LONDON, July 20. $40 p.m.-A wire
reported from Petrograd that a great
battle is developing at Jablonitza, the
results Of which thus far have been
favorable to the Russians.
In addition to the heavy fighting in
the Carpathians. the dispatch says, the
Russian offensive has been resumed
before Kovel and Vladimir -volynski
and In the Riga area.
Jablonitza is In the Carpathians
south of Kolomea. near the northern
end of one of the mountain passes
leading to Hungary.
A Russian reverse in Galicia in the
foothills of the Carpathiars, near the
entrance to one of the mountain passes,
is reported in the latest Austrian Off
cial announcement, which says:
Southwest of Delatyn our troops
drove back across the Pruth river Rus
sian detachments which had crossed
to the western bank. We took 800
prisoners"
Blows Fall Regularly.
The Russian military critics dwell on
regularity of the strategic and tactical
blows dealt by Russia on her various
fronts and the absence of any indications
that the enemy forces are able effectively
to parry them. The recent Russian sue
cesses have brought them much nearer
Vladimir-Volynski and kovel, and the
German communications between kovel
and Lemborg are threatened by the Rus
sian advance to Stoyanoff and Sokal, pre-
liminary to the investment of Lemborg.
Move to Rear of Pfanzer.
In Transylvania the Russians have OBJ

pest railway. Their cavalry is moving in
the rear of Gen. Planners forces between
Kimpolung and Kuty and apparently the
invasion of Hungary has begun.
The latest Russian official report
says:
"On the Riga front artillery engage
ments continue. AT Lake Miadziai our
Olschevsky, made surprise attack on
the Germans in the night, throwing
them into complete panic. Enemy air
men manifested great activity from the
region south of the Dvina to the Pinsk
marshes.
"On the Stokhod there was artillery
fighting at many places.
We repulsed by our artillery fire an
attempt on the part of the enemy to
take the offensive north of the Oder
marsh Owing to the heavy rains the
Dniester has risen almost two and one
half meters, destroying Austrian
bridges, buttresses and ferryboats.
On our left flank. in the region of
the Rivers Black and White Tchere-
southwest of Kuty, our infan-
try is advancing toward the mountain
defiles.'

Martial law has been declared

outbreak in Dublin. The lord lieu
tenant of Ireland reports that the
situation there is satisfactory and
says provincial advices are reas-
suring. Several positions taken by
the revolutionists, notably Ste

Fein party, has been seized. North
Lowestoft and Yarmouth were
bombarded by the German cruiser
squadron which attacked the east

Four persons were killed and IL
were wounded in the attack and
considerable material damage was
done. Berlin reports that in this

acknowledged that two cruisers
and a destroyer were hit, but said
no vessel was sunk. It was the
King Stephen which recently re-
fused to give aid to the crew Of
the Zeppelin Liz while the airship

there was another engagement
between British and German war
craft off the coast of Flanders,
Tuesday, in which a British de-
stroyer was damaged and an aux
Iary steamer sunk, the crew Of
the latter being made prisoners.
London, Colchester, Biackwater,

towns and a large British supply

says two British soldiers were
killed at Etaples. but that only in
significant material damage was
done. In infantry fighting in the
VosOes mountains Berlin claims
the capture to the northwest of
CeItes of French first and second
line trenches, while to the south
of this region. around Senoncs,
the French say they frustrated a
German attack against their po-
sition. Aside from this fighting
artillery bombardments and sap
ping operations have formed the
chief method Of warfare on the
western front. The regions of Avo-
court, Hill 3O8 and Monte Seville,
northwest Of Verdun, continue the
scene Of violent artillery activity.
The aerial corps Of both the
French and the Germans have
been engaged in fighting in the
air, or bomb dropping maneuvers.
No reports Of important events
have been received from any Of
the other war thcaters.

ATKINSON NEAR

HIS ADDRESS LAST EVENING IS
DIRECTED LARGELY TO THE

LAST MEETING ON SUNDAY EVENING

DR.. Atkinson delivered another
powerful address at the Presbyter.
ian church last evening, basing his
message on the story Of Paul before
Felix The congregation was fairly
large, and listened intently to his
words.
To the Ministers.
He addressed himself in partlcli-
lar to the ordained ministers last
evening, taking this one brief exper-
fence of Paul as an example. In his
mind two temptations came to Paul
which come to ministers of today
time and again. In the first place
Paul's audience was small and he
probably was tempted to save his
strength and energy In the utterance
of great truth until he had Il larger
congregation. However. Jesus Christ
gave some of the most vital truths
he ever spoke to one and two per
sens, and Paul was not greater than
his Lord. Again he might have been
| tempted To handle Felix with kid
gloves because the latter was ricl
and powerful man. So it IS with
many ministers. They are tempted tt
hammer at the straw man instead ot
directing their truths straight Mt the
/ man in their church who holds the
money bag strings, even though ht
may posses notoriously corrupt NOR
ais. But Paul hammered Felix un
til he cried enough" And just as
Felix did, so do many men today
for the road to hell is paved Will

greater success to desire than Il

of Christ as his personal savior

NEW YORK, April 26.The revolt

admissions OF the British government,
according to information reported to-
day to have been received in Irish
circles in this city. A force of about
10000 rebels is opposing the British
troops in Dublin and neighboring Irish
counties, it was asserted. The reports
had it that John McNeill, leader Of
