Big Guns Are Busy

yesterday approached the outskirts OF
Czernowitz, the capital of Bukowina,
the war Office announced today
The statement alsot says that Rus
sian troops attacked the bridgehead at
Zalesczyky.
AS the Russian troops drew near
Cznerowits, the report says, there were
numerous explosions caused by the
Austrians within the city.
Czernowitz, the objective Of the Rus.
was in possession Of the Russians for
some time early in the war but they
were compelled to evacuate the city
during the progress Of the Austro-
German offensive
Zalesczyky is on the river Dniester,
thirty miles northwest Of Csernowitz.
It was in this region that some Of the
heaviest fighting OF the Russian often.
stve last spring occurred.
WAR SUMMARY.
The German attack on verdun has
again swung to the east Of the Meuse,
following the assaults Of Saturday
night on the French positions near
Hill 3O4, west of the river. Last night
German infantry charged French posi-
tons west Of TT. Vaux but, the French
war office reports, was unable to gain
ground.
At the same time the French posi-
tions near Forts souville and Tavan-
ness, south of TT. Vaux, were bom-
barded heavily. Paris looks for q
severe struggle for possession Of Ft.

may be preliminary Should the Ger
mans capture the fort they would open
q breach In the French defenses which
might compel the French to abandon
sthis entire line and fall back on the
inner defenses on the right bank OF
the river.
y West Of the Mouse the only deveL
opment OF the night was q heavy ar
,tillery action in the vicinity Of Chat
tancourt.I
Russians still Gaining.
The spectacular Russian advance in
Galicia and Volhynia apparently has
not been checked, although few de-
tails Of the campaign are permitted to
come to light. Vienna comedies the
withdrawal Of Austrian troops in
northeastern Bukowina, where the ad-
vance of the Russians has brought
them within thirteen miles Of the cap
ital, Czernowitz.
The sinking Of two more neutral
merchantmen Is reported. The Swed-
ish steamship Emmy has been destroy
ed by mine off Falsterbo, with the
loss Of five men. The Norwegian
steamer. Bur also has been sunk,
whether by mine or torpedo is un-
known. Fifteen men from the Bur
have been landed at Ymuiden, Hol-
land.
I The Italians claim to have repulsed
the Austrians with heavy losses at
Monte fLemerle The italian cabinet
has resigned as result Of the refusal
OF the chamber Of deputies to give q
vote OF confidence in the government
after it had failed to pass the budget
OF the ministry Of the interior.
British troops in German East
Africa have captured two towns.
An official British tabulation Of Ger
man losses up to the end of May
gives aggregate casualties Of 1924
5S6, Of which 734,412 represents men
killed. These losses are exclusive Of
those sustained in naval engagements
and the fighting in the colonies.

.RUMoR NOT TRUE.

Mercedes, Tex, June 12.-Reports
that thirty horsemen had crossed the
Rio Grande south Of Donna are re-
ported to be untrue by Capt Haines
and Lieut.. Glass Of Troop G, third cav
airy, who made an investigation last
night and returned here early today.
They found no trace Of bandits.
Reports that American soldiers en-.
gagged with Mexicans across the river
at Progreso on Friday are also re-

is said to be founded on the fact that
Carranza soldiers were chasing ban

said, were later captured by the de

he was treated well by the Mexicans

has been entirely new business, it is
said. During part of the season the
capacity OF their cars have been un-
equal to the demands made upon them,
and next year there will be more and
much larger cars in service.
For many years there has been talk
of an interurban line from Asheville.
This talk has been backed with the
expenditure of money, and at one time
1T looked. as though the road might
actually be built An AshevilIe man
who has never lost interest in the
projects sees in the constantly re-
@peated rumors that the line will be
built an indication, also. of a new hotel
for this city. He says:
"The commercial hotels of Ashe-
Vile have all the business now that
they can care for. During the sum"
mer the hotel facilities of the city are
taxed to their capacity. When this
interurban line is finally built, as it
will be, the traffic to Asheville will be
greatly increased. Suppose the cars
should be operated on an hours
schedule, leaving Spartanburg at some
convenient point and unloading pas
sengers in the center of this city. The
attractiveness Of the journey, and it's
utter convenience would draw thou.
sands.
rsI believe the expenditure Of this in
terurban line, VIXEN built, will be that
of others. They create new business
and are profitable. 1 believe that a
considerable portion of Spartanburg
and Hendersonville would come to
eAsheville for the week ends could
they make the journey on inter
urban cars. This would mean addl-
tional hotel facilities needed here to
care for this new business, and for
that reason the construction of the line
would have doubly beneficial effect. -

the activities of engineers in this sec
ton for some time. no statement
could be secured. The men who are
doing the work are paid for it and OF
course cannot make their instruction
public. However we are of the opinion
that such line would pay handsomely
and see no reason why it should not be
built. 50

COLORADO EDUCATOR SPEAKS
TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Advises Them to, Get a Part of Their
Education in the West Instead of
EoSf

Professor McLucas, Dean of the
School of English in the University of
ColOrado-, and who is now visitor in
Hendersonville, visited the graded
school last Thursday morning. He
talked to the high school in the audi
torium and then visited the-first and
the second grades. <
In his talk to the h gh school stu
dents Prof. McLucas advised them to
get part of their education in the
west rather than in the east. Not, he
said, that the schools of the west are
superior to those of the east, but be-
cause of the broadening experience to
be gained by living with a~cosmopoli-
tan people who not long since were on
the frontier where democracy is al
ways an ideal, and general progress is
rapid. 1t is better for the conservative
southerner to imbide the ideals of the
west than it is for him to add to his
conservatism from the schools of the
east.
He said further that the ooutherner
ought not to remain in the west, but
to come back to the South, inasmuch
as the South is by nature the greatest
section of this counery.

to that rest of the Children of God,
September 12, 1916. At the age Of
thirteen he became Christian, united
with the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church,
and thenceforth walked so consistently
after the example of the Master that
his life was a source of inspiration and
a positive power wherever he was
known. bur. was most helped in his
home community.
When twenty-one years of age ne
married Miss Rosa Patterson, who with
the three little daughters, have the
sympathy of a multitude of friends as
they mourn so great loss.
The life that has ceased to be here
was one that chose the good and re.
fused the evil and in turn bestowed
that good on either side of the pathway
of life. Here among us it was grand
and shining light: gone, We pause and
mediate on its gentle purity, and out
of the gloom of our imperfections we
look toward that day when we shall
see this Ife bearing its Grown CT
Righteousness from the Hand Of
the Righteous Judge. AS we look III
