It was said that he would wait for full official infor- HJ mation before deciding what course to pursue, but that a' thorough Inves- tigatlon would be conducted. The president displayed deep inter- est, but refused to make any official comment. Ho had been told that a favorable reply from Germany to the last American noto protesting against tho submarine warfare was probable and therefore tho word of the sinking Hl of the Armenian was received here Hl with surprise. Thep resident adopted tho same at- titudo he maintained after the sink- ing of tho Lusltania and tho Nobras- kan and tho attack on the Gulflight and other ships carrying Americans that of reserving judgment until all available Information is obtained. It was said at his residence that he had not changed his plan of romain- ing here over July 4 because of the news about tho Armenian, but that no prediction could be made as to what he would do after full official information had been received.

nr RUSSIAN RETREAT MADEINDISORDER HJ London, Juno 30. The Russians are again retreating along the entire front, according to the official state- ment received hero tonight from Vienna. Earlier reports had indicated that a stand was being made by the czar's forces on the Gnila Lipa, but the late Austrian advices say that the fighting here is progressing fa- vorably for the Teutons. On the heels of the retreating Rus- Hl sians the Austro-German armies havt Hj pressed further into Russian territory in the district southeast of Lubin, ac- cording to Berlin reports. Across the Tanew also the Teutons have pressed forward, occupying an important height after sweeping across the great Tanew plain.

Hj Successes by the Germanic armies on the east bank of the Vistula havt forced the Russians to evacuate a number of positions on tht opposite Hl shore, according to the Vienna state- raenL The Russians are reported to be fleeing from strong positions on the Zawichosi-Ozarow-Slenno front. The Teutons have occupied Zawlchost. The Russians are delivering rear guard attacks, but some disorder is accompanying their retreat, accord- ing to advices reaching here. The Russian armies are distributed in a crescent-shaped front around Leraberg, the center of which is in Hv the vicinity of Tomaszow. Here the Austro-Gerraans are directing tremen- dous attacks with huge forces in an armies and Afen a road to Warsaw from the rear.

The hasty Russian retreat to- ward the north evidently is being made in an effort to prevent the success of this maneuver. HUB LONDON EXMIE WOKS ENGLISH London, June 30, 5:30 p. m.

I 1 tinuos to bo much discussed, the treasury appearing to be willing to permit gold to florf to America In part payment of the balance created by war purchases. The exchange situation meanwhilo has not been remedied. E. F. Davles, chairman of tho committee of English and foreign bankers on exchange problems, in discussing the exchange problem today, said to an Associated Press "I consider tho best way for Ameii-lean exchange to bo righted will be by Americans subscribing liberally to tho war loan, exchange being at present something like 2 per cent In lavor of America on such an operation, or by Americans granting about $500,000,000 of credit to Great Britain.

The former way is much tho better one, but oither is in the interest of both countries, and America thereby would pay herself for her shipments to this country. Paris dopendB solely on London, and any payments for munitions or food must be made through London," oo DARDANELLES NOT EASY TO CONQUER ixmdon, July 1, 2:35 a. m. After a trip under Turkish auspices along the whole line of forts guarding tho Dardanelles, tho Constantinople correspondent of the Daily Telegraph declares that it is impossible to expect a speedy forcing of tho straits by tho allies. "Tho Turks have taken advantage of the past three months to increase Immensely their defensive resources, until the whole path which the Franco-Britons must travel is one great fortress, bristling with artillery, crowded with troops excellently trained, well equipped and undeniably brave," says tho correspondent.

"The presence of numerous German officers and men is a guarantee that all the preparations are being made with Teutonic thoroughness. "The forts are all built along the same lines, the walls being raised about thirty feet above the foundations and constructed about sixty feet deep of revetted earth, with usually eight embrasures with a six-inch gun in each. Those guns are of tho old type and lack the rapid-fire features of the most modern artillery, but this is no great handicap in operating against ships la the narrow passage The ships shells have no appreciable effect on the fortresses unless they make a direct hit on tho gun cm-erasures, which is difficult marksmanship. "The Turkish troops outnumber the allies in Gallipoli two to ono and have the advantage of salient positions." uu GERMANS MAY AID THE TURKS FIGHT London, July 1, 3 '30 m. An interesting discussion of the German policy is reproduced by the Times this morning from German newspapers.

