RIVERS AGAINST TEUTONS
~ (By International News Service.)
CONSTANTINOPLE (via Ber
lin wireless), Aug. 15.—Turkish
- troops that are advancing through
Persia have entered Hamadan aft
er a battle in which 1,000 Russians
"~ were slain and 315 captured, it
was officiaily announced today.
Hamadan is only 180 miles from
- Teheran, the capital of Persia.
PETROGRAD, Aug. 15.—As the
Austro-German lines in Galicla are
shortened by retirements, the Rus-
Bians have begun to meet with more
formidable resistance, but dispatches
from the front continue to report
Progress at numerous points.
More crossing on the Zlota Lipa and
Bystrzyca Rivers have been won by
the Russians,
Announcement of this success was
made today by the War Office. it was
also stated that the Russians are ad
vancing in the region west of the up
per Strypa.
The official report reads:
“We are advancing toward the west
in the region of the upper Strypa.
Russian troops have won more cross
ings over the Zlota Lipa and Bys
trzyca Rivers to the western bank,
reaching Solotvinskaja (Sololvina).
“Our aviators raided the acrodrome
at Lake Agern, in Courtland, homb
ing sheds. An enemy aeroplane was
shot down, but all our machines re-.
turned safely “
“Caucasus Front—The Turkish po
sition at Sakkis has been captured by
us. The enemy is in flight.”
The Russian force that captured
Zborow on the Strypa River {s now
moving on Zloczow, on the railway
which joins the main Lemberg line.
Along the Zlota Lipa the Russians
are successfully attacking the Aufl-l
tro-Hungarian positions on the hills.
There has been no confirmation of
the report of the capture of Halicz,
on the Dniester, but many mlllm.sv
critics believe that the city is al
ready in Russian hands.
The Austro-German armies of
General Pflanzer, (General von Both
mer and General von Boehm-Ermolli
are under continuous pressure,
At some points the Teuton lines
have been drawn in until they are
only about 45 miles from Lemberg,
the chief objective of the Russians
in Gallcia. Approximately one
fourth of Galicia is now In posses
sion of the Russian armies of General
Brusiloft,

It was a sad awakening for Mrs.'
Marie Dorman von Klau, pretty At
lanta girl, and but 16, when she
aroused from the dream of romance
to discover that she was neither a
Countess, nor a Baroness, nor a Duch
ess—in fact, that her popular,
straight-away American name, ‘“Ma
rie,” was not prefixed by any of the
high-sounding foreign titles that be
speak royalty.
This awakening brought her to the
conclusion that Eugene Frederick von
Klau, debonnair young wooer from
“across the seas,” was “only an im
postor and an adventurer,” so she set
out in a dramatic suit for divorce
filed Tuesday in Superior Court by
Attorney John Y, Smith.
The dream of titles and nobility
and all of its incidental glamour and
joys was remarkably brief, the awak
eninr. with its crash of romantic alr
castles, coming at the end of three
weeks, i
Bugene Frederick von Klau, with
polished manners and the light of
love twinkling merrily in his eyes,
came to Atlanta several months ago,
met Miss Marie Dorman, and, in short
order, had won her hand In marriage.
The wedding took place in Atlanta on
March 1 last. The bride, with a new
name of foreign tinge, but minus a
title, left Von Klau in an apartment
in Nashville three weeks later, and
returned to Atlanta and home. Von
Klau was said now to be domiciled in
Louisville, Ky.
Some “Skillful Woolnfi.”
The girl bride sald Von Klau com
pletely took possession of her by his
“ardent and skillful woolng.” But he
didn't stop with ordinary American
love-making—the kind to which most
Atlanta girls are so famillar. Mrs.
von Klau said that, aside from his
mere protestations of love and affec
tion, he “dazzled and misled” her with
his representations that he was a
member of an ancient and noble fam
ily In one of the leading European
countries, explaining that the “von”
in his name could not be used by any
one in his country “except those of
royval birth and royal prerogatives'
It was a story with a real glitter to the
young Atlanta girl, according to her
suit, and the dream of a royal ro
mance was .overwhelming, !
As to the occupation, business or
profession of the young “nobleman
lover” his bride was not quite clear,
although she recited a few things that
might conform to the ordinary con
ception of one of the nobility. The
couple went to Nashville after the
lweddin; and took an apartment,

where ghe sald Von Klau lived a “lei
surely life.”
Before leaving Atlanta Mrs. von
Klau said the bridegroom ingeniously
explained the failure of the arrival of
his ‘“usually large remittance,” and
then borrowed a sum of money from
her mother.
A Woman in the Case.
The girl bride also recited in detail
an incident in the Nashville apart
ment, which injected into the romance
& vein of dark, deep mystery, the so
lution of which is still veiled from
her. She said that, day after day,
Von Klau received in the apartment a
strange woman, heavily veiled, whose
identity he kept secret. On the occa
sion of these visits the bride would be
sent from the apartment out Into the

