Austro-German sources, however, declare this effort is a forlorn hope. General von l-insingen's Teutonic army, after a fortnight of territic struggles, is reported by Vienna and Berlin to have reached the whole front of the Zlota Lipa river, in eastern Galicla. Berlin claims important successes also in the west, where, in the Forest of I.e Pretre. the Germans are reported to have compelled the obstinately resisting French to evacuate trench after trench over a 1.500-yard front until a thousand prisoners, including a battalion staff and a number of guns, fell into the hands of the attackers. The Paris version of this is that after an extremely heavy bombardment along a front of one kilometer regained a foothold in the old lines which had been taken by the French. Both sides report sanguinary but fruitless attacks at other points. TURKS ARE MOWED. British Fight Desperately in Dardanelles.

Most of it for England New York, July 4.?In explaining the part J. P. Morgan had taken in the furnishing of war munitions and supplies for the European nations at war, it was stated authoratively here tonight that the firm had handled more than $500,000,000 worth of contracts for the account of foreign governments since the war began. Of this amount about $400,000,000 worth has been purchased for the British since the Morgan firm was appointed agents for Great Britain in this country, and $50,000,000 worth for the French contracted for within the last month, the Morgan firm having been appointed by the French Government to act in the same capacity as it does for the British Government. About one-half of the total amount contracted for in this country represents contracts for ammunition, shells powder and the like, but of the whole amount of ammunition contracted for only a small part, it was stated, had been forwarded to the purchasers. The remainder is being manufactured. The Morgan firm's commissions for placing the contracts was said to be on a sliding scale, which began at 2 percent and decreased in proportion to the magnitude of the contracts. It was explained that of the total of $450,000,000 worth of war supplies contracted for by the Morgan firm only a small proportion had been paid although advances have been mm-.c to some firms. This explanation was given to correct the impression that the largo purchases of war supplies had been responsible for the fall of foreign exchange. The low quotations were duo it was stated, to enormous purchases in this country of grain and food stuffs. _ PUZZLING PENNIES Here are some questions to ask about an Indian head penny.
