STRUGGLE:
On ALL FRONTS
IN EUROPE'S s WAR

Political developments IN the Bal
kans this afternoon overshadow even
important military operations told OF
in news dispatches. However, little
light is thrown on the situation. The
Russian campaign in Bukowina is be-
ing watched closely in connection with
the attitude Of Rumania, Teutonfc
sources of information declaring the
Flaws are being successfully held in that
sector. So far, the formidable Allied
strength in Macedonia has not been en-.
erted appreciably, but important de-
velopments there are expected mo-
mentarily.
In the west the British continue to
close in on Thiepval, on the Somme
front, and claim to have repulsed two
German counter attacks there during
Tuesday night.
Allied gains on two fronts with Ger
mans regaining some lost ground on
the third epitomizes today's war news
from Europe.
In an official statement issued at
Rome this morning, the Italians claim
to have carried strong Austrian posi-
tions in the Tofana area and near Ira
yenen in the Ose valley.
Petrograd says Turkish attempts to
take the offensive along the Armenian
Black Sea coast have been stopped, the
Turks being driven back inland with
the aid of the Russian feet.
The French admit the Germans have
gained footing in the trenches taken
~ them on Monday south of Etrees on
the Somme front, where heavy fighting
continues.
German news dispatches, the authen,
tioity of which are not established, say
tire Russians lost five thousand meD
from August 14th to 18th, inclusive, in
the fighting near Horodenka, in eastern
Galicia, and that at the same time the
German casualties totalled only eighty
The German admiralty has issued a
statement in which the claim is made
tl.at seventy-two allied cruisers and
battleships, with total tonnage Of
496,050 tons were sunk since the be-
ginning of the war to August 1st, and
that German naval losses only total
twenty-five ships of all classes with a
combined tonnage of 62,667 tons.

LARGE REWARDS
OFFERED IN THE
WADE CASE TODAY

Governor Nat E. Harris was urged
this morning to issue a proclamation
offering reward for the recovery oil
the body of Walter Wade, the promin-
ent young Leslie business man, who
las been strangely missing since
Thursday night.
1t is said that Walter Clopton, who is
related to young Wade, living near
Leslie, will offer a reward of $3.50 for
the body Of the missing man.
Over 5000 has been subscribed by
friends and relatives at Leslie, and ii
is not improbable that fully 81 900 will
have been accumulated in rewards be,
fore night.
All of these developments indicate
strongly that the friends and relatives
Of Wade, who know him best, believe
ti.at he is dead, and at the outside are
confident that some foul play has been
visited on him.
Inner Tube Found.
An inner tube for an automobile tire
was found late Tuesday afternoon on
the opposite side of the road near
Wallis Carter's home, where other
automobile accessories were found on
Sunday afternoon. The tube is said to
have had bloodstains on it, and is the
size and kind which Wade used on his
automobile.
As the night of his disappearance
passes further away, the possibility OF
him having left the city on visit for
some purpose or other, becomes more
remote. Nothing is known of him
since Thursday night about 10 o'clock
and from this point the authorities arc
working on a steady trend of events
and affairs which they believe may lead
to some startling developments, and
the disclosure of the young mans for
tune.
Not single clue or incident is be-
ing left without close scrutiny, and
with the gradual retirement OF public
comment on the case, the officers are
finding their work much easier. Dur
ing last night they were unrelenting in
their toll in an effort to throw more
light on the case.
Rewards May Turn Something
In the hope that the large amour:
OF rewards which are now being Sc
cured, it is hoped that something will
develop which will bring the penetrat
ing white light If truth into the case
and unfold the entire affair.
