British Advance at Dardanelles Halted After

Relatively Quiet on British Front in West, But

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Russians
are now south of the Bug River and
the Germans are now before Brest-
Litovsk, the great Russian military
station and railroad center of much
Importance. Novo Georgeievsk, which
has been invested for the last ten days
is in imminent danger, as the Ger
mans are making constant progress.
Reports from both sides indicate
that a desperate battle may be under
way along the line parallel to the
Bialystok and Brest-Litovsk railroad.
French Active on West Front.
On the British section Of the west
front there has been no serious in
fantry fighting since the advance at
Hooge. The French, however, are
more active. Paris announces a vio-
lent engagement in the Artois region,
beyond the Meuse river and also in
the Vosges region. Attacks with
grenades by the army of the German
crown prince in the Argonne are re-
ported to have been repulsed.

Banquet With Governor Ham
m0nd Present Will Close a
Novel Contest.

At the regular meeting of the Vir-
ginia Commercial club tomorrow
night, postponed from tonight on ac-
count of the appearance of Gentry
Bros. circus in the city, the Virginia
Commercial club will get under way a
membership campaign designed to in
crease it's membership to 1000 and
will discuss plans for a community
picnic similar to those which have
been held so successfully at North
field, Faribault, Brainerd, Thief River
Falls and other Minnesota cities.
A meeting of the membership cam

of the clubs livest members. Mr.
Barret will be secretary of the cam

station, the American bank building
and the Rosenberg library also held
their thousands.
Property Loss $10,000,000.
It is estimated that the property
loss at Galveston may reach $1O,000,-
600, but in the face of this, citizens
insist that the sea wall, built at a
tremendous cost following the great
storm of 1000 did its duty. It stands
intact. Great holes have been torn in
the pavement Of the boulevard, just
inside the sea wall for virtually the en-
tire distance from Seventh to Nine
teenth street. In places the wall it.
self has been damaged, but the dam
age can be repaired.
Flood Waters Did Damage.
Almost as great damage to property
in Galveston was done by water which
flowed in from the bay Monday af-
ternoon. From one-half to two-thirds
of the buildings which lined the water
front have been wrecked. Most of the
buildings about the docks are little
better than ruins. This, however, is
attributed to the wind, as the piling
on which these buildings was erected
still stands. Back Of the sea wall in
the vicinity of fremont street, all the
smaller frame buildings have been
wrecked or wrenched from their found
ations. All the bath houses, the
Breakers, the Surf and the Murdock,
together with their piers extending
cut into the gulf have been washed
away.
Big Schooner Wrecked.
A big four-masted schooned, hurled
in from the gulf, lies half way across
the sea wall. Sailors from this vessel
were rescued by soldiers. There
have been three disasterous fires in
Galveston since the storm. The
greatest need of the 10000 or more
people who remained in Galveston
through the storm is food and water.
At noon Wednesday it. was reported
that there was scarcely enough water
to last another day. Much of this
will be required for baking and cook
ing. Nearly all Of the grocers stores
are water soaked. Packages Of wet
crackers are selling at so cents.

Italian Squadron Attacks.

The Italian squadron attacked at
the island of Pelagosia, in the mid
Adriatic, seized by the Austrians early
in the war. Attempts to make a land
ing were defeated. Although it was
hoped that the diplomatic situation
in the Balkan states would show signs
of clearing definitely this week, there
are no further changes in that quarter.
At the Dardanelles.
Additional troops have been landed
by the British at Sulva bay, Gallipoli.
This announcement was made here Of
ficially this afternoon. The war Of
fee admits that after "a hours of
heavy fighting the British advance
was halted.
Loss of Kovno Denied.
Russian reports do not concede the
loss of Kovno, asserting that the Ger
mans captured only the fortifcation 5
on the left bank of the Niemen river,
while the positions on the right bank
of the river are still held by the de-
tenders.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 49,

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 49,
Protected by the sea wall, which with
stood the battering of the waves
hurled against it by the force of the
wind that was raging from 80 to 124
miles an hour, Galveston escaped the
hurricane which broke over that city
Monday night and Tuesday morning,
with minimum loss of life and a rela-
lively small property loss.
Up to noon Wednesday only Ia
bodies had been recovered. It is
doubtful if many more than this were
drowned in the city itself. The
heaviest loss of life was sustained on
shipping and dredges anchored in the
bay. The total, including those lost
in the city, on the lowlands of Gal
weston and from the ships may reach
ESQ or 300.
Exact Number Not Known.
The exact number, however, will
probably never be known. With the
deaths reported in Texas City, Vir-
ginia Point, LaPorte, Houston and
other cities, the grand total will ap-
proximate 400 lives in all. The above
statement was brought here by
Charles S. Hayden, staff correspondent
of the Light, who has just returned
from Houston and Galveston. He was
in the first boat to reach the stricken
city from the mainland.
Warning Prepared People.
Thanks to the ample warning given
by the United States bureau as to the
approach of the storm, thousands of
people who remained in Galveston
left their homes Monday night and
sought refuge in the big buildings in
the heart of the city. The fremont,
Royal, Panama and Galveston hotels
were crowded to capacity while the
upper floors of the Santa Fe railroad
