1 v ? LS HUSSIANS IN KOIIT AUSTRIANS DRIVE THEM OVER VIEPRZ IN DISORDER SUVS KEEP UP RETREAT Austro-Crernuuig Are Making Deeper- ate Efforts to Entrap the Armies i . . of Grank Duke Nicholas—Claim Success in Crossing , Narew and Break in Line at ixunza. Berlin, Monday, via London: Pra- ga, the suburb of Warsaw, on the eastern bank of the Vistula, has been occupied by (German troops, accord ing to the German official statement Friday. Mile by mile the Austro-Germans on Monday were pushing the Rus sians back from the old fighting ground about Warsaw, meanwhile making determined efforts to entrap the armies of the Grand Duke Nich olas before they have a chance to re treat* to their new defensive posi tions. Particularly successful operations to this end are reported by Vienna where the claim is made that Arch duke Joseph Ferdinand’s army has forced the Russians in disorder across the Viepn near Lubartov and badly defeated them southwest of Miech- kow. * Unofficial advices from Austrian headquarters indicate that a split in the Russian lines caused by these operations may spell danger to the forces this divided. The probability that troops retiring from the vicinity of Ivangorod will protect the line of retreat* however, is suggested. Military observers In London ex press the opinion that the entrapping attempts will fail, gathering from the official reports indications that the Russians may now be expected to .reach their new line safely. A report from the headquarters of the Austrian army in Poland says the defeat of the Russians on Sunday be tween Lubartow and Mlechow result ed in driving the troops apart, leav ing a large gap between. Russian troops north of Lubartow fleed northeast across the Vieprz at Lea- sekowlce, about twelve miles north of Lubartow, while those around Mlechow fled northwest to reach the Vleprs by way of Baxanow. It is Impossible at this moment to determine how serious a danger for the Russians this breach may prove, but probably they are amply protect ed against dangerous Inroads upon their line of retreat by troops with drawing from Ivangorod along the highway running parallel with the north bank of theWlepn to Radxyn. In resisting the Austrian advance the Russians made a desperate at- 1 tack at Mlechow. The retreat of their left wing over the Vleprs at Lessekowlce was a root of pronounc ed character. It is known that the number of prisoners considerably ex ceeds the six thousand officially re ported. Vienna reports: The army of Arch duke Joseph Ferdinand in the district between the Vistula and the Vieprz Saturday prosecuted its attack. Odr attacking forces repulsed the enemy from several lines west of the Vieprz and occupied In the afternoon Lu bartov and advanced northward to the bend of the river. The repulsed enemy fled in disorder across the Vieprz. South and southwest of Wiechow Our troops gained a full success. In order to parry our attack the enemy counter-attacked. Hand to hand tghting-devetoped and the enemy, caught on the front and flank, was driven back across the Vieprz. The number of prisoners taken at Lubar tov am} Wiechow up to Saturday evening aggregated twenty-three of ficers and. six thousand men and booty resisting of two cannon, eleven machine guns and two munition cars. Threatened by our troops, who are victorlossly advamtug from the south toward the lower Vieprz, the Russian corps which remained in the -Vistula district northwest of Ivan gorod began to retreat northwest ward nearly Sunday rhoming, pur sued by the Austro-Hungarian forces. Berlin reports: “Towardk the west front of Kovno progress whs made and five hundred Russians wers made prisoners and two machine guns^ere taken. ‘"The armies of Gens, von Schotz and von Gallwitz have, after stub born fighting, broken the resistance of the enemy near Lomza and the mouth of the river Bug. “The total results of the fighting from August 4 to August 6 amount to eighty-five officers and more than fourteen thousand two hundred men being taken prisoners. Six cannon, eight bomb throwers and sixt£ ma chine guns also were captured.” London reports: The Russian front on the Narew has been broken and the Russians are in full retreat to the eastward, according to official news reaching here to-night from Berlin. The line was pierced at two places, near Lomza, by the army of Gen. von Scljolz and at the mouth of the Bug in the region of Novo Geor- gievsk, by the army of Gen. von Gall witz. . • Six German armies are converging in a desperate effort to pen in the Russian armies etween Warsaw and their second line, while two others are engaged in wider outflanking movements which seek to make un tenable even the second line. Aside from the capture of the Narew lines, however, the Germans and Austrians appear to have made littfe progress.

The forces opposed to Meckenaen are fighting desperately to retard his further advance and to give their comrades to the north opportunity to withdraw with all their snppliea. Lon don experts believe the chances favor a withdrawal hut it will take prob ably a^week before the situation will be decided. From the region of Ivangorod the army of the Austrian archduke, Jos eph Ferdinand, is pressing forward and the troops of Gen. von Woyrsch are driving ahead from the Vistula against the Russian lines of retreat.

