PETROGRAD, June 14.—As a re sult of the signal defeat of General von Mackensen’s main army moving along the railway to Mosclska Wed nesday night the attempt on Lemberg has been abandoned. Von Mackensen started his attack with three hours of terrific artillery cannonading, to which the Russians did not reply. When the German in fantry were within 200 yards of the trenches the Russians opened a mur derous fire and charged. They took the Teutons' front line along both sides of the railway and remained there. The Germans and Austrians at tempted to fortify their second line, but the Russians, pressing on in great numbers on the north and south, passed beyond. Crossfire by Russians from both ends killed 20,000 before dawn, when the Germans began a disorderly re treat. The Russians remained in close contact with them, continuing the fight. Prisoners from the other German army, which on Thursday was de feated at Surawno. are being sent through Lemberg incessantly. Cap tured officers for the first time show their gratitude because they are still alive. All the prisoners are exhaust ed from the five weeks' fighting. Part of the army of General von Linsingen is moving in the direction of Bukowina. It evBefttly will rest upon the Roumanian frontier, where the Russians are numerous. Heavy fighting is expected there. It is thought the Germans will cross the Roumanian frontier for safety, seeing their attempts to reintrench themselves are futile. The Russians hold the mountain roads, thus pre venting supplies from reaching them. The entire operations of the Austro- Germans in Easiern Galicia have been ruined by their distance from bases and the amazing vigor and mobility of the Russian infantry. The army which intended to recapture Lemberg now' is broken in two, defeated and separated from the army in Bukowina. Mackensen's army seems to be be ginning to withdraw to Western Po land for a renewed attempt against Warsaw. The operations in Courland, in the direction of Kovno, evidently are intended to ascertain the strength of the Russians in the north. Italians Repulse Foe Along Whole Line By BRIXTON D. ALLAIRE.

BERLIN, June 14.—The German Foreign Office, in an official statement published to-day in The Lokal Anzei- ger, announces that it will be weeks before the German Government can give its answer to the second Ameri can note relative to submarine war fare. “The German reply will be so exten sive, touching so many points in volved in the negotiations, that it will be necessary to collect evidence from many different sources,” says the statement. “It will take considerable time to get together all the material necessary for the reply, and it will be weeks before Germany’s answer can be given.” A slight division of opinion is no ticeable in the press, some of the newspapers adopting a milder tone to ward the United States than others. Britain Must Yield, Too. “The question now is to And a modus vivendi satisfactory to both parties,” says The Tageblatt. “This much is certain: Without concessions by England, no satisfactory solution can be expected. If the United States, in dealing with the question of how a modus vivendi can be found which gives Justice to all, observes real neu trality, then it will not be difficult to attain a satisfactory result. Com plete neutrality would, at the same time, best serve American interests. We are firm in the confidence that the relations between Germany and the United States will smooth the road to a complete understanding and so help righteousness and humanity to vic tory.” The Lokal Anzeiger and The Berlin er Tageblatt agree that the latest Amerioan note exhibits no sharpness of tone, but is friendly in spirit to ward Germany, and will afford an op portunity for further negotiations. “President Wilson’s note was more conciliatory than the English and their friends had expected,” said The Koelnische Zeitung. “The peace which Mr. Bryan preached cAn also be secured in President Wilson’s way, but America also must know how to show respect for Germany’s sacred rights.” Warned of U. S. Opinion. A remarkable warning against the mistaken American opinion is ut tered in Vorwaets by its New' York correspondent. He says: “Germany will do well to realize that at least nine-tenths of the Amer ican people approve the note sent to Germany and of the energetic tone of the last paragraph. (This refers to the first note.) ‘JThere is no question of immediate war, but the breaking off of diplo matic relations will be unavoidable, and confiscation of Geman ships lying in American ports, estimated at many millions in value, will not be unlikely if Germany shouTtf further continue to do w’hat is regarded here as absolutely unjustifiable criticism of American citizens and infringement of Ameri can interests.” The waiter further warns against placing any reliance on German- American or Irish-American opinion. Most Irish, he says, become thor oughly Americanized, and are above all practical politicians As for Her mans, “those who live here do not leave their own country because they had been too happy there, and they remain in the United .States, as they are better off and find conditions here better suited to their taste.” These Figures Tell Story of Chicago's Big Trolley Strike T OTAL employee, of surface and elevated lines on strike, 14,000.

