 Forwards; Leila Lee, Kathleen An derson.
 Guards: Mary Hanley, Leora Daze.
 Centers: Alta Van Deren, Vernice Misenheimer.
 Substitute: Alleen Robertson.
 One substitute remains to be chos- en, and when that is done one of the strongest teams we have ever had will leave for the capital city.

In Death Of Howard Burns
at ltta Bena.

Clarksdale. Entailing a loss esti-
mated here at 100000, the planning
mill of the Duss-Hetzler Company was
reduced to embers late on the night of
Aug. 27, and several adjoining resi-
dences were slightly damaged, al
though efficient work of the fire de-
partment prevented a more serious
conflagration.
Starting from an unknown cause in
the dry kiln room. the infiammable
nature Of the lumber in the mill en-
apied the fire to gain considerable
headway before the department ar
rived, and heroic efforts were neces-
sary to keep the blaze confined to
restricted area around the mill and
yards. Several box cars on the Yazoo
G Mississippi Valley Railroad tracks
leading to the mill were consumed by
the flames.

to accompany her announcement that.

Of American lives in the destruction
of the vessel, will be forthcoming as

LEAKEsvILLE. MISS. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER B, 1918
TO RAISE ANOTHER ARMY
2,0oo,oo0 More Soldiers viii ee
Mustered for 1916 Campaign.

London - Gen. Poliyanoff, Russian
minister of war, has announced that
Russia is raising another 100000
men and that the fate of the campaign
will not be decided before some time
next year.
The Germans, in full possession Of
tho entire Brest-Litovsk line, have re-
sumed the offensive in the Baltic
provinces and are pressing the Rus
SLAMS southeast of Mitau and east OF
Kovno, in an effort to reach the main
line of railway which passes through
wilma and Dvinsk to Petrograd.
1t is expected that with the fall of
Brest-Litovsk, which has been fol-
lowed by that of Olita south of
Kovno, Won Hindenburg REINFORCED,
will make another attempt to cut off
the Russian retreat. 1t Is believed
here, however. that 1t is too late to
accomplish this.
The Russians apparently had evacu-
ated both Brest-Litovsk and Olita be-
fore the Germans arrived, as the Ger
mans claim no captures of guns and
booty.
The Austrians assert that Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand founl the town of
Kamieniez-Litovsk in flames when he
arrived. There are indications. there
fore, that the Russians still are carry
ing to the rear everything movable
that might be useful to the invaders
and burning what they are unable to
take.
The Russian armies still are intact,
with virtually all their guns and pros
poets of a more plentiful supply OF
ammunition. For this reason military
writers here believe Grand Duke
Nicholas can make a stand, as the
Austro-German losses must have been
very heavy, especially during the
three weeks between the fall of War
saw and the occupation of Brest
Litovsk.

PURSUIT NOT sLACkENED
Berlin Reports Pre9aSss Along the
Eastern Battle Line.--Russians
Stubborn Resistance.

London.-The German pursuit of
the retiring Russians show no signs
of slackening, and Berlin reports prog
ress all along the eastern battle line
except in Northern Courland where
the Russians are offering stubborn
and effective resistance.
From southeast of Kovno, where
the Germans claim to have broken the
Russian resistance, and must, there
fore, be approaching Wilma; along the
Niemen to Grodno and thence south
eastward through the forest of Bielo-
viezh and along the borders of the
Pripet river marshes the Russians are
falling back.
Speculation again is rife as to
whether the Germans intend to push
the Russians further or prepare posi-
tions from which to hold the Musco-
vites. Military observers here believe
this question must be settled before
many days. arguing that any vent
ures proposed for the fall must COM
mence to develop soon.
The artillery has been the chief
mode of warfare in the west. The
allies guns have been most active,
shelling virtually the entire German
line. The allies, too, have been using
their aircraft in large squadrons to
lombard German barracks and posi-.
tions.

The discovery of the manner I'm
which the prehistoric Indians of the
southwest obtained their meat supply
was made recently by Washington
scientists during an Investigation
around the plateau OF the Pajarika
park, near Santa Fe. where a number
of game traps were found
1t is believed that the discovery OF
these traps indicates that the south
western Indian OF prehistoric times
was far more intelligent than his
brother of the North
The traps are holes cut in lava rock
at places where the poisonous gases
make their way through to the sur
face They are ingeniousIy arranged
to suggest cavern in which an ami
NAL may hide.
Animals running from their foes see
one of these traps and dive into it.
Almost instantly they are suffocated
by the gas. This manner of death
does not destroy their value as food
