At Pozieres the Australians are still fighting furiousIy with the Germans for possession of the village and the head of the road leading from it to Eapaume and the greater part of the village is now reported to be in their hands. There has been q diminuLiOn in the vicious fighting which began Saturday night along the British front from Thiepval to Guillemont.
 A condition of comparative calm prevails south of the Somme along the French line, where the only ffhting reported-aud that a minor engage ment-resulted in the French capture of a German battery south of EstTecs. Eastward. in the Nerdun region, the Trench have occupied a German re- doubt west of Thiaumont, taking with lt five machine guns and two scores of prisoners.
 Berlin still asserts that the only re- suit of the British attack Sunday along the Thiepval line was the penetration of a few houses in the village of Pozieres and that the Australians obtained these only after having suffered sanguiuary losses.
 That German troops have been re- moved from the Ncrdun front for the somme operations is apparent from the German statement that Brandeburg grenadiers of DouaumOnt fame" de-

feated the British in the fight Sunday at Longueval.
 Although unofficial reports have credited to the Russians big gains against the Germans in the Riga re- zion of Russia, neither the Petrograd d nor Berlin communications have as yet recorded any important changes in terrain there.
 Petrograd claims the dislodgment of the Germans from the village of Galitchanie, on the Lipa river, in VOlhynia, while Berlin says that near the GaliCian border in southern Vol hynia strong attacks by the Russians against the German line were repulsed
 Emperor William is reported to have left the French front to observe op- erations in the east.
 The Russians have made further progress against the Turks in the Erzingan region of Turkish Armenia, while to the south, along the Persian front, the Turks report that they have gained fresh successes over the Rus sians.
 The Italians in the Astico and Aviso regions of the Austro-Italian theatre report continued advances against the AUstrians.

New York. July 24-Agents and col lectors enlpoyed by the Prudential h. surance company were called out on strike today by 9 union recently or ganized among them and known as the International Insurance Agents Pro- tective association, with a membership of 5000. Although claims of the com pany and the union were conflicting, it appeared tonight that at least 500 men in this district have responded to the strike call thus far.
 Demands of Employees.
 The men demand better pay, recog- milton of the union and more reason able" working hours. TeIegrams from branches of the union in different cities in the territory east of Chicago, lead CTS here declared, indicate that unless the demands of the men are met all the 6,000 will follow the lead of those al- ready out.

Home Rule for
 Ireland Deferred
CABINET HAS BEEN UNABLE TO
 REACH A DECISION
NEGOTIATION A FAILURE
Stumbling Block Appears to Have Been Retention in imperial Paria- nnent of Undiminished Nationalist Representation.

London, July 24, 5.20 p. m-Con- fnIning publicly today the suspicion that the cabinet had been unable to reach a decision in regard to the home rule amending bill, Premier Asquith in the house of commons announced that the government would not introduce any bill of this kind with regard to which there was not substantial agree- ment among all parties.
 David Lloyd George Fails.
 This was taken in the Iobbies of par Hament to mean that home rule had been dropped for the moment and that David Lloyd Georges negotiations had come to naught.
 The stumbling block appears to have been the retention in the imperial par- liament of nationalist representation in undiminished numbers.
 Lively Debate Anticipated.
 John Redmond, leader of the na- tionaHsts, moved an adjournment of the house to discuss the premier's S responsibility and a lively debate when the regular business of the house of commons was concluded was antici- pated.
 Growing Feeling of Unrest.
 The discussion of 0Tr. Redmond's s motion to adjourn the house of com mons in order to call attention to the rapidly growing feeling of unrest in
 
 Irish situation which must result from the government not proposing to car ry out in entirety the terms offered by it for a settlement of the Idish diffi- Culty as accepted by the Irish parties began with a speech by MT. Redmond
 Statement by Mir. Redmond.
 The Irish nationalist leader declared he did not want to attack anybody, but merely to state the facts, which, he said, spoke for themselves. He said that when two months ago Pre- mier Asquith had returned from Ire land and announced that the present system of government had broken down and said the cabinet had unani- mOusly requested MT. LlOyd-George to bring about, if possible, a provisional settlement of the Irish question by the consent of every one concerned, he was thrilled by the hope that in the in- terest not only of Ireland but of the empire the Irish question might be put out of the way until the war had ended.
 The proposals MT. Lloyd George put before Sir Edward Carson and him self, MT. Redmond said, were in no serse their proposals, but after con- siderable negotiations and many changes they agreed to recommend them to their friends. MT Redmond declared he had had the greatest diff fiCulty in obtaining the consent of his supporters, not one of whom would have considered the proposals unless they were put forward as a purely temporary settlement for the period of the war.

Neither Side Has Had Chance Fully to State It's Position-Brftish Am bassador at Washington Has cabIed for Information.

