Russia Abandons
Sphere in Persia
'Fra*?m The Trtt'Uiae Hur8?.u1
Washington, July 30.?Official ad?
vices from Teheran, Persia, state that,
the Ru.-sian Provisional Government !
has assured the Persian government.
that Perr.ia will be permitted to "de
velop in its own way, unhindered and
unafraid."
This is the first specific announce?
ment of the abandonment by Russia of;
her sphere of influence in Persia and
of her decisirn not to Interiora further
with the internal administration of
Persia. Russia'? sphere wag in the
north of the country, England's in the
south, and before the overthrow of
the Romanoff dynasty Russia practi-,
cally controlled tho internal affairs
of the nation.
Russia's action removes an obstacle
to the negotiation by Persia of ar-!
rangements for the supervision of her
financial affairs by a foreign adviser.
It is understood that both the Britiih
and Russian governments have been
sounded on this point by the Teheran
government, but no response from
either tho London or the Petrograd
Foreign Office has been received.
The dispatch from Teheran also
atated that Grand Duke Dimitrleff
Pavlovitch, who was refuted to have
been connected with the removal of
the monk. Rasputin from Russian af?
fairs, is a rlaitel there, and had been,
graciouEly entertained.
500 Big English Ships
Sunk in Last 6 Months
BirminghaVi, England, July 18. Mr.
Kellaway, Parliamentary Secretary of ?
the Minister of Munitions, after ex
plaining the imperative need of labor
dilution, told a gathering of munition
workers that this country had lost over
60??. ships, most of them of heavy ton?
nage, in six months.
He said that unless a good part of
that loss was made good by increasing
the output of new ships the country
must inevitably be starved into a shame?
ful peace.
Who knows when you'll
?tumble on values as good as
these again!
Some of our people think
we ought to hang on to them
at regular prices.
But our old policy prevails
?before taking in the Fall

I At Frontier
Stand on Border Heights,

Miles on Moldavia
Battle Front
London, July 30. -The Russians arc
finally attempting to make a stand on
their own soil. Though the Germans
have crossed the Zbrocz River, which
forms the border between Eastern Ga?
licia and Russia, at patatal points and
in considerable bodies, Berlin reports I
that the Russians are holding the ;
heights east of the stream and offering i
fierce resistance. The night bulletin '
indicates that at this point the Teu?
tonic advance has been halted, at least
for the time being.
Between this battlefield and the
Dniester River the -Russian front Is ?
still being withdrawn, probably to the
frontier, and the Austro-Germans hart
passed beyond Korolowka, which is lit?
tle more than ten miles from the bor?
der. South of the Dniester, however,
Korniloff's Seventh Army Is showing
more fight, and it appears to be the
intention of the Russian commander to
hold, if possible, Czernowitz, and a
broad strip of Bukowina as a defensive
belt before Besssrabia, one of the
chief Slavic granaries.
Below Zaleeszezyky, on the Dniester,
near its confluence with the upper
Sereth, the Germans admit they en?
countered a "bitter" defence which,
however, did not save the Russians
from being pressed back. Southwest
w*ard the Teutons are making progress
along the Cheremosh River, and over
the Bukowina border are moving up the
Sushawa and Moldova vallevs, but more
slowly and with greater difficulty.
Battle Line Resemble? "8"
Over the great stretch of territory I
from north of Tsrnopol to the Ru- !
manian border the ba'.tle line now lies
in the shape of a huge reversed "S." I
The northern and eastward swell of the
line crosses the Russian frontier for'
about twenty miles and the reverse
swell on the south swings around and
bulges out westward beyond Czer?
nowitz and then down into the Car?
pathians.
The German advance in the north,
where the eleventh Russian army was
disastrously broken, has been much
swifter than south of the Dniester,
where the seventh army, the best ?if
the Russian fighting forces, conducted '?
a more orderly retreat. Therefore, the
German troops across the Russian ,
frontier stand at the point of a huge
salient, which there may be danger in ,
extending. So the comparative slow
I ing down of the Teuton advance, which
i is noted in to-day's bulletins, may be ?
I due quite as much to German caution
' at to Rust?an recovery.
There is also a political aspect to th?
! situation. An invasion - * White Rus
i tia at this time might be an embarass
? ing military commentary ?m the unof?
ficial peace overtures which the Im?
perial German Chancellor is aiming at
the Moscow conference.
Rumanians Driving Ahead
It is not likely that the Teutonic for?
ward movement in Galicia has been
much hampered by the Russo-Kumanian
offensive into Transylvania, though at
the last reports this ?**as continuing
upon a normal course. A bulletin from
the Rumanian General Staff at Jatsy
deelarei that on Friday General Av
erescu had pushed kil aiffhtta**rMlla
front several miles ahead between the
t'as.n and PuT.u valleys, storming six ;
villages and capturing many prisoners
and a number of motor batteries. Dis?
patches from Petrograd say the Russo-|
Rumanians are proceeding circumspect
j ly i-o as not to expose themselvct to a
! counter blow.
This, however, list already been

' what success it is still to? early to

! that the Russians guarding this sector
are retreating.

