ARMY OF GRAND DUKE
PRESSING ADVANCE INTO
HEART OF ASIA MINOR
Russians Driving Demoralized
Moslems on Divric and Kara
hissar in Victorious
Offensive
TURK DEFENSE BROKEN
PETRoGRAD, July %.

PETROGRAD, July %.
Grand Duke Nicholas army of invasion
in Turkey continues it's onward drive and is
rapidly opening up the way into the very
heart of Asia Minor
The flower of the Turkish army has been
put to flight by the Russians and the
Turks are falling back in demoralized re-
treat on Divick and Karahkissar.
Colonel Shumsky, military critic of the
Bourse Gazette, says of the victory at Err
zingan:
"Ths defeat of the best troops of the OF
toman Empire has quite broken the Turkish
defense. No further serious offensive can
be expected, since only part of the divisions
from. the Constantinople Thracean and
Egyptian armies can be spared to patch
up these broken units"
The official report reads:
At Sapker twenty kilometers north
of Erzingan, we took 5000 hand gren-
AIDES, 1000 shells and 500 caissons of
cartridges. AT Hastahan we captured
n hospital of 500 beds. At Erzingan
we captured depot of rifles revolvers
bayonets and artillery munitions, to-
gether with 1000 pounds of petrol and
benzine. The towns of Erzlngan was
not damaged.
MARCHED 100 MILES IN WEEK.
The Cars troops covered 100 miles
within week in their advance on Erzingan.
The capture of that city means the virtual
completion of the Russian occupation of
Turkish Armenia, gives Russia the benefit
of an extremely fertile valley and opens
an easy means of communication through
Trebizond for the Western and Southern
Caucasian armies.
1t is estimated that the Turks had from
% to 80 divisions between the Black Sea
and Mush-approXimately 100000 men.
Three months ago the Turks undertook a
comprehensive campaign to recapture
Erzerum and incidentally draw troops from
the Russian European theater, but General
Udenitchin. the Russian commander in the
Caucasus, succeeded in holding the Turks.
LONDON, July 2S.-The news from
Petrograd that the Grand Duke Nicholas
has not stopped to rest at Erzingan, but is
continuing to drive the flying Turks along
the road TO SIvas and Angora, has Increased
the admiration and wonder with which the
military experts here have been watching
the reawakening of the Russian Bear.
1t had been supposed that he would stop
to rest his troops after what has been one
of the most difficult and wearing cam
paigns ever carried out by modern troops
"a long winter drive through bleak and
almost impossible mountains in the face of
the resistance of some of the best fighting
men in the world, and the spring and sum-
mer drive. still through the mountains now
sweltering under the almost tropical sun.
It had also been supposed that they would
have to wait for supplies 10 arrive over the
long caravan trails which have been the
only means of communication, and perhaps
also for the left wing of the army, which
is fighting its way along the coast OF the
Caspian, to catch up a little. That none
of these things have checked his advance
is considered wonderful proof of the met
tie of the men and the skill of their lead

His body was found in an abandoned auto
mobile by the Sheriff of Dorchester County
and his posse as they were coming here
from Cambridge, Md, in pursuit of the ne
groes, The Sheriff had been notified by
telegraph of the killings in Vienna.
When the Sheriff's party reached here
they found tire negroes hidden in vacant
house in Wolfe street. AS the posse ap-
preached the house at o'clock this morn
ing they found the negroes within were
heavily armed. Each had two revolvers.
Efforts were made to find dynamite in
Laurel with which to blow up the house
and make the negroes surrender, but no
dynamite could be found.
The posse then began n fusillade which
the negroes returned. AS they approached
the house, the negroes bounded out. Chief
of Police Bloodworth was the first shot.
The posse could not hold the negroes back.
They ran through the line of deputies and
citizens and started for the woods.
Before they had gone far the Sheriff's

BALTIMORE, July 2s.-The German
supersubmarine Deutschland today re-
quested the Maryland Pilots Associa-
tiOn to hold pilot in readiness to take
the submarine down Chesapeake Bay
to the Capes. The pilot will be ready to
go aboard the Deutschland at few
minutes notice. The request for a
pilot led to a general belief that the
Deutschland was planning to make
start for the open sea within twenty
four hours.
OTTAWA, Ont, July %. The report
that the German submarine Bremen had
ben captured and taken to Halifax was
officially denied here today.
The report referred to was published this
morning by the New York Herald. which

"a big task and, as one of the Germans

This fear is believed to be one of the
compelling motives behind orders to delay
the Deutschland's departure.
The Bremen, however, is vital factor.
Stories that she has been captured brought
this comment from a Deutschland official
today:
BAH She is not lost until three or four
weeks !" And he added that the Deutsch-
lands sister ship is too clever TO fall into
the meshes of the allied patrol
All was peaceful along the Patapsco early
today. There had been a long party
aboard the Neekar at the Deutschland pier !;
some of the crew had individual parties
ashore. rolling in during the early hours.
But no one would reveal when the
Deutschland's stay ends. The 4s hours
since the boat cleared expired this after
noon, but under local port rules it was
found that the vessel need not re-clear, as
supposed, except in case she alters her
cargo. This is being trimmed there is
a certain unevenness that might be an

traffic ordinances aiming Mt control OF au-
tomobile parking in the center of the city,
and the establishing Of zones Of graduated
speed for automobiles all over Philadelphia
would not be put into effect by the pohce
until early next week. Mayor Smith signed

ist. II will require three or four days to
bring this about, after which Lieutenant
Duffy. in charge of the Reserve Squad, will
issue general order to the police, follow
ing which the ordinances will become active
forces in traffic control In the meanwhile
