A11STRIANS FACED RUSSIANS ) * Armies Fought Manv Days hut Gained Nothing so Ear as Appearances Went.?The Situation Still Remained Enchanted. Those who expected to hear nexvs A 1 week to the effect that some do ecsivo event nau taKcn place in trie groat war ravaging Europe, were disappointed, for up to Thursday and Friday there was nothing of any importance reported from the wars show >ng any decided .change in the situation. ^ The latest official communications regarding operations on western battlefields were much the same as those of preceding days. There had been fighting virtually all along the front, but without appreciable change in the situation. From the coast of Flanders to the ^ River Lys, on the Franco-Belgian border, much of which was flooded by the .allies to hinder German attacks, there was a repetition on a somewhat smaller scale of the bombardment which the invaders invariably resort to in the hope of breaking down the allies' resistance before infantry attacks in ) force in isolated spots, but, according to the French and British reports, all these were repulsed. The Anglo-French forces which have been holding territory around Ypres again were subjected to determined attacks, fresh German troops bating attempted to force the allies out of their trenches. Compelled to Fall Back. As was the case with the Prussian guard, the,Germans who made the latest effort appear to have taken the first line of trenches, but, like the guards, were compelled to give back the ground after holding it for a short time. Both sides as shown by casualty lists, wore losing heavily, but the Germans, on the offensive and so often enfiladed after success was nearly in tneir hands, are said to have suffered enormously. v The French Zouaves, who frequent^ ly distinguished themselves by dashing charges, were utilized again to dislodge the Germans from a position near Bixschoote, over which there had been much fighting, and according to the French statement, they again ^ were successful*. # r* ^ Fortunes Alternate. These incidents merely are examples of what has been occuring in Northern France, along the Aisne Va'i ley, around Rheims, in the Argonnc forest and on the hanks of the River | Mouse. First one side and then the | other gains an advantage. I at when all is told the general situation re Trained about the same. Reports from France that the Ger -.inns arc preparing to make anothm attempt to get through to the coast by way of Fa Bassee lack confirmation. In the east the Germans and Austrians turned, after retreating to face the Russians in East Prussian, in Poland, and before Cracow. Each of the regions probably will provide a big battle, but the most important will he that in Poland, Where the Germans are sending their strougest and best armies. In Balkans. Concerning the fighting in the Balkans and the near East only scraps of information reach the outside world In South Africa Gen. Luis Botha, com mander-in-chief of the defensive forces, reported the breaking up of additional rebel commandoes and the capture of guns, ammunition and provisions. The Earl of Crewe disclosed in the House of Lords that in East Africa fp.dian troops were being employed : against the Germans. That there had been heavy lighting was shown by the fact that the British casualties to date total 900. From l'etrograd, however, came the statement that a terrific battle of unexampled violence had been proceeding for four days around Soldau, the Russians endeavoring t? avenge their former reverse at this place, throwings themselves upon the German with indescribable fury and carrying position after position by assault despile the infernal fire of the Germans. Winston Spencer Churchill, first I i _ r i.u - -r?._ >?- ?ii luru ui mo nnusn aunuruiiy, announc ed that the British naval losses now amount to more than 8,000 men. GET TO THE CAUSE.

IMS WILL MAKE inpniiiTF APni nnv nuiyuniL ni uluui FOR FIRING FROM A FORT AT ^ UNITED STATES VESSEL. SO IT. IS BELIEVED [ Every Eflfort Will Be Made by Presi | dent Wilson to Prevent the Dnitec States Becoming Involved in War Last week, while a launch from th< United States cruiser, Tennessee, was passing within range of the Turkish forts at Smyrna on the coast of Ser via, two solid shots were fired at the launch from the Turkish forts. The American representative at Smyrna at once ordered the Tennessee to leave those waters. In relation to this incident. about which our authorities at once got busy, a dispatch from Washington last Thursday evening says: Although the Navy Department cor tinued every effort to get further report to complete the chain of incidents connected with the firing upor the cruiser Tennessee's launch by the j Turkish forts at Smyrna, nothing hac been heard early today from Capt T^nr?l/a?' *\w ^%?/\w> A - -I : ^ vi 11 vim /vviiucts^itdor jviorgenthau. As nearly a week was taken to gel the last message through to the State Department from the ambassador al t Constantinople, little information is i expected from him before Capt. Decki er is heard from. Yesterday Capt Decker succeeded in getting through , his first report of the incident withir a few hours. Secretary Daniels said today he would not decide on whether the North Carolina and Tennessee woulc remain in Turkish waters until all thf facts were known concerning the firing at Smyrna. Some naval officers have urged that the cruisers be withdrawn. Officials believe, however that missionary interests for which the cruisers were dispatched to Turkish waters might insits that they be retained as a moral force making foi protection of the American missions and interests. President Wilson is determined that the .United States should not become involved in trouble with Turkey anel felt that The Porin wnnl.i Secretary Daniels summed up his view of the incident by declaring he believed detailed reports would show that the firing was intended as a friendly, and not an unfriendly act said the Secretary. "Reports that the waters of Smyrna harbor are mined indicate that the shots were fired to warn the vessels against the danger of mines, which it night have come into contact with had it entered the h rb Another explanation advance 1 by Air.

