IRON MET STEEL

After FOrty-SecOnd Attack,
Germans Retire.

Petrograd, July II, via London
A dispatch to the Rusky Stovo from
southwestern headquarters says:
when news of the rolling up of the
Austrian fourth army and the forcing
of the defenses of Lutsk was received
in Berlin, the emperor ordered the
immediate dispatch thither of the best
available forces of the strategical re-
serves in France. The first troops sent
to support the Austrians were the
Tenth Imperial corps, including the

prowess much has been heard in Ger
many.

ski and was hurled next day against
General Kaledine's army. The COLI

tween Vladimir Volynski and Lutsk.
The onslaught of the German steel di-
vision was met by a Russian division
which in the earlier stages of the war
won the name of the iron division.

Advancing to the attack the Ger
mans fired tens of thousands of shells
in an uninterrupted cannonade for
four days and nights; then charge fol-
broke. Russian iron was proof against
German steel.
During a short lull on tie evening
of the second the Germans displayed
sign boards above their trenches bear
ing the inscription: Your Russian
iron is no worse than the German steel
but all the same we shall smash you

CAN'T ESCAPE TAXES
Cattle Brought fin After March 1 Are
Liable to Assessment.

Cattle brought into Kansas between
March and September l are subject
to taxation unless the owner can es-
tablish the payment of taxes on the
property in another state. That is the
decision of the supreme court in a
case from Greenwood county.
George A. Mosby shipped a train
load of cattle to the Greenwood coun-
ty pastures in May. He refused to
subject his stock to taxation and paid
taxes under protest. He won his case
in the district court. The supreme
court, however, reversed the case with
the assertion that Mosby must first
establish the payment of taxes in an
other state. Failing to do this, the
court assumes taxes have not been
paid and they are collectible in Kan

Baltimore, Md, July 11.-With no
restrictions upon them, Captain
Hughes, U. S. N, and customs men
boarded the big German super-sub-
marine Deutschland this afternoon to
inspect her for armament. This ac-
ton was taken upon permission of
Manager Hilken of the Ocean Trans
portation company, after Captain Ko-
mig, commander, had agreed the men
could learn no secrets of the vessels
construction Ind that they ought not
to be hampered if they carried gov
eminent credentials.
Their inspection was at the instance
OF the Washington state department
which had suggestions from the al
lies that it was improper to harbor the
ship as a merchantmen.
Rio De Janeiro, July 1.-THE state
chancello, has been officially in
formed that sister ship to the super
submarine Deutschland is now cross
ing the Atlantic and will arrive here
within ten days, the newspaper Rua
declared today.
United States authorities here, as
well as the Deutschland's consignees,
felt Hughes technical inspection
would reveal what they had already
aQJuQgeO-Indt the VESSEL 10 oAdA iACo
and strictly a peaceful merchantmen,
entitled to privileges and protection
in American harbors.
Guard Ship Vigilantly.
There was possibility, however,
that the consignees would balk at
Hughes's visit. The enormous deep
sea rover still lay under strictest guard
at her pier on the outskirts of the city
today. Stolid armed Germans, rein
forced by city police, saw to it that
the curious were kept at distance.
Trusted German 1ongshoremen were
the only ones admitted nearby.
The time of the Deutschlands de-
parture with her rubber and nickel
cargo was still kept secret-and will
be. In this connection the story went
that England may send over some mo-
tor patrols and some of her big ocean
nets to entangle the Deutschland after
she dashes out to sea- Rumor had it,
too, that British cruisers are already
concentrating beyond the hree-mile
limit 'si
1--WE Should Worry" About Allies.
Captain, KONG, however, only
shrugged his shoulders, smiled a
strange little smile and commented:
f'As you Americans say: We should
worry as long as the allies do not vio-
late the three mile limit law"
1t was thought here that the
Deutschland's sister ship Bremen will
| come to Baltimore eventually, ever
though it may visit Rio Janeiro, as
| dispatches from there stated today.
One prospect of trouble for the
Deutschland lay in the visit of Simon
Lake, submarine inventor, who frank
ly says that the Deutschland outward
ly appears to be an infringement or
his patents. though he was not pre-
| pared to say what action, If any, he
plans against her. He will not libel
| her here, at any rate, he said.

TO HELP MEXICO
German Officer Admits That
Was Mission ON Border.
-.rfr{r
He Planned to Teach Mexicans
Use Of Poison Gas.

NogaIes, Ariz., July 11.-Capt. Rich
ard Walter Schwierz OF the German
army, was arrested here b. the de-
partment of justice on July 8 on a
charge of violating the embargo on
the border. For reason of state, news
of the arrest has been censored.
Schwiorz admitted he was in the Ger
man secret service and was ready to
organize a German brigade in Mexico
against America.
Schwierz related an extraordinary
story of intrigue and adventure. His
purpose, he declared, was to organize
German legion in Mexico-arrange-
ments for the same having already
been made with Generals Obregon and
Gales. His colleague, Lieutenant Won
Doucette, a survivor of the German
cruiser Leipsic, that was sunk off the
Falkland islands a year and a half
ago. had already left louisville in a
war plane, with which he was to join
General Gales at Aqua Prieta.
Had Two Colleagues.
1t is not yet known here if Won
Doucette has succeeded in his task,
but Schwierz declared a third col
league who left the train before they
reached Nogales had successfully
reached the Mexican lines.
His purpose is to teach Mexicans,
he said, how to make poisonous gases
and liquid fire for use against the
Americans in the event of hostilities
SchW1erZ declared ne got out OF can
ada just at the outbreak of the war
and subsequently went to Mexico,
where he Joined the Carranza forces
and arranged for the organization of
German battalion in the City of
Mexico.
Full Battalion
eve had 400 Germans in the City
of Mexico he said, land with others
they made full sized battalion, now
concentrated in Sinaloa"
Schwierz is no amateur soldier nor
can he be new to the secret service
because he has the decoration of the
Red Eagle, and also the imperial med
al of the emperor's twenty-fifth ac-
cession anniversary, which is no empty
decoration. Won DoUcette also seems
to be distinguished officer and has
the iron cross of the first class with
the black, white and red ribbons.

PAYS FULL VALUE
Board of Administration Throws Light
on Teachers Salaries.

Members of the board of admins
tration have denied emphatically that
teachers in the state schools are de-
MED higher wages and are permitted
to go to other states. In a letter sent
by the board TO Scott Hopkins of To-
peka, it is asserted that the board has
abandoned the horizontal increase
plan and now pays salaries based
strictly on service.
Recently Hopkins condemned the
action of the board in permitting the
resignation of Prof. H. A. Mills of
Kansas university. Mills's resignation
was due to salary conditions. The
board, in response, declared that it
had recently denied an application for
20 per cent horizontal increase in
salaries and had distributed the money
among teachers and instructors who
displayed the greatest ability.
