tlons. London reports the gain of
eome ground in such operations to
the west of Pozieres.
After having been temporarilv shut
up in the Stokhod region by persistent
Teutonic resistance the Russians have
succeeded in effecting a new advance,
according to Petrograd's official an
nouncement, announcing to-day cap
ture of the village of Rudka-Miryn
ekaia on the Stavok, a tributary of the
Stbkhod.
This success brings them within 19
miles of Kovel, the railroad center
which is the objective of their Vol
hynlan campaign.
The Russians claim another pene
tration of General von Linsingen's
lines in Volhynio, reporting the cross
ing of the Stokhod fifty miles north
east of Kovel at Lubieszow, where
they took and fortified a series of
heights.
Initiative at Verdun Is
Passing to French; Enemy
Appears Less Capable
Ry Associated Press
Paris, Aug. 4. Verdun Is again in
the center of the war stage. The re
capture by the French of the village
of Fleury which had been held by the
Germans for more than a month, has
caused great elation in France. It is
the first fruit of the French slow and
methodical offensive began three days
ago and seems, in the opinion of
French miltiary observers, to mark
an epoch in the six months battle for
the great fortress on the Meuse.
The Germans appear to be less and
less capable of operating on their old
overwhelming scale and the Initiative,
military men here think, is about to
pass to the French for good.
While the German artillery contin
ues to be as powerful and as well sup
plied as ever the Germans no longer
are able to gather the masses of troops
necessary to reap the benefit if artill

It is twenty days since the Germans
made their last big attack on the right
bank of the Meuse by which they ob
tained small results at a heavy cost.
On the left bank of the Meuse nothing

French bomb throwers for a fort
night past, in anticipation of the pres
ent offensive, had been creeping for
ward by the Vignes ravine, west of
Froide Terre, with the object of get
ting near Thiaumont work by work
ing around hill Xo. 36 5.
Attack From All Sides
The bombers first reached the Bras-
Fiery road. They then separated in
two parts, one going to the eastward
toward Thiaumont work and the sec
ond pushing northward toward Vach
erauville and Pepper Hill.
Last week the first part stormed a
redoubt west of Thiaumont and after a
stiff fight went beyond that position.
The second party reached the little
wood of Vacherauville.
The whole section from Vacherau
ville to the approaches of Souville thus
were in the hands of the French and
the higher command judged the time
ripe to attack from all sides at once.
Attacked from the northwest and
the southeast the Germans in Fleury
offered desperate resistance but the
French bayonets finally prevailed.
Some Germans managed to escape to
the Vaux-le-Chapitre wood, but a
majority was taken prisoner.
The sum up, the French in their
last three days' offensive regained all
the ground that the Germans had tak
en several weeks to conquer.
They took all the position for a
depth of about a mile from the slopes
of Souville fort to the approaches of
hill No. 320. as well as in the woods
east of Vacherauville and in the
Vignes ravine which borders to the
west of Froide Terre hill. The French
also installed themselves in positions
southwest, south and southeast of the
famous Thiaumont woods.
COMMISSIONERS TO START SOON

Mexico City, Aug. 4. The depart

States of Luis Cabrera and Alberto
Pcinl who with Ygnacio Bonillas have
been selecte dto reach a settlement
with the United tates commissioners
of the questions at issue between the
two countries, will not be long de
layed, according to the general belief
here. It is possible that the com
missioners may travel north on one of
the vessels of the Mexican navy, if it
appears that their departure would be
delayed by the infrequent sailing of
merchant vessels.

