Apparently the Austro-German at- tack had been centered on Galiclan district, where Brussiloff’s offensive opened last Sunday, and only last evening the German official report re- corded the Tesumption of heavy at- tacks by the Russians. There had been no mention in any of the official statement recently of any real especial activity on the line except in Galicia and the sectors im- mediately adjacent on north and south.

Petrograd, July T7.—Violent fight- ing has begun on the Russian front west of Pinsk. The city of Pinsk is in flames, according to an an- nouncement today by the semi-official news agency. The Russian artillery, the announcement says, is levelling all obstacles. The Russians have captured the fortified forest of Sianka with all the enemy’s organized positions, and also Hill 388. They have penetrated the + village of Godov. Further gains have been made by the Russlan forces in Galicia. Ad- vices from the front record the tak- ing of first line trenches by troops of the Eleventh army, who also at some points captured second line po- sitions. Say Russians Were Defeated. Berlin, July 7, Via London.—The war office announces the defeat of ‘Russian attacks near Koniuchy and further to the north, in eastern Galicia. Russian attacks in the Car- pathlans also were repulsed. The Russians are sald to have suffered British Advance in Belgium. London, July 7.—The British made an attack last night in Belgium east of Wytschaete. The war office an- nounces that the British line was ad- vanced slightly. Struggle on Aisne Front. Paris, July 7.—Heavy artillery fighting occurred last night near La Royere and Pantheon on the Aisne front, and in the region south of Moronvilliers, in the Champagne, ac- cording to today's official announce- ment. “L” GAR DROPS TO STREET Twenty-five Injured, 12 Seriously, in Collision of Passenger Train and Empty Cars in Brooklyn. New York, July 7.—Twenty-five persons were injured, 12 seriously, early today when a four-car train on the Broadway line in Brooklyn col- Mded with an empty train near Myrtle avenue. The first car of the passen- ger-filled train toppled off the track into the street below and was crushed while the second car was suspended from the elevated structure. The ac cident is said to bave been caused | the emp train switching on the ex- press track and not clearlng a switch in time to permit the other train to pass. ALVAREDO AT VERA CRUZ.

