PETROGRAD, July 17. Russian troops are retfeating in northern Poland between the Orzye and Plssa rivers. They are falling back to the right bank of the Narew river before the continued offensive of the German army that is trying to batter its way to Warsaw from the north. The Germans have reached the Chiehanow front only fourteen miles from Pultuck, Russia's great fortress on the Narew, and only forty-four miles from Warsaw. That the German successes in northern Poland are continuing is admitted at the war office. The kaiser's troops are also making a successful advance in the Baltic region. The latest reports from Grand Duke Nicholas indicate that the Germans and Austrians are on the offensive from the Baltic to Bessarabia. Even in southwestern Poland where the situation has been quiet for some time, the Germans have launched attacks toward Radom. CITY TO ORDER Continued On Page Eight. the proceedings advised that council should follow such course in order that the bonds might be purchased without question. Another technical objection in the proceedings was due to some part of the street contracts being let without appropriations. The ratification of these contracts by the board of works and the reissue of the bonds under the provisions of the new ordinance to be passed next Monday night, will remedy all defects, tech nical and otherwise, and give the city the funds required. Because of ad ditional. funds needed the issue is to be increased from $50,000 to $60,000. As before the bonds will draw 4 per cent interest and they will be ad vertised and offered for sale as soon as preliminary proceedings can be taken. The bonds will be dated August 10. Interest being payable semi-annually. One of the city officers said today that the technical fault with the ordi nance would in all probability never have resulted in any difficulty or any question whatever as to the legality of the issue. "However it is better that the city should remove any possible objection that might be offered," this ofticial said, "and the only incon venience in ordering a new issue is the delay of two or three weeks that will be caused." At the time of the original issue, the Palladium called attention to the fact that some Indianapolis bond houses which had been contemplating the purchase of the bonds, had scented some difficulties because the ordinance providing for the issue was not deemed sufficiently specific. One of the bond houses that raised the question presented a bid to the city for the purchase of the bonds, but tacked' on a proviso to the effect that the city should pay the cost of attorneys fees in the matter of passing on the transcript. This the city of course declined to assume and the issue was awarded to the Dickinson Trust Co. This morning the board of works went through the formality of re-letting all previously let street contracts, expecting that by this procedure all legal objection to the proceedings might be obviated. City officers expect that the new issue will be purchased without objection being offered.
COLLAPSIBLE BUCKET TO SHOOT GROWLER FOUND ON HOBOES Joe Martin and Joe St. Clair, both white men, dropped '.; from an east bound freight train last night and proceeded to inspect conditions generally in that end of town. One of the men carried a leather suit case, an unusual bit of paraphernalia for the average tourist, and among other things concealed therein was a collapsible bucket, used In "shooting the
1 can." The two Joes proceeded to snoot a rew, using a north end saloon as the source of supply. When Patrolman Bundy appeared and informed the visitors that shooting the can was recognized in Richmond only as an "Indoor sport," and COuld not be earripd on in the nnun the two Joes grew snappy and said various imngs, punctuating thfeir remarks with laneuase forceful if not elegant. Both men were soon riding to police headduarters and the contents of the suitcase investigated, divulging more or less feminine wearing apparel. Martin claimed that this belonged to his deceased wife and that he was en route to the home of relatives. The men were fined for Intnviratinn tnrtav and during their enforced stay with tonenri steen, tne police will endeavor to find something of their past records. PICNIC OF Y. M. I. The third annual picnic of the Y. M. I. will be held at Beallview on the afternoon and evening of July 20. A prize win be given to the person do ing the best waltz and one-step. A freak and endurance race will be a feature at 7 o'clock. Dancing will begin at 8 o'clock. The picnics of the Y. M. I. are very popular and a large crowd is expected to attend. GERMANS TO PICNIC On the afternoon of August 1, a picnic will be held at Beallview park by the Germans of the city. The purpose of the picnic is to rai6e money for the orphans and widows of Germany and Austria. More than $133 has been contributed for the undertaking by the Germans of the city and a successful affair is expected. St. John's orchestra and the Maennerchor will play and sing. Speeches will be made by leading Germans. The orphans of Wernle Home have been invited as guests. COOK COUNTY LOSES ON PROBATE FEES CHICAGO, July 17. The discovery of alleged irregularities in the probate court by which Cook county has lost more than $S,000, was made public today. According to Clerk Cervenka, administrators of estates have withheld that amount which should have been paid to the county in fees on 30,000 estate during the last twentyfive years. Court action to recover at least a part of the alleged shortage was planned today. LIQUOR LICENSE. A liquor license was granted to Joseph McElroy this afternoon. HERE'S AMERICAN LOST ON ARMENIAN B. M. Granberry. B. M. Granberry of Montgomery, Ala., was one of the score of Americans lost on the Dominion liner Armenian, when that vessel was sunk by German shell fire and torpedoes.

