Summary of E0entS.)

The allies claim substantial
gains against the army of Gen.
Won kluck in northwestern
France, and the Germans admit
slight advances by the French
British forces, but assert the
movement is not decisive. This
is the latest development, accord
ing to the most reliable sources,
of the general engagement known
as the battle OF the Alsne River,
proceeding on line from Rheims
westward to Complegne, on the
Disc river, and northward from
that point to the Belgian border.
Official reports from Berlin de
clare that the forts and defensive
positions in the nelghborhood of
Nerdun, France, near the Alsa
elan border, have been silenced by
German heavy artillery fire after
several days of very serious fight
ing. The French and British war
offices are silent on war develop

Hand to Hand Fighting.
Both Berlin and Paris and London
expect decisive results from the bat
tie of the aisne. which has been rag
ing since September II. within the
next few days. The opposing armies
were worn out after the first ten days
OF fighting and the battle became
practically an artillery duel until
about the fifteenth day OF the en-
gagement when heavy reinforce
ments were received by both Ger
mans and allies. Infantry and
cavalry action became much sharper
almost at once, and numerous hand

When the world learns the price that

Thus spoke the Rev Father James
Malloy, OF San Francisco, when he ar
rived here on the Mauretania from
England. The American priest had
just come from France where he was
a chaplain with the British army OF
Sir John French on the firing line for
TWO weeks ana IiNe udlS.
1t was a terrible experience for
me-" said the priest, in describing
what he saw in some of the engage
ments We were fighting continuous
ly night and day. There seemed an
absolutely uncountable host of the
Germans. As they swept down on the
British positions they were like NOV
ing forest-all gray-green and hardly
discernible until we'll within rife
range.
Imagine If YOU can, the entire hori-
zon filled with a swiftly moving mass
that at distance bore no resemblance
to human beings. AS the mass moved
forward the shells from the great Ger
man field artillery rained over our
heads, exploding with a concussion
that broke great holes in the air and
made it almost impossible for one to
breathe
Then with their bands playing
them into action and singing Die
Watch Am Rhine and other stirring
martial airs the Germans would
charge at top speed.

the stories of German atrocities. They
took better care of our own wounded
than they did OF their own. We found
the British wounded on cots, on great
piles of soft goods, and their wounds
carefully bandaged. In all these same
places many OF the German wounded
were forced to lie on piles OF straw
arranged for them in the stables and
outbuildings. No wounded we're mu-
tilated as has been charged. The
peasants admitted the German com
manders, while terribly strict. were
kindly. OF course, Where there was
suspicion the peasants were aiding the
army there was immediate death
without trial But you must remem-
Der this was war, not peace, and many
things mvst be expected in war.
There has been much night fight
ing, and strange as it may seem the
aeroplanes have been of almost as
much use at night as they have in the
day time. They are the eyes of the
army. One night l saw thirtyfive
aeroplanes in the air at the same
time. They carried colored lights and
when they located a masked battery
they dropped the lights and our guns

Russian Armies Sweep GaIicia.

RUSSIAN Armies SWcep odhC'd.
Petrograd. Russian armies con-
tinue to sweep through Galicia, and,
according to a report from Rome, that
province of the Austrian Empire is
clear of Austrian troops. What is
meant is that the field armies of Aus
tria have either gone into the fort
resses of Przemysl or Cracow. or re-
treated to the south and west. The
Russians have come across the coun-
try in great parallel lines and, mask
ing Przemysl, have swept the country
clear as far as line drawn from Dou-
klo in the south to the neiehborhood
of Rzeszow in the north, while other
forces have pushed their way through
the passes of the Carpathian noun
tains, into Hungary.
They have only to go little further
to get possession of the railway that
runs through the mountains to Lublau,
and thence through the heart of the
country to Budapest. If they accom-
plish this they will be able to join
hands with the army which is ap
preaching Cracow.
According to Petrograd correspond
dents, the invaders intend to treat
Cracow as they did Przemsyl, and con-
tinue their devastating march into ST.
lesia. In the meantime they have for
a week been fighting the Germans all
along the river Nieman, between kov-
no and Grodno, and thus far have held
them in check, while reinforcements
have been reaching them.
The battle is described as being
furious one, but no details have been
allowed to be made public. The Ger
man object in sending strong fcrce
in this direction is to attempt to cut
the railway line from Warsaw through
wilma and Grodno to Petrograd.
The fighting along the east Prus-
sian frontier, in which the Russians
have been extending their front $50
versts (96 miles) has resulted in the
repulse Of all the Germans attempts
to force the river Niemen.

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED
BY CHANCELLoRY MCKINNEY

At Dresden ON July %, before
Chancellor Mckinney, a motion
was made and heard TO dissolve
the preliminary injunction in the
case of the State versus j. G.
Burdick, which motion was allow
ed and the injunction dismissed.
The State Of Tennessee recent
ly filed suit in Chancery Court,
at Union City, against j. G. Bur-
dick, lessee Of the West Tennes-
see Land Company, 10 that part
of the lake known as the Dough
erty grants, covering ten square
miles of the main fishing waters
on the lake. This property, in
condemnation suits instituted by
the State under the right of
eminent domain, was condemned
and appropriated by the State for
public fishing and hunting pre-
serve. In these proceedings j.
C. Burdick. who had a nine year
lease on the property dating
from October /, 1909, was not
made a party, hence the pend
ing suit was filed by the State
to appropriate the remainder Of
said contract through the injunc-
ton process, a preliminary in
junction having been granted by
Judge Meeks, Of Nashville, en-
joining j. G. Burdick from exer-
cising any rights as such lessee
over said property, etc, the
State insisting that the lease con-
tract had not been properly ac-
lnowledged and registered, and
contract had terminated the con
tract.
| This leaves the controversy to
be finally determined by the
courts on its merits, probably at
the October term, next, but re-
Istores the force of injunctions
heretofore had against trespass-
ers on property. Union City Com
lmercial
