has come. at least temporarily, to an end. The correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press has just returned from a visit to the foremost trenches near the eastern end of the sector which has withstood the Russian attack.
 The scene was d peaceful one, only an occasional cannon or rifle shot breaking the silence, although the cor respondent stood near a hill, the sum- init of which had been fIattened a few hours previously by the Russian drum fire.
 The attack in the sector was carried out, as also was an attack farther east ward toward Uskull, by five divisions
 It appears that the attack was de- signed chiefly as q diversion in con-
 nection with the heavy offensive on
 both sides of the main road running
 from KeSkau southward to Bausea
 German officers scout suggestions that
 the whole offensive was merely a re- lief movement designed to cOunteract the pressure on the Russian lines far ther south. They say that the nature
 of the offensive showed that beyond a doubt il was a serious effort to l break the German lines at this point. Along q line some four or five miles long, where the fighting was hottest. the Russians after 50 hours of fire, launched an offensive with the Third. l Twelfth, Thirteenth and Sixteenth
 divisions-all elite troops-and the One-hundred and twenty first infantry divisions. The result of the five days
 of desperate efforts was the capture ] by the Russians of a lone German l listening post, which was to have been ! transformed eventually into an ad- i Vanced permanent position. Russian tprisOners repeatedly reported that there i were only five or six survivors in their | companies.
 German officers naturally make al- 1 lowances for eXaggeration in such cases | but all the officers with whom the i correspondent talked declared the en- | emy losses had been very great The | German losses also naturally were not l inconsiderable, but were declared to 1 be light in comparison with those of { the Russians.
 Whether the Russians will renew their effort in this section cannot be
 predicted but a new offensive would

PAINTS DARK PICTURE OF
 PRISON CAMPS IN GERMANY

Dr. Taylor cites as an example, one loft, ten metres by thirteen wide, with the ceiling ten feet high in the cen- ter and four and a half feet high at the sides, where GA men live.
 The light from the litle winodw, " says Dr. Taylor, lis so faint that the prisoners eyes will be seriously in jured if their sight is not perma- nently lost. And this semi darkness will undoubtedly cause Impressions and mental trouble.'
 The report complains of inadequate heating of prisoners quarters and the lack of facilities for drying the clothes of the men who often have to answer the roll call in the heavy rains out side.
 Many things, like soap, which are usually given prisoners, even in jailS, Dr. Taylor says, are not given the prisoners at Ruhleben.
 The report of Dr. Taylor says that the writer is certain the camp officials are aware of what can be done to bet ter the conditions of the prisoners, but they have not the authority to make the needed improvements.

MORALES, AriZ., July 24.-The re turn of the Southern Pacific of Mexi- co to it's own officials, which had been set for today, failed to take place ow- ing to the failure of the Mexican au- thorities to meet the demands of the company fur tho return of the prop erty in fuil. The Southern Pacific of Mexico, comprising some 2,000 miles of line in tlle MeXica nstates of So- nora, Sinaloa, Topic and Jalisco, was recently taken over by the de facto government against the protest of the company.
 General Cai'as arrived here tonight, however and said he would confer to- morrow with General Superintendent Temple of the railway company.
 AS soon as the differences with the Southern Pacific of Mexico are set tied E regard to the transfer, General Gales will leave for the south with 120C troops to conduct the campaign against the Naqui Indians.

Communion For Subsea Crew

BALTIMORE, July 24-Communion service was held tonight aboard the
 nterned North German Lloyd Steamer Neckar, lying alongside the submarine Deutschland. for the captain and crew of the submarine. Rev. Otto Apitz. German immigrant missionary, con ducted the service In his prayer he asked that the vessel and her crew may have a safe voyage home.
 The service was followed by a ban auet The Neckar was brilliantly lighted.
 It was learned that the Deutschland was partially submerged at her slip at G 30 this evening" The water is not deep enough for full submergence. A series of events this afternoon at the pier where the merchant subma- rine Deutschland is berthed, indicated that her departure would not be long | delayed. The most significant or these were the filling of her water tanks 1 and the slowing below her deck ot the 1 crews bedding as it was 'remoVed
 from the interned North German Lloyd
 steamer Neckar nearby. Since their 1 arrival two weeks ago, the Deutsch- | lands crew have been sleeping aboard 1 the Neckar. Shortly after the water tanks hao | been filled. heavy blue l,moke was
 seen coming from behind the barges that screened the Deutschland rom view. and virtually at her stern. Ihe wind blowing from the direction Of the submarine carried the odor of fuel oil and it was evident that the vessels
 engines were being tested.

