SURPRISE BLOW
GIVEN FRENCH
In Desperate Attack Allies Are
Hurled Back.
1000 PRISONERS ARE TAKEN

Onslaught Met by the Enemy win
Frenxied obstinaney, but to No
Avail - Austro-0ermans Continue
Advance-Russians Retreat.
London. July 6.-The German forces
made a sudden and precipitate attack
along the western border Of the
lie Pretre forest, charging with
violent determination. and before the
French troops could stop them had
penetrated a quarter of q mile along
q front of one mile.
The attack, small though II seems
in comparison with the large move
ments in the eastern theater, was un-
doubtedly the most successful the
Germans have made since their drive
at Ypres in Belgium. two months ago.
One thousand wounded French troops
were made prisoners and all Of the
onicers Of a battalion stan were cap
tured. The booty amounted to two
field guns, four machine guns, and
three light and four heavy mine
throwers.
The engagement was begun. accord
ing to the French statement. with lit
tie warning the Germans apparently
designing to catch their opponents
unawares. II would appear that their
design was carried out. especially In
view Of the large number Of prison
ers made, and the capture Of the ON
GERS Of a battalion STAFF. The Ger
man statement says that the French
troops defended themselves desper-
ately. suffering enormous losses In
killed and wounded In addition to the
1000 troops made prisoners. The
French statement says that des-
perate attempt was made by the at
tackers TO drive onward into the
original French positions, but that
this attempt was frustrated.
During the French attack on the st.
Nihiel wedge nearly three months
ago, Il will be remembered that the
Germans were driven entirely out OF
the positions they had held in lie
Pretre forest. Since then there have
been reports Of isolated engagements
in this vicinity. but neither side has
deemed II advisable to launch . very
vigorous attack.
The Germans today announce an
other success. though Of much less
importance. in the west II was the
destruction Of q French blockhouse
position near Haut Berieupt. south OF
Mercy, on the Moselle. The French
troops were driven from this position,
Berlin says. after which the place was
blown up and the fighting implements
destroyed. The Germans then re-
tired on their original lines.
Reports from the eastern battle
front are a repetition of weeks. the
Austro- Germans, slowly advancing In
all directions. The Russians. accord
ing to dispatches from Petrograd. are
now north OF Zamosc, over the La
bunka river. their main army retreat
ing and only the rear guards In con-
tact with the enemy. The Germans
announce victories at Blonka, Turo-
bin, Tarnawka and Krasnik.
The Russians speak OF the German
advance as now being in the form OF
crescent. which evidently means
that one horn swings over the Rus
sian Poland line down on the Bug
river. and there is yet no junction be-
tween armies OF General Won Linsin-
gen and the northern forces.
The Russians are not yet ready to
give battle on any front OF the south

he was unable to state the nature OF

IN OUR OWN STATE
Bio Coal Output

New mines are being opened near
Hazard. Contracts for an annual
output Of $4,000 tons by these new
mines have been signed.
Mr.. Dudley, president OF the coal
corporation, says "the coal beds on
First Greek alone contain 10000, 600
tons OF mincablc coal, which lies
in horizontal strata, making IL only
necessary TO tunnel in the face Of
the mountain To reach IL. While
the minimum output is $4,000 tons.
there is no reason why the annual
output from this section should not
reach 100000 tons.

sERiEs OF ZEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING Mt. q
written by Seymour Eaton Of Philadelphia mo.

..s 's Seymour YEN TALKS l.s On No
The who succeeds must fill his job SO full
that he huges out little at the top where people
can see him. The successful store must do the same
thing only in different way.
The goods must be on hand the prices be
right the service must be commendable the trading
must be square, the kind Of square that has four
equal sides and four right angles
Every successful store has its trademark whether
the merchant knows it not It's advertising and its
service have created public sentiment in its favor
which neither fire time ober-
ate. Nine times out Of ten this trademark is the
stores biggest asset.
Much of the ordinary store advertising is hand
to-mouth sort Of business; effort to make tomor-
rows sales equal to tcdays yesterdays; and this
is just true of the department store of the small
shop. The advertisement appears in the morning
and the merchant figures out the net results in the
evening 1t is true that the bargain advertisement
of today is Of little, if any, next week 1t is for
gotten in twenty four hours; but if the store makes
feature of Genuine bargains, then each bargain sale
helps to advertise the bargain department. The
advertising ought to be done in such way as to
permanently advertise the department as well as to
emphasize the bargains of the day.
Don't 60 at it if you were advertising an
auction SALE AS said at the outset your store is the
seed in the soil the advertising is the rain and the
sunshine inexperienced advertisers dig up the seed
every evening to it is growing pull up the
young plant by the roots because didn't bear fruit

It is safe to say that not more than thru of
the people looking for bargains; the other two
thirds looking for quality and style. The very fact
that the goods offered bargain prices leaves the
impression that there is something wrong with the
quality or that the style is behind. Good
advertising should enable merchant sell $40 coats
at SIS instead of SIS coats at $3.50 in other words
it should create confidence rather than doubt As in
stocks and bonds the securities quoted above par are
always desirable in the thought of the investing
public than those quoted at discount
Advertising is tremendous force which In action
contradicts all mechanical laws The circumference
and speed and working power increase, while the
motor remains the same.
Make your advertising continuous. This is the
first great secret of success Copy and medium and

VETERANS MET SUNDAY.
An Exc eptionalIy interesting Program
BY Young Women.

John II. Morgan camp held very
interesting session yesterday after
noon at the court house. Very little
business was transacted but the meet
ing was devoted to the rendition Of
a program of musical numbers which
had been arranged by Miss Stella
Carter.
Commander Sutherland was present
and presided, and Adiutant Pulliam
was at his accustomed desk. Com
rade Masters opened the session with
prayer. The minutes of the last
meeting were read and approved, and
there were no reports from standing
committees, except that the relief
committee reported that the sick
were all doing nicely.
Capt. Burnitt, who was loyal
worker in the camp, was given a
demit that he might join the camp
at Cleburne, Texas, TO which city he
has moved
The following numbers on the pro
gram were then heard.
Miss Flora Taylor responded with
a vocal solo, with Mrs. Daisy Maud
Webb-Hammonds at the piano. Mrs
Hammonds and Miss Freda Grunert
sang a duet, with Miss Julia Carter
at the piano. THIS number met with
generous applause Miss Grunert has
been living in Oklahoma City for
some time, and her presence in the
city was appreciated by the camp
Mrs. Hammonds favored the veterans
with solo, and her well-trained
voice delighted the audience. Miss
Marzette Frye sang Home, Sweet
Home" and as the piece was being
rendered the minds of the veter
ans were taken back to the old south
ern home, and there was genuine
appreciation marked on the faces Of
the old soldiers. The benediction was
said by Rev. ]. r. Masters.
