A Dismal Room.

An eccentric character died in London
few years ago at the age of ninety
one. Long before his death he ordered
his own coffin and had 1t placed in his
bedroom, which was hung, by way of
pictures, with the funeral cards of his
friends. This preparation seems to
have had the effect of longevity on the
old man, for In spite Of his grewsome
foresight he lived long beyond the
usual span.

German Apology
For Bomb Plot
Sent to Norway
Trunks Were Not Exam
ined Before They Were
Shipped, Says Berlin

London. July IA Copenhagen dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany says it is reported officially at
Christiania that Germany has ex-
pressed regret to Norway for the acts
of Germans in connection with the
bomb plot recently discovered. The
German reply to the Norwegian note
gives a long explanation of the case
and says the German Minister at
Christiania has been directed to tender
an apology, and that Aron Rautenfels,
a German courier in whose possession
explosives were found, has been dis
missed.
The German government, the note
says, has made a thorough investiga-
ton, in consequence of which it finds
that the trunks containing the bombs
and other explosives, which were sent
from Germany to Christania, were for
warded some months ago from CEN
trial military depot to the chief officer
of the German Foreign Office, with the
request that they be shipped to Chris
tiania in the care of a courier. The
Foreign Office, as was customary, did
not examine the trunks, being under
the impression that they did not con-
tain anything the forwarding Of which
was not permitted by international law.
The military authorities at the depot,
the note continues, state that IN order
to carry on warlike operations on
enemy territory they did not hesitate
TO permit the passage of explosives
through Norwegian territory. As far
as the military officers were concerned,
such passage was not prohibited by the
Norwegian authorities, but they did
not wish TO say whether or not a
courier's passport should have been
used for the purpose.
The German government strongly
disapproved the proceeding of the mill
tary authorities, whose action, it says,
can be justified in no way, and the
German government instituted an in
quiry into the conduct of the persons
responsible. In future all trunks OF
will be examined by the For
eign Office.
The German government emphasizes
that neither Rautenfels nor any other
German functionary had authority to
use bombs on Norwegian territory or
against Norwegian interests. The note
ends with renewed apologies and an eX-
preston of the hope that the bomb plot
will not affect the good relations be-
tween the two governments.

King and Queen
Visit British Front;
Praise the Troops
Allies Well On Way to Compile
ton of Task, Says Special
Order to Armies.

London. July 1.-THE King returned
to-day from his fourth visit to the
front. On this occasion he was accom-
panied for the first time by the Queen
He issued a special order TO the armies
in the field, saying:
leave you with feelings of ad-
miration and gratitude for past
achievements and with confidence in
your future efforts. On all sides
have witnessed scenes of your
triumphs. The battlefelds OF the
Somme, the Ancre, Arras, Vimy and
Messincs have shown me what great
results can be attained by the cour-
age and devotion Of all arms and
services under efficient commanders
and stats.
II was a great pleasure for the
Queen TO accompany me and become
personally acquainted with the eX-
cellent arrangements for the care OF
sick and wounded, whose welfare
are ever close 70 her heart. For the
past three years the armies Of the
Empire and the workers in the home
lands behind them have risen SUI
peror to every difficulty and every
trial. The splendid successes al
ready gained in concert with our gall
liant allies have advanced us well on
the way toward the completion OF
the task We undertook.
There are doubtless fierce strug-
giles still 20 come and heavy strains
Of our endurance 20 be borne. But
be the road before US long or short
the spirit and pluck which have
brought you so far will never fail,
and under Gods guidance final and
complete victory in our just cause
is assured.
The Court Circular announces that
the King and Queen were accompanied
by the Prince OF Wales in France and
Belgium for fortnight. The King and
Prince Of Wales visited all the army
and the lines of communication; the
Queen a number OF hospitals and in.
stitutions in the lines OF communities
tion areas.
King George and Queen Mary also
visited the King and Queen Of the
Belgians. They were entertained al
luncheon by the President Of France.

Kornilof's Armies Con-
tinue Advance Through
Gap in East Galicia
Drive Now Centred
On City of Dolina
German Attempts to Break
Hold North of Lomnica
River Fail

London, July 14.-The Russian armies
continue their advance through the gap
thew have opened between the enemy
armies in East Galicia, but more slow
". The official report from Petrograd
TODAY announces the capture of NO
yica, a village southwest of Kalusz and
several miles south Of the Lomnica
River.
The Germans have brought up
strong reinforcements and are pre-
pared to dispute further progress OF
Korniloff's troops on the north bank OF
this strategically important stream
Two determined counter attacks were
delivered on the Russian positions
around Kalusz yesterday, but they
were promptly thrown back. The leu
ton forces debouched from Mosciska,
on the south bank of the Siwka River
showing that the enemy has been
forced north to that stream and mas
established his bases there.
Russians Hold Gains
II is not probable that kornlloh VIII
he driven back scross the Lomnlca. lie
now holds the north bank of the stream
clear from Kalusz to its confluence
with the Dniester. a distance of nearly
twenty miles, and in addition has
crossed the Dniester beyond Halicz and
occupied the line of heights whlch
springs UP there and runs along the
north bank of the Lomnica to Baoin'
nbout two-thirds of the way to kaiusz'
This is the defence line on which the
saemv expected to stand. 1t was re-
inouished by q broken and democrat
lied army and is now held by VIC
torious troops, who have advanced over
broken country at 4 remarkable rate
Though heavy rains interfered WIN
onerations Yesterday, there is as yet
no indication that the Russian sweep
has been stemmed.
Kornilof's progress is now IN me
direction of Dolina, some distance 10
the west, and. though several streams
lie ahead of him, waterways have not
thus far interfered with his drive.
Berlin describes the fighting as local
collisions" but Novica was stormed
only after a stiff battle.
Brusiloff Massing Forces
Elsewhere on the Russo-Gahclan
front no change Of position is reported,
and il is believed here that BruslIoh
has paused to mass his forces for new
onerations. The artillery duel is still
intense around Brzezany, and 1t Is pos
sible that an effort may be made to
crush in the upper side Of the salient
created by the thrust Of kornlloh's
wedge.
Far in the north, around Dvinsk and
Sorgon, lively fighting activity is re-
corded by Berlin, but this may be only
for the purpose of immobilizing the
enenv's forces in these sectors or an,
ticipsting a counter thrust. Petrograd
announces that a squadron OF Russian
Ajers visited Parmont, near Dvinsk' ana
dronped a quantity of bombs.
Reports from the Teuton capitals
Yesterday suggested the approach OF
heavy engagements along the Ku-
rosnian front, south Of the Carpathisns,
and il is known that the Kumanian
army is again in shape to strike, but
the expected operations IN that region
have not vet developed.
