Attention Centered On Gigantic
Operations.
London, July 18. Attention
"'2'-' i . 1 i 1 .
now. is .centered on xne gigantic
Operations in the east, with
fighting in full swing in nearly
yery section of the Russian line
from the Baltic to the Dinester.
General von Buelow is pushing
the German advance toward Ri
ga, on the north end of the line.
The movement is being conduct
ed by calvary on a scale exceed
ing anything heretofore under
taken during the war. Berlin
claims a steady advance and Pe
trograd conceede the Russians
have f alleir back'!; after a stub
torn contest.
On. von Buelow's right is Gen
feral von Eichborn, who is being
Eeld up by , the great Russian
Fortress Ossowetz. Upon von
Bichborri's right is General Gall
71t2, who captured Przasmysz
l&nchis now pressing the attack
Oiarew and its tributaries.
On the Rawka and Bzura line
there comparative quiet, which
also" is. reflected on the south
western side of Warsaw up to
southeastern. The move
ment on Eublin which was tem
porarily checked is again in full
sway
:TheJRussians must fight de
cisive battles for the possession
of -Warsaw or abandon all of Po
Iana and military observers be-
JieyeLthat Nicholas very likely
.wilJ-adopt the latter course and
L withdraw his army intact
xiiese urcmeiiuuus ucrmaii'ac-
tivities in the east suggest the
Teutons have little reserve to
devote to the western campaign,
Oiienng tne entente Allies re
spite either for completion of
munition supplies or a concerted
attempt to recapture Lille.
Another view holds that the
best aid the Allies could give
Russia at this time would be
forcing the Dardanelles. It is
possible the Allies may combine
both suggested attempts, but for
the time the war's center of
gravity has shifted to east Eu
rope.
The Italians report some pro
gress in the province east of
Trencina, where the invaders
now are striking toward one of
tYo railroads serving the Aus
trian province.

PRISON WITH FIGHTING
CHANCE TO GET WELL
Green's Attack on Frank Made
While Prisoner Slept. An Ug
ly, Jagged Wound, Assailant
Declares He Planned And Ex
ecuted the Attack On Frank
Alone.
Milledgeviile, Ga., July 18.--
Leo M. trank lay in the state
prison hospital here tonight with
what-attendants said was a fight
ing chance for recovery Physi
cians had succeeded in stopping
the flow of blood f rpm a jagged
wound in his throat made with an
improvised knife in the hands of
William Green, .a fellow convict,
also serving a life, term for mur
der. The blow was struck as Frank
slept in his bunk in a dormitory
late last night.
This last 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 recommend that Frank's death
sentence for the murder of Mary
Phagan be commuted to life im
prisonment. Reports from Atlanta
were that Governor Harris inti
mated today he would start such
an investigation to ascertain if
Green acted entirely of his- own
volition.
Green said today, when taken
from solitary confinement long
enough to be questioned, that lie
planned and executed, the attack
alone. He w&s not communicative
today and gave as his only excuse
that "he thought it should , be

Mrs. W. R. James and child-
-Mrs. Stanfield Dead.
Mrs. Ira T. Stanfield, who has
been ill for several weeks died on
last Friday. She was stricken with
typhoid fever, and while her
friends continued to hope for the
best it was known for several days
that tftere was little hope for her
recovery. She was a most loveable
woman and consecrated Christian,
being a member of the Roxboro
Baptist Church, which she joined

chances up this way have greatly
improved in the past few days, as
his daughter visitedour little town
and now every young man,, re
gardless of politics, who came un

his cause. The old adage "like
father like son" is generally ad

to paraphrase that just a little and

then we can cheerfully say to the
