The Russian Loss.

In the Tanneberg fight they
placed Russia's losses at 10000
killed and wounded and $4,000
taken prisoners.
Over the sinking of the British
cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and
Cressy all the fatherland re-
joiced.
The Germans made no men
ton of the loss Of any of their
own submarines in this fight, i'm
plying that none was suffered.
The British estimated that
they lost 1924 lives when the
three cruisers were sunk, which
would make the survivors num-
ber approximately 476.
The British were as much de-
pressed by the exploit as the
Germans were elated.
They expressed much dis
satisfaction at their overwhelm-
ingly powerful navy's failure to
have wrought more destruction,
and clamored for action.
The British fleet was expected
to assume the aggressive at
once.
With Jaroslav already in their
hands, the Russians in Galicis
were bombarding Przemysl and
advancing on Cracow.
Having, as they claimed, taken
Seraievo, the Servians and Mon
tenegrins declared they were
capturing more towns in Bosnia.
The Servians also told of an over
whelming victory over the Austrians
along the line from Liubivia to Los
nitza.

successes the Austrian war office de-

SERVIAN FORCES
ADVANCE STEADILY

Nish, Sept. '23.- The capture by
Servians and Montenegrins OF the town
of FOtcha, in the Austrian province of
Bosnia, was announced today by the
war office here.

these earlier accounts were erroneous or
whether the Austrians retook the town
and have now lost it again.
1t was said, at any rate, that it was
envelopcd when the Servian and Mon
tenegrin advance began on Serajevo,
now also in their hands.
The war office here announced also

many of them were captured.

Dispatches

London, Sept. 23.-After the
tiercest artillery fight since the
war began, the British forces
northeast of Paris have succeed
ed in turning the German line
Just south of Saint Quentin and
Peronne. it was stated today on
unofficial but reliable authority
here.
AS a climax to their lombard
ment, the British troops made a
desperate bayOnet charge, cap
turing nine miles of German
trenches literally filled with
dead.
While the artillery battle
ragged, aeroplanes, Tying low,
gave the British gunners the
German range so accurately that
the shells burst directly over the
trenches, which were jammed
with waiting Germans.
This continued for hours.
Twice the Germans tried to
charge but the deadly artillery
fire drove them back both times.
Finally ~" British made their
own rush, sweeping all before
them.
In the trenches they found the
dead and wounded so informing
led that it was difficult to rescue
the latter.
The movement was complete
success, it was stated, and the
capture of the position consti
tuted the first really important
gain from the Germans. 1t gave
the British a strong strategic
foothold on the hills command.

and with this advantage it was
believed the allies would be able
to drive the Germans entirely
from the neighborhood of Saint
Quentin, whence, indeed, it wa;

had withdrawn.

Losses of Allies in Three Days
Greater Than During
Whole War
Loss ON CRUISERS
in NORTH SEA 1924
Say Russian Loss, Killed and
Wounded, 100000; Pnis-
Oners $4,000

In the battle of the Aisne the
allies had partly turned the Ger
man right wing today.
This assertion was made on
French and British authority;
the Germans denied it.
The Berlin war office claimed
"a slow, steady German advance
in the west"
According to Paris, Bordeaux
and London accounts, the allies
had gained ten miles on the
right bank of the River Disc.
1t was asserted that the
British had taken nine miles of
German trenches, filled with
dead.
In three days, however, the al
lies losses had admittedly been
as heavy as during all the rest of
the war.
In the face of a German de-
nial, it was also asserted that
the French had repulsed the teu-
tonic attack from northeast of
Verdun.
The allies predicted that the
Germans would soon move back
to a new line just inside the
French frontier.
The Bordeaux war office de-
clared the outlook the best for
the allied forces since the war
began.
While disputing all these
claims, the Germans told of inn
portant victories in the east.
They said the Russians had
practically cleared from East
Prussia and driven as far as
their own defenses at Kovno.
They declared they were also
operating almost unopposed in
Russian Poland.

Won KIuk Forced Back.