new men have been employed by the
company as "beginners" and these
men are receiving instructions right
along from older trolleymen. Scores of
the strike-breakers have been sent
back to New York, Chicago and
Brooklyn, according to President Mus
ser to-day and there are to-day less
than two dozen at the barns.
President Musser denied emphat
ically to-day that the company was
paying folks to ride on the cars or was
distributing tickets to travelers on the
suburban lines in order to give the
appearance of increasing patronage.
"If people are traveling on tickets,
the passengers may be employes of
business firms or houses which distri
bute tickets to the clerks for conve
nience sake. But so far as the com
pany's end of this is concerned, there
is absolutely nothing to it," declared
the traction head.
Some curious stories of attacks on
cars were recounted to-day.
One dealt with the way some young
men or boys, strike sympathizers pre
sumably, had grabbed a Vine street
trolleyman, thrown a rope around his
neck and hustled him to the river
bank. After frightening him rather
badly the crowd released him. Anoth
er story was of a motorman who was
struck on the head with a brick and
had to have his injury treated at the
Harrisburg hospital.
Vice-President J. J. Thorpe to-day
called at police headquarters with a
gigantic petition to Mayor E. S. Meals
requesting the city's chief executive
magistrate not to interfere with the
Jitney oprations. The Mayor is out
of town so that the paper cannot be
submitted until to-morrow. The
prayer weighed 32 ounces and meas
ured 120 feet in length.
Penbrook Holds Big
Mass Meeting in the
Interest of Strikers
Hundreds of people of Penbrook
and the neighborhood round about,
heip'ed crowd the town square last
evening at the mass meeting held in
the interests of the trolleymen's strike.
And Penbrook's police force of one
cop hadn't the slightest trouble in
handling the crowds.
Hugh L. McLaughlin presided at
the session and among the speakers
who told the story of the strikers were
John J. Thorpe, vice-president of the
Amalgamated Electric and Street Kail-*
way Empliyes, J. E. Roach and
Emanuel Jacobs, representatives of
the American Federation of Labor
and Charles F. Quinn, secretary of the
State Federation of Labor.
Railroad men yesterday voiced their
sentiments relative to the jitney
problem and at a meeting last evening
Lodge No. 383, Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, adopted resolutions
asking the mayor not to crowd the
jitneys from the streets. The resolu
tions in part follow:
"Resolved, That we, the members
of Harrisburg lodge, No. 353, Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen, re
quest the honorable mayor of Harris- !
burg to do nothing that will compel
the jitneys operating In the city now 1
to be removed; also that you use
every means In your power to per
suade the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany to recede from their stand and
bring about a settlement of the dis
pute, so that it can be known that
industrial problems arising in Har
risburg can be settled without mal
ice, enmity or disturbance to the
public peace."
Two Strikers Arrested on
Stone-Throwing Charge
John Mosser, a motorman, and John
Watson, a conductor, both strikers,
were arrested early this morning at
State and Cameron streets, charged
with throwing bricks and stones at a
Penbrook car. Two windows in the
car were broken. In default of $1,500
bail each, the men went to jail until
this afternoon when they were given
a hearing by Alderman Deshong at the
police station.
The men were arrested by Sheriff
William Caldwell, James Kautz a de
puty sheriff; and Constable William
Windsor, 111. of the Third ward, who
had been trailing the car in an auto
mobile. Superintendent of Detectives
William Windsor was also In the vicin
ity and said he witnessed the throw
ing of bricks.
Word was received at the police sta
tion at midnight that a crowd had
gathered in the vicinity of State and
Cameron streets was waiting on the
last car from Penbrook. Sheriff Cald
well with Deputy Kautz and Constable
Windsor went to the scene in an auto
mobile; while Detective Windsor and
several patrolmen were taken In the
police ambulance to a point near
where the crowd had gathered. When
the car reached State and Balm street
the first brick was thrown. Sheriff
Caldwell was nearby and picked out
Mosser as the man who threw the
brick. The second brick was thrown
soon after, and it was said Watson was
seen by Detective Windsor and other
officers with the brick before it was
thrown. Both Watson and Mosser
were charged with malicious Injury to
railroads.

Overcrowded LinglestownCar
Complaint that the Harrisburg Rail
ways Company was overcrowding cars

office to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock

Meals use every effort possible with
the Harrlsburg Railways Company to

they request that he allow the Jitneys

The strikers had planned to present
this mammoth petition to-day but
Mayor Meals went to Gettysburg this
morning and will not return until late
this afternoon. Petitions have been in
circulation for the past three
This morning all the names were past

10 feet in length. When rolled up this
