Developments of great Importance
are foreshadowed in the situation on
tho three fronts where large operations
aro now in progress.
On the Somme front, whero the Brit
ish have established themselves at
Pozicrcs, penetrating the third line of
Gcrmnn defenses, feverish preparations
arc being pushed in expectation of the
heaviest counter-attack the Teutons
Jiavo yet delivered since the commence
ment of the big Anglo-French drive.
Tho British are now occupying a most
favorable position, the ground from
Pozieres to Bapaume constituting for
tho most part a low plain with hardly
any ridges intervening. Pozierea" is
also tho key to the Albert Ridge, form
ing tho Inst line of powerful defenses
guarding Bapaume, the immediato ob-
jcqtivo of tho, British troops.
That tho British, drive has succeeded
in relieving the French at Verdun is
evidenced in the virtual cessation of
German infantry attacks on the Meuse
line and the continued transfer of large
masses of Teuton troops and artillery
from that front to the Somme. Thi3
h enabled thj French to move for
v nid their positions west of Thiaumont.
Tht French have also gained ground
south of tho Somme, the Paris War
Office reported today.
British elation nt the continued Anglo-French
successes on the Sommo
front is coupled with the satisfaction
generally felt because of the frankness
and definite language of tho War Of
fice statements. This has become true
since the assumption by tLloyd George
of the war portfolio. Contrary to the
late Lord Kitchener's reticenco on the
progress of military events, a policy of
copious reports and open discussion has
been adopted by his successor.
Heavy rains are impeding tho prog
ress of the Russian drive into northern
Galicia. The Styr, Stokhod and Lipa
Rivers are swollen over their banks and
the sticky marshes hedging the Stok
hod, in particular, have been rendered
even moro impassable. Russian forces
are battling against the elements as
well, as against the Teutons, but are
steadily forcing onward. Brody is har
assed on two sides by a Russian bat
tering ram which is gradually crush
ing the resistance of General Boehm
Ermolli's Austrians.
On the extreme north GeneraLKuro
patkin's forces are successfully re
pulsing furious assaults by General
von Hindenburg, inflicting heavy losses
on the Teutonic columns.
The victoridus armies of Grand Duke
Nicholas are pushing three separate
drives into Asia Minor, determined not
to give the fleeing Turks any respite.
The Russians are advancing in three
directions southward toward the Bag-

Submarine May Be Delayed by
Fault in Submerging
Apparatus
BALTIMORE, July 27. Tho German
Bupersubinnrine Deutschland has en
countered mechanical difficulties which
may indefinitely delay her departure
from Baltimore. Teats of the sub
marine's submerging apparatus have
developed defective parts, which must
be replaced before the Deutschland Is
ready for her perilous dash through the
enemy-filled waters of the Atlantic.
Naval Constructor Prussc, who su
perintended the building of tho boat nt
Bremen and who came to Baltimore as
her supercargo, is working day and
night on the repairs. He believes he
will have the submarine rcady to sail
within 2 J hours.
WASHINGTON, July 27. The Brit
ish admiral commanding the cruiser
squadron off the Atlantic coast indig
nantly denies that a British warship
entered Chcsnpeakc Bay, as reported
to the Navy Department yesterday.
WASHINGTON, July 27. Complaint
hardly will be made to tho British Govern
ment on account of tho Invasion of Ameri
can territorial waters by a British cruiser
two days ago. Tho report of Captain
Phelps, commanding tho battleship Louis
iana, now In tho hands of tho Stato De
partment, has convinced officials there that
the British vessel violated neither Federal
nor local laws. Tho captain's report fol
lows :
The commanding officer of tho
Louisiana reports that about 2:30 a,
in., tho 2Bth, while ho was at anchor
In Lynn Haven Bay, and using hla
Bcarchllgts and Blgnal lights and
othorwlso Indicating that ho was a
man-of-war, ho was passed by a ves
sel that was barely discernible, ex
cepting for two man-of-war lights dis
played aft, Ab this vessel passed the
Louisiana she made tho signal which
read, "English cruiser." Tho vessel
then was standing apparently up the
channel toward Hampton Itoads. Tho
lights disappeared very soon after tho
signal was made and nothing further
was seon of her, though the Louisiana
kept a bright lookout for her.
Evidently tho British cruiser went to sea
afterward, as she was not seen anywhero
about tho Virginia capes today, so far as
official Information goes.
Officials of the Stato and Navy Depart
ments made It clear that should any British
vessel of tho coast patrol enter Chesapeake
Bay after tho undersea liner has reached
Norfolk or Newport News and Is preparing
to go out, the United States will bo forced
to seize that British vessel and detain it
until 24 hours after tho departure of tho
German submarine. That is the usual
course, officials said, In the observation of
American neutrality.
The most serious charge that can be
placed against tho commander of the British
cruiser, the Identity of which Is not yet
known, Is a violation of the unwritten code
of courtesy of the seas.

