Germans "See d Long
Period of War Ahead
0 ROTTERDAM, July 25.
rpHE Frankfurter Zeitung, In a ro--k'vleto
of tho two years of the war,
says:
"As hitherto, Germany will opposo
tho plans to destroy its national
existence with tho heroism of its
fighters and the determination of its
whole population.
"It is necessary to realize that, ac
cording to all human reckoning,
there still lies before us a consider
able period of exertion in fighting
and in sacrifice before the enemy
gives up his mad undertaking.
"Gcrmnny i3 a besieged fortress..
Therefore, everything depends upon
tho besiegors as to when an end will
be mado of tho bloody work.
"That tho fortress will "never haul
down the flag we know well, but our
enemies do not know it."
Tho Czar's main army in tho Ga-
I Hcin-Bakowina sector is now only
, three, miles fromitho plains of Hungary,
according to Pctrograd dispatches.
This indicates remarkable progress in
the Carpathian campaign in the .umth,
supplementing tho heavy Mu.ovito
blows at the German front along tho
Baltic, in tho north.
Russian troops havo torn open tho
German front for a distance of SO
miles in tho Riga sector for gains of
.12 miles, according to unofficial dis
patches. This advance was mado during four
days of severe fighting from the Gulf
of .Riga to Uxkull, which slackened
Sunday. Tho seriousness 'of the situ
ation for tho forces of Field Marshal
von Hindenburg is emphasized by tho
official announcement in Berlin that
tho Kaiscr'and his General Staff have
left tho western front for tho head
quarters in tho cast.
On tho eastern front, Russian attacks
south of Riga nnd along tho Dvina wcro
repulsed, but tho Russians succeeded in
penetrating German positions on tho
Stonowaka front nnd south of Bcr
estchko, it is admitted in today's Ber
lin report. In those regions General
von Linsingen's forces lost somo of
thoir first-lino trenches. .
PETROGRAD. July 25.
The main Russian forces fighting In the
southern Carpathians aro now only three
, miles from the Hungarian frontier, It Is
reported In Petrograd through the special
correspondence at the front.
There Is not a single sign of a lessening
In the pressure which tho armies of General
Kuropatkln, General Kaledlne, General Sak-'
haroff. General Brusslloff and General
Letchltsky are exerting against tho whole
Austro-German front from the Baltic to the
southern ranges of the Carpathian?.
It now develops that Russian Cossacks
actually penetrated tho Hungarian plain In
Transylvania, for a dtstanca of about 30
miles, creating wild panic among the Hun
'garlans, but subsequently withdrew. The
enterprise was In the nature of a raid and
was not carried out by large forces.
KAISER SPEEDS TO EASTERN
FRONT AS SLAVS HAMMER
GERMANS ALONG BALTIC
X LONDON. July 25".
German anxiety over the situation on the
eastern front Is reflected In the trip of Em
peror William and General von Falkenhayn,
chief of the General Staff, from France to
the Russian line. v
German resistance In Poland and Vol
hynla is weakening, according to advices
received today from various 'sources. This
Information Is borne out by reports from
Petrograd that the Russians, after four da
of terrlfia fighting, have thrust back the
German troops of FleldNMarBha von Hin
denburg for 12 miles south of Riga and
along the Dvtna River, north of Dvlnsk.

TERRIFIC HAND-ffO-HAND
FIGHTING MARKS BATTLE -s
. FOR BAPAUME HIGHWAY
LONDON1, July 25.
"The greater part of Pozlerea Is now
ours," roported General Halg In an official
statement today.
Tho British commander-in-chief declared
that nowhoro had the Teutons reached the
tiritlsh tronches.
The British thrust of today was a hurling
forward In an Inferno of flame, steel and.
shot along a flvo-mllo front from Thlepval
to Longueval. At only thre points In thhs
stretch waB thoro contact of 'man at Del
vllle and High Woods and Pozicres. The
last named village, which Is divided by
tho main highway from Albert to Bapaume
Itself, housed British and Germans. Eter
jlnce' Sunday morning tho two forces have
grappled, hand to hand In desperate combat.
Tho wldo street which stretches out Into
the town's Buburba to join the Bapaume
highway was no man's land. It was swept
by a rain of machine-gun bullets from both
sides. Now and then the deluge stopped
momentarily ay forces from one side or the
other charged. Then It was bayonet to
bayonet.
Not less desperate were the struggles for
supremacy in the two Bparso forests at
Delvllle and High "Woods. The forests
themselves were gone. Of the lenfy foliage
nothing remained. Shot and shell and
hand grenades had stripped trees Into gaunt
(Ire-blackened poles or laid them low In the
ground In great confusion. Behind these
barriers of'logs tho Germans and British
fought fiercely.
.iere was no diminution In the artillery
Are which General Halg has been pouring
ceaselesly Into the German lines slnco Fri
day. On the other hand the Germans
pounded away with explosive shells, gas
shells, shrapnel and machine-gun Are.
So terrtflo have been the artillery duels
on the Somme front In France that the
sound of the cannonade was'heard In towns
on the south coast of England, nearly 160
miles away, and were even audible In Lon

