AUSTRIANS TRANSFERRING
TROOPS TO THE IS0Nz0
Gen. Won Hoetzendorf Is Believed to
Be Preparing for an Au-
tumn Campaign.

ROME. August 9.-Military circles
report that Gen. Conrad Won Hoetzen-
dorf, Austrian chief of staff. has moved
his headquarters from the Trentino to
the Isonzo. ordered huge artillery con-
centrations. has withdrawn a majority
of the troops from thes first lines to
spare them from bombardment and has
taken other measures apparently in
preparation for an autumn campaign.
These moves, says the Idea Nazion-
ale, have been provoked by activity on
the Russian front, although they have
been slow in coming, because the Aus
trian military authorities, even in de-
f1ance of the German supreme COM
mand, have hesitated to repeat their
mistake of a year ago. when they
weakened their Italian line, to proceed
against Gen. Brussiloff.
Instead they have increased their
strength on the Russian front by lit
orally consbing the monarchy for
Serbia, drawing upon the youngest as
well as the oldest classes, and taking
men who have not completed their in
struction. Now. however, they are re-
grouping. if not weakening, their
forces on the Italian front, relying on
artillery concentration in the Trentino
to take the place of the troops shifted
to the 1sonzo or elsewhere and keep
ing all the men possible behind the
front lines.
Numerous lines of communication
have been damaged lately, the paper
says. by Italian flyers. making the
transfers of the Austrian troops more
difficult. This is especially true of the
Tolmino district.

FOOD LAW VIOLAT0RS
German Animals Used by .Authori-

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. via London. August -
Germany's famous trained police dogs
are now proving valuable sleuths in
running down violators of the food
laws. Near Berlin the dogs located a
man who had been pilfering from vege-
table patches of truck gardeners, lead
ing officials to the house where the
stolen vegetables were hidden.
In Munich constable attempted to
seize a man caught with fifty pounds of
meat from an Illegal slaughter house.
The man escaped. leaving the burden
behind, but was tracked to a hayloft by
police dogs. When the officer returned
to the spot where the meat was left he
found the meat gone. The police dogs
were again summoned and located it in
a nearby house, where it had been hid
den by woman.
When hailed to court the meat specu-
lator pleaded he was without funds
The court was inclined to doubt the
story, and suspecting the meat snug
gler had hidden his purse in the hay
loft, again requisitioned the police dogs,
which found the mans pocketbook well
padded with currency hidden in the
hay.
The fishing industry also is being
subjected to government control as a
result of wholesale smuggling and
speculation.

Peace Without Complete
Restoration.

LONDON, August 9.-Premier Lloyd
George, speaking at the luncheon of the

premier. said that the first condition
of peace is restoration, complete and
without reservation" The premier add
ed that he believed in little nations
saying:
Il believe in the nation which can sing
about it's defeats. Serbia has sung right
through the centuries, not of victory
but of defeat that submerged her in the
food of barbarism. Serbia always has
hoped and now her day of reckoning
comes. The nation that sings of her de-
feats is immortal.
However long this war may last
Great Britain's honor is involved in see
ing Serbia free. Serbia and Belgium are
the guardians of the gate, and brave
ly have they defended them. The troops
of Serbia never have been disheartened
they still are guarding the gate. The
British extend once more the hand OF
friendship to Serbia We will &C
through the war together to the end
Mr.. Lloyd George said that Europe
owed much to Premier Pachitch, for i,
was through his action that "civiliza
ton accepted the challenge of the bar
barism of Prussia"

Army Board Investigating.

ATLANTA, Ga. August "A board
of Army officers today continued inves-
tigation of the killing of four civilians
late yesterday during field artillery
practice at Little Kenesaw mountain.
about thirty miles from Atlanta. Not
only are they trying to ascertain what
caused the shell that exploded to
ricochet to the point a mile from the
mountain where the victims met death,
but whether or not the story that an
other shell had been diverted far from
its course is correct. A she'll that did
not explode but went whizzing over a
house was the indirect cause of Willie
Coleman, a negro. being hurt, accord
ing to his story.
Col. Charles E. Noyes, commander at
Fort Mcpherson and of the officers in
training who were doing the shooting,
has appointed "a military board to in
yestigate the accident. As far as
known today the Cobb county officials
had not planned an inquiry other than
a coroner's inquest.

fired. after the student gunners had spent
several hours shelling targets a distance
of about 1000 yards. Two theories were

Mrs. Harris and the two negroes-that
the shell passed over the top of a wooded
crest of the mountain, or struck a rock on
the side. rebounding and fell into the cen

ods of farming as given by county agents. The bank furnishes the best seed corn obtainable and requires the grower at gathering time to select and bring to the bank 10 cars. Liberal premiums will be given on the corn exhibited at the bank.
 This encouragement and help given to growers is worthy of special com mendation. It shows that progressive bankers realize the value of safe farm ing and are willing to help those who practice it on their farms. Doubtless the practice the growers get in ap- proved methods of tillage and in se- lecting seed corn will be worth much in years to come.
