ITALIANS ARREST SWISS
AS GERMAN SPIES

Berne, July ia new and serious
controversy has arisen between Switz-
erland and Italy. During the last four
weeks the Swiss Government has re-
ceived appeals for aid from six Swiss
citizens who have been arrested in Mi
Ian, Genoa, Broscia and other Italian
cities as German spies.
The Swiss Minister in Rome was in
structed to demand the immediate re-
lease of the arrested men, but the
italian Government declined this re-
quest with the claim that the alleged
spies are disguised Germans and Aus
tro-H Hungarian officers.
The Swiss Government has furnish
ed the birth certificates of the six men
together with documentary proofs that
they have never Been naturalized in
any foreign country, but the Italian
authorities still refuse to release them.

ATKINSON sure TO
WIN, SAYS KELSO
Speaker Attacks Other DemOcra-
tic Gubernat0rial Candidates
Before Small Crowd,

l. r. Kelso, Russell Dearmont. Prof
W. w. Martin of the Normal School
and Lee Bowman last night addressed
small gathering at the Courthouse
in behalf of John NJ. Atkinson. About
fifty people were present.
Mr.. Kelso, who is the attorney for
electric light interests in st. Louis, is
one of Mr.. Atkinson's chief campaign
ers. He said Mr. Atkinson would be
nominated by the Democratic party for
governor.
Russell Dearmont, who presided as
chairman, held the same view that Nr.
Kelso did. Prof. Martin, who was in
vited to address the meeting, said he
was glad Mr.. Atkinson had indorsed a
new constitution for Missouri.
Lee Bowman, who is going to be
drafted by the Democratic party to fill
out the vacancy on the county ticket
for prosecuting attorney, rebuked The
Tribune. He charged this newspaper
with attempting to dictate the nom-
inees on both tickets. "The Tribune
admits that John Atkinson is one Of
the leading candidates" shouted Bow
man, "and when The Tribune admits
that much for one Of it's enemies, it
must be true"
Benson e. Hardesty and Prof. Dear
mont, who occupied seats in the rear
of the crowd, furnished the applause.
They clapped several times during the
meeting.
Mr.. Kelso, who was billed as the
stellar attraction, spent most of his
time attacking other Democratic can
didates for governor, but he did not
mention their names.
John NJ. Atkinson will be in Cape
Girardeau next Monday evening to
speak at the Courthouse, it was an
nounced last night by his supporters.
1t IS expected that he will spend a
day in this county.
Atkinson leaders in this city say he
will carry Cape Girardeau County over
any of his opponents. They say that
as the wet and dry issues have been
brought into prominence, Atkinson will
get majority of the Democratic votes
because they contend that fully sixty
five per cent of the Democratic vote in
Cape Girardeau County are dry.

Berlin, July 19.-Recapture of the
village Of Longueval and Delville
Wood from the British in a violent
German counterattack, was announced
by the War Office this afternoon.
German naval planes last night bonn
barded enemy cruisers, torpedo boats,
submarines and military establish
ments at the Russian naval port of Re-
val, on the Gulf of Finland, it was Off
cially announced this afternoon. The
planes were accompanied by Ger
man squadron.
"a number of hits were obtained on
enemy warships," said the Admiralty
statement. zone submarine was hit
four times. Large confagrations were
observed on the dock. All the Ger
man aeroplanes returned"
Repeated attacks by Gen. Kuropat-
kin's Russian army on the front Of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, south
west of Riga, broke down with heavy
enemy losses, the Water Office an
nounced this afternoon.
In Volhynia artillery combats con-
tinued in the region west and south
west Of the fortress of Lutzk.
The village of Longueval, which was
captured by the British at heavy cost
of life in resumption of the great
allied offensive, was stormed and re-
taken by the Germans in heavy fight
ing last night. With the capture of
Delville wood, it marks the, greatest
success for the Germans in counter at
tacking the British front since the al
lied offensive began.
By recapturing Longueval, the Ger
mans not only hold up the British ad-
vance toward Bapaume over the high
way from Bray, but check any further
advance by the French north of the
Somme.
British attacks north of Ovillers and
south of Pozieres, on the German left
wing, were dispersed. French attacks
north of Barleux and in the region
of Belloy-en-Santerre were checked.
On the Verdun front the French con-
tinued their fruitless attacks in the
region of Froide Terre.

.KACEFAVORS SPLASH
POOL FOR JUVENILES.
Boys and Girls Alike Enjoy
Swim in Bottom of War
Statue in Park.

