LONDON, August 13.-Ficld Marshal
Won liindenburg. upon whom the most
di'ilcult tasks are imposed. has per-
sonally taken command of the German
army attacking Kovno. and Tonight
mas made further progress in the fight
ing against the Russians i'm that re-
Gion. says to-nishts German official
statement
The selection OF Gcrmauy's national
nero for the duty Of capturing the for
tresS of kovno. which stands between
the Germans and Villa and the Warsaw
letrogrhd railway, is an indication of
the Importance which the German gem
eral staff attaches to this operation
RUSSIANS FIGHTING TO
HOLD ROTH POINTS
The news that the civilian population
had commenced TO cvacuate Kovno as
well as Villa led many TO believe that
the Russians either had decided to give
them up or had no hope OF holding
these points. Now, however. they are
fighting hard to retain both cities. and
Petrograd's latest official report claims
that the Russians have repulsed the
German attacks. except at one point.
where Il desperate artillery engagement
IS in progress Farther north. be-
tween Foniewesch and Dvinsk. where
General Won Buelow ii week ago was
advancing rapidly toward the railway,
the Germans apparently have suffered
il setback. for the Russians now speak
of pressing them. and declare they have
reoccupicd the town OF Toviny, con-
siderahly west OF the point TO which
the Germans had penetrated.
South OF Riga also the Germans are
said to he doing little more than hold
ing their own. so that the tulked-of adj
vance toward petrograd seems to be
developing very slowly.
On the other hand, the Germans con-
tuuc to drive in the Russians to the
northeast and east OF Warsaw and
with the capture OF Siedlce are within
4 short distance OF the Bug River. one
OF the supports of the Brest -Litovsk
line. which il was believed the Rus
slams originally intended to hold, but
which the German offensive may pre-
vent.
The military critics disagree as to
the probable line on which Grand Duke
Nicholas will elect to make his stand
but "a majority of them consider it
hardly likely that he will try to hold
the Brest- -Litovsli front.
GERMAN CROWN PRINCE
CONTINUES HIS ATTEMPTS
The German Crown Prince continues
his attempts TO pierce the French line
IN the ArSonne forest. He has had
few local successes. but is declared also
to have suffered very heavy losses.
The Germans also have attacked in
ArtoirS, hat without success, the
French claim.

BABIES, IF GIVEN HALF A CHANCE
WILL KEEP IN GOOD HEALTH

If the baby is given even half a
chance he is likely to keep in good
health. If mothers would give their
infants every possible chance the in
fant mortality would be cut down to
almost nothing.
This is comparatively simple if the
mother will only adopt certain preven-
tive methods.
There are many dont's, but here are
some things a mother ought to do:
Do feed the baby regularly. This is
of prime Importance to its health.
Do protect your baby from igno-
rant midwives and nursemaids. Call in
a good doctor if you want to know
something about the baby quickly.
Do keep the baby's thumb out of
his mouth. Don't let that habit start
1t may deform his mouth for life.
Do be sure that you get only fresh

RETRIAL OF GUN
CASE ON TODAY

For the second time in less than 4
year L. s. CUM, convicted six months
ago on a grand larceny charge, is
facing a jury in the superior court
with a six months term in the state
prison at San Quentin and n reversal
of his case behind him. CUM looks
almost the same as he did at his first
conviction. He is a little heavier, if
anything. and the worried look has
faded from his face.
At the adjournment of court this
morning ten jurors had been select
ed from the talesmen examined. A
special vcnire of ten had been called
and with the selection of the remain
ing two jurors the first evidence in
the case will be introduced.
Attorney Wilson for the defense
this morning exercised seven chal-
lenges and Deputy District Attorney
F. r. Simon one, when one juror
said Cuin had already served six
months in the penitentiary and he be-
lieved the state ought to let him alone.
The first witness to take the stand
after the jury box is filled will be j..
II. hammers, the owner of the COW
Cuin is alleged to have stolen.
Several sensations promise to de-
yelop during the course of the trial.
New angles have been discovered and
new evidence will be introduced.
Another feature of the case will be
the testimony of Mrs. Walter Elliott,
a prisoner at the county Jail on a
charge of Staying her husband.
Superior Judge Willis of Los An
geles is hearing the case in the local
court.

After session g .loting Friday
and Saturday which both came to
naught, no decisive action had been
taken by the board of supervisors in
the selection of a sheriff up to 3
o'clock this afternoon, although the
meeting was scheduled for l o'clock.
Conferences, in which various men,
bers and at times almost the whole
board participated, occupied the day
since l o'clock.
Rumors concerning many the
candidates were current and the court
house has been agog with extended
discussion of the various reports.
If there have been any important
changes there has been no intimation
by the board to indicate that anything
unusual has taken place.
One runner had it that Supervisor
Boyee had withdrawn his candidacy
A second report was under way that
Undersheriff Anderson had similarly
withdrawn and another that a dark
horse as a selection for sheriff. was
to be sprung rs a complete surprise
by the board.
Attachments have been practically
at a standstill since the death OF the
late sheriff. With the death of that
official his bond is revoked and at
torneys have not cared to entrust the
matter to the sheriff's office until
some definite arrangement has been
made.
Civil papers, too, are being delayed

There are about 500 employees at

On his vast estate, to which he is
continually adding, Rockefeller has

quantities of farm produce, which is

But the beauties of the wonderful roll

completely shut away from the public
by the famous high fence topped with
triple strands of barbed wire. At all

Again Discuss
Appointment Of Sheriff

in the filing by attorneys who are
holding them until the selection is
disposed of.
1t is probable that with the set
tlement of the problem by the board
the chosen candidate will qualify at
once, although at least ten days must
elapse before a surety bond can be
arranged.
The suggestion was made this aft
ernoon that the sheriff, Immediately
after his appointment, can qualify on
a personal bond and resume his duties
at once, while the surety bond can be
obtained later to relieve the personal
bond.
Lobbying and conferences between
the various members of the board is
playing about the part in today's ses-
sion that it did Saturday. Friends of
the various candidates were more in
evidence today that they have been
any day in the past and there is
larger crowd in the supervisors room
than there has been at any past
meeting.
The session this afternoon was
scheduled for l o'clock but between
comforting among themselves and
friends of the candidates the super
visors delayed the meeting more than
an hour
1t is probable that no action will
be taken today. At three o'clock mo-
ton was under way among some of
the board to adjourn without further
action until tomorrow morning.