CONSCIENCE FUND
 LARGER LAST YEAR
 THAN EVER BEFORE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON. July 24.-Contribu- tious to the treasurys conscience fund" for the fiscal year ending June 30, amounted to S54,924.15, making a total of S49S,763.54 returned by per sons whose consciences were uneasy over frauds against the government. Figures compiled at the treasury department today show the returns were much larger during the past year than ever before, chiefly be- cause of the unusual contributions, one for $30,000 and one for $10.000
 It was in 1911 when the first $5 came with a letter, saying the writer had taken that amount from the government. The money was turned into the treasury and although there actually never has been a separate conscience fund.- records of all such contributions have been kept. It is an GnWrltten law of the department that no effort shall be made to learn the identity of conscience stricken contributors, and even in cases where the writer has confessed to theft rom the government, the money has been accepted and no effort made to prosecute From 1911 until 1927 there Were no receipts. Since then, except Tor lS4S not a year has passed with out amounts large or small coming

not come as a surprise as the stra- tegic value of the breaking of the Ger man front alont the Kekkau Toad is plainly understood fully by the enemy. Such a breach, if one could be made, would compel the abandonment of the present German line for a considerable distance both south and west of Riga. Prisoners taken reported that General Kuropatkin came to this front for the express purpose of conducting the of
 fensive just ended This is taken as an indication of the importance at
 tached to the operations here by the enemy.
 Every officer seen by the Associated Press correspondent expressed the
 most absolute confidence that the Ger
 man front here is impenetrable The German front still follows the left bank | of the DVina river from a point about a mile north of Bersemuende to as |, far south as powerful field glass can
 carry from the highest observation point in the whole region, with the exception of a small sector between i RaggaZen and Duenhof where the front 1 keeps to a straight line to the Uskull

LONDON, July PA dark picture of the treatment of British prisoners at the Runpeben camp in Germany, where civilians are interned, is given in a report by Dr. AlonZO F.. Taylor, attache of the American embassy at Berlin. The report reached Viscount Grey the British foreign secretary. from James w. Gerard, American am bassador to Germany, through Walter Hines Page, the ambassador to Great Britain.
 The barracks at Ruhleben," says Dr. Taylor, "are overcroWded. The imperial authorities, after two years of war, have certainly had time to provide for the accommodation of prisoners It is intolerabe that peo- pie of education should be herded six together in a horses stall and in some lofts. The hunks touch another; the light for reading is bad. and reading is necessity if these prisoners are to be detained during another winter.

BRIDGEPORT TO
HAVE 100000
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Half a Million Expected to
Be Expended on Buying
Presents.

Bridgeport will look forward this
year to half million dollar Christ
mas. While this figure even may be
greatly exceeded by private gifts, the
distribution of wealth by local
banks and Christmas clubs is estimat
ed to approximate this figure.
Statistics available at the Bridge
port Trust Co.'s office, which oper-
ates the largest Christmas club in
Connecticut, disclose that $500 is
already on deposit, with remaining de-
postts due Tuesday, December s,
which will bring the total to $3.50, 900.
With a 10 days interval in which to
check up accounts finally, a large
force Of clerks will be employed in
sending out especially printed checks
for the amounts saved during the year
by the depositors. These checks will
begin in alphabetical order, requiring
two or three days to complete.
Another source of saving this year
has been a large number Of clubs
maintained by merchants through out
the city where it is estimated today
by one Of the leading merchants that
fully $4,000 more has been deposit
ed. This estimate he said was con-
serva live and that the amount laid
aside with merchants might total $780,
1000.
Officers in civic and mercantile or

assert that this figure will be tripled.
Upon a comparative basis from fig
ures obtainable at the Bridgeport
Trust Co., whore last years Christ
mas savings were $4,000 or a little
more than half the amount accumu-
lated in trust this year, and with no
mercantile clubs to swell the fund,
it appears that Bridgeport will give
more than twice the intrinsic value in
presents this year than last
An added factor in the Christmas
buying this year will be the reserve

situations which have increased mil

From all external appearances, the
maximum amount to be expended
here will be the greatest in the his
tory of the city and some auth critics