C. Smith, alias C. C. Edwards, of Augusta, told the beat policeman Monday that his hu miliation as a victim was so great that he w’ould not go to police court to testify against Smith, so the prosecution rested largely on two young women—Miss Lena Wittig and Miss Evanda Henderson, cashiers in a book store and a down town restaurant, respectively. Incidentally! Smith's suavity disap peared as the charges piled up. and he was in a state of collapse as Judge John son fined him $50 and put him under $1,000 bond. Adding to his embarrass ment, Bert ill ion Expert M. J. Wright asked him for his picture for the police department's art gallery, and promised to send copies to .the leading cities of America. Smith is alleged to have visited nu merous persons in stores with a $10 bill in his pocket. Buying a small article, according to the charge, he would pass over the bill, and then discover that h© had smaller change. Seeing so much money and confused through carrying so many figures in the head, the store officials would usually lose a $5 bill as Smith bowed his way *out, with a smile. Policeman Guy Lindsey placed Smith under arrest, and several identified him. WORKERS LK North Dakota Gets Snowfall Foot Deep (By International News Service.) STURGIS, S. DAK., June 14 —Snow fell here to-dav. the fall ranging in depth from four to twelve inches. Rain fell continuously for twelve hours, and then the downpour turned to snow. (By I nternational News Service.) CHICAGO, June 14.—The first half day of America’s blgges street car strike passed quietly and with no se rious disorder. The city was never so Inconvenienced In its history. Hun dreds of thousands of workers were compelled to walk to their places of employment, other thousands rode to work in every conceivable makeshift vehicle capable of traveling on wheel®, the steam roads carried all the pas sengers their scores of extra trains could carry, and many hundreds re mained at home, not caring to brave the hard rain. On the, South Side branch of the elevated lines, five car trains were operated at fifteen-minute intervals. Officials of the line intended to con tinue running trains without passen gers until dark. The only cars run on the surface lines were United States mlal cars, which were not interfered with. Chief Wants 1,000 More Police. Officials of the surface lines issued a statement at noon in which they said strikebreakers would be put to work and cars would be operated as quickly as arraugements could be per fected. Chief of Police Healey, w'ho fears trouble when the lines begin to carry passengers, has prepared a report to the City Council asking an appropria tion, that he might employ 1,000 spe cial policemen for duty. The strike of the carmen, who are demanding more pay and improved w'orking conditions, was officially called at midnight, but the last car was not run into the barns until five hours later. The strike order called out 14,000 conductors, motormen and elevated guards. Schools Not Closed. The public schools were not closed to-day, although 3,000 teachers were forced to find some means of reaching their schoolrooms. The telephone com panies, guarding against a possible .shutting down of their downtown ex changes, held 700 eirls at the hotels. ANDREWS ORATOR AT MACON. MACON. June 14. Walter P.

Dr. Broughton Will Score Bryan Dr. Len G. Broughton, pastor bf the First Baptist Church of Knoxville, former pastor of the Baptist Taber nacle, and of Christ Church, London, announced Monday on his arrival in Atlanta that at his lecture Monday night at the tabernacle he will roast William Jennings Bryan to a turn for his conduct following his resignation as Secretary of .State. I*r Broughton declared that Mr. Bryan is guilty of little short of treason, and that he will be rebuked by the American people like no citizen or public official was ever rebuked. “Mr Bryan comes in the field of out vision because he has misconceived the meaning of statesmanship and done himself, his administration and his country an irreparable wrong,” as serted Dr. Broughton. "He had a right to resign as Secretary of State, but certainly there can be no honor, Jus tice or patriotism in his going to the country to discredit the President and weaken his leadership in an hour when everything is involved in the loyalty of the nation. “Such a course is well-nigh trea son, and if I do not misjudge the tem per of the American people he will be made to feel the rebuke more than the man he tries to rebuke. “But our vision tak^s in more than Mr. Bryan’s platitudes. It takes in even attempt to sf» resent Christian statesmanship in terms of effeminate weakness and sentimental nonresist ance when at the door of the nation stands a madman and an assassin. “The church can be content with nothing short of the reign of right and Justice, whether it be in the nation or the city. “I expect Mr. Bryan to try to come back and keep his promise to go be fore the people. He is that kind of a man. But the people are not apt to listen to him. He should keep quiet, and if he refuses to do that he should be shut up. His vacation trip is a for tunate thing Just at this time.” Dr. Broughton declared that Mr. Bryan had planned to say one thing to the German-Americans and then had said another. “He evidently had intended to try and turn this class against the President, but on second thought asked for support. This coun try has been given a great black eye abroad, where we. were already re garded as a nation of shopkeepers, willing to sell anything for the dollar. But Europe will find out that Is net true.’* At the train to meet Dr. Brough ton were his brother. Dr. Joseph Broughton; Dr. J. L. White, pastor of the Tabernacle, and others. A large crowd is expected to hear his lecture. School Board Meets To Elect Teachers' The Board of Education met Mon day afternoon for the purpose of electing a teaching force for the com ing year.

Members of the Board still were undecided, it was said, whether to name an iassistant superintendent until M. L. Brittain, State Superin tendent of Schools, has announced his decision on the offer of the superin tendency. It is likely this place will be left open for the time being, though W. F.

