Korniloff's Army Continues Its Determined Drive on Lemberg
(By Associated Press) General Korniloff's aggressive Russian army which already has driven a vast wedge into the Teutonic line in eastern Galicia, appeared today to be at the farthest point of its campaign for Lemberg. Having crossed the river Lomnica, behind which the Austro-German forces landed themselves in their retreat from the Halicz region, the Russians have opened up the possibility of turning the whole Teutonic line northward along the Zlota-Lipa. Battles May Be Vital Desperate attempts may be expected on the part of the defenders of eastern Galicia, however, to prevent the continuation of this menacing ad vance beyond the Lomnica, and the battles now, in progress may be vital in determining the fate of Lemberg and all the eastern Galician terrain. Today's statement from Petrograd shows that in Wednesday's fighting, which resulted in the capture of Haluoz, the Russians took 960 prisoners, chiefly Germans," and five heavy guns, besides ten machine guns. Reserves Thrown In -The reference to German prisoners made it appear probable that German reserves were thrown into the hard battle that preceded the taking of

in circuit court today on a charge of

Baker was arrested by Sheriff Carr
at Cambridge City yesterday afternoon
following a complaint from residents of that town that chicken stealing still
was being carried on in the western part of the county. ; . He was charged with robbing the coop of Harry Leister, who Is now in the county jail awaiting sentence on the same charge, that of chicken stealing. Baker declared that he was under the influence of intoxicants when he stole the ctickens
Haluoz, notwithstanding which, the Russians were able to take the town. On the French front there has been only local lighting. Paris mentions sporadic artillery activity in sectors of the Aisne and to the north of Verdun, with attacks at several points in the Verdun sector. The assaults apparently were not in strong force and failed under the fire of the French guns. ' . General Haig's troops in nirthern France continue comparatively inactive. There has been considerable air fighting recently in which ' the British had the advantage; and last night successful French raids were carried out by them in the Hulluch and Ypress sectors in Belgium.

13 MILES OF HARD

With the completion of the present work on the road east of Richmond. Wayne township will have 13 miles of
improved macadam roads that have been treated with asphaltum or tarvia this season, according to Road Superintendent Jones. This will include all of the improved roads in the
county. , Wayne township, in addition to taking care of its own roads, pays almost one-half of the cost of the upkeep of the roads In the other townships in the county and at the same time has the best roads in the county. There have been numerous com-
BOARD SELECTED FOR POLYFACTORY
S. E. Swayne, George Eggemeyer and James A. Carr will have charge of building the Richmond polyfactory. These three men were named the committee to superintend the building of the factory last night at the meeting of the Commercial club directors with the trustees of the Industrial Development company. Whether the building will have one story or two, where it will be, and all other questions were left to the committee. A one-story building will be built, provided ground enough can be obtained, but it may be necessary to make smaller floor space with a higher building. ' - The committee will make reports to the Commercial club directors and the
RETIREMENT OF PREMIER ERROR, URGESAUSTRIA 'Fatal Mistake" for Him to Quit Now, Declares Message.
COPENHAGEN, July 13. The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger says a communication from the Ausiro-Hungarian government has been received in Berlin declaring that Dr. von Bethmann-Holl-weg's continuance in office as chancellor is of importance and his retirement possibly a fatal mistake. The telegram was obviously dispatched before the decision on the Prussian franchise was taken, which is generally interpreted in Berlin as a sign that Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg would remain. The Lokal Anzeiger attributes the telegram to Count Czernin, the AustroHungarian foreign minister. The executive committee of the Catholic centre of the Reichstag, on the other hand, blivs Dr. , von Bethmann-Hollweg unsuited to conduct peace negotiations and says he should be replaced before an ultimate peace conference. ' Set Forth in Paper. The attitude of this great party, which is of quite as much importance us the views of Count Czernin on the same subject, and which have been repeatedly denied, is somewhat cleared by the announcement of the party organ Germania. While denying the report that the party had demanded the chancellor's retirement, for which "at present" there is no compelling ground, or that
it had an interest in unseating him,
Germania says the party considers