Mrs. von Klau sald her husband
told her he could not tell her any
thing about these visite because of
the nature of his business. -
Mrs. von Klau also declared her
husband had treated her cruelly by
“mashing and squeezing” her arms
whenever she would remonstrate with
him.

had been read, the President went
into details with the managers and
asked numerous questions regarding
the claims that they made. He also
demanded and received answers to
questions that he already had pro
pounded to the brotherhood represen
tatives.
It was admitted by many of the
managers that today's conference had
been more satistactory tl:an that held
yesterday.
President Determined.
In discussing this phase, one of the
managers said: !
“Yesterday afternoon the President
did not seem to have any settled idea
of what should be done. Today it
was plain that he has accepted him
self as mediator between the roads
and the men and that he is deter
mined that ne will not let go until a
satisfactory solution is in sight. That
is a hopeful sign for us, although it
may mean that we will have to stay
here for a few more day. We can not
say what has and is transpiring be
cause 1t would be discourtecus to the
Presgident and might seriously inter
fere with the plans for settlement, but
we believe now that the President in
tends passing offer and counter offer
back and forth until he finds a way
that will meet the views of both sides.
The great danger, in my opinion, is
hot-headedness on the part of certain
of the labor leaders, who continue to
insist that they can not arbitrate the
eight-hour day. But the President
today seemed confident that he wayld
be able to prevent any precipitate
signing of any strike orders.”
~ One of the blg arguments which
Spokesman Lee and the other railway
managers used to the President today
was what they declared the physical
difficulties of putting an eight-hour
day into operation on railorads under
present conditions. If it was just a
question of working the men eight
hours and then having them stop,
they said, they would willingly accept
the plan immediately.
Freight Runs Too Long.
But they heid that there was hardly
a division on any of the raiiroads in
the country that the employees could
cover a freight run in eight hours, and
because of this, they said, overtime
would have to be pald to almost every
freight employee. And under the
rules this overtime would have to be
at the rate of one and a half or double
time, thus greatly increasing operat
ing expenses. 3
Time and agaln, it is understood,
the managers insisted they would
gladly give the men a sheorter work
day if possible. It was during this
discussion that the concrete proposi
tion to accept the eight or ninc hour
work day in principle was brought ap
and the proposition made that the
roads would declare for it if the men
would agree to have the manner of
making it effective, together with
overtime and the like, passed on to a
neutral arbitration board.
After the conference broke up word
was sent to the brotherhood represen
tatives at their hotel to be prepared to
meet the President at 38 o'clock. They
declared that they would hold no ad
ditional conferences prior to that
time.
“We know where we stand today;
we knew where we stood yesterday,
and we know where we will stand to
morrow,” said A. B. Garretson, of Lhe
conductors, “and that is on the prin
ciple that we will not surrender our
hard-earned gains of 30 years at this
time.”
None of the officials of the brother
hoods would discuss the proposition
of arbitrating the manner in which
the eight-hour day was to be put into
effect.
“We will have our say to the Preai
dent,” was all they would say.
Worried at Railway Attitude.
The President is admittedly espe
cially worried by reports that practi
cally all of the big railroads are
agreed that if the strike finally ma
terializes they will make no efforts to
enforce operation of trains by em
ploying’ strikebreakers. It was esti
mated at the offices of the Board of
Mediation and Conciliation that about
10 per cent of the railroads involved
would lose their charters by not at
tempting to run trains. At the same
time it was stated that word had been
received on reliable authority that the
railroads will insist that they have
met all demands for wage increase
that they could without receiving in
creased rates for the transportation of
merchandise.
“Twenty-four hours of such a strike
would cause more suffering than an
invading army,” sald Judge Cham
bers, head of the mediation board, in
commenting on the situation., “I re
call a 24-hour strike on one compara
tively small railroad. Half a dozen
important hospitals were without
milk, rates on various commodities
increased 100 per cent and great suf
ering resulted before that short time
was up. I can not think that either
side in this dispute will be willing to:
shoulder the awful responsibility of
bringing about such a state of af
fairs.”
Postoffice Lays Plans.
While the Postoffice Department is
stuciously avoiding profecting itself
into the controversy at this time, it is
known that conferences are being held
and arrangements for quick action
are being made in anticipation of a
suspension of railroad operation. It
was reported generally here today that
enough trains to carry mails would be
manned by soldiers if the men did not
furnish the workers themseives.
“In President Cleveland’'s adminis
tration there was a serious strike
which threatened to tie up the mails,”
sald Judge Chambers. “Opn that oe
casion the President_said that if nec
essary he would use the entire United
States Army to take cars across the
country.”
Although there have heen reports
thot the entire strike situation is to
be referred to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for settlement,
this is not eonfirmed by officlals. It is
pointed out that the men will not tol
erate handling of the situation by an
;fency not responsible to the White
ouse.