London, July 24, 6.1O p. m.-Dip1o- matic exchanges between WaShing g'ton and London with regard to the statu- tory blacklist have not yet passed the stage of inquiry. As the result of his talk with Frank L. Polk, acting sec- retary of state, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador at Washing ton, has cabIed to the foreign office asking for an eIucidation of several points in the blacklist not understood by the state department.
 Page to Confer With Marquis of Crewe
 Walter Hines Page, the American a1nbassa dor in London, who already has visited the British foreign office on the subject of the blacklist, will confer tomorrow with the Marquis of Crewe the favorite leader in the house of lords, and Lord Robert Cecil, min ister of war trade. At the foreign of flee it was stated today that it was quite incorrect to say grave situa- ton had arisen.
 No Protest Has Been Made.
 Nothing in the nature of a protest has yet been received and neither side has had a chance to fully state it's position T. is felt, however, that the foreign office will rely on the doctrine that a nation has the undisputed right to legislate as regards it's own na- tiOnals Officials at the foreign office state they do not believe the British government will rely greatly on prece- dents established in the American Civil war and the Spanish American war

THOUSANDS VIEW BODY OF
 JAMES WHlTCoMB RILEY Crowds Assembled Long Before Doors of State House Were Opened.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 24-Thous-, ands of men, women and children, ad- mirers of the works of James Whit comb Riley, the HOOsier poet, passed before the casket in which his body lay in state in the capitol late this af- ternoon and early tonight The crowds had assembled long before the doors of the state house opened at o'clock and although about 75 persons a nin- ute were admitted to the building at first and more later, the waiting thrOng became greater as evening ap- preached.
 The casket was covered with three floral designs only. They were the state and city enblems and one from a friend.
 Definite funeral arrangements had not been made early this evening. as Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Payne of New York, sister of the poet, had not ar rived or telegraphed her desires in the matter. The other relatives are wait ing to hear from her before taking f. nal action. The burial will be either in Indianapolis or Greenfield, Ind. his boyhood home.
 The body will not be placed ip A cheerless and bleak vault. The execu- tive committee of the committee which arranged the Riley Day cele- 6ration Oct. ', 1915 has decided to decorate the vault with flowers and rugs. Practically all local florists were sold out of flowers today.

see that premiums are turned in at the proper time, the strikers assert will result in the cancellation of thou sands of policies. The company, an ticipalting the strike, has announced that arrangements are being made to protect pOlicyholders and to have the strikers replaced by experienced men. The company announced that none of the men who walked out would be re- instated under any circumstances.
 The Original Grievance.
 The strike followed the cornpany's s dismissal of 30 or 40 employees who had formed protective association and the refusal of the company today to receive its representatives. The orig inal grievance, 1t was stated, was a. recent rule Ibid down by the con- pany which provides that no matter what the circumstances may be, when premiums on policies are four weeks in arrears the policy must be can celled This ruIe if enforced, agents declare, would result in a wholesale lapse of policies and a reduction of their income.

MEXICAN OUTLAWS RESPONSIBLE
 FOR EXCHANGE OF SHOTS
General George Bell, Jrs Has So Noti-
 fled General Gonzales.

Fl Paso, July 24.-GeneraI George Bell, Jr., commanding the Fl Paso mil tary district tonight notified General Francisco Gonzale. commandant in Juarez. that his reports indicated that six outlaws, Villa sympathizerS, have been responsible for the recent eX- changes of shots between Massachu- setts national guardsmen in this vii cinity and Mexicans south of the from tier. These outlaws, General Bells in- formation said, have a rendezvous on the iSland", a bit of Mexican terri tory, a few miles below Fl Paso, left on the American side of the river when the Rio Grande formed a new channel. He suggested that General Gonzales take steps to break up the band.
 Both General Bell and General Con- gales tonight continued their investiga- ton of last nights exchange of shots between OutpOStS of the Ninth MaSSa- chusetts Infantry and reports that the Americans had crossed into Mexican territory. During the day the two commanders exchanged views several times through Andre Garcia, Mexican consul at Fl PasO, with a view of eliminating the Sniping below Fl PaSO.
 General Gonzales and MT. Garcia announced that they had protested to General Bell against the conduct of the militiamen, who, they said, crossed into Mexican territory yesterday morning in violation of Mexican rights and last night shot up without provo cation a number of homes nthe Mex ican side of the border.
 General Bell said, however, that MT. Garcia had communicated with him by telephone and that he did not regard the conversation in the nature of a protest, but rather a notification that the Mexican authorities were willing to cooperate in every way to eliminate possible chances of friction between the two commanders.
 General Bell added that Brigadfer General Leroy Sweetser, commanding teh Nassa achusetts troops, reported that the Mexicans fired first

 PartiaIity Was Shown.

London, July 24, 11.42 p. m.-A sig nifiCant remark was made in the house of commons this evening by Premier ASquith at the conclusion of a debate on motion for adjOurnmnet made by John Redmond, the Nationalist Iead- CT, following an announcement by the premier that the government had no intention of introducing any home rule for Ireland bill with regard to which there was no substantial agreement among all parties. In appealing to the NatiOnaIists not to throw away the opportunity for bringing home rule into immediate operatian, MT. As Quith said
 T ask the house and will ask the country if necessary, if the govern ment's proposals are not fair"
 Just before the motion of MT. Red mond was voted down, MT. Asquith directly addressed the NationausLs, denying that any partiality had been shown to either side during the negO- tiations. MT. Asquith declared that the exclusion of the six Ulster coun- ties from the operation of the home rule act was to his mind the greatest give and take arrangement ever made in the history of a political cOntro- yersy and he asked the nationaIists not to break off the negotiations.

s498, ,763.54 NOW IN THE TREASURYs CONSCIENCE FUND Returns Much Larger the Past Year
 Than Ever Before.

Washington. July 24.-Contributions to the treasury's conscience fund for the fiscal year ending June 30 amounted to $54,923.15, making a. total of $49S,763.54 returned by persons whose consCiences were uneasy over frauds against the government.
 Figures compiled at the treasury de- partment today show the returns were much larger during the past year than ever before, chiefly because of two un- usual contributions, one for $30,00O 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 govern ment. The money was turned into the treasury and although actually there never has been a separate conscience fund, records of all such contributions have been kept. It is an unwrttten 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 from the govern nlent the money has been accepted and no effort made to prosecute.
