A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR.

Thursday, July 19.--German troops
under the crown prince made further
attacks on French positions. One was
made on front of 500 meters south
of st. Quentin. The attacks gained a
footing in the French first line, but
were expelled from the greater part
of these positions by counter at
tack. A German attempt to regain
ground captured by the French near
AvocOMt wood, on the Verdun front,
was defeated.
Russian troops have again driven
south of Kalusz, and now occupy the
eastern end of that place. The Rus
slams captured more than 200 prison
ers and three machine guns in fight
ing near Novica.
Friday, July 20.-German troops
have pushed forward through three
strong Russian zones of defense be-
tween the Sereth and Zlota Lipa riv-
ers, in eastern Galicia. The Russians
suffered heavily, the statement adds.
and are retreating in disorder. The
Germans took few thousand prison
ers.
Saturday, July 21.-German troops
in eastern Galicia have crossed the
Zlochoff-Tarnopol road on front of
J 40 kilometers. They found burning
villages and great destruction in their
path.
The German statement also an
nounces Austro-Hungarian forces re-
captured positions north of Brzezany
lost to the Russians July 1.
German troops in the central sec
tor of the Chemin-des-Dames on the
Aisne front took 100 French prisoners
in surprise attack and carried out
other important raiding operations in
the Rheims and Verdun sectors.
Sunday, July 2.-The French and
Russian fronts continue the scenes of
the greatest military activity.
In France, between Coissons and
Rheims, the French have again given
an exhibition of their tenacious ability
at defense, like that which held the
Germans back from Verdun.
In the east the Russian line in Ga
licia apparently is crumbling by rea-
son of the disaffection of some of the
troops and the vicious assaults the
Germans and Austro-Hungarians, es-
pecially the Germans, are throwing
against it.
Tuesday, July 24.-Desperate fight
ing took place at two points in the
Russian line and on TIE front in
France where the ~e rec de-
livered furious blows : af'eayor
to shake General Tetair L On a
number of commanding TCs1ticrs. Tho
German counter-offensive against the
Russians appears to be sweeping en-,
ward with uniform success and the
occupation of the city of Tarnopol, in
eastern Galicia, is confirmed.
To offset Russian reverses in the
Galician battles comes word of an at
tack ON the Germans near Krevo and
Wilma, north of the Pinsk marshes, in
which the Teuton line was penetrated
for a distance of more than two miles
The Russians captured more than l.,
900 German prisoners.

"The Fall of a Nation" "

The Fall of a Nation" which
will be presented at the Electric
next Sunday, Jan. 7th, tells a
vital story of international signii-
canoe. A confederation of Eu-
ropean powers decides to seize
North America and annex it to
Europe. A secret army Of the
foreign born is raised in New
York. AS the greatest city of
the North American States has
few armed defenders, it is an
easy task to capture it overnight.
Meanwhile 10000 trained
troops, from the European wars,
are rapidly transported across
the Atlantic with all their equip
ment of great guns, poison gases,
liquid fire and bombs. Efecting
a landing, they easily vanquish
the small North American army,
join the foreign-born conquerors
of New York, and march to
Washington where they depose
the President and put in his place
the Imperial Viceroy of the
Provinces of North America"
While the locale of the story is
in and near New York, it's
momentous lesson applies to any
country unprepared to meet the
foreign foe. At the end of the
present war there will be millions
of idle troops in Europe.
What new task will be set for
them? Will covetous eyes be
cast on the riches of the con-
tinents discovered by Columbus?
Will some Emperor-like Napo-
leon III, who sent the French
invaders into Mexico attempt
to seize fair and wealthy por-
ton of the New Hemisphere?
Ghen-uniess the country attack
ed is ready and we'll prepared
history will record a real tragic
Fall of Nation"
1t is against this terrible danger
that Thomas Dixon, the author
of the spectacle, provides an
awful warning.

DR.. Sampson, our newly elect

strenuous introduction to the du
ties of the job Wednesday after.
noon, when he had four cases
to diagnose. The first patient
was Pompaline Lopto. and the
complaint seemed to be com
plication of whisky and handy
gun. After consulting the au-
thorities on such complications
the doctor decided the patient
ought to spend about thirty days
in the sanitarinm at Holbrook,
which he later amended provided
the young man would take care
of himself in the future. The
doctor tackled on his fee of 500
which stuck.
The next patients were Fran
cisco Soldana and his son Tony.
and they were supposed to be
afflicted with burglaritis, but af-
ter consultation and careful di-
agnosis the doctor could find no
symptoms of the disease.
A couple of fair daughters of
Italy were next in line, and their
complaints was general disturb
ance, and the doctor advised
them to take soothing potions
for their nerves.
The next victim was a bad
case. George Coleman was ap-
parently suffering from klepto-
mania in an aggravated form.
The doctor felt of his pulse, look
ed at his tongue, took his tenn
perature, and decided the pa
tient needed heroic treatment, so
he was ordered to Holbrook be-

Golden Wedding.

Fifty years ago. on January 1st,
1867, in the then little town of
Marshall, Mich, a bashful young
swain named I. A. See led to the
altar timid maiden named Phoe-
be Mather. Through the half a
century that has since passed
with it's trials and Affections, it's
prosperity and joys, they have
kept ever fresh in their memo
ries the marriage vows to love,
honor and cherish, and adhere
steadfast one to the other in
sickness and health, adversely
and prosperity. The years have
swiftly sped, and the bride and
groom of fifty years ago are still
the bride and groom of today,
siIvered of hair perhaps, but with
hearts still young, and the fires
OF their love burning brighter
with each passing year.
Last Monday evening in COM
memoration of this most impor-
tant event in the lives.of Mr.. and

golden wedding anniversary. A
daughter, and her family, living
in Michigan, was the only child
missing around the family board.
The home was appropriately
and handsomely decorated in
white and gold, the white to re-
call to the bride of long ago the
wedding grown and veil of her
youth, and the gold to mark the
flight of time. The early hours
of the evening were devoted to
music and readings, followed
with an elaborate caferteria
luncheon. The favors were lit
tie gold nut bowls. 1t was a
joyous happy occasion through
out. Mr.. and Mrs. See were the
recipients of many handsome to-
kens of the love and esteem of
their guestsmany offerings being
gold coins of various denomina-
tions; one particularly pleasing
remembrance coming from fel-
low-employes of Mr.. See on the
Santa Fe.
The out-of-town guests drawn
here for the auspicious occasion
were L. F. Seeley and family,
and G. A. See and family, of
Needles, Mrs. C. M. Seeley of
Seligman, Mrs. Geo. Funk Of
Gallup, and Mrs. Milo Thomp-
son of Albuquerque.
Mr.. See has been in the en-
ploy of the Santa Fe road for

years Winslow has been their
home.
