Another distinguished guest has
signified his acceptance of the invl.
tation to attend the Board of Trade
banquet on the evening of Feb. 26. In
letter to Secretary Ashley Sowell,
Frank Avent, of the state railroad
commission, stated that he would be
delighted to come and speak on any
appropriate toast that the program
committee might see fit to assign
him.
President Peyton, of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & ST. Louis Railroad,
has practically agreed that he will
come. The only. thing that prevent
ed his immediate acceptance was that
he had already promised to speak on
the same date at another banquet.
However, he stated that he thought
that this could be obviated by having
the date changed. With the pres
ence of two such distinguished
guests, the oratorical part of the pro-
gram would be well taken care of and
an attraction offered that would draw
many to attend who would not come
otherwise.
The program committee will meet
in day or so and prepare an elabor-
ate list of toasts and speakers. Hen.
ry O. Fulton is the chairman Of this
committee and his acceptance of the
post is assurance that there will be
an abundance of post-prandial orato-

for enough money 20 provide second

The United states already has more

In this connection the army also Will

RUSSIA GAINS
GREATEST VICTORY

but it is understood that the Austrians
we're in possession of strong fortified
positions which were still giving the
Russians considerable trouble, in spite
Of their constantly increasing numbers.
At the commander in chiefs head

Russians Closely Following
Retiring Germans in Prussia

Pctrograd, Nov. 6-On the East
Prussian front the Germans continue
to retire along the whole line, the
Russians following them up closely.
The only point still held By the Ger
mans is in the neighborhood Of the
frontier station Of Wirballen. whore q
strongly intrenched position is still un-
taken, but il will naturally have to be
abandoned now that il has been lett
isolated by the general retirement.
Fighting on this front has been ex-
tremely severe since the Austrian fail
urc before Warsaw. 1t is asserted that
the dead before the Russian lines,
where they were not in heaps, were
IN regular swathes, where they had been
moved down by Maxim fire during re-
peated and heroic attempts TO force the
Russian defences Among the dead is
painfully noticeable percentage Of
boys OF sixteen and seventeen years.
The general opinion in the Russian
army is that the Germans will try TO
make stand AT their fortified positions
behind the River Iarma. a few miles
inside the frontier of Poland, but that
the Russians will drive them out, and
that their real stand will be made along
the line OF the Oder and the fortresses
