Germans Say Tremendous
Successes of Russians and
British Are IndeciSiUe
BY Associated PreSs

Berlin, Monday, July 81, via Lon
don, Aug. 1. - Turkish officers are
now familiar sight in the streets of
Lemberg and the vanguard of the
Turkish troops being sent to the south
eastern battlefront has already been
detrained, according to dispatches
from the Galician capital. The Otto
man forces however apparently have
not yet been thrown into the struggle.
The German commanders are bidding
their time to launch their counter
blow at the Russians, disregarding the
indecisive successes which General
Brussiloff and. his associate army
commanders may be able to attain
by the tremendous expenditure of
force.
The Teutonic retirement on the
Lutsk front from Kiselin, west of
Lutsk, northward to the point where
the Kovel-Sarny railroad crosses the
Stockhod, and the abandonment of
the line following the course of the
Stokhod is regarded here without ap-
prehension and, in fact, as in a GER
tain way a hopeful sign as the new
line cutting across the big bend in the
Stokhod is only about 2S miles long,
in contrast with the approximate So
miles of the former front. propor-
tionately smaller force is capable of
detendlng 1t, the surplus thus be re-
leased for employrn ent elsewhere.
On the western front the British, ac-
cording TO German war correspond
ents, appear to be on the point of re-
attempting the task which they found
impossible on July l, namely, to crush
the German front north of the Ancre
brook in an attempt to reach Bapaume
from the west. The British artillery
hre on the front between CONNIE
court and -Hamel on Satur-
day and Sunday was of the most vio-
lent character being apparently pre-
llmlnary to a new onslaught against
the heavily fortified line upon which
the British divisions dashed them
selves valiantly but vainly in the first
days of their storming attack. Stimuli
taneously the British artillery was ex-
from Thiepval.

Seven ZeppeIins With
Aeroplanes in Latest
Raid Over British Isles

London, Aug. l. - Last nights raid
on the eastern and southeastern coun-
ties OF England was carried out bv
seven or more zeppelins accompanied
oy aeroplanes, according to reports of
observers who sighted the afrcraf # re-
turning homeward. No details have
been received of the number of bombs
dropped, the damage done or the
casualties caused, if any, but inde-
pendent accounts say one Zeppelin,
caught by searchlights, was heavily
fred upon by antiaircrart guns and
II is believed that the airship was hit

Wires That Killed Bishop
Must Be Safely Placed

In a report made to the Public
Service Commission to-day John P
Dohoney investigator of accidents of
4he commission, recommends that the
wires of the Cumberland Railways
Company be placed above instead of
Inder bridge near Mt. Holly Springs.
This report follows the death of
Bishop w. P. Eveland, of the Metho-
iist Church, who was killed by cleo
ric current from wires which had
been touched by his steel fishing rod
while fishing near the bridge.
In his report, Mr.. Dohoney saws:
Hon. VIM. D. B. Ainey. Chairman,
The Public Service Commission,
Harrisburg, Pa
body of the Rev. William Perry Eve
and, Bishop of Southern Asia for the
Methodist Episcopal Church. was
ound on the bank of Mountain Creek
bout one mile north of Mt. Holly
Springs, in Cumberland county. The
generally accepted theory, based on
. he circumstances surrounding the
base, is that the unfortunate man was
#lectrocuted; the cause being the con-
act of a steel fishing rod. which he
Harried, with a transmission line of
1000 volts owned and operated by
he Cumberland Railways Company.
The line passing the point where the
ccident occurred has a vertical clear
nce above ground of but ten feet.
md, although it traverses private
property and a rather inaccessible
ocality, its maintenance should not
be allowed.
The wires are in dangerous proxim-
ty to the ground for the reason that
hey are carried under a bridge of the
Philadelphia & Reading railway, and
therefore recommend that they be
arried above the bridge in accord
nee with standard specifications and
uch plans as the Chief of the Bureau
Il Engineering may require.
Respectfully,
JOHN P. DOHONEY,
Investigator of Accidents.

DECATUR Street HAS 4
LITTLE Of EVERYTHING

ATLANTA, Ca, April 29.-Decatur
street, Atlanta's most noter thouogh-
fare, next to the famous Peachtree
where Atlanta peaches bloom the year
round, is the possessor of good many
different institutions that are suitably
located with reference to the police
station, which keens constant watch
full eye on the doings of its denizens,
but one of the things it must not per-
nit itself, not only after May 1, but now
and at all other times, is naughty post
cards. A policeman patrolling his
beat found a cut-rate jeweler dispens-
ing some pictures that made even the
Decatur bartenders blush, and when
arraigned before Recorder Johnson, the
jeweler was ordered to burn his cards
or shake Atlanta's dust from off his
shoes. He took the former course.

