Points on the Dneister.
(By Associater Press.)

LONDON, June 22.-Official dis
patches from both Berlin and Vienna
state that the Austro-German force is
meeting with signal success in their
camIi ign against Lemberg, and that
this Important post will be in their
hands before many days now.
Petrograd admits that the Russians
have retired from the Grodek lakes,
west of Lemberg, but scoff at the idea
that the city is in danger of falling
into German hands.
Reports from the Russian capital
also state that the Austro- Germans
were driven from two small towns on
the Dneister this morning. The Rus
SLAMS only lost a handful of men while
the Germans loss was terrific.
Four vessels, one a British trans

BALL CAME TO DRAW
CROWD HERE ON FIFTH
AWSON.M0NTEZUMA GAME WILL
BRING 5000 PEOPLE FROM TWO
CITIES

The committee in charge of the big
Dixie Highway celebration on July
Fifth, made wise move when they
contracted with the Dawson and Mon
tezuma ball teams for two games hers
on the Fifth This one event will
bring fully 5000 people from those
two cities alone to see the game and
take part in the other festivities.
The intense rivalry between these
two cities has only been increased
this year. The two teams seem evenly
matched and are undoubtedly the fast
est amateur teams in the state. The
two games on the Fifth will be big
league games and well worth see
ing.
News from both Dawson and Monte
yuma say that every merchant in the
two cities with the exception of one
drug store in each, will close for the
day, and that three-fourths of the
people will lie in Americus.
The Ceft tral of Georgia will run an
excursion from Macon that will pick
up the Montezuma crowd. The ex-
cursion from Eufaula will care for
the Dawson contingent.

DUTCH ISLAND
GRANDSTAND
EUROPEAN WAR
(By Associated Press)
Netherlands.

is there better opportunity than on
this island of observing the beginning
and the end of the German airship and
aeroplane expeditions which have
recently become so frequent to the
English coast. Rottumeroog is the
last and most easterly of the long
string of low lying sandy islands
skirting the north coast of Holland
and then continuing long the German
coast. From its lookout station, in
charge of the Dutch military author
tiles, may be seen day after day fights
of German "Tauben" or doves" as
the flying machines are called, coming
out of or going into the mouth of the
Ems and from Borkum, the first of the
German islands, or even passing on
their way to or from the island for
tress of Heligoland or Wilhelmshaven
Sometimes a Zeppelin, or perhaps a
squadron of these Dreadnoughts of
the air, will skirt the coast high up
in the clouds just outside of Dutch
territorial waters, bent on attacking
British war and merchant ships if
opportunity offers in the North Sea.
There are, however, not many peo-
pie to observe the pasasge of the air
fiotillas, for, outside the detachment
of Dutch troops stationed here for
the period of war for the purpose of
protecting Dutch soil from violation
by any of the belligerents, the only
inhabitants of the islands are the
coast guard and his family. Visitors
and especially foreigners-are not
welcome and, in fact, have been for
hidden to land since the establishment
of martial law in the Dutch costal
region.
At rare intervals during the day the
privileged observer may see torpedo
boat destroyer steaming along in the
offing at great speed 1t may be a
British or a German vessel, but
whichever it is it does not slacken it's
pace, for submarines are always about
After dark the fact that German war
craft, usually small vessels, are
nearby is evident from the twinkling
at frequent intervals of signals from
their mastheads. From Borkum, too,
at night a few lights shine out, while
along the coast of the Dutch province
of Groningen lighthouses keep up
their warning flashes without cessa-
tion.
Rottumeroog, which is reached from
the Dutch mainland by motor boat,
was at one time rather thickly popu-
lated, and in the Middle Ages many Of
the merchants of Groningen built
warehouses on the island. 1t was, too,
for a long period the haunt of pirates,
among them the notorious Frisian
nobleman Douwe van Gins and Bar
thold Entens van Mentheda. 1t served
also as a place of refuge for Clanri-
carde of Scotland when he fed from
the British Isles with King James.
Clamricarde even built a castle here,
which was destroyed in 1907 during a
great food.
Sea birds usually avail themselves
of the island as breeding place anil
many hundreds of thousands Of their
eggs are sent annually to the mainland
for consumption This year, however,
many of the birds have deserted the
place, having been frightened away by
the booming of the cannon at target
practice on the island of Borkum or
by the accustomed sight of the aerial
war machines with the uncanny whirr
of their propellers.
