WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

The fall of Brest-Litovsk, the piv-
otal point in the Russian second line
OF defense, was among the features of
the week in the eastern zone of oper-
etions. Since the reduction of Wal saw
nine big fortresses have fallen into
the hands of the Germanic allies, in
cluding Novogeorgievsk, Kovno and
Olita. The armies of Grand Duke
Nicholas are reported to be conduct
ing an orderly retreat, but are being
closely pursued by the Teutons. Grod-
no and Wilma are menaced and will
likely be surrendered without a strug-
gle. Thousands of Russians troops
have been made prisoners.
Possibility of the Germans reaching
Fetrograd is being discussed. The
conclusion is arrived at that unless
the Germans succeed in obtaining
possession of the Gulf of Riga, they
are not likely to hazard an attempt to
reach Petrograd, especially as autumn
is now approaching, when the country
lying between the Dvina and Narew
presents almost insuperable obstacles.
Fighting continues on the western
fl ont and at the Dardanelles without
the Italian front snowstorms have
hampered operations in the noun
tains. Activity of German submarines
in British waters was responsible for
the sinking of a dozen or more mer-
chant vessels, with some loss of lives.
Through Ambassador Won Bern
storff Berlin has let it be known that
Germany will give complete satisfac-
ton" to the United States if it devel-
cps that the commander of the Ger
man submarine exceeded his instruc-
tions in attacking the White Star
liner Arabic. The Germans contend
that the attack on the Arabic was not
an unfriendly act against the United
States. This intelligence proved graf
flying to American government Off
Gals, who now anticipate an amicable
settlement of the submarine contro-
versy. 1t was learned that the kaiser's
government is not going to make con-
cessions without expecting something
in return. This government stands
committed to cooperate with Ger
many for the maintenance of the tree
dom of the seas. Germany intends
TO hold the United States strictly to
the letter of this pledge, and when she
yields to this government on the SUBJ
marine issue and gives guarantees as
TO the future she will expect that the
United States will make good its word
and proceed against Great Britain
with a view to ending the alleged vio-
lations of international law against
which the United States has COM
planned in connection with the British
blockade of Germany.

ITALIANS DROP BOMBS
Wreck the Austrian Aviation Base
Near Trieste.

Rome, Aug. 30.-Italian aviators
have completely wrecked the Austrian
aviation base at Divassa, east o.
Trieste, according to the official state
ment of the war office. All of the Ital-
ian aeronauts returned safely. The
military authorities have ordered COM
pulsory anti cholera vaccination for all
men and officers in both the army and
navy. A good many Austrian soldiers
who had been moved from the Cali
clan front to the Italian front have re-
Gently been made prisoners, and there
mas been some fear that they might
bring the disease with them.
1t is reported that General Rostag-
no has been seriously wounded while
leading a successful attack against
Austrian positions.
Pope Benedict visited incognito the
wounded soldiers in the Santa Marta
hospital, adjoining the vatican. The
POPE was visibly moved as he walked
among the many beds, stopping to

No Guide Book Authorized
Secretary Chambe of Commerce,
Richmond, Kentucky.

Secretary Cham Der OF Comm erce,
Richmond, Kentucky.
Dear Sir:
For the protection of your merchants
and members of your Organization. The
Dixie Highway Association wishes to
advise you that this Association has not
authorized any individual or concern TO
issue Guide Book of the Dixie High
way. We feel that it would be mani
festly unfair to the touring public, the
advertiser and to this association to
publish such Guide at this time. AL
though practically every county is at
work, or has the money in hand to build
its section of the Dixie Highway,
Guide Book inviting tourists to travel
over the Dixie Highway before next
year, would result in fhe highway re-
ceiving serious set back 1t is impos-
Sible for the present, to give an accurate
routing of the Dixie Highway, owing
to the fact that there are several ques-
tions of routing to be decided by the
commissioners appointed by the Cover
nors of the various states. When the
Directors feel that the time has arrived,
when such a Guide Book, which will
contain only official and accurate
information regarding the Highway and
the territory through which it traverses
can be issued so that it will be of real
service to the tourist and not merely an
advertising scheme published for pri-
vate gain. an official Guide, compiled
by the Dixie Highway Association's IS
own accredited representatives, will be
published.
Won't you kindly have your local
papers give publicity to this matter, in
the interest of the Dixie Highway
movement?
Very truly yours.

grand larceny are anticipated in the
next few days as result Of the po-
lice bomb squads investigation and
thefts on sugar ships destined for the

now have under surveillance checkers

steamship companies, whose vessels
caught fire.
OF the six men who were arrested
five were officers of lighters and

Canadian troop transport had been
sunk OF the Scilly islands is officially
denied here. 1t is said that not since
the end of July has a transport left
Canada with more than three hundred
men aboard and all of the transports
sailing previous to Aug 15 have
reached their destination safely.
London, Aug 3O-The German
armies are continuing their offensive
in Russia with vigor and with appar-
emily no indication of any intention on
their part to stop.
The German official statement pub
ished at Berlin speaks of advances or
varying Importance on the entire line
south of Kovno.
Perhaps the most important of
these is that made by the army group
under Prince Leopold of Bavaria.
These troops are now marching
through the Bialowcz forest, well to
the east 'of the Brest-Litovsk and
Bielostock railway, and on the out
skirts of the forest one wing of the
army is nearing Schereschowo, thirty
miles east of the railway and sixty
miles northeast Of Brest-Litovsk.
Father south the armies under Field
Marshal Won Mackensen are meeting
with but little resistance, according
to the German war Office and are ad-
Vancing apparently even into the
swampy region which is so extensive
in the district lying south of the
Prypet.
1t had been expected here that the
great Bialowcz forest and the Prypet
marshes would serve as a natural
barrier against the German advance
behind which the Russians might take
shelter. Such, however, does not
seem from the wording of the Berlin
statement to be the case.
Fierce hand to hand fighting for the
possession c. the excavations left by
mine explosions occurred at Marie
Therese and west of the forest of
Malincourt. The French troops, hav-
ing first gained footing in these ex-
cavations. retained possession of them
In spite of the numerous German at
tacks.
Elsewhere on the French front there
were heavy bombardments at various
points. The French communique fol.
lows:
There was the usual activity on
the part of artillery along the major
part of the front Particularly effec-
tive bombardments of the enemy's
line are reported in the north (the
sector of Hetsas and Steenstraete) in
the region of Chaulnes, north of the
Aisne, in the environs of Allies, at
Courecon, in Champagne, north of the
Chalons camp and between the Mause
and the Moselle in the neighborhood
of Pannes, Euvezin and the Mortmare
wood.
The following official statement was
given out by the Italian war Office:
"Details of our success in the Strina
valley show that the enemy suffered
severe losses, leaving in our hands a
great quantity of machine guns, am
munition, and sixteen cases of bombs
An important force of the enemy al
Saccarant and Pozzi Alta suffered
heavy loss, some guns being destroyed
and those remaining being transferred
to other positions outside the defence
works, from where they still reply to
our fire."
