WHILE AIRMEN BOMBARD OESEL
HINDENBURG MAKES ATTACK
NEAR RIGA.
International News Service.
LONDON. July 26.— VTIth the Russians
making further inroads Into UaTlrta and
delivering heavy blows on the main road
to Lernoarg, Field Marshal von llinden-
burg has launched a counter blow in the
far north.
Fighting of the heaviest character took
I'fe along practically the entire eastern
iroiit today, extending from the Uiga sec-
tor. 900 miles southward '.o Volhynia and
Galicia.
The German stroke In the north was de-
livered both by land and in the air. While
an aeroplane squadron was hurling bombs
on the Russian station on Ossel, an island
in the Gulf of Riga, Illndenburg's troops
drove against tl« Russian front twenty
miles west of UI^A The official statement
received tonight from 1'etrograd admits
that they pierced the Russian front but
declares they later were driven back.
That this Is only the first move in an
offensive designed to relieve the pressure
on Linslngen and Von Boehm-Lrmolli's
<orns In the south Is the opinion here.
The Russians succeeded in further bend-
ing back the Austro-Germau lines in the
south and have captured more than 4,000
additional prisoners, Petrograd announces.
New crossings of the Slonevka River, a
branch of tha styr, have been made, while
against Krmolll's front the Muscovites are
conducting an encircling movement against
Brody, the important Gallcian point from
which they are uow only ten miles dis-
tant. The Russian general staff officially
states that huge losses have been inflicted
on the Teutons.
While Berlin reports that the Russians
have been unsuccessful in their attacks in
Volhynia, and that only advance guard ac-
tions have taken place on Boehm Erniolll's
front, Vienna admits a retirement south
of Leirow, In Galicia, near the Volhynia
rfontier, and that the Russians gained
some advantages in attacks near Itad-
zovilow, on the direct route to Lemberg.

establishing the domiantlon of the latter
over the production and the markets of
the whole world and of Imposing on other
countries an intolerable yoke.
Great Britain, It was asserted, already
has accepted what she and her allies rep-
resented Germany and Austria-Hungary Is
desiring to achieve and the acquisition,
it was said, was only a cloak to couceal
Great Britain's own designs.
The explanation of the blacklist furnished
hv the ISrtisli ambassador, Sir Cecil Spriug-
Rice, to the State Department, on Tuesday,
which seemed to limit the application of
the hardships imposed by the enforcement
in the United States of the Brtlsh trading
with the enemy act and which indicated
that existing contracts would not be af-
fected, was wholly unsatisfactory to the
United States. It was held that to accept
it would Impose upon this Governmenf the
necessity of recognizing the entire legality
and Justness of the British practice.
The State Department received a cable
gram from Ambassador Page at Loudon
today that he had been unable to obtain
any information from the British govern
ment concerning the blacklist, although
he had requested such Information upon
instructions from Washington. His con-
ferences with the British authorities have
been unsatisfactory to the Washington
officials and this is another reason Presi-
dent Wilson has decided to speed the
protest to London.

of his well wishers, patting him on the
shoulder. Captain Koenlg smiled broadly,
nodded his bead, said, "I thank you," and
then continued on his way to the pier,
where the Deutschland lias been tied up
for more than two weeks.
The tug Thomas F. Tlmmins. which met
the Deutschland off the Virginia Cape* on
her nrrival, and which has been constantly
uear her ever since, pulled away from the
pier late today and went to a nearby coal
pier, where she filled her bunkers. Direct-
ly afterward she returned to the Deutsch-
land's pier and some hours later It was ap-
parent that she was maintaining a full
head of steam in her boilers.
This caused the belief in maritime cir-
cles that the start for the Capes might be
made during the night.
All dav there was activity aboard tha
Deutschland. The engines were tested
again and again und twice the vessel was
submerged until her keel rested on the
bettom In her slip. These operations ap-
peared to be very interesting to persons
aboard two British freighters which hnve
dropped anchor off the Deutschland's pier
during the last day or so. A dozen men
on the stern of each of the ships, the-Hlgh-
burv and the Ardgyfe, took turns at using
several pairs of marine glasses. At dark
they were still watching the submarine.
WARSHIP AWAITS BREMEN
Allied Vessel Sighted Cruising Off
Beaufort Inlet.
By Associated Tress.
BKAUFORT, N. C., July 20.—At least
one allied cruiser was bellqutd to be stand
ing off Beaufort Inlet tonight in an at-
tempt to prevent the possible entrance of
the German submarine merchantman Bre-
men, now due at an American port after
a voyage similar to that mada by her
sister ship, the Deutschland. The keeper
of the Fort Macon Coast Guard station
reported tonight that a strange warship
was In sight off the Inlet throughout the
afternoon. The vessel, according to the
keeper, cruised back and forth aqout ten
miles at sea until Just before dark, when it
disappeared.
It was rumored today that the Breijjen
would arrive here tonight.

