Christian county at supper at the
Hotel Latham, after which they ad-
journed to Virginia Park to hear a
number of short talks. The whole
day was series of Inequalities which
the men from Jefferson county and
the eastern end of the State always
will remember with infinite pleasure.
1t is sure to mean that the Bluegrass
and the "Pennyrile" will get closer
together in the near future to the
benefit of both. The careful organ
ization which made possible day of
touring in more than 100 machines
without an accident or an unpleasant
event was perfected through the
many committees of the Christian
County Crop Improvement Associa-
ton and the Hopkinsville Business
Mems Club.
A story of the reception at Hop.
kinsville would not be complete with
out saying something about the rea.
son why Christian county called the
day Morgan day." The name thus
given was a fitting tribute to the
work which Godfrey Morgan did as
county agent of Christian county,
and also he was the man who had
the inspiration which eliminated in
the trip. The jefferson county
group has been talking seriously of
asking Louisville and jefferson coun.
ty to cooperate with some Bluegrass
county in inviting the farmers of
the West to come to the East and
see what they are doing. The party
feels that the good accomplished by
the trip will be lasting and that the
lasting quality can be doubled by
asking the "Pennyrile" to come
East. Big things are happening ir
the old State and nothing could pos
sibly be bigger and better or fine
than to establish a custom of yearl,
visits so that the farmers everywher
may know what the other fellow i
doing and how he is doing it,"

PrzemySl Falls and Russians
Liable To Be Driven Out
Of Lemberg.
ALLIES ASSAULT TUETON LINE
Large German Transport Sunk
by British Submarien in
DardanelleS.

London, June 4.-With the cap
ture of Przemysl, accomplished. the
Austro. German armies achieved the
main object of the great thrust they
commenced against the Russians in
western Galicia month ago.
They have yet to drive the Rus
SLAMS farther back and establish
themselves in easily defended posi-
tions which will enable them to de-
tach forces for operations against
Italy and the allies in the west.
Whether or not they accomplish
this, the Teutonic allies have won a
great victory and with a suddenness
which overshadows all past opera
tons of the war. 1t was only ten
weeks ago that Przemysl fell to the
Russians, after six months invest
ment, which was interrupted for a
short time in November by an Aus
trian advance.
With the surrender of the fortress
there fell into the Russians hands.
according to official reports, 12O, 900
Austrians and 600 guns and an i'm
mense amount of war material.
Most of the forts, however, had been
destroyed by the Austrians and this
is considered in military circles here
to account for the fact that the
fortress succumbed so quickly to the
lAustro. German attack.
! When the Russians captured Pre-
: mysl, they we're pressing the Aus
trians across the Carpathian passes,
Then on May 8, came the news Of
great Austro-Germln drive into
Galicis. Advancing slowly butsure-
! ly and carrying 1000 guns. the Tue
tons compelled the Russians to fall
back until the Russian line ran to
the right bank of the river San.
lCrossing the river, the Austro-Ger-
man forces progressed to the north
and south of the fortress. and on
! Tuesday, Berlin announced that
three forts to the north had beS5l
stormed. while Vienna stated that
the railway between Przemysl and
Lemberg was commanded by Aus
trian guns.
There still was hope in the allied
countries, however, that a Russian
counter.offensive would hold the in
vaders off, but this proved unfound-
ed, and today the Russians had to
give up the city which. earlier in the
war, had cost them so dearly to win,
There is no estimate of booty cap
tured but it is fairly certain that the
Russians, having lots of time, got
away as many men and as much ma
terial as possible and destroyed the
guns and ammunition that remained.
1t is expected here that the victors
will endeavar to push on to Lemberg
and even farther.
Meanwhile the French continue
their operations north of Arras,
where it is declared they are slowly
moving the Germans out of strongly
fortified positions. The British, on
their part, have become more active
in the regions of Ypres and La Basse
while the Italians continue to report
the capture of important positions
along their frontier. In this latter
region, however, no news has yet
been received of any big battle.
Another submarine has penetrated
the Dardanelles and sunk a large
German transport,

SELMA

Selma, August 7-(Special. 1.-The big ce-
ment bridge which will span Oldtown
creek between Dallas and Lowndes county
will be completed during the week.
Shortly after the completion of this bridge
and it's being opened to the public there
will be two good roads from Selma to
Montgomery. Following the completion
of this bridge there will be a gap of about
seven miles of good roads to be built and
which 1t is expected will be completed
during the next month or two.
With the completion of the gap of good
roads on the Dallas county line, Dallas
will have one of the finest systems Of
good roads of any county within the state
and which radate from Selma in every
direction throughout the county. In con.
nection with the Dallas county system O:
good roads, Perry county is at present en-
gagged in the building of a road which will
connect on the west side of the county
and which will give the residents of that
county first class highway into Selma.
The institute for the colored teachers OF
Dallas county, which has been in session
at the Clarke school on Lawrence street
during the week, finally adjourned Sat-
urday morning. During the week nearly
200 of the negro school teachers were In
attendance at the different sessions and
large amount of work was accom-
plished. The institute was one of the most
successful ever held in the county. q
The body of Gus Bracey, a negro deck
hand on the river boat Peerless. was
picked up in the Alabama river Friday.
Early Friday morning as the Peerless
was returned to Selma after a fruitless
attempt to reach Montgomery, the boa
ran aground on sandbar above the civ
and great hole was torn in the hull.
The Jar threw the negro from the boat
and he drowned before help could reach
him. Ship carpenters and divers came
to Selma from Mobile and the Peerless
left for Mobile Thursday afternoon.
When Mr.. Boutwell, went up the Ala
oama river Friday morning on a fishing
trip he found the body of the negro roust-
about floating down stream. Mr. Bout
well caught the body and brought it ba ~
to Selma and the boat authorities in Mo-
Lille were notified of its recovery.

