London.—The garrison of the fort ress of Novogeorgievsk, which was left behind by Grand Duke Nicholas when he commenced the evacuation of Poland to delay the advance of the German invaders, after accomplishing its task for just a fortnight, has suc cumbed to the heavy siege artillery of the Germans, which throughout the war has made every fort attacked by it untenable. Berlin has announced the capture of the fortress with 700 guns and 85, »00 prisoners together with a large quantity of war materials. It had been hoped by the Russians that the earthworks around the fortified camp would enable it to hold out much longer than it lias done. It is now expected by the military observers that the other Russian fortresses, such as Brest-Litovsk. Grodno and Ossowetz. will be captured or given up. Six Austro-Gemian armies, strengthened by the corps which have been investing Novogeorgievsk. arc converging on the Russian center which is behind the Bug. and along the railway from Brest-Litovsk to Bialystok and no doubt will soon commence a bombardment of Brest Litovsk. inner armies nave cleared me i whole of the left hank of the Rug lvtore Brest-1.itovsk. while Field Marshal von Mackenzen. having crossed the Rug. is advancing on the fortress from the south. This means that the obstacle of the marshes has been cercumvented and that Brest Littovsk. the chief military depot and conci ntration center of Russia, is vir tually enveloped. Although military observers are of the opinion that the grand duke prob ably will be able to withdraw his ar nues in safety, the loss of these lines is considered a graver military mis fortune than the loss of Warsaw The German success has been due almost entirely to their great su perionty in artillery and the military critics express the belief that as long as they maintain this and continue to press forward the Russians must retire before them. While the Russian armies remain intact, however, these critics are optimistic as to the future Americans On Arabic Drown. Loudon.—At lest five passengers, two of whom were Americans, and forty members of the crew lost thoii lives when the White Star liner Ara bic was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine off Fastnet Au gust 1!>.

Lincoln. -The Nebraska National guard will be built up in a common sense, practical manner, and in i borough accord with the wishes ot President Wilson, commander-in-chief of the organized militia of the nation, is the word given out by General P. L. Hal! following a review of military conditions in the state. "The president’s will—which 1 as sume to be the will of this nation—• shall be my will,” said the general. General Hall thinks the foundation stone of state, though, rests on peace, and that peace extends upward though every bit of the governmental structure. But he no more assumes that the people want to drive the na tional guard down to a mere nothing than that they want to disperse the police departments of their towns and cities and do away with their sheriffs and their prosecuting attorneys. "There Is no medium line." said the general. “Either we must have a militia that corresponds to the ideas of the national government or we must have none at all. There is no half-way mark because a half-equip red, poorly organized guard would be an utter waste of money. We could save several thousand dollars a year by refusing to send our men to camp." said he. "and we could save several thousands of dollars more by refusing to pay the armory rentals—but th*‘ companies would deteriorate and ir time there would be none in the state. Then when we needed them we would be helpless.” Calls for Poll Sheets. A law passed hy the Nebraska 'eg Islature in 1913 provides that, undet the initiative and referendum, the county clerks of the respective coun ties, shall, within thirty days after each general e'er*ion. forward to the secretary of state one set of poi1 sheets of each of the voting precincts of his coun’y. Some forty-eight coun ties failed to comply with this r ■ quirement of the statutes and Score tary of State Pool has given each o> such officials notice to comply there with at the earliest possible moment. In cases where officials fail to forward such books, the secretary of state is authorized to send a messenger for them, at the exppnse of the county. Ordered Back to Prison. Governor Morehead has ordered the return of Kenneth Murphy, sent from Cherry county, to the state peniten tiary, following his arrest in Lincoln for an alleged connection with the theft of automobiles hy two othei former convicts. Young Murphy was furloughed by the governor a year and a half ago. At that time the lad promised that he would make good. He was thought to be making good until this matter came up. The gov ernor thought him one of the bright est. convicts ever sent to the state prison. List of 70 Bulletins Printed.
