RUSSIANS FALL
BACK DISTANCE
Of MANY MILES
Military Leaders Called to Meet
at Brussels by Emperor
William.
SUNSHINE is BADLY NEEDED
German Counter Offensive North
of Ypres has Gone 10 Naught
and Are Steadily Losing
Ground.
SUNSHINE is BADLY NEEDED

There is no indication tonight
when the combined push of the Brit
ish-French offensive will be resumed,
but sunshine is badly needed to dissi-
pate the quagmire.
The German counter offensive
northeast of the Ypres canal has
gone to naught, the British fire rak-
ing in the advancing forces merci-
lessly.
Although the Teutons continue to
advance against the Russians in Gal
icia the allied offensive ON the west
ern front is evidently getting on the
| nerves of Emperor William. 1t is as
sumed by the war council of military
naval leaders, called by the emperor
to meet in Brussels, had as an objec-
tive a survey of the offensive on
the western front. However, nothing
has come through to indicate the
trend of discussion or the decision
of the council.
Daily the situation on the Russians
on the eastern front grows acute.
Russian troops everywhere are stead
lily falling back Numerous additional
towns have been captured by the
Teutons Berlin announces that the
Russians have retreated over dis
tance of one hundred miles.
Germany is battling with desper-
alton probably unparalleled in the
war to hold the Flanders line against
the combined French British attack.
Notwithstanding the handicap of
bad weather, the entente forces made
good most of their gains. Apparent
ly they are only waiting better wealth
er to continue to blast their way far
ther on.
Berlin's boast of a successful re-
sistance was based on the unwar
ranted assumption that the entente
forces tried to break through and the
fact that the German reaction result
ed in taking one or two advanced
positions. The entente forces answer
ed this by retaking one of these po-
sitionsH
A storm is preventing observation
entirely, which precludes big gun op-
erations.
Despite the heavy Flanders fight
ing, the Germans attacked the French
fronts. Paris reports two attacks
near Rheims, one in the Verdun re-
gion. and another at St Mihiel All
were repulsed.

camp will open at St Simon, when
a large number of the youngsters will

Powell Jenkins, assistant scout
master. arrived in the city yesterday
and left for the island, and he will
have all arrangements completed for
the camp when the boys arrive to
day. An interesting daily routine for
the Scouts has been arranged and
it is expected that the camp this
year will prove one of the most en-
joyable ever held. There are four
troops located in Waycross, all OF
them having large number of mem
bers, and, as all four troops are to
go into camp, it is expected that a
large number will come down today

A FINE STATEMENT
BY GLyNN BANK
GREAT INCREASE IN DEPOSITS
MADE BY THIS BANK DUR
ING PAST YEAR.

That Brunswick is growing and
that the Glynn County Bank is grow
ing with it, is strongly evidenced by
statement of that institution pub
lished elsewhere in The News this
morning, which shows wonderful
growth of the city's youngest banking
institution during the past year.
This statement shows the total de-
posits of the bank on August 2, 1915
at $142,448.70; ON August 2, 1916, at
S218, 1856, and on August e. 1917
yesterday, of $465, 5,21271, net in.
crease during the past twelve months
of $246,S24.06,

growth of this bank A policy of
progressiveness, courtesy and appre
citation of business is to great ex

MORE TRAINS
LIKELY To Be
DISCONTINUED
Report Has it That Lines In
This Section Will Make
Many Changes.
PASSENGER AND FREIGHT
RumOr That Southern is to Dis
continue Its Morning Train
Out OF Brunswick Not Gem
orally Believed.