NEW YORK. July 31. A thousand
machine guns, a majority of them to
: be mounted on small automobiles, may
. be added to the defenses of New York if recommendations contained in the
reports of a test made to army offlo
' ials are adopted. The plan calls for
i 750 small motor cars, each mounting
. a machine gun, to be subject to call
on short notice, the other 250 machine
guns to be mounted on the roofs of tall ; buildings. Tenants of the buildings ; will form the crews of the guns on their roofs, while the owners of the automobiles would be expected to volunteer their services as drivers and
gunners.
Army officials, it was said, at first
, expressed doubt as to the accuracy of
guns so mounted. A test of a machine gun mounted on an automobile near
here yesterday Is said to have proved
the value of the plan.

VETERAN RAILROADER DIES IN HOSPITAL
Edward Cook, 74 years old, a veteran railroad man, died at Reid Memorial hospital Friday afternoon. Cook had his foot amputated last Monday following an attack of gangrene. He had been connected with the Pennsylvania railroad for about thirty years, working in many capacities. He had been watchman at the Sixth street crossing for many years. He was a member of St. Andrew's church and St. Joseph society. Cook is survived by his widow, Mary, three daughters, Mrs. Henry Vossmeyer, and Mrs. Warren Baker of this city, and Mrs. John Koorfen of Ft.

and materials employed are the best to be had in America, and the motor is a wonder. We, who know the Davis and have taken long rides in same, are quite aware of the fact that the performance of this car on the road can hard
ly be equalled, even by cars of fam-j
ous matte. Yesterday at the 'Perdices races the Davis got the first prize in its class and finished climbing a hill at the speed of more than seventy kilometers per hour. The official time of the climbing was one minute, two seconds and two-tenths of a second, which is slxty;nine kilometers and six hundred and seventy-seven meters per hour. Equipped for Touring The car was completely equipped
for road touring, with seven passen
gers and all accessories.
Mr. Luis "Azpeitia, representative of
the factory, drove the Davis himself,
and was complimented very much at
the finish of the race.
We know Mr. Azpeitia will receive very soon an important shipment of Davis cars, and in his salesrooms he
has already many orders for these cars, which have won for him the first prize at the races."
Doctors, dentists and sanitary engineers still are needed badly by the Friends ambulance unit at Haverford, and applications from men in these professions have a big chance to be nortpnted. savs a bulletin just re

Men In the first unit come from sixteen yearly meetings and from more than one-third of the states of the Union, says the bulletin.

SOLONS SHOULD FIX GAS RATE, DECLARES DAVIS
The state legislature should decide ou the question of reducing the number of heat units to one cubic foot of artificial gas, as petitioned by the Indiana Gas association, and not the state public service commission. President Bavis of the board of works said Friday. Bavis is a member of the committee representing the forty-one cities of the state who are opposing the petition, which also asks for an increase cf twenty-five per cent, in rates. City Attorney Bond, counsel for the cities, will submit a brief to the commission within twenty days. Attorney Bond had not returned to Richmond Friday. Richmond Not Affected. Richmond will not be affected by the petition until the supply of natural gas is exhausted and artificial gas is supplemented Bavis said. Present rates would be nearly doubled if artificial gas Is used and the petitions of the gas companies was approved. The committee, consisting of Mayor Spohn of Goshen, who Is chairman, Mayor Ross of Seymour, William A. Bond, ex-Mayor Fickle of Logansport and Bavis will meet within several days to form a line of procedure.

"It must be the thirteenth," Robert Toralinson, clerk at the Westcott said. But here is what Postmaster Beck,
and Secretary Frank Albus, of the Commercial club, have td say: "Everything I have ever done got a good start on Friday the thirteenth," Secretary Aibus said. Beck Says It's Lucky "It's the luckiest day there is," Postmaster Beck said. Viewed from both sides a lot of pleasanter things could have happened, but didn't. That's all. The same "111 wind" brought the price of cabbage down one cent on the pound not considered so unlucky by housewives. The price had been soaring for several months but started on the decline today. The prices of cherries and cantaloupes also dropped. Even the Red Cross society was hit and few women were at the headquarters, putting many soldiers "all out of luck."