IS WASTED IN
HUGE QUANTITIES

London, July 0.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press.)- report that the
British soldier uses bread to clean his
boots with has caused an officer attached
to the quartermas ter-generaPs staff to
make statement in the Times regarding
the wastage of food in the army, which
he thinks is no more to blame in this
respect than the civil population.
There is no doubt" says the officer,
that where a very large number of men
are assembled together under military
conditions the appearance of waste will
be more striking than family waste In a
civil community"
He then admits that the wastage of
food, particularly of bread is character
istic of the army, since it is the vice of
large section of the British popuiace.
Some waste is inevitable in the army
but 1T can be reduced to a minimum if
the officers of a regiment give the food
problem the same attention they give to
the training of the men in the field
Avodable waste is usually coupled witt,
complaints of deficiency of food. But no
small cause is the fastidious taste of
the men of the new armies, who come IN
large part from nice homes and are not
used to the coarse fare of the camp. The
serving of food also often involves waste,
as when all the meat is cooked and
served at once, and the scrap ends
bone that might have been cut out and
made into soups and stews are sent to
the table and thrown away.
The modified home ration of the army
gives a soldier pound of meat a pound
of bread, two ounces of bacon and sea-
sonngs with cash allowance of II cents a
DAY to buy extras with. In the expedi-
tionary forces the allowance of food is
greater including a quarter of a pound
of bread extra and jam and cheese, but
lately these additional items have been
eliminated in most parts of the line and
the cash sum of II cents substituted just
as in the home ration.
AS some $4,000 army cooks are required,
and the facilities for training cooks were
at first limited, the mess was badly
handled for time In the new regiments.
But this drawback has been overcome.
The officer tells of seeing a score OF
large leaves floating down river near
a camp in Salisbury Plain, and found
the men had thrown the bread away
because of the food brought them by
friends and relatives.

THIS AMERICAN WOMAN'S HELP
SOUGHT BY BRITISH WAR OFFICE

consider that he was up against
clever daughter of the Stars and
Stripes.
This affair, which happened at Folke-
stone in the summer of 1913, arose out
CT dog fight. Or rather out of an ex-
hibition of "frightfulness" on the part
of a big dog toward a little one. The
little dog, a Japanese one, belonged and
still belongs to Mrs. Turnbu1l. The ca

local big wig. 1t was a mastif and,

mastiff by the tail land twisted that
member with such science and force
that the big brute fastened to relin

The latter having been badly mauled,
Mrs. Turnbull brought suit for damages.
The owner of the mastiff defended tue

Of law, elected to be her own lawyer,
and from the accounts of the action sub

Here is a particularly bright little
passage The mastiffs owner had al

Turnbulls toy had enraged his dog by
swapping at him. (Which would have

WOOL SITUATIONS
INTERESTING ONE

London, June 20-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press 1.-The wool situation
at Bradford is an interesting one from
the American standpoint. Labor for
combing wool there has been depleted to
such an extent that the wool men have
not only raised the question of the desra-
bilty of importing tops from America,
but also the idea of shipping wool To
America to be combed there and sent back
here. The suggestion is also made that
the difficulties might be met by bringing
men back from the front to work the
combing machines.
All the tops required by the English
trade could be brought from Australia,
but the latter supply seems to be going
to Japan, and as the difference in time
of transit is so great, the desirability of
treating with America is apparent
Heaps of wool are available. but few
combs to work it with leaves the price
at very high level.
\ Bradford paper reports that the
board of trade has signied its intention
of allowing 100000 pounds of Scotch
Blackfaced out of the new clip to be ex-
ported to the United States. but no con-
firmation could be obtained from the
board of trade or the war office on the
subject.
The fifth series of colonial wool sales
commencing June 49, with 10000 bales
available, representing a value of about
94,5OO0oO, will probably be prolonged until
| July 81. Owing to the chaotic conditions
at the warehouses and on the railways.
| selling brokers have agreed to restrict
daily offerings to 5000 bales, that being the
| quantity which can be conveniently
| handled.
| Very little wool has changed hands since
| the last auctions but the market expects
! small advance in the price of merino
wool of good combing quality, and about
| unchanged rates for crossbreds, as the
ders for khaki at present.
