German Pursuit Of Russians.
Gives No Indication Of
SlaCkening.
KAISER'S PERMANENT LINE
British Public Awaits Coming
of big Push" Forward
In France.

London, Aug. 30.-The German
pursuit of the retiring Russians
shows no sign of slackening and Ber-
lin yesterday reports progress all
along the eastern battle line except
in northern Courlsnd, where the Rus
SLAMS are offering stubborn and eff
fective resistance.
From southeast of Kovno, where
the Germans claim to have broken
the Russian resistance and must,
therefore, be approaching Wilma;
along the Niemen to Grodno and
thence southeastward through the
forest of Bieloviezh and along the
borders of the Pripet river marshes
the Russians are falling back.
Speculation again is rife as to
whether the Germans intend to push
the Russians further CT prepare po-
sitions from which to hold the Mus
covites. Military observers here be-
lieve this question must be settled
before many days, arguing that any
ventures proposed for the fall must
commence to develop soon.
The artillery has been the chief
mode of warfare in the west. The
allies guns have been the most act
i've, shelling virtually the entire Ger
man line. The allies, too, have been
using their air craft in large squad
rons to lombard German barracks
and positions.
1t is being vaguely limited hEe
that mid October has been chosen as
the time for the long postponed big
push" of the allies, but the point at
which an attack is to take place is
not mentioned. The general pubic
does not expect a strong offensive
yet, but in some circles there would
be no surprise should Gen. Joffre,
tue French commander-in-chief, find
1t possible to attempt some kind of
forward move before mid October.
There hiss been no heavy fighting
on the Gallipoli peninsula. according
to the Turks, who claim that the al
lies suffered heavily last Friday in a
series of attempted attacks. Meth.
er Paris nor London has mentioned
these engagements.

STORM VICTIMS
BODY FOUND
HOpkinSville Boy Lost In The
Texas Coast Storm Two
Weeks Ago.

Mr.. w. w. Wilkins. was notified
by telegraph Sunday that the body
of his son, Ewell Wilkins, who was
chief engineer on the United States
dredgeboat San Bernard at Calves
ton, and which was wrecked by the
storm of two weeks ago, had at last
been recovered and would be sent
here for burial. For days the fami-
ly here had been in suspense and
hoping against hope that the young
man would turn up alive. No de-
tails were given as to how and where
the body was found.
Mr.. Wilkins was Mason and that
order is looking after having the
body forwarded. He was married
on March 80 to a Texas girl, and she
has written the family here that the
storm destroyed their home and all
their belongings and that she was
in the water forty. eight hours and
was carried forty.two miles before
being rescued.

Mr.. BIBLE
INJURED
In a Desperate Encounter With
a Negro He Had
Arrested.

In paivate letter to a friend.
Hon. JOnh F. Bible, of Yazoo City,
Miss, tells of a thrilling encounter
he had with a desperate negro on
his plantation, in which he sustained
serious injuries. Mr.. Bible arrested
the negro for some cause not
stated, at the point of revolver.
and the man quietly submitted.
While walking along. the negro. i.
suddenly sprang at his captor and.
clinched in struggle, during which
he used a knife and Mr.. Bible
dubbed with his pistol, splitting the
negro's right hand between the.
fingers, to the wrist. In their
struggles Mr., Bible was pushed into.
a ravine and when he extricated
himself the negro was gone. Mr..
Bibles right hand was broken with
a blow that felled the negro and he.
was compelled to write with his left
hand. He was found by a colorsd
tenant on his plantation who took
him in a buggy to have his wounds
dressed.
Mr.. Bible left here last spring for
plantation life in Mississippi, which
is not proving altogether a bed Of
roses. His daughters have spent the
summer with him but are expected

Sunday morning. went over an en-
bankment near the Stones river
bridge nine miles from the city.

Lewisburg & Northern railroad, was
pinned under the machine, aud re-
ceived probably fatal injuries. while
H. Edward Palmer, local attorney
and prominent in social circles,
driver of the car, escaped with cut

Fate was kind to the injured men,
for Mr.. Kirkland came to the scene
thirty minutes after the accident in
his automobile from Horn Springs.
He picked up the injured men and
rushed them to DR.. Lucius Burch's
infrmary. Mr.. Palmer's injury was
dressed without his being admitted
to the infirmary. An examination
of Mr.. Rogers revealed that his ir-
juries might prove fatal. Physicians

city to attend to some construction
work for the Lewisburg & Northern
railroad. He>is 32 years old, ac-
cording to the record at the infirm-
ary. His address in this city was
not learned by the physicians.
Mr.. Palmer is a Vanderbilt gradu-
ate, and is the son of the late Judge
Horace Palmer of Murfreesboro.-
Tennessean.
Mr.. Rogers has number of
friends in this city. He is a close
friend of Rodman Meacham and
came home with him two weeks ago
and spent Sunday. The young men
were together Saturday afternoon
and parted when Mr.. Meacham
started for home, arriving here at
Z o'clock, He was called at a. m.
Sunday morning and notified of the
accident to his friend and returned
to Nashville at $40 a. m. to be with
him.
Mr.. Rogers is a member of the
construction company of Walton
Mcdowell Co., being manager of the
works on which the Meacham Con-
tracing Co.. is concrete sub.con-
tractor at Diana. Tenn. He is a
young gentleman of high social
standing and fine business qualifica-
tions. He is unmarried. His local
friends earnestly hope that his life
may be saved.
