Takes 1000 Prisoners ard
Pushes the Enemy Back.

London, Aug. 16.-General Won Bue-
low, commanding that portion o. the
army o: Field Marshal Won linden
burg operating to the west of the river
Dvinsk, again has taken the offensive
and, according to the official report
published by Berlin, has beaten the
Russians in a battle in the vicinity of
Kubisko and pushed them back in
nortneasterly direction, taking over
1000 prisoners.
To the south before Kovno the Rus
slams. according to the same source
of information, made an unsuccessful
sortie from Koyno, which the Germans
are now approaching.
In the Polish sector the various Ger
man armies are slowly drawing in
their line and advancing from the
northwest and south on Brest-Litovsk
While they continue to take compare
lively small groups of prisoners, they
make no claim to the capture of artil-
lery or booty, which is considered by
military observers as a sair indication
that Grand Duke Nicholas armies con.
tinue their orderly retreat and that
for some time to come will be able to
prevent the Germans from detaching
any part of their army for large ven
lures elsewhere.

London, Aug. 16.-The Austro-Ger-
iran forces massed along the Servian
frontier began bombardment of Bel
grade, the former Servian capital, just
across the Danube from Hungary. The
Servians replied to this bombardment
by opening heavy fire on the Hun
6arian towns of Swain and Pancsova.
At this the Austrian guns ceased
firing. Slight damage was caused to
private dwellings in all three places.
The Austrian bombardment was APP
rarently intended to terrify the Bel
grade population and to reveal the
position of Servian batteries in that
vicinity by drawing their fire.
The presence of considerable Teu-
tonic forces across the river from Bel
grade, however, indicates in the minds
CT military observers that the Austro-
German operations against Servia are
to consist of two simultaneous CAM
paigns. One, a replica of the original
Austrian campaign against Servia last
fall, will have as its object the occu-
ration of Belgrade, while the other,
the main movement, will be to throw
an army of overwhelming strength
across the northwest corner of Servia
from Orsowa, Hungary. as a center,
TO Bulgaria, and thence to Turkey
There remains not the slightest
doubt that the Teutonic allies have
determined to strike at Servia and to
strike quickly with such force that ali
Servian resistance will be immediate
IL swept aside. The operations will
begin just as soon as the last hope Of
Roumanian neutrality has dwindled.
Apparently the massing of great
army at Orsowa, estimated at 300, 900
| troops, by the Teutons, has had a
| double object The first is to make a
military demonstration before Rouma-
| Lila, thus as a last resort endeayoring
| to scare that country into neutrality,
| all diplomatic efforts having failed,
and the second is to strike a rapid and
decisive blow as soon as the Balkan
states have aligned themselves on one
side or the other.
During the last few days no news
to speak of respecting the Balkan stu
uation has been allowed to pass the
censor in Germany or Austria. This
fact is in itself great when viewed
from the usual Teutonic silence that
Lrecedes a storm. 1t is not considered
likely that the situation at the Darda
nelles will permit of long delay in the
prospective German drive through
Servia, even though political and dip
Iumatic motives should dictate the
wisdom of watcnful waiting. Conse
Guently the English military critics
expect momentary action on the part
of the Teutons. with the certainty thai
as soon as the Germanic allies have be
gun their invasion of Servia the entire
Balkan bubble will break.

To Advertise South AS Pro-

the South as a grain producing section

county fairs in the North and Middle
West during the coming fall.

WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

Austro-German forces continued
their advance the past week in the
center and southwest of the eastern
war zone. The Russians claim they
are continuing to drive the Germans
back from Riga and west of Dyinsk
and still are keeping them away from
the fortress of Kovno. General Won
Mackensen's forces have occupied
Siedlce, thus cutting the Warsaw Mos
COW railroad. The rush of the leu
tons is hurrying the Russians to their
second line of defense centering upon
the fortress of Brest-Litovsk Austro-
German concentration of effort seems
to be in the direction of this strong
hold, from which their forces are at
POINTS now barely forty miles distant.
Opinion in allied capitals seems divid-
cd as to whether Grand Duke Nicholas
will be able to hold this new line.
In the west the chief activity was in
the Argonne, where the French re-
ported the repulse of new German at
tacks. Berlin claimed some ground
was gained.
Reports from the Dardanelles carry
the story of the operations little EUR
Their, if any, than that told in recent
British official statements, which re-
ported new landing of troops and ad-
vances inland. Turkish reports deny
any further gains by the entente allies.
On the Austro-Italian front the figI t.
ing of late seems to nave been con-
fined chiefly to artillery actions. with
little change o. ground through infan-
? try attacks.
Affairs in the Balkans are approach
ing a crisis. While diplomatic nego-
t7ations are proceeding in an effort to
induce states still neutral to cast Iheir
lot with one side or the other, the
Teutons have massed troops on the
Balkan frontier. Their plan, it is sup
POSED, is to force way through to re-
lieve Turkey, which is believed to be
badly in need of shells.
The week witnessed the renewal of
German submarine activity, score of
merchantmen having, been destroyed
in British waters.
Paris reports that the German en-
peror, in answer to the peace letter OF
Pope Benedict XIV, declared his will
:ngness to accept peace negotiations
provided the nations with whom Ger
many is at war made the first over
ture Austria made a similar reply To
the pope's letter, the dispatch adds.
