The following letter was ;eceieed Ly the Exeetetive of the tfuron Coun ty Branch or the Patriotic Fund, and :e by them submitted to the people ' this, County through the local press. The appeal speaks for itself and should call forth a response room z those places en the County which have not yet sent any contrabutions to • the Patriotic Fund. We are now drawing from that fund over .$10001 per month to meet the allowances made to the Mamilies cf s4idiert, who have enlisted trona this County and there will be a continual increase as, other men enlist.

Up Without Hesitation :E" It Prove Expedient-,-Gernians Continue to Advance in Lite Baltic Provinces. PE'i'ROGR ,D, July 27,: Warsaw still keeps the Russian flag flying, but the opinion here is that the climax will be reached inside a fortnight. While the present battle naturally revolves around Warsaw, the Polish capital is rather a. symbol than the real object for which either side Is fighting. There are reasons to sup- pose that the chief command here takes the broadest possible view of the whole campaign, and will, if ne- cessary, not shrink at any tentporar) abandonment of territory which may be necessary to keep unimpaired Rus- sia's vital organs, her armies. Evidently even the fate of Warsaw plays a. small part in the strategical computations of the Grand Duke, Measures have been; taken in good time to prevent the enemy from de- riving direct or indirect military as- sistanee from any towns or territory it may prove expedient to surrender to hint for the present. In the Baltic provinces the Ger- mans continue to adrtauce in an east- erly direction, having Pone ewsh as their immediate and the Petrograd- Vilna Railway as their ultimate goal, As the Russians were threatened with losing touch between their forces operating in the Milan and Shavii re- gions, they have fallen back from the Iatter,. The military view Isere is that from a week to a fortnight may elapse be- fore a definite issue deciding the fate of Warsaw is reached in the gigantic battIe. According to the latest authorita- tive computations Russia is now par- rying the blows of 70 German. and 48 Austrian divisions, not including large bodies of the Landsturm of both countries in addition to four v Austrian cavalry German and eleven Aus i n va rY brigades. The enemy's force between the Vistula and the Bug is put at three- quarters of a million, of whom two- thirds are Germans. About four corps are operating against the line from Novo Georkievsk it) Ivangorod. So far the heavy artillery has not been brought into position against these fortresses, which cannot be con- sidered In a. state of siege. The possibility is that the enemy may try to engage the fortresses with a curtain of troops and employ his main forces elsewhere in the field of operations. Although the Germans continue "to advance towards the east in the Hov- no Government it is semi -officially hinted that they soon will meet with stubborn resistance. Frederick Rennet cables from Pet- rograd to the London Daily News as follows: "The Austro -German forces are suffering heavy losses on all three lines of their drive against Warsaw. "In the south von Macbensen has again been compelled to change his front. He is now directing hismain move against a position near Tre- vaika,twenty mile' west of Cholas. Every step costs him dear. He found it necessary to exercise extreme cau- tion,and is literalty feeling his way In the hope of finding a weak spot where he may be able to catch the Russians unprepared. "Inthe north, on the Narew, severe casualties have been inflicted on. the Germans. "In Central Poland the Russian one from Bionic, about eighteen to twenty miles in front of Warsaw, to Ivangorod is very strongly en- trenched." OCCUPATION NEAR.

Martin H, Donohoe, cormespontlertt of the Chronicle, in a despa#ds from Rome, says that in the two mootbs since the outbreak of hostilities against Austria the Italians have taken, over 18,000 prisoners. t?n, the other hand, it is computed that not more than 1.000 Italians have been captured by the Austrians on the Curse Plateau. The Italians have captured ieWe t- ant positions at Monte San oke, and have taker. a large number of machine guns and rifles, totter with a quantity of stares and •awiorrlu- nition, and 1,500 prisoners, ( This triumph eonsolidatee the peed- ( tions east of Gradisca and Mental. cone.

GERMANY IS ANGRY. President Wilson's Note Arouses Re- sentment of the Press. BERLIN, July 27, -The American note . was published in the Sunday morning newspapers.

CHICAGO, Jul.' 27.—One thou- sand lives were lost when the steamer Eastland, leased 'hi the Indiana Transportation Companyy, and crowded with 2,408 excursionists of the Western Electric Company, cap- sized and wank in the Chicago River here Saturday. Most of the rirlticas were citizens of foreign origin. The death ship Sunday night hod given up 820 bodies. Of the total of 2,408 persons on. board at the time of the catastrophe, 1,072, inoittding the crew of '72, have reported olein - selves as safe, Of the 588 these re- maining unaccounted for, it is bett- ed 400 are alive, and that 188 bodies still are in the river. Coroner Hoffman announced late Saturday night that he had oedered the arrest of every official of the In- diana Transportation Company,. which leased the Eastland. No ;Indty- iduals were mentioned in. the Coro- ner's announcement. The vessel is owned by the Chicago . St. Joseph Transportation Company. W. C. Steele, Secretary and Ilene- urer of the St. Joseph -Chicago Steam- ship Company, was arrested last night and locked up at a police sta- tion. The steamer was leased by the Indiana Transportation Company, whose officers said they were not re- sponsible for the licensing of the ship anct did not control the crew. Various theories as to what esiawd the Eastland to turn over were din - cussed, but without prospect of a definite explanation being reached until the official inquiries to be talten. up to=morrow are finished. The saost discussed theories are four: That the boat was overloaded; that else was not properly ballasted; that a tug that made fast to warp the Eastland from the dock started pulling too soon; that congestion of passengers rus_ing to the port side attracted by some passing sensation tipped the steamer over. The Eastland Baas equipped with water ballast. U. S. NOTE IS -SEVERE.
