Damage Results in Prospective Loss
 of l.35O.OOO Rales.

Washington, August i.--Heavy damage to the growing cotton crop between June g and July 25. has caused reduction of I.350,00O bales in the prospective production. The August cotton report of the depart ment of agriculture, announced on Tuesday, indicated a production of f2.9i6000 equivalent 500-pound bales compared with i4,266000 bales forecast from the condition of the crop June 9. The condition during the month dropped 88 per cent to 72.3 of a normal
 Condition by states follow
 Virginia S7, North Carolina 70, South Carolina 65, Georgia 6S, Flo rida 62, Alabama 54. Mississippi 65, Louisiana v, Texas 78, Arkansas S5, Tennessee S2 Missouri 80 0klaho- ma 84, California 100.
 Reviewing cotton conditions for the month the bureau of crop esti- mates said
 The month ending July 28 has been only fair for cotton in most Of the belt west of the Mississippi river and in Tennessee and unfa- vorabIe east of the river and in Louisiana.
 Rains in the drouth stricken coastal region of Texas permitted the planting of a considerable late acreage The crop in the western belt is we'll cultivated and moisture conditions have been favorable, al- tho the need for rain is now begin ming to be felt.
 East of the Mississippi a severe tropical storm thru portions of Flo- rida, Alabama and Mississippi early in July and an extremely heavy downpour at mid-July in the Caro- linas. together with heavy and all most constant rains during July turnout the entire eastern belt have put the crop badly in the grass, leached out much of the already de- fieient amount of fertilizer and greatly facilitated the activity Of the boil weevil where present and it's continued spread The rains at the close of the period in the east ern belt were preventing much needed cultivation.

THE DEUTSCHLAND
 OUT OF BALTIMORE
The German Sub-Sea Merchantmen Sailed at $40 Tuesday Night Captain koenig Confident of Sue
 cess in Spite of Heavy Odds.

Baltimore. Aug. 1.-The German submarine merchantmen Deutsch- land set out from Baltimore on her return voyage to Germany at $40 p. m. today after a declaration of confidence from her commander, Captain Paul Koenig, that he would take her home in spite of the heavy odds that she would face when the three-mile limit in the Atlantic ocean is reached. The submersible IS expected to put into Newport News, Va, between 8 and 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 She carried cargo of crude rub Der and nickel and it is understood a consignment of gold.
 Thanked by vessels to guide her she turned her nose toward the eapes. where she may wait further before dashing to sea.
 The channel for a hundred yards or more had been dragged lest the submarine come to grief from hid den mines. The managers appar- ently feared that some of the pass ing allied ships had thrown such machines overheard, but the search showed nothing,

COTTON UP Sl.75 ON CROP REPORT
The Government Estimate of the Result of Damage a Surprise to Traders-Yield Only 72.3 Per
 Cent-Loss 1,35O,0O0 Bales.

New York. August IA sensa- tionally rapid advance of about Si.75 per bale followed the publication of tn governments crop report in the cotton market here this morning Just .before the official condition of 72.3 per cent against sf.i last month and the ten-yeaf average of 7S5 was published, a canvass of local ex- change members indicated an aver- age expectation of 76.5 per cent and the government report was also far below the most bullish recent private figures.
 Prices had shown tendency to ease off during the early trading as q result of more favorable weather and lower cables with December contracts selling down to 1928 but within ten minutes after the publi- cation of the report that month sold up to 1863 or 50 points above the low level of the morning and 2i points over last nights closing.

 Rome. COssack divisions, after the
 occupation of Brody. are said to

 The Germans are withdrawing from Kovel their heavy artillery, food and munition depots, says an

 The Russian drive on the eastern front IS attaining such momentum
 that 1t is threatening to wreck the entire TeutOnic defensive line south
 of the Pinsk marshes, according to unofficial reports thru Rome Tues day.
 petrograd dispatches on Monday night credited the Russians under
 General Kaledines with having crossed the river StOkhod in their advance toward Kovel. the key to the German positions.
 Berlin dispatches express confl- denee that the Teutonic resistance in the kovel region will withstand the Russian pressure. the new front to which the Germans and AustrIans have withdrawn west of the bend in the Stokhod being 25 miles shorter than the old one and considered far easier to defend.
 Turkish troops are arriving On the eastern front. presumably in readi- ness to be thrown into the counter- stroke against General Kaledines which General von Linsingen is planning

 ents-Carries Sli2.000.000

Washington, July 27-The sem ate this afternoon ordered aid for dependent families of national guardsmen and regulars on the bor- der. not to exceed $50 a month. as an amendment to the army bill
 The army appropriation bill car- rying Sll2.000,000, was passed by the Senate this afternoon without a record vote.

