NEWPORTS REPLY.
Newport Accepts the Evidence and Many Newport Readers
 Will Profit By It.

Which is the more weighty proof-a few words from a Newport resident, whom we know and respect, or volumes from strangers in distanttowns :? There can be only one reply.
 Mrs. M. Porter, 416 Hazel St., Newport, says: 'T had a con- stant ache in the small of my back. Stopping or lifting made me suffer intensely and I felt languid and worn-out most of the time. My kidneys didn't act las they should. On a friends advice, I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills from Walkers Pharmacy. After using them, I was free from the ailments"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Porter had Foster-Milburn Co.,, Props, Buff falo, N. Y.

Until this week Wood covered first only when southpaw pitch CTS were working against the Maps, but now he's on the job all the time. Kirks, possibly, would do better on first this sea- son for the Maps thanWood. That's on account of Kirke's hit ting. But as a prospect, Roy lis much better and there's real ly small chance for him to be crowded off the bag. The kid looks to be a natural hitter, not Ia Wagner and not a Lajoie, but |one who should come steadily, showing improvement in this re- spect along the line of Daubert,
 who was just fair batter when
 he broke into the National.
 Wood is not yet a finished field CT, but he's picking up in this department right along. He's probably the fastest right-hand batter in the American League and all in all looks to be one of the best youngsters who has broken into the league this sea- son."

Carroll Woods Son a ''PhenOFn. Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, June 19.-Roy Wood, a graduate of the Univer- sity of Arkansas, and son of As sociate Justice Carroll D. Wood of theArkansas Supreme Court, is making good in the bigleague. Although he is only 21 years old, he is already looked upon as one of the corners in the base ball world.
 He knocked the first home-run scored this season by the Cleve- lands, in a game with Washing ton last week, A writer in the Cleveland Plaindealer says: "In- eidental to the Nap victory, Roy Wood helped materially with "a home run to the center field flower garden, in the seventh in ming a mighty wallop which Mi Ian had no chance of intercepting as Wood chased Leibold around the paths."
 An enthusiastic writer in the Sporting News pays the follow ing compliment to the Little Rock boy:
 With Johnston on the bench Roy Woodis being used on first.

AustrIans, Last Stand

Lember, Galicia, Nov 6 tvia Petro-
gradl News was received in this
city this evening of the capture by the
Russians of the Galician town Of Jaro-
slau with 5000 prisoners. Military
reports given out in Lemberg set
forth that during the past few days
the Austrians have been attacking
furiously day and night. The artil-
lery fire has been severe andtsleads
to the impression that they have made
their last supreme effort. Neverthe-
less the Russians have repulsed the
enemy vigorously and have broken
his desperate resistance. At the pres
ent time the Austrians are rereating
along the River San. This last en-
gagement was over an extended front
and the noise of cannonading could
be heard for a great distance.
Enormous forces Of Austrians en-
deavored TO prevent the Russians
from crossing the San at a point near
Monastyrze, but the Russians held
their positions in spite Of the resist
ance. 3sais4s ~
1t is reported here that Austrian
artillery has destroyed the chateau
on the property Of Prince Czartorzk
near Lezajask on the San. Presum
ably the valuable historical library in
the chateau was destroyed.

HEAVILY
ALLIES RUSH FRESH MEN TO
THE FRONT TO REPEL
TEUToNs' ASSAULTS

London, Nov 16.-What now has be
come another well defined stage oi
the battle in west Flanders, that is tc
say, a second concerted attempt oi
the German army to blast its way
through to the sea, was flaming and
roaring from Nieuport to the French
frontier today without definite result
so far on either side.
The area near the coast formerly
held by the extreme German right and
from which the invaders were forced
by the allies after many days of hard
Fighting is held only by dead, wound
ed and dying, the inundation having
made the vicinity uninhabitable fol
the living and having prevented an ad-
vance of the British, French and Bel
gian allies.
Many Left to Perish
Hundreds Of Germans left behind in
the retreat doubtless will perish
Thousands more on both sides are yet
to perish in the struggle now progress,
sing, the outcome of which will decide
whether the Germans are going Il
reach the French coast this winter.
German Courage Praised
An official dispatch from the British
army headquarters at the front today
pays tribute TO the way the invaders
are meeting with death, and speculate
as heretofore, whether this is due tC
patriotism or to ironclad discipline
Whatever the explanation, Colonel y
D. Swinton of the British army intelli
gence department, who writes these
eyewitness accounts, says:
"The German troops have won oul
respect for the day in which they have
advanced"
Only vague picture can be formed
up to the present as to what is hap
ening on the Russo-Turkish frontier
or in Egypt. Experience has shown
that both sides win for days claim the
first victory as their respective troops
clash near the borders. Through Ger
man sources emanate the report that
the Turks have bombarded success
fully the Russian fortified seaportl
Of Batum on the Black sea.
Information with regard to what Is
occurring at the Dardanelles was con
fined today to Turkish claims, which
contend that a British warship was
struck by a shell, which caused an ex
plosion aboard No advices have beer
received from the east to contradic
the news of q consistent Russian ad
vance along virtually the whole battle

about I 800 men, well armed with plen-
ty of ammunition, and about 100 cav

men at Cananea and 900 Yaqui In

may be long range firing"