Paris, Sept. 23.- The allies
turning movement against the
German right northeast of Paris
still continued today, it was
stated officially.
The assertion was made un-
qualifedly that the wing had
actually been turned, and the
General Won Kluk was being
forced back.
Strenuous efforts were also be-
ing made by the allies to split
the kaiser's southermost forces
off from his main army and
isolate them.
The German center held, how
ever. and its left was active, hav-
ing been strongly reinforced.
1t was not only said that cas-
ualties were enormous but the
admission was made that the al.
lies, having been on the often
sive, had suffered more in the
past three days than the Ger,
mans.
The weather had improved
which was enabling the Franco.
British armies to operate more
rapidly and to bring heavier
artillery into action.

necessarily vacated. although It Is pos
sible that an entire upheaval may be
made and a thorough going scheme
Of changes be Instituted. This. how
ever. Is only very remote possibility
in the estimation Of most members OF
the conference.
Temperance Leading Topic.
Temperance will be a foremost
topic of discussion. as the Methodist
ministers were among the leading
workers, and Methodist laymen among
the largest contributors to the cause
OF prohibition in the recent campaign.
This question has always had the
backing OF tho conference. and will
doubtless prove even more so at the
approaching meeting.
An item of interest TO the Confer
ence at large Is the announcement
that Rev. G. II. Lambeth, one Of its
younger members, but a very popular
pastor. will return to the active min
istry after the absence OF several
years due to poor health. During
the interval DR.. Lambeth mas been
engaged In business and has also acted
as associate editor of the Richmond
Christian advocate. the official organ
OF the conference.
An UneventfuI Session.
Writing OF the approaching confer
ence in the last issue of that paper
DR.. Lambeth said:
This should be a rather uneventfui
session. as no questions OF unusual in
terest are scheduled for discussion:
and 1t should be marked by calm and
peace, as all our disturbing problems
coc n hax haNn " nd no irfa -
torily settled. We anticipate with
pleasure the week OF fellowship with
tho brethren during which We shall
not face the temptation to heated dis
cussion OF questions upon which we
differ. So far as at present appears
there will be need for nothing but the
transaction Of the routine business ana
the relieving of the preachers appoint
ments for another year.
This will demand careful considera-
ton by reason OF the several with
the past year. DR.. w. ]. Young. one
OF our most popular pastors. has ac-
cepted . professorship In the new

A. Smart; while DR.. r. H. Bennett,
relinQuishes a most successful incum-
bency OF the Conference Missionary
Secretaryship to assume direction OF
the Department OF Ministerial Supply
and Training Of the Southern Metho-
dist Church. This will necessitate ad-
justments to NIL several Of our most
important appointments. So far. only
one transfer mas been announced. DR..
Richard Wilkinson. who comes recent

ously filled with great success leading
appointments In several conferences.
Despite war. drought. and other un-
toward circumstances, the reports
from over the State have indicated
that good financial reports will be
made from most Of the churches. and
that the great majority OF them will
meet their obligations with ease.

INTEREST CENTERS
IN MRS. HALL CASE

Much interest Is conferred In the pos
sibie action of the Supreme Court OF
Virginia in the case OF Mrs. Victor
Hall, who was convicted In Louisa
County for the killing OF her husband,
and given a ten-year term in the State
Penitentiary.
The appeal was taken upon a large
number Of exceptions made by counsel
for Mrs. Hall. They maintain In sub
stance that Mrs Hall was either guilty
OF murder, or not guilty. and that ac-
cording to the evidence. she was not
guilty. The remarkable verdict Of ten
years for murder will be discussed by
the Judges, and It Is upon this point,
probably, that an opinion may be
based.
The progress OF the case - being
watched by the LAWYERS OF Virginia and
other sections with 4 great deal OF In
terest The Supreme Court is expected
to hand down an opinion this week.

Amusement Notes
CRYSTAL THEATER

"The WOLF" Eugene Walters in
comparable play Of the Canadian
wilds, will appear at the Crystal
Theater, Saturday, April IS.
Miss Jessica Ray, who enacts the
only feminine role in this great play,
is highly spoken Of as deserving Of
much praise. One eminent critic
speaks Of her as: "Statesque in
figure, beautiful in face and form,
with a voice that fingers in the men,
ory." Another calls her a second
Maud Adams, and another "The Ca
madam Juliet"
In the role of "Hilda MacTavish."
Miss lay gives a really beautiful
performance of the girl Of the wonds
whose only knowledge Of the outside
world is CLEANED from cold, erratic
father, and the fur traders and In
dams Of the forest. How her heart
was finally awakened, and she came
to know and have "the great desire"
is told as only that wizard Of the
drama, Eugene Walter, can tell it.
Miss Ray is supported by that en-
inent .'aung actor, Fred r. Cantway,
and n cast Of selected players.
