ALMOST FULL FLIGHT.
Russian Retreat Sometimes Degener-
ates Into ROut.

Copenhagen, July 25.-A semi-of-
fetal German report describes as a
striking panorama the retreat Of the
Russian armies in Galicia. The re-
firing columns stretching to hhe ho-
rizon can plainly be observed from
numerous vantage points. The re-
treat occasionally degenerates into a
full rout, particularly under the in
luence of the Austro-German field
guns which are abreast the infantry
vanguards and dash forward to hill
where they POUR ademoralizing fire
into masses crowded IN the roads.
Additional quantities Of munitions,
provisions and six heavy guns were
captured. Another report says that
airplanes heavily bombarded the sta
ton at Monasterzyska and the new
road for the Russian troops south OF
the point from which regular conmu-
nication has been severed.

BIG BARBECUE AND CROWD
AT PMOARIA TODAY

The dinner will be served at 1890
and not wait until 2:30 as Walter
Richardson sayi We printed it III
giving notice of the speaking and bar
becue at Pomaria today, Friday. He
wants it distinctly understood that
dinner will come promptly at 1890
o'clock and we are inclined to the
opinion that is the main thing. The
speakers and the speaking is only
incidental AID in order to get the
crowd present. That is in so for as
those who are interested in the bar
becue is concerned. And they are
right They are going to have bar
besue and the meats and they want
the people come prepared to eat din
ner. And they always have fine
barbecue at Pomaria. And there will
be a good cue this year.
and then there will be good speak
ing. That is to say they have some
good speakers on the program and
they are men who have message and
know how to deliver it. DR.. Seegers
and DR.. Mccullough are strong men
in their line and always have some
thing to say. John Richards is a
good man and talks interestly always.
Tom Brantley is an orator and has
a message worth while to go with his
oratory. And you all know that
Cole Blease is good crowd drawer.
Fred Dominick will not be able to be
present. Congress is still passing
revenue measures and the secretary
of the treasury has just notified con-
gress that it would be necessary to
issue aye billion more bonds and that
the war expenses for the first year
will be around fourteen billion do
lars, just tiWce the amount hr5t
handed out. So he will have to remain
in Washington to- look after this
along with other matters. But two
doctors of divinity, two. politicians
and one statesman should be a suhi-
ciency for one day for any crowd
Go to Pomaria today, meet. your
friends. get a good barbecue dinner

good time generally. The rains have

ed to France.

Washington, July 2?.-The entire
National Guard of the country with the
exception of troops from California
and the Southwestern States is in thu
federal service tonight under Presi-
dent Wilson's call.
The remaining units will be brought
in August 5, on which day the whole
force of probably 100000 men will be
drafted into the army of the United
States and will lose it's status as mill
tia. From that day on, the State
troops can be used for any duty re-
quired of the regular army.
The first increment of the guard was
called out ten %ays ago. Those called
today embrace New England, Middle
Western and Northwestern States and
several Southern States. Probably
more than 10000 men went on the
federal payroll. New York, :Pennsyl-
vania, and Ohio troops and those from
several other States were in the first
increment.
With liberalization of the entire
force complete after August 5, the
ranks of all regiments will be filled
up to full war strength with men from
the selective draft lists.
There have been many things to in
dicate that guard regiments which are
now fairly we'll equipped and which
have the benefit of the border mobili-
zation will not be held long at the di-
yisional training camps. transpor-
tation is available the best Of the
State troops may be hurried to France
at once, stopping only for final out
fitting.

RETURN TO OLD LINE.
Russians Again in Their Former Posi-
ti0ns.

Petrograd, July 25.-The present
line of the southwestern front is ap-
proximately that occupied after Cen
eral Brussiloff's drive last summer,
except before Tarnopol, where the
enemy succeeded in pushing further
into Russian territory. The fate OF
the latter saNp was virtually decided
with tile Germans holding the su-
baurbs just across the sereth River,
within easy gun range.
The Germans chose the Junction
point OF the Seventh and Eleventh
armies for beginning their offensive,
the first blow being struck between
Zboroff and Pebaki on a 20 mile front.
without great effort, as admitted IN
the Russian official communication
thew pursued their advance to the Line
Of the Sereth. This uncovering OF the
Russian position south, OF, Tarnopoi
forced a retirement all along the dag
onal line southwestward, cutting the
Stripa and Ziota Lipa to Hal1cz and
the Lomnica, The Russians have been
obliged to retire to the right bank Of
the latter river and Halicz; is seriously
threatened with a prospect of a fur
ther retirement to the original Rus
sian positions east of Stanislau oc-
cupied before General Brussiloff's ad
vance.
One of the first results has been
general agitation fo- the restoration
of the death penalty for insubordlna-
ton in the army and for reasonable
conduct on the part of the agitators.
General Korniloff, commander of the
southwestern front, has issued orders
to all subordinate commanders to op'
en- fire on deserters and troops re-
fusing to obey orders. Premier Kere-
nsky has sanctioned the effort to re-
store discipline. Many Maximalists,
to whose agitation the decentralization
of the troops is attributed, have been
arrested.

