TT PRAISES
LOCAL SCHOOL FOR EFFICIENCY
That Richmond's school system, with its superior physical equipment and its corps of able teachers, is one of the beet in the state and in the central west, was the compliment paid today by T. A. Mott, superintendent of the schools of Seymour, Indiana who, with Mrs. Mott, ..made a short business trip to this city. Mr. Mott served for twenty-eight years as head of the Richmond city shools, but resigned two years ago to assume the duties of the corresponding office in Seymour. "The wealth per capita in Richmond makes it possible to have the best physical equipment," said Mr. Mott, "and there 1b no better corps of teachers in any city for its size, than in Richmond. The school system here excels in many ways. Richmond's loyalty to its schools has been noted for fifty years. "The State Board of Education .this year will recommend pageants and exerciseB throughout the next year in connection with the centennial celebration. Every school, I believe, should put great stress on this idea. "To arouse the desired patriotic anil loyal interest in the state by the school children, I would suggest, it to be the study of local history. Wayne county is full of historical interest and has an especially great opportunity to be one of the foremost counties in the state in holding its pageant." Mr. Mott leaves this city tonight.
GRAND DUKE WITHDRAWS FORCES METHODICALLY Petrograd Claims All Stores and Valuable Military Supplies Sent Out of Warsaw and Ivangorod Before Germans Stormed Fortresses.
IVANGOROD
Continued From Page One. that lies South of Bres-Litovsk is indicated by the official news that Aus-tro-Hungarian cavalry is being sent northward at full speed along the east bank of the Bug. The advance guard of this cavalry army has reached Ustilug, a railroad town, on the east bank of the Bug, five miles from Vladimir Volynski. Ustilug is only about' twenty-five miles from the southern rim of marshlands. If (ho Germanic forces can get betwfpii the swamps and the retreating Russians Grand Duke Nicholas will have to deflect the course of his retirement toward the northwest in order take refuge behind the fortress of Brest-Litovsk. This would put the Russians in peril of the German foitss In Comiand and those on the Narew river front. Although it. is now apparent that the Russian commander was able to get his main army out of Warsaw, the fate of the Russian forces still hangs in the balance. Germanic strategy took' into account the possibility of successful retreat, from Warsaw and it was for that reason that General von Buelow was sent so far into the north. A successful encircling movement would leave Petrograd, exposed and there would be no serious bar to the occupation of the Russian capital itself by the victorious soldiers of the two Teutonic empires.
PLANS
Continued From Fage One.
n.afs assembled with Secretary of State Laming this afternoon. It was understood that the original plan to give the factions one last chance to agree on a peace program would be carried out. The report that Carranza was pre-, paring to move at once to Mexico City reached the department as Secretary Lansing was getting ready for the conference. Officials believed it certain that Carranza was driving his campaign to what he believes will be a whirlwind finish in order that the Latin-American diplomats will be im-