ODER IS NOT PRESENT
At GRAND OPERA HERE

ATLANTA, Ca, April 29.-Atlanta
society people wo have been entertain
ing the stars of the Metropolitan opera
company with a continuous round of
receptions, dances and banquets since
their arrival last Monday, have been
disappointed by the absence from these
functions of Madame Marguerite Ober
the famous German contralto, who in
private life is Mrs. Arthur Arndt, wife
o. her former music teacher. She and
her husband have sojourned quietly in
their hotel, her only appearance being
in the two roles she sang this week.
Yesterday the disappointed hosts of
the various social functions who had
begun to consider Madame Ober's indif-
ference to their hospitality, discov-
cred the reason why she has accepted
none of their invitations. MIR. and Mr..
Arndt are expecting a visit from the
stork in July.

In regard to corn the outlook is not
so favorable. 1t is estimated that
the actual yield along the Western
railroad lines will be so per cent less
than was officially forecast. The
early crop turned out we'll, but
locusts, hail and drought accounted
for the falling off in the yield. The
estimated output of this grain avail
able for export is given by the Central
Argentine Railroad at 100000 tons,
while last year the same line gave
for export 100000 tons. There is
still a good deal of last years grajn
on hand.
Altogether the situation in the
argentine anu SOutn America gen.
orally is rather ambiguous. With Wis

hand and with ready markets awaiting
supplies, these perishable asets can
not be forwarded or liquidated for
lack of freighters. This hardship is

AMER|CUS WINS
FAME FOR A CITY
Of CONVENTIONS
The reputation of Americas as

The reputation of Americas as
convention city is established.
The Elks convention has come and
gono, and was handled in a manner
that would have done credit to
much larger city. To the minds oi
some the ability to take care of such
crowd as was here during the con-
vention was doubtful, but since it is
all over it is pretty generally agreed
that she could have done even better,
aid that hereafter no fears need be
Tad of Americas not being able to
handle any crowd she may invite. 1t
was remarked on every hand by the
visiting Elks that Americas had litter
ally crowned herself with glory in the
manner of handling a crowd and the
matter of hospitality and entertain
ment.
This is an eventful year with Ameri-
Gus so far as big doings' is concerned
hardly are we off with one before we
are on with another, thus is demon
strated our prosperity and growing
popularity.
Soon we will be in the midst of COM
mencement season. The sweet girl
graduates and the promising young
men will hold the stage and command
the attention of the community, to
say nothing of the alteration of the
fcnd mammals and papas, and the
admiration of host of friends ami
acquaintance.
Next in the schedule will be fourth
CT July. Then it is our patriotic zeal
will spring forth to do honor to the
time when those noble souls, our fore
bears, put their names to the paper
that put us beyond the pale of despot-
ism and made possible this grand and
glorious country of ours. The day
without doubt will be fittingly obsery-
ed in Americas.
Then will come the best and most
Icommendable time of them all, when
in August we will entertain the State
Confederate Veterans Association.
That this will be done in a manner
royal goes without the saying. All
Americas honors the heroes of the
gray and are ever ready to do the
things that will rebound to the honor
and glory of the lost but just cause.

gram-constitutiona revision, includ-
irg universal manhood suffrage and
the question of woman's suffrage and
possibly the thorny education ques
ton; far-reaching taxation reforms,
old age pensions, etc.-are of very
controversial nature and deeply di-
vide the various political parties But
to the reproaches addressed to it by
the parties of the Right that it is thus
breaking the political truce, the Gov
ernment replies: "It is high time
these questions, which have so long
occupied the political arena and
which, indeed, we promised to dea,
with, were settled. Just now, when all
parties have been drawn together in
unfolding the safety of the country,
let us take advantage of the spirit of
cancellation so evoked and with as
little partisanship as possible try to
solve them. But while these are our
as a Cabinet, we leave vol
entirely free to accept or reject them
as you will, with the full assurance
that our life as a Cabinet, and the
foreign police of the country, on which
all are agreed will not be affected
thereby. Vote as you will, accept or
reject the legislative measures put
before you: 1t will not affect the
Nj .s,ry now in office as a whole,
whose existence depends on your
continued support of it foreign policy
and not on it's home legislative pro-
posals."
That this new constitutional preced-
ent should have started some people
and led members the opposition par
ties of the Right to ask: What has
become of ministerial responsibility?
is not surprising. THE basic rule
that Ministers are responsible that
was introduced into the Constitution
when the Liberal party was at the
height of its power, is thus set on one
side by this government, by this class
ic Liberal Prime Minister" says the
Tyd. The debacle of the Liberal ad-
ministration is consummated by this
extra-Parliamentary Cabinet. Began
by breaking the continuity of legisla-
ton, continued by suspending col
lective responsibility, 1t ends by de-
claring Ministers no longer RESPONSE
BILE" Such sharp criticism may be
formally well founded but most peo-
PIE in Holland seem to be agreed that
forms and precedents must not stand
in the way of the vital interests and
safety of the country.
