Enormous Losses

Important German forces which on
the morning Of the Esd crossed in the
Kozany region to the left bank Of the
Dniester suffered enormous losses.
Driven back to the river they were
forced to assume the defensive under
very difficult conditions. some Of their
troops being crowded on islands in the
river and others clinging to the left
bank.
Near Martyovo and Rousedviany,
the Austrians crossed the left bank
Of the Dniester. but by impetuous
counter-strokes our troops threw them
back to the river. Up until 10 O'Clock
the morning of the Esd. the enemy
lost about 10 officers and 1900 men Of
various regiments, whom We took pris-
oners.
The enemy is endeavoring to hold
his ground in positions close to the
river and is offering desperate resis-
lance. In these fights our heavy and
light artillery gave US effective sup
port.

 In 1908, according to the United States census nearly four thousand persons were drowned in the United States. All but three hundred were males.
 Swimming is splendid exercise as it keeps the muscles supple, enlarges the diaphram and wards off consumption. It gives every boy courage and self re- liance.
 The local "Y" pool is one of the finest ;n the southwest and hundreds of boys have learned to swim there. Compare this to the old swimming hole When father was a boy" where so many kids learned to swim, cuss. chew tobacco and raw beef

 Phoenix will be glad to see some of the big goers again this fall. We are assured by all the horsemen that the western circuits will be very popular this fall. meaning that quite a bit of representation from eastern stables, will be had.
 About the Knight This horse had his early training in Phoenix under the direction of Arlie Frost. He was one of the sensational pecers on the Great Western circuit last year, taking his record Of 2:O3lk at Phoenix during the fair.
 Both the horses referred to will start in the Ottawa meeting next week.
