Berlin, Aug. 2 tDAY Front Of Crown
Prince Rupprecht: On the battlefield in
Flanders the heavy artillery duels did not re-
commence until the afternoon. From LANCE
rnarck to the Lys the enemy directed a drum
fire against our line. which lasted several
hours before he delivered new strong at
tacks against this front. In the evening
heavy fighting again developed in which the
divisions led into our fire by the enemy were
repused everywhere, while frequently our
battle lines were moved forward during sue
cessful counter attacks.
At no point did the enemy gain any
advantages. On the contrary. he suffered
heavy losses owing 10 our unweakened de-
fensive FIRE, In addition 10 several hundred
prisoners, which we captured during counter
attacks at points where the enemy had
broken into our lines.

London, Aug. "A general reorgani-
cation of the Russian army commands
on the fronts from the Baltic Sea to
the Rumanan border has been Ell
fected, according to dispatches from
Petrogrsd
General Alexis A. Brusiloff, hero OF
last summers offensive and the great
est soldier produced by Russia with
the possible exception of the Grand
Duke Nicholas. has resigned the chief
command of the armies, despite the
Meas of Premier Kersensky. He has
been succeeded by L. G. Korniloff, who
with NJ. Kerensky developed the fight
ing powers of the Seventh Army and
conducted the temporarily successful
offensive from Stanislau toward Lem
berg.
simultaneously IL is announced that
General Radko Dimitrieff, commander
Of the Russian troops on the Riga
5,ont, has resigned the command OF
he Twelfth army and will be sue
ceeded by General Parsky.
General Dimitrieff is Bulgarian
known in his native land as "Bulgaria's
Little Napoleon" He had commanded
the Bulgarian army with great success
in the latter part Of the First Balkan
War, but on the outbreak Of hostilities
In the Great War resigned as Bulgarian
Minister in Petrograd and. offered his
services to Russia, which gladly ac-
cepted them. In April he was made
commander on the Riga front.
General Tcheremisof, commander OF
the 9Th Army, will succeed General
Korniloff on the southwestern front.
The Petrograd correspondent of "The
Morning Post" gives a different version
Of the army reconstruction following
General Brusiloff's resignation. He says
that the Russian Army commanders re

ers and virtually sent an ultimatum 70
Premier Kerensky, who has returned
to Petrograd, demanding that the army
be kept outside of politics and treated
merely as a fighting machine. A threat
of wholesale resignation is said to have
accompanied the demands.
Order Being Restored

Gated by recent official communica-

Civilian Commissioner Gobecha, one

Iordon Aug. 2 (DAY).-A heavy IN
cessant rain has fallen throughout the iSS'
forty-eight hours.
In the neighborhood Of the Ypres-Rouler
railway. where the enemy yesterday after-
Noon had succeeded at great cost in gaining
a foothold in our advance positions our
counter attack launched late in the evening
drove back the German infantry at all points
and completely re-estsblshed our former
lines. On the remainder of the Ypres battle
front there was no change.
On the right of the British line, southeast
Of Hargicourt, our troops successfully raided
the enerys position and secured prisoners.
l. (NIGHTj.- in the course OF the morning
and again this afternoon the enemy made
series of violent but unsuccessful attempts TO
recover the ground lost by him northeast Of
Ypres.
Regardless of the increasing severity Of his
losses. strong bodies Of troops repeatedly
attacked our position from the Ypres-Roulers
Railway TO ST. Julien. In every case his
advancing lines were broken up and dispersed
by our artillery barrage or repealed by the
steady fire Of our infantry.
Parties of our troops raided enemy
trenches last night northeast Of Gouzeaucourt
and inflicted many casualties.
FRENCH
Paris, Aug. 2 (DAY).-In Belgium the
bad weather continues. There was great
artillery activity from east of Braye-en-
Laonnois to west Of Craonne. In the region
of Allemant, in the course of local opera
ton. we took twenty-four prisoners and one
machine gun. To the east and southeast of
Rheims the enemy attempted two surprise
attacks without result
On the left bank Of the Mouse there was
violent artillery action. and toward o'clock
in the evening the Germans renewed their at
tacks but without result, in the sector Of
Avocourt Wood Enemy surprise attacks in
the same region occurred also in the Apre-
ment Forest, southeast Of st. Mihiel. but
these utterly failed.

assails the constitutionality OF the pro-

also insists that the court should have

and not unless they believed that he

He also requested the court to In
struct the jury that they could not
convict him Il they believed the
was transporting the alcohol for the
purpose of manufacturing other forms
OF ardent spirits out OF it. or for any

Several prohibition cases of much
interest will be argued before the vir-
ginia supreme court of appeals at it's
present term. The Aost important
case Is that of Lucchesi VS. Common
wealth which WIS tried last March In
the hastings court of the city of Rich
mond. In that case, the accused was
convicted by the jury and his punish
ment fixed at Imprisonment in Jail for
one month and fine OF 5000. From
the judgment of the trial court Luc-
chest Obtained writ of error from
the court Of appeals and the case will
be heard by that court on a mum Der
of assignments OF error.
Perhaps the most interesting and
important question raised by this case
is the right of police officers to search
and seize without search warrant
the person and personal baggage OF a
person under arrest 1t is the conten-
ton OF Lucchesi that the twelve quarts
of whiskey found in his suit case by
the police when they searched him
could not be introduced in evidence
against him.
The constitutionaiity OF the prohibit
tion act is also attacked upon a mum
Der of grounds. one of the conteu.
tons being that the constitution of
Virginia only permits the legislature
to legislate agairs st the manufacture
and sale of ardent spirits, and not
against the transportation thereof.
Another question raised Is that the
only transportation prohibited by the
act or that could be legally prohibit
ed under the title of the act. is the
transportation of ardent spirits for sale,
while II is the conte ntion of the COM
monwealth that the act Eenerallv pro-
hibits the transportation OF ardent
spirits into this state for any purposes
and that in order to he relieved from
the penalties imposed by the act. that
II was necessary for Lucchesl to show
that he came within an exception to
the general prohibitory clause of the
statute.
IT Is also contended by Lucchest that
the indictment should specify the
point from witch the ardent spirits
had been ira nsported and the point to
which they were destined. II was con-
tended that the act Is IN violation of
the fourteenth amendment OF the con-
stitution OF the United States because
II permits common carriers to trans
port ardent spirits into the state while
individuals are not permitted to act
as common carriers or to transport
more than one quart of ardent spirits.
which must be carried In the travel

Another Question raised In this case
by the petitioner. is that II was error
for the trial court TO tell the Jury that

spirits was found In his possession.