If proceedings begun in the Su preme Court of this state to prevent the prohibition referendum election on September 14 falls an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States may knock out the referen dum. - * . An application was made at Lau rens Friday, according to The News and Courier, by Cole L. Blease, for mer governor of South Carolina, and Frank G. Thompson of Columbia, at torneys representing John Harry Chappel, a taypayer, of Newberry, asking for an injunction preventing the referendum. Associate Justice Watts, before whom the application was made, refused to sign an injunc tion, but referred the matter to the whole Supreme Court and set August 20 in Columbia for that body to hear the question and to pass on the mat ter. Significance is attached to that sec tion in the petition asking for the injunction in that it is alleged the referendum Is in vlolaton both of the constitution of the state and of the United States. Observers see in the federal question an opening to take the case to the United States Supreme Court should the anti-pro hibitionists lose out in the state courts. This could be done either Jby get ting a writ of error from the chief justice of the slat* Supreme 4’ourt or by applying to a United States Su preme Court Justice for a writ of error and a temporary injunction pre venting the referendum, pending the hearing of the appeal. The nearness of the referendum election would prevent the Supreme Court of the United States from hear ing the matter until after the date for the election would have passed, and the antl-prohlbltionlsta would have won their point ever^if the high est tribunal would later declre that the referendum was regular. If the date for the election Is passed it would be a victory for the antis and the whole question would be post poned until tie next meeting of the legislature. The contention of the petitioner Is that It Is a power granted the gen eral assembly by the constitutions of the united States and of the state to say whether or not the state shall have prohibition or what form of regulation of the liquor traffic shall prevail, and that this power can not be passed or delegated to the people through a referendum election. They also point oat that the referendum set provides for the winding up of the dispensaries In rase prohibition wins, and this they declare is legis lating on a contingency which Is in valid and unconstitutional. The general public thought the prohibitionists were certain of vic tory and that the antis were not even going to make a (Ight. and on every hand one could hear that the result was a foregone conclusion. The first move against' prohibition came Fri day when attorneys representing Mr. Chappell, a taxpayer, of Newberry, applied to Associate Justice Watts for an Injunction preventing the elec tion on the ground that the act pass ed by the legislature providing for the referendum on September 14 is unconrtiutional and ‘nvalld. The action was directed against Secretary of State R. M. McCown, State Treasurer *. T. Carter, Comp troller General Uarlton W. Sawyer, and C. T. Graydon, Zeb Hope and J. F. Howell, state commissioners of election for Richland county. Jus tice Watts refused to grant an in junction, but referred the whole question to the Supreme Court, which meets in Columbia on August 20. Mr. Chappell says in his petition that he is a personal prohibitionist, and expects to vote for state-wide prohibition in the referendum elec tion, but that he thinks it is unconsti tutional, and the election would be invalid, and it would, therefore, in volve an unnecessary expense on the taxpayers, rec ting that* thirty-five thousand eight hundred dollars is provided for meeting the expenses of the referendum. After reciting the referendum act, in which provision is made for wind ing up the dispensaries in case pro hibition carries, the petitioner says: “The aforesaid provisions and sec- Article 4, Section 4, of the constitu tion of the United States; of Article 3, Section 1, of the constitution of the state of South Carolina, and Arti cle 8, Section 2, of the constitution of the state of South Carolina.” Mr. Tompkins, on© of the attor neys for Mr. phappell, th® petitioner, would not say Saturday morning whether the/ would seek to take the case tf the Supreme Court or not if they lost before the State Court. He would make no comment, an4 only smiled when It was suggested that they j-ad provided In their petition for taking the fight to the United States Supreme Court by bringing in the federal constitutionality of the Rejection of Pence Offers Me*ns Continued Fighting In East—Balkans Simmering if London, Monday: Russia having rejected what, in England, is regard* ed as a bona fide proposal made by the German emperor for peace with a a part of Poland traded for Galicia, the great struggle in the east must continue, and as there Is no indica tion of an immediate’general offen sive in the west, the struggle of the Russian forces to shake themselves free of the, Austro-German remains the chief factor in the war news. The operations in the Dardanelles will be closely watched because of their possible bearing on the Balkan situation again simmering by reason of renewed quadruple entene pres sure on Bulgaria and Grece. Never before has the importance of these operations been more keenly realized in Great Britain and France than now, especially as there are many in dications that Germany plans to deh> liver her next hard blow against Ser bia in order to link up with Turkey. It is Increasingly manifest that Germany looks to the east for a set tlement of the war. By over-running Serbia she would occupy a very fav- oravle strategic position to invoke Bulgaria's aid in reaching Constanti nople along the main line. Th® ex pectations of such a move doubtless has brought about renewed negotia tions between the entente allies and Bulgaria. The Turks claim successes in the recent trench warfare on the Galli poli peninsula, but there has been no noteworthy change in the situation. The Austro-Germans continue to make progress both 4o the northeast and to the southwest of Warsaw and the Austro-Hungarians claim to have cut in two Russian forces after los ing the Lubiln-Cheim railroad.

