FRENCH STILL GAIN
RUSSIAN CAVALRY THREATENS
TO OUT-FLANK AUSTRO- GER
MAN FORCES IN TARNOPOL

London, July 5.-The French troops
cooperating with the British in the
Somme region Strengthened their
lines by capturing Barleux, Belloy
Esanterre and Estrees. They are ad-
vancing on wider front toward their
objective, PERFUME.
At Estrees,. where 500 prisoners
were taken, fighting is still under way
and slight progress by the British is
being made on some points.
The Germans have not ceased theil
drive against Verdun. The Germans
have captured the Thiamount works
for the fourth time after a massed at
tack. Some of the fiercest fighting OF
the Verdun battle has been around
this point.
Russian cavalry patrols have cross
ed the Carpathian mountains and en-
tered Hungary, driving north from
Kelomea, Galicia. The Russians have
advanced 20 miles and threatened to
outf1ank General Won Brothmer's ar
my and the Austro- Germans in the
Tarnopol region. If this movement
succeeds Won Brothmer may have to
fall back to Lemberg. The Russians
report the capture of 5000 prisoners.

REAL JONAH WHALE
FISH CAUGHT OFF KNIGHTS
KEY is DECLARED TO HAVE
BEEN LARGEST KNOWN

Washington, D. c., July 5.-The sci
entists of the Smithsonian institute
have decided that the great fish cap
tured off Knights Key, Fla, is a
whale-shark, and is supposed to be
the largest fish ever caught. The
monster weighed 30,000,O0O pounds
aside from the 1500-pound porpoise
which it had just swallowed. The
whale-shark is As feet long and the
creatures mouth is more than yard
wide. The whale-shark has several
thousand very tiny teeth in its mouth;
also a tongue some forty inches long.
The fish's tail is ten feet from tip to
tip, and his scaleless hide is three
inches thick.

BATHING SUITS? GOOD NIGHT!
THEY'LL BE MINUS NIX IN 1917

Philadelphia, Pa, July 5.-ln days
of old there were occasional fiutter-
ments down at Atlantic City, along
the Boardwalk, and at Long Branch
and Asbury park as well, not to men
ton Coney, when some woman who
thought we'll of her fgure-and didn't
care who knew it-would stroll out
upon the beach in something she call
ed bathing suit.
But if the advance predictions are
to be believed, the police in 1917 will
either have to wear binders or the
dear old English bathing machine
must be imported. For bathing suit
manufacturers and designers openly
threaten that their most conservative
models for 1917 will be more daring
than the most daring of 1916.
What is to blame? Why-the war
of course. The war has caused the
price both of materials and dyes to
go soaring, and bathing suit manutac-
turers have been faced with the al
tentative of raising prices or saving
on material. They decided to save on
material.

COUNTY BOARD MET
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
OF PINELLAS is DISCUSSED
BY BOARD OF TRADE

Clearwater, Fla, July 5.-"Back
country development" in general and
farm demonstration work in particu-
lar was the principal topic at meet
ing of the Pinellas county board of
trade which was sandwiched in among
the Fourth of July festivities.
Chairman Dixie M. Hollins of the
agricultural committee reported that
the committee was considering two
methods of promoting more and bet.
ter farming in Pinellas. One was the
establishment of government dem
onstrating agent, and the other was
the extension OF the COUNT higf
school work to include agricultural
work. Prof. McQuarrie, in charge OF
the demonstration work in Florida for
Uncle Sam, was present and aided the
board with information and sugges-
ton.
The cost of an agent would be $500
year, of which the government
would jay 5000, and as the county
commissioners had decided to include
two-tenths mill tax this year for ag-
ricultlral purposes, which will yield
about $500, the proposition could be
financed if it shall finally be approved.
The no-fence bill prepared tanta-
lively by the legislative committee,
was before the meeting, but the attor-
neys to whom it had been submitted
reporting legal flaws in it, nothing
was done about it.
The regulating of heavy traffic so
as to preserve the brick roads led up
to legal obstacles, there being no law
under which the county commission
ers can make such regulations, and
the legislative committee was instruc-
ted to get relief from the legislature

FIREWORKS VS.. WATERWORKS
FOURTH IS QUIET IN TARPON

Waterworks were more in evidence
than fireworks in this section yester-
day, but the American eagle scream
ed just as loudly and independence
day was celebrated just as Justify as
though the regular brand of Florida
weather were on tap instead of the
Fourth of July up North.
Tarpon Springs itself was rather
quiet, many of its people journeying
to sister cities to join them in their
celebrations. Excursions took quite
a number of Venetians to Tampa and
st. Petersburg, while Clearwater was
host to a large number, especially
fans who accompanied the Tarpon
ball team to the county seat, where
they defeated Clearwater by 1 to 0
in a holly contested game.
AS a host Clearwater certainly did
Itself proud. Great quantities of friend
fish, buttered bread, pickles and hot
coffee were served free to what evil
IDENTIFY was a larger crowd of diners
than had been expected, but neverthe-
less few went hungry. The city was
gay with bunting and flags and a
splendid spirit of neighborliness was
one of the notable features of the day.
Music and Games
Concerts by the Pythian band, water
sports and ball games were among
the chief of the days attractions. W.