Delin- quent states probably will make it necessary to defer the first drawing till the middle of the coming week. The method to be followed in mak- ing selections has not yet been dis- closed by war department officials. The general outline of the plan, how- ever, is indicated by the emphasis laid on the serial numbering of the cards, coupled with Secretary Baker's an- nouncement that drawings will be held in Washington. It is understood that when a single number is taken from the jury wheel, the man in each district whose card bears that number will be drafted. As each number ig drawn approximately 30,000 men will be conscripted, or one from each exemption district. New York, July 7—Indications here today were that the draft exemption boards in New York city would be un- able to, meet the desire of Provost | Marshal Crowder that serial numbers be given to all coples of registration cards and that compilation of the lista ot those registered be completed - by tonight. It was said a majority of the boards would not organize before Monday and that the numbering of cards and the flling of iists would be delayed until Wednesday. Boston, July 7.—The work of copy- ing the registration cars for the draft in this state has been completed by the force of clerks in the office of Charles F. Gettemy, director of mili- tary enroliment for the state. BETHMANN SPEAKS MONDAY. | Important Developments Expected &t London, July 7.—The report that, political developments of exceptionalk importance are being awaited in Ber- 1in in connection with the session of the Reichstag now in progress is re- iterated in a Berlin despatch to Am- sterdam as forwarded by the Ex- change Telegraph. The despatch says Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg will de- liver his speech to the Reichstag on Monday, and that the addresses will be delivered on the same day by For- elgn Secretary Zimmermann vice chancellor Hellferich and Vice Admir- al Von Capelle, minister of the navy. The vote of credit will then be taken. SAYS WE GROW RUTHLESS Editor of Politiken Writes America Does Not Understand Position of Denmark and Other Neutrals, Copenhagen, July 7.—The Ekstra- bladet and the government organ, Politiken, commenting on the pro- posals to limit supplies to Scandinavia and Holland, complain that the en- tente powers, with America at the head, lack appreciation of the diffi- cult position of small neutrals and proposed measures of the great powers in the name of liberty, justice and civilization© are calculated to crush these small states whose sole desire is to maintain true neutrality toward both camps. Judging from these reports the situation is regarded =£s desperate. The Politiken says America seems to lack the most elementary apprecia- tion of Denmark’s difficulties. It says that articles from influential Ameri- can papers indicated the United States intends to force Denmark either to join Germany and starve or join the entente and share the fate of Belgium. The American policy, which from the outbreak of the war ‘was never neutral but English, the paper continuesfi now has become American, that is to say still more ruthless toward neutrals than was the English. All that Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Holland demand is permission to remain neutral and avoid starvation. Even this modest desire seems in danger of becoming illusory. 'TURKS T0 DEPORT GREEKS Ottoman Government Considers Breach in Relations Equivalent to Declarution of War by Athens, London, July 7. despatch —According received to press at Awster ed by the Exchange Telegraph, Tur- hey conside as equivalent to a dec- laration of war the action of Greece in breaking off diplomatic rclations. The Turkish government, the de- spatch sayvs, has decided to deport all Greeks and confiscate their property. | ball Sulvador | dam from Constantinople as forward- | | BAY ON WAY T0 PEKING Reach Lang Fang With English, French and Japanese FOREIGNERS IN NO DANGER Royal Forcign Minister Says Blame Will Be On Chi-Jui’s Shoulders— Disturbance Ensues in _ Capital City. London, July 7.—A despatch to the Post frfom Tien Tsin says that 800 Japanese, French, American and Brit- ish troops going to Peking to reinforce the legation guards, arrived at Lang Fang, which is not far from Peking, before the fighting between the im- perialists and republicans began. The general in charge of the re- publican forces urged them to with- draw terni miles to the rear owing to danger from the fighting. All with- drew except the two British officers and some telegraph operators. Later both belligerents agreed to allow en- glineers to repair the railway track at Lang Fang, which had been torn -up and permit the relief troops to con- tinue their journey A despatch from Peking to the Times says danger to foreigners at the capital is not feared. Advices to the Post from Tien Tsin are that the imperialist foreign min- ister Hsang Tun Yen, has notified the foreign legations that he cannot guar- | antee undisturbed order and if trou- ble occurs Tuan Chi-Jui, commander of the punitive expedition, will be re- sponsible. i According to a telegram to the Ex- change Telegraph from Tien Tsin fighting is occurring along the Peking- Mukden rallway -as well as between Pekin and Tien Tsin, and the repub- lcan troops thus far have the advan- tage. Other despatches from China do not confirm fighting although reports say it is imminent. WHY ARE THEY AFRAID? | Police Board Holds Another Secret Meeting and Clerk Forgets to Issuc Bulletin Ordered by Kaiser Quigley, New Britain division, Sons of Star Chamber Sessions, tgrmerly known, as the recently organized board of"police commiissioners, met last night for, ac- cording to the meagre reports given out, officially and otherwise, ‘‘discus- sion of plans for future progress.” The commissioners met behind closed doors and the sessions is believed to have been harmonious as police re- serves were not called and no echo of angry tones was heard on Main street.

Clerk McGrail has issued no bulle- tin, as yet, as far as post office author- ities and newspapermen can learn but said, over the telephone, the meeting was ‘“‘entirely « harmonious, nothing worthy of notice happened and the discussions were only connected with future plans.” Beyond this, he re- fused to make a statement. Commis- sioners and others in authority stated | Clerk McGrail was the one authorized to give out public statements. Clerk McGrail finally admitted nothing was done at the-session relative to im- portant changes in the department or department procedure. - POSSE CHASES SLACKERS Relatives of Refugces Threaten Sher- iffl. With Guns When He Attempts to Place Them Under Arrest. Huntington, July 7—U. S. Mar- shal William Osborn and a force of | deputies from Charleston today were on their way to Wayne county, this state, to-re-arrest Walter and Fred Adkins, brothers, who, several days ago, pleaded guilty to the charge of failing to register and later escaped from the county jail. They are in a barricaded log cabin in the mountain district of Wayne county.

