British Military Critics Agreed That
the Counter Attack of the Russians
Has Postponed For Time the Ne
cessity For Any Further Retirement
of the SlaV Forces-operations In
the West.
London, July 1.-THE check whic1
the Russians have imposed on Arch
duke Joseph Ferdinand's army in
southern Poland and the additional
strain which this has placed on the
German General Won Mackensen's
army to the right has postponed, it IS
believed in military circles here, the
threatened German offensive in the
west, and there is now a possibility
that the allies will be the first to take
the offensive.
In support of this it is pointed out
that the attacks by the German crown
princes army in the Woevre, which
the German press announced was the
commencement of a general move for
ward, have ceased, and what fighting
is going on along the western front
consists of artillery engagements ant
a few isolated attacks and counter at
tacks by infantry, which make little
or no difference in the positions of the
opposing forces.
The British, according to the French
report, have repulsed a German at.
tack. The German reports, however,
allude to this as a British attack and
Berlin says IL was repulsed with con-
siderable loss. In fact, the French and
German reports are generally contra
dictory in respect to what fighting has
taken place, but from the trend of
them it is evident that neither side
has attempted anything of decisive
nature, and it is believed here that II
NAV he wear
So far as the Germans are con-
cerned, military observers assert, they
are bound to carry out their offensive
against the Russians until there IS
some decisive engagement, sucn as
the capture of the Lublin- Cholm rail.
way, which it is asserted would have
been in their hands before now if the
Austrians advancing toward the city
had not been driven back.
Reports from neutral sources are To
the effect that to make good their eff
forts against the Russians the Ger.
mans are moving troops which were
intended for the western front to the
east. To a certain extent this seems
confirmed by the statement in the
Russian official report that reinforce,
ments have reached Archduke Joseph
Ferdinand and that General Won Mac
kensen also commenced an offensive,
which, however, broke down under
the Russian fire.
While the military critics are still
undecided whether the Russians viii
make their stand on their present
lines or fall back to the Bug river
thus abandoning the fortresses of
Ivangorod and Warsaw, it is agreed
that the counter attack which they
have developed has postponed for a
time at least the necessity for any fur
ther retirement.
There is no further news of the re,
ported Italian victory on the Corsc
plateau, but dispatches from Rome
say the Italian troops are making good
progress in their work of capturing
the mountains around Trieste, which
they hope to take before commencing
the advance on the city itself, thus
avoiding a bombardment of the town.
which is largely inhabited by their
compatriots.

Peculiar MaIadY Affecting
Hogs in Mercer.

The Harrodsburg Herald has this to
say in regard 10 new disease which
made its appearance among the hogs in
Mercer county:
Mr.. Dave Teater, who lives on the
Perryville pike, has suffered the loss of
esome very fine hogs from a very peculiar
malady. The hogs did not show any
sickness, never quit eating and after a
hearty meal they would suddenly drop
over and begin swapping their teeth,
frothing at the mouth and squealiDg
Apparently their suffering was very
great and death would come in less than
half an hour When Mr.. Teater was in
town Tuesday he had lost five of his
nine fine hogs and said he expected to
find the others gone when he got back
home.

poem:
In Kentucky

The streams dance on the gladdest,
The moonlight falls the softest.
In Kentucky;
The summer days come oftest,
In Kentucky
Friendship is the strongest,
Loves light glows the longest,
Yet, wrong is always wrongest,
In kentucky.
Life's burdens bear the lightest,
In Kentucky;
The home fires burn The brightest,
In Kentucky;
While players are the keenest.
Cards come out the meanest,
The pocket emptIes cleanest,
In Kentucky.
The sun shines ever brightest,
In Kentucky;
The breezes whisper lightest,
In Kentucky;
Plain Girls are the fewest,
Their little hearts are the truest,
Maiden's eyes are the bluest
In Kentucky.
Orators are the grandest,
In Kentucky
Officials are the blandest,
In Kentucky.
Boys are the fiiest.
Danger ever highest,
Taxes are the highest,
= In Kentucky.
The blue grass waves the bluest,
in Kentucky;
Yet, bluebloods are the fewest ()
In Kentucky;
Moonshine is the clearest,
By no means the dearest,
And, yet, it acts the querest,
4 In Kentucky.
The dove notes are the saddest,
In Kentucky;
The streams dance on the gladdest
In Kentucky,
Hip pockets are thickest
Pistol hands are the slickest,
The cylinder turns quickest,
In Kentucky.
The song birds are the sweetest,
in Kentucky;
The thoroughbreds are fleetest,
In Kentucky;
Mountains tower proudest,
Thunder peals the loudeSt,
The landscape is the grandest-
And politics-the damnedest,
In Kentucky.

the southeast corner of the engine
room of the Technical high school
this morning by Chief Jantor Gum
pert at 6.45 o'clock as he was making
his first round of the building.
That the building was not consumed
may be attributed to the fireproof con-
struction of the building, against
which the flames could make little
progress. A pile of valuable books
on history and mechanics belonging to
Engineer ]. Grant Rooms. which were
in the corner and furnished fuel for
the flames. were destroyed. His loss
is 5000. The damage to the building
is slight.
No theory has been advanced as to
the cause of the fire. which must have
taken place some time after 10 o'clock
last night. when Mr.. Gumpert left the
electric apparatus indicates that 1t is
have been a mouse and match" fire,
the Tech janitor says there were no
matches in the room.
The entire engineroom was smoked,
part of the ceiling in the southeast
corner being so badly parched that it
dropped TO the floor. About fifty
square feet of tiling also dropped to
the floor because of the heat A val
uable steam indicator was DESTROYED
by the flames. Officials of the School
Board went over the situation to-day
