Efforts to Crush Complete ly Russian Army Not Yet
 Exhausted-VOn Hinden-
 burg on the Aggressive
TEUTONIC FORCES
 GAIN GROUND ALL
 ALONG THE FRONT
Aerial Activity in the West COntinues-GermanS At tack Paris-Balkan Situa- ton Is Unchanged

: London, August 28.-(3 D.. m. )-The Germanic allies have not yet exhausted their efforts to crush completely the Rus sian army. In the Baltic prov inces, Von Hindenburg again has become aggressive and is attempting to drive the Rus sians back to Dvina, while far to the south the Austro-Hun- garians, in southeastern Ga icia have broken through the Russian positions on the Zlota- Lipa, Berlin and Vienna claim, and are advancing north and south of Brzezany.
 v Along the rest of the front also the Germans claim to be gaining some Eround, but apparently they are as far as ever from their main endeavor-- the capture or destruction of the Rus sian armies. The later, although pressed hard at many points, continue their orderly retreat, leaving little or Nothing useful to the invaders
 Whether the Russians can maintain . stand in the rev positions they are said to have prepared, the next few day 5 should tell. There are reports that reu- tonic reinforcement, are being sent frcm the east to the western and Servian fronts, but military writers here agree that so long as Russa's armies remain intact, it would be dangerous for the en- emy to detach troops for operations else where. Now that the fortresses are re- duced, however, big guns might be trans ferred.
 Western Offensive
 There is a German offensive in the west, while Servian aviators are said to have discovered that the Austro- German force gathered at Orsova for a rumored effort to force a way through Servia and Bulgaria to aid Turkey. is not of Inc strength reported.
 On the western front the activity of the airmen continues. Six German aviators attempted an attack on Paris, but were driven off with the loss of one machine. twhi,e the allies threw bombs on Ostend, Niddelkerxe and Bruges On the 6unes ct Middelkerke the Germans have some of their most formidable batteries for use against attacks from sea, while at Bruges the objective of the airmen would be the canal and docks used extensively by the Germans for transporta ton purposes.
 The Balkan situation still holds a great deal of interest and confidence is ex- pressed that with Servia showing a com tpromising attitude, it will be settled to the advantage of the entente allies. Ser vias reply to the allies, however, has not .yet been delivered and Bulgaria. Greece and Roumania are holding their hands until the contents are known.

 No word has reached Berlin con corning the conference, and there have been no developments of any sort in the case here since the chancellor's declaration of policy, given in a state ment to the Associated Press Wednes- day
 Admiral Won Mueller. chief of the pri- vate marine cabinet, and the Emperor s direct personal adviser on naval affairs, also is with the Emperor The admiral S influence. it is known is thrown with n. IT. I Foreign Minister Won Jagow against com plioations with the United States. The opinion is held here that there is no req son to change the hopeful view of the situation expressed after the chancellors 3 statement.
 Instructions Issued
 The exact wording of instructions is- sued to naval commanders has not been d.vuged. and higher officers when ques- toned avoid an answer. but 1t is stated that they certainly include the order to attack no passenger steamers without adequate warning. Whether this applies to freighter cannot be learned. The dif- flculty of distinguishing a freighter from passenger ship through a periscope is considered as likely to be an important point of consideration.
 The American government now is in of ficial possession of the same declaration of policy as contained in Dr. Vor Beth ann-Hollweg statement. and apparent ly with the same limitations It was con- veyed by Minister Von Jagow to James w. Gerard, the American ambassador, at conference Wednesday noon.
 No report on the sinking of the Arabic has yet been received. none of the sub marines which might possibly have been involved having returned to port. The admiralty says the report may come any day, or may be delayed another fortnight. At least that interval must elapse before the last of the submarines operating south of Ireland return.

CLINTON CROP PROMISING.

Clinton, Miss, May 25.-Crops in
this community are very promising.
the weather since the cold spring was
broken has been ideal for getting a
stand and for working out the young
plants. The dry weather harmed the
yield of oats some, but withal there
will be a very good crop harvested.
Corn is looking well, and there has
been the largest crop pitched this
spring for many years. There was
planted some wheat, and this has been
quite a success. Cotton has come to
a good stand, and while there has
been planted a pretty large crop, the
acreage reduction is thought to be
about 10 per cent. There has been a
large acreage of potatoes planted.
The canning factory in Jackson has
been a great stimulus to the people
here in regard to this crop. The bet
ter class of farmers are still holding
their cotton. One farmer said be had
80 bales under the shed, and that he
was going to try to make 80 more
bales. He said he had borrowed
what money he needed for emery
ency purposes. This man is but an
index to many others.

DISCUSSES
NOTES OF REPORTERS
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE SAYS LIHER.
AL INTERPRETATION SHOULD
BE MADE OF THEM.

Jackson, Miss, May 25.-The Mis-
siss1ppi statute in reference to
stenograpers' notes should be liber-
ally construed, and if attorneys who
are prosecuting appeals demand notes
of the stenographers within thirty
days after court adjourns it is not
necessary for them. to Immediately
file copy of the notice with the clerk
of the court.
In deciding this question today,
Judge Stevens, of the supreme court,
in the case of the New Orleans and
Northeastern railroad against S. J..
Gates, overruled the motion to strike
from the record the transcript of the
stenographer's notes.
The motion presented the question
whether, under section 797, chapter
III, laws of 1910, a person desiring
to appeal was required to file with
the clerk of the court a copy of the
within thirty days of the adjourn
ment of court" The statute provides
that notice in writing shall be given
and served on the stenographer with
in thirty days, and that "in either
case the attorney making the request
shall file with the clerk of the court
copy of the notice with a statement
as to how the notice was served"
The record in the case decided shows
that the stenographer was notified
within 80 days, but a copy was not
tlled with the clerk until some time
later. The statute, according to Judge
Stevens. does not, in express terms,
limit the time which a copy of the
notice be served with the clerk, and
he says the filing beyond thirty days
of the adjournment of court is suf-
ficient."
The supreme court has set June IA
for the reargument OF the case of the
state against A. Angela, involving the
anti-tipping law. Angela is the pro-
prietor of a restaurant in a town in
Lefiore county and it is claimed failed
to properly post in his place of bust
ness copy of the law making it a
to 'tip" a waiter.