IN SENATE'S HANDS To Drink, or Not fo Drink, That Is the Question SOME LIKE IT WET, SOME DRY Senate Votes, 44 to 39, to Reconsider Action of Yesterday in Deciding Not to Withdraw Hard Liquor From Bond. ‘Washington, July 7.—The battle over the prohibition 1ssue involved in the food control bill is being fought out in the senate again today, this time on the questton whether con= sumption as well as the manufacture of distilled liquor shall be prohibited during the war. The contest has narrowed down to this phase today, following the defeat of the bone dry amendment, which action makes it certain that all legis- in- toxicants will be limited to, distilled beverages. Y The senate today voted, 44 to 39, to reconsider its action yesterday in tentatively adding to prohibition leg- islation ‘proposed to the food control bill the amendment of Senator Cum- mins prohibiting withdrawal of dis- tilled beverages from bonded ware- houses. y Defeat of the “bone dry"” proposal last night insures that legislation pro- hibiting manufacture of intoxicants will be limited to distilled beverages. Whether: consumption, as well as manufacture, of distilled spirits’ shall cease during the war, a new- element injected into the contest at the eleventh hour, completely disrupted the leaders well laid plans and caused the recess for conferences on a com- promise. After roll calls showing a comsider- able majority against stopping ;men- ufacture of beer and wines or giving the president power to; suspend their manufacture, the senate voted to pro- hibit the importation of distilled bev= erages, and then by a vote of 46 to 40 tentatively adopted .a provision prohibiting withdrawal of distilled spirits now held in bond for beverage purposes. The question before the senate was the substitution of an amendment to the pending food bill prepared by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, framed to tdke the place of the com- mittee amendment which provides for:fthe forced discontinuance of ' the use of ‘“foods, food 'products and feeds” in the manufacture of distilled spirituous liquors and leaves-to the judgment «of the president the stop- ping ‘of ‘the use of such materials of malt, or spirituous liquors. The Rob- inson amendment read as follows: “Section 12. That from and after 30 days from the date of approval of this act no person shall use any food, fruits, food materials or feeds in the production of distilled liquors or spirits, except for governmental, ‘in- dustrial, manufacturing, scientific or medicinal purposes. “Any person who wilfully violates this section shall upon conviction thereof be punished by a fine of not exceeding $5,000 or by imprisonment for not more than two ‘years or both.” To.this amendment Senator Myers, Montana, offered an amendment pro- viding that malt and vinous liquors should be included in this legislative ban, ' This precipitated the test of strength on the bone dry question. For three hours the debate was earn- est and intense. Then came the test vote and the Myers amendment was defeated by a vote of 34 to 52 as follows: How They Voted. Ayes—Ashurst, Beckham, Gore, | Johnson (S. D.), Kendrick, McKellar, Mpyers, Shafroth, Shields, Thompson, Trammel, Vardaman and Wolcott, Democrats; Borah, Brady, Cummins, Curtis, Dillingham, Fernald, Gronna, Hale, Jones (Washington), Kellogg, Kenyon, McCumber, Nelson, Norris, Page, Poindexter, Sherman, Smith (Michigan), Smoot, Sterling. and Townsend, Republicans—34.

