 The forces under Grand Duke Nich- olas in Armenia and Persia have been fighting vigorously against the Turks for months. A few weeks ago parts of these forces practically those west of Erze. dm, were compelled to retreat before stronger Turkish army Early this week the grand duke resumed the offensive and recaptured Mamakhat- um, 50 miles west of Erzerum, so that the Turks have fallen back 25 miles from the fartherest point reached in their counter offensive.
 Fighting Along Stokhod.
 The armies directly south of the Pinsk marshes are fighting witt the Austro-German forces of General von Linsingen along the line of the Stock bod river. It probably will be several days before the decision is reached, as the Teutons have brought up strong endorsements in the hope of retain ing possession of Kovel, loss of which would necessitate the regrouping over long stretch of the front.
 North of the Pinsk marshes the fighting now is largely with artillery. In Galicia the Russian armies are re- forming to continue their attack.
 Battle Increases at Verdun.
 In the west the renewed efforts of the German crown prince at Verdun temporarily are attracting more atten- tion than the battle of the Somme. The attack just delivered by the Ger mans tefore Verdun is the seventh great onslaught with the dense mass es of troops since the operations be- gan five months ago. The Germans have made slight gain, but appar- ently this has not lessened the con- fidence of the French in their ability to hold Verdun. They still save three solid lines of defense.

SMALL NEWS
 OF BATTLE
However. British Are Maintaining Their Pressure and Advancing
 at Points; New Attacks.

London, July 13.-There was very little news today of the battle of Europe-a term commonly applied to describe the new co-ordinated entente allied offensive on all fronts. But the British official statement tonight shows that heavy infantry and artil- lery fighting has been in progress and has enabled the British to maintain their pressure on the Germans and ad- vance their line at various points
 The British forces at Mametz woods are within 300 yards of the German second line. The French forces are separated only by the narrow Soomme valley from the German third line through Peronne and Mont St. Quen- tin and both armies are doubtless en- gagged in preparations for the next at tack.
 A conference of the munitions min isters of the four entente allies held in London today and presided over by the British war minister, David L.. George.
 Major Moraht. in the Berliner Tage- blatt, expresses the opinion that the coming days will be decisive of the is- sues of the whole war.
 Important Move Indicated.
 The reticence of the Russian official communications at the present mo- ment, judging by precedent, indicate the progress of some important move ment which will only be announced when the operations are concluded, The Austrian and German reports show that General von Bothmer is still holding on in the region of Tarn- opel although the two wings of the Russian advance are 40 miles beyond Tarnopol, which seems to show that Yon Rathmer feels secure in his line of retreat. Heavy fighting continues on Stockhod line and northwest of Iiueczacz.
 The Cologne Gazette foreshadows the introduction in September of a butter and fat card throughout t he empire, providing for three ounces a head each week and probably an egg card, entitling the holder to two eggs a week.

No 0peration-No Danger-No Pain.
Successful, Scientific Remedy
For Home Treatment

Operations are not necessary for
gall-stones. no matter how often you
have been told that was the only way
out, nor by whom. They may be
necessary in some peculiar instances,
but that isn't any reason why you
should be cut up. The operation Is
serious, painful and dangerous. Why
run the risk IL you don't have to?
Lohmann's Gallstona has brought
results in many, many cases, as at
tested in numerous letters from grate-
full former sufferers. 1t is designed
to not merely remove, the gall-stones;
but to correct the kidney, liver and
bowel conditions that cause their
formation. No operation can do this;
You'll have to risk your life and
many, many dollars Il you submit to
an operation. wouldn't you, rather
risk Just one dollar for a package of
Lohmann's Gallstona? II 1t fails to
do for you what 1t has done for so
many then you will be justified in
going ahead. but you are not not iusti. sti.
or enduring your suffering longer
without trying this remarkable REM

NEWPORT URGES VIM.
PENN ROUTE CHANGED

CONTINUED From First Page1
Juniata Bridge along the west shore of
the Susquehanna river to Liverpool
and across the county to Millerstown.
From Millerstown the road runs west
through Juniata county. This route
eliminates Newport and by this road,
it would be necessary to travel 2S.5
miles to get from Newport to Dun
cannon. AIillerstown is five miles
from Newport so that Newport per-
sons desiring to use the originally
routed William Penn Highway would
have to go to that town first, then to
Liverpool and from there to Juniata
Bridge and Duncannon. This means q
distance of 2S.5 miles between the
two towns over the William Penn
Highway and that is why the resi-
dents of the busy borough of Newport
are deSirous of having the William
Penn Highway follow the Juniata
river from Duncannon and Juniata
Bridge to Newport. The distance over
this route between Newport and Dun
cannon is only 11.5 miles, consider
ably less than half of the other dis
tance. Many years ago. before the
days of the railroads, a road, known
as the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
turnpike, was constructed between
those two places. Through Perry
county, the TOdu lOllOWeu the east sue
of the Juniata river from Duncannon
to Newport and Millerstown. This
road continued in constant use until
1889 when the great flood of that year
washed away stretch between Steck-
ley's and Amity Hall. From that time
until now persons going from New
port to Duncannon by way of the old
river route must travel to Steckley's,
then by another road, go east to Mont
gomery's Ferry, along the Susquehan-
ma river and from there to Juniata
bridge and Duncannon. Newport
residents, however, have two other
routes to Duncannon but neither of
them could be considered good roads.
One is crowded with dangerous hills
and the other at times is almost i'm
passable. The one road crosses what
is known as Orebank Hill and is an
exceptionally bad stretch. The other
route, by way of New Bloomfield has
many hills and when a traveller
reaches New Bloomfield he is
one mile further from Duncannon
than he was when he left Newport.
By this route the distance between
the two towns is 1926 miles. Both of
these roads are on the west or New
port side of the Juniata river.
Unselfish in Desire
That Newport citizens are unselfish
in their desire to have the William
TeHn highway route cnaHSeO Is eNl-
denced by the fact that even though
the change should be brought about,
the road would not pass through
Newport, but on the opposite side of
the river from the town. What the
boosters want in the rebuilding of the
stretch washed away during the food
of 1889 so that they can pass again
between Steckley's and Amity Hall,
and this, it is said can be accomplished
with comparatively little expense.
Over the broken stretch, now they
say, there are numerous mountain
streams which could easily be taken
care of by culverts. The side of the
hill would furnish sufficient stone to
