Justice Retires from Amer
ican Relief Board and
Hebrew Congress.

Boston, July 24.-Justice Brandeis'
Of the United States Supreme Court
TODAY rendered his resignation from
the executive committee Of the Ameri-
can Jewish Relief Organization and the
Jewish Congress. In explanation MS
secretary, Jacob de Mas, said that the
Justices judicial duties prevented MN
from giving the necessary time TO the
work of the committees.
Mr.. De Haas said that a report that
Justice Brandeis was considering re-
,irement from all Jewish activities was
incorrect and that he still retained IN
terest in various organizations.
The Justice started to-day for a va
cation Of ten days, leaving instructions
that he was not to be disturbed mean
while By telephone calls, according 70
his secretary.
Justice Brandeis, it is said, considers
that it would be unwise for him IN
future to expose himself and his high
oe6co to the sort of criticism with which
he met at the Hotel Astor recently. IL
was recalled that at that meeting one
n.rson called at Justice Brandeis, IN
6erisive tone, There are higher things
than the Supreme Court Of the United
States whereupon the justice iel' inc
meeting amid Kisses.
Friends of Justice Brandeis admitted
last night that the idea OF his retire
mont from Jewish activities was not
new TO them, but uniformly they re
fused 70 believe that he had actually
severed the many threads that bound
him to the larger social and religious
movements in Jewry.
ave have all heard something about

night. "but you can say for me that l
do not believe it,"
Former Judge Leon Sanders was
equally emphatic in refusing to give
anv credence to the report.
~ do not believe it," he said. Il
can see no reason why a man, because
he has been appointed to the Supreme
Court Of the United States, or to any
other bench, should withdraw from all
his former social activities and with
hold his support from great religious
and philsnthropic movements.
81 sey all this in spite Of .he fact
that certain New York newspapers
have editorially condemned Justice
Brnndeis's activities in the affairs Of
hi, people since becoming a United
States Supreme Court justice. and the
announcement Of his possible retire
ment comes from a newspaper"
Justice Brandeis has beeen one OF
the most enthusia stic workers for the
welfare of the Jews in this country.
He has been an active advocate of the
Zionist movement. He was a delegate
of the Jewish Congress Committee and
chairman Of the provisional committee
Of seventy appointed by the Jewish
Conference In Philadelphia last March.

Paris. July 24.-Two pilots Of the
American escadrille-Sergeant Kitten
Rockwell and Adjutant Bert Hall-fnd-
ing themselves trapped by FIVE German
machines over hostile territory last
Friday perpetrated a Yankee trick on
the enemy and slipped back to the
safety Of their own lines.
Rockwell and Hall during the after
noon spied an aviatik flying alone and
Immediately rose in their Nieuports,
eager for battle with this latest type
Of German seroplane. 1t was a new
model of an old aviatik, capable Of high
speed and carrying two men and two
machine guns.
Rockwell arrived near the enemy
first and, circling, riddled him with
machine gun fire. Although it did not
kill the pilot, it pierced the sviatik in
a vulnerable spot and forced the Ger
man to descend. Rockwell, watching
the machine fall, did not realize that
two Fokkers were behind him until the
wings of his Nieuport were riddled
with bullets.
Hall Immediately joined battle, but a
few minutes later third, then fourth
and a fifth Fokker closed in on the pair
Of Americans, who found the battle
growing too hot for them, with no
chance Of reinforcements and far from
the home lines.

CURED OF ANTHRAX
BY "BRANDING IRON"
Patient Who Thought He'd Die
Goes Back to Farm Work.

Riverhead, Long Island, July "a
Thanks to an old-fashioned cauterizing
iron and a stout constitution, Alex
ander Waupenski has recovered from
anthrax, the disease which proved fatal
last winter to George F. Stackpole. In
contrast TO Mr.. Stackpole, who kept up
a cheerful conversation with his family
and reporters to the day of his death,
Waupenski had small hope of recovery.
His physician, DR.. Allen G. Terrell, re-
membering that serum treatment had
failed with Mr.. Stackpole, borrowed the
cauterizing iron.
"The remedy was a harsh one, but
the exigencies Of the case warranted
it's use" said Dr. Terrell to-day. 81
cauterized the postules good and deep
three times and the patient responded
nicely to the treatment. To-day he is
completely cured"
Wsupenski, who went back to his
farm work to-day, declared that almost
ANYBODY would respond to the brand

HATS MAKE MEN BALD?
NO, SAYS GIRL STUDENT
Hairless Women Often Fool
Bachelors, She Asserts.

