GERMAN REPORT ON
SLAv OFFENSIVE
by Carl W. ,ekernan

H'auHuAfteTh uI flsiu harsnal yon
Hindenburg's Army. Aug. i6- The
worst Of the Russian offensive is
over" one OF the highest command
Ing officers on the eastern front told
the United Press today after "a tour
OF inspection Of the Austro-ficrman
lines.
Completely halted al the Stoehod
river in their efforts TO re-take Koyel.
the Russians. undaunted by this fan
ure, have shifted their attacks south
ward, always striking against the Aus
trlans.
The temporary successes OF the
Russians In the southeast is desperate
STRATEGY" said a German officer, be
cause the faster they advance with
their left wing In the southeast. the
more they weaken the position OF
their right wing along the stochod. +"
II Is admitted here that the Rus
SLAMS caught the Austrians by surprise
at the beginning OF the offensive.
Aeroplanes reported Russian troops
massing behind the Russian front.
but no one believed the SIavs as
strong as they have been discovered
20 be. The Russian tactics kept the
Austrians guessing for several weeks.
but the whole Austro. German front
\ Is reorganlzed and the earlier Rus
sian advantages are being overcome.
The fall Of staislau and Goritz were
limited unpleasant, but viewed stra-
itegicaily have different meaning ac-
cording TO German military men.
These reserves are completely out
weighed by the slav failure TO reach
Kovel and Lemberg. The Germans
marvel thar they did not succeed In
fview OF the giganlc English and
French blows. but at the critical mo-
ment. German-troops arrived and stiff
fened the lines east OF Kovel.
We blvouacked last night near the
front, where the Slavs on Aug. s, at
tempted a great offensive. walked
for two hours in the front line
trenches. watching German eleven
inch shells bombarding the Russians.
Major Won Scheller. formerly attache
Of the German embassy at Washing
ton. and Captain p. Behn. former Ger
man consul at Denver. explained the
lay OF the surrounding country. We
also visited the headquarters OF Gen.
eral Bernhardi. who Is commanding
an army on this front but he was
suffering from influenza and unable
to receive Us.
The night scene at the front was
entrancing. The sky was lighted by
countless great fires above which the
companies were encamped within a
few hundred yards OF the Russian
positions. The hands played and the
soldiers sang. Not a single cannon
was fired. There Is a nightly truce.
The Slavs occasionally shoot light
cartridges to illuminate the fields
between the trenches and prevent a
surprise attack.
1 Far on In the distance an Austrian
battery was pounding the Russian
railroads.
The new armies on this front are
lcomposed OF Polish. German and Aus
tro-Hungarian troops. which. officers
said. illustrated the, new spirit of CON-
radshIp and is sure indication OF the
strength OF the central powers.

Sixteen days we're required for the
Deutschland to cross the Atlantic on
her trip to Baltimore. Part of that
time she spent in lodging hostile
warships. Actually she could have
made the voyage In much shorter
time. The fact that IA days have
elapsed and she has not been heard
from. indicates that she has been
compelled to take roundabout
course ON the return also. to avoid
British and French warships. if she
has not met with a mishap. The
Deutschland is equipped with high
power wireless apparatus. but prob
ably would not communicate with a
German station while in British wat
ers, fearing detection and pursuit.

THE BETTER THE STORE THE BET
TER THE ADVERTISING PAYS. Your
own observations in the store-world will
confirm this truth.
y PUBLICITY is bad only for bad pro-
position. It is just as surely good for good
one.
What is "good store"i One that really
SERVES THE PUBLIC protecting its pa
irons as to VALUES, not merely as to
PRICES.
There are many stores in this city an
swering to that definition completely. In
every city there are always some stores that
do not.
An important phase of a GOOD STORES
SERVICE TO IT'S PATRONS is its news
paper advertising This should be complete,
frank. informing. 1t should tell the store
news as fully as good newspaper tells the
news of the day. o, x,
Perhaps the best possible NEW POLICY
for the GOOD stores of this city to adopt
would he that of DOUBLING THE All
VFRTISING SPACE THAT THEY USE
thus giving them ''elbow room giving
them bigger opportunities for telling their 4
patrons. in detail. about every selling event.
about every bargain offering, about every
dollars worth Of new stocks. 0f course,
even HALF ENOUGH ADVERTISING
noys thc really good store; but ABE

"SAFETY ALWAYS" CLOCK.
Motto ON Dial is Constant Reminder
to MachiniStS.

