British Land More Troops. London, Aug. 19, 3:34 p. m.—Addi- tional troops have been landed by the British at Sulva Bay, Gallipoli Penin- sula. This announcement was made *here officially this.afternoon. The war office admits that after heavy fighting, in which no satisfac- tory progress was made the British advance was halted. lLosses on both sides were very large. Text of Statement. The text of the statement follows: “The recent operations on the Gal- lipoli Peninsula consisted of attacks on the enemy’s position along the south- ern and Anzac lines and included the fresh landing of a strong force at Suvla bay. “There is evidence from prisoners’ statements that the Turks had been considerably reinforced, with a view to heavy attacks on us, and that ours forestalled the enemy’s by about twen- ty-four hours. Consequently the fight- ing was very severe and on both sides 7 the casualties were very high. Landing Well Planned. “The landing at Suvla bay was well planned and carried out by the navy, but in spite of the fact that the Turks developed their greatest strength in the Anzac region our troops from Suvla could not make very satisfac- Wpry progress before the enemy was ‘able to move up considerable forces from his reserves and bring our fur- ther advance at this point to a stand- still. “Within the past week the positions won have been consolidated at all points. The spirit of the troops is _ excellent.” Another German Advance. Berlin, Aug. 19, via London, 38:42 p. m.—A further advance of the pres- ent German army which is attempting to capture the important Russian fort- ress of Brest-Litovsk was announced here officially today.

Announcement also was made of the capture of two forts north of Novo- georgievsk, which has been invested by the Germans for several days. In tak- ing these farts 1,000 prisoners and 125 cannon were captured. North of Bielsk German troops have reached the railway from Bialystok! to ‘Brest-Litovsk, it is declared. Kovno Victory Not Completed. London, Aug. 19, 12:10 p, Rusian reports do not concede the total loss of Kovno, asserting the Germans have captured only the for- tifications on the left bank of the Niemen while positions on the right bank are still held by the defenders *Bouth of. the Bug the Germans are now before Brest-Litovsk, which isg Russia’s greatest military station and a railroad center of much importance. Novogeorgievsk, which has been in- vested for the last ten days, is in imminent danger, as the Germans are making constant progress, Reports from both sides indicate ghat a desperate battle may now bo under way along a line parallel to the Bialystok-Brest-Litovsk railroad.

French Official Report. Paris, Aug. 19, 2:35 p. m.—The French war office this afternoon gave out a statement on the progress of hostilities: “There was much activity last night on the Artois front. Several counter attacks on the part of the enemy ‘Wwere repulsed. “To the north of Carleul we were successful in repulsing certain at- tacks made with hand grenades and bombs.” DID GURTIS BLUNDER IN HAKING PHOTOS? (Continued From First Page.) he or the mapor did it, but that they were together and talked the matter over and decided that the change was of no importance and consequently it was made. The mayor and city clerk today in my presence agree as to this fact, ““My main contention is that the principle involved is very important, though this present act is nof. If one or the other of these officials or their successors were allowed to act on their own volition or ideas it might at sometime result in serious compli- cations. It is a dangerous precedent to be established and is not known to be allowed in any city or state. “If measures can be made, so can insertions and the power of the coun- cil would be completely nullified and they might as well be discharged from their onerous duties. The city or town clerk has just as much right to change mortgages or other public documents sent to be placed on record as he or the mayor has to alter the city documents. I belleve that any reasonable person conversant with business methods will agree with me on the stand I take on this matter, ‘“Personal feeling or politics should not enter into this at all, ARABIC SONK BY GERMAN SUBMARINE (Continued From First Page.) , crew have been saved, according to a cable despatch recelved here at 2:30 p. m., by the White Star Line. The despatch follows: ‘“The Arabic sailed Wednesday afternoon with cargo and mails and 176 passengers and was sunk by German submarine at 9:16 o'clock this morning off the south coast of Ireland. Hopeful that all pas- sengers and crew have been saved as fifteen boat loads were rescued.” Secretary Lansing said he had no comment to make and would have none until after all details had been received. He assumed American consuls would send reports and the state department was not ordering. Consul Reports Disaster, Washington, Aug. 19, 3 p. m., a despatch was rcceived from Consul Thompson at Queenstown saying: ““Arabjc sunk at 9:15 this morning fifty miles from Queenstown, Sunlk in eleven minutes. Eleven boats be-' ing brought here."” Left New York July 28, New York, Aug. 19.—The Arabic, one of the few large White Star ves- sels remaining in the trans-Atlantic service, sailed on her last outward voyage from this port on July 28 last, She had aboard 188 passengers and approximately 16,000 tons of cargo, almost all of which was war supplies. Aeroplanes and automobiles formed the chief portion of the cargo. Attack by a German submarine ap- parently was feared when the vessel steamed away from New York, for around her steering gear there were piled numerous sand bags as a pro- tection against gunfire, This, also, was taken as an indication that in case she were sighted by a U-boat, the big liner intended to take a chance at get- ting away, trusting to her speed. Crew of About 260- The crew usually consisted of abeut 260 men, It was assumed today that she had this number aboard when she left Liverpool yesterday, All the crew, it was said, were of foreign cit- izenship.

