General Korniloff, commander of the forces in Galicia, whose disaffection and desertions have wrought havec in the Russian morale, was the most insistent of tha militar: chisfs in calling for a free hand to check the refractory troops, declar ing that the death penalty was the only me:zns of eaving the arm Prior to the acquiescence of the gov- ernment Korniloff is reported to have taken the drastic step of having a di- vision of flesing cowards of the eleventh army shot to pleces by their faithful former brothers in arms Russians Continue to Retreat. Meanwhile. pending the tightening of the reins of repression, the Russian troops everywhers in Gallcla from the region around Tarnapol southward to the southwestern Bukowina border, are comtirming to give way, with relatively lttle fighting, before the German: and Austro-Hungarians. The im- portant towns of Buczacz, Tlumacs, Ottynie_and Délatyn have been cap- turned by the Teutonic allies, and the Russtans also have been driven from the Tartar pass in the Carpathians and their positions in the Kirlibaba sector, to the southeast Teutons to Bukowina.

Russians and Rumanian: In addition to breaching the German lines south of the Carpathians, the Russains and Rumanians made large captures of men and guns. To the Rumanians there came as a reward for their part Iy the concentrated attack more than a thousand prisoners, 33 guns, 17 machine guns and other war cquipment while the Russians for their part took approximately the same number of prisoners and_ 24 guns. In the north, around Krevo, the Germans have recaptured the greater part of the territory taken from them early in the week. Germany’s Vicious Thrust. Again the Germans have made a vi- cious thrust at the French line in the Alsne region of France and again they have paid dearly in men killed or wounded for a slight gain. The at- tack was delivered over a front of two miles, from Hurtebise to La Bouvelle, but only to the south of Ailles was the crown prince’s army able to pene- trato French first line trenches. In Champagne the French have captur- ed German trenches. Terrific Artillery Duel. Over a forty mile front from the coast in Flanders to the River Lys the terrific artillery duel between the British and Germans continues, but as vet mo attempt has been made by either side to throw the infantry into the fighting. The Germans are said to be suffering from “nerves” and are raining shells on every point along the British front where movements outside the usual routine are observ- ed.

SERIOUS RACE RIOT FRENCH MAILS FREE RESULTS IN TWO DEATHS Several Hundred Whites Invaded Ne- gro District of Chester. Chestar, Pa., July 26—Two men. a| white man and a negro, were killed in rece riots which broke out anew here tonight after a day of compara- tive quiet. About twenty others were tnjured. Scores of persons were rested and the authorities announced at 10 o'clock they had the situation ‘well in hand. ‘The rioting, which started I ght a8 the result of the killing William McKinney, a_white man, by negroes, reached its climax tonight when a mob of several hundred whites invaded the negro section which skirts the Del- aware river. Negroes who ventured to rvetard their progress were beaten down with clubs and houses searched in the hope of dMcovering one of the suspects in the McKinney case. One of tonight's victims was Joseph McCann, white, 28 vears of age, who is said to have been a leader of the mob. When he fell mortally wounded, the invading whites were augmented by hundreds of onlookers. Several ne- groes were dragged from street cars and beaten into insensibility. One was fatally shot. Scores of shots were fired by the nearoes from the winfows of their homes and several white men and boys were injured. after McCann was killed, a squad of national guardsmen were rushed to the scene. Augmented by the local force and a large squad of state police, they drove the rioters from the oolored section with drawn revolvers and pointed rifles, The negroes’ section was roped off after quiet was restored and a heavy guard thrown around it. Mayor Mc- Dowell announced at midnight that he had the situation under control. The streets were ocleared of loiterers and white men were forbidden to enter the colored districts. McKinney was stabbed to death at the doorstep of his home after an al- tercation with four negros two men and two women. According to the police, McKinney accidently brushed against one of the negro womgn ac he was walking home and she is said to have made several insnlting remarks to which McKinney replied. The four n are then alleged to have set upon the young man and stabbed him to_death. Several suspects were arrested in comnection with the case yesterday and held without bail for court. Anoth- er squad of state police was sent here tonight at the request of Mayor Mc- Dowell.

American Training Camp in_France, July 26—(By the Associated Press)— The French government has extended to the American soldier free use of the French mails, so, if similar arrange- ments are made in_America, the mem- bers of the United States expeditionary force can send letters or post cards home without any charge whatever. If it is desired, there is no doubt that similar postal arrangements can be made with Great Britain, for such rec- iprocity exists between Great Britain and France already. The soldiers rejoiced today over the arrival of a large consignment of to- bacco from America. French ciga- rettes, cigars and smoking tobacco have not appealed strongly to the American soldiers and there was a temporary shortage of the familiar brands from home. Y. M. C. A. headquarters have been established near the base and it is ex- Pectd that the work of this organiza- tion will be expedited rapidly, the need of amusement for the men being al- ready markd.

