ARAB REBELS take
TURKISH FORTRESS
Town of Yembo on Red Sea
Occupied and Garrison
Made Prisoners.

London Aug IAN Arab force dis
patched to the Hejas coast of the Red
sea after the fall of Jeddah, has taken
the Turkish town and fort of Yembo,
says a dispatch from Rome to Reuters
Telegram company. The troops in the
Turkish garrison were made prisoners
and guns and munitions We're captured.
Apparently, the dispatch adds, the
grand sheriff of Mecca is putting his
house in order. He is arranging for
the publication OF a weekly official
journal whereby the news and opinions
may be conveyed to the public. He has
appointed an Arab to collect the Gus
toms at Jeddah, has nominated doc
tors to study hygiene in the army and
has named competent police instruc-
tor.
The grand sheriff Of Mecca, the chief
magistrate of the Holy City, pro-
claimed his independence of Ottoman
rule early In June and was supported
by Arab tribes in the west and central
parts of Arabia. The sheriff began op-
erations about June 8, and in a short
time captured the garrisons of Mecca,
Jeddah. the chief seaport of Arabia,
and the town OF Taft.
1embo is the Red sea port of the city
OF Medina, which lies 1875 miles to the
west. Yembo is situated on a low
sandy and bare tract and has shell
tered harbor. 1t is a place of transit
of pilgrims from Egypt to the holy
cities of Arabia.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The end Of one Of
experienced came today on the wings
Of an 1S-mile wind from the north. A
drop Of 20 degrees in temperature from
1922 the highest record reached yester-
day. was recorded at 9 a. M, when the
government thermometer registered 81.
The wind sprang up at o'clock and
gradually increased in velocity, the
weather bureau predicting it would
shift to the northeast, whence comes
the usual cooling lake breeze" Lake
Michigan, yesterday nearly as smooth
as glass, today was covered with white
caps.
The hot spell began July 1, since
which time the temperature was con-
stantly above normal. Yesterdays
record was 20 degrees higher than the
normal There is no indication Of a
return of the heat for days, according
to the weather bureau.
Latest figures show that 2S4 persons
died in Chicago directly or indirectly
from the effects Of the heat.
Chicago, after yesterdays tragedy of
lis deaths attributed to the heat and
more than 400 prostratiors for the most
part slept out doors again last night.
The numerous parks Of the city were
vast sleeping apartments and Lake
Michigan, the friend of rich and poor
alike, furnished comfort to thousands
of bathers rs late as midnight. On many
of the beaches the usual regulations
were forgotten. More than 100000 per-
sons, it was estimated, spent yesterday
ana last night in the lake and nearly as
many We're turned away because of lack
of accommodations.
The record breaking death rate OF
the last week has seriously tested the
facilities Of th,aS coroner's office. The
high mortality among infants has been
the most distressing phase of the stu
alton. Upwards of 80 babies We're re-
ported to have succumbed to the heat
during yesterday.
Cool Wave Is Due.
The local forecaster is authority for
the statement that today is to be just
like yesterday, only perhaps not quite
so warm. Last night he said he would
be surprised if the thermometer failed
to go above 80 degrees. The promise
of cooler weather was made good Sc
far as the Lake Superior region was
concerned, last night, according to the
forecaster.
The cool wave, which is coming from
the northwest, is moving faster on its
north end than 1t is on it's south end
No hope Of rain Immediately is held

London. Aug. Especial dispatches
from Saloniki say that Serbian sue
cesses on the Greek frontier continue
and that Serbians are entrenching on
line only 300 yards from the from
tier, gain Of over five miles. On
Thursday large force Of Bulgariens
attacked the Serbian positions north
Of Strupino. but a powerful counter at
lack routed them and the Bulgarians
fled in disorder, leaving many dead,
together with considerable material.
One correspondent says: All the
Bulgarians who had come down in the
plains from the mountains along which
he frontier lies have been driven up
into the hills again, and most of the
ridges are now occupied by Serbians
1t is expected that the Serbians in
few days will be in possession OF all
the positions they need along the whole
line. Moreover. they have gained what
they sought at small cost"

Kovel and Le1,,berg F ace
Inevitable Fall Before
Russian Advance. Belief

Petrograd. tvia London). Aug. L.
In the region of Brody on the Volhy-
man and Galician frontier, Russian
troops are pursuing the Austro Ger
man armies, it was officially announced
here today, and have reached the riv-
ers Graberki and Sereth.
London, Aug. 1.-The early fall OF
Lemberg and Kovel before the Russian
advance is thought probable. How the
Germans, pressed in the west by the
Anglo French and in Courland by the
Russians under Kuroptakin. will be
able to reinforce Generals Won Linsing-
en- and Won Bothmer. is something not
easily explained. General Brusiloff's
striking victories present the German
general staff with the imperative prob
lem of how to reinforce the eastern
front, since General Won Linsingen,
who was sent by the Germans to aid
the shattered Austrians, now has been
completely thrust back from the Lutsk
salient.
The Russians remarkable victories

Won Bothmer, holding the Strip near
the Lemberg- Tarnopol railroad, was q
few weeks ago being outflanked on tho
south by General Letchitzky's success
full advance when the Dneister floods
prevented Letchitzkys further prog
ress. This enabled Won Bothmer to
hold on to the threatened positions.
General Sakahroiff then devoted him
self to enveloping Won Bothmer's force
on the north. with what success Is seen
in his double victory west OF Lutsk and
at Brody.
Thus outflanked north and south, It
Is considered impossible that Count
Won Bothmer can longer delay extricat-
Ing himself from his precarious posi-
ton. even II he now can do SO without
serious losses. The Russians at Brody
are at present nearer Lemberg than
Won Bethmer's forces, which are en-
trusted with Lemberg's defense: and,
although the country between Brody
and Lemberg is very difficult. 1t be-
comes a question whether the evacua-
ton Of both Kovel and Lemberg will
not soon become necessary,

Washington. Aug. 1.-Extracts from
the final report of the inspector gener-

the war department, show that Col.

Thirteenth cavalry of Columbus and
any other persons who could be found
with information on the subject. Parts
Of the testimony We're given out with
the substance Of the inspector gener-
aPs findings. Unless there are some
unexpected developments, the report
probably marks the closing Of the CO.

concerned.

be advised that no stigma rests upon
his conduct Of command at Columbus,
N. NJ. at the time Of Villas attack, and