Dynamite Found On Ship, Two sticks of dynamite were dis- covered on board the liner on July 27, the night before she sailed from New York for Liverpool. Once before since the beginning of the war the Arabic had a close call. On March 27 a cable message report- ed that the steamer had been pursued by a German submarine in the Irish Sea.

Y.—Dr. Von Beth- mann-Hollweg, the German imperial chancellor, in a speech today at the opening of the Reichstag, after a re- cess since May 30, retraced the history of the European events leading up to the present war. He unveiled what he said were attempts mad by the ene- mies of Germany to concal the whole truth from the nations at large and from their own people. This he said, was proved by the incompleteness of the information given by the diploma- tists of the entente allied countries to their own parliament, and he said it showed that up to the present the complete truth was hidden and forbid- den in the entente allied countries. The chancellor added: “I never have concealed anything from the represen- tatives of the German nation. I never had anything to conceal.” Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg further discussed Poland’'s future and an- nounced that the previous German and Polish antagonism had been abol- ished. He said “The present occupa- tion of Poland is the beginning of an evolution which will lead that coun- try, freed from the Russian yoke, tow- ards a brighter future and enable it to develop and cultivate its individual and national character.” ae NO ANSWER FROM CARRANZA. Washington, Aug. 19.—General Carranza notified Eliseo Arredendo, his Washington agent, today that the f?unu\merican appeal addressed o 1tm had been turned over to the de- partment of foreign relations of his government.

Frank. This conference was to be the first actual step on the part of the state officials to place the blame for the hanging. All three members the prison commission were at Milledgeville, where the Georgia prison farm is lo- cated, on Monday night last, when Frank was abducted. Chairman R. E. Davison has said he believes none of the officers at the farm are to blame for the loss of the prisoner, declaring the mob was so well organized that they were powerless. May Offer $500 Reward. Under Georgia law the governor can offer a maximum reward of $500 for st and conviction. “I probably will do this,” said the governor. ‘“The abduction of the state’s ward and his subsequent lynch- ing will be fully inquired into.” Governor Harris also announced that he expected to issue a statement some time today on the lynching. He said he had received many letters and telegrams from outside the state ask- ing what action would be taken by the state and urging that a complete investigation be made. Acting Mayor’s Statement. 1. N. Ragsdale, acting mayor of At- lanta, has made the following state- ment: “The daily and weekly press of Georgia is practically unanimous in condemning mob law and urging the governor to take action in the Frank case at once. He is investigating now and will probably offer a reward that will bring the guilty parties to justice. ‘While a large percentage of our peo- ple believed Frank guilty, yet they are law abiding and heartily disapprove the action of the mob.” As only $2,500 is available in the state treasury for rewards, Governor- Harris said he would probably offer the maximum of $500 for the arrest and conviction of five members of the mob. The legislature each year ap- propriates $3,000 to be used for re- wards. Five hundred dollars of the fund has been used this yead. Body at New York. New York, Aug. 19.—The body of Leo M. Frank arrived here early to- day on board i Pennsylvania railroad train More than a zcore of detec- ives and policeman were on hand to guard against any demonstration but few persons were gathered at the station Mrs. Frank who ac- companied the body of her husband on the trip from Atlanta was greeted at the station by her sister, Mrs, Otto Stern, and othcrs of K's rela- tives, Frank’s body was taken to an un- dertaker's establishment in Brooklyn a few blocks from the home of his father, Rudolph Frank.

Only a few persons witnessed the greeting between the two women, and it was more than an hour later when the presence of mov- ing picture machines in front of the house caused a crowd to gather Funeral Tomorrow. A close friend of the family sald that the funeral would not take place until tomorrow. ———— e TOO LATE FOR CLASSIFICATION. of FOR SALE—Buick Car, late model 10 in good running order, a bargain for someone, Hart's Garage, 189 Main street. 8-19-3d -_—m WANTED—Wall map of New Britain before 1885.
