ONSLAUGHT IN BALTIC.
In the Mitau-B -Busk district the German
forces under General Won Buelow are
making the most terrific efforts against
the Russian line, using cavalry torces on
a scale hitherto unheard Of in warfare
All along the battle front in Poland, eX-
cept at the extreme ends, the Germans
and Austrians are using enormous num-
bers of guns to batter their way through
the Russian lines.
At a single point they concentrated
l50 cannon with which they swept the
Russian trenches with hurricane OF
shot and shell that could not be with
stood. The ammunition resources OF the
Teutons seem ineXhaustible.
The situation east OF the Vistula and
south of Warsaw is becoming critical
The tenacity and courage OF the Russians
could not Withstand the superior artil-
lery and munition supplies of the Ger
mans.
On the right bank of the Narew River
south OF ostrolenka bloody lighting is
in progress. 1t is here that the Austro-
German forces are making their supreme
effort TO sever the railway link between
Warsaw and Petrograd. The Russians
defending the position have been ordered
to die nghting. but not. to retreat or
surrender.
GALLwITz's DRIVE ON BUG.
Three hundred thousand Germans,
under General Won Gallwitz. have begun
terrific drive southwark In an attempt
to cut the Warsaw-Petrograd Railway
by crossing the River Bug at Wyszkow,
80 miles northeast OF Warsaw,
Their aim is to seize the railway at
Tluscz, 20 miles northeast of Warsaw,
and surround a part OF the Russian
armies still holding the salient around
Warsaw. Won GallwitE is equipped with
heavy guns Of all calibres and has been
supplied with fresh troops presumably

FORD CAR PRICES
AGAIN REDUCED


The Ford Motor company makes an
important announcement in a flat re-
duction in the price Of their car,
coupled with the statement that while
they guarantee against amy further
reduction within a year, they cannot
give assurance that the price may not
be advanced at any time. This is in
harmony with the aggressive and yet
careful policy of the Ford Company,
whose desire and earnest efforts are
continually devoted to annual price
reductions consistent with the main
tcnance of their established hirh
standard of quality and efficiency and
after service"
To maintain this policy when the
annual output of ears uns into the
hundreds of thousands, the most de
p]cndablo information and reliable
facts are absolutely necessary Ia
guide the company in its efforts in
controlling the costs in production
will have reached it's lowest limit.
Therefore, the question Of materials
and the conditions governing manu-

pany's business.

COURTS To DECIDE
DOUBLE TAXATION


Tulsa car owners are greatly in
censed over the action taken boy the
city in the case OF the state tax law.
rhe state tax law, which goes into
effect ON September /, says that every
person owning an automobile must
lake out a state license, and hat this
is all that will he necessary. The
city, however, maintains that such is
not the case and ma wherever a
state license is taken out and no city
tag purchased the owner of such car
will be subject to arrest.
Under the auspices of the local
automobile association n collection
has been started, and literally sub
scribed to by many prominent citi-
zens
The fact that the state while exact
ing its tax really gets as her share
only 10 per cent Of the tax thus
levied as against % per cen coming
back to the city proper, and 50 per
cent which goes to the county, merely
serves to make the city's action in this
instance the more peculiar.

LAKE AUTO
ROADS NOW PLANNED


LOUISVILLE. ky Concerted eff
fort now in progress probably will
orystalize some time in the very near
future in the definite formation of 1t
new highway from the lakes to the
gulf. the new and direct route to be
formed from routes of various other
highway associations now established.
While plans to date are more or less
tentative in nature, the route probably
win hc known as jackson highway,
joining Chicago on the north with
Pensacola and New Orleans on the
south, passing through Lafayette,
Indianapolis. Louisville, Bardstown,
Galldtin, Tenn, Nashville, Birming
ham, Ala, and Montgomery. II also Is
the purpose of those fostering the pro
joct to establish a branch running
from some point at the north, be
tween Louisville, Ky. and La Fayette,
Ind, to either Cleveland or Buffalo.
Both of the latter cities are seeking
to be made the eastern terminal of
this new road.
Peter Lee Anterior, president of
the Central Lincoln Road association,
with headquarters at Louisville, Ky,
has been made temporary president
Of the jackson Highway association.
This action resulted from "A meeting
held early this month at B"irmingham,
Ala, at which the temporary body was
formed for the purpose of merging
the different state organizations to
the end that a permanent Jackson
Highway association may be formed.
Mr.. AthertOn has established head
quarters for the temporary organiza-
ton in Louisville.
In Form of a Y.
The proposed highway will have the
form of a Y, with the two northern
divisions probably COnyerging at
LOuisville-but this may be changed
and thence running in a single line
to Pensacola; where it will follow the
gulf to New Orleans. Opinion along
the route seems to be that this pro-
posed route can be made second in
importance only to the Lincoln high
way. 1t is maintained that it would
rank second to the Lincoln only in
length, while in use it would lead,
since it would be an all-the-year-
around route.
At the present time, there are sew
eral highway associations between
Chicago and New Orleans that are
seeking to combine on this project.
There is the Bakes-to-the-Gulf High
way association, in Indiana, with
headquarters at Salem. There is the
Central Dixie Highway association. in
Kentucky. This association advocates
the Central Lincoln or Bardstown
route in Kentucky via BardstOwn and
Glasgow to Nashville. There is the
Jackson Way association, which is
backing the Nashville Birmingham
