THOSE SISTERS MIXHAIR SCORED VERY HIGH, TOO UT THE ORDUNA SPEEDING MOTOR KITS LOCOMOTIVE VILLA DEAD SEEKING GDLD London, Sept. 11. Another success on the South Galician front, resulting In the capture of 6,000 men, Is announced by the Russians. Even the Petrogrnd newspapers, however, admit that this section of the fighting area is not of the most vital Importance, since Field Marshal Von Mackensen Is still hovering along- the line of minor forts which form the last remaining defenses in the way of complete control of the railroad system desired by the Invaders. The Russians declare that the Initiative In the isolated engagements on the southern wing Is gradually passing into their hands.

Nearer the center of the line Von Mackensen is still pushing his way vigorously through the Pripet marshes towards Pinsk. North and south of his headquarters, strong offensive movements have been developed near Grodno and on the road to Rovno. On the other fronts there Is not as much action as in the east so far as official reports indicate. Sharp fighting is in progress along the Austro-Italian battle line but no fresh news has been received from the Vosges and the Argonne, where the Germans have launched heavy attacks against French trenches. The only new feature of the near eastern diplomatic puzzle Is the assertion from Bulgarian that Sofia feels her past neutrality Is a sufficient reward for Turkish concessions.

Cunard Liner Makes Clean Get-Away From the German Plunger in Pursuit. Now Comes Note From Gerard in Which Berlin Presents Excuse for Act. Washington, Sept.

11. The note delivered to Ambassador Gerard by the German foreign office yesterday, which was believed to be a supplemental eoniniunication on the sinking of the Arabic, now is understood to be a note on the unsuccessful attempt to torpedo the Cunarder Orduna several weeks ago. Has an Alibi, The note had not been received in Washington early today and the State Department had no information of its whereabouts. In circles close to the German embassy however, it was said the note concerned the Orduna and that when its contents were known, It probably would be found that the German government claimed some sort of justification for the attack on the liner. Chased and Shelled.

The Orduna was chased and shelled by a submarine after a torpedo had missed her stern by a few wards on July 9. She was on a trip to the Unit ed states and carried as passengers 22 Americans. Ambassador Gerard made some inquiries bv direction of Washington and the German note now on its way is understood to be the result. What effect an attempt to justify the Orduna case would have on the situation already made delicate by Germany's stand on the Arabic, was the subject of wide speculation today among officials, who regarded the atmosphere as far from favorable. Of the Arabic.

Overnight consideration of the note on the Arabic indicates a softening of views among one set of officials who are inclined to further negotiations with Germany. Their views can not be stated as being President Wilson's, but their views will be urged upon the President before he makes up his mind what to do. While they agree that Germany's reply is disappointing and unsatisfactory, they urge that the Arabic case has come 'down to questions of Indemnity and of fact. The explanations offered by Germany for the sinking of the White Star liner differ materially from the statements in the hands of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. Those officials who favor further negotiation contend that whlcW set of facts Is correct ls'to let the case go to The Hague whhre, they also contend, the question of Indemnity could be ar bltrated without endangering the principles for which the United States has contended as governing submarine warfare.

Accept the Principle. There were Indications In official quarters today that the United States had received more unofficial and informal Intimations that, despite the attacks on the Arabic and the Hesperian, the German government actually had finally accepted the principle that unarmed merchantmen should not be attacked without warning unless they attemtped to escape or resisted capture.

Speaker Champ Clark of the National House of Representatives In an interview here last night endorsed the action of President Wilson in requesting Austria to recall Ambassador "It's a rule In every chillz.ed nation," said Clark, "that ministers of foreign countries must not mix up in domestic affairs.

A TRAGIC DEATH FOR BANK CLERK Tulsa Young Man Has Been Missing Since Last Tuesday Note to His Mother. Tulsa, Sept. 11.

the Ex change National Bank. A letter written by him to his mother was brought to the city this morning by his brother and now Is in the hands of the police. Detectives Pete Joyce and Harry Stoge are working on the case and it is ex pected to locate the body of the missing man either In some of the small lakes or in the river. The letter which young Kuhn wrote to his mother, Mrs. Mary Kuhn of Her mon, and which in turn was sent to the brother, George E.

Kuhn of Sa Una, to be brought to the police at Tulsa reads a3 follows: "Dear Mother: "I drowned myself this afternoon. I hope you all will forgive me for I have disgraced you and all the sisters and brothers so much that hereafter you will not hear from me Oh, mother, I do hope you will forgive me. May the Lord serve you well. "Lovingly, your son, "9-7-15." "OLANDO." The detectives who have been working on the case state that when they went to the rooms occupied by the missing bank clerk they found that his watch, scarf pin and small pocket change had been left on the dresser. Most of the clothing which he is thought to have possessed was still in the room and this fact puzzled the officers since it was not thought that he would leave these things behind.

Since the letter was handed to the police, however, these facts are pointed to as proof that the young man set out with the deliberate purpose of drowning himself after penning the letter to his mother. "Whether this deed was committed near the city is not known and It is considered likely that the man drowned himstlf in the river.
