UPON BIG FRONT
HEAVY CASUALTIES SUFFERED
BY TEUToN FoRcEs-eER-
MAN ATTAc kFAlIS.

LONDON, June 30.-In a Russian
attack over front of twenty-five
miles, extending eastward from Kolo-
mea, in Galicia, the Austrians have
been compelled to retire on part OF
the front in the region of Kolomea
and southwark. The Austrians valiant
ly attempted to hold back the oncom-
ing Russians, but according to Vienna
Emperor Francis Joseph's warriors
finally we're compelled to give way be-
fore superior forces.
In hits fighting and also in battles
near Kuty, in Bukowina, the Austrians
suffered heavy casualties In addition
221 officers and 1925 men were taken
prisoner and heavy guns, machine
guns and stores were lost The Rus
sian successes in this region seeming
ly gives them almost free access to
Carpathian passes and to the railway
line running northwest from Kolomea
to Lemberg, the capital of Galician.
On the central part of the Russian
front in Volhynia, the violent battles
around Linewka and in the region of
Sokul continue undated. Father
north the Germans have followed
heavy bombardments of various posi-
lions with infantry attacks, which
Petrograd says we're all repulsed.

SCHOOL CENSUS TO
Be TAKEN DUR| C
THE COMING MONTH
ENuMERAToRS WILL GET BUSY
SHORTLY AFTER THE
FIRST.
BASIS FOR The DISTRIBUTION
State Funds Are Pro-rated To The
Several Counties According to the
Scholastic PopuIation-Sykee orman
City Enumerator.

Taking Of the scholastic census Of
the county will begin next week. The
census is taken as Of June 80, but it
j snot expected that the enumerators
will get busy until some time during
next week. The census will be taken
in Columbia by Sykes Orman, who has
SO efficiently performed this duty for
several years past.
1t will be taken in the various dis
tricts of the county by enumerators
named by the county board of educa-
ton and will probably be completed
With ma few days. Little change in
the totals from last year are expected.
In the enumeration every child be-
tween the ages of six years and twen-
ty-one is included, although very few
over eighteen years of age ever attend
the public schools. For several years
an effort has been made to change the
school age to more nearly conform TO
actual practice, but these efforts have
been unavailing.
The census Of the different districts
of the county now amounts to nothing
so far as school money is concerned
for the reason that all funds Of the
county are massed and one district
shares the same length Of term that
is given every other district. How
ever, it is necessary to have the census
because OF the distribution Of the state
funds. These are pro-rated among the
counties according to scholastic popu-
lation.

On The Vacant to the Business

The rapid fire guns of the Germans
are nothing compared with the rapidity
of the changing of real estate and 9th.
er property in Maury county. When
a piece of property gets to changing
hands in Maury county it seldom stops
until 1t has made several transfers,
but the latest and the quickest changes
on record was the sale Of the ]. Madi-
son Sheppard property in West End
to Mrs. R. G. Bates, and from Mrs.
Bates to w. d. Tucker & Co.
Mr.. Sheppard sold the store house
in which w. D. Tucker & Co. have
been conducting grocery business for
several years, to Mrs. R. G. Bates
Thursday afternoon, but the deal was
not finally closed until Friday morn
ing The deeds had not hardly been
registered until Mrs. Bates sold the
to w. ID. Tucker g Co. The
price paid by Messrs. Wallace and
Conner Tucker was $2,4O0.
Mr.. Tucker stated to a Herald re-
porter Friday that for the present they
would only make some improvements
on the present store house, but that
they hoped to erect a modern up-to-
date store building later. On vacant
lot between the store house and DR..
Harrison, Mr. Tucker will probably
erect a modern dwelling house, and
will possibly occupy same.

Columbia building. Commissioner
Parker stated that he had heard much
of the high school building since 1t

tion through Prof. Jones Of the Middle
Tennessee Normal, and was sure that
all the good things that Prof. Jones
had said of the school building and
the school were more than merited.

the vicious treating habit would auto

ARMY OF 100000
That Is the Answer to the
Mexican Situation
In the Opinion of One Who Has
Lived in Mexico.

THE best thing the government can
do in case of an invasion of Mexico is
to call for 500,000 volunteers" said ].
]. Dargitz today in an interview with
a State Journal reporter. "Carranza
is absolutely unable to control the sit
uation, and in the event of war with
the United States would join with the
other Mexican factions" said Mr.. Oar
gitz.
Mr.. Dargitz returned from Mexico,
where he has an interest in a mine, in
September. He was born and reared
in Topeka, and lives at 317 Fillmore
street. His property is located in the
state of Guerrero, on the western
coast of the southern republic. He
expects to return to Mexico in May
if possible.

4uently," said Mr.. Dargitz( land it is
the unanimous opinion of my inform
ants that Carranza is absolutely I'M
able to take charge of the country.
General Zapata is in control of the
states of Guerrero and Michoacan on
the west coast, where General Jesus
Salgado is operating, and Zapata can
import all the supplies and munitions
necessary from Japan and other coun-
tries.
IF there is a war between the Unit
ed States and Mexico" continued Mr..
Dargitz, Il will go, not as a soldier
Dul as d guide MT DarSltZ knows
the western part of Mexico thorough
ly as he has been there for a number
of years. He claims to have fought
both against and for Generals Zapata
and Salgado. ''It would not be safe
for me to go back there said Mr..
Dargitz, because I was the one who
killed a nephew of General Salgado."
Mr.. Dargitz is ready to serve the
country in the capacity of a guide.
While his home is in Topeka he has
spent so much time in Mexico in the
the past few years that he knows the
territory all along the western part OF
the country. His headquarters while
in that country are at Tlacotepec

Governor Capper spent a DAY anu d

the warden and numerous department
heads. When he returned 10 IoPeAt
he issued a statement TO the eIIecl
that the prison was conceded 70 NC ~
better condition than at any time IN
the past. The governor declared that
the prison would this year snow say

in an increase in the years earnings:

In commenting on ideal conditions, the
governors own paper today stated:
THE warden is faithfully observing
the civil service law. Out of SO men
on the payroll, only seven have been
removed and in each case there was
good cause for removal. Warden Cod

In spite O. Warden Codding's glow
ing admissions of efficiency and strict
regard for civil service, the records
of the civil service commission fail to
show that Warden Codding has sue
cessfully defended a contested case
regarding the discharge of employees.
Last week the Myers case was called
before the civil service commission.
Myers claimed he had been discharged
in violation of civil services rules and
regulations. In the midst of the hear
ing, Warden Codding admitted defeat
and asked that the case might be dis
missed and Myers restored to the
service. When Myers declined to re-
turn to the penitentiary under the
Codding rule, the civil service COM
mission agreed to a transfer to the
state reformatory at Hutchinson.
