Rose Continuously and He Was Delirious at Times.
Frank’s Family Physician, Who Had Returned
to Atlanta Last Night, Was'* Recalled to
Bedside Today With Another Doctor.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., July 19.—The condition ol Leo M.
Frank is much worse, the' doctors announced this morning.
His throat is badly swollen and his temperature is 102 2.5.
Frank’s lamily physician, who returned to Atlanta last
night, thinking the condition of his patient warranted it, was
summoned back today .with another doctor* Frank was nerv
ous early today. His temperature rose continuously and he
was delirious at times. His temperature was highest shortly
before 8 o’clock this morning and then began to drop. At 9
o’clock his temperature was 101.
Dr. Compton, the prison physician, was not so alarmed as
the other attendants. He said the fever was to be expected.
The swollen neck itself is not necessarily an exceedingly
dangerous sigh. Blood poisoning is most to be feared.

wheels of the car were elevated and
the machine skidded, with the result
that the car turned over.

five miles an hour.

BIG TIME SATOROAY
(By Associated Press.)
London, July 19.—Attention is now
centered on the gigantic operations in
the' east. The fighting . is in full
swing in nearly every section of the
Russian One from the Baltic to the
Dniester. General von Buelow is
pushing the German advance toward
Riga, the northern end. The move

ceeding anything heretofore seen du
ring the war. On von Buelow’s right
von Eichom is being held up by the
Fortress of Ossowetz. ? To the right
of him General von Gallawitz is
pressing the attack on Narew.
There is comparative: quiet on the
Rewka and Bzura lines, and also
southwest of Warsaw. To the south
east the movement against Lublin is
in full swinfi. The Russians must
fight a defensive battle for Warsaw
or abandon all Fatsnd?"lt is believed
here that the latter move is likely.
It is believed that the- Germans have
little reserve to devote to the west.
This offers the entente allies a chance
to enhance their munition supply or
attempt to recapture Lille.
Another view i* that the best aid
they can give the Russians ie to open
the Dardanelles. The allies may com
bine in both attampts.

surgeon whose work it almost ex
clusively among the Cossacks has
shown ths medical world of Europe
a new wrinkle in the speedy and
handy healing of dangerous wounds
—especially when in the field and far
from hospitals. The means consists
simply of ‘applying to the wound a
thick coat of ashes—preferably made
by burning cotton or wool doth—
and then binding it up with the ban-
dage which every soldier carries. The
ashes seem to draw the pain from
the,wound, and to act curatlvtiy in a
remarkably short space of time. The
method, it -particularly effective ia
saber and bayonet wounds.