Minister Discount Story. The London Morning Post declares the attitude of Sweden toward Ruasia and the latter's Allies for some time paat has revealed elements of a dis quieting character. “Emboldened by recent Gertnan surceases,” the newspaper aays, "the latent hostility of Sweden, which has never forgiven the loss of Finland, has become strongly developed. Con siderable preparations for warlike contingencies have been made in North Sweden and the Swedish army Is fully mobilized. If Sweden per sists in her unfriendly attitude to ward Russia she may rapidly drift into a war which would Inevitably be a great obstacle to her future pro gross.” The Times In a long analysis of the Swedish situation saya the war party has lost Importance and the people generally accept neutrality aa the wisest course. “Sweden’s deci sion to remain neutral Is as firm as ever," was the reply to-day of the Swedish minister in London, Count Wrangel, to the newspaper rumors of the possible participation of the Scan dinavlan kingdom in the war. “There Is no foundation for the rumors,*' the uijnister sffld, “and the suggestion that Sweden contemplates action for recovery of Finland la ab surd.

Whereupon Mr. Cothran called him “a liar and a dirty puppy.” The speaker was flabberfrested but finally said .he would not resent the remark as Mr. Cothran was an “old man.” Then Senator Earle arose and said, “I am a young man, Mr. Reese, and I tell you that you are a liar,and a dirty puppy.” The speaker tbok his medicine quietly. ' Bulgurs Demanded Cession of Cer tain Territory Now Held by Greece and Serbia—Reply Not Published Bat Attitude of Greece Is Against Return of Territory. There is much interest in diplo matic negotiations in the Balkan cap itals.

It is .thought, however, this opposition Why be changed when M. Venizelos returns to power, expected, when the Greek parliament reassembles in Sep tember. M.

Athens. Greece: A Reuter dispatch reads: “Greece will not cede one inch of territory to Bulgaria,” was the substance of a reply made by the premier, Mr. Gounaris, to a delega tion of Macedonian deputies who ask ed a statement relative to the pur poses of the government. In the negotiations which have been conducted by the Allies of the Quadruple Entente with Bulgaria in an efforU-to Induce her to enter th® war on their side she Insistently has demanded that to her be ceded that part of Macedonia which was award ed to Serbia at the cIototjT thwHal- kan wars. She also has sought to obtain at least a part of the Mace donian territory which came under the Greek flag in the same way. Macedonia was a Turkish province until the close -of the Balkan war. The region embraces a medley of peoples, the chief elements being Slavs, Osmanlts and Greeks. The Slavs are Bulgarians and Serbs. The sUtement attributed to Mr Gounaris is significant in view of the fact that the British, French, Rus sian and Italian ministers at Athens called upon him Wednesday and made united representations regard ing the political situation. Their purpose was to gain the assistance of Greece. Similar repreeentatlons were made by the representatives of the same nations at Nish to the Serbian pre mier. This was regarded as the sec ond step in the attempt to bring about a Balkan agreement so that Bulgaria. Roumanta and Greece may be numbered among the Alllee. Sofia, Bulgaria: A Reuter dispatch reads: "That the Allies should reply to the Bulgarian note of June, while the Austro-German advance in Russia is still unchecked, has created consid erable surprise. The reply, which re lates to Bulgaria's demand for the cession of territory now held by rival Balkan states, has not been made public, and all comment is purely speculative. * “Submission of the reply at this critical time is subject to two in pretatiool. One is that the Alliee are endeavoring to anticipate the conclu slon of a Turko-Bulgarian agreement It has been reported recently that Turkey had bought Bulgaria's neu trallty by conceding the Dedeaghatch railway. “The second Interpretation Is that while the reply might have been made earlier, it was held so the Allies could be in a position to offer entire ly satisfactory terms to Bulgaria This theory is supported by the A1 lies' negotiations with Greece and Serbia regarding cession of disputed territory to Bulgaria In return for Bulgaria’s active co-operatlon on the side of the Allies. It is believed that negotiations are entering a decisive phase, although the cabinet has not been summoned to consider a reply to the Allies’ note.” . * Mexican butlawa and Texas Rang ers and county officers ware engaged in two battles Sunday night near Noriae, Texas, sixty miles north ft Brownsville.