UNITED BUSINESS MEN
FIGHT SMALL COUNCIL;

Association's President Tells
Charter Revision Committee
Changes Are Needed, but
Not Radical Ones
WANT NO EXPERIMENTS
William Hancock, president of the United
Business Men's Association, has outlined
what he says will be the attitude of that
organization toward the proposed new c.ty
charter in a letter to Thomas naeburn
White, a member of the Charter Committee.
On the general proposition of revision as
already outlined, Mr. Hancock says the
United Business Men agree; but, he says,
there are two things they will be against:
a city manager and a Council of only IS
men.
Ills letter follows;
"Thomas naeburn White, Esq Dear
Sir: I understand that you are the head
of a subcommittee, appointed by Jdhn C.
Winston, to consider a plan for revising the
city charter.
"The United Business Men's Association,
at Its June meeting, availed Hself of the
Invitation to Join In tha movement, and
'hence we are represented on your general
committee. I am also Informed that yvur
subcommittee would be pleased to recehe
general suggestions or express'uns of opin
ion on the subject.
"Therefore I wish to state that while we
agree the city charter la in need of some
revision, the United Business Men's Asso
ciation Is hardly likely to listen to any such
Idea as a 'city manager' to take the place
of the Mayor and his directors. Nor can
we agree to so -small a Council as one bavin-
but 18 members.

Sage of the Organization, who is

Rv a Btaff Correspondent
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., July, 27 Davw
Lane had something to say today hla
birthday eve about vice.
This sage of the Republican party in
Philadelphia, David H. Lane, of the Twen
tieth Ward, always forgets the Intimate
matters of politics when his lilrthJiy come
around and he Is 77 tomorrow tq phltpso
phlze about larger things; but who couIC '
want a subject where' mature wincHo
counts for more than1 such a subject
vice 7
Mr, Lane counts himself a. very youns;
man, Indeed, when I comes to talking
nbout It. too. Ho suggests that the vlcj
probers go back a bit further than he eaj,
with all his full, active life , ft Uew Ij
that they go to those clttes of a .nirfnt?
years and aak them how to deal wi't iiin.
To say 'that he deplores the pre. :
ceedlngs In Philadelphia might bt going
rather far, but it Is no untruth to aar he.
has no sympathy with them, ?qttrig t In
his epigrammatic way, "There Is no use
handling a problem , with the heart when
It demands the head."
He doesn't like to see the puddle of filthy
splashed all about, and any thing but
segregation Is bound to result that way,
he thinks.
"Who do you blame for the way the
'thing 1b handled?" the Interviewer wanted
to know,
"Ah!" he exclaimed, sagely, and the
went on to say that when you cut through
to the core of the trouble the people' are
to blame.
"For," he said, "officials do what ttvfk
people think ought to be done, and when?
a problem Is looked at wrongly It Is bound
to be handled wrongly,"
Now every Phlladelphlan knows Mr.
Lane's pet aversions, and his principal one,
reformers. But he hasn't often said aloud
that the church may some times be wrong.
He did say so today.
It was in connection with this same ques

The conversation had been general an
Mr, Lane was ruminating on the tremen

Influence exercised in such n, way that
things were left undone by legislators be

told many stories to Illustrate, Includln
that time-honored story about Jim
Nichol's losing out In his effort to have
hotels permitted to serve table guests with
liquor on the Sabbath, and that led to
the question of whether he would favor
the turning over of this vice problem t
the clergymen for settlement.
"Heavens, no!" he shouted. Then In ft
tone a bit more modulated:
"Nor the women" He explained tig