In many places the stock phrase
safety First" which has been uni
versally used during the last few
years in an attempt to minimize in
dustrial accidents, is coming to be
supplanted by the term Safety AL
ways which is even more signifi-
cant than the predecessor A large
manufacturing company, going on
the theory that the psychology of i'm
preston is worthy of recognition, has
placed in it's plant a Safety Always
clock. The dial of this bears the let
ters of the two words in lieu Of the
usual figures. 1t is assumed the
average workman looks at clock
frequently during the course of a
day and that this motto will make
him constantly cautious.-Popular

INDIAN SPEECH.
How the Government is Preserving
Red Mems Language.

Red Mems Language.
We are already beginning to regret
that no photographic records could
have been made of the voices of great
singers of the last generation, says
Popular Science Monthly, while we
shall be handing down our Carusos
and Melbas to those who come long
after us. Not long ago the depart
ment of the interior in Washington
awoke to the fact that there was
something else to be preserved for
the future, namely the speech and
war songs of our native Indians. The
new generation of Carlisle-bred chiefs
do not take the ancient rituals very
seriously, and it is probable that af-
ter the Oldest of the living warriors
have died, the Indian war songs will
be practically forgotten.
1t was the feeling which prompted
the government to make the phono-
graphic records of the voices of the
greatest of the living chiefs for the
files of the nation. For some time
past, now, these warriors on their
periodic visits to Washington have
recorded on the phonograph their
songs and their legends for the files

The loss to the Augusta Chronicle
will total more than s180,000. The
handsome new 1O-story home has
been practically destroyed. All the
woodwork has been burned out and
the structure presents the appearance
of brick kiln after the fire has died
away.
The flames from this building,
shooting more than 200 feet into the
air last night presented a lurid scene
to the visitor entering Augusta. The
Empire Life building, an 18-story
structure, has been damaged to the
extent of about 100000.
Prominent Augustans said today
that rebuilding operations are to be-
gin at once.
Coffee was much sought beverage
this morning. Thousands Of Angus
tans after an all night vigil flocked
to- the cafes and there was also a
great demand for sandwiches. 1t
was impossible to secure milk.
Today thousands of people viewed
the ruins of the houses destroyed last
night.
Sudden-Almost Impossible.
"It was all so sudden,' said a
spectator, "and it did not seem pos
sible." A high wind was blowing
from the west. Once the Dyer build
ing was af1ame, burning brands were
sent flying in all directions. House
after house fared up and disappeared
as if by magic. The fire was no re-
spector of brick houses. They seem
ed to crumble away like snow houses
under the rays of the sun. Many of
the finest houses in Augusta have
been destroyed and the loss will run
in to the millions. The dying out of
the wind was the only thing that
saved the entire town from destruc-
ton.
There were many unusual features
to the fire last night. One we'll known
Augustan, seeing that his home was
doomed, removed several thousand
dollars worth of cut glass, silverware
and jewelry to a relatives home sew
eral blocks away. On swept the
flames, finally destroying the ar
ticles.
Augusta professional men began
a serious hunt today for Offices. More
than 400 lawyers, real estate dealers,
doctors and others found themselves
without a place of business.
The Southern railway freight de-
pot, although in the path of the fire,
escaped without injury.
Among the Columbians to make
the trip to Augusta last night was
Col. O. K. LaRoque, private secretary
to Gov. Manning. Col. LaRoque was
for many years chief Of the Marion
fire department. He was placed IN
charge of a Columbia squad and !
worked hard throughout the night to
stop the ravages of the flames.
The best of order has prevailed in
Augusta during the disaster. All OF
the near-beer saloons have been
closed and few arrests have been
made by the police.
