Cross Dobrudja From

U-BOAT IS SUNK ALSO
French and English Are
Closing in On Combles,
Making Gains.

London, Sept. A combined at
tack by French and British forces on
the Somme front Sunday resulted in
an important gain Of ground between
the villages of Forest and Clery which
lie to the south of Combles and to the
east of Maurepas over an extent OF
nearly four miles. These two places
were occupied blythe French while
the British captured part of the
village of Ginchy and gained total
possession of Guillemont. Thus the
advance Of the entente allies is clos
ing in on Combles which at present
is a powerfully fortified German
stronghold.
In the various attacks launched by
the British and French, upward of
5000 prisoners were taken, together
with large number of guns. The
artillery action, prior to the infantry
was of great intensity along the
Forest-Clery section while both
British and French inaugurated fur
Their attacks at various other points.
The German positions east of the
village of Fleury also were overrun
by the French who carried several
OF the trenches and organized works.
The Germans returned to their at
lacks in the Verdun sector, sending
large forces of infantry against the
French positions around Vaux and
Chapitre and after heavy fighting,
gaining a foothold in one of the
French salients.
AT all points apparently the fighting
continues with the utmost ferocity.
Furious battles are being fought by
Russian and Austro-German forces
near Zlochoff and Halicz to the east
and southeast of Lemberg in Galicia,
Berlin claims German and Bulgari-
an troops have crossed the Dorbruja
frontier, in southeastern Rumania be-
tween the Danube and the Black sea,
the German official statement says.
Rumanian frontier guards were
driven back with losses.
A great battle between AuStrians
and Rumanians has been in progress
for the last 48 hours at OrSova,
which has been evacuated according
to dispatch to the Matin.
Ships Of the entente allied fleet
sank German submarine this morn
ing off Phaleron.

All indications point to a clear track

All indications point to clear track
for Judge c. H. Bush for circuit
judge. Judge Jas Breathitt, the
only Republican in the district who
could make formidable race, has
declined to be a candidate and no op-
position has developed in or out of
the Democratic party. Judge Bush
has issued an address to the voters
and expresses the hope that he will
be allowed to go ahead with his courts
without having to engage in a parti-
san contest for the office he fills by
appointment. The general satisfac-
ton that has followed his appoint
ment is shown by the fact that he is
so far without opposition from any
source.

OF the party autnOrltleS OF tne Demo-
cratic party. The Democratic Execu-
utive Committee of this district on the
25th Of August, 1915, by its Chair
man, called a meeting to be held at
Eddyville the 29th of August, to take
some action in regard to nominating a
candidate for Circuit Judge.
Pursuant to that call the committee
met in the court house at Eddyville,
at the appointed time. Hon. Rainey
Wells and myself were the probable
candidates. He was called upon to
express his pleasure as to what meth
cd the committee would adopt to de-
termine who should make the race.
Whereupon Mr.. Wells, in most able,
eloquent and patriotic speech, said
among other things that it was no
time for discord and party dissen-
sions, and urged harmony, and stat
ell that he had concluded not to be:a
candidate and expressed his willing
ness for the committee to nominate
me, which, according to party law, it
had the power and right to do; and |,
being the only remaining aspirant, the
committee, in the exercise of its au-
thority and power, nominated me and
awarded me the certificate of nominal
ton.
And therefore am before the dis
trict as the accredited nominee of the
Democratic party for Circuit Judge.

When you get right down to the
philosophy of Rotary, right down to
its meaning, it is service. A num-
Der of us have gathered together as
disciples of certain idea and we be-
lieve that the spre9ling of this idea
is for society's welfare. I consider
the great task of Rotary is first to
find men in every calling who are
true representatives and apt students
of that idea. / believe that the most
difficult task that lies before Rotary
today is not only to explain to these
men the principles and to bring them
to be students Of Rotary for the mas
terry of their own minds, but to bring
them or to teach or to train them to
love and strive for that which they
intelligently approve.-E. Leslie Pid-
geon, Third Vice-President.