WHITEWASHING" BARRED
"Wo'll See This Through, No
Matter Who Is Implicated,"
Says Juror
Three true bills against owners of houses
which wero raided July 15 were found by
tho Grand Jury this afternoon at the be
ginning of Its investigation Into the Vice
situation and subpoenas were Issued for
probation officers and social settlement '
workers.
Tho attitude of the Jurors Indicates that
they will not stand for any attempt at .
"whitewashing." Several of them said they
wero determined to fix the responsibility
of persons who havo neglected their duty
in enforcing tho law.
One Juror, who Is in touch with condi
tions, said that all concerned would see the
cases through to tho finish no matter who
was Implicated.
ANXIOUS TO FIX BLAME.
"There will bo no whitewashing ns far
as I am 'concerned," he Said. "I am deter
mined to go through with tho Investigation
and fix tho responsibility on the persons who
have neglected their duty in enforcing the
law." -
The same views wero shared by another
grand Juror. When asked whethor or not
tho names of any politicians or men pf
prominence had been presented before the
Jury, ho said:
"Wo havo a lot of work beforo us. Wo
have received a lot of Important informa
tion. Tho program has been mapped out
and we will seo this thing through to tho end
no mnttor who may be Implicated."
Social settlement workers and probation
officers will testify before tbo Grand Jury.
Subpoenas wero Issued today for several
of tho most prominent of tho social workers;
MISS GILLETTE CALLED.
Miss Mary Gillette, former court aid, who
ia now connected with tho Travolers' Aid
Society, will be one of the first to appear
boforo the Jury and tell what she knows of
the vice situation.
Her appearance will be partly tho result
of three communications of complaint she
recently sent to the Mayor. Among other
social Workers who will be called are Mrs.
Jane Bryant, Mrs. Jane D. Hippcn and Miss
Bertha Freeman.
District Attorney Rotan sold these social
workers would be Interviewed by the Jury
In order that an idea of general vice con
ditions in thjj. city may be obtained before
particular cases are taken up.
The police who conducted the raid la
tho Tenderloin which brought about tho In
vestigation will be the last to testify be
fcro the Jury.
John Brounley, d the Law and Order So
ciety, was called beforo the Grand Jury to
day and questioned concerning the arrests
in tho Tenderloin.
Tho Grand Jury-, Investigation started
promptly with the return today of District
Attorney Botan. He said he would gladly
co-operate with the Jury in Its investigation
and summon any one the Jurymen desired
to throw light on the situation.
Director Wilson Is following the pace set
by Mayor Smith who Issued a warning yes
terday for all vtco promoters and gamblers
to got out of town.
WILSON DEFENDS GIBBONET
Asked If It were true that the Penrose
McNIchol faction first engaged D. Clarence
Gibboney, of the Law ond Order Society,
to Investigate the Tenderloin and that Gib
boney was subsequently "commandeered"
by the admlnlvilon to raid the Tender
loin, the Director said: "There Is not a word
of truth in this rumor which has been
circulated freely. Mayor Smith and my
self were the ones who decided to' clean
up the place regardless of any political
motives, as I have Said before."
Regarding the charge that powerful
politicians lrterfered with the work of
the suspended police officials the Director
said, "It Is up to the accused men to tell
the facts If any one Is Interested with
them,
"I want the accused officials to make a
tight for their positions and tell all they
Vnnur Thev ha.v amrjla onrjortunltv to tell
xact conditions. Personally, I do not be-
ttieve mat-any paiuicai uiuucuco jtauui-

thrown in their way to keep the facts
back."
Asked his opinion of the charges which
were made by officials to the effect that
Captain Kenny and other policemen col
lected money In the Tenderloin, the Di
rector said he had not heard about them.