 The army bill follows closely the largest navy bill ever authorized by any nation -S5i5,000,000. The total of the two bills is S627 7,000,000, the worlds greatest peace time war bill Fights against both bills are ex- peeted in the House.

BRITISH FACE WOOD FAMINE.
If War Lasts Another Three Years Isles Will Be Denuded of Timber.

London, July 29.-Somuch timber is being used for the war, it IS said by advocates of a government scheme for reafforestation that if the war lasts another three years the British Isles will be entirely de- nuded of timber
 One feature of the situation is that some pre-war sources of SUD- ply are no longer available Fifty five per cent of timber imported in normal times came from Russia, Sweden and Germany, 4 per cent from Norway and 4i per cent from France, Portugal and Spain. Since the war this country has had to re- ly partly on supplies from Norway and Sweden and largely on French and Portuguese supplies.
 To maintain the supply the nation is making huge inroads into it's own standing timber There are only B million acres of wooded land in the United Kingdom at the present time

petrograd, July 30.-ProbabIy the bloodiest ground in all the history of the world war is that over which ftussian armies on Friday night were blasting and hurling their way onward into Galicia. Four times the tide of battle has swept over the northeast end of Galicia and Rus sian Poland.
 Battle front dispatches empha- sized a new strength of the Russian drive toward Lemberg. At least two enveloping movements are de- vel0ping power around KOvel and military authorities point out that with this Polish city occupied by the Russians---as they feel it will be within a week or more at present progress-the Austro-German front must retire on a line of at least 30 or 70 miles.
 Almost on the same meridian lies Lemberg, toward which city two Russian columns are thrustinr for ward from the newly taken Galician city of BrOdy

 Infantile Paralysis Warming.

LlttIe ROCK, July 26.-Ihe medi- cal department of the University of Arkansas has issued a circular on infantile paralysis in which it urges a renewed hostility on the mosquito. the fly and their breeding places The medical profession has not yet determined the cause of this dread disease, nor has a cure been dis covered. so the physieans recom- mend caution, and the best manner of being cautious is to keep flies away from infants, for it Is known that the disease is communicable, and flies are supposed to be the best agency for it's transmission. Cats are also given as excellent carriers and are to be avoided.

ON DEFENSIVE
 ON EVERY FRONT
Ieutenic Allies Facing Swarms of Enemies and Rush Reserves Into the Fray-Russians Are Clos
 ing in on Lemberg.

London, July 30.-Where two years ago Germany's millions poured over frontiers and smashed uncurbed toward their goals in France, Belgium and Russia, last night 1t was the Allies whose armies swarmed in assault everywhere against the German defense.
 At only one spot did statements from the capitals of all warning na- tions agree that the Germans are lighting offensively. That was around Verdun when artillery fight ing was proceeding.
 British in Fierce Fight.
 Along the British front the sector from Thiepval to LonguevaI was seeing the most bitter of all fight ing last night. The British attackt: the Germans counter attackt and d back and forth struggle waged until attack and counter attack were merged into one gigantic struggle of men and guns. General Haig re- ported continuing progress, Berlin claimed otherwise But details
 
 Petrograd reported astounding captures of men and munitions from the Austr0-G German forces in Poland and Galicia taken in big ad- yanees of the last few days.
 Paris detailed violent cannonades on the right bank of the Mouse. but reported nothing important else where.
 Germans Rush in Reserves.
 That the Germans are bringing up every man at their command to withstand the Allies thrust, and to this end are draining the reserves Tn Germany, is indicated by a dis patch from Berne, which states that the class of 1918. boys of IS and i9 years have been ordered out and are already arriving at concentra- ton points in Southern Germany.
 There have been numerous air battles the last twenty-four hours, with heavy casualties. General Hale tonight reports that three Ger man aeroplanes and q lite balloon have been destroyed The French report that as a result of thirty four air battles. five German ma ehlnes were forced to descend in a udDidkeu cOHuitlUil. Another was shot to earth. while in q third case French and German aeroplanes crashed together on high and the rival ayiators fell together to death. Berlin announces the destruction of one French machine.
 What Allies Have Gained.
 Four weeks of the Franco British offensive have witnessed a general advance of about five miles on a front of approximately twenty miles. The losses of the attacking troops are estimated at about fifty thousand to the mile. while German losses have also been great. More than 35,000 prisoners. 200 cannon and great numbers of machine guns and other weapons and stores have been captured by the allies.
