His previous trips to France have been for conferences with General Joffre. Probably not one out of a hundred soldiers saw him. The army went on with its work. He saw it at work and chose vWhat he wished to see. Other distinguished visitors had had programs laid out for them but ho laid out his own, which was a revela tion of energy and precision in the amount of ground covered. The only ceremonious affair was a parade of In dian cavalry which he briefly review ed. . As there is no speed limit on the "main roads in the military roads he was not long in going from point to point. When he left the car to go on foot the officers conducting him found that it took a good pedestrian to keep up.

It is certain if the Germans had known of his presence they would have given j more than a salute of 17 guns to which the Secretary of War Is en titled. The fleld marshal picked his way through the former streets, among the wreckage, saw a 17-inch shell hole in the plaza, the remains of the Cloth Hall and other sights, an impressive example of the destructive power of modern shell fire. Unusual as It was in Ypres not a single shell fell while Kitchener was there. ' It happened while Kitchener was visiting a heavy battery a characteris tic action of trench warfare developed on the only part of the line that had seen any action this -week. At Pilken, north of Ypres, the Germans com manded two small hills which gave them a punishing advantage over the British trenches* on their front. The British determined to try to rectify their line and after the usual artillery preparation they charged and by a free use of bombs, took 2. r >o yards of Ger man trenches, 80 prisoners and two machine guns.

Ofipptl Ton SP !D^Toven 'Oe^RLi^enfiAUTl BIG STEEL MERGER REPORT IS DENIED Jones & Laughlin Not Considering Move; Penna.-Cambria Combine a Fact Special to The Telegraph Pittsburgh, July 27. —Commenting on the report that his $30,000,000 cor poration. the biggest of the Independ ents, was going into a new steel merger, to be second in size only to the United States Steel Corporation, B. F. Jones, Jr., president of the Jones & Laughlin Sfeel Company, pointed to day to the fact that the ground the company purchased at AUquippa, Pa., for expansion is only 25 per cent, oc cupied and that millions of dollars' worth of improvements are in con templation. For the company, which is the prop erty absolutely of the members of the family, is debt free and whose stock is never on the market, the merger re port was emphatically denied. The Jones & Laughlin Company is in ex cellent shape financially. H. K. Zarlng, secretary of the Cru cible Steel Company, said the merger was news to him. Two of the companies mentioned, the Pennsylvania and Cambria Steel Companies, already one In control, were reported two months ago in a story sent out from Pittsburgh to be ready to become one in fact by merg ing into a $50,000,000 independent steel corporation to be headed by W. H. Donner, of Philadelphia, at present president of the Cambria company and member of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania company. Mr. Don ner denied the merger then, but steel men here have since learned that plans for tlie merger are going: atiead. Youngstown, Ohio, July 26. —Presi- dent James A. Campbell, of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, says his company has never been ap proached with a proposal to enter the rumored new steel combine. Mr. Campbell is also a director of the Lackawanna Steel Company and says he would know if that company was considering such a merger. He had heard nothing of the proposed com bination from any source, he says. Republic Iron and Steel Company offi cials also say they know nothing of it. Philadelphia, Pa., July 27. At the offices of the Bethlehem Steel Cor poration the story that Charles M. Schwab was to become the head of the merger was denied. An officer of the Republic Iron and Steel Company said that there was not a thing in the story so far as his company was concerned. President E. C. Felton of the Penn sylvania. Steel Company said: "So far as I know there is nothing in it." Steel men and Wall Street refused to give credence to the report. It was admitted that several of tne companies mentioned, particularly the Cambria and the Pennsylvania, are likely to merge at some time, and it was fur ther believed that Charles M. Schwab is anxious to enlarge the capacity of the Bethlehem company by adding others, but a. great merger such PS the one mentioned, it was believed, is al most out of the question.

