Preliminary Fighting Begins
in What May Become the
Decisive Battle
BATTLE LINE TO Be
800 MILES LONG
Russians Claim Germans
We're Routed With Great
Slaughter at Nieman

The German right wing con-
tinued strongly on the offensive
in northern France today.
The allies said the Teutons
had made no important gains,
but the Germans asserted they
had forced the allies ito retreat
considerably"
The kaiser's account was that
the allies resistance was weak
ening at other points, too.
The French, however, had re-
taken positions about Saint
Mihiel, the Germans saying the
forces which held them we're
more needee elsewhere.
In the east, preliminary fight
ing had begun in what promised
to develop into battle involving
more than 100000 along an
800 mile front, from Tilsit to the
Carpathians.
The Russians gave many de-
tails of the battle Of the NiemeD
river, in which they claimed the
Germans were routed and left
thousands" dead on the field.
The Germans, seemingly tired
of denying this defeat, claimed
victory over the Russians at
Lyck,
Say Russians Beaten.
The Austrians declared the Russians
who were trying 10 take Cracow had
been bndly beaten and that they them
selves had retaken Nowy Sandec from
the Russians
The Austrian loss OF Tarnow was also
denied, though II was said there were

The European war gives us an opportunity, a
great opportunity. But It is only an opportunity.
The notion which prevails IN many minds seems
TO be that thanks to the war, the buyers Of South
America and China must walk in and beseech us
90 sell them goods; that can sit back and wait
for the world TO hand us It's trade. How far that

can We make any real Roadway.

Let Mr.. Ellis study the following
computations:

yield OF 80 per cent, being % per cent

$4,000 birds this means $500 more eggs