Yeomans, Who JsAssistingFrank’s Counsel in Appeal CHIEF FILES Chief Beavers formally joined the Issue between himself and Chief Lan- ford Monday when he filed charges before the Police Commission against the head of the detective department. The step assures a thorough probe of the friction between these two polioe heads which has been a cause, of much comment by Police Commis sioners for several months At the same time the charges are taken up, a special meeting of the. Po lice Commission having been desig nated for the purpose for Tuesday night, the report of the investigating committee branding Chief Beavers’ I administration of the department as inefficient will be considered. This report touches on the lack of co-op eration between the two chiefs, and J the trial of Chief Lanford and the action on the report likely will merge Into a single issue. • The opinion is general in political circles that the row between Chief Beavers and Chief Lanford will result In one or the other, and probably both of them, being deposed. Back of the report and of the controversy is thee broad question of efficiency of, the police. There is a strong dispo sition among some of the commis sioners to bring about a general reor ganization of the department. The specific charges Chief Beavers will bring against Chief lanford will be the sworn testimony of Sergeant S. J. Roberts that Chief Lanford used abusive language to him over the telephone. The clash between these two officers was a result of a con flict of teh authority of the two branches of the department. Many affidavits have been prepared for presentation which will show that there have been many simillar clash es. Certain of the police officers, whose cause Chief eBavers has espoused, will endeavor to prove mis management against the detective chief. But Chief Beavers is the head of the whole department and responsible for its discipline and efficiency. The supporters of Chief Lanford”will en deavor to place on him the blame for any irregularities. lift Of F w * I & Lzh. , , £ lHi>: : 3 *J • «?fi I ft'" 7 ' ' v. - - / % r*.

Taft Laughs at Self As Bryan's Successor ALBANY, N. Y., June 14—Ex-Pres ident Taft, w'ho appeared here before a constitutional convention commit tee, declined to dlscu-ss the note to Germany. He laughed loudly w'hen someone suggested him as a possible successor to William Jennings Bryan as Secre tary of State. This has been an evening filled with humor,” he said, "so why not txui u. wuh & ioJ*e2" After listening to the argument ort Solicitor Hugh Dorsey that the sen* tence of the court be carried out and a plea by Dr. C. B. Wilmer, of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, who urged com* mutation. Governor Slaton, beforo whom the hearing on the appeal of Leo M. Frank for mercy w'as resumed Monday morning, ordered a recess at 1 o’clock Monday afternoon until 2:30 o’clock, and announced that he would go to the National Pencil Factory on South Forsyth street and inspect the scene of the slaying of Mary Phagan, to*acf^naint himself with the physical details of the crime. Accompanied by attorneys for the defense and representatives of the Solicitor's office, the Governor a few minutes later began a. thorough in spection of the factory, paying par ticular attention to the metal room, where, the State contended, the crime was committed, and the basement, where the body was found. The ele vator, over the working of whicl\ there has been much controversy, also was closely scrutinized by the Gov ernor. Dorsey Speaks Three Hours. Solicitor Dorsey closed his argu ment at about 1 o’clock, taking nearly three hours to present his protest, against commutation of Frank’s sen tence. He reviewed the trial evidence in detail, hut brought out nothing new, as he had intimated he would do. He argued that the evidence plainly convicted Frank and that without the testimony of the negro Jim Conley the verdict w'ould have been the same. Dr. Wilmer appeared at the hear ing shortly after it started .and asked that he he given a short time for a plea for commutation. To this the Governor agreed, and Solicitor Dorsey gave way a few minutes for the minister to speak. Dr Wilmer urged that mercy he shown Frank as a question of morality, if for no other reason. It was announced that State Sena tor C E. McGregor, of Warrenton, Ga., who was to have appeared and argued against interference with the death sentence, would be unable to come to Atlanta This left Mr. Dorsey as the only speaker against commuta tion scheduled. Hands in Petitions. The hearing opened at 9:20 o’clock. Mr. Dorsey opened by handing the Governor some copies of petitions, which he stated he had received, and presented by request. , Mr. Dorsey expressed disappoint ment over the defense resting their case on certain points, and not going into the case in detail, thereby in- cumbering hint with work of going into details. He stated that there were many additional matters w’hich showed that Frank was guilty, whicty they never touched. Mr Dorsey out lined these points, which he proposed to argue first: Was the defendant given a fair trial? The contentioy? of the defense, which is the basis for executive clemency, w-hich are: The defendant was not accorded a fair trial; the evidence did not show guilt beyond a doubt; Judge Roan w r as not convinced of Frank’s guilt. Noise Was Natural. Mr. Dorsey spoke of the noise and confusion in the courtroom, at the time of Frank's trial, and stated that this w’as natural to expect, from those interested in the case. He cited the point that the defense did not protest, or move for a new’ trial, at the time, on this ground. Mr. Dorsey said: “While Judge Roan may or may not have doubted Frank’s guilt, he did not state that he had not had a fair trial. On the con trary, he did state that Frank had had a fair trial, and that the noise in the courtroom at the time of the trial was not such as to impugn the fairness of the trial. Record Shows No Outcry. “The fact is that the record before Judge Roan and the Supreme Court show's that there w'as no outcry against Frank; that no one offered to do him bodily harm. There was no outcry against the court. Its officers or any person, as stated In newspa pers from coast to coast, and was ab solutely false. "■max Ao&a ooiiBisd ilia idea, oi
