Paris.-Counter-attacks by the Rus
sian armies defending Warsaw
brought to an almost complete stand
still the great enveloping movement
by the Austro-German invaders under
command Of Won Mackensen, Won
Buelow and Won Hindenburg.
The Grand Duke Nicholas's firm
stand came at a critical time, for the
German advance had acquired a mo-
mentum almost as great as that which
swept Galicia clear of Russians a few
weeks ago.
The day was not without comfort
for the Germans, however. Field
Marshal Won Mackensen took a few
villages on the way to the Lublin-
Cholm railway, between the Vistula
and the Bug rivers, and the Austrians
by a counter-offensive at Sokal, have
stormed positions which will make the
German flank safer.
Toward the south the Germans con
tinued their eastward advance toward
the Vilna-Petrograd railway, but they
have far to go before their objective
is reached. 1t is considered likely
that Won Buelow, who is in command
of this movement, will turn to the
southwest to threaten the Russian
armies which are facing Hindenburg.
With interest largely centred on the
east, the important offensive of the
French in Alsace has been almost dis
regarded. They reported another sue
cess to the north Of Muenster, which
apparently is their objective, and the
repulse of a series of German counter
attacks.
The French have concentrated a lot
of artillery in this region, and with
high explosives have been simply
tearing up the German defensive
works, which are among the strongest
along the whole line.
Artillery likewise is playing an i'm

ed to have concentrated their fire on
the Austrian positions. This fire is
said to haveSexceeded in violence that
which the Austro-Germans employed
against the Russians in western Ga,
licia, which up to that time was the
most terrific ever experienced in
war.

RESCUE SCENES
Life Guards and Divers, Priests
and Physicians Labor to
Save Victims.
MORGUE IN A WAREHOUSE
Rev After Row of Bodies Fill Great
rooms as Waiting Crowds Weep
and Curse-Pathetic Scenes
Are Witnessed.

Chicago, July 26.-The tug Kenosha,
tied to the pier west Of the Clark
street bridge, formed an approach to
the liner.
From the tugs after rail one
stepped on to the great iron side of the
overturned steamer and scrambled up
to the fiat length, taking care of the
open portfolios, and the holes cut by
The acetylene blowpipes.
The side Of the boat had become as
a deck-a place where the rescuers
might stand.
The scene was confusing.
Policemen, officers, firemen, SOL
diers, divers, men in bathing suits
life guards-priests, reporters, physi-
clans and others jostled and bumped
each other.
Every second came the cry:
"~Stretcher!" and a dozen men would
rush toward the spot. Then came the
warning, "Gangway! Gangway!" and
four men would go by carrying a still,
bla~nket-covered figure.
Now and then a policeman walked
through the crowd, carrying a bundled
corpse of a child in his arms.
Here two men were pumping air to
a diver down in the depths, there a
group waited, pulling on ropes,
watching someone down below
ready to haul up another body when
the signal came.
Office Of Chureh.
A priest stood by one such hole.
There was a shawl round his shout
ders and he held an umbrella.
e" have given them all conditional
absolution," he said; some who came
out alive, but almost dead, received
the last sacrament, the viaticum."
"AIl ready upstairs!" came the
shout from below.
The aremen pulled on the ropes.
The body came up bit by bit.
"~Stretcher!" bawIed someone, and
in a trice there were two stretchers
waiting.
The hand of the priest made the
sign Of the cross as the body came
into view and his lips muttered:
Ego te absolve a peccatis tuis, in
nomine PATHS, ca Fill, ct Spirit Sane
tt, Amen!-I absolve you from all
your sins, in the name of the Father,
and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen!"
1t was the body Of a young girl,
dressed in a white dress. There were
white pumps on the feet and white
silk gloves on the rms. She held
clasped in one hand a gold watch. It
was opened.
"Ah, pool SOUL" said the priest
"She was holding her sweetheart's
watch, perhaps, and they were chat.

