He asserted successive checks have not discouraged the Germans and that they will continue their efforts to gain control of this hilly forest region called the "Thermopylae of Franpe." Lieutenant Colonel Rousset and other military writers agree, however, that the French forces have made such preparation as to ensure the failure of all efforts on the part of the Crown Prince's army.

The papers arrived dur OF SAN ANTONIO, July 2. Motion for a rehearing' in the jitney case, styled R. P. Greene against the City of San Antonio and others, was overruled yesterday by the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals. The opinion, written by Chief Justice W.

S. Fly, reiterated findings in the opinion on the case delivered about two weeks ago. Justice Fiy says the city has absolute control of the streets and if it wishes even can forbid their use by the jitneys. The contention that the city has no authority to charge occupation fee of $25, because a Tennessee court ruled a city in Tenessee could not, Justice Fly holds is void as far as it applies to local conditions. He says as soon as passeflngers are carried, the motor vehicles engaging in this business come under the designation of "common carriers," and thereby are subject to an occupation tax.

Excitement over- the destruction of the British steamer Armenian with thd loss of a number of American lives was considerably relaxed today following the receipt of unofficial advices telling of the apparent refusal of the ship's commander to heed the warning of the German submarine to stop.