Dr. Ernest Jaeckh, a well-known writer, maintains that if the English statesmen had to choose they would rather lose Calais than Suez, and contends that England's main desire is to protect Egypt Count Von Reventlow, military writer for the Tages Zeitung, agrees with Dr. Jaeckh in the latter respect He says that the attempted Invasion of Egypt in January was only an experiment and that German engineers are now building a Syrian railway and a Sinai railway, which will convey the necessary heavy artillery and open tho way from Constantinople to Suez. He adds that the way from Berlin to Constantinople must bo opened by a decisive victory in Gall-cia; then England can be struck a mortal blow in Egypt. "England's main Interest In the Dardanelles," he says, "is the protection of Egypt, and that is the explanation of all the efforts to range the Balkan countries against the Teutonic allies." Count Von Reventlow disagrees with Dr.

Jaeckh in thinking Calais less Important to England than Suez, and says that the question of Calais is more complicated, but equally important. io MUNITIONS FOR BRITISH FORCES London, Juno 30, 11:30 p. m. The seven days granted the trade unionists by the minister of munitions, David Lloyd-George, to make good their pledge that they would prove able to supply the needed munitions workers, without recourse to compulsion, expired tonight With respect to results, W. E.

Morgan, who is Mr. Lloyd-George's chief assistant in this department of his work, said: "The enrollments are so highly satis factory that I think I can say that the voluntary system has Justified Itself as applied to munitions workers. During the last two days the enrollment has averaged 10,000 a day." Austrians Use Mauser Rifles Huerta Ordered. In Italy, June 30. Some new Austrian rifles, captured by the Italians, have an eagle stamped on the barrel.

The rifles are Mausers, made to the order of General Huerta, but never delivered. oo Chief of Staff Honored. Berlin, June 30, by wireless to Say-ville.

and Mrs. Samuel Blair were seriously injured last night in Ogden canyon, by being thrown from a buggy, into an open ditch where workmen of the Portland Wood Pipe company arc placing tho new water main for Ogden City to tho artesian wells. Mr. Blair received a severe cut across the top of his head and was otherwise injured, and Mrs. Blair suffered a broken right arm, a sprained ankle, the ligaments in her legs were badly strained and sho was otherwise Injured.

The accident was witnessed by Georgo Folkman, a watchman on the work, and ho, with some passing au-tomobilists. went to their assistance. They were carried to Pine Crest hotel part of the Wilcox camp and Dr Pidcock, who was In the canyon, was summoned. News of tho accident was received in Ogden about fl o'clock by Mrs. John Culley, a daughter, and she and Mr Culley immediately proceeded to the Wilcox camp.

The Blalrs were driving slowly along tho canyon road, just east of the power dam, when an automobile approached and Mr. Blair tried to reach a point where the machine could pass. Owing to the bad condition of the road, which Is cut with construction work, the sudden hurrying up of the horse caused one of tho buggy shafts to break, frightening the horso and a runaway followed, upsetting tne buggy and throwing its occupants headlong Into the open ditch King Baggot in "A Strange Disappearance," From the story by Anna K.

The husiness year of the federal government came to an end tonight with treasury officials still unable to determine how much of a deficit the accounts of receipts and expenditures for the last twelve months will show. Internal revenue offices throughout the country telegraphed that they would remain open until a late hour tonight and that figures on the last day's returns would not be available until some time tomorrow.

The deficit today, exclusive of disbursements on account of the Panama canal, was well over $75,000,000, hut officials were confident that figure will bo materially reduced. The Income tax up until today had produced only about $40,000,000, but estimates of the total return from this source have agreed on something over $80,000,000. Congress amonded the law so that persons or corporations who do not pay until July 10 are not subject to penalty, and there is no way of telling how many are waiting until the last moment to pay. No Need for Bond Issue. Estimates of the treasury deficit today varied between $40,000,000 and $60,000,000.

Receipts in the last few days, however, have made It apparent that there will be no present need for a bond Issue, looked upon as a probability a few months ago. One fact that officials do not overlook in considering the present condition of the treasury Is that the post-office department has run behind somewhere between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000. Many reasons are given for this, among them the condition of business during the first few months of the war, the closing of the stock exchange for a long period, and the falling off In foreign business. Customs Receipts Diminished. Customs receipts of tho government have apparently not been far under what was expected by officials a few months ago.

Secretary McAdoo estimated that customs would bring In about $240,000,000 and It seemed probable tonight that the total would not be below $210,000,000. From all Information avallablo now, the emergency tax law has not been such a good revenue producer as was expected. The Internal revenue bureau has not divided receipts from this source from those from ordinary Internal revenue taxes, but It is pretty well understood that the law lias not lived up to expectations. Receipts from the taxes on whisky, in particular, have shown a falling off. V7U ITALIANS GAIN A MOUNTAIN FORT Geneva, Switzerland, via Paris, June o0, 11:55 p.

m. A dispatch from Lai-bach, Austria, to the Geneva Tribune, reports the capture by Italians of a mountain fortress at Coni Sugna, 2500 meters northeast of Ala, in Trentluo, which cost tho Austrians $800,000 to construct. The correspondent characterizes the capture as an "audacious affair." He states that an Italian captain' with 100 men climbed the steep slope and demanded that tho garrison surrender, saying that the fortress was surrounded, which was a bluff, and the garrison capitulated. Concerning other operations, the dispatch says: "The Italians on the Carnic frontier captured three passes in the Alps yos-terday. The Austrians have begun not only resisting, but attacking, and the battle around Gorizia is a bloody one, both sides using heavy guns and there being many infantry counter-attacks.