turned"
Up came the man from the hold

the steamer upset.
In describing her experience and
rescue she said:
I'VE were on the side Of the boat
nearest the dock and as the steamer
suddenly listed / threw out my hands
in an effort to catch hold Of some
thing, but failed and fell into the
water. l went under and as l came
to the surface / saw two hands reach
ing out through a portfolio. They
pulled me through. I do not know
whether my husband, daughter and
sister-in-law were saved"

nue., a lifeguard at Diversey beach.
II must rest awhile" he said. I'm
all in. l must have fastened a dozen
girls to the ropes. 1t seems there are
piles of them. Somebody give me a
cigarette"
The bodies were carried down to
the tug, across the tug, on the right
side, up the steps and over the bridge
to the Reid-Murdoch storage room.
Others were taken in the opposite
direction, placed in one of the score
Of small boats at the end and taken
across the stream to the warehouse.
Thousands of men and women
looked on, crowding the bridges, fill
ing every window overlooking the riv-
er, choking the docks and the piers
near by.
Morgue In Warehouse.
The Reid-Murdoch warehouse pre-
sented another picture of confusion.
The dead were placed in long rows,
side by side-men, women, children.
There were boxes, and bundles, and
barrels and articles of merchandise
all over the great room.
The police swarmed all around, COM
pany officials, doctors, nurses-and un-
dertakers who were embalming bodies.
Clear away all these things" bel
lowed Schuettler through his mega
phone; make room!"
How many bodies are here now?"
he asked someone.
six hundred" he was told.
There's twice that many on the
boat yet" he said; get some more
men in here to guard these bodies. We
caught one ghoul robbing on the boat
and ones too many"
Finds Girls Body.
A man stumbled through the crowd
around the corner and exclaimed:
1--we found my little girl, I've found
her and l want to take her home"
The coroner shook his head.
1--WE can't do it, we cannot release a
single body. We're going to take all
these to some central point-the Sec
ond infantry armory or the Coliseum
or some place big enough. Write down
the girls name on a tag. the one who
identified her, the address and the
amount of the estate"
And so 1t went all day, the stretcher
men going and coming.
Work to Restore Lives.
Upstairs in the storage building
physicians worked to ~resuscitate many.
Many were brought to life, many were
given up after lung motors had been
used for hours in vain.
One of these latter was a boy of
eight years.
A diver had found him clinging to
the submerged rail. He was dressed In
an Indian" play suit, with a bathing
suit underneath.
"We worked on him for more than
an hour" said DR.. Joseph Ross. There
were signs of life, but very faint. He's
gone in spite of all we could do"
A string of ambulances and auto
trucks lined Clark street. A Gordon Of
police stood about the doors Of the
Reid-Murdoch building, and crowds
sought to get past, claiming relatives,
parents, children, friends.
The police were forced to refuse
most Of them admittance-and the
women went away weeping-the men
murmuring, cursing or threatening.
And more came in their places.
Suddenly Finds Wife.
A man in overalls, who was thought
to be one of the electricians at work
putting in the emergency lights at one
Of the hospitals, suddenly sank by the
side of a young woman who had Just

IsoNzo. BATTLE coNrINuEs.

N@O- OON llNOESs
London.-Five great battles in three
different arenas marked the first an
niversary of Austria's ultimatum to
Serbia which precipitated the world
clash of arms.
In the east the Austrians and Ger
mans pushed with vigor their attacks
against the Cars forces defending
Warsaw, with armies said to number
at least 2,500,OO0 men. Vienna and
Berlin report that some progress was
made, but Petrograd says the Russian
lines are still intact and that blow for
blow is being struck.
On the western front severe fighting
took place in the Argonne and in the
Vosges.
The Italians and Austrians contin-
ued their battle on the Isonzo, with
the losses on both sides mounting
steadily.
In the Dardanelles also there was
close range fighting. but the casual
ties, although large, did not entitle the
engagement to rank in importance
with the great clashes in the other
theatres of war.
The strength of the Russian second
line of defenses appears to have check
ed the impetuosity Of the Austro-Ger-
mar drive for the Polish capital, and
Russians are counter-attacking stub
bornly at practically every point on
the long line.
The invaders are operating through
country which the Russians have laid
waste and in which the roads are al
most impossible for the heavy artil-
lery necessary for the bombardment
Of the great ~fortresses that bar their

Robin That Reasoned.

