Berlin, July 10.—(Via London.)=— The Germans have checked the Rus- sian forces which were advancing in Volhynia in the direction of Kovel, the war office announced today. The Russian troops moving toward the Stokhod line were yverywhere re- pulsed. The announcement says: “On the northern section of the front, apart from fruitless Russian at- tacks in the region of Skobowa, noth- ing of importance has occurred. “Army group of (Yeneral Von Lins- jngen: ‘Lhe enemy advancing to- ward the $tokhod line was repulsed everywhere.

Capture Woads.in Weste-sw. .. The capture of Trones wood, La Maisonette farm and the village of Barleux by German troops was an- report on operations along the west- ern front. The text of the statement regarding the western theater says: “On both sides of the Somme fighting continues; our troops repeat- edly repulsed thg enemy to his storm- ing positions, and, wherever as the result of his closely following waves of attack we temporarily .were forced to yield ground we quickly ejected him by counter attacks. “In the wood of Trones, for in- stance, which had been penetrated by the English, and the farm La Maison- ette and the village of Barleux, which had been stormed by the French, we reconquered and consolidated against the enemy. “At Ovillers there was unintefrupted hand-to-hand fighting, The Frengh obtained a lodgment n the village of Biaches. “Between Barloux and Belloy their oft-repéated attacks continually broke down with the greatest loss. Further west they were prevented by our bar- rage fire from leaving their trenches. “Between the sea and the Ancre, and also on the line of the Cham- pagne and east of the Meuse, artillery battles, were revived from time to time, Infantry encounters took place west of Warneton, east of Armen- tieres, in the region of Tahure (Cham- pagne), and on the western edge of the Argonne, where French detach- ments were repulsed. Near Hulluch, Givenchy and Vauquois, we caused successful mine explosions. “There was very lively aerial activ ity on both sides.

SLOAN TAKES LEADING PART (From a Staft Correspondent.) Washington, July 10.—(Special Tel- egram.)—Democrats are jubilant to- night over the passage of the so- called emérgency revenue measure, which is planned to raise an addition- al $200,000,000 of revenue to “take care;” as they say, “of the extraor- dinary necessities of the army and navy.” The bill creates a tariff com- mission, imposes a protective ta:flf on dyestuffs, repeals present stamp taxes and provides for new taxes on incomes, inheritances and war muni- tions profits. No Complete Bill Offered. This was ‘rpobably the first in- stance in a decade when democrats brought into the house a revenue bill with protection efatures written all over the face of the measure. The minority members of the ways and means committee “failed to counter with an outright tariff bill drawn along protection lines, including pro- visions for a tariff commission, tax o;:e munitions, on anti-dumping and § .lcnealfioim-stzmp L R Althotigh they had been = advised months ago that the democrats were considering an emergency revenue measure, the minority"members of the ways and means”committee too late, awoke to the realization that many republicans would vote for the bill in the absence of anything that repre- sented their own party platform or principles. Position of Nebraskans. This position led Representatives Sloan, Reavis and Kinkaid to vote for the measure. Mr. Sloan during the course of the consideration of the bill under the five-minute rule offered five amendments as previously' outlined in the bill -briefly explaining their pur- port which were as quickly voted down by thke majority. Reavis Gives Reasons. Representative Reavis in given his reasons for voting for the bill said that its features were strongly en- dorsed by his constituents, namely, a tax on munitions, the income tax, the tariff commission and the repeal of the stamp tax. “If the republicans had presented a measure as a substitute for the democratic bill contemplating this legislation I would have been found shoulder to shoulder with my repub- lican brothers, but the ways and means committee hadino substitute to offer, except a motion to recommit with instructions (for which I voted), and that being lost I voted for the bill.” 1 Kinkaid Votes for It. Judge Kinkaid was much in the same position as Representatives Sloan and Reavis, and after the repub- licans had exhausted all their rights and after they had sought to recom- mit the bill to the ways and means committee, “with instructions to amend the bill so as to raise an equit- able portion of the required revenue from a protective tariff,” Mr. Kin- kaid voted for the bill, as his constit- uency is in favor of a repeal of the stamp tax, a tax on munitions of war and For a tariff commission. Fordney’s Amendment. The amendment offered by Repre- ity member of the ways and means committee, sought to send the bill back to the committee with instruc- tions to “amend the bill so as to raise an equitable portion of the re- iff, sufficient to protect adequately American industries and Amerigan vent undue exactions by monopolies or trusts, paying patticular attention to the conditions inevitable at the close of the present European war, independence of the United States.” Ouégrowth of Conference.