The State Supreme Court last week refused to certify to the United States Supreme Court a writ of error in the case of Leo. M. Frank, under sentence of death for the murder in April. iDl.i of Mary Phagan in Atlanta, (la. Counsel for Frank, following the decision, announced that the case would be taken direct to the United States Supremo Court. Tho nnnlw'jition fuv ?i ?M>!f nf ?vi-rn' to take the case to the highest tribunal in the land was based upon the Georgia Supreme Court's refusal in its decision to set aside the verdict on the ground that Frank was absent from the court room when the verdict was announced. To Go To Highest Court. Frank's attorneys stated tthat they would take steps as soon as possible to get the ease before the United States Supreme Court. They said that one method of procedure to accomplish this object would be to make application direct to an individual Judge of the Court, most likely Associate Justice Joseph Lamar, to certify the writ of error to the highest Court. The attorneys said they have not considered an attempt to get the case be-1 for the Supreme Court on a habeas corpus proceding. It was learned that the prosecution | plans to go before the Superior Court: this week to have Frank resentenced.! Seventh Failure. The State Supreme Court's action i marks the seventh failure of legal efforts to obtain a retrial for Frank or J a reversal of tlm vrvdirt whioh wns vr>. ! turned A.ugust 25, 101 J?. Frank's execution was first set for October 10, 1913, but this was stayed by appeals and motions for a new trial. In March of this year he was resentenced to be hanged, the date being fixed for April 17 last. Proceedings before the State f Supreme Court, however, acted as a stay of execution of the sentence, i With the final removal of the case from the State Courts it* will be necessary to sentence the former factory superintendent for a thi**d time and again fix the date for his execution. i - * . WORTHLESS REMEDIES. Commissioner Will Enforce New Law Rigidly. Commissioner Watson is coming 1 down sharply in the matter of enforc. ing the new law as to "condimental feeds and rugs." This law was passed to prevent stock raisers from worthlesss "cattle powders." The law is hardly strong enough as it does not permit confiscation, but it is strong enough to prevent sales of stuff that does not come up to the standard and irom houses that evade complying with the law. Most of the dealers in the State have become acquainted | with the situation and will not patronize a house now unless they know r that it has paid the license for the year. ? - been officially closed, and that the api proach of the vessel caused the guns ? of the fort to sound warning to pre1 vent it from trespassing. The Tennessee today was at Schios - (Chios) in the Aegean Sea, from where Capt. Decker wired his brief reu port. Owing to slow communication 4 it was believed possible a day or two [. might elapse before he could cable ad. ditional details and Ambassador Morgcnthau report on his inquiry of the Constantinople government. { Protection and friendship for Amor { ican citizens in Turkey frequently have been pledged by The Porte, but since that time the United States has assumed charge of diplomatic interj ests of the allies with whom Turkey is now at war, resulting in conditions! * ( marked by delicate responsibilities.' Activities by some Mohammedan leaders caused apprehensinon on the part of Americans as well as French and ' British subjects, and that was report- j 1 ed by the United States consul at Smyrna to Ambassador Morirenthau. I When an investigation of conditions at the consulate was determined upon the Tennessee stood off at Vourlah and sent a launch on the way to Smyrna. Under navy regulations, it was said Capt. Decker would have been ' justified in attempting to enter the, harbor to inquire into afl'airs a< the | : consulate regardless of whether Smyrina port was closed. Apparently, however, he did net con tinue on his way to Smyrna, but be , lief was expressed that if the coi.su-1 late had been in immediate danger the Tonnesssee would not have h/i the' vicinity.
