EXTRA SESSION TO DEPEND BRYAN Opposition to Defense Plans Feared. f jy V nF5TPIIP.TIV ,crtARED Even Moderate Army and Navy Increase Is Opposed. BITTER FIGHT "PREDICTED All Democratic Leaders to Be Drawn Into Fray That Threat ens to Divide Party and Fig ure in Next Campaign. "WASHINGTON'. Aug. 1. (Special.) The attitude of William Jennings Bryan toward the Administration's programme for better preparedness for war will be an Important factor in de termining whether there shall be an extraordinary session of Congress to consider these questions. If Mr! Bryan decides to rally his peace following" for an open and ag gressive fight against a considerable increase In Army and Navy, President Wilson will not call an extra session. If Mr. Bryan decides to content him self with voicing his disapproval of the Administration programme as to preparedness for war and to take no further action, the President may call an extra session. Destructive Power Is Feared. This Is the view of the situation en tertained by Democratic politicians here, and it Is founded on present po litical conditions and the outlook for the National campaign next year. There is unwillingness among all fac tions in the Democratic party to give special offense to Mr. Bryan. they fear his power for destruction. They know that while on the warpath, he can collect a large-sized personal ion ow ing, the peace advocates, the little Army and Navy men, and some enlt;a- gists. and drive a 1 erne-sized weage into the Democratic ranks. Mr. Bryan Is not In favor of the present Administration policy of a considerable Increase in both Army and Navy. He thinks, it Is known, that his peace treaties, guaranteeing one year's deliberation before decision for war can be reached, allow time for this country to prepare for defense. Democrat Oppose Prosjremme. The Administration leaders are try ing to ascertain -whether he will ac quiesce In the apparent demand from the country for better defense and permit without a fight an Increase in Army and Navy. It is realized by Democratic leaders here that even with Mr. Bryan non active in opposition the Administration Concluded on Pe 2 Column 4. Sunday's War Moves THE anniversary of the outbreak of the war was passed, without the occupation of Warsaw by the Germans, which was understood to have been part of their programme. However, news of this climax to the Austro-Ger-man offensive in the East, which was begun in the early days of May, is ex pected soon, for what little informa tion is allowed to become known is to the effect the Russians for several ays have been withdrawing to the -i-est line, leaving small lorces to ngni i rear-Kuaru acuuns. so me main armies might make good their retreat These rear-guard actions have de veloped at many places Into fairly large battles, as the Russians, whose steadiness has been phenomenal in the face of defeat, are offering stubborn resistance to the German advances and delivering powerful counter-attacks. For example, they have pre vented Field Marshal von Hindenburg from throwing more of his troops across the Narew, repulsed German at tacks to the northwest of Warsaw, and driven back to the river some of the invading troops who crossed the Vis tula to the south of Warsaw. In the southeast Field Marshal Mack enscn continues his victorious advance. He has swept aside the resistance of the Russians and forced them to retreat along both banks of the Bug. The Germans have already passed through Cbelm in pursuit. Thus, on this front, the retirement of the War saw armies is seriously threatened. During the month of July, Berlin says, the Germans captured more than 93, 000 Russians between the Pilica River and the Baltic alone. The Russians, according to Petro grad, have stopped General von Bue low's advance In Kovno province, to ward the Vilna-Petrograd Railway. If Grand Duke Nicholas is to hoid the Brest line after his retirement from Warsaw, it is absolutely necessary that General Buelow's offensive should be arrested, for, should he reach the rail way, he would seriously .interfere with the Russian communications. It is not yet certain whether the Rus sian armies can make good their retire ment from Warsaw. Certainly the Aus-tro-Germans are doing their beet to prevent it, and have moved up strong reinforcements to hasten their encir cling movement. The appearance of fresh troops also suggests that the German staff will not be satisfied with the capture of the city, or even the destruction of part of the Russian army, but, should this be accomplished. will attack the Brest line and- endeavor finally to crush the entire Russian forces. Meanwhile, the Germans, who appear to have an inexhaustible supply of munitions, are lighting desperately to retain every ppsition which they hold along the Western front. ' They have recaptured part of the trenches which they lost to the British near Hooge, and are making an effort to regain what they lost to the French in the Muenster region of Alsace. An unconfirmed report comes from Rome that the Austriana are preparing for the evacuation of Trieste, and have already removed the machinery of the munitions factories. Frye Note Not Yet Received.

BRIDE FAILS TO MAKE WILL Indiana Law Gives Spaulding Small Claim to Estate. IGNORE WEDDING INCIDENT Maid of Honor Said to Have Caused Unpleasantness by Openly Charg ing Bridegroom With 5Iar rylng for Money. CHICAGO. Auff. 1. (Special.) Mr. and Mrs. Howard H. Spaulding-. Jr., are speeding; Westward on the Over land Limited of the Northwestern Railroad, en route to San Francisco, on the first lap of their honeymoon journey to Honolulu and the Orient. With half a carload of truiiks and bags they left Chicago tonight, after a day of leisurely visiting and sight seeing at their future home, and a day ahead of their original schedule. Bride Kails to Make Will. The change from their intention of remaining in this city until Monday night came after the break that took Miss Elizabeth Goodrich, who was to have been Miss Barker's maid of honor, out of the bridal party. The gossip, which declared that Miss Good rich had made the statement that Mr. Spa'jldlng was marrying Miss Cather ine Barker, the heiress to J30.000.000. for her moneys altered the plan of the bridegroom and his bride to stay In Chlcapo long enough to permit Mrs. Spaulding to make a will. Because of the provisions of the In diana law, under which most of Sirs. Spaulding's wealth is Iield. the hus band of the wealthiest iirl in America would have little chance to come Into the vast Barker. mon y in the event of his wife's death without-a will. Guardian Advlnes Maktnsr of VIII. James B. Fargan. guardian of the young woman, Is understood to have advised the making of a will because of the long journey the two have un dertaken The trouble, which resulted from the "slight misunderstanding" between Miss Elizabeth Goodrich and Mr. Spaulding, grew to such propor tions that the remarks credited by the Harbor Point rocking-chair brigade to Miss Goodrich, but denied by her fam ily, have had their effect on the Spauld ing plans, and they have set out on their honeymoon without the assurance to Mr. Spaulding of any more money than the law allows to him if his wife should die before making her will. Mr. and Mrs. Spaulding arrived this morning, attended by Edson Manlerre, of Chicago; Daniel Willard, of Balti more, and Mason B. Starring, Jr., of New York, who were among the wed ding ushers, and who boarded the train at Petoskey with the couple on Saturday night. Canadian Trip Abandoned. In the afternoon the party went to an apartment which they had selected for their Chicago home and which had been decorated in readiness for them. Although Mrs. Spaulding declared on her arrival in Chicago that they would go to St. Paul tonight, they set out for San Francisco and not on the Canadian trip that rumor had outlined for them. Mrs. Spaulding refused to make any statements concerning the Goodrich Incident, shrugging her shoulders, at question of it Mr. and Mrs. Spaulding arrived at the Northwestern station Just In time to board the westbound train, rush- Ins: through the gateway to their drawing-room just as the conductor's "all aboard" rang out. They will Du in San Francisco a while before tak ing the steamer for Honolulu. THREE AMERICANS KILLED Official List of Iberian's Dead Given Out at Queenstown. OT7EKNSTOWN. Aug. 1.

In May alone Cal cutta sent to England 18,000.000 bags. half as many as In a full year of peace. and to Russia 4,500,000. South Amer ica 'and the United States also have been large customers.
