SOME HORSE, THIS.
Shot a Rifle, Then Grabbed Sword
and Charged Germans.

London, May 21.-The British sense
of humor has begun to trickle in from
the trenches and battlefields.
One Tommy had told how horse
picked up his fallen rider with his
mouth and carried him to safety. The
story reached the trenches and an
other Tommy having read it wrote
the following:
"I should like to add a few words
further to enchance this noble steed's
deeds on that memorable day.
ct was during the retreat from
Mons that I saw this happen:
after the horse had saved its rider
we were hard pressed, when this noble
steed again showed his pluck. He
picked up loaded rifle, and, holding
it between his fore feet, he worked
the bolt and pulled the trigger with
his tongue, thus keeping about thirty
Germans at bay After this bold
horse had expended all the ammuni-
ton in the rifle he drew the sword
(Which was in the saddle at his back)
with his teeth and CALAMITY charged
the few Germans who still remained
alive.
81 might mention that before we
went to the front this horse used to
throw his rider and then trot to the
guardroom and fetch the stretcher."

WAR EVENTS
SUMMARIZED

The parliaments Of Serbia and
Greece met today and important
developments in the Balkan situa-
tion are expected. Capitals of the
entente allies hope for a speedy
agreement among the Balkan pow
ers, by which their concerted aid
may be given the allied cause, but
predictions Of quick action to this
end are lacking. Observers Of the
trend of diplomatic interchanges
recognize many difficulties, in
view of the reluctance of Serbia
and Greece to grant the territorial
claims Of Bulgaria.
Military activity Is increasing
along the Austro-Serbian frontier.
Exchanges of artillery fire at Bel.
grade have been followed by
Serbian bombardment of defenses
before the village OF Dobra on the
Danube. Heavy concentration of
Teutonic forces on the edge of the
Balkan region Is reported.
A German submarine has sunk
the Norwegian steamer Albis,
1881 ton vessel. The crew
escaped.
Advances recorded in the Ger
man official statement today rep
resent further closing in by
Teutonic troops on the fortress of
Brest-Litovski. the stronghold of
the new Russian line of defense.
Prince Leopold Of Bavaria, who
yesterday reported defeat Of the
Russians near Losyce, nineteen
miles east of siedlce, which the
Germans took late last week. to-
day occupied Losyce and Mied
zyrzec, the latter place about
twenty-five miles in a southwest
erly direction from Siedlce. Al
forwards the Russians were beat
en- in stand east of Losyce and
were pursued, the Berlin report
says These operations are with
in forty miles Of Brest-Litovsk.
Still closer to the fortress are
the armies of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, which on Saturday
were reported within forty miles
OF the stronghold. Since they
have advanced northward in pur-
suit Of the Russians, marching
along both banks Of the Bug.
Other successes are reported
for the Germans between the
Narew and the Bug, together with
the capture of an advanced posi-
ton at the fortress of Kovno and
the taking in these sectors Of
nearly seven thousand Russia
prisoners.
Despite German successes, Pet
rograd military observers do not
take a pessimistic view of the
situation, looking for determined
stand by the Russians as their
new line is reached.

CREATION OF RESERVE FORCE TO

reserve force would stop a wasteful
leak In our army administration.

PASTORS LEARN
TO SHOW MOVIES
METHODIST MINISTER'S HAVE
SCHOOL IN OPERATION OF
FILM MACHINE.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Instruction. in the
operation of a moving picture machine
will be given ministers attending the
Methodist camp meeting which opens
at New Lenox, ILL.,, next Thursday, ac-
cording to the program announced to.
day.
The instructor will be the Rev. Jas.
OMay, pastor of church in Aurora,
ILL., The program announces that
"Rev. O'May is pastor Of church
that seats more than 1000 persons and
has successfully solved the Sunday
evening problem"
Demonstrations will be given Of how
to operate the machine, how to install
one and how to make proper selection
of pictures through film exchanges.
Moving pictures have been used
with much success in keeping up the
attendance in many churches, it was
said But preachers have been unable
to exhibit them because Of the lack Of
technical knowledge regarding the op-
Grafton of the machine, and operators
are too expensive an asset for the
small church.
For that reason the establishment of
a movie school, was decided on.

not go back to Cornish before Sept. /.
