FIGHTING IS VICIOUS Probability of the' Evacuation of Warsaw Being Seri ously Discussed. London, July 18 The Russian front, running from the Baltic in the north to Bessarabia in the south, a distance of nearly a thousand miles, is being subjfictcd to vioJtnt attacks by the Germans asd Austrian s and in places has, according to the German official report, been pierced-' .. - - In the Baltic provinces General Von Buelow, who Is using large forces of Causery has crosed the Windau river and is moving toward Riga. :f In the Przasnysz district, Field: Marshal,-Von Hindenburg, who is making his fourth, attempt to reach Warsaw, has twice broken the Russian lines and compell ed the defenders to relay toward the narrow river. . ' - v In Southern Poland, after a period of inactivity, Field Marshal Von Macken Ben is again on the move and claims to have captured . some Russian . ad vanced positions which stod between him and his objective, the Lublin Cholm railway. ' ' Simultaneously with these attacks, which are the main ones, the Austro German armies areionvthe offensive west of the yi8tula river. In central Poland, and along : the Pneister river in Galicla. As j wLa .the ' case in the drive through western Gaiicia, the Russians are fighting stubbornly, and, on occassions are turning and deliver ing. vicious - Wows at their .opponents. But whether they, will be "able" to hold their present lines is problematical. - The probability of the Russians hav ing 'to evacuate Warsaw, which is threatened by Von Hindenburg, in, the neighborhood and Von Mackensen in the south, is being" seriously " diseased. The possibility of a further retreat, however. Is being calmly considered in Russia' where the old theory- that the further the enemy j is drawn into the coun'tryrthe worse it is for him buoys up their hopes of final victory. For the present, Berlin is the only capitol celebrating and again Field Marshal" Von Hindenburg, iwhoses suc "cess in the Przasnysz ." district i is the cause of it, is being lauded. With the enormous sum of German troops being used for the offensive in h.e east the greatest, movement of the kind ever undertaken in the his tory of war the military critics here do not look for any events of outstand ing importance in the west for some time to come. The Official reports is sued today, showed . thus far at - any rate, no important move has been un dertaken by either side. There have been artillery engagements all along the front and a few infantry attacks, but these were infinite comparison with the operations in the east. '- Unofficial reports continue to refer to- the fighting on "the Gallipoli pen insula, but these reports are not con firmed by the .headquarters concerned. News from v that district is anxiously awaited as the effort to clear the pen insula of Turks is about due.. RUSSIANS . GIVEN .SURPRISE Berlin Rejoices Over Von Hindenburg , . Victory. Berlin, (via London), July- 18. The news of field Marshal Von Hindenburgs newest surprise for the Russians, which the war office announces has resulted in important victories, was made known late yesterday, causing general rejoicing and the apeparance of flags all over the city. - .

" : With Field Marshal Von Mackensen proceeding against the other flank, the maintenance of conmunication is a se rious problem. The ' breaking of , the , ,Russion line near Krasnostav, 34 miles ''south of Lublin, brings the Germans dangerously near Cholm - and" Lublin, both of their points are of the highest importance for the Russians in main taining their positions n! the Vistula region. - ,; : Town of Gorizia Im JBombarded Air ships Drop Bombs.

Importation of a corps of Swiss dye stuff chemists to, aid in; the development of the new American coal tar dye industry is the latest project of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in its effort to meet the. American dye stuff famine re sulting from the cutting off of the Ger man supply. - A combination of Swiss technical skill,- American capital and the vast American supply of coal tar would be of "untold, value" in the development of the American industry, according to a statement by Dr. Thomas H. Norton, of the bureau, made public today. Dr. Nortpn asserts that the plan, which al ready has 1 been successfully tried by Russia, would be the logical develop ment of the " present scheme under which United States coal tar crudes are to be exported to Switzerland, manu factured into dyes, and returned to this country. Two Swiss dye chemists, through the bureau, have already be gun negotiations with American firms to undertake the establishment of plants in this country. "The transfer of a-sufficient corps of Swiss expert color 'chemists to the United States at this critical moment would, be of untold value in furthering the ; rapid evolution, of the American Industry," said Dr. Norton's statement. "It would be possible by their aid. and direction to attain the maximum Of economy in time and money in con structing new plants, in adopting, the most practical and. effective mechanical devices, in applying the most economi-i cal conditions, in co-ordinating the fea .tures.ofc a-fconTplicated branch of man ufactnre to lavdi'5 Toss" 6f "material alia restrict the , dependence upon highly skilled and .expensive labor.

WILSON COMING TODAY Wilson and Lansing Understood - to Have Decided to State Definitely Consequences of Further "Vi olation of Rights, Washington, July 18. With the re turn here , tomorrow of President Wil son, the formulation of the policy to be pursued by the United States as a con sequence of Germany' last note on submarine warfare will be begun. The President will collaborate with Secretary Lansing in completing a note to the German government that .has been tentatively prepared, to be des patched possiblybefore the end of the coming week., , While details as to the course which Is to be followed are withheld, it is known that both the President and Mr. Lansing have practically made up their minda that a definite statement of what the ; consequences of ' further violation of American rights would be should be given the German gOYrnment n the next communication. There is little likelihood that there will be any fur ther discussion of the principles in volved. By the recent attempt to destroy the British liner Orduna carrying a score of Americans on her voyage to the United State's with no munitions or contraband, officials here feel that the position of the United States as stated in its previous' notes has been mate rially strengthened. They . declare it bears out the American contention that the character of a vessels her destina tion and cargo can be safely determined only by visit and search. Information Lacking. -As yet official information is lacking toshow . whether the Orduna was at tacked without warning and .what the circumstances were of her encounter with . the - German submarine. In ' dis cussion ,of the case, stress is laid upon the" xaet-that -the 'vessel -waa-e route to the United " States and carried r6 cargo of importance, making the at tack on -a vessel carrying Americans seemingly wholly unwarranted. A statement of the circumstances possibly will be made by American pas sengers .aboard the Orduna to the State Department,. although j the American government might take cognizance of the newspaper statements. A thorough investigation of the facts will be made and a request possibly will be sent to the German government for its report of the affair. Berlin, July 18. It is learned on good authority that a German mining en gineer, who went to Turkey, just be fore that -empire took up arms last fall, to hunt for coal deposits which might make the country independent of foreign sources, found three excellent deposits. .; The . Turks proceeded to de velop them, at once, and the German government- now believes that the coil problem of its ally will not prove of any embarrassment to her while hos tilities last.