VISIT OF BERfJSTORFF RELIEVES HIGH TENSION
BY THEODORE TILLER. WASHINGTON,' July 17. -After the encouraging -conference between Sec retary of State Lansing and Ambassa dor Von Bern6torff, Washington today awaits the return of President Wilson who hclds the key to the German situation. Secretary Lansing's admission that an "oral" understanding between the two nations is possible is the most re assuring sign since the receipt of the latest German note. It possibly forecasts the apparent fruitless diplomatic correspondence be tween the United States and Germany on the question of the former's sub marine warfare, and would mean that Germany, by her acts, is to recognize
BRITISH PEERS WORK FOR NATION

SONS OF ROYALTY IN TRENCHES
BY HERBERT TEMPLE. ' LONDON, July 17. The war has levelled all classes in England from duke to commoner. Never has the democratic idea oi the American permeated to such a degree the most autocratic of all nations. But the var has completely changed the outlook for everything. It is little more than twelve months, ago that Lloyd George jibbotting at the peers for the futility of their existence and as the most unproductive class in the community. Now the views of the Minister of Munitions, like those of all other prominent Commoners in Parliament, have received a check, for the noble houses of England have completely justified their ability to uphold the great traditions of their past. France and Flanders, Africa and the Dardanelles have levied an extremely heavy toll on the peers and their heirs of the peers. But it is not only In the field that the noble lords have" won undying fame. On the domestic side of the great campaign they have not been found wanting. For instance, a peer is working in a munition factory at 14 cents an hour. .Other lords are directing great ammunition and (armament works, railroad transport and great shipping companies, while a baronet and at least one peer the Earl of Cranford rha e enlisted as privates. The number of men of aristocratic birth who have served, or are serving in the trenches, will probably never be known. But some idea of the service which the House of Peers is rendering the i,:ate may be gained by the fact that already in this war, five peers and 31 he'rs to peerages have been slain This number does not include Prince Maurice of Battenberg, brother of the Queen of Spain, who was mortally wounded in France last October. In the South American war only four peers and six heirs of peers lost their lives and this over a period of two and a half years. The Prince of Wales was among the foremost in setting the noble example. Other members of the royal fam TURK WITH ALIBI OBTAINS ACQUITTAL ON ASSAULT CHARGE Mustafo Hamit, charged with assault and battery on Isen Boractoff, was acquitted in the city court yesterday afternoon, Mayor Robbins rendering such a finding at the conclusion of the hearing, which occupied the greater part of the day, and which was listened to with much interest by a dozen or more foreigners who had congregated, either as witnesses for or against Hamit, or simply to satisfy their curiosity. By reason of the acquittal the assault on Boractoff seems to be something of a mystery which no one appears anxious to take the trouble in solving. Boractoff was assaulted. Of that there is no question. His head was dented in several places with a hammer or some similar instrument. He was wafter into dreamland, and on recovering consciousness in the hospital some time thereafter accused Hamit. At the hearing, however, Hamit's defense was an alibi and he apparently established it to the satisfaction of the mayor. Everybody else seems satisfied, also, even the much assaulted Boractoff. City Statistics WILSON The funeral of Mrs. J. Mark Wilson, 126 South Thirteenth street, was held this afternoon at 4 o'clock from the home. Rev. Francis Anscombe, pastor of the South Eighth Street Friends church and Edward Bellis were in charge of the services. The pallbearers were William Campbell, George Eggemeyer, Charles D. Slifer, W. A. Sample, Frank Land and Dr. L. C. Hoover. Burial in Earlham cemetery. O'CONNOR The funeral of Mrs. Mary O'Connor, wife of Mike O'Connor, who died Friday at 1 o'clock at the home, 1101 Main street, will be j