British Warship's
Dash Stirs Washington
Violates International Law.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 26.—State
Department officials believe that their
study of the blacklist clearly has proved
that it Injured American firms In violation
of international law.
When the principles involved are taken
up with the British government it is ex-
pected Issue will be taken also with France,
Russia and Italy. It Is Indicated here in
announcing its blacklist Great Britain
really acted In deference to her allies, who
felt that their own merchants were suf-
fering and some British merchants were
profiting through the failure of the London
government to follow the lead of the con
tlnental powers.
The allies' view of the legal aspects of
the blacklist order, which probably will be
the basis of the parliamentary statement to
be issued soon in London and be Incorpo
rated in the deply to the American protest,
is understood to be as follows:
The allies agreed to enforce international
law against their enemies and upon all
their subjects without distinction. The
continental rule applied by Germany,
France, Italy and Russia interprets the
word "enemy" as a person of enemy origin
or Interest. English and American prece-
dent put the emphasis on domicile. Con-
sequently British subjects have considered
they could trade with any enemy firm
domiciled In a neutral country. If the con-
tinental view of the law were applied
By Great Britain, suspicion would attach,
the British government contends, to every
firm of German name In a neutral country.
The trade of the British empire with the
United States for the eleven mouths ending
May 30 amounted to two and a half billion
dollars, or almost half of the total foreign
commerce of America. Of all the firms en-
faged in this trade only thirty-one have
een declared to be enemy firms.
A withdrawal of the list, it is further
contended, would have the effect of cast-
ing suspicion upon transactions with all
firms having German names which are act-
ing entirely In neutral Interest and whose
profits are accruing to neutrals. The ef-
fect of the prohibition to trade with these
firms would be to transfer British firms
acting in the Interest of Germany to firms
acting In the Interest of the United States.
It Is expected by Great Britain that In
operation the measure will benefit these
firms which are purely American In char-
acter as distinguished from those firms
which, though operating here, really are
trading in foreign interest. In casts where
Injury to purely American Interests has
resulted, Great Britain will be glad to en-
tertain and carefully consider representa-
tions. .
The rule to prohibit trading with the
-enemy, either directly or Indirectly, -and
the right of a sovereign government to pro-
hibit Its subjects fro tradmlng with any-
one—friend or foe—was maintained by the
United States, Great Britain Is readv to
point, in 180., 1800 and during the Civil
War. Furthermore, if the United States
Government is disposed to ehsllenge the
light to issue blacklists, It cannot rely, It
Is argued, upon the support og Germany In
Its contentions as the government of that
country already has committed itself to
the extreme continental view towards
which the British government Is making
*nly small approach.
New York Banks Consulted?
By Associated Press.
LONDON, July 2*T— The foreign trade
department of the Foreign office declines
to confirm or deny the story printed here
today to the effect that New York banks
were consulted by the British officials be-
fore the blacklist was published.
Unofficially It Is admitted that it Is pos-
sible some such steps may have been taken
bnt the department here directly concerned
baa no knowledge of such negotiations.
Steps already are being taken here by the
foreign trade department to consult direct-
ly with a number of firms on the list In an
effort to secure their removal.
It ta considered probable by neutral dip-
lomats bote that the British government
will make every effort to aofteh any bad
effect tbe list may have had by direct ne-
gotiation with the blacklisted firms in an
effort to have them removed, as the For-
eign Office haa so definitely satisfied lt-
mlf as to the legality of the blacklist thst
HflomHe Intervention Is hardly likely to

ers on the ground that the bay was with-
in American Jurisdiction. The distance
between Cape Henry and Cape Charles is
eleven nautical miles, and a vessel may
go many miles Inside the capes even a dis-
tance into Chesapeake Bay Itself, without
coming within three miles of land. Eng-
land may attack the submarine liner in
these waters, it is feared here, and al-
lege the undetermined law justified the
act despite the fact that decisions of
American Tribunals do not leave tbe
question In doubt.
Five Men Saw Cruiser.
By Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Vu„ July 2B.—Almost sim-
ultaneously with the clearance of the Ger-
man submarine Deutschland at Baltimore
today the United States cruiser North
Carolina and three torpedo boat destroy-
ers under orders from Washington to do
neutrality duty, steamed out beyond Cape
Henry and took up positions near the al-
lied cruisers, one or which paid an un-
nounced visit to Lower Chesapeake Bay
Monday night.
Five men, Including Commander Phelps,
it is understood, saw the cruiser and her
signals from the bridge of the Louisiana.
The class of signals used by the cruiser,
known as "double blinkers,' It was de-
clared today by experts, ne»er are found
on any but warships.

