SERVIANS ARE REPORTED TO HAVE ACHIEVED GREAT
VICTORY OVER AUSTRIANS 10000 OF LATTER ARE SLAIN
{ ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH]

Paris, Aug. l9.-The French ad-
vance into AIsace.Lorraine continues.
A brief official statement issued today
confirmed the report that the Germans
are falling back upon Strassburg and the
French armies are operating north from
the Swiss frontier.
FIRST REAL BATTLE BEGUN
London, Aug. l9.-The curt an
nouncement in telegram from Brussels,
dated last night, of fierce fighting between
Belgian and German troops along the
extended front, is generally accepted
here as indicating the real beginning of
the first great battle of the war. The
German attack, il is reported, was made
on the direct ORDERS of Emperor William
himself to his generals in the field. The
exact extent of the line of fighting is not
yet revealed, but presumably it stretches
in north and south line, but beyond
this, its definite location is virtually
guesswork.
OPERATIONS ON IMMENSE SCALE
Paris. Aug. 19.---A careful study of
the military situation on the northern
frontier leads French military observers
to the conclusion that the events trans
piring in Belgium today are the begin
ming of operations in an immense scale.

is making fresh and mightier effort to
break into France through compare

ment opinion in Paris, however, is con-
fident that the allies will be able to
meet this shock and successfully reply

the tax for all state funds includ-
ing school, will yield about $1,000

half q million more and the in

That accounts for sI2,500DO0 of

trust funds, plus a few items Of
federal aid, make the total Of the

somewhere around fifteen millions.
Now about cutting down expenses.
There is one mill for roads-between

Uric Acid Is Slow Poison
Unseen in its approach, hard to

Unseen in its approach, hard to
detect in its early stages, anu
cruelty painful in its later forms,
uric acid poisoning Is a disease
too often fatal.
Bright's disease Is one of the
final stages Of uric acid poisoning.
It kills in our country every year
more men and women than any
other ailment except two-con-
sumption and pneumonia. Bright's
disease and uric acid poisoning
usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard
to cure, If discovered early, so It
is we'll to know the early signs
OF kidney disease and uric poison

When uric acid Is formed too

OBJECTS TO
NAME ALLEY

:. A rose by any other name may
smell as sweet, but an alley By
some other name would be much
more desirable, according to Mrs.
John Philip Amy.
Mrs. Amy says she has some
houses on the alley between North
18th and Yakima but that nobody
wants a house where they have to
tell their friends they live at such
and such a number in the alley.
Hence her houses are unrented.
But she says in a letter to the
city council IL the honorable
board will just give that alley q
new name and call it by the high
sounding title of Yakima place"
the way they do in Los Angeles,
then she will soon rent her houses
and be opulent and happy.