held Monday morning at 9 o'clock from ; St. Mary's Catholic church. Rev. Fa- j ther Cronin will conduct the services. Friends may call at any time. MATRICIDE SENTENCED. NOBLESVILLE, Ind,. July 17. Inez Burk, the 16-year-old girl, who killed her mother, Mrs. Archie McClane, with j an ax on July 4, today entered a j plea of guilty on a charge of rflan-; slaughter, and was sentenced to the Indiana Reforn school until she is 20 years old. There was no trial, the girl not even being put on the witness stand. the principle of freedom of the seas enunciated by this government. Indications are that the cabinet will consider solely the German problem at its meeting Tuesday. Whether the reply of this government is formal or informal, the cabinet faces a most important meeting. Ambassador Von Bernstorff's anxiety for. a continuance of friendly relations between German and the TJnited States is an encouraging phase of recent developments. The attitude of the cabinet members themselves at present is unknown, and Secretary Lansing, while discussing the situation with the ambassador, made it plain that definite action awaits the president. -
m n
0 m Q ily serving in France include the Duke of Tock, brother of Queen Mary, and Prince Arthur of Connaught, while yet others closely allied to the Rc-al House are attached to the headquarters staff. It was only recently, learned that Lord Crichton, the king's equerry, who was supposed to be a prisoner in Germany had been killed at the front some months before. The list of peers who have laid down their lives in their country's cause, or been incapacitated in action, is a lengthy one. On the other side of the picture there is the example of Lord Norbury, a peer who, tliough 53 years. of age, a month ago began work in tne fitting shop of an aeroplane works at Byf lcot, Surrey, and every day is wearing brown dungarees and a cap. He sleeps in a small bedroom in a tiny lodge adjacent to the works, which is tenanted by a butler. He takes his meals with the other workme nand puts in 54 hours weekly. He works on a lathe and the verdict of his benchmates is encouraging. Takes Work Serously. "Nobling," they familiarly call ihm, and they treat him quite as an ordinary workman. Sometimes he works overtime. "I am just an ordinary workman expecting and receiving no. preferential treatment," he said to a newspaper interviewer. "Shall I be able to live on my wages? Rather! I hope to save and I shall be a rich man shortly with 54 hours a week, bonus and overtime." Another notable example is that given by Sir Herbert Raphael, M. P., a millionaire with palatiol country houses and a fine town mansion in Grosvenor Square. Sir Herbert enlisted as a private in the Sportsman's Battalion and Lady Raphael regularly drew his "separation" allowance of $4-25 a week; handing the money over to charity. By degrees this baronetprivate became a sergeant, and when he accepted a commission as Lieutenant, he was appointed chief recruiting officer for the battalion, which has its headquarters at Gidea Park, one of Sir Herbert's country seats. REVIEW BOARD GIVES ICE CREAM SOCIAL An ice-cream social for all the employes of the court house was held in the county assessors office late yesterday afternoon.. It was given by the members of the board of review, following a custom which has been ob served for several years in the ad journment of this body's annual sess ion. Ice cream and cake were served to the guests of the board. Individual assessments on lots and improvements were made, decisions on the equalization of assessments on properties on South Fourth street be tween Main and A streets were hand ed down and also the equalization of assessments of lots on South Twelfth street. The Raymond Porch Shade company's assessment was decreased from $10,000 to $7,000 after a re-considera tion of the matter. COAL CONTRACTS Coal contracts were let yesterday and today when the board of commissioners met. The Hackman & Klehfoth company received the contract to furnish the coal for the Home of the Friendless at $3.35; H. C. Bullerdick & Son will furnish the coal to the county jail at $3.35; Mather Bros, will furnish one-half of the coal for the poor farm and the A. Harsh company the other half at the same