The president of the British Beard of Trade, however, is to resume negotiations with the miners at the point at whioh they were lecently broken off, and this according to London dispatches seem to offer a way put of the difficulty. The Italian commander-in- chief, General Cadora in his latest official report, says merely that the situation in the Italo Austrian campaign is unohaged. London. July 18. The Rus sian frnt, running from, the Bal tio in the north to Bessarabia in the south, a distance of nearly a thousand miles, is being subjected to-violent attacks by the Germans and Austrians ansk in places has, according to the German official report, been pierced . London, July 16. The Austro German armies, which appear to be working in perfect conoert as as the result of the German orga nization are giving the Russians little rest or time to reorganise after their retreat from Galioia. . Simultaneously with the Ger man effort to reach Warsaw, the Austrians have attacked along the Dniester and have orossed that river at several points. . General von Maokensen's army, which doubtless had been waiting for Field Marshal von Hindenburg to move in the north,' also has come to life again and fighting has bein resumed in southern Po laad. .. , In fact, there is fighting of more or less severity all along the Russian front exoept in centra V i Poland, where the Russians are in such strong positions, that in the opinion of military men, it would be impossible to break through. The Germans claim further pro gress in their northern operations but with the Russians retiring it is not likely that the main forces have clashed as yet. The com bined operations are the most gigantio yet undertaken, the aim 6irBia Boat FIrtlTerpiSo at Llaer iBi iTBM 5h8JlaarAB8!iai ds iMarl. hlvdrljner'onla tronl Livetp6dJ totkew York.f wili27 ptiogerf J including 22 vAmwrioaja;j5aa af-fi taerwithdulruihiaii mansubmBriuw othtuoruog 4fML tujog July 9, it was learned on her ar'4 -Twei av- yard, of the Lusitahia off OJd Head; of Kinsale the Otduna es-j caped the LusitaniaVfate byCono half ft seoQQd of time drj 10 feet of space, the Qerman torpedo oburh ing the water that distance Lehiildj the linens luWer&Theii the Ot duna sped away. , She waa folloir ed by the submarine which rose tot the surfaoe, manned a gnu add shelled the fleeing atiamerr Tha attack waa timed at 10 minutes )to 6 oolocki in the morn ing when ill bat few pasaeugers were f Fofr hftlf tn hr thf OrdnBa showed her neels to.thet Iassailm Through marine glasses the psbf sengera; watched the - low QsrmmafarshDm on t but the; Ordunat flrght ?trl thanbe .ujteitf:ia shots had been firddNituout oflel the eubmariDivep he chase. .WstahiI.f!Miuto tht grave a!tionjt between the United .Stataamnd Usrmany over -the si the juusitania was inrusj anoine?, issue toda y when at-jsjis . jeyjealBd.. that the British Bt aamtr Otduria; carry iDfc a score of ; Americans, hac been attacked , by a Qerman sub marine.

So long as this effort to crush Russia orto break her power of: offensive oontiuues there is little! possibility military writers say of the .Germans attemptingany im portant movement iu the west, for it is believed that the Austro Germans will for a long while re quire all their available troops in the east. Four German army corps composed of Pomeranians and men from Sohleswig, are said to have left Thorn to reinforce General von Hidenburg. The German Crown Prince did try to break through the Frenoh lines in Argonne, but it is tip op inion of military experts that his intention was simply to weaken the Frenoh hold on Verdun. A German offioial statement olaims that one result of this offensive was the capture of 7,000 French soldiers in three weeks. On the other hand, the French claim to have regained most of the ground they bad been forced to give up and which they state did not ex ceed 400 yards in depth . Fighting it now in progress oc the Lorraine frontier and in Artois, where ? the French contin ued their attempt to oapture Sou qhez. Further progress is unofficially reported from Athens to have been made by the allies on the Galli poli Peninsula in the Dardanelles campaign, and as the Atheba dispatchs are, generally ahefd of the offioial reports this statement is credited here. More important is the pews that Roumania has declined to aocede to Germany's demand that Rou mania i allow munitions to pass through that country for Turkey.

