London. Russia campaign in Bes-
sarabia continues to be the most inn
portant visible war activity. From the
Pripet to the Roumanian frontier,
over a front Of at least 800 miles, a
huge Russian force with a great ap-
pearance of confidence is hurting
sledgehammer blows at the opposing
force, which, according to all &C
counts, totals at least 100000.
Petrograd still claims considerable
successes in the early stages of the
campaign and dispatches emphasize
the excellent equipment, supplies and
munitions that Russia laid up for this
purpose during period of compara-
tive passivity.
Some London observers, specalat-
ing on the meaning OF the Bessarabia
move hail it as one of the most ambi-

ming of hostilities, and predict that it
will prove colossal attempt to break

Succumbs After Long illness.
shington.-Joseph Rucker La
mar, associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States, died at his
home here Sunday night, after an i'll
ness of several months. He was 58
years old and had been on the supreme
bench five years.
The immediate cause of death was
gradual heart failure, FASTENED by in
fiammation of one of the lungs which
had threatened to develop into pneu-
monia.
Associate Justice Joseph Rucker
Lamar had the distinction of being one
of the few members of the court ap-
pointed by a president of opposite po-
litical faith. President Taft appointed
him in 1910 with only two precedents
for such action, those of Justice Jack
son and Lurton.
Justice Lamar was born in Fuckers
vile, Elbert county, Ca, October IA,
1857. He attended the University of
Georgia and later Bethany college,
where he was graduated in 1877. He
attended the law school at Washing
ton and Lee university, and was ad-
mitted to the bar at Augusta. Ca, in
1878. He lived at Augusta until ap-
pointed to the supreme court bench.
In the practice of the law, he largely
represented railroads and other big
corporations, and yet in the day Of
antipathy to corporation lawyers, his
integrity was so highly regarded that
the senate without delay confirmed
his nomination.