Washington, July 24.-Miss Dorothy
Osborn, of Ohio State University, has
made study Of baldheaded men-and
women-and makes her somewhat
cynical report in the August journal
Of Heredity.' Hats are TO more to
blame for bald heads than is the wool
of sheep responsible for horns, she
found. She reached the definite con-
clusion that badness cannot be
achieved; the bald are born and not
made.
In support Of her anti-hat theory
Miss Osborn asserts that badness in
women is more frequent than most
bachelors will believe, because women
can conceal their badness much more
easily than men"
Through heredity, however, man
stands twice the chance of being bald
than a woman does. A man. Miss
Osborn says, falls heir TO falling hair
if either of his parents had that
tendency, while woman becomes bald
only if both parents were.
This peculiar mode of inheritance"
she explains, "is called sex limited, the
quality being dominant in males and
recessive in females. 1t was found by
DR.. Thomas r. Arkell to hold good for
the horns of sheep"

RRANDEIS LEAVES N. Y. LAWYER SAW

Rushed Against Foes
Curtain of Fire.

Frederick H. Allen, retired lawyer
of New York and Paris, returned yes
terday on the French liner Lafayette,
and recounted his impressions Of a
four days visit to the British front.
He visited the sector between Thiepval
and Montauban, and, standing on hill
top a mile and a quarter distant,
viewed the recent capture Of Contal-
maison.
"The bombardment in preparation
for the infantry attack began at 2 a. m.
on the morning of the memorable July
"a day which will survive in history.
The English used every piece in their
possession, from hand grenades to
heavy field artillery, and kept up
continual firing throughout the night.
"It was an awe inspiring sight to
watch the venemous spit-fire of the
heavy calibre pieces momentarily
pierce the inky darkness, and then
gradually fade. At o'clock the firing
suddenly ceased, when through the
riffs of low hanging smoke the great
havoc wrought on the German positions
could be easily seen with field glasses.
Sees Prisoners Passed.
"A few moments later watched wave
after wave or khaki clad soldiers
swarm over the British first line
trenches and charge up the steep slope
leading to Contalmsison. The right and
left fanks pushed on, while the centre
was lost to view in a curtain of fire,
which the Germans threw behind the
charging lines, to prevent the massing
Of reinforcements. A few moments
later many figures were seen in flight.
"At first we thought the attack had
failed, and that the British were re-
treating, but soon we saw that they
were bands of German prisoners being
passed back through the lines"
"The battle continued until o'clock
in the afternoon, when the Germans
brought up heavy reinforcements and
drove the English out of the town, but
not as far as their former trenches.
That evening the bombardment was
resumed. and the entire town and its
outlying Notifications were captured by
the British the next day"

FRIEND LEAVES INCOME
TO ANGEL OF TOhBS"
w. 6. Wood Rewards Woman
Who PaWned Gems for Him.

The final accounting by James Nash
Webb. as executor of the estate of Will
lam G.. Wood, which he filed in the Sur
rogates' Court yesterday, reveals the
provisions made for Miss Mary NJ. Kel-
lard, formerly known as the "Tombs
Angel because of her missionary work
there.
Wood. whose father was the founder
Of the Wood Memorial Church, in The
Bronx, inherited an estate of S75O,OOO
from his uncle, George T. Laird. When
that fortune came to him he had al
ready dissipated one fortune of like
proportions which he inherited from
his father. II was while doing this
that he met Miss Kellard, upon whom
he lavished jewelry whose value she
estimated at $4,000. Then came a
time when Wood needed money imme-
diately. Unhesitatingly. the "Tombs
Angel" pawned the fine collection Of
gems Wood had given her. He promised
to reimburse her in his will.
Wood provided in his will that Miss
Kelard was to receive the income from
a $4,000 trust fund. But the account
ing filed in the Surrogates' Court shows
she also received outright from the
estate $4,000 as a compromise on a
note for $4,000 which Miss Kellard
had from Wood for services rendered"
Wood left his residuary estate to his
wife. Mrs. Virginia Wood, and his
daughter, Miss Mary f. Wood. After
his death Miss Wood learned she had
been adopted by Wood from an orphan
asylum. Several relatives of Wood at
tackled the will in court, but the in
strument was sustained, and Miss
Wood received her share Of the prop
erty.