"There is every evidence the Italians are meeting strong organized forces, especially on tho Isonzo, and are still a long way from Trlest, although they are within twenty miles at Monfalcone." UU SOLDIERS CARRY CHARMS TO WARD OFF DISASTER. In a skeptical and materialistic age like tho (present, oays Eye-Wltness In ono of tho latest war dispatches, "it is somewhat surprising to find reliance being placed on charms; and yot not a few of tho Germans wc have taken prisoners are in possession of so-called which are really written' charms against death, wounds, disasters and every Imaginary evil." Ono writton German charm found on a prisoner begins thus: "May God preserve mo against all manner of arms and weapons, shot and cannon, long or short swords, knives or daggers, or carbines, or halberds, and anything else that cuts or points; against thrusts, rapiers, long and short rifles or guns, and such like." After further circumlocution, the list goes on to Include "all kinds of evil reports, from a blow from bohlnd, from witchcraft and well-stealing." But, curiously enough, It omits the only ralschnnco which actually befell tho owner that of being made a prisoner of war. In addition to such written charms against casualties in war, German soldiers also carry various amulets and charms, probably of very ancient origin, and which would seem to have ibecn handed down from generation to generation. These charms are of various designs. One quaint figure looks like the jack of a pack of cards and bears the Inscription, "The King and the Sword." It is usually worn round tho neck by German soldiers In order that they may escapo bullets and shell fire.

Very curious, too, Is the" talisman which seems to depict part of a letterpress and a spinning wheel, ornamented with various allegorical figures, the strange design boarlng the words: "From death In battlo savo thou me. Protect thou me from death by the sword." Gorman soldiers, however, are not alone In treasuring amulets. A number of luok-Jbrlngers are carried by Russian and Austrian soldiers. The Russians mostly carry an Ikon which has been blessed by a priest as a protection against wounds and death in warfare. Some of them also have great faith In the charms of portions of chains which have bound prison-el's, and in grotesque metal figures of reputed miracle workers.

British soldiers, too, place some faith in tho protective qualities of arious charms, although these are usually something given to them by their women folk. London jewelers speak enthusiastically of the boom In charms, and the manager of one well known Jeweler confesses that his houso has sold thousands of lucky charms sinco tho war began. Jade ornaments seom to be most popular 1 and it Is a curious fact that Colonial soldiers have a belief that a charm bought In London will bring them greater luck than one bought anywhere else. Other lucky souvenirs which have been purchased largely by soldiers and women are tho crests and arms of various regiments. I FREIGHT RATES NOT INCREASED Washington, Juno 30.

Tho interstate commerce commission today postponed until September 20 the hearing on the proposed increases in freight rates in western territory The hearings were to have been begun on July 14 In Chicago. Washington, June 30. Proposed increased rates on stone In carloads from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Minnesota transfer, to Des Moines were suspended today until October 29 by the Interstate commerce commission. Tho commission also suspended schedules of the Baltimore Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads proposing Increased rates on imported ferro-manganeBe in carloads from eastern seaboard ports to Portsmouth, Ohio, and other points in the middle west.

Little Rock, June 30. Judge Jacob Trieber In the federal court late today declared unreasonable the St. Louis San Francisco railroad's tariff which was made effective in Arkansas April 29, and which members of the Arkansas railroad commission declared was from 30 to 35 per cent higher than tho commission's tariff. Judge Trieber ordered into effect a court tariff similar to that in effect on the Cotton Belt, Rock Island and Iron Mountain roads during the two-cent rate litigation. Exceptions were made which deal with the relations of tho interstate rates and intrastate rates.

Members of the railroad commission tonight declared themselves as greatly pleased with Judge Trieber's decision. SECRET MHIHGE IS MADE PUBLIC Salt Lake, July 1. But for a marriage ceremony at Farmlngton last Friday, a society Item would have been in order this morning announcing the departure of Miss Cassandra Wood and her mother, Mrs. Wood, for Spencer, yesterdav afternoon. As it was, Mrs.