price, $.3.35. The A. Harsh Coal company was successful in its bid on the court house and will furnish fuel at $3.25. CRITICISES CAPT. Continued From Page One. torpedoes which hit her almost simultaneously. "Reasonable and practical measures were taken on board the liner after the attack to insure the safety of passengers. No loss of life can be attributed to neglect on the part of the ship's master. The owenrs of the liner must be held blameless. The whole blame for the catastrophe rests solely upon those who plotted and carried out the crime. Life Boats Good. "Complaints of witnesses as to the leaky condition of lifeboats are illfounded. "No charge of negligence or incompetence can be sustained. The advice given to Captain Turner was not such as would deprive him from using his own skilled judgment in the face of danger." Lord Merry stated that the Lusitania provided boat accommodations for 2,650 persons, but the total number on board when the ship was destroyed was only 1,959. The total number of lives lost was 1,198, of whom 785 were passengers and 413 members of the crew. Of the passengers 124 were Americans and 35 were infants. Cites German Warning. Then Lord Mersey referred to the warning published in the New York newspapers by the German ambassador just before the ship sailed. In the vew cf Lork Mersey, this warning, far from excusing the crime, only aggravated it as it showed that it was deliberate and planned in advance. It had been said by the German government that the liner was carrying masked guns and was transporting Canadian troops, but this was characterized as a "baseless invention" by Lord Mersey. "The passengers apparently thought it impossible that such an atrocity as the destruction of their lives could be in contemplation by the German government," said Lord Mersey, "but in this they were mistaken."
ITALIANS CONTINUE MARCH OF INVASION
ROME, July 17. Another success for the Italian army which invaded Austria west of Lake Garda is officially reported. The Italians have occupied two more important mountain passes in the Val Camonica in the western part of Trentino. In the Carnic Alps the Italians and Austrians are engaged in fierce fighting in fogs and darkness upon the lofty crags. Upon the Isonzo front the Austrians are battering away at the Italians withtheir bfg guns in an effort to check the slow but methodical advance of the invaders. The cannonade is varied with night attacks.

COUNTY ROADS HIGHLY LAUDED DYTOURISTS Pittsburg Man Claims Road From Hagerstown to Richmond One of Easiest Riding in Country. Andrew F. Kendrick and family of Pittsburg, en route to their home from a western motor trip, were in Richmond yesterday afternoon for several hours, leaving early io the evening for Columbus, O. Mr. Kendrick said that Indiana now holds a front rank in the matter of good automobile roads, and he declared that Eastern Indiana in the vicinity of Richmond could boast of the best highways in the middle west. "I have been as far as Denver on this trip" Mr. Kendrick said, and it is the third time in as many years that I have motored to the Colorado metropolis. The good roads movement is sweeping the entire country and there has been a vast improvement in conditions during three years, notably so within the last year. From Richmond west to Indianapolis, the drive Is one of the best that the middle west affords, and todar I was eeree-
ably surprised when coming into Richmona irom Anderson. Praises Gravel Pikes. "On this route I struck roads that are somewhat awav from th haw travel. the general route of an auioists being the National road between the east and west. I found good reads all the way from Anderson into Richmond, but from Hagerstown into your city I found one of the easiest traveling gravel road beds it has been my pleasure to find. I don't know of anything that makes such rf good impression on auto tourists as good roads, and certain it is that those who hit Richmond on their travels, will laud the praises of the community for the splendid road conditions that exist. Your country roads are better than some of your improved streets in the city, though I note that there is much street improvement being done here also." r M asonic Calendar Tuesday Richmond Lodge, No. 196.