Stamford, July 7—With drawn re- volvers, police officers arrested four men in the public squares here today charged with robberies of stores in Bridgeport last night. The men were in an automobile which they had hired off Joseph Rich and were on the way to New York with their booty. The men gave these names: Henry Dellaca, Frank Sutton 24, of 321 Barnum ave- nue, and John F. Meeker, 24, of 284 Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport. The taxi driver is also detained for the pres- ent. Rich says that Dellaca came to his home early today and hired the car to take a party to New York. He picked up the other two men. Bridge- port officers have taken them back. Bridgeport, July 7.—Traced from Jennings woods, Fairfield, to Stam- ford and there arrested, the automo- bile party is alleged to have entered the clothing store of Frank Miller on Main street last night. Filling the machine with merchandise they pro- ceeded to the outlying .district of Fairfield, where a constable saw them trying on clothing. He telephoned to the Bridgeport police, giving the number of the machine. Detectives Barton and Holbrook were sent to Jennings woods but found only a sleeveless coat to indicate where they had been. The . detectives proceeded to Stamford and are bringing the men back here. Before breaking into Miller's store, an attempt was made by an automo- bile party to get into F. E. Nunnold’s place of business on Fairfield avenue and- also into the clothing store of Frank Jacoby on Broad street. AUSTRIAN EMPRESS REPORTED PRO-ALLY Said to Favor Withdrawal of Dual Monarchy From Pact With German Empire. London, July 7.—According to the Daily Express a personal friend of the Empress Zita of Austria has in- formed certain members of the house of commons that the empress is ex- erting herself strongly in the inter- ests of France. She is credited with sufficient influence over Emperor Charles to induce him to try to with- draw from the Austro-Hungarian al- lance with Germany as soon as Aus- tria- Hungary is enabled to take ac- tion. Zurich, July 7.—A despatch from Vienna says the German emperor and empress arrived in the Austrian capital yesterday ‘morning. They ‘were met at the station by Emperor Charles and Empress Zita. Rl § Amsterdam, July 7.—According to a telegram to the Dutch newspapers from Vienna, steps have been taken to grant a complete amnesty to Dr. Karl Marz and*Dr. Aloysius Raschin, the leaders of the Czech party in the Hungarian parliament, who have been serving sentences for treason. Both will be released but will not be allowed in, Vienna nor to attend the summer session of the Hungarian parliament. Also they are prohibited from living in Prague. SUBMARINE TORPEDOED French Submersible Sent to Bottom by German U-Boat in Mediterranean on June 19. Paris, July 7.—The submarine Ari- ane was torpedoed and sunk by a Ger- man U-boat in the Mediterranean June 19 according to an official an- nouncement of the ministry of ma- rine.

Washington, July 7.—All Germans formerly connected either with the German embassy or any one of the many consulates in America have been requested to leave the United States. Notification that thelr presence in America is undesirable bas been sent them by the state depertment. The Germans, who principally are clerks or servants, were not told that they were suspected of being spies. The inference that their loyalty to the German emperor might make it diffi- cult for them to remain in this coun- try without attempting to send infor- mation of a military character to their government was made clear. Among the first to go will be Hein- rich Schaafhausen, formerly attached to the German embassy but left be- hind by Count von Bernstorff and since attached to the department of German interest of the Swiss lega- tion. There are also many clerks and servants, at least they have served in such capacities in this country. There is ground for beliaf that some of them are persons of more importance to the German intelligence system. Dr. George Barthelme, the author of the much discussed despatch to the Cologne Gazette at the time diplo- matic relations were severed, still is in Washington. ) Although the bulk of the Austrian embassy staff departed with their am- bassadors two of Germany’s allies still have their representatives here. There are many indications that the government is taking steps to tighten the spy net. ‘When the government agreed to al- iow the transfer of many former Ger- man employes to the Swiss legation and consulates there was no state of war between the United States and Germany, but the declaration of the Squadron of 20 chines, Flying | Hurls Bombsg Crowded Thoro fares in Swift R4 THREE DOWNED @ RETURN JOUE Noise Caused By Exploding | and Anti, Aircraft Guns DA —Populace Taken By Si Soldiers Have Hard Task strain Curious—British A{rg cend For Pursuit.

END OF KAISERISM BY AUGUST IS SEEN Letter to Bavarian Soldier Predicts Revolution If War Is Con- tinued Next Month. Canadian Headquarters in France, via London, July 7.—Fosse the pit- head which overlooked our outposts in Avion, disappeared on Thursday in a cloud of dust after it had been a mark for our heavy guns, but wheth- er the disappearance was caused by our shells or the Germans themselves is not known. Much evidence of the lowering of German morale continues to be dis- covered in captured trenches and raided houses. A remarkable letter was found recently, which had been written to a Bavarian at the front three weeks ago. The letter says: “One can well understand that you are sick of this horrible business. I believe that the climax has Dbeen reached, for now one hears nothing but complaints. The German soclal democrats have announced that if a single shot is fired in August revo- lution will follow. The situation is no longer good. They are on the track of the German kaiser, too, and if it lasts much longer it will be the end of Prussia, for the Prussians and the English are the masters. These two alone are carrying on the war. The others are merely in their hands.” Canadian casualties have-. been very light during the past two weeks, and exceptionally so in the killed and missing classes. TRAIN HITS, AUTO PARTY.