MOVE TO TRAP

Enemy Ships Get Up

From . STAT Correspondent O, The Tribune

fFrom a STAFF Correspondent Of The Thbunel
Baltimore, July 24.-There was a
sudden breaking down of barricades on
the piers of the Deutschland this even
ing and the sharp, gray nose Of the
submarine was thrust out preparatory
for it's final dash for the Atlantic.
At late hour tonight the dash had
not yet been made, but an omlnous
movement among numerous boats up
and down the Patapsco River proved
that the perilous cruise of the U-boat
would be started under many hostile
eyes. Members of the Deutschland
crew made a mental inventory OF the
enemy boats that had penetrated thus
far into neutral waters to watch their
movements and repeated the conviction
voiced before that their dash would not
end in triumph, but in death.
The Deutschland submerged late this
afternoon to test the suomergihg
tanks and air pumps. The mechanism
was found in satisfactory order
Service for Submarine Crew.
Tonight a farewell religious SER
vice was conducted for the captain and
crew of the submarine aboard the liner
Neckar, by the Rev. Otto Apitz, immi-
Grant missionary at this port. Each
man of the crew received communion
and praysrs for a safe return voyage
were offered.
Later Captain Frederick Hinch, mas
ter Of the Neckar, and officials of the
Eastern Forwarding Company, were the
hosts of Captain Koenig and the crew
at a dinner, at which farewells were
exchanged.

From off the Virginia Capes. at least

tBy Cable 10 The Tribune. ]


London, July 24.-While the
German lines along the Dvina were
crumpling up before one of the
greatest and most furious attacks
of the war, the Kaiser and his chief
of staff were to-day rushing with all
speed toward the scene Of the latest
German disaster, oblivious for the
time being to all developments on
the western front.
London tonight recalls nothing
of more significance in the last year
of fighting than this sudden move.
The German war lord has at last
given notice that the great Russian
menace overshadows all else. To
many military critics he has given
fresh proof that Germany believes
the war will be decided in the East
rather than on the Somme. In his
hasty departure for the Russian bat
tie line London reads tacit acknowl-
edgement of the danger which is con-
fronting the Teutonic Allies at al
most every point along the wide
flung front from Riga to the Car
pathian wall.
Penetrates Twelve Miles.
Driving a wedge of steel through
the breach he made yesterday in the
enemy's lines south of Riga, General
Kuropatkin to-day swept Won Hin
denburg's forces back along front
of thirty miles, and to a depth, at
one point, of twelve miles. Not
since the great Russian offensive be-
gan have the Cars troops won such
a wide stretch of territory at one
stroke.
That reports Of this important ad-
vance have reached London only
through unofficial channels and are not
confirmed in any way by the Russian
official communicates is regarded here
as only natural. At the present stage
of the drive in the north, when the
German lines have not yet been vitally
crushed in and the real crisis of the
battle is still to come, the policy of the
Russian command, it Is pointed out,
would be to maintain strict silence.
The Car is not claiming any vic
tories until he is certain they will not
suddenly be turned into routs. IL is
not necessary to feed the Russian peo-
pie on imaginary successes when tan
gible successes are almost at hand
that is the manner in which army men
here explain the paucity Of official
statements from Petrograd on the new
drive.
Admiration for Russia Grows.
Despite the successes of the British
troops in France and the interest which
naturally attaches TO all their move
ments, the English people are now d.
viding their attention between the two
great fronts. Admiration for the Rus
sIans' success is growing daily, because
il is realized here that the Cars ar
mics are facing assaults along front
many times longer than the lines held
by the British and French soldiers, and
that. despite the multiplicity OF at