An amendment seeking to give the
Western and Atlantic re-leasing com
mission authority to enter inte nego
tiations for the sale of the State road,
in the event it is unable to make a
satisfactory lease, was offered in the
House Tuesday to the Senate bill to‘
authorize the extension of the road toi
the sea. ‘
Speaker Burwell offered the amend
ment, took the floor and led a fight
for his amendment. His only purpose
in offering the amendment, he said,
wasß to give the commission a free
band to dispose of the property in the
most advantageous manner, just as
the directors of a privately owned
railroad would have. He declared he
did not believe at this time the peo
ple would vote to sell the road, but
he believed the commission should not
be tied with restrictions.
Personally, he said he favored the
sale of the road. Th. State is not
getting 5 cents net revenue from it, if
everything that should be was
charged against it, he declared. A
study of the maps in the Railroad
Commission’s office will show that if
the N, €. & St. L. is taken away the
State road hasn't sufficient terminal
property to unload a box car, he gaid.
“The road has already been paral
leled,” he continued. “The anti-par
alleling aet passed at the last session
is not worth the paper it was written
on, and some day the State will wake
up to the realization that its value has
been depreciated to such an extent
that it will be worthless.
“It s absurd to place a value of
$20,000,000 on the line from Atlanta to
Chattanooga and think that an exten
sion can be built three times the dis
tance for $10,000,000.”
His amendment carried with it the
provision a sale contract sheuld not
be closed until the people had voted
‘on the disposition of the proceeds.
Representative Fullbright, of Burke,
opposing the extension bill, criticised
the anti-paralleling act. He predicted
an extension would be worthless,
pointing out the struggles of the A,
B. & A. in that section.
Representative Elders, of Tattnall,
favored the extension of the road
and spoke in opposition to any effort
to sell it.
Several minor amendments were
introduced. Representative Rich, of
Miller, offered one to substitute “any
port on the Gulf of Mexico,” for the
Georgia ports named, pointing out
that it would put the extended State
road in closer touch with the com
merce of the Panama Canal.
Speaker Burwell has just conclud
ed speaking when adjournment was
taken,

(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Aug. 15.—The following
dispatch from Berlin, dated August
14, was received today by the Inter
national News Service:
“The submarine merchant ship
Bremen is perfectly safe, but at this
moment she is a considerable distance
from New York.”
No Word in Berlin
(By International News Service.)
BERLIN, Aug. 14.—The Admiralty
authorizes the statement that it has
no reason to believe reports reach
ing here from New York that the
merchant submarine Bremen sank
because of failure of her machin
ery.
Neither President Lohmann, of the
Eastern Forwarding Company, nor
his assoclates has any news regard
ing the Bremen. They regard the
sinking story as untrue.
It is net believed here that the
Bremen will attempt to run into
New York,

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 15.—German
maritime papers have begun to ex
press fears that the merchant sub
marine Bremen has heen lost by being
caught in a steel net. They predict

A rumor that 50,000 bottles of beer
Wwere expected on an ocean steamer
from New York was going the rounds
among the Fagles today, but the Sa

to this.

The City Board of Water Commige
sioners has notiffed City neif
that the water department must hayg
sonie $1,100,000 for new equipment gp
Atlanta may wake up some ¢ay to
find its water supply cut off, and now
leaders of the Council are Planning
to submit a counter Proposition i,
the board that they get this fund hy
increasing watey rates
The special committee to which the
matter was referred by Counei] v )
meet Tuesday afternoon. The memed
bers of it are Edward H. Inman, Al
bert Thomson, J. R. Seawright, A,
W. Farlinger and Jesse W. Armis.
tead. - Some of them have discusseq
the matter in an informal way and
they have agreed that the only meang
of securing the needed funds ig tg
raise rates.
There is no question that the ded
partment must have new equipment
as soon as possible. The city's de«
mand for water has taxed all 110 re<
serve pumping facilities. Pumnps are
liable to break at any time. Seyeral
of them practically are worn out
Under the present budget system
the returns of the water department
go into the gemneral fund and then
special appropriations are made to
the department. The proposal of the
committe: is to set aside all addi«
tional returns from increased rateg
and purchase with it the new equip«
ment.
The water board has the author«
ity to increase the rates. It’s mereq
ly a question of policy, backed up
by an emergency amount of necesq
sity.
If Council recommends that the
rates be increased, the recommenda«
tion probably will be followed.