Declares Alli Rus: London, July 26.—A little sroup of pacifists instituted a debate in the house of commons this afternoon by introducing a resolution declaring that the German reichstag resolution fa- voring peace by an understanding ex- pressed the principles for which Great Britain stood throughout, and caliing on the government, in conjunction with the allies, to re-state their peace terms accordingly. lution declares that the allies should accept the Russian proposal that the forthcoming allied conference on the ‘war aims should comprise represen- tatives of the people and not solely spokesmen of the government. The resolution was moved by James Famsay MacDonald, socialist and la- bor member for Leicester, and was supported by Charles = P. Trevelyan, Liberal, Hastings B. Lees-Smith, Lib- eral, Philip Snowden, socialist, and Arthur A. Ponsonby, liberty Mr. MeDonald agreed that his res- olution expressed the opinion of oniy a small minority, but he contended that this minority was ever growing. Stockholm had borne its fruit, the ailied conference would bear more, and the International conference would bear still more fruit. Such a confer- ence would find out that the time had come for an active effort for peace and it would find a peace that would not be disturbed by preparations for war. Charles P. Trecelyan, who seconded the resolution, agreed in_condemning the uncertainty in the speech of the German chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, and said that they were all agreed that peace awaited the restoration of Bel- Fium and France, without any econo- mic_or other conditions. He also doubted whether there could be peace until all the governments clearly and expressly repudiated the idea of con- quest or annexations. While jt mishit be the duty of the government to re- ply to the German chancellor, it was the duty of the house of commons_to reply to the reichstag resolution. Dr. Michaells' speech was made on that resolution and the fact- that he did not speak against it or try to persuade the reichstdg from passing it ought ot to be overlooked. The house of commons, after em- ploying the whole evening session in a discussion of the peace resolution, moved by James Ramsay MacDonald, soclalist, and labor member, defeated it'by a vote of 14§ to 1. The an- nouncement of the figures was receiv- ed with some cheers and much laugh- ter. The smallness of the numbers in the house when division was taken in an indication of the little interest shown by parliament in any hope of a useful peace movement at the pres- ent juncture, and the conviction was voiced in an important statement by Herbert H. Asquith, the former r. mier, that nothing was to be hoped from the present temper of the Ger- man reichstag and people. The speech of Andrew Bonar Law, the government leader in the house, dealt largely with the Russian cr He said that all the nations enzaged were staggering under tife blow, but that the resources of the allies were sufficient to make it absolutely cer- tain that unless their hearts failed them, they must secure the results for which they entered the war. The struggle had reached a point where it was a question of stayinz pat and in this matter he had absolute confidence in_the allies. Philip Snowden, socialist, said the debate disclosed that the British gov- ernment, more than any other bel- ligerent, was standing in the wav of an early settlement. He protested against more blood being shed to re- store Alsace-Lorraine to France RUSSIAN REVOLUTION BEING ENDANGERED Poisonous Seeds of Counter Revolution May Come Into Full Bloom.

Pittsbursh, Pa., July 26—Amid the cheers of thousands of visitors gath- ered here for the international con- vention of the Loyal Order of Moose, Former President Theodore Roosevelt today declared the continuation of universal military training in the TUnited States after the war is the na- tion’s only security agalnst a repeti- tion of unpreparedness such as has handicapped the country in the pres- ent crisis and which, he said, amount acle of national inefficiency to “a mi The former executive assailed the theory that the war can be financed s tax on incomes and and _ progresstve While a rea- by a tremendo declared for heavy taxes on excess profits. sonable profit should be given on gov- ernment war contracts he said “no man in America has a right to be- come tremendousls wealthy as a re- sult of this war.” Pawnbroker Patriotism. “We are in a_war and our first bus- iness is to fight” said Mr. Roose- velt. “Only a few months azo 1 heard people sav they would give money, potatoes and other things but would let someone else fight for them.

In_another brief address earlier in the day Mr. Rooseveit said all his kin who were eligible had “lined up” for military service and that “it isn't my fault that I'm not over there now.” A war rellef fund of $550,000 was voted today by the convention. It will be raised through a membership assessment of one dollar per capita. * A monster parade tonight in which Mr. Roosevelt appeared was the clos. ing feature of the day's programme. Prepare for_the nextmusians! 3 introducing the principle of universal military training for young men in time of peace and miversal service in time of war for vvery man and women in the country, was the admonition delivered by The- odore Roosevelt in an address he de- livered here tonight before the con- vention of the Loval Order of Moose. As compared to the other great na- tions of the world, he declared, Ameri- cans had in this war exhibited them- selves a miracle of inefficiency. As- serting that the United States govern- ment announces that the measures of preparedness now in progress are tem- porary and will be stopped as soon as the emergency is over, Colonel Roose- velt characterized this as a “criminal refusal to provide for the future. What America Lack: He summed up what America had zccomplished since the declaration of a state of war with Germany by saying that the United States did not now have a single airplane fit to send across the German lines and that months must pass before one could be manufactured, that America had no heavy artillery to put in the battle line 4nd that Major General Pershing and his soldiers would have to trust to French and English guns. American submarine chasers operating with the British fleet constituted, he said, only a tiny fraction of the English force. It would be a vear after the declara tion of war before Amerlca would have a fair number of big cargo ships. Short in Equipment. “Te have not enough rifles for our men,” said Colonel Roosevelt. “We are painfully short in equipment.

This is the sum total of the activities of a nation of 100,000,000 people, and in possession of incalculable wealth and houndless resdurces, during the six months following its entry (after two and one-half vears' warning) Into the greatest war in history. Miracle of Inefficiency. “The simple truth is that, relatively to the other great nations of the world, We have in this war exhibited ourselves a miracle of inefficiency: and we shall slways be inefficient during the first vital months of any war until we learn to prepare in advance. No Permanent Policy. “Tt is this utter unpreparedness which should convey the real lesson to s of this war. And remember that as yet we as a people. acting through our governmental authorities, have not iaken one step to avert disaster in the future by introducing a permanent policy of preparedness. The measures under which we are now acting are temporary _makeshifts, announced to te such. We have been caught utterly anprepared in a terrible emergency be- cause we did nothing until the emer- gency actually arose, and now our sovernment announces that what we are doing is purely temporary, that we shall stop doing it as soon as the emergency is over, and will then re- main_equally unprepared for the next emergency. Make Ready in Advance. “It is this blind refusal—from the pation’s standpoint I can only call it the criminal refusal—to provide for the future that forces every honest and far-sighted lover of America to speak.
