Bristol Wins Distinction.
Bristol is the only city in the United
States. SO far as known. which enjoys
the distinction of being in two separate
regional bank districts. The town is on
the border line of Virginia and Tennes-

bank accounts in both sides of the town.
Thus the bank accounts on this side OF
the line VIII have to be handled from the
city of Richmond. Tennessee Is in the
Atianta district and the banks in that
state will have to do business with At

Bristol will have two opportunities when
they want money.

Though nearly two months remain in
which those wishing to qualify as can

senator and for places on the state ticket
may prepare and file their petitions under
the state primary election law. it seems
probable that there will be no more en-

of those already in the running the en-
tries will face the starter as they stand.

Expect Foraker to Win.

The general opinion is that Senator
Foraker will land the nomination under
these conditions. There is still consid-
cradle republican element in the state
that is hostile to him, but it will be
pretty evenly divided between his two
opponents. Senator Foraker's support
crs, though probably in the minority in
the party, are enthusiastic and may be
depended upon to stand by him through
thick and thin, and to work hard for
him from now until the close of the polls
in the primary election.
Some of the republican newspapers
spoke out against him when his candi-
dacy was first discussed. but it is no.
ticed that there is little of this now. The

REVIEW OF THE WAR
Probable Situation, as Viewed by
the Associate Editor Of the
Army and Navy Journal.

New York.-The German line holds
fast to its intrenchments, following
the Aisne river from ten miles west
of Scissors to the mouth of the Suippe
and then curving southwark to Mont
faucon, northwest of Verdun. All
along the lines the allies are making
assaults, but it cannot be made out
from the reports whether they are
pushed home with the idea of break
ing down the German resistance or
whether they are made merely to hold
the Germans in position while the
turning movement to the west Is
taking form.
Now is the time when the arrival Of
new British army might turn the
tide OF battle for the allies. The 1885,.
900 of Great Britain's first effort are
in the battle line, apparently in two
separate bodies, one southeast of Sois-
sons and one near the Disc river.
With 100000 regulars, $4,000 terri.
| torials and 100000 volunteers to draw
on, Great Britain must by now be
sending to the front forces that will
soon double the present strength given
in the reports.
Germans Gaining Time.
The German right now has occupied
the line of the Aisne for six days,
most valuable days for recovering its
fighting strength. Whatever the plan
by which the allies moves are guided,
; sh1ulA brine oarlu rocnltc
The Belgians now control all Of
their country north of the Scheldt
river. Their activity in raids against
the German attachments is producing
important results in forcing the Ger
mans to maintain large garrison to
protect the routes through the Mouse
valley on which they are now abso-
lutely dependent for the supply Of
their army. BY these tactics the Bel
gians are able to hold back from the
battle line forces of Germans much
greater in number than their own
army.
Russians Retreat Far.
The reports about the operations in
East Prussia have been suppressed to
such an extent that 1t is not possible
to outline events definitely. The Ber-
lin dispatches claim that their ad-
vance has reached Grodno; the Petro-
grad dispatches state that the Rus
SLAMS have fallen back to the line Of
their border forts. For once the dis
patches agree, but they indicate .
retreat of 140 miles by the Russians.
The success Of the Russians on the
San river bids fair to force the Aus
TRANS to fall back from this position.
This does not mean that the way lies
open for the Russians to advance
against Silesia In Germany.

the wounded were anxious to return
to the fight as soon as possible.
I'VE saw no evidence Of men wound

We found the medical services of both
the Germans and allies excellent, but
we regret that the German wounded
often were discharged from the hospi-
tails too early. In some cases their
wounds had not sufficiently healed and
after their discharge the wounds would
open again and complications set in.

many German soldiers were running
across fields, jumping over fences,
crawling through hedges. and making
their way through woods without any