July 10.—A new attack was launched in the Champagne by the French last night. The war office today announced the capture of trenches over a front of 500 meters. On the Somme front the French took a line of German positions in the neighborhood of Barleux, In this section 950 Germans were captured yesterday and last night. The Germans made attacks at three points simultaneously in the Vosges, but all their assaults were checked completely by the fire of French ma- chine guns. The Yrench attack in the Cham- pagne was made at a point west of Mesnil. The French troops charged three times. .On the Somme front, north of the river, the night passed quietly. In the Verdun sector artillery fire continued at Chattancourt, Fleury and La Laufee. The text of the communication says: “North of the river Somme, the night passed qaietly, ~ T “South of this river, our troops, continuing their progress during the night in the region of Barleux, cap- tured a line of German trenches sits uated between the village of Barleux and La Maisonnette. We took a total of 950 ablebodied prisopers in this sec~ tor yesterday and last night. “In_the Champagne district two surprise attacks by French troops re- sulted successfully. One was south- east and the other west of Tahure. _“West of Butte De Mesnil, we de- livered two_attacks upon a German trench we occupied and organized along a front of about 500 metess. Here we took ten prisoners. “In the Argonne, a French recon- noitering party penetrated a German trench near Four De Paris which it cleaned up with hand grenades. “North of Verdun, the bombard- ment has continued 1n the regions of Chattancourt, Fleury and La Lauffee. A strong patrol of the enemy has been dispersed with hand grenades north- west of Fleury. “In the Vosgps attacks were made against our positions in the region of Chapolette at three points simulane- ously. They were checked by the fire of our machine guns; found it impos- sible to secure a footing and were completely repulsed.” B Fourteen Babies Die of Paralysis in New York City New York, July 10.—~Rain and ceoler weather failed today to check materially the epidemic of infantile paralysis which since its inception two weeks ago has cldimed 238 lives in New York City. During the twenty- four hours which ended at 10 o’clock this morning fourteen deaths and 103 new cases were reported. Thirty of the new cases were in Manhattan, the largest number yet reported there in a single day. Will Close Ditches From North Platte To Grand Island Lincoln, Neb., July 10.—On account of low water in the Platte river, the state engineering department, which has charge of irrigation, has decided to shut off the water for irrigation purposes from North Platte to Grand Island. The river at these points has become so low as to threaten power plant service. As yet there is no in- terference in the Scotts Bluff region, the hig irrigation. district of Ne- braska.

VESSEL WITHOUT ARMS British and French Ambas. sadors Call Attention to Subsea’s Arrival. ASK FOR STATUS OF CRAFT Washington, July 10.—The British and French embassies today officially caljed the State department's atten- tion to the arrival of the German submanine Deutschland and asked that 'this government assure itself of the vessel's character. This will be done, it was announced, by the assignment of naval experts to assist the Treasury department, Vessel Without Arms, The fact that boarding officers found the German merchant submar- ine Deutschland wholly unarmed goes far toward simplifying any question as to its status as a merchant ship in American waters. Officials realize, however, that the British an< French embassies, while interested little in what the Deutsch- land has brought over, are concerned over the cargo of rubber and nickel it proposes to carry back to German and expect that nothing will be left undone by Germany's enemies to pre- vent or hinder its clearance. . Althougl: the fact that the submer- sible is unarmed is of first importance, such factors as the composition of the crew and actual ownership will have.to be established to determine whether the submarine could be class- ed as a naval auxiliary. Running Blockade Important, Naval officers, while attracted by the great size of the submarine and its long voyage, consider the fact that it successfully ran the allied blockade, attracts them most. Some of them pointed out that if a successful means of running a blockade has been per- fected one of the most potent meas- ures of warfare had become a thing of the past. . Until the customs officials’ report is received, Acting Secretary Polk said today that no action was con- templated by the State department. Mr. Polk said that for the time being at least Cetails of inspection of the sul € - weres in -the jurisdic- tion of the Treasury department, aid- ed possibly by the Navy department. Alleged Villisca Axe Murderer in Jail at Red Oak Red Oak, Ia,, July 10.—Shériff O. E. Jackson and County Attorney O. T. Gillet arrived here at 11 o'clock this morning by automobile from Topeka, Kan., bringing with ‘them William Mansfield, suspected of murdering with an axe the Joe Moore family four years ago. ¢ Mansfield was placed in the Mont- gomery county jail, where he will re- main until given a hearing. At the hearing before Governor Capper in Topeka Saturday morning Mansfield attempted to prove that he was em- ployed in Illinois at the time of the Villisca murder, but evidence was pro- duced sufficient to convince the gov- ernor that the prisoner’s statements were at least conflicting, and the ex- tradition was granted. It had been generally supposed here that Mansfield would not be brought here and placed in jail, but that he would be spirited away to some other county. However, there seems to be no unusual feeling over his resence in Red Oak and it is thought Ee will be kept here until he is tried. The date of his preliminary hearing is not yet set. De Facto Soldiers Fire Upon American Sailors at Tampico San Antonig, Tex., July 10.—The withdrawal ungter sharp fire from Car- ranza soldiers of a party of American bluejackets that attempted to clear the river at Tampico of mines several days ago was published July 7 in El Diax of Monterey, a copy of which arrived here today. The published ac- count of the incident concluded what purports to be a copy ef the official report made by General E. P. Nafar- rate to General Trevino at Chihuahua, The report credited to Nafarrate follows: “Today two launches of the Ameri- can warships, lying at the entrance to the port, attempted to remove mines that I have placed at the bar, Since they did not obey the signals made to them to suspend their efforts, 1 ordered that a volley be fired at them. The crews of the launches re- tufned the fire, the exchange of shots continuing for fifteen minutes, The launches then retired. “From the movements of the American ships it appears they may be lafming to disembark forces, “F shall continue to mine the river, I shall appreciate the dispatch of dy- namite.” Two sailors from the Salem were killed by Carranza soldiers while en- tering the harbor with dispatches on Juné 27, according to a letter from Tampico, received here today, The Mexicans_are said to have fired on the American launch as it passed the jetties at the mouth of the river. The American naval commander is re- ported to have demanded an explana- tion from General Nafarrate by noon of that day. The explanation, according to the writer of the letter, was made, Its nature was not told, RUSSIAN ADVANCE in Bukowina and southeastern Gali- cia. Already beyond the important city of Kolomea they now threaten the army of General Count von Bothmer, who is defending Lemberg, the capital of Galicia. BANDITS HEAD FOR | BIG BEND DISTRICT Carranza Notifies Washington Band of Outlaws Moving Toward Boquillas, Tex. VILLA VISITS JIMENEZ Washington, July 1:0.—A second warning that Villa bandits are headed for the Big Bend district of Texas was given to the State department to- day by Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexi- can ambassador designate.