After he had witnessed more than
a score of boys ranging in age from
s to Is years old splash and splatter
to their hearts content yesterday aft
ern0on in the bottom of the fountain
in the Courthouse Park, Mayor Kage
last night declared he will make every
effort to have a permanent children's
swimming pool made in the city park
at Lorimier and William street.
The water running into the fountain
was turned on full force and the pool
at the bottom was kept almost level
full So that it brought the water belt
deep on the youngsters.
Their use of the pool convinced many
grown-ups who passed by Of the ur-
gent need for such playground for
the youngsters. The boys donned over
alls and some even had regular swim
ming suits They dove from the sides
of The fountain and performed many
tricks for the benefit of the circle Of
bystdnders who gathered.
Later in the evening when the crowd
of boys began to thin out, their places
were taken by girls who got an equal
measure of enjoyment in splashing and
sputtering with their eyes, nose and
mouth full of water.
When Mayor Kage told the boys who
applied to him fo rpermission to con-
vert the fountain pool into a splashing
pool, that they could use it, he enjoin-
ed them from throwing the water out
side the pool more than they could
help and warned them not to abuse
their privilege.
Yesterday afternoon, one of the boys
who had not been taken into the may
or's confidence, made a misstep and
he soon became the center of a half
dozen of his compGr>Sns who posted
him On regulations and warned him
that an infringement meant that all
lost the privilege of the pool.
Mayor Kage last night declared that
he lad been informed by st. Louis
landscape architect that to build a
swimming pool in the city park at
Lorimier and William street, would
mean an outlay of $4,000 or 100000.
The mayor said he feels confident
that something may be arranged at a
cost relatively low which will serve the
purpose Of the Cape Girardeau chill
dren as we'll asa high-priced pool. He
declared that he will try to see that the
children get what the city can afford.
Permission to swim in the lake at
Fairgrounds Park has not been ex-
tended by the mayor because of the
fact that swimmers would frighten
away the city's geese and ducks that
make their home on the lake, as we'll
as disturb the fish with which the lake
is being stocked. A sewerpipe also
empties into the lake which, makes it
undesirable.

FRISCO Sale A CUT
and DRIED AFFAIR
knehans Says Auction Was Run
According to Printed
Directions.

City Counselor 0. A. Knehans early
this morning returned from st. Louis
where he attended the sale of the Fris-
co system under foreclosure decree of
Judge Sanborn, and pronounced the
auction of the road "cut and dried
affair, carried out as prearranged ac-
cOrdiag to printed scenarios" furnish
ed by Frisco officials and the reorgani-
zation committee.
Mr.. Knehans told the story of one
of the scenarios" that he obtained in
which every step that transpired dur
ing the sale was written out in detail.
This was found in the printed form
that put the words into the mouth of
Trustee Tom FauntlerOy, auctioneer,
as we'll as Basil B. Elmer and William
B. Phillips, New York capitalists,
who did the bidding.
To conduct the sale required two
hours, during which time, the fifty men
concerned in the transaction stood be-
side a sizzling hot roundhouse in the
Frisco yards at 1900 Chouteau avenue,
st. Louis, and under a sun that was
broilirg. Locomotives, whose destinies
the sale controlled, puffed back and
forth, Mr.. Knehans said, impressing
their audience with the volume of
smoke and steam they could belch at
the lawyers and capitalists.
The sale started at noon when Mr..
Fauntleroy began reading the notice
of sale. This alone required more than
the first hour. At the close of the reci-
tafion of the notice, Mr.. Fauntleroy
extended Mr.. Knehans an opportunity
to read Cape Girardeau's notice to the
prospective purchasers.
The notice served a warning upon
the tentative buyers of the Frisco sys-
tenn that the city of Cape Girardeau
will expect a lawful maintenance of
the Frisco franchise contract after the
reorganization committee takes charge
of the line.
Under the terms of the franchise
which the city has extended to the
Frisco, the railroad is supposed to
erect a wall on the riverfront, build a
$4,000 station, maintain certain shops
here and maintain a 60-cent coal rate
into the Cape from the Marion, H.,
coal field.
A certified copy of this notice was
handed to Mr.. Fauntleroy by Mr.. Kne-
hans after he had read it. This will
be included in Mr.. Famtleroy's report
of The sale to Judge Sanborn and in
that manner it becomes a court record
that the city of Cape Girardeau gave
notice of the contract with the Frisco,
in the event litigation arises over the
abrogation of the contract.
R. B. Oliver also was present at the
sale and read similar notice for the
Little River Drainage District, insist
ing upon the drainage districts rights
in litigation over the construction of
a bridge over one of the diversion
channels.
While the sale was being conducted,
Mr.. Knehans noticed that some of the
officials were apparently reading their
parts from a printed sheet. The vari-
Gus parts of the Frisco system were
described on the sheet and the bids

lage of Longueval and Delville Wood
was announced today by the War Of

The official statement says:
"Western front: In the SOmme dis
trict, the village of Longueval and Del
Vile Wood adjoining were recaptured
last night from the British after fierce

lost eight officers and $50 men in pris-
oners and left considerable number of
machine guns in our hands.
"Eenemy attacks on our position
north of Ovillers and against the

not the slightest success anywhere.
"South of the Somme, French local
attacks failed to the north of Barleux
and near Belloy. At other points they
were checked at the outset.
"On the right bank of the Meuse the
enemy continued his fruitless ecOrts
against our lines on Froide Terre
