Attempts to Reduce Russian
Stronghold in Northern

'' FUTROGRAD, July n
AH German attacks In northern Poland
during tile last three days have resulted
in (Allure, theVftr Office announced to
day The enemy In reported to havo
suffered severe losscli.
Press advices from OesowIeU an
nounce that the Gorman losses' In the at
tempts lo reduce that fortress are esti
mated by Russian ofllcers at 16,000 killed
and wounded. Successful sorties by the
garrison have driven the besieging force
back three miles to Its second lino of
trenches.
Because of the spectacular phases of
the recent Gallclan struggle the grim
struggle at Ossowlefct has been almost
overlooked for several weeks. Desperate
fighting has been In progress there- ever
since the Germans Invested tho fortress
from the north
All day longf the Russian and German
guns keep up a- continuous fire, while at
night either ono side or the other'
launches an Infantry attack. In bblh
phases of the fighting the Russians have
been superior thus far. The heavy guns
of Ossowletz have prevented tho Germans
from bringing up their 17-Inch howitzers.
Russian aviators make hourly flights over
the German positions, directing tho fire
of the fort's artillery.
Only one of the German guns suc
ceeded In finding the range of Ossowits.
This sent three shells into tho town, kill
ing BO civilians. Immediately tho Rus
sian aviators ascertained its location and
to shots completely silenced It, wreck
ing the gun and killing Its crew.
Tho situation On the South Poland
front shows no Important change. In tho
Caucasus local conflicts have resulted to
the Russians' advantage.

French people aro noted for their po
liteness. That undoubtedly Is one of
their many chnrms. Even In America,
French men and women retain their
Innate courtesy nn example of It can be
seen In Philadelphia today.
Nine days ago Fronch residents In
this city snt rfn their porches or went
to the shore at nil events they heard tho
all-day salutes of cannon, firecrackers
and fireworks given In honor of Old
Glory, and with enthusiasm Itlndled by
friendship watched tho celebration of our
national Fourth of July. Today when
the clamor and noise of the Fourth have
subsided, French men. women and chil
dren, residents of tho City of Brotherly
Love, "turn to their American cousins
-and say, "Apres vous. Messieurs, you
have had you celebration; today we have
ours." ,
The goddess of politeness undoubtedly
was pleased that the old walls of the
Rnstllle did not see fit to crumble until
July 14, or 10 flays after tho American
Fourth.
MARK BASTILLE'S FALL.
"Liberty, equality and fraternity" Is
Indeed the spirit of the celebration being
held In Central Park, 6th and Cayuga
streets, today, under the auspices of tho
Association Natlonale Francalse of Phil
adelphia to commemorate the fall of the
Bastille.
Today is tbe national holiday of all
France; It Is the national holiday of all
the Frefnch, no matter where thny may
be.
Tho scene at the opening of the cele
bration today was one which will remain
long In the hearts of the loyal sons and
daughters of Franco. Some had come
Oij.'foot, otherB In street cars and auto
mobiles, but they mingled freely, rich and
poor alike. Friendly handshakes were
seen on every side, anecdotes were heard,
while many hesitatingly and fearfully
asked tidings of mutual friends on the
other side. The murky clouds of the war
threatened to dampen tho ardor and joy
of the duy.
Old gray-haired men were there, their
eyes kindled with enthusiasm; there wero
dark and vivacious French girls wearing
trtcolored bouquets In a way known only
to French women, and there was a small
army of the younger generation who
neoded no urging to have a good time.
Only the stalwart young men were mlea
Ing. All presant knew they were en
gaged elsewhere.
THREE THOUSAND ATTEND.
In all mora than SOOO were there to help
to make the day an enjoyable one. The
guests were received by Paul Glouton,
president of the association, and by Ca

program Includes races, a large assort
ment of gnmes and dancing. .
Another proof of the gallantry of
Frenchraenl Each lady entering the
grounds was presented with a number,
hundred of these numbers will be
awarded prizes before the day Is done.
How many times the red white and
blue flags were saluted It would be Im
possible to tel.
In addition to the "fete" at Cenfot
Park. French men and women here will
demonstrate their love for France by
contributing to the relief of war sufferers
in the republic It Is expected that hun
dreds of French sympathizers will have
sent contributions to the chairman of the
French War Relief Committee, Emer

North of Gorlzla tho rolnforcod Austrian

Tho following communlquo was Issued:
"On Tuesday morning a flotilla of ncro

ALPINI TAKE M0NT1CELL0
IN BLINDING BLIZZARD
ROME. July 14 At tho capture of Mon
tlcello the Italian Alplno troops, scaling
a summit, wero caught at midnight In a
hurricane of snow and wind, and, to save
themselves from being blown from the
face of the mountain, tied themselves to
gether and lay ror three hours awaiting
a lull In the tempest. When It came
dawn they found the AuBtrlans' position
hidden beneath mounds of snow and In
approaching them the men sank to their
waists.
The Austrlans discovered the attackers
and opened Are. At that moment a fog
settled on the mountain, preventing the
Alplnl from seeing half a dozen yards
ahead. The situation was critical, as the
mountain path by which they would havo
to retire was obliterated Orders were
given to gradually change the ground to
ward which the Austrlans were firing by
crawling under the shelter of ftie edge
of tho snow-clad plateau.
While this was being done a llfo-and-death
struggle was fought by single Al
pints with Austrlans who had ventured
from their trenches In the fog, hoping to
push tho attackers back. The Italians
were Inferior In numbers, but by spread
ing out and nnng rrom several points
they convinced the AustrlanB they were
In greater strength than they really
were.
For the two hours that the fight In
snow and fog continued the fate of the
Alplnt hung In the balance. They would
have been decimated but for the sacrifice
of two officers who held a superior force
In check until a break In the fog dis
closed the Austrian trencheB. These were
'promptly attacked with the bayonet, and
the Austrlans were driven out so quickly
that they did not have time to carry away
all their dead and wounded.

PROJECT TO RENEW
BALKAN ALLIANCE
Ex-Greek Premier at Head
of the Movement to Re
organize Former Offen
sive League of Near East
Nations.
LONDON, July 14.
Reports of n reorganization of the Bal
kan Alliance under the guiding hand of
Eleutherlos Venlzelos, formerly tho Greek
Premier, and the originator of tho alli
ance are current This Is considered sig
nificant, as Venlzelos Is an ardent sup
porter of the Franco-Brltleh-nuMlnn-Itnllan
Allies, and on this Issue his party
vns returned victorious In the recent elec
tions. Therefore, It Is considered likely
that If, ns rcportod, Venezlos reorganizes
tho Alliance the Balkan States will Join
tho Entente Allies In the wnr.
The cntlro Balkan situation, ns a matter
of fact, Is once mors to the fore, prlncl-,
pally as a result of tho disclosures that
tho Austro-Gormans have offered to Ru
mania alternative concessions either to
continue neutral or Join with the Ger
man allies. Confidence Is expressed In
British, French nnd Italian circles thnt
tho Balkan Btates will not Join the Aus-tro-Germans,
but It ts considered likely
that, owing to tho failuro of Russia to
hold Qnllcla and Bukowlna, th.ey might
decide to remain noutral. Of course, suc
cess by tho Allies In the Dardanelles,
whore they are unofficially reported to
have gained further Turkish trenches,
would chongo tho situation.
