PETROGRAD, July 25. The Russian
Guards Corps, defending Tarnapol, re
treated, unpressed by the enemy, said
the. official statement tonight, but the
1'robna jensky and Semoszky regiments
remain faithful and are fighting south
cast of Tarnapol.
In thes treets of Stanlalau there are
stubborn bayonet engagements. The
populace threw grenades on the retir
ing Russian troops.
A report of the general staff of the
Rumanian army received here today
says:
"In the South Carpathians troops
under General Rofoza Averesco
assumed the offensive and occupied the
villages of Meresci and Volochany and
captured several hundred prisoners and
19 guns, including some heavy ones.
"VV'e owe this success to the skillful
maneuvering and close co-operation of
the Rumanian and Russian forces and
also to the vigorous activity of our
allied artillery.
Remnant of Batteries Wins.
"The powerfully organized enemy
line has been broken on an extensive
front. The bravery and devotion of
the troops was incomparable. Anions
other incidents one battery lost its en
tire personnel except seven men. who
continued firing without cessation, and
finally silenced the enemy's fire. Lieutenant-General
Stcherbatcheff, com
mander of the Russian forces in
Rumania, decorated all these men with
the St. George's cross."
The present line of the southwestern
front is approximately that occupied
after General Brussiloffs drive last
' Summer, except Tarnopol, where the
enemy succeeded in pushing further
into Russian territory.
The Germans chose the Junction point
of the Seventh and Kleventh armies
for beginning their offensive, the first
llow being struck between Zboroff and
l'ekabo on a 20-mile front. Without
great effort, as is admitted in the Rus
fcian official communications, they pur
sued their advance to the line of the
Sereth. This uncovering of the Rus
sian positions south of Tarnopol
forced a retirement all along the
diagonal line southwestwaxd, cutting
the Strypa and Zlota Llpa to Halicz and
the Lomnica.
Death Penalty Urged.
One of the first results has been a
Central agitation for the restoration
of the death penalty for Insubordina
tion in the army and for treasonable
conduct on the part of agitators. Gen
eral Korniloff, commander on the
southwest front, lias issued order to
all subordinate commanders to open
fire on deserters and troops 'refusing
to obey orders. Premier Kerensky has
sanctioned the eflort to restore disci
pline. Many Maximalists, to whose
agitation the demoralization of the
troops is directly attributed, have been
iirrested.

Visit to America of Islili Commis
sion Xot for Purpose of Dis
cussing Chinese Question.
TOKIO, July 1. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) Viscount Kiku
jiro Ishii and other Japanese, speaking
authoritatively, have laid stress on the
point that the forthcoming visit of
the Ishii mission to the United States
has no relation to the recent action of
the American Government in sending a
note to f'hina.
The mission is purely connected with
the operations of the war, it is ex
plained. The idea of the mission's creation
came into being long before the inci
dent over the American note, and nego
tiations concerning it were practicany
concluded before the note was made
public. If political questions concern
ing China and the Far Kast generally
are discussed they will arise inciden
tally, ,
Japan Would Guard Inlands.
Viscount Ishii probably will submit
to the Washington Government Ja
pan's willingness and readiness to sub
stitute Japanese warships for the
American naval force now in the Pa
cific Ocean, including those making
up the Asiatic fleet with headquarters
at Manila. The underlying idea Is that
Japan, taking up the task of protect
ing American territory and interests in
tho Pacific, the American fleet would
be free to transfer to the Atlantic
Ocean, where it would be more useful.
A strong sentiment in favor of Vis
count Ishii taking up the Chinese ques
tion has arisen in Japan. The press
generally has been urging that the
present offers an excellent opportunity
for a frank exchange of viewa with
the American authorities.
The Japanese bnve rlalmed that they
have a special position in China which
is based on considerations of racial
similarity, geographical proximity and
economic approachment. A recognition
of that superior place is believed here
to be one of the great ends of Japan s
diplomacy and probably would be ready
to sacrifice immediate material inter
ests for eventual recognition by the
world for their special, paramount posi
tion in China.
Political Demaada Oppoaed,
It is recognized, however, that the
United States, free of foreign alliances.
is In a totally different position from
Kngland and France and that it Is a
very great step to ask her to abandon
her prerogative of independent action
in China and substitute a recognition
of Japan's paramount place, which
would be coupled with a practice of
always consulting Japan.
It Is not considered likely that Japan
would seek such a promise from the
United Ktatea, at least at this time, de
spite the Chauvinistic Insistence of
some of the younger and more aggres
sive figures in Japan national life.