MOTHER OF BILLY SUNDAY
is FOUND DEAD IN HER BED

Warsaw, Ind, July 5.-Mrs. Mary
Jane Stowell, rs, mother of Chilly"
Sunday, was found dead in bed at the
Sunday home at Winona lake. Death
was due to heart trouble and came UNI
exepctedly.
On Saturday she was in good health
and when she retired at night she
made no complaint. When she re-
manned in bed longer that usual Sum
day morning, Sunday went to her
room. He thought she was asleep
and did not realize that she was dead
until he touched her face.
Mrs. Stowell, who was born at Sy-
racuse, Ind, had made her home with
Rev. Sunday for many years. The
noted evangelist was deeply devoted
to his aged mother. The body was
taken to Ames, Ia, for burial on the
old homestead, where Sunday was
born. Burial was on Wednesdayhc

TARP-CLEARWATER
BASEBALL BATTLE
WON BY LONE RUN
HOT GAME BEFORE BIG CROWD
ENDS IN LOCAL WARRIORS
BRINGING HOME SCALPS
Twas SOME game.
One to nawthin in our favor.


On their home grounds and with
a majority of the rooters in their ia
vor, the Clearwater ball busters were
unable to get run across the plate,
while the Tarpon had to contend with
unfamiliar diamond, streak of bad
luck in putting hits in felders' mitts,
and with the crowd to buck when. it
came to roofing. The game was close
enough to be exciting, yet replete
with errors and bad plays, due in part
to the wet field. The attendance was
full 800 and possibly greater. The
best of feeling existed, but rivalry
was keen and the Tarpon contingent
kept up a running fire of roofing that
frequently got the opposition on edge.
The only run in the game was made
in the first inning. Klosterman was
hit in the ankle by McMullen and
went to first, stole second and got to
third on w. Causes hit. McMullen's
bad throw to the plate enabled Klos-
terman to amble across the plate with
room to spare.
Both pitchers worked well, Elliot
Bigelow tanning fourteen and allow
ing but one hit. McMullen struck out
six, allowed six hits and was strong
in the pinches.
In tug of war following the game
the Clearwater nine won.
There were no spectacular plays
and fielding was below par, while sew
eral attempts at base stealing were
doomed before the runner started.
The Clearwater nine put up the
best fight Tarpon has encountered
this season and a series of games
would undoubtedly arouse much in
terest. Both teams accepted decisions
without arguments and the game
went ahead with speed, the rain pre-
venting the last two innings.
The strong Tampa team will play
here tomorrow against the Tarps and
a sizzling contest is expected. The
game will be called at p. m.

won second place in the mems race
of 200 yards. He also captured the
creased pig.
After the sports on the city pier,
the crowd moved to the picnic grounds
where Prof. McQuarrie gave a talk
on agricultural development, after
which dinner was served. The ball
game began at 3 o'clock, and after
supper there was more music and
fireworks.
Fun at st. Petersburg
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather large number of celebrators
promenaded the st. Petersburg pier
last night, throwing confetti and
streamers and confetti and otherwise
having jolly time. Horns, squealers
and other noise makers chimed in
with the angry tapping waves of the
bay below.
Considering the handicap of a sea
dashing high, converting the south
mole, from which the fireworks were
set off, into a seething, smashing, sub
merged peninsula, this end of the per-
Torrance was carried out in good
shape. Water was about knee deep,
and into this waded Arthur L. John
son, chairman of the entertainment
committee; Frank A. Edge and Dick
Hume and cut loose with their pyro-
technic exhibition for the benefit of
the expectant crowd of onlookers
ranged on the pier.

CARRANzA'S REPLY
To WILSON'S NOTE
RELAXES TENSION
UNOFFICIAL DISCLOSURES as
TO TEXT INDICATE THAT FIRST
CHIEF SEEKS MEDIATION

Washington, July 5.-Carranza's re-
ply to the two sharp notes from the
United States was officially received
today. The oral synopsis made pub
lie indicated that it was of an unex-
pected conciliatory character. The
communication arrived early yester-
day and the fact that it was holiday
prevented its immediate delivery.
Since the release of the American
troops captured at Carrizal the issue
between the two nations narrowed to
Wilson's desire for a formal declar-
alton of intentions toward the Ameri-
can expedition.
The embassy's synopsis indicates
that specific statement on this Is
still acking. However, the Mexican
embassy's statement that the note is
conciliatory in character, has al
ready had the effect of relaxing the
diplomatic tension between the two
nations.
The note, believed to have been die
tated by Carranza himself, renews as
surances that adequate forces of the
de facto government are engaged in
suppressing brigandage in northern
Mexico and protecting the interns
tional line; admits that a serious s.
uation exists; but again suggests
the presence of American troops
gravates rather than helps m
and paves the way for resumI
discussions in regard to a Dor
lection protocol, the subjec

governments.

with which we have nothing to do, a

No independent nation on this side

European powers and they had no
voice in their fate, for they were au-
tOmatically at war when their mother

Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, out OF
the European war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out of war
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Mexi-
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war In his term we have seized
N.exican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Next
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
in our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
time No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought Of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept us out of war with
Mexico. He put an embargo on arms
so that American weapons would not
be sent across the boundary, and he
refused to interfere in Mexican affairs.
When he left office Mexicans liked
Americans and Americans were safe
in Mexico. Since he left office Next
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep us out of war with Next
co? Not if words mean anything.
Mr.. Wilson did not keep us out OF

us out of war with Mexico