BY FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY International News Service Staff Cor. - respondent. PETROGRAD, Aug. 6. Warsaw and Ivangorod are , lost to the Germans, but latest reports received at the war office indicate that Grand Duke Nicholas is withdrawing his main armies methodically, and checking attacks by the Austro-German forces on both his flanks. Though the evacuation of Ivangorod was announced only a few hours after it was admitted that the troops left in Warsaw to protect the Russian retreat had withdrawn, the abandonment of the Vistula river front caused no panic in Petrograd today. The public had been prepared for bad news. The evacuation of Ivangorod was
announced in the following report
from Grand Duke Nicholas, under the date of August 5, (Thursday) : "Today, in view of the impossibility of Ivangorod sustaining a siege, all stores were timely and methodically withdrawn. "On a few lines of field works west of Ivangorod, our rear guards stopped the enemy's progress for a few days, but on August 4, in conformity with
cur general strategic plan, without sanguinary combats, our active rear guards blew up several concrete bases on which brick casements rested, destroyed the Vistula bridges and . retreated to the right bank of the Vistula." Anticipation tljat the enemy would claim a magnificent victory in the capture of Ivangorod, the war office issued the following statement as to the condition of the fortifications there: "In an official communique Issued by the Austrian general staff on July 20, it was announced that Transylvania troops had captured below Ivan gorod eight positions with armored casements and it was declared that the Austrian troops might consider the day the most glorious in their life. "The Austrian general staff must remember that the forts at Ivangorod are constructed practically entirely of brick; that they by no means answered the necessities of modern fortifications, and that in October, 1914, the enemy's attacks were repulsed, not on the line of the fortified circle about the stronghold, but on the field positions constructed in front thereof." !
DAY FOR FARMERS CHAUTAUQUA PLAN Chautauqua managers . announce that Friday, August 20, will be known as "Farmers' Day." and will be one of the red letter days through the coming of "Alfalfa Bill' Murray, congressman from Oklahoma, in the present National House of Representatives, who will deliver one of his inimitable addresses.. Representative Murray is a wielder of invective, arraigns folly and upholds the higher standards of living and thinking in his speeches. As a member of congress, he was instrumental in changing the new currency bill so that the reserve board would not be a politically created body. He calls his ranch of several thousand acres, "a patch of land," and nearly all of it is planted with his pet crop from which he derived his nickname. He looks a great deal like George Stuart, who has appeared on the Richmond Chautauqua platform a number of times to large audiences.
pressed enough to demand that he be recognized. Carranza Worries Lansing. If Carranza establishes a de facto government, many believe the United States would almost be forced to recognize him. That he is seriously interfering with Lansing's plan was freely admitted. It was thought probable that because of Carranza's proposed action the diplomats may want to wait longer before any definite program is adopted. The South American diplomats declare that inasmuch as the United States had acted on its own initiative it should have a definite plan to consider, rather than to place LatinAmerica in the position of seeming to dictate a program. Agency Presses Claim. Carranza's agency bulletined statement after statement in Carranza's behalf. His advisers seem to think the time opportune to place him before the United States. Secretary Lansing said today that Carranza had never notified the United States or anyone else that a member of the Madero of the cabinet would be unacceptable to him. Carranza has not refused to send a representative to a peace conference. No word so far as the secretary knew, had been received from him. One report in circulation this morning was that ,a big military demonstration is planned; by the United States along the Mexican border to back up whatever policy is adopted. This, it was said, is expected to awe the Mexican factions into getting together.
EDUCATION OUTSIDE OF CITY SCHOOLS
The educational significance of other than school agencies is emphasized in a current survey of educational progress just issued by the U. S. Bureau of Education. "Libraries, museums, and are galleries are unlocking their treasures, and seeking to establish a very direct relation to organized school work," declares W. Carson Ryan, Jr., Editor of the Bureau. Numerous other agencies and organizations are doing a work whose direct educational influence must in the aggregate be enormous. "Colleges, universities, and normal schools are going far beyond their own walls in carrying education to the local communities. Nearly half the colleges in the United States did extension work last year. The Federal Government itself is realizing, as never before, the desirability of a wide distribution of the many of the bulletins and circulars issued by the Government are now affecting directly the everyday procedure of education.
DENY ROCK ISLAND DIRECTORS PETITION

financial affairs of the Rock Island without giving the directors of that company a chance to refute the charge that they conspired to injure its credit by forcing it into bankruptcy. The commission announced today that the
netition of the directors filed six
weeks ago to re-open the hearing was denied.

SODA FOUNTAIN IN SALOON. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., . Aug. 6. C. O. McNulty, a saloonist, has visions of a "dry" Indiana. Rather than be without a drink dispensing business when the expected "prohibition" hand rests heavily upon the liquor business, McNulty has arranged to install a soda fountain in his bar-room.
CAROLINE LYLE DEAD

will be taken direct to Earlham cemetery, where burial will take place. Short services will be held at the grave to which friends are invited. Mrs. Lyle and her husband were prominent residents in Richmond prior to his death. She moved to Minneapolis soon afterward. Mr. Lyle served for forty years as justice of the peace, was city attorney and formerly connected with The Palladium. He came to this city in 1823.
MELPOLDER TELLS WOBK DOHE BY SOCIAL BUREAU
COAL PRICES GO DP
Increase in the cost of anthracite coal of all grades may be expected at any time, according to local coal dealers. The call of alien miners to the battlefields of Europe has lowered the production and an advance of 25 cents shipped through the western classification, is due. Anthracite coal annually, advances ten cents a month for five months after April, but an additional increase is probable. Retail prices are now, Chestnut, $8.50, small egg, $8.25, and stove, $8.25.