John Peebles Found Bslltf. Wayhesville, July 17 The jury in the case where John Peebles was charged with the killing of A. M. Bennett, after deliberating since Friday noon. : returned a verdiot late Saturday afternoon of involuntary manslaughter with a resommendation for mercy to the court. The killing ooourred at Sunburst, in the depot of the Ten nessee & North Carolina Railroad, last month. From the evidence given in the case it appeals that Bennett had gone to the depot on business and was leanipg on his elbow at -the window of .the-station, talking to Peebles, who had a pistol in his playing with it, hand, carelessly when it was dis- charged, the- bullet striking Ben- blood. net just above the left wrist, Frank knew of the demonstra ploughed its way through the en- tions against' the action of Gov tire length of his forearm and en. teriLg his left chest.

Leo 11 Ml'i Throat CHI Fallow Prisoner Ujis a Batcher Knifa Witft Terrible Ettact. fraafc llay Recoier. Milledgeyille, Ga., July 18 Leo M. Frank lay in the State piison hospital here tonight with! what attendants said 'was a fight ing chance for reoovery. Physi cians had suooeeded in stbppingj the flow of blood from a jaggedj wound in his throat made with an; improvised knife in the hands of William Creen, a fellow convict, also serving a life term 'for mur der. The blow was struck while Frank slept in his bunk in the dormitory late last night. This latest and most speotapular phase of the two-year's fight for Frank's life may be the subject of an in vestigation, by the Georgia Prison Commission, which refused to re- commend that Frank's death sen tence for the murder of ''Mary Phagan he commuted to life im prisonment. Reports from A lanta were that Governor Harris intimated today he would stsrt suoh an investigation to ascertain if Creen aoted entirely of his own voiition. Creen said today, when taken from solitary confinement long enough to be questioned, that he planned and executed the attack alone. He was not communica tive today and gave as his only ex cuse that 4he thought it should be done.". He said, however, that he regreted bis act. ranx was quartered in a uor- mitory with about 100 other pris- oners and oooupied a bunk about 40 feet from one of the two doors to the large room. Creen's bunk was fourth from him. No prison er is allowed to leave bis plaoe without permission from one of the two guards on duty. Short ly after, 11 o'clock list night Oreeii cajiea out ror permission so gcvvp-flLaat and it waa grauted . He started down the line of bunks toward the one oooupied by Frank. As he reaohed it he quick ly grabbed Frand by the hair and delivered one blow with the knife he had concealed. The attack was witnessed by the guard who rushed to the bunk aud prevented Creen from striking again. Creen was overpowered and among prisoners who rushed to Frank's aid were two physicians, one of whom also was serving a life term for mur der. The two convict nhviieiant a&vb flrifc aid ftud fcreated the wouna until Dootor Compton, the prison physician, was summoned from his home half mile awry. The three men took 25 stitohes in Frank's neck. Dr. H J, Roaen burg, the Frank family physician arrived today with nurses. He said that while Frank's oonditiou is precarious he has a ohanoe for life. The cut extends from the front of the neck around the left side to almost the middle of the back bf the neck. Neither the windpipe nor the spinal cord is hurt, but the jugular vein is partly severed. The physioian'e greatest fear to- night was that some of the stitches misht slip, causing more loss of ernor Slaton, whose term recently expired in commuting his sent ence and also threats to take him from the prison farm by force Those who reaohed hia tide fleet last night as he was wounded be Ueve Jbe .had all .this in mind when he said : I guess they have got me now." He did not lose ooniciouinen and after being taken to tne hospital he requested that his assailant be forgiven. Creen wat sentenced from Col umbus for killing a -mau named Kitchen, Shortly ttfterlhe crime a jury inquired into hisanity but declared him sane. 'Saturday he was helping to kill hogs withjxth er prisoners. He -odBCealed in his clothing the knife he used ;n the butchering and later, it is believed marDtpA in it in his bunk.

Germany's admisiion of liabili ty and expression of regret for the German submarine attack on thb Amerioau ateamer Nebraskan, pleased officials in Washington, but it was the general opinion thalt U gal points raised would require the dispatrh of a note further - to conserve American rights in the war z-ne. A memorandum stat ing Germany's position reached the 3tate Department through Ambassador Gerard a t Berlin. Legal officers of the American gov ernment who examined the Ger man memorandum ..pointed out that in many respects the case re sembled that of William P Frye, the Amerioan ship sunk by the Prinz Eitel Friedrioh. In both oses Germany has expressed re gretand has offered to compensate Amerioan citizens, but the action of the German commanders has been deolared jnotified.