William Jackson Kennedy, formerly Miss Cassandra Wood, traveled with Mrs Wood in the big touring automobile that left Salt Lake for the Wood ranch in Idaho. The mother, it is said, was unaware of her daughter's marriage. William Jackson Kennedy, 27 years of age, a bond and mortgage broker of Milwaukee, whose business has brought him to Salt Lake frequently is a guest at the Hotel Utah. He said last night that he and hla wl? had planned to keep their marriage a secret for the present and had be-gun to flatter themselves that the secret was safe with them and a few friends. Naturally, he was somewhat surprised and bewildered when awakened from a sound sleep to hear the secret was out, and he said ho rather sympathized with those to whom tho announcement of the marriage would como this morning as startling news.

Miss Cassandra Wood, society belle and heiress, has by achievement written her name largo in the list of Salt Lake's talented and accomplished musicians. She studied music for two years in Europe under the masters of vocal art and her singing has reflected credit upon her teachers. Thousands have had opportunity to hqar her as a soloist and member of the choir of St. Mary's cathedral. Mr.

Kennedy accepted congratula- II Through Unproductive Territory 1 The building up of a comprehensive telephone system requires the construo- fl 1 tion of a network of long" lines connecting every exchange with every other 11 1 exchange. fl In this western country this means crossing wide barren stretches of desert i plains and negotiating rugged and treacherous mountain passes. i Nowhere in the civilised world is this task fraught with more difficulties, more construction problems, or more human hardships than those which ap- pear in the territory which we serve. Nowhere else is construction so expensive and nowhere else' is -the maintei nance cost so high. I And yet these long distance lines, often crossing miles of unproductive ter- ritory, are absolutely necessary to make your telephone service compre- hensive, complete, and therefore valuable to you.

When first asked about the secret marriage Mr Kennedy resorted to skillful evasion in an effort to make a last stand for preservation of the secret- His admission, however, was forced by a recitation of the facts as revealed by the records at the Davis county capital. Mr. Kennedy is a stock, mortgage and loan broker of Milwaukee. He first met Miss Wood in Salt Lake last September.

At that time Mr. Kennedy was in Salt Lake to negotiate a deal in coal and asphalt properties for eastern capitalists. He returned to this city about nine weeks ago and the marriage Friday was the culmination of the romance that had its beginning last fall. nr DISBARMENT OF UTAH ATTORNEY Salt Lake, July 1. City Detective "William Zeese's lack of memory provoked several sensations yesterday in the first ddy of the disbarment proceedings instituted by the Utah State Bar association against Attorney Wll-lard Hanson on a charge of unprofessional conduct.

"I cannot recollect at this time," was the detective's stock answer to tho questions of Attorney General Barnos, conducting the prosecution, about sums of money alleged to have been paid by Willard Hanson to Zeese and other detectives to insure "protection" to confidence men in the year 1912. Zeese excused his bad memory by saying that his heart bothered him. Ills head ached and he didn't want to incriminate himself. Attorney General Barnes finally became exasperated at the failure of the witness to remember anything, and appealed to Referee E. O.

Lee, before whom the evidence is being taken, to compel the witness to make direct answers to questions. Threatened With Jail. -Referee Lee had become exasperated, too, and threatened to cast Detcc- tlvo Zeese into jail until such time a his memory revived. The referee, after listening to tho witness' an- swera for several hours, expressed the belief that the detective was not entirely sincere In profession of lack of memory. "The attitude of this witness all day," said the referee from the bench, "leads the referee to believe that he is not a truthful witness when he says continually that he cannot remember.

The referee feels that he has the power to commit the witness to jail until such time as he can remember, or recommend his commitment to the supreme court. The referee then ordered the detective to answer "yes" or "no" to the query of Attorney General Barnes if Zeese had not told the attorney general previously that he had received sums of money from Hanson as "protection" to swindlers. "No, I did ubt," said Zeese, when thus ordered. Zeese also answered "no" to the question as to whether he had ever received sums of money at any time from Mr. Hanson.

Almost every minute of the day there was acrimonious conflict between Zeese. and the attorney general and between the latter and Soren X. Chrlstcnsen, counsel for Willard Hanson. The attorney general and Mr. Christensen had repeated legal arguments, in which sarcastic personal references were exchanged.

When tho referee ordered Zeese to answer "yes" or "no" to questions of the prosecution, the witness and Attorney Christensen voiced strenuous opposition. Mr. Christensen argued that Zeese could, within his constitutional right, refuse to answer questions which might Incriminate him, and asked that Zeese might have opportunity to engage counsel of his own to advise him. Zeese vociferously seconded this plea. He charged that he had not received a "square deal' on the witness stand UU- NAVAL LOSSES OF BRITISH HEAVY Berlin, Jun.e 30 (by wireless to Say-ville.)