tempts to claim the supreme military
command is in favor of the Krzberger
Schiedemann resolution. The Chancellor
merely declared that the supreme com
mand was in accord with his declara
tion and by no means said it approved
the peace resolution. We know posi
tively that the exact opposite is cor
rect and that the supreme command is
in no wise minded to permit the fruits
of the sword to be lost throush this
resolution when the proper time comes
"The duty of us conservatives now Is
to set to work to enlighten the people
as to what peace must bring the coun
try and to inculcate unshaken con
fidence into the nation. In this con
fidence we know we are at one with
tha supreme command and the Em
peror."
Under the influence of articles like
that in the Kreuz Zeitung, and with
time for calm reflection upon the lim
itations of Chancellor MIehaelis speech
the German liberals and radicals are
beginning to wake from the soporific
content induced by their apparent vic
tory in the recent Internal crisis and
the adoption of peace resolutions.
The Reichstag. Theodor Wolff writes
in the Tageblatt, accomplished abso
lutely nothing for the inner renascence
of the German empire. The liberals
in that body, he declares, were used by
the wirepullers to get rid of an tin
popular Chancellor, producing in the
process & simulation of parliamentary
influence, but even this camarilla
brand of parliamentarism disappeared
with Dr. von Rethmann-Hollweg, he
points out. and the Reichstag was ig
pored in the subsequent steps taken
Neither the speech of fhancello
Michaelis nor the attitude of the Keich
stag parties, continues Herr Wolff,
promises much toward the establish
ment of a popular democratic govern
ment for Germany. His hopes along
this line are based upon "the com
pelling necessity of events.'
As far as peace ia concerned. Herr
Wolff expresses donht whether th
Chancellor's speech and the passago o
the peace resolution greatly hastene
its coming, as the speech was ambigu
ous and annexationists of every shade
now are busy explaining to the German
people and to the world outside that
the phrase "security of the German
frontiers." like charity, covers a mul
titude of annexation sins.

LQXDON". July 25. British troops
yesterday made successful raids east
and west of Ypres on the Belgian bor
der, capturing lit prisoners. Including
two omcers, according to the official
statement issued today by the British
w ar otnee.
ON" FRENCH FRONT. July 24. (D-
iayea.j The furious attack of the Ger
mans along the Chemin des Dames sec
tor on the Alsne front has brought
them nothing but death and the failure
of all their plans to obtain possession
of the ridge and the observation places.
At daybreak today the French
launched a counter attack with such
vigor that they turned the Germans
out of the few hundred yards of
trenches they had succeeded in oc
cupying in the first onset and sent
them rushing back to their old lines.
The famous One Hundred and Fifty
second Regiment led the attack.
The Californie plateau was the scene
of the most furious fighting. The
Germans who had gained a footing
there were driven out everywhere
except at one small point which is
of no importance.
On the Casemates Plateau the resul
was similar. At almost every point the
French compelled the retirement of the
Germans. Subsequently the Germans
tried once more, but in vain, to drive
out the French.
The artillery tonight is at work
most heavily. The front line is as light
as day from the flashes of the shells,
LONDON, July 25. A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Amsterdam says a telegram from the
front announces that the English air
men during the last two nights have
bombed Zeebrugge, the German sub
marine base, and the town of Brugges
Belgium. Explosions and fires followed
the attacks. A submarine shed a
Zeebrugge was damaged, according to
the dispatch, and it is probable that a
submarine was blown up.
PARIS, July 25. The official com
munication tonight reads:
'The activity of the two i-rtillerles
was very spirited, particularly on the
Casemates and Californie plateau, in
Champagne, in the region of Moronvil
lers, and on the left bank of the Meuse
Everywhere our batteries very vigor
ously took to task the enemy artillery
There was no infantry action.
"Shells to the number of 567 were
fired into Rhelms.
"Belgian communication The enemy
artillery was active during the night
against our communications in the re
gion of Woesten and near St. Jacques
Capelle. There was grenade fighting
before Dixmude and artillery fighting
in the region of Ramscapelle and Rlp-
pergaele."'
Army of the east, July 24 There
was moderate artillery activity In the
region of the Vardar. Enemy patrols
were dispersed by the Serbians near
Staravina. 1-lvely artillery actions oc
curred northwest of Monastir during
the night of July 23-24. Calm was re
established in the day."
A Great Responsibility.
THE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children'
v is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies
for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any
injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been
for the past 4Q years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher.
What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their
responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter
their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappeaiftomorrow.
Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for
Fletcher's Castoria is prepared : could they read the innumerable testimonials from
grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments
of those who would 'offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried and true
Fletcher's Castoria.
