Ever hear 125 hungry WOodmen of

Mississippi?
If you were within half a nile Of
the KlOndyke Hotel last night and
didn't hear any unusually loud, though
familiar sounds, there must have been
something wrong with your hearing.
Because the melons were on the tri-
angular park below the hotel, and the
Woodmen were there by big major
,ity. The juicy melons had as much
at negro camp meeting. Just about.
The water melon cutting came as a
climax of big meeting of Leaf River
Camp, held in the Woodmen's build
ing directly across the street, when
several applicants were given degrees,
and when a number of candidates had
a few words to say to the Woodmen
The order then was given that each
WoOdman was to arm himself with a

march directly across the street.

London, July 2s.-Thouch the
Germans hold the great line from
the Gulf of Riga and are sweeping
southwestward around Warsaw,
and are stretching to the GaIacan
frontier near SokaI, it is estimat-
ed they have lost 100000 men, and
the Russian line is still unbroken.
On the Narew river, the Rus.
SLAMS are holding back Won Hin
denberg's army. To the South the
Austro-Germans are struggling to
seize the LubIin-CheIm railway.
They have been for days on the
threshold of success without be-
ing able actually to achieve it.
Fighting on this front has been
renewed with great intensity.
West of Warsaw, caparative
quiet prevails. The Germans evi-
IDENTITY are trying to cut the Rus
sian communications between War
saw and Petrograd, to prevent a
successful retreat if Warsaw falls.
The Russians say the Germans
have brought up enormous re-
serves, but the forces of the Gar
have taken the offensive success
fully at several points. Won Mac
kensen apparently has made an
advance toward the LubIin-CheIm
railroad.
Severe fighting continues on the
ltaIian-Austrian frontiers without
an indication of. a definite out
come. The italians claim success
full advances, and the repuIse of
the Austrians.
