Attempt Made to Torpedo Orduna 22- American Aboard Just 20 Miles From Site of Lusitania Disaster Misses Destruction By Half a Second. New York Dispatch, 17th. The Cunard liner Orduna, from Liv erpool to New York, with 227 passen gers, including 22 Americans, was at tacked without warning by a Ger man submarine on the morning of July 9, it was learned on her arrival here to-day. Twenty miles from the graveyard of the Lusitania 6ff Old Head of Kin sale, the Orduna escaped the Lusi tania's fate by one-half a second of time or 10 feet of space, the German torpedo churning the water that dis tance behind the liner's rudder. Then the Orduna sped away. She was fol lowed by the submarine which rose to the surface, manned a gun and shelled the fleeing steamer. The attack was timed 10 minutes to 6 o'clcok in the morning when all but a few of her passengers were asleep. Aroused by stewards, the passengers dressed hurriedly and went to the upper deck where they donned life belts and too their places at the life boats. They heard the scream of the shells and saw the ocean spit up columns of water where the mssilies struck. When the fire grew hot they were ordered, for their own protection, to the nert deck below. For half an hour the Orduna show ed her heels to the assailant. Through marine glasses the pattengers watch ed the low lying German warship coming on, but the Orduna's flight was faster than the pursuit and af ' ter seven shots had been fired without effect the submarine gave up the chase. A wireless call for 'help was sent out by the Orduna when the torpedo was seen. She was then 37 miles south of Queenstown. The reply, Cap tairfc Taylor says, in his official report, was that help would be given within an hour. It was four hours before the first British vessel, a small arm ored yacht, the Jeannette, appeared. Protest will be made to the United States Government by at least one American citizen, and possibly others who were aboard. William O. Thomp son of Chicago, counsel to the Fed eral Industrial Relations Commis sion, who went aboard in his official capacity last March and was return ing to make his report, is the pas senger who said to-day that he would make vigorous protest to his Govern ment. "As an American citizen, employed in an official capacity by the Govern ment to go abroad, I feel that I should bring the Government's atten tion to the attack," said Thompson. "I feel that I had a right to return home on the Orduna, although she flies the British flag, because she is a passenger ship. The fact that she had no munitions of war aboard for tified this opinion. It is little short of marvelous that she was not sent to the bottom with all aboard." GREATEST OFFENSIVE MOVE GERMANS HAVE EVER UNDERTAKEN ATTEMPT MADE TO TAKE LEO FRANK'S LIFE. Great Drive All Along the Eastern Battle Front. London, July 18. The eastern front, running from the Baltic in the north to Bessarabia in the south, distanct of nearly a thousand miles is being subjected to violent attacks by the Germans and Austrians and in places has, according to the Ger man officials report, been pierced. in the Baltic provinces Genera von Buelow, who is using large forces of cavalry, has crossed the Windau River and is moving toward Riga In the( Przasnysz district Field Marshall von Hindenburg, who making his fourth attempt to reach Warsaw, has twice broken the Bus sian lines and compelled the defend ers to retire toward the Narew River T J 1 "r- n -m j xn soumern .roiand. alter a period of inactivity, Field Marshal von Mackensen is again on the move and claims to have captured some Rus sian advanced positions which stood between him and his objective, the Lublin-Cholm Railway. Simultane ously with these attacks, which are the main ones, the Austro-German armies are on the offensive west of the Vistula River, in central Poland, Galica. As was the case in the drive through western Galica, the Russians are fighting stubbornly, arid on occasions are turning and deliver ing vicious blows at their opponents. But whether they will be able to hold their present lines is problematical. Amherst and Community. Correspondence of The News-Herald.

Frank lay in the State pris on hospital here to-night with what attendants said was a fighting chance for recovery. Physicians had suc ceeded in stopping the flow of blood from a jagged wound in his throat made with an improvised knife in the hands of William Creen ,a fellow con vict, also serving a life sentence for murder. The blow was struck while Frank slept in his bunk in a dormi tory late last night. This latest and most spectacular phase of the two-year fight for Frank's life may be the subject of an investigation by the Georgia prison commission, which refused to recom mend that Frank's death sentence for the murder of Mary Phagan be com muted to life imprisonment. Reports from Atlanta were that Governor Harris intimated to-day that he would start such an investigation to ascertain if Creen acted entirely of his own violation. Rheumatism Has a Foe.

Stanley of Highland, which is located just east of the Hickory Chair Manufacturing company in that town, was fired into with a pistol by some unknown person this morning about 1 o'clock and the mayor and his wife narrowly escaped being killed while asleep in bed. Two shots were fired, both through an upen wmaow, by which the bed in which Mayor Stanley and his wife were sleeping stood, one shot striking yne neaaboard of the bed about 12 inches over Mr. Stanley's head. From the manner in which the bullets ranged one of the shots could not pos sibly have, missed Mrs. Stanley more man nve inches. It is said that Mayor Stanley has a numDer of enemies in Highland, and 4.1. - 1 i uxere nas been much controversy irom "e time he : entered , the race for mayor until the present day. On the night of July 3 he and Police man Mingus on one side ; and C. E. Witherspoon on the other, figured in an affray when the two former men went to Witherspoon's house late at night and attempted to arrest him. The cases against the former two were non-suited in Recorder Camp bell's court here recently and Wither spoon was taxed with the costs. FREAKS. Good Crops in Burke. The wheat threshers are now busy in various parts of the county and re ports as to the yield are good. Our farmers tell us that there is a prospect of the largest corn crop ever produced in the county. The Census Bureau has estimated that the population of the United States passed the 100,000,000 mark April 2nd. The Mooresville Enterprise is our authority for the folowing stories: John F. Wiggins, an industrious farmer of this vicinity, last fall killed a fine porker and the women folks took the head and cooked it, making it into souse and livermush. After scraping and cleaning the jowl, this particular piece of anatomy was care fully tucked jaway on the kitchin wall to use in case of mumps. The family escaped this troublesome experience, however, and one day last week the jowl attracted the attention of Mr. Wiggins, who took it down and exam ined it. He found that an entirely new set of teeth had grown out just below the old ones. J. M. Fesperman, another industrious farmer, found a young kitten at his barn several weeks ago which had eight legs and two tails. The little feline only lived a short while, its ped al extremities being too heavy for its Kittennood to manage. Stokesi Poston. well-known nhmif ' " IS V VA V town, brought to our office this week a small chick which had four legs andf four wings. One pair of legs and wings were set backwards, and could the little fowl have lived it could have scratched both going and coming. A Correction.