Two hours af ter .the Missouri and Kansas rivers ceased rising, today because of heavy rains last week, a; terrific rain and windstorm swept eastern . Kansas, western Missouri and Southern Nebra ska and renewed fears of a disastrous flood. The local weather bureau im mediately issued a general warning to the residents and business firms in the. east and west bottoms of Kansas City,, that another -serious rise in the Missouri and Kansas rivers might be expected.- ' .

WAS CUT WHILE ASLEEP Negro Saya He i Alone Committed the Deed, Because ., "He Thought it Should Be Done" Investigation on Affair Probable Milledgeville, 'Ga., July 18. Leo M. Frank lay in the state prison hospital here tonight wli;h what attendants said was a fighting chance for recov ery. Physicians jhad succeeded in stop ping the flow of blood from a jagged wound in his throat made with an im provised knife in the hands of Wil liam Creen, a fellow conyict, also serv ing a life term for murder. The blow was struck as Frank slept in his bunk in a dormitory late last night. This latest most spectacular phase of the two-year fight for Frank's life may be the subject of investigation by the Georgia prison commission, .which refused to recommend that Frartk's death sentence for-the murder of Mary Phagan be commuted to life imprison ment. Reports from Atlanta were that Governor Harris Intimated today he would start such -Investigation to as certain if Creen acted entirely of his own volition. Creen said todayt when taken from solitary confinement long enough to be questioned, that he planned ' and executed, the attack alone. He was not communfeative- today and gave as his only excuse that "he thought it should be done." He ' said, however, that he regretted his act. Frank was quartered in a! dormitory with about one hundred other prison ers and occupied! a bunk about forty feet from one of Ithe two doors to 'the large room. Creen's bunk -was fourth from his. No -. prisoner is allowed to leave his ' place ("without permission from one of -the two guards on duty. Shortly after 11-i -o'olook- last night, Creen called out .for permission to get up. and it was granted. - -Grabbed Frank By Hair, He started -down the line of bunks toward 1 thi onAoaoupled , by Frank'., As he reached it he quickly grabbed' Frank by the hair and delivered one blow with the knife , he had concealed. The attack was witnessed by the guard who rushed to th0 bunk and prevented Creen from striking again. Creen was overpowered and among prisoners who rushed to Frank's aid were two phy sicians, one . of whom, also was serving a life term for murder. The two convict' physicians gave first aid and treated the wound until Dr. Guy Corapton, the prison physician, was summoned from, his home half a mile away. The Lthree men took 25 stiches in Frank's, peck.. Dr.- H. J. Rosenberg, the Frank, family physician, arrived from Atlanta today with nurses He said that, whije Frank's condition is precarious he " has a chance for life Mrs. Frank was in ' Milledgeville at the home of J. M. HBurhs! She was not told of the attack! until after the phy sicians had. finished 'their work. She became hysterical,! but. later was calm ed and was taken" tb the prison hos pital. ' i The cut extends from the front of the neck around the left side to almost the middle of thr back- of the neck. Neither the winftpipe -nor the spinal cord is hurt, but the jugular vein is partly severed. The phyeicians' great est fear tonight, was that some of the stitches might slip, causing more loss of . blood. .4 ' Frank has benefitted by the outdoor life since being brought to the farm June 21. Though a small man,. he. al ways has had a j rugged expression, and that coupled with his exercises of the last three weeks are in his favor, the doctors said. He took some nourish ment today.. i Frank knew of j the demonstration against Governor Slaton whose term recently expired, in - commuting his sentence and also j of . threats to take him . from . the prison farm by force. Those who reached his side first last night a,fter he was wounaed, believe he had this all in mind when le said: "I guess they have got me now." He did not lose consciousness .and after being taken to the hospital requested that hfs assailant be forgiven. Creen -was sentenced from Columbus fr killing a man named Kitchen. Short! after the crime a jury inquired into hint sanity but declared him sane. Saturday he. was helping to kill hogs with other prisoners. He concealed in his clothing the khife he used in the butchering and later, it is believed, se creted it in his bunk. ' no official Action taken Governor Harrla Not Yet "Officially Notified of Attack.' Atlanta, Ga.," July 18. Governor Harris said .' tonight he had taken no official action in connection with the attack upon'Leo MJ Frank at the state prison farm at Milledgeville last night. "Nothing has' been done in the mat. ter as there has been no official . no tice of anything out of the ordinary . at the prison," said the governor. . "I have no doubt though, that the . authorities will-take such action as the' situation demands." i - '.ti v - TWO CHILDREN KILLED , WHEN TRAIN HITS AUTO Father and 'Mother of Cnlldren aaa Others injured Near Hickory. f AshevilleN.
