BY MACHINE GUNS SAYS PARIS REPORT: Day and Night Attack With Grenades at Souchez and in Vosges. SOISSONS BOMBARDED. French Show Signs of Expec- tation That War Will Last Another Winter. PARIS, Aug. %.—Around Soucher | and in the Vosges the Germans leat heavily in repeated attacks against the French trenches throughout yea- terday and last night. Every assault was repulsed, according to the offi- cial communique from the War Of- fice this afternoon, Attacks with grenades kept the Frenob infantry on the alert all day. In the Souchez region the Germans showered hand bombs in attempts to rush the Freneh positions, but were forced to fall back, their lines rid- died by machine gun fire, ‘The text of the War Office report is as follows: “Im Artols, in the vicinity of Bou- ches, there was apirited fighting dur- ing @ part of last night, in which Grenades and bombs were largely used.

MISSING BANKER IS DEFENDED BY WIFE; DENES HE'S GULTY She Is Ready to Forgive Him Unless He Fled With Girl, Also Missing. It ta believed that a miscarriage of Plans prevented the loss of more than $11,000 from the vaults of the Citizens’ National Bank of Englewood when Abram Cornelius jr, cashier, disap- peared. He could easily have taken $25,000 or $40,000, but for the presence of bank examiners, who lingered in the institution longer than was ex- pected. Another theory is that he planned to swell his cash by negotiating checks and drafts issued by himself as cashier of the bank. In view of that possibility, all correspondents of the hank have been notified not to honor euch paper. John Le the payin; teller, said Cornelius appeared nervous all day Wednesday. “He moved about the bank con- stantly,” geld Lewis, “but I thought nothing of it at the time. He called to me earlier than was usual to go with him and set the time lock to the vault.” A story told by Dan Cokeley, a rural mail carrier, is regarded by the Police qa important. “It was about lunch time,” he sald, “when I passed the bank. I noticed Mr. Cornelius standing in front of it and talking earnestly with Miss Lor. @tta Adelgais, who also is missing, I did not atop to listen to their con- veraation, but I overheard her ask him: “‘Have you the checks?’ “And I heard bim jawer ‘Yes; I have them all ready; all eigned—here they are.’ ‘That was the last time the man and stood tajking in front of the bank for some minutes. Then she went back to her office and he re-entered the bank. Three houre later both bad disappeared, John EB. Miller, a lawyer, of No. 20 Nassau Street, Manhattan, a director of the Englewood bank, says he rode across on the Fort Lee Ferry with Cornelius last Wednesday, and that the cashier carried a black leather ;bag and a shoe box. “He told me he was going to One Handred and Twenty-fifth Street tw exchange a pair of shoes Mra, Cor- nelius had bought,” Mr. Miller sald. Bam Ryan, night watohman at the bank, saw Cornelius leave with & bag, but saw no whoe box, Cornelius G. Hayes, former New York Police Inspector, and now rector of the Englewood Police, 19 conducting an “unofficial” investiga- tion, Thomas J, Huckin, District Attorney of Bergen County, and per- sonal friend of Cornelius, conferred with Mr. Blake yesterday, after which he said he would call the matter to the attention of the Grand Jury. Mra, Cornelius, who is with her daughters, Miss Amy Cornelius and Mrs. Meehan, at Greenwood Lake, de- nied to-day she thought her husband had fled with Mies Adelgals or that he had stolen from the bank. But if he has done elther, she said, he will oon come to a realisation of what he has done and kill himeeit, “Forgive him, you ask?” she sobbed, “I will forgive him anything if only he has not gone away with that hi d For twenty- wy years he | has loved me devotedly, le has been so good to me and our children, It just can't be true!” Mrs. Cornelius ts little bit of a woman, Her eyes, large, deop biue and very wistful, ai erhaps her most striking featu: fitty- four years old and said she had been ‘ington | an invalid for years. ppea: te te s vy} Bhe continued: + aornonns were, mi} “I never was @ friend of Miss oi eakae why the I never went to visit her oop an tale % husband, as has been tender of the Vanitie hea osition pher.

