The contract is for two years. The
only announcement made by the off,

last night as q bonus His demands at
that time were said to be $4,000 a
year and $4,000 of the price paid to

Whether the Cleveland club will pay
it all or whether part Of it will come

Russian Ironproof
Against German Steel
in Forty-Two Attacks
By .iSsociafe5 Press

Petrograd, via London. July IA
dispatch TO the Russky Slovo from
southwestern headquarters says:
When news OF the rolling up of the
Austrian fourth army and the forcing
CT the defenses OF LutSky was received
in Berlin the emperor ordered the
immediate dispatch thither of the best
available forces of the strategical re-
serves in France, the imperial CORPS
including the Twentieth Brunswick.
the so-called steel division concern
ing whose prowess numerous legends
have arisen in Germany.
The corps reached Vladimir Volyn-
ski and was hurled next day against
General keledine's army. The col
hsion occurred az kiselin. half way be-
tween Vladimir, Volynski and Lutsk.
The onslaught of the German steel
division was mot by a Russian division
which in the earlier stages of the war
won the name of the iron division.
Advancing to the attack, the Germans
lred tens of thousands of shells in an
uninterrupted cannonade for four
days and nights; then charge followed
charge and one after another broke.
Russian iron was proof against Ger
man steel
During a short lull on the evening
Of the second Gay the Germans dis
played signboards above their trenches
hearing the inscription Your Russian
iron is no worse than the German
steel, but all the same we shall smash
YOU.
German Corps Loses Heavily
The Russians retorted: Come on
and try"
The Brunswicks resumed their
charges throughout the day and night,
but next morning the Russians sud
denly delivered a smashing counter
attack at an unexpected point and
cverthrew two battalions. capturing a
number of cannon and machine guns.
After the forty-second attack the
remnants of the steel division were
withdrawn and are now at Vladimir
Nolynski awaiting reorganization. The
corps in four days fighting lost three
quarters of its officers and half its
men. The Russian losses also were
heavy"

German Catholics Protest
Against Hyphenated Cry

South Bethlehem, Pa, July H. -
At to-day's session of the twenty
third annual convention of the Ger
man Catholic Societies of Pennsyl-
venia, strong resolutions were adopted.
The resolutions declare that descend
ants of their forefathers nave JOY
fully sacrificed their hearts blood on
battlehelds of the United States, side
b. side with their Irish brethren; that
In the latest Mexican danger their
descendants contributed the largest
per centage of men to the army of
defense, thereby proving to the world
that for Americans of German descent
the cry of America first" is really a
matter of the heart and conscience
and not a shield behind which con-
veniently to conceal the avarice for the
almighty dollar and the greed of poll
tical honor: that as American citizens
we protest against those newspapers,
professors and politicians who do not
raise their voice for justice and un-
equivocal neutrality but VINO under the
cloak of hypocritical humanity seek to
draw America into war on the side
OF our English cousins
A strong protest is also made against
the hyphenated cry" The resolu-
tions are entitled Citizenship and
Country"