DAVID STODDARD
SHOT AND KILLED
Dead Man Prominent Citizen Of Dhps
Township Circumstances Net
Exactly Clear.

The State.
Laurens, July 24.-David D. Stod-
dard, we'll to do farmer and one OF
the best known citizens Of Dial'S
Township, was shot and killed today
by Robert W. Burdette, young farm
er and neighbor of the deceased. Mrs.
Dee Bolt, sister of young Burdette,
is said to have been involved in the
circumstances that led to the homi-
eide.
The scene of the tragedy is nea-
Stoddards Old Mill, a mile and half
west Of Owings Station, and the kill
ing occurred near the public road
about a quarter of mile from Stod-
dard's home. Burdette used a, shot
gun and the entire charge, fired at
pretty close range, it is said, took
effect in Stoddard's back, death ensu-
ing shortly after he had run forward
some so feet from the spot where he
was hot. Burdette gave the alarm
at once, it is said, and soon a number
of neighbors hurried to the scene.
Burdette in company with one or
two friends started at once for the
court house and was met by the sher-
iff.
The inquest was held this afternoon,
the verdict being IN accordance with
sufficient facts and placing the re-
sponsibility on Burdette.
From what can be gathered it seems
that Mrs. Bolt, accompanied be a ne
gro woman, left her home about q
mile and half distant from Stod-
dard's mill some time during the
morning to visit a neighbor living in
the Stoddard community. A short time
previous to her leaving her brother,
Robert Burdette, left the house, stat
ing that he was going to store In
the community to make some pur-
chases. He carried shot gun. It IS
said that Mr.. stoddard A2d the young
woman were travelling or had stop
ped in a bypath near the road when
the fatal shot was fired.
Mr.. Stoddard was 49 years Of age
and is survived by his father and
mother and several children, one Of
his sons having married a sister of
Burdette. Several brothers also sur
vi7e, includisg J. E. Stoddard of Col
umbia.
Burdette's father, J. A.Burdette, Is
one of the substantial citizens of the
county. It is said that Mrs. Bolt has
been separated from her husband for
several years. She has two small chill
drea.

Daniels Talks.

Speaking of the appointment this
afternoon, Secretary of the Navy DAN
iels said that Admiral Capps had not
the slightest idea that he was being
considered to succeed Gen. Goethals
until informed by the Secretary OF the
nresident's action. The secretary
said that most of the present fighting
vessels of the navy were designed by
Admiral Capps and praised him as one
of the greatest shipbuilders in the
world.
Edward n. Hurley, former chairman
of the trade commission, who was
named bS the president to succeed
Chairman Denman, of the Shipping
Board, confined his remarks for pub
lication to about fifty words, when
asked if he had any statement to make
as 10 his appointment. The substance
of the Hurley utterance was. we
must buiad ships, not talk about them. ::
Capps MUM.
Admiral Capps would not make any
statement whatever. when seen by The
News and Courier correspondent and
said that he did not intend to make
any. This is in line with his record. eco Z

men remarked today to Secretary.
Daniels:

for twenty-one years to get an inter-
view from Admiral Caps"
eyes," replied the secretary, "and
I dare say you will try with just
about the same success for the next
twenty-one years"

FOUND NOT GUILTY
JURY IN COUNTY COURT DELIBER.
ATES FOR FIVE HOURS ON
ABANDONMENT CASE.

The jury in Judge Goodsell's county
court found a knotty case last Wednes-
day afternoon. At least the jurors
took from 7:15 until midnight to set
tie the case of the State VS.. Wilson
Woodruff, a Montfort brakeman.
Woodruff was charged with having
abandoned his wife and child a year
ago. His attorney, L. A. Brunck-
horst, argued that the shoe was IN
the other foot, and that, in fact, the
husband was the abandoned party. 1t
was contended by the defense that
Mrs. Woodruff had left her husband
on one or two occasions, going home
to her mother That also she had
declined to accept clothing proffered
for the child.
After being out five hours the jury
returned with a verdict of not guilty.
Had the jury returned a verdict of
guilty" the court would then have
directed that Woodruff provide for his
family.
Under the circumstances the wife
will get nothing unless a judgment of
divorce on plea Of non-support pro-
vides for alimOny.

NEAR IPSWICH AND SCARE UP
GENUINE "LUCIVEE.

James Fawcett, Charles Burg and
II. c. George of Platteville neighbor-
hood shot wild cat last Wednesday
while hunting south OF Ipswich, near
that city.
The men were walking on the right
of-way when the lynx jumped up from
the brush just few feet ahead Of
them. All three ups with their guns
and blazed away simultaneously.
THE Lucivee," as they call wild cats
down in Maine, was shot full Of holes
and stopped instanter in a condition
Of rigor mortis.
The animal, or what was left )f
him, had light brown fur with Gus
tomary lynx markings. His feet were
large and he had a fine crop of whisk-
ers He weighed about forty pounds
Lynx is common throughout lower
Canada and Maine, but is not often
seen this far west. Doubling Thomas
es at Platteville say that the beast
was not a lynx at all, but from Mr.
Fawcett's description the Herald be
lieves it was.
