GERMAN DRIVE is
MAKING HEADWAY
If Russians Hold Valuable Transverse
Railroad They Must Soon Check
Enemy Definitely.

LONDON, August lin land fighting
a crisis has not been reached in the pres
ent stage of the eastern campaign. Grand
Duke Nicholas viii not be able to assure
the safety of his armies until the menace
presented by the operations of Field Mar
shall Won IIindenberg in Courland is re-
moved.
In the Bausk district of Courland the
German army has been driven back to-
ward the Aa river, while Kovno is still
stemming the German tide
The chief struggle, however, eenters in
the region north of the Niemen, notwith-
standing the recent success of the Rus
sian resistance.
Between the Narew and the Bug the
German drive evidently is making some
headway, although Petrograd claims that
the attacks Of the invaders in this region
have been repulsed after heavy fighting.
Along the middle Bug the Austrians and
Germans have forced several crossings If
the Russians plan to hold the valuable
transverse railroad running through Wilma,
Grodno, Bailystok and other important
cities they must check the Austrians and
Germans definitely.

REQUIRED ON PARCELS
Omission Causes Much Annoyance and
Requires Opening Of Parcel

It has come to the attention of the
post office department that many post
masters accept for mailing parcels of
fourth-class matter which do not bear
the name and address of the sender,
as required by the provisions of para
graph +, section 40, Postal Laws and
Regulations, reading as follows:
"A parcel of fourth-class matter
shall not be accepted for mailing unless
it bears the name and address of the
sender, which should be preceded by the
word From. When a parcel OF fourth
class matter which does not bear the
name and address OF the sender is de-
posted for mailing, and the sender is
known or can be asccrtained from the
contents of the parcel, it shall be re-
turned to him with the information
that his name and address should be
placed on it. If the sender is not
known, or cannot be ascertained, the
parcel should be marked Sender nm

Other Cities

DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 17.-With the
cities and towns of southeast Texas
isolated from the rest of the world and
one of the worst tropical hurricanes
of decade wearing itself out over the
coastal prairics the face of Galveston
today was not known although it was
believed the storm center had passed
inland west of the city.
This morning San Antonio and Aus
Tin have been added to the isolated cit
les in Texas, indicating that the trop-
ical storm was working inland.
Galveston, Houston and Beaumont
were still cut off from all wire com
municatiou.
Telegraph and telephone companies
stated their principal difficulty in re
storing communication to Galveston
and Beaumont was due to the damage
to their lines in the vicinity OF Ious-

BY LIGHTNING
A. A. Hubbard House and
Barn in West Chesterfield
Are Leveled
LOSS ESTIMATED
AT ABOUT SIS, 900
Bolt Went Through Barn, Shed and
House-Most of Contents Saved Ex-
cept Crops-All Stock Saved Except
Two Hogs and Hens.

The farm buildings on the road from
West Chesterfield to Chesterfield Center
owned by Albert \. Hubbard were struck
by lightning yesterday afternoon and were
totally destroyed by the resultant fire.
Most of the contents of the house and all
of the livestock that was in the barn
were saved with the exception Of two
hogs and some hens The total loss IS
about 81 600 with insurance of $4,000.
Mr. Hubbard, at the time the lightning
struck, was standing in the rear door of
the house and Mrs Hubbard and their
son were approaching it through the gar
den. 1t was not raining and Immediately
above the farm there were no clouds.
suddenly Mr. Hubbard was covered by
falling plaster from the ceiling He real
lied what had happened and opened a door
into one of the other rooms to see the
plastering ripped off, the ceiling and
twisted and broken beams marking a wide
path to a big hole in the end of the
house
The bolt apparently had struck the
cupola on the barn and torn through that
building, through the long shed that con-
nected the house and barn, and finally
found its way out of the house at the
other end of the building from that in
which it entered.
Grabbing up a pail of water Mr.. Hub
bard ran to the barn. The fire then ap-
peared to be mostly in the silo, but it
was too much of a fire to be combatted
successfully with the force then at com
mand.
Mr. Hubbard called to his son to get the
horses out while he undertook the task
Of getting ont very valuable Guernsey
| bull. This he succeeded in accomplishing,
but by that time it was impossible to
enter the barn to let out the hogs and
hens stabbed under it
Neighbors soon began to arrive by auto
mobiles, teams and on foot and they de-
voted their attention to removing every
thing possible from the house. They were
able to get out most of the household
goods before the flames drove them away
Among those who were early on the
scene We're Lester Barber and Irah Spauld
ing of this town, electricians employed by
Horton d. Walker, who were engaged il
wiring the house owned by Ernest s
| Hall of Brattleboro, next north of the
Hubbard property.
They saw the lightning strike. and al
most Immediately the smoke issued from
the barn Shouting to others, they raT
to the Hubbard farm and were instrumen
tai in saving much of the property. They
had expected to begin word today tc
