About 125 ardent amateur baseball fans night in the City Hall armory A jolly time was enjoyed by the friendly gath ering and the praise that was given to MT. Nespor for his work in promoting the playground and amateur baseball in terests in the city, met with their hearty approval.

 Prominent men made short talks to the players and their followers Dr. Ded- man, the toastmaster made decided Init" with the boys. as well as the other speakers.
 Probably the most important thing that was brought up at the banquet was the announcement by President Ed Anderson of the Birmingham Athletic club that his club would not allow the services of the valua ble recreation department to be lost despite the fact that the city fathers had decided to drop the support of that department. The announcement of MT. Anderson brought out a round of applause and the previous speakers assured the amateur performers that the citizens of the city would not allow that department to fall from the service of the public.
 Some of the men who addressed the gathering were: Dr. Ballard. Mir Stall ings of the Young Mems Christian asso- iatton. E,6 Ar6crSon of the RrmiUR ha Athletic club; the Rev. McDougal, Dr. Phillips, Borden Burr, Hugh Locke, Sec retary Harrison of the local baseball as- sociation; z. Nespor, H. c. Vance and Hardin Newman.
 It was stated that the affair would be made an annual event and that next year they would attempt to make an even greater success. It was also an nounced that every team in the district had a representative at the banquet ex- cept the Postoffice nine. of the Greater Birmingham league

AUSTRO-GERMAN OFFENSIVE ENTERS
 DECISIVE STAGE
Russians Driven From One Advance Position After Another by the I'm
 petuOus TeutOns

Austro-Hungarian Headuua rters July n.-tVia London. July %, Il 20 D. m.)-The Aestro-German offensive in Poland is pro- eeeaing with machine-like regularity and mas entered a decisive stage in south roland, where a battle is under way for possession of the important railroad line connecting Chelm. Lublin and Ivango- Tod and also for possession of these stra- logically important cities
 The Russians have been driven from one advanced position after another and iorced to fall back on their last and main me of defense south of the railroad.
 The long battle line has been shortened considerably. owing to the northward movement of the armies and the Russians thereby have been enabled to concentrate ih heavier force But the same factor Trees considerable masses of the allied troops to be used for a concentric at- tack against the new line.
 The advance has been executed under highly unfavorable conditions. The al lies have had to force their way through a wide belt of sandy country, interrupted with frequent swamps. The Russians could entrench with lightning rapidity, while the Austro-Gernan artillery could
 
 when double-spanned and with the gun hers putting their sholders to the wheels. Also marching and the observations for the artillery were hampered by wet weather and fog.
 First Quality Troops The opposing Russian troops are of the first quality. They are handicapped, however by lack of artillery and ann intuition and particularly from short age of officers, the battalions sometimes being commanded by a single commis- Sioned officer.
 The advance is proceeding in three col rmns. The objective of the eastery col umn is the Russian barrier south and southwest of Chelm An Austro-G German army is almost in touch with it.
 The Austrian Archduke Joseph Ferdi- hands army, operating against Lublin and over which the Russians recently attempted to claim victory near Kras- nix, already has passed the furthermost line reached by the Austrian General Dankrs army last August and is pushing back the Russians.
 Fighting Furiously
 Before Ivangorod the Russians are fighting furously in positions barely 10 miles southwest of the fortress, appar- ently attempting only to cover the retreat upon Ivangorod This position already mas been broken at one point and its abandonment is imminent. Ivangorod from this side is strong and an attack against it difficult, but it is less defensble from the east and the archdulSes advance from that region is it's main danger.
 Comparative quiet prevails along the Bug river. The Austrlans by crossing the river at Sokal and to the northward have secured flank against any attempt al enyeopment.
 Desperate fighting on a smaller scale is in progress on the Bukowina frontier the Russians making vigorous attempts to break the northeastern front. An at tack the night of the 20th northeast of Czsernowitz lasted five hours before the Russians were repulsed with heavy cas- ualties. Cannonading in this battle was heard at Czsernowtz.

STATE is PLANTING
TREES IN THE NORTH

ELY, MIMI, May 27.-The Mime
sofa foest service is planting 100000
Norway and 10000 white pine trees
in the BURNSIDE state forest. The
trees are three years old and come
from the experimental station at Clo-
quet. With Fl men, the number now
employed, the work will require about
one month.
The trees are being set out six and
a half or seven feet apart, each way,
so that an average of 1900 are re-
quired for an acre.
The area planted has growth of
poplar, birch and pack pine, which
protects the young trees and pro-
notes height growth. This method is
USED extensively in Germany and has
proved successful. Last year the SER
vice planted 175,000 pine in the vici-
nifty Of Clark lake, and they have done
very we'll.
Supervisor L. NJ. Brownell with a
crew Of men is setting out $4,000 Nor

It is also understood that the East
