N. C. LAW BASED ON VOTING EXPERIENCE Paris, June 24. An official notice made public here today gives details of land operations on the north side of the Darda nells betwen June 1 and 8, and Bays that as a result of French and British attacks gains of from 150 to 00 yards over a front of one mile have been made. The British troops took more than' 500 prisoners. . London, June 24. With the excep tion of a small front on the Dnelster river, all the armies of Russia am either within or on their own frontier. Heavy fighting was reported north of Lemberg even before the fall of the city, so that Grand Diuke Nichols, the Russian commander In chief, may have had some difficulty In withdraw ing; his men to the new line along the River Pug. Military critics In London admitted today that the power of offensive had passed for some time from the hands of the Russians, while . special dis patches from Petrograd 'declare It may be months before the Austro-Germah aggregation is halted. It is generally admitted that the Russians, while special dispatches from Petrograd declare it may be months before the AuBtro-German a'g gression is halted. It Is generally admitted that the Russians, like the English, were not luffering from a lack of men but from a shortage of munitions, which pre vented the initiation of the general silted advance which has been expect ed since early summer. Heavy engagements marked the op erations on the western front yester day. The French were the objects of vigorous counter attacks by the Ger mans, who are seeking to recover posi tion recently lost by them. Whether the fall of Lemberg means that the Russian army operating south of It In southeast Sllicla la effectively cut off from the army to the north, stretching across Poland to the Baltic, cannot yet be said. Vienna and Berlin newspapers say this is the case and that the Russian arms have received i blow from which they cannot re tover. If the stroke proves as crushing as the Teutons predict, its effect, military observers here say, soon should be felt In the transfer of vast. German forces to the west, where for days they have been hard pressed by the French. Vf to 10:30 o'clock last night Petro frad had not conceded the fait of Lemberg. Previous dispatches from the Rushlan capital, however, related details of what purported to be the rystcmatlo withdrawal of the Russians from the town and If these details Ihould prove correct, tt Is believed In tailltary circles here that when the count is taken of the Aistro-German booty it will not be large, for, as was the case at Prcemysl, the Russians are aid to have worked hard to move ev erything ot military value. the latest advices officials here were them If they departed. Russians Claim Important Victory on the Dneister Petrograd, June 22, via London, June 23.; Only passing mention Is made of the operations around Lem b'erg in the Russia statement Issued last night, which asserts that des perate attacks have been repulsed and that 800 Germanic prisoners were taken at Rawa Ruska, 32 miles southwest of the Gallclan capital. An Important victory is claimed by the Russians below Mijiniff on the Dnelster, after a stubborn battle lasted from June 15.

We have not discriminated agnlnst them hecauso of their servi tude but because of their inability to meet either the literacy or the test of long training. I think there Is a great difference and since this clause of ours hecame effective se-ven years ago I do not see how It is going to rise up to confound us." Mr. Travis, of course, sees the pos sibility of it, but he believes that there la a fundamental difference be tween the sections destroyed by the courts Monday and those Involved in the state act. The .North Carolina amendment will fall or stand as a unit. It Is so constructed.

His nom- iratian. wlll-be-seBt-'to, the senate, ort th") reconvening of congress. It Is not believed that his confirmation will be opposed. 1 Few appointments In recent vears have given such widespread satisfac tion In the national capital. Mr. Lansing is a life-long democrat, but he hafi devoted his time to interna tional law and diplomacy and is as popular with former republican offi cials as with his colleagues. One of the peculiar circumstances In connection with Mr. Lansing's ap pointment is tho fact that he person ally has no' political backing or In fluence. Succeeding William Jennings Bryan, foremost among leaders of the 'democratic party, a comparatively un known quantity in tho political world has been ushered Into the premier ship of the cabinet. Mr. Lnnslng Is 61 years old, a native of Wntrrtown, N. Y., and a descend ant of the family of John Lansing, who represented New Tork In the con stitution convention of 1787 at Phila delphia and Inter was chancellor of the state of New York. After gradu ation from Amherst colleg in 1888, M: Lansing chose the profession of zen to stand near when someone "put Claude Jordan out of business," and then swear that it was in self de fense. Miller said that he refused to be a party and reported the matter. William R. Wagoner swore that English enmo to his place of business on Tuesday afternoon and called Miller, but he did not know what passed between them. Claude Jordan, star witness for the state in the pros ecution of the alleged bott-leggers arrested within the past few days, swore that he heard this rumor that English was trying to get tip a crowd to put him out of the way and peace. Carranza announced. his intent tlon of continuing his military camt , palgn to crush his adversaries. A '- A The possibility, however, that I Gen eral Carranza. does not understand' th earnestness of the United Statea In M demands for the restoration of fpaacd was recognized by officials here. Cart ranza probably will soon be told, that before he can hope for the moral; supJ port of the United . States he i must adopt a conciliatory attitude "toward his opponents. It is believed this U the object of the mission of CharlesJU Douglas and Eliseo Arrendondo,' Washington representatives of Carran. crowa to put mm out o. za, who ieave here tomorrow, , , w . be told 4he officers of whrt k-44l. pjaent Wilson' ha received 4 heard, miss jyiarguenxe ssmnn bwuio that English had been to see her ev. ery night since Inst Saturday night, arriving on the 8:15 o'clock car. The state maintained that English made the suggestion regardin& Jordan, to Miller about 8 o'clock Tuesday night. A. Hall Johnson, assisting Solici tor J. E. Swain, asked the court to place the deTendant under a heavy neace bond, so that if he was able to make the other bonds he would be forced to keep the peace with Jor dan, he said. The court did not as for a peace bond. English, in his testimony, aeniea that ho made any such statement us was attributed to him by Miller ana said that he "had never met Miller" and did not know even that Jordan was a witness against him. Yesterday Afternoon. At the hearings yesterday afternoon before Magistrate W. A. James, Jr., the following negroes were held to Superior court on $100 bonds each, on the testimony of Claude Jordan: John Young, alias "Hull Dog;" Will Moore, Zlon Plemmons, Fred Fowler ivnrt John Earle. Th map neralnst W. H. Bush charged with retailing has been con tlnued. long report on General Carranza' views as given In Informal conversa' tlon with an American consular offleet at Vera Cruz. He found In It little hope for an accommodation of differ ences between tho Mexican factions, General Carranza reiterated that hi( was not a campaign for the elevation of personalities, but for the principled of the revolution, that his opponent! were "reactionaries" and desirous only of advancing personal ambitions. Outlining his plans for the future, Carranza declared he soon would dominate the situation and would grant amnesty to all who were not tsullty of crimes. General Villa ard his associates, however, according to, Goimral Carranza, either must leava the country, or be tried by a military court. General Carranza's views did nol surprise officials here, as he consist ently has ignored all offers of peace1 made by the Villa-Zapata faction, aS well as suggestions of foreign mediators. SLATON IKLS FAREWELL SPEECH government or foreign nations m Im portant cases. He has represented the United States in more Internation al crbitratlons than any living Amer ican, and a French authority recently wrote that Mr. Lansing probably had a lojfter, and broader experience In international arbitration and had sp peare, ifs$re frequently before Inter national 'tribunals than any living lawyer.
