Gen. Brusiloff's advance in the
south is slaeltening considerably, how-

battle in Voihynia and Galicia. In
neither theatre have his forces been
able to resume their advance which
carried them toward Kovel and Brody,
reapectively. On the whole Vothynian
and Galician 'front the battle which
began with the Austro -German count-
er attacks a week ago, is still raging
without either side making any eub-

STAKE TREMENDOUS.
Amsterdam, June 25. -The Nord -
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the of
ficial German Government organ,
commenting on the eastern battle,
says:
"There is not the slighteet doubt
that both sides are using their ut-
most exertion, or both know what is
at stake, Everywhere in the coun-
trice of the Entente our enemies have
been fomenting the opinion that the
Entente is prepared to carry on the
war for an indeterminate period. This
has never been completely true, Now
they are attempting to brig things
to a decisioe." •
The Koelnische Zeitung says:
"The enemy tries to hold what he
has gained and exerts himself to
ehange the proportions of the forces:
still more in his favor. At the pre-
sent moment, however, the Russians
are overywthere on the defensive in

apostlee were just as ready to present
their theme in Berea. When Paul
and Silas entered the synagogue at
Berea, they found themselves in a.
new atmosphere. Instead of ignoble
prejudice they found noble openness
of mind. The Bereans showed re-
epect to the commission of the
apostles. They were Jews who were
not acquainted: with any religion ex-
eapt the law of Moses. Equally re-
moved from listless indifference and
haughty presumption they were at
liberty to listen to the apostle's reas-
oning and to draw their own conclus-
ions. Their nobility consisted in
their reverence for scripture as the
test of truth. Paul did not desire
his hearers to believe without evi-
dence. lie encouraged seripture re-
reeearch. The Bereans did not rash-
ly or impulsively embrace Paul's
teaching. They carefully considered
it, prepared to accept or reject it, ac-

nation. They had a rignt to bear
the- apostle's reasons in eavor
of Christianity before they received

upon the reading of the ecriptures

for consideration was too grave for
delay and too personal to be honestly

scriptures and the established facts

poselble for him to force back the
liercach advance line and begin an

hero met with a ,certain measure ot
success, but at heavy cost, and their
fooling is by no means sure enough
to prevent their being dislodged by
coputer-attacks, which, it is believed,
the French will not fail to make.
On the east of tbe ravine, however,
the enemy made no headway what-

command the approaches to Souville

roods, Fumin to the left, Chattels to
the right, and'the woad running from
Vaux fort to the slopes ot Souvillo on
the centre. The last-named wood is
the ebjective ofthe Germans, for,
since it runs out in the salient toward
Vaux Fort, all their other attacks aro
subjected to a flankbag fire from it.

in this wood on Wednesday night,

"The five, six, seven kilometres

"My personal opinion," saal Sen-
ator Stone as he left the White House,
"Is that the situation is extremely ser-
ious. For myself,: I do not see how we
can avoid trouble. 1 am convinced
that Carranza has determined to
force the issue, and if that is the case
the situation created is extremely
acute. I feelenow, as I have felt. for
Live years, that the only way the
Mexican situation will be solved is for
the Arneeican army to go iri and
clean up."

Fatli000nd. left the White House together,
but declined to comment on the situ -
Tim plan of campaign which the
United States army will pursue in
case ot waf with Mexico is understood
to call for 250,000 volunteers in addi-
tion to the regular army and the state
troope. It is said to -night •that the
President will issue the call for volun-
teers 'within a sb.ort time after the
outbreak of hostilities, e
The campaign in a general way will
then be carried on in two distinct
phases. First will come the establish-
ment of an effective defensive destined
particularly to protect the border
mhile the state troops and volanteers
are being brought into shape. Second
will be what army officers describe as
the "cleaning -up" pimse of the cam-
paign, when all is ready for the clock-'
like advance calculated to speedily
subjugate the country. This latter
phase, it is explained, would probably
not start in earnest nntil the fall.
DARK NEWS FROM BORDER.

from many quarters to -day. The

weight to the reports.

Hun Sub. in Spanish Port
Raises a New Point,
Madrid Cable, via Paris Cable -El
Liberal declares that the visit of a
German submarine to Cartagena two
days ago raises a new point of inter-
national law. Germany has claimed,
it says, that submarines are not sub-
ject to existing rules, having been in-
vented since ethey were framed. If
this view is accepted, lel Liberal coe.
tends, a submarine should net be en-
titled to the right of an ordinary war-
ship to enter a neutrai. port, provided
it departs within twenty-four hours.
The newepaper takes the view that
the submarine wassent to Carta-
gena for the purpose of making a test
trip, and that, .the experiment having
succeeded, there will be other visits
of this nature. On this account, it
contends, it is indispensable that the
Spanish Government make known
clearly whether it considers a sub-
marine entitled to th.e treatmeet ac-
corded an ordinary warship.
The statement that the thirty-four
cases landed from the submarine con-
tained medical stores for refugees
from the Kamerun is received with
considerable skepticism. In well-in-
formed quarters it is believed the
submarine brought important docu-
Monts, which the German Government
did not wish to trust to the ordinary
modes of transportation.
It is also asserted that the interned
German steamship Roma, beside
which the submarine drew -up on en-
tering the harbor, ptimPed a supply
of gasoline into the eGrman submer-
sible.-
A Remarkable Concert,
• A programme of a remarkable con-
cert which took place in Carlsbad on
Aug. 6, 1812, is still preserved he the
cley archives at that place. The enter-
tainment was given for the benefit of
the sufferers by the fire which had
laid waste Baden and took place at
the Sechsischer Saab. The only per
formers were Beethoven. and Polledre
who played their own compositions.
There were. two pianoforte and MO
violin solos and several numbers in
whieh both took part, says the writer.
The account of the entertainment
also mentions the fact that one of the
Interested listeners was a "tali, elder-
ly man, wearing a great blue coat,
who tiat perfectly erect throughout
the performance, never looking eny-
where but at the stage. Thin was
Goethe." The amount realized for
the fund was about poo,

To him matches aee quite inconsider-

century ago that one John Walker,
an apothecary, of Steckton-on-Toes.
Engiana, found the release of the
smoker from the tinder box or the
live coal in the grate, It was an ac-
cidental spilling of a solution that
took fire which gave hint the hint;
and not long afterwards, in 1827, he
placed on the market hie boxes of