El Paso, Tex, fuly 10.—General Matias Ramos, nephew of General Ignacio Ramos, who was killed in the Tecent Corralitos fight, is pursuing the Villista band, under Calixto Contrer- as, into the mountains of Durango, according to a telegram received to- day by General Gonzales at Juarez. The message from General Trevino at Chihuahua City said the Villistas did not give battle at Las Nievas, as expected, but continued up the Rio Florido, Ramos has a force of 1,500 men. Villa Appears at Jimenez. Francisdo Villa appeared in Jimen- ez after its capture by bandits, ac- cording to La Democrata, a Car- ragzista organ published in Chihuahua City, a copy of which has been brought to EI Paso by travellers. This paper states that after annihi- lating the de facto force, under Gen- eral Ramos, at Corralitos, the Villis- tas entered Jimenez, sacked the place thoroughly, put to death "the Car- ranza officials and gave the .capturc_d soldiers their choice of joining their party or of having their right ears cropped. Calixto Contreras was then in command, the paper says, but later Villa entered the town in a carriage. He is pictured as having walked on crutches and as having seemed badly crippled in the legs. In this account the Villista force was estimated at 2,000 men. Asquith Explain—s Irish Home Rule Bill to Commons London, July 10.—Premier Asquith, in explaining the Irish agreement in the House of Commons this after- noon, said it was proposed that the bill should remain in force during the war and twelve months thereafter, and if Parliament had not made further provisions by that time for a govern- ment of Ireland the period could be extended, Representatives of the imperial ex-{ ecutive, the prime minister said, would have control of the defense of the realm act, Mr. Asquith said the new bill would CONtam geueral provisions reserving for the executive of the imperial Par- liament and government! not only the navy and the army, but all maiters arising out of the war, He emphasized there was no inten- tion on, the part of those who might be associawf with the government of Ireland to »ncroach in any way in re- gard toa successful prosecution of the war, “We have here,” the premier said, “an arrangement such as never was possible before,” and he anpealed to the house to take advant.ge of the opportunity, which might never recur, Nohody Seems to Want Sioux City Combination Bridge Sioux City, Ta,, July 10.—The com- bination bridge across the Missouri river here, for a second time, went begging for a buyer when it was placed on the auction block this aft- ernoon by F.

Bridgehampton, N. Y, July 10— Charles E. Hughes has decided to have the ceremony of his formal no- tification of his nomination for the presidency held in New York. It will take place on a Monday if possible: probably July 31, although perhaps a weck earlier. The nominee prefers having it in a large hall. Republican_and progressive leaders from every section of the country will be invited if the tentative pro- gram is adopted, and hundreds of other invitations will be issued to party workers in New York. Mr. Hughes wishes to have the general public admitted if any seats are available. Almost immediately after the notification the campaign will open with a four or five weeks' trip to the Pacific coast, broken by two weeks’ vacation in the Rock moun- tains, Returning, the nominee will open his eastern campaign in Maine, prior to the state election early in Septem- per. Not only will Mr. Hughes speak in Maine, but it is likely both Colonel Roosevelt and Former President Taft will be requested to take the stump there.