PETROGRAD, Aug. 3—The Rus- sian Duma to-day called upon the Government to prosecute “those crim- inally responsible for the shortage of mmunition for the Ru regardless of their position.’ The demand was contained in a vigorous resolution urging the Gov- ernment not to conclude peace with Russia's enemies “until victory is complete” and bespeaking the assist- ance of the entire population to la 74 s for continuing the spoke in support of resolution expressed ‘heir in- the dignation that lack of ammunition had compelled the Russian armies to retire from Galicia and finally to pre- are for the evacuation of Warsaw. ‘hey expressed the conviction that the existing pvortecnings in the produc- tion of munitions will be speedily re- moved by the new department organ- ized along lines imilar to those laid down by the British and French Gov- ernments, BRITISH AND GERMANS IN A BATTLE AT HOOGE.

BERLIN, via wireless to Sayville, L. I., Aug. 3—Tho Berliner Tageblatt to-day euggested that German firms and German capitaliste might unite to hinder the manufacture of wer munitions for the allies by American rms by taking measures of reprisal, The Tagebiatt suggested that Ger- man firms owning patents refuse to issue Heenses for their use to Ameri- can concerns now engaged in the production of war munitions, instanc- ing the making of bensole as an ex- ample. The newspaper stated that the Lehigh Coke Compaty had been forced by German capitalists owning & large share of ite stock to refrain trom supplying any of its output to munitions factories. “It the American courts should award damages against such firms the German Government could refund mount of the awards,” said the Tageblatt. might attacks checked by ghost-like @earchlights, and of almost unbear- able artillery fire withering and de- stroying everything in its path, is drawn by Leonard Adelt, correspon- Gent of the Berliner Tagebiatt, in despatch from the lsonso frontie im | His despatch is in part as follows: “In single file the Dalmatians groped their way wp the path through the woods to the ‘saddle’ of the Plava Heights.

A few of the mines exploded suddenly, the explo- sions followed by tangled wires and flying posts and stones. But before they could get to our trenches the rifles opened fire and the sappers dropped, annihilated, “Behind the ruin of every house in Oslavija, Gradisoutta and Podgora, behind every stone and bush, there were Italians.

Von der Goltz Says Nation Itself Has Reorganized Its Defensive Forces, By Henry Wood, United Press Staff Correspondent. Oorrarriahted in” dha nisi CONSTANTINOPLE, July 26 (de- layed).—""The greatest fleet ever as- eembled for an attack has scarcely scratched the defenses of t Dar- danelles, The possibility that the strait will be forced ts too remote for consideration, and back of this feel- Ing of confidence in the superiority of Turkish arms is developing a new spirit of national unity that is re- generating the Turkish empire.” Briefly put, these were the a ments made to-day by Field Mars! a ; Von der Goltz of the Germany Army, who as military instructor for years Preceding the Balkan ware won the title of “Father of the Modern Turk- ih Army.” Since Dec, 1 he has been al#o military aide to the Sultan. "Entirely aside from the valor of this new Turkish army there are other elements of strength in the de- fense of the Dardanelles which I am certain the public has failed to appre- cinte,” said the Field Marshal. “I doubt if the world knows that up to the present not a single ship of the allies has passed the first line of mines. “Back of this mere sentinel, as It were, lie whole mine fields and sub- marine defenses. Even were a ship able to elude the first line of mines the chances that she could pass the real mine defenses that follow are #0 small as not to be calculable. “At the very moment when the world believed the Turkish army weakest because of the reverses of the two Ball wars, it came forward with a strength and resistance never before attained. This is due to two things instilled into it by the Young Turkish generation of to-day—na- “Broadly speaking, the Turkish army is for the first time really a Turkish army and is for the very first time a Turtish army fighting for the existence of a Turkish Empire that means ‘Fatherland’ to every soldier. “These, principal'y, are the reasons why the English and French, trying to force their way into the one city which symbolizes tc tae Turkish mind the greatness, glory and existence of the Ottoman Empire, have found themselves facing an insurmountable barrier.” “It would be a mistake now to re- fer to me as the ‘father of the mod- ern Turkish Army,'" protested Field Marshal von der Goltz, “The Turk- ish Army organization which is now surprising the world dates only from the Balkan wars and js entirely a creation of the Turks themselves. Paradoxical as it may seem, the dis- asters of the Balkan wars proved for | the Turks thelr greatest source of strength. To them alone they owe their present salvation, “Until the Balkan wars it had been necessary at all times to keep the flower of the Turkish army in Mace- donte and Albania because of the up- rising of the Bulgarian, Serbian, Greek, Albanian and other racial ele- ments of the population.
