JITNEY INJUNCTION
VACATED WHEN liM
FAIL TO FILE BOND
Judge Sulzberger Scores
Jitneurs in Decision.
Zone Clause Will Not Be
Enforced Weaver
Charges "Ulterior Influ
ences." Judge Sulzberger, today, vacated tho
Jitney injunction in all but tho zone
clause, and the Jitney men are now -waiting
for Director Porter to enforco the
ordinance they say will drive them out
of business. TJie Director will not re
turn to this city until Monday, and until
that tlmo nothing will be done.
The startling suggestion that "some ul
terior forces" have been at work to pre
vent tho Jltnoymen from securing tho
S0O bond required by Judge Sulzberger
oa security for tho Injunction, was mado
In court today by former Mayor John
Weaver, attorney for the Jltneymen.
Judge Sulzberger took occasion, at the
hearing, to say a few things that were
not exactly complimentary about the re
sponsibility of tho Jltneymen. Reducing
the bond asked to Its per capita cost, he
pointed out that the men in 23 days
hadn't been able to raise $3.50 each, even
with the assistance of their friends.
"These Jitney drivers hardly seem re
sponsible," said the Judge. "Upwards of
700 .members are in tne auio service
Association, and yet they were not able,
even through their friends, to raise $3,50
each. These men are supposed to be in
dividual! responsible for the life and
limb of citizens of Philadelphia. Twenty
three days was an unreasonably long
tlmV for them to raise a 12500 bond, yet
the Ctourt granted it." "
Judge Sulzberger then announced that
he would grant the appeal of City So
licitor iWan. The latter did not ask the
court to Vacate the Injunction In its en-

WITH THE FRENCH ARMV AT THE
FRONT. Aug. 6 (via Paris, Aug. 7).
If tho Germans make good their threat
nnd attempt to smash through the Allies'
lines to the Channel, or to Paris, after
taking Warsaw, the greatest slaughter
over witnessed by man will occur. And
tho Kaiser will meet his Waterloo.
This Is the opinion, most emphatically
expressed, of every ofllcer, from generals
down, with whom I talked on a tour of
tho battle front on tho anniversary of
the first week of tho war.
They declare they only fear the Ger
mans won't try, knowing it would play
Into the Allies' hands. For Germany,
they say, it would be tho beginning of
the end.
"Such a drive would be predoomed to
failure," one officer said. "Then, weak
ened by frightful losses, the Kaiser's
legions would be at the mercy of the Al
lies who, with time working to their ad
vantage, have from the first conserved
their 'troops to ttita end, thanks largely
to the genius of General Joffre, France's
commander-in-chief."

ono of tho peaks dominating aqrizla. DIs
patchds rftcsiVCitrharo today said tho Ital
ian, attacks' ha,V? been ' renewed with a
fierceness that makes tho fall of ' the
Austrian' fortress In tho near future a
practical certainty.
Tho Blopes of Podgora, dominating Gor
lzla rrom the west, havo literally been
bathed In blood since tho Bersagllcr be
gan their savago attacks three days ago.
Italian gunners first wrecked Austrian
concrete and nrmored trenches half way
up the height, forcing tho defenders to
retreat toward the crest. From this posi
tion, however, the enemy swept tho
slopes with n hot fire. All reports agree
that tho Italians suffered heavy losses.
Pressure by the left wing and centre on
the Carso heights continues nnd now Im
portant positions have been taken after
severe fighting.
The Austrlans tried to arrest the
Italian progress by a violent attack
on the positions recently conquered In
tho Bosco Cappucclo. but the shock was
met successfully, nnd after the Austrlans
had been weakened a vigorous offensive
was taken, with the result thnt the great
irencn in me eastern extremity of the
Cappucolo woods was carried.
The Austrlans were driven a consid
erable distance beyond the lines they had
occupied before their attack.
An attempt was made later by the Aus
trlanB to dislodge tho Italians from their
new positions by a furious bombardment
and another attack en masse. It failed,
and when the action was over tho Ital
ians were firmly established on new lines.
From Austrian sources a confession
now comes that Italian guns aro In com
mand of Gorizta.
The Prince Archbishop has been obliged
to leave Gorlzla and retire to Adelsberg
because within the last few days the
archbishop's palace and gardens have
been subjected to heavy fire by Italian
guns. The provincial council also left
a few days ago.
The Dolomite region again was the
scene of progress by the Alpine troops,
who succeeded in occupying new positions
near the summit of Col dl Lana. This
mountain is quite Isolated and rises west

WASHINGTON, Ave. 7. With Car

powerful warring factions In Mexico, dis

that contrasts sharply with their former
uncompromising attitudes, the Mexican
