Is an end

BOYS ARE HOPING TO
CROSS RIO GRANDE
They Had Experience with cloudburst
That Was a Real water cure"-Many
Tents Were Flooded and FL Paso
Streets Were Foot Deep in Water.
Camp General Shafter,

fh-f fAH1f AfAst HAAa o
At 5;lS this morning we witnessed one
of the worst experiences Of this eneamp-
ment in the form Of a great eloudburst.
At the above-named time the rain came
down and al $500 there was six inches Of
water on the campgrounds. Fields ad-
joining the encampment were flooded TO
the extent Of anywhere from ten inches
TO foot. Small rivilets were immedi-
ately transformed into raging torrents.
Vermont, Kansas, Maryland and the
regulars were Hooded from their quar-
ters. Many regiments suffered a severe
loss in the form OF equipment. Many
Co. II boys were flooded from their tents,
especially those in the sergeant's tent.
At $3.50 the torrent abated and many of
the boys OF the Vermont regiment went
out in search OF two children who were
reported lost in the desert during the
storm. At time OF writing the search
had proved futile
The railway running through the res
eryation was washed out in places, max
ing service impossible. Streets in Eagle
Pass were flooded 10 the extent OF one
foot and many stores were flooded six
inches in depth. Services in these stores
will be suspended for an indefinite pc.
riod owing TO the fact that the soil is a
mixture of sand and clay that makes il |
impossible for human beings or animals
to proceed through same.
At present writing all are in good |
spirits and all are hoping in the near fu-
ture TO have the opportunity TO cross the
Rio Grande.
This is all for the present but hope to
advance more later.

tenant Alexander died about nineteen
years ago. and Flipper is not now in
the service. Major Charles Young. to
whom the second annual Spingarn
medal was awarded In Boston on tie
evening OF Feb. %. Is a former first
lieutenant OF the Ninth United States
cavalry.
1t has required an extraordinary de-
gree Of courage for colOred men to face
and live through the four years Of petty
prosecutions and race hatred in the
government military school. The col
ored man who is fortunate enough to
get the appointment and smart enough
| to pass the eXamina tons and sterling
enough in the qualities Of manliness to
complete the course and graduate de-
| serves the very highest commenda ton.
| Major Young is about forty-seven
| years of age. His father was n gallant
soldier in the Federal army during the
rebellion. He moved over into Brown
county, o.. for the purpose Of giving
his son the best possible education.
After graduating from the Ripley high
| school at the age of sixteen years
Charles applied himself diligently to
the study OF Greek and Latin prepara-
tory to entering Jesuit college In
Cincinnati. His ambition then was to
become priest
His diligent study after he left
school and while teaching was fitting
him for an opportunity that he little
| dreamed of, After two years of such
preparation he entered Il competitive
| examination for n cadetship from the
Twelfth Ohio congressional district
and won the appointment over twenty
seven competitors.
After graduating lie served five years
with the fighting Ninth United States
cavalry. Three years OF the time he
acted rs post adjutant and post quar-
termaster, in addition to his duties as
second lieutenant. In 1894 President
Cleveland assigned him to duty ut VIII
berforce university, Ohio. as professor
of military tactics and science. His
work at this school was OF the highest
character.
The reports that have been sent to
Washington by the inspection officers
show that the students Of Wilberforcc
under Major Young's training are
among the best drilled found in any
of the colleges. The white students
of Antioch college have been glad to
avail themselves of Mr.. Young's mas
