BRITISH INCENSED OVER CAPTAIN FRYATT EXECUTION KAISER'S CONFIRMATION OF DEATH SKNTKNCK Fl KTHER INFLAME PI RIJC FEEL INS. LONDON. July 29. A Maastricht dispatch has reported that the kaiser has confirmed the death sentence of Captain Fryatt, of the channel packet Brussels. This further inflamed Brit ish feeling. Press and public declar ed Fryatt's execution was cold-blooded and ferocious and worse than Edith Cavell's. , The Maastricht dispatch sad the Duke of Wurtemburg had wired the news uf the death sentece to imper ial headquarters assing for confir mation. The war council granted it: immediately. All members, includ ing the kaiser and General Von Falkehayn. voted yes. The British foreign office claims that the allegat on of the German government that Captain Fryatt had with him a watch bearing an inscrip tion commending him for an attempt to ram a submarine, is untrue. Offi cials of the foreign office state that th charge against Captain Fryatt must have been based on press reports. Captain Fryatt was known as a "pirate dodger ' on account of BtU success in eluding German submarines in the channel and North sea. The foreign office also has sent a protest to the American embassy asking for the immediate relea-e o five stewardesses of the Brussels who have been confined in a German de tention camp. Cryder Found Frost Every Night During Three Weeks Kange conditions are excellent on the west d.vision of the I'matila for est, according to W. W. Cryder. head of the Cmalila forestry office, who returned last night from an extensive tour of Inspection of the territory Cryder says there Is an abundance of grass and lots of water this year and the great number of sheep and cattle which have been turned into the forest for thei summer should have a great year. The rabies evidently has done I good work for there are few coyotes left after the ravages of the diseasi this year. Forest rangers are fend ing the forests covered with de.,1 coyote bodies. During Mr. cYyder's three weeks' visit in the forests there was frost al most every night and the days were cool The down timber is Vet, due to the late season and there will be IF GUNS WERE WANTED WHY DID NOT THIS ROBBER TAKE THE ENTIRE ZOLER ARSENAL.

U Is an nounced that General Hrusiloff has r.-niiK-t ill.- offensive and forced Teuton retreat on tlx- whole of tHe Kozel front between Rovieeh Railway anil IUody. The Russian citptiu-e of Itrody is again announivd. Tbe Russians arc rapidly envelop ing' Kovel from the southward. Bro lly's capture enaMcis the Russians to thrust northward toward Kovet. The Russians are also advancing toward Imberg. Tbe Ruwians have uro-gre-sed twelve miles in two days. Petrograd believes that many pris oners were taken around Brody. The Ru9Hhuis have .seized the railways to facilitate the advance. The fall of Brody is a serious threat to Lemherg and the rapid suc ceaful advance of General st)ralwa off's forces menace Trie wh4g JCUS-tro-German line of communication, from the north to the south. This Galiclan town. 58 miles north east of Leraberg, is a great railway junction and it had been expected the Austrians would retain it at all costs. The swiftness of this new Kussian stroke was unexpected and may lead to the capture of Lemberg itself. The Russians according to a report from Petrograd also have broken the whole Austro-Gerraar. front west of Lutsk. In this success they are reported to have capture,: two generals, 20,000 prisoners and 4 guns. The way England puts It: 'The ka ser is still decorating what is left of the German navy."