No charge has been formally placed against the men who are being detain ed as witnesses. The coroner's jury was empanelled last Saturday and later inspected the steamer and the bodies of the victims. Representatives of State's Attorney Hoyne, owners of the steamer and scores of lawyers who ap|>cared in l>c lialf of various Interests occupied seats near Coroner Hoffman. Chicago. 111., July 27. —With the ar rival here to-day of Secretary of Com merce Redfield steps were taken to determine what form the federal in vestigation into the cause of the cap sizing of the- steamship Eastland at her dock last Saturday shall take. Sec retary Redfleld, following President Wilson's request for a thorough in vestigation, Is prepared to go Into the case independently of the Federal Steamship Inspection Service, but will not announce his conclusions until he hap had time to make a personal ex amination of conditions. With the entry of the Cabinet mem ber into the case no less than eight separate investigations are in progress or contemplated, with the situation complicated by a clash between State's Attorney lloyne and federal authori ties over the possession of evidence gathered by the Chicago police and which the latter on demand turned o\er to the government agents for presentation to the federal grand jury. The county grand Jury started its hearing at the criminal court building and the coroner's Jury began the tak ing of testimony at the county build ing. United States District Attorney Ciine began the calling of witnesses for the federal grand jury. The harbor and wharves committee of the city council began its investigation and the State Public Utilities Commission is considering the question of starting an Inquiry. Governor Dunne has been uiged to call a special session of the Legislature and the Sanitary District Board will meet Thursday to appoint an investigating board. Rids for the raising of the Eastland will be received to-day and until this work is completed it Is probable that the number of lives lost in the disaster cannot be definitely computed. A number of bodies are known to be in the hull of the vessel, but divers have been unable to reach them. $.■500,000 For Victims Completion of a relief fund of $300,- 000 for the aid of the families of the victims is expected to he attained before the close of the day. A house at 2301 South Kolin ave nue has not been entered since the Eastland capsized. Two families, con sisting of seven persons, lived in the house, and all are either dead or missing. A wagon drove to the resi dence with two bodies but there was no one there to receive them. Insurance managers estimate that between 50 and 75 per cent, of the Eastland vicitims carried policies, the average amount being S3OO. They say $500,000 will be paid to families of victims during the week. Several of the skilled workers of the Western Electric Company carried policies of $5,000. Pay Insurance Claims Several Chicago representatives of the insurance companies have omitted the customary red tape and started to pay the claims. In many cases these payments have prevented applications to relief institutions. Some insurance men have not waited for claims to be presented, but seat their forced of col lectors to-tind the beneficiaries. William H. Hull, general manager of the company which owns the East land, advances the theory that the vessel was overturned by the pulling of a tug that had been engaged to pilot It to open water. "My theory is that the boat was resting on the bottom of the river," he said. "Then when the tug pulled, over she went. The river probably was not deep enough at that point for the Eastland. We have plenty of water at our dock, but perhaps the river had filled in at the place she dockejl Saturday. "My information is that a rear line was fast and It pulled off the cap of the piling when the tug pulled. When the piling gave way the tug pulled over the boat in a hurry. If that theory is not right 1 have not the slightest idea of what caused the ac cident. The boat -was safe. It wasn't the boat."

M.— The magnitude of the German enveloping movement In the eastern field now is absorbing the attention of the British officials and public. The latest reports show that General von Buelow's 30,000 cavalry have turned southward from Riga and are within eighty miles of the railway connecting Petrograd with Warsaw. In this way the northern German line is closing in on the main northern railway artery to the Russian capital, while the southern army similarly is approaching the main southern artery running to Odessa.

The Times believes the operations art! a real danger, not. alone to War saw. but to the whole system of rail way defenses of which the city is the center, and that it now Is apparent that the Germans are planning to en velop the entire Russian army in this region. The newspaper points out that the fall of Warsaw will have a grave significance, for the west, as it will mean that Russia's power to re sume a successful offensive will have been indefinitely postponed and that the principal bases for offensive op erations will be in the hands of Ger many.