According to report which seems
to be general in railroad circles, va
rious lines in this section of the state
are preparing to present to the Geor-
gia railroad commission petitions for
the discontinuance of a large num-
Der of passenger trains, while the
report also has it that freight ser
vice is also to be cut down to the
lowest possible maximum
1t was stated yesterday that con
ferences were to be arranged between
officials of various lines and agree
ments reached as to just what should
be asked of the railroad commission
and the roads will then make every
effort to get the consent of the com
mission for the discontinuance of the
trains they desire to cut off
There is some satisfaction in the
report, however, that it is the inten-
tion of the various lines in this sec
tion not to curtail their passenger
trains to such an extent so as to Sc
r;ously interrupt travel. Only in
cases where the trains can be taken
off without great Inconvenience to
the public will the lines seek to Sc
cure the consent of the railroad com
mission
To just what extent the proposed
changes will effect Brunswick cannot
as yet be ascertained So far only
one line has taken any action, this
being the petition of the A, B. and
A. to discontinue the passenger train
at present leaving Brunswick at a
m. and returning at $40 p. m. AL
though this train gives local people
an opportunity to visit all points
along the A., B. and A. and return the
same day, Brunswick realizes that it
is being operated at loss, and it is
not believed that the city will offer
any opposition to the roads petition.
A meeting will be held on Wednesday
at the Board of Trade rooms for the
purpose Of discussing this matter
The rumor has gained ground, in
connection, with the general railroad
story, that the Southern is contem-
plating the discontinuance OF the
morning train between Brunswick
and Jesup, which connects with the
train for Macon and Atlanta, as well
as all other points, but such report
is not believed here, as this is one
of the most important trains operat-
ing in and out of the city.

BRITISH LABOR PARTY
WARNS GOVERNMENT

London, Aug. 2.+James Thomas, a
member of the house of commons
warned the government today that
if labor members are prevented from
discussing peace by the refusal OF
passports to countries where it is
proposed to hold conferences, the la
Dor party would force the govern
ments hands. The premier replied
that the government has not the least
altered it's views on peace conditions
The debatew as on whether the gov.
ernment was on whether the govern
ment was active in the public inter
est in allowing Arthur Henderson, a
member of the war council, to go to
France with pacifist mission. The
premier said the government would
not take part in the pacifist confer

MANY WILL CLAIM
THE EXEMPT|O
MAY BE NECESSARY TO CALL
OUT LARGE NUMBER OF AD-
DiTIONAL NAMES.

Indications are that exemption
claims by Glynn county registrants
will be, SO heavy that not more than
fifty per cent of the county's quota
for the first army will be secured
out of the first list of men to be eX-
amined next week.
Clerk duBignon declared yesterla
that many claims had been made for
exemption blanks. In looking over a
portion of the list of names a few
days ago, he ascertained that large
per cent OF the men were married.
Assuming that twenty-five per cent
OF the single men will be exempted
for physical disabilities and as many
for dependents and occupational rea-
sons, it will be seen that less than
fifty per cent will be accepted for
the first army from the first two
hundred called. 1t may be necessary
to call out four or five hundred eli
gibles before the quota is secured.
Statistics have Eeen compiled in
Washington to show that the reJec-
tions of registrants because of physi-
cal disabilities will amount to fully
twenty-five per cent There is no
available data, however, as to de-
pendents, or as to how many must be
excused under industrial exemptions,

That is the Announcement
Washington Makes to
Peace RumOrs.
TERMS ARE TO COME LATER
United States to Press Through
to the End, Fighting Side by
Side With France, England
and the Allies.

Washington, Aug. 2-The United
States will talk specific terms of
peace when Germany is beaten.
This is the decision of the govern
ment as the allied democracies enter
upon the fourth year of the world
struggle
Behind it are found the reasons
for Americas refusal to support now
retention by France of Alsace-Lor-
raine as peace proviso. 1t further
reveals that the United States is com
mitted to press through to the finish,
side by side, with her allies. And it
may be stated with authority that
there is an understanding among all
these nations-America included
that there will be no separate peace.
The government today is concern
feEeynly with victory. If Germany is
beaten, then will be the time to dis
cuss disposition of Alsace, Belgium,
Italia Irredentia, Austria, the German
colonSs and other territories, state
department officials say.
Now such talk is negligible" The
government refuses to state over
what tesffls. it has in mind-if any
though be belief is that the allies
now have a common understanding
with this country as to how far the
war should proceed and what must be
wrested from Germany when victory
comes.
