ByEdL.Ken,

London, Aug. 10. Russian troops under General
Letchitzky were approaching the Bistritza river, only
three miles east of the Galician city of Stanislau, yester
day morning, according to dispatches from Petrograd
today. '
The Austro-Germans were expected to make a final
stand on the west bank of the Bistritza. If they are driv
en from these positions by the advancing Slavs the fall of
Stanislau and an Austro-German retirement nothward
to the Dniester is considered certain. It is barelv possible
that Stanislau already has been captured by the troops of
the czar, officials believe.
If Stanislau does fall to the Russians, the retreating
right wing of General Von Bothmer's army is expected to
take up positions behind the strongly fortified Dniester
river bridgehead north of Halitz. At this position the
decisive battle for Lemberg may be fought.
Delayed dispatches from Bucharest today reported
that the Rumanian war party,
of the allies, has been stirred
unexpected stroke in southeastern Galicia and the Sur
prising victory tJf the Italians on the Isonzo.
Pro-Ally demonstrations followed news of the Russian
successes against the Austro-Germans and the early
Italian gains on the Isonzo. - News of the fall of-Goritz
had not' reached Bucharest when the dispatches were
filed. - . ;
Alleged acts'of aggression by Bulgarian soldiers along
the Rumanian frontier have heightened the ill feeling
against the central powers. -The situation became so
tense that a special cabinet meeting was held this week.
A dispatch from Amsterdam today asserted Germany
again is uneasy over the Balkan situation, though satis
fied that Rumania will take no immediate action. The
chief concern in Berlin is that the allies will begin a great
offensive from Salonika while the Russians are closing in
on Lemberg and the Italians driving southward toward
Trieste, convincing the Rumanians that the hour has come
to join the allies and invade Hungary.
Austrian Estreating
Rome, Aug. 10. The Austrian avia

Pes Moines, la., Aug. 10. J. P. Mor
gan, who doubled his father's fortune
in two years as 'fiscal agent for the al
lies, has nothing on the Iowa farmers,
whose corn crop this year will be worth
$52,320,000 more than last year, accord
ing to the estimates of experts based
on tne rederal crop report.
This means at least 200,000 automo
biles in Iowa next year, perhaps 225,000
as against a paltry 175,000 this year,
only one to every 13 people. It means
electric light systems for prosperous
Iowa farmers and electric washers and
flat irons for the farmers' wives, it
means water systems and bath rooms
and trips to California and the south
next winter.
Hot winds and rust have injured the
wheat crop in the north and corn in
southern states has suffered but Iowa,
with 303,000,000 bushels of Corn last
year, has in prospect 305,000,000 bushels
thia year end. the selling price now is 7.1

Hadley is much wanted. The United
States' army wants him on a charge of
deserting and taking an army check
book. The police of many coast cities
want him on charges of passing worth

All stories from the scene of the dis
aster agree that it was a real cloud
burst that swept the stricken district.
The towns and villages are built most

barren of trees. The storm had a clean
sweep through the region and simply
flooded down everything in its path.
Looting was begun shortly after the
worst of the storm had passed. Rail
road police, local constabulary and oth
ers quickly organized to protect the
thousands of homeless huddled on the
bare hill sides. They were relieved this
morning in some localities when a com

food and much needed tents.

The Kanawha river was receding this

By Charles P. Stewart.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
Buenos Ayres, Aug. 10. North and
South America have been drawa meas
urably closer together by the reduc
tion in postal and cable rates and the
signing of contracts by . the United
Press and the influential newspaper La
Nacion, for the first comprehensive
news service between tho two conti
nents, Dr. Jose Luis Murature, a foreign,
minister of Argentine, and foremost
journalist, declared today.
Not only have the two continents
been linked up more closely as geo
graphical units, Dr. Murature pointed
out, but their peoples will be brought
into closer sympathy.
"A giant stride by North and South
America toward Pan-Americanism,"
was the comment made by the Argen
tine foreign minister on this triple ac
complishment of the last few days.
"It is a matter not merely of ex
pediency, out based on historical and
geographical actualities.
"The date on which, this collective
action will be mobilized in the servit
of common Idoala and Interests will be
determined by the speed with which the
masses grasp the "reasons and advant
ages, which are Inseparable I ren, Pan
American functioning. . '
"No development will so quickly
promote a genuine, sympathetic under
standing as the interchange of news)
through such a medium as the United

Dr. Murature expressed the belief
that the exchange of news between the
United Press and-La-Nacion in particu
lar will promote among the- masses of
South America a more sympathetie
understanding of the action of the Uni
ted States toward Mexico than oxista
now anywhere except in government
circles
"I personally consider that, the Uni

dence that its Mexican policy is shaped
by Pan-American ideals," said the
foreign minister. - "The highest respect