Showing the motherly are of a
robin, an exchange relates the follow
ing beautiful instance:
"A robins nest was filled with young
ones in sight Of a friends window.
The mother bird was away when a VIC
lent thunderstorm came up. AS the
heavy drops began to pour down she
returned and the little ones greeted
her with open mouth, expecting food.
She pressed them down with her foot
and sat on them with extended wing
to shed the hard rain, and remained
there till the storm was over.
WAS there not a process of reason
here? She saw the heavy downpour
of rain and, thinking Of her exposed
children, believed they would be hurt
or drowned without her care, SO she
hurried back. This is called instinct,
but instinct is concentrated wisdom
without the process being shown"

MEO0RA STANDS

Medora, June 3-There was a school
election held at Medora Tuesday.
Generally speaking little interest is

there were sixty ballots cast; few il
any of the voters remaining at home;
even the circus at Dickinson enticed
only three. What was the interest?
Il appears to have been in the air
for some days that certain parties
wanted a change in teachers for the
good Of the school. The other fac
ton desired that the same teachers
be retained for another school year,
and a petition to this effect was pre-
sented to the school board, signed by
all who had children Of school age,
and by many who had no children.
A special meeting of the board was
called, and as a result of the petit
ticn, and the board being fully salts
fed with the teachers, they were en-
gagged for another year. To approve
what they board did appears to have
entered into the election. Two men,
bers were to be elected, and the vote
to sustain the old boards action in
~re-electing the teachers stood 81 for
and 8 against.
This is said to be a fine endorse.

SUPERIOR TO NATURAL ICE
Many Reasons Why the Artificial

More Sanitary.

Artificial ice made from distilled wa.
ter, in a Clearly way, is free from dis.
ease germs; the same cannot be said
Of natural ice produced from waters
Of varying degrees of purity. There
has been a too-comlon impression
that water purifies itself in freezing.
and even that ice made from polluted
sources is sterile, and therefore safe.
1t is true that freezing eliminates
many of the impurities. As the ten.
perature falls in the quiet winter
nights and the sheet Of crystal forms,
the impurities, the organic matter, the
mineral salts, the bacteria are thrust
downward. But the elimination is not
complete.
For two reasons ice made from pol.
luted water is itself likely to be pol
luted. First, certain quantities of the

ond, ice is usually formed by alter,
nate freezes and thaws through tha
early winter, followed by continued
cold weather that finally closes the
lake or river. The ice that is cut often
includes, therefore, a certain amount
of snow-ice Or surface ice that has
had no opportunity to eliminate its i'm
purities, and retains everything that
contaminated the water Of which it
was made.-The Companion. "

FISH FARMING REV INDUSTRY
Methca Of Livelihood That is Begin.
ring to Attract a Good Deal
Of Attention.

A new method Of livelihood, as we'll
as q new method Of living, is afforded
by fish farming, which is a rapidly
growing industry. 1t may be a lazy
mans job, but for development be.
You'd an addition to the family living,
Of course, 1t takes time and attention.
A running stream or an acre Of pond
can be made to earn more money than
a well-tilled five-acre farm, says the
Peoples Magazine. The national
government, as we'll as many states
through their fish commissions, not
only gives free instructions in fish
farming, but will also supply the
young fish or eggs most likely to
thrive best in the locality. But best
of all perhaps is the recognition that
farmers all over the country are CON-
Ing to, that a private fish pond is a
splendid source of food supply. 1t was
no long time ago when such a thing
had not been thought of. Now gen.
orally there is a comprehension that
such a private pond costs little to
maintain, and is almost sure to fur.
nish far more fish than any n fami.
ly can eat. The demand for fish
adapted to this kind of pond culture
Is greater than the supply, and farm
ers enterprising enough to have ponds
have nc difficulty in selling the prod.
uct. Many farmers sell eggs as we'll
as fish to other farmers and to the
governments of state and nation.
Private fishing clubs r a great aid
in the same way. Fish can be
shipped anywhere if they are kept
cool and moist, and this makes it
easy to find a market almost bound
less in extent. But fish, of course, are
subject to diseases that at times
cause large losses, and the official
fish service is at work constantly
finding out these diseases and their
remedies. Most of these diseases, it is
said, come through impure water
caused by contaminated streams: II
the water is kept pure, the fish farm
er has little cause for worry as to his
crop"
