TERRIFIC FIGHTING CONTINUES
ON THE AUTRiA-RUSSIA FROM
TIER. BOTH THE COMBINED AUS
TRAN AND GERMAN FORCES AND
THE RUSSIAN ARMIES CLAIM AN
ADVANTAGE. THE APPEARANCE
OF FRESH FORCES OF GERMANS
ON THE PRuSSIAN FRONT SHOWS
THE GERMANS HAVE BEEN WITH
DRAWING TROOPS FROM THE
WESTERN FRONT TO REINFORCE
THE AUsTRo-eERMAN LINES IN
THE EAST.
Berlin, Aug. 81 (wireless to. Asso-
ciated Press).-It was officially an
nounced today that about thirty thou
sand Russians were taken prisoners
by the Germans during the fighting in
East Prussia, particularly at Orten-
berg, Hohenstein and Tanneburg.
They include many officers Of high
rank. The German attack at these
three points was across swamps and
lakes.
London, Aug. 81 (Afternoon)-An
official telegram received at London
declares fresh forces of Germans made
their appearance on the Prussian
frontier and that at some points they
are taking the offensive against the
Russians.
Battle Front 42o Miles.
Berlin, Aug. % (via Copenhagen.
London)-An account of Austrian op-
erations obtained in Berlin from an
official Austrian source says: ''In the
Austria-Russian theatre of war decis-
i've battles have been in progress sew
eral days. Our forces, which were
victorious near Krasnik, pursued the
Russians in the direction of Lublin.
The Austrians advanced also into en-
emy's territory between the rivers
Bug and Wieperz and we have taken
position in frCnt of Zamos." Other
contingents of the Austrian army hold
their positions northeast and south
west of Lemberg. After crossing the
Dniester they encountered great forces
of the enemy. Emphasis is placed on
the word decisive" in this official re-
port The Austro-Russian battle front
stretches a distance of 420 miles.
The correspondent of the Berlin
Tageblatt at Austrian headquarters,
telegraphing Aug. 2S regarding events
subsequent to the defeat of the Rus
slams at Krasnik, says the Austrian
army advanced in the direction of
Lublin with the object of making i'm
possible a clash of the Russian army
of the Vistula with its right wing.
This is the principal army opposing
the Austrians.
Fierce Fighting at Koenissberg.
London, Aug. 31.-The Posts St.
Petersburg correspondent says; THE
Russian forces are still advancing and
for the past three days there has been
fierce fighting around Koenigsberg.
The Russian pursuit was pressed SO
hotly that some of its cavalry actually
entered along with fugitiyes into the
outlying defenses of Koenigsberg. This
of course is very far removed from
the capture o. the fortress. On the
Austrian front obstinate fighting con-
tinues. The Russians have taken
5000 prisoners east of Lemberg and
1000 near Tomacheff. while east of
that center the Fifteenth Hungarian
division is surrounded and whole regi-
ments are surrendering. The main OBJ
jective of the Austrians appears to be
Lublin, where desperate fighting is in
progress"

ADVICE GIVEN TO LARGE AUDI
ENCE OF TOWNSHIP
REPRESENTATIVE

Sen. Ames of the Iowa state highway
commission, spoke to an audience OF
over a hundred men, composed OF
township clerks and trustees and other
good road boosters, this afternoon at
the Commercial association rooms.
The senator urged that good roads can
be made possible only by organized et-
fort and definite plans. He commend
ed this community on having secured
road engineer for the purpose OF ar
irving at definite plans for action. Sen.
Ames stated that very few miles OF
road in each county would be sufficient
to complete a chain Of highways con-
Meeting every county seat in the state.
He also spoke in favor of more per-
manent work, instead Of the large
amount of temporary repairs that are
now being done He made the state
ment that half of the road taxes of the
state were being spent for repairs,
and that this expense could be elimln-
ated by making repairs of more per-
manent and lasting nature.