Russia Believes Germany
Is Planning to Press
Her Victory in Galicia
: Frr.-ri Ttaa* Trtt.ir e Bureau!
Washington, July SO. Dispatches
from Petrograd to the Russian Em?
bassy to-day stated that a very serious
condition still exists at the front al?
though the Germans for the last two
days hav-> not developed their prei
on the Russian armies,as was expected.'
The nresenee of Emperor William at
the Eastern front convinces the I i
grad War Office that the enemy's at?
tention is fixed on that theatre and
that Germany is planning to push her
advantages.
On the Rumanian front, the embassy
was advised, the successes of the Rus?
sians are increasing, the width of the
battle front is broadening, and booty
and prisoners are growing in quantity
and number. The Russians, the dis?
patch asserted, are mat being incau?
tious in their advances, but are exer?
cising every care against surprise and
alao against any possible miscarriage
of their own plans, so as not to com?
promise the sitaatien. On this front
the Russians have been uniformly suc
eessful ?ver since their drive began,
without a single reverse.
The tear?-i?_:n Office informed tho em?
bassy that a civilian commission, ap?
pointed hy the Provisional Government,
has left Petrograd for the front to
treats aa iindorstaading between the
soldiers and the government and ta
explain to the sol.liers the necessity
far abolishing the order prohibiting
the imposition of the death penalty.
The commanders of the armies have

number of new regiments to 'ha. frei -.
and is disarming the mutinous regi?

London. July 30. There was a slack
?ning to-day in the extraonlinary artil?
lery duel in Flander?, which in the la?t
three week? has gradually been increas?
ing to an unpne.-dented intensity. Th?
P.rit;?h bulletins, consistently reticent
throughout the whole period, throw no
lighten the reasons forthislapse,except
to mention a violent thunderstorm yes?
terday morfning, which prevented fly?
ing and presumably interfered with ar?
tillery observation. The German War
Office announce? flatly that it was due
to "the paralysing influence of our of?
fensive activity which increased
throughout the ni^'ht?"
General Hait; refers to an increase
in the enemy's tire at Armenti?res,
which is on the right win? of the
bombanlcd front, and for the last
week the Germans have been hurling
a growing "aolume of ?hells at the two
ixtr'-mes of this thirty-three-mile
line, on th?*- coa?t and near the French
border. At these two points and be
tween them il .s ?aid that Hindenburg
has massed the greatest number of
guni the Germans have ever brought
together on any front for the pur?
pose of smothering any infantry move
! ment which Haig might undertake. The
Belgium communique says that twen?
ty-nine German batteries face their
lines.
Nevertheless, Germany expects a
British offensive. The "Vossiche
Zeitung* declara? that an a'tack by
Mail's armies Is imminent and that "an
infantry battle ?rill begin in a decisive
, form." The British ere methodically
carrying- out their preparation? in the
' air. Saturday niirht naval squadrons
! raided the regions around Bruges, Mid
dolherke and Chistelles, dropping sev?
eral tuns of bombs and causing many
-ions anil Area without the sac?
rifiai- ef a single flier. On the same
j night the army airmen bombed two
'?? railroad stations, a German airdrome
| and a munitions depot. Op. Sunday
I morning the air fighting became vio
! lent until 10 o'clock when a severe
? storm broke. Tha- British War Office
1 says six German plane? were account.-.1
| for and six British machines arc miss
j ing. Berlin declares that ten Frenrh
and British fliers were brought down
yesterday. The Royal Flying Corps is
encountering stronger German opposi?
tion.
The infantry actions on the Brit?
ish front wer?* insignificant, being con?
fined to local encounters near Bulle
court and Acheville and a British raid
into the enemy lines p.* Lombaertzyde,
on the Yser, near the coast. The Ca?
nadians pushed unexpectedly forward
into Cite de Moulin, a suburb of Lens,
in broad daylight. Previously the
Canadian attacks have come at night,
and their scouts learned that the Ger?
mans, taking it for granted that this
would continue to be ?o, abandone.)
their defences during the day. Conse?
quently, the Canadian forces were en?
abled to gain a strip of territory a

count of a French counter ofensivo

400 Children, Near
Death by Gas ?Bombs,
Saved by Red Cross
Removed From Frontier Town
Bombarded by German
Aviators
Paris, July .10.?Four hundred ?mall
children, threatened with death by
asphyxiating gas bombs dropped by
enemy aviators, were successfully re?
moved to-day from a small French town
near the firm?; line to a place of safety
by the American Red Cr?s? in response
to the first emergency call received at
the Parisian headquarters.
The first word of the children's con?
dition reached headquarters late Thurs
riff" afternoon, and the nex' day the
Red Cross sent doctors and nurse? and
a truckload of condensad milk, cloth
lug and dnifca for their relief. Tha
children were bathed, fed and provldei
with clean clothing. They were giver
medical attention and finally tram
ferred to a ?afer locality.
A? the German aviators are usin?.
gas bomb? and because it I? impos?
sible to equip children properly with
gas masks, It. has been considered
necessary to take them out of the dan?
ger zone. Many mothers who are busy
harvesting crop? have been unable to
give adequate care to their children,
and the Red Cross has now taken them
under it? control temporarily.

Monroe Clothes
for LESS
Right now, when the papers are full of "Reduc
tion Sale3," is a splendid time to make comparison*-)
between Monroe Clothes at $15 and others at any?
where near the price.
Compare, for instance, the Shantung silk suit^
that you'll find on sale elsewhere at the "reduced"
price of $20 with Monroe Shantung silk suits selling
regularly at $15. Only those near-sighted persons
with an utter lack of value appreciation will hesitate
to choose the Monroe suit as tho best buy. Put any
Monroe suit to this test?you'll find it an experi?
ment that your summer pocketbook will more than
welcome.
Low upstairs rent, no middleman's profit, a
one-price policy the year 'round, no "special salea"
?these are the three big reasons why Monroe cus?
tomers are satisfied customers, why there are over
100,000 wearers of Monroe Clothes in New York
City to-day who won't switch.
Come up to-day and make us prove our claim.