Delegates to the State Democratic Con-
vention to be held In Houston August 8,
will lie selected at a county convention
' at, 1 o'clock Saturday at Market Hall. The
call for tills meeting- has been Issued by
C. S. Kowlcr, chairman of the Hexar Coun-
ty Democratic Executive Committee. From
present indications a large attendance Is (
expected. Xhe delegates to the State con-
vention will bo "instructed," as It Is the
Intention of the Democrats of this county
not to send any unlnstructed votes.
Kvcry art and device known to politi-
cians will be used to bring the next Stato
convention to San Antonio. "We feel we
are entitled to the next convention, and
by the great Jumping frog wo are golnjr to
get It, forcibly exclaimed one ardent
San Antonlan who had an Inkling that he
"might be chosen as a delegate."
A meeting of the County Democratic
Executive Committee also will be held
Saturday morning at 11 o'clock In the
County Probate Court room for the pur-
pose of canvassing the returns of the re-
cent primary election. The time of meet-
ing for the committee is mandatory under
the law. The returns for every office, from
Senator down to committeeman will he
canvassed. Several local politicians are
rather confused on tills point. Some say
only returns for county offices nre to be
canvassed, while the returns for the State
offices are canvassed by the State conven-
tion. The law, however. Is plain and
says the county convention Is to canvass
all returns.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—In re-
ply to a complaint from Mrs. Henry Smith
of Wlnamac, Ind., who has a son In the
.National Guard, President Wilson wrote
today that the guard was being kept on
the Mexican border to protect the coun-
try, not fpr drill, and that the services
the men were performing were an honor
to them and a necessity to the United
States.
The President's letter was made publio
because many communications similar to
that of Mrs. Smith are being received and
contain criticism that tbe men of the
National Guard are not being properly
cared for. The letter follows:
"Your letter of July 23 dlstresse me
a good deal because It shows that you
hnve not been correctly informed a« to
th* purpose of having the National Guard
at the border. It li not for the purpose
of drill, but for the purpose of protecting
the country. The service the men are
performing there Is en honor to them and
a necessity to the United States. I can-
not believe that the men In the National
Guard would wish to b* excused from It
or would lose heart because of the discom-
forts and Inconvenience* of the service.
"The War Department hae tbe camps on
the border under the moet eareful inspec-
tion and Is using every means known to
make them sanitary and eafe against dis-
ease. The health record of the men on
the border, both the regulars and the
National Guardsmen, is exceptionally good.
"I would not have you think that I do
not sympathize with your distress in the
absence of your son, but I beg that you
will take these larger matters Into con-
sideration."

STRONG REPORT BY
JUDGE J. H. TEAGUE

Into Print—Vitalitas
Was Employed.
Judge J. H. Teague, a prominent Jurist
known throughout Texas for half a cen-
tury, furnishes a report of much interest
relative to Vitalitas. In it Judge Tcaguo
says: j
"This is to certify that in October, 1906,
I became afflicted with muscular rheumti-
tifm; I whs compelled to take to my bed
for more than five year*. I suffered un-
told pain. I trlsd everything known to
the medical fraternity for relief; visited
the Hot Wells of Marlln for relief, but re-
ceived but little. I had almost given up
lu despair when I consented to try Vital-
itas. After taking two bottles I began to
experience relief and so continued until
today I am as free from pain as any one
of iny age lu Texas. I urn In mv seventy-
i*>cond year and as spry as most men at
50. I cheerfully recommend this great
remedy to all suffering rheumatism, be-
lieving ns I do that if taken as directed
a permanent cure will be tbe result"
Not only for rheumatism Is Vitalitas ef-
fective but also for Indigestion, bilious-
ness, nervous debility, etc.

Prices are very moderate, we
admit, but the suits couldn't be
made any better If they were ex-
pensive. Therein they differ from
the average, for they combine
style with economy, and are at
once a cool proposition and a red
hot value.
