London, Jan. 1s-The violent Ger man attack to the north of Soissons under the direction of General Won Kiuck which, coupled with flood stage of. the river, had forced the French back across the Aisne, is the most striking news of the last 24 hours from the seat of the war. The Gera1ans have been gaining in this. locality for several days but they had not recovered all of -tI1e ground lost by them This engagenent north of Soissons is the first notable fighting in the vicinity since last September. when the British army which subse- quent1y was transformed to Belgium was successful in crossing the Aisne.
 Snow in the yosges mountains and f1oods in Flanders still prevent any extensive operations on the cas- tern or the western wings and to British observers it appears as though the Soissons district had been selected for the point where. with disbursements and first line troops, the Germans are planning to display once more the hammeFing tactics so familiar during the autumn.

AN IMPORTANT CASE
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT

A very important case was COM
menced yesterday in the circuit court
IN this city before Judge Bullock. The
suit promises to be both lengthy and
and will be fought to a
finish by counsel for both sides.
Mrs. Nena Kyle Elliott filed suit
yesterday to foreclose the deed given
bv Mrs. c. E. Connor to J. NJ. Elliott
(Mrs. Elliott's deceased husband) to
secure the debt of Mr.. Connor.
This is the result of suit filed by
Mrs. Connor some years ago to de-
clare the deed given to Elliot a mort
gage and not a conveyance. Mr.. FL
lott i'm his lifetime brought an eject
r;ent" suit against c. f. Como and
wife, which suit terminated adverse
ly TO Elliott, Mrs. Connor claiming
that the deed to the property was n
mere mortgage. The court sustained
the contention in her suit, and there
fore the Elliott deed was decreed TO
be mortgage and not a deed.
The suit is brought now to enforce
the deed as a mortgage. There has
D,en great deal of litigation grow
ing out of the matter but this will
probably be the most interesting ow-
ing to the fact that there is a serious
dispute over the amount of the alleg-
ed debt, Mr.. Connor claiming that
there is only a few hundred dollars
involved and the Elliott estate that it
is very large sum of money.
Like John Paul Jones said, "This
fight has just now started"
Mr.. w. w. Hampton of Gainesville
is counsel for Mrs. Elliott and local
attorneys are representing the Con-
nors.

Contest Raging for a Hundred Miles Around
the Polish Capital
S THOUGHT OUNUMBRED AND SHORT OF MUNITIONS ARE MAKING STUBBORN
RESISTANCE

London, July 23.-The outlying de-
fenses of Warsaw appear to have
checked temporarily, the Teutonic
drive on the Polish capital. Driven
back on the fortress of Ivangorod,
southeast of Warsaw, the Russians
are still holding that point, as far as
the latest official reports show. The
Russians are wavering along the
front northeast of the city. Berlin
says the Russian defense has not yet
broken. From the fortress of Novo-
goergieysk along the line of the Mar
ow to the north. the Russians are bat
ting desperately against the Ger
mans.
Southeast, Gen. Mackenson's great
armies are still engaged in drive for
the strategic Lublin-Chelm railroad.
Official and unofficial accounts agree
that the fighting there is desperate
and the issues are not yet decided on.
On nearly all other fronts, the Rus
SLAMS, while fighting hard, are fall
ing back.

TYROLESE EMPLOYING
THEIR ANCIENT TACTICS
AVALANCHES OF ROCKS HURLED ON HEADS OF
ADVANCING ITALIANS
ASSOCIATED Press)

Innsbruck, July 23.-While both
Germans and Austrians are fighting
with 42-centimeter cannon, and with
weapons that are the last word in the
art of the arms manufacturer, the
Tyroleans who have been drawn into
the war by the entry of Italy find that
the weapons used in the Napoleoniac
wars are still effective, and are using
them with what is reported as great
success.
The old weapons" are nothing less
than huge bOulders which they are
rolling down, avalanche-wise, onto
the Italians as the latter attempt to
storm the heights along the Austro-
Italian frontier. They are proving
quite as deadly as any shells have
done in this war.
The avalanche of rocks was first
used successfully in the battle of Bel
fore on June 14th. The Austrian
forces consisted of gendarmerie and
Tyrolean sharp shooters, whose fore
fathers had fought a hundred years
ago in approximately the same place.
The third company of the list Ital-
ian infantry regiment began an at
tack on Belfiore, attempting to come,
up along the ravine of the Gina
Norre. Long before they were at the
top however the downpour of boulders
began.
Many of the Italians were killed at
once, others were so severely wound
ed that they were captured. Those
who could scrambled to one side of
the ravine or the other, but only to
become easy marks for the bullets of
the Austrians.

Stick to Trenches to the Last
Shot
OTHER ALLIES AND GERMANS YIELD IN ORDER TO COME
AGAIN
(AssOciated Press)

London, July 23.-The British stick
to their trenches to the last man,
hence their heavy casualties. The
French, the Germans and Belgians
have no sentiment about yielding
ground, if to their military advantage
to do SO, especially when they can
draw the enemy on to marked ranges.
But the tradition of sticking it out to
the last, born of the days when man
was pitted against man instead of
man against machine, is so strong in
the British army that one of the
most important lessons of the war
has yet to be learned by it.
These are the observations of a
Canadian surgeon who has worked on
the three allied fronts in Flanders and
made close study of the different
fighting methods.
According to his account, the
French and German, unlike the Brit
ish, lay no stress on holding their
front line of trenches. In case of an
attack they withdrew to the rear
lines. Being a careful measured
range, the enemy in taking the first
line gets into a wasp's nest. The
French, with marvellous accuracy, pour
both shrapnel and high explosive
shells from their famous IS field
guns. When they assume the effen-
sive and capture a German trench,
they protect their men with a curtain
of fire as long as possible; but if its
occupation seems like to prove too ex-
pensive, they withdraw, measuring
the ground as best they can in their
retreat in order to correct the aim of
their batteries. Somewhat the same
tactics are followed by the Germans,
who, however, use machine guns in
stead of field cannon. But the Brit
ish hold on to their front trench
when attacked, and onto the captured
trerch when attacking, with cour-
age unexcelled in history. But they
act with more courage than intelli-
gence, since they play into the hands
of the Germans by their very stub
bornness.
British losses have almost all been
Cue to an effort to stick it out to the
last man, when the French would
have retreated, shelled out the foe and
made a fresh attack. This is the
French policy of attrition. 1t enabled
them to assume the offensive at will
and to keep up a constant and wear
ing action, while the British make
their fight and then remain as they
are for long periods of inaction-
