WAR NEWS,

In the Russian drive in Galaca last
Thursday and Friday the army of General
Letchitsky took 4,574 Austro- Hungarian
prisoners, four guns and thirty machine
guns. The total number of prisoners taken
by the Russians from June 4th to June Both,
inclusive, amounts to 217, 900 men.
A tremendous British offensive was
launched at 1880 last Saturday morning
over front extending twenty miles north
Of the Somme. The assault was preceded
by terrific commandment. The British
troops soon occupied the German front line
and captured many prisoners, making
gains in days fighting surprising those
of the Germans at Verdun.
simultaneously with the launching of the
British offensive, French infantry advanc-
ed to the attack over section of the French
line adjoining the junction point with the
British front.
More than 100000 shells are declared
to have been fired daily in the preliminary
bombardment, which extended over a front
ninety miles in length.
The Belgians, who had taken over anoth-
er stretch of the front, kept up during the
two days battle bombardment which
equaed that of the British guns.
The marked successes won by the British
and French in initiating their great often
sive along the Western front are being
Systematically and successfully followed
up.
Up to Tuesday the Anglo French cap
lures in the battle of the Somme total more
than $4,000 prisoners, twelve heavy guns
and twenty eight field guns. This booty
represents very satisfactory result Of a
little over three days fighting.
The Russians are successfully attacking
on the whole length of their front, their
cavalry raiding Hungary.
British troops fighting in German East
Africa have made a further advance in that
protectorate, was announced Tuesday.
Petrograd, July 5.-The Russians have
cut the Delatyn- Korosmero Railway, the
principal line of communications for the
Austro- German forces defending Lemberg
and have routed the enemy on the right
bank Of the Dniester, according to an Of
fetal statement.
London, July 5, 1921 p. m.-The French
continue to make more progress than the
British on the Western front, owing partly
to the more difficult ground facing the Brit
ish, and stronger forces opposing them.
The German losses in the battle of the
Somme thus far are approximately 10000

Lake Charles American Press: Every
year as soon as the city schools are dis
missed, the war on the bird inhabitants Of
Lake Charles by small boys armed with air
rifles and NEGRO shooters' begins. This
spring is no exceptionto the rule; boys are
roaming the streets, the lake bank and the
parked spaces of the city, shooting at every
small bird that can be seen in the trees. 1t
is useless to appeal to the boys themselves;
most of them are entirely ruthless and have
no conception Of the actual injury they are
inflicting on the community as we'll as the
risk of injnring people on the streets and
in their homes by the use of these weapons.
Ordinary common sense should lead parents
to keep them disarmed until their destruc-
tive bent is suppressed.

Malachi,

For am the Lord, change not.-3, 6.
Behold, will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dread
full day of the Lord.-4, 5.
Then they that feared the Lord spake
often one to another: and the Lord bark
ened, and heard its, Is.
For the priests lips should keep knowl-
edge, and they should seek the law at his
mouth for he is the messenger of the Lord
of hosts.-2, 7.
For behold, the day cometh, that shall
burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea,
and all that do wicked, shall be stubble
and the day that cometh shall burn them
up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall
leave them neither root nor branch.-4, l.
Your words have been stout against me,
saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we
spoken so much against thee? Ye have
said, 1t is vain to serve God: and what
profit is it that we have kept his ordinance,
and that we have walked mournfuly be-
fore the Lord of hosts?-3, 1914.
Ye are cursed with curse: for we have
robbed me, even this whole nation Bring
We all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine house, and
prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of
hosts, if will not open you the windows OF
heaven, and pour you out blessing, that
there shall not be room enough to receive
it's, $40.

American Magazines: There are more
than a million jobs in America closed to
the man who drinks alcoholic liquors. This
means that not only the employee shall not
drink while on duty, but that he shall keep
clear of all public drinking places while off
duty. Leaders in this accommodation of
John Barleycorn" are the American rail-
roads, which generally have adopted Rule
G, the mightiest blow yet delivered at al
cohol industry. But the railroads are not
standing alone. Other great industries
have come to see that alcohol makes only
for accidents, inefficiency and waste.
Workmen's Compensation Laws in many
States have helped to open mems eyes,
and business common sense is keeping
them open.

GA woman fainted''-and the band
played on, and the men in khaki marched
away. Tne woman was carried into the
nearest drug store. Presently she went
home-to fight it out alone-without any
glory.-,Shrereport Times.
During the SOS a beautiful poem on
1.-THE Unseen Battlefield" written by
Nathaniel P. Willis Gone of the editors of
the Home Journal Of New York; went the
rounds Of the newspapers of the country
We have often thought of the truth of the
poets words when witnessing the hard :
ships Of the women of the Confederacy
when Sherman, Sheridan and others
gIeefu.ly made "war hell" and burning
homes were 1.-The orders of the day." The
lady referred to in the above paragraph
''went home to fight it out-alone;" but
she had a home to go to, and in a land of
plenty. Not so with many Confederate
women, who were driven from their homes
and the torch applied to all they possessed.
Truly, those were the days that tried wom-
ems souls, and the greatest heroes, or
heroines, were those who fought on ''The
Unseen Battlefield

The Odious Liquor Traffic.

AS terrific rap as has been directed at
the liquor traffic at this session Of Congress
came from Senator James K. Vardaman of
Mississippi during the discussion of the
postoffice appropriation bill last Saturday.
81 am very much in favor of striking at
this nefarious traffic in any way that would
embarrass or hinder it, II we can not hit
it in the face, would shoot it in the back;
| would sand bag it, hamstringit. want
to do everything within my power to dis
courage, to condemn, to outlaw and render
odious the liquor traffic. 1t is responsible
for more murders, the preparation of more
outrages upon innocent virtuous women
it has made more widows, orphaned more
children, blighted more lives, frustrated
more ambitions, sent more men to Jail, has
done more to fill the hospitals with the sick
and the asylums with the insane-in word,
it has wrought more unhappiness and hor-
rible havoc among mankind than all the
other agencies Of evil combined. If had
my way, Mr.. President, | would close the
door of every saloon on earth. | would
restrict the manufacture and sale of alco-
holic stimulants to scientific and medicinal
purposes. | can not for the life of me un-
derstand how, with its record of wrongs, a
civilized Christian nation will permit this
social cancer-the open saloon-to continue
to eat into the very vitals of our civilza-
ton. TO permit the postal service to be
used as an agency for the promotion of this
wicked business is prostitution of be-
niticent function of our government which
the American people will not long tolerate. .

Louisiana Democrat: The person who
stands on the street corner looking around
for something to gossip about or to find
fault with, can always find what he is look
ing for. Bntwha life he lives. His soul
shrivel5 and withers until it is shown in his
manner and looks. For such person life
has lost its SAVIOR. 1t becomes sour, mis-
anthropic, whining. He passes from bad
to worse and sees no good in anybody.
