British Make Slight Gains in
Sudden Raid
RUSSIANS FALL BACK
Have Had to Give Ground Before The
Austro-Germans At Many
Points in the South.

London, Aug. 9.-Flanders, where
the big guns have been booming in
cessantly since rain stopped the en-
tente offensive movement early last
week, has again been the scene Of in
fantry fighting, but only on a small
scale. Near the coast the British
have been successful In raid into
the German lines near Lombaertzyde.
Berlin officially describes this oper-
alton as an attack in force which, 1t
saws. the Germans beat off in hand-to-
hand fighting. The Teutons also
record the repulse of local attacks
by the British in the Bixschooto
region, between Dixmude and Ypres.
Along the Aisne front and on the
right bank of the Meuse, northeast OF
Verdun, violent artillery activity
continues on both sides. The German
crown prince has not followed up his
attacks on the Aisne front where
he was repulsed east of Vauxaillon
and west of the California plateau.
Russian troops are on the of
fensive in the Chotin region on the
Russo -Galician border, northeast OF
Czernowitz, and have withstood sue
cessfully Austro-German thrusts in
the region of Brody, in Galicia, north
east of Lemberg The Russian for
ward movement west of Chotin re-
suited in the capture Of two villages
and hight. The Austro-Germans
lost 300 prisoners and four machine
guns. The Teutonic effort near Brody
penetrated the Russian lines but
the attackers were thrown back
by counter-attack and the Russian
lines restored.
A newspaper report from Petrograd
says the Russians have evacuated
the fortress of Kamenetz-Po the
capital OF Podoliav, about 80 miles
northeast of Chotin and the garrison
town OF Proskurov, on the Bug river,
81 miles north of Kamenetz Podolsk.
Both these places are some distance
from the line of the River Zbrowcz,
which has been held in part by the
Russians for more than a week, and
lie behind the Chotin-Brody line.
In central Moldavia, the Teutons
continue their advance north of FOX
shani. Petrograd admits the success
of this movement and says the Rus
slams have retired toward the River
Sereth.

Aero Club to Help Young Aviators.

Every boy is interested more or less in
flying. That's why he makes kites. In
the October Woman's Home Companion,
writer says:
Model aeroplanes designed and built
by American boys have flown more than
mile, sailing aloft by their own power
for over three minutes. Many boys will
remember the first model aeroplanes,
which would fly about for only few
feet at time. For several years
flight of 100 feet was considered tri-
umph. Thousands of boys in all parts of
the country have been working at the
problem; countless models have been
built and flown, and every conceivable
material used in their construction. The
recent models now seem to be practically
perfect in their way.
"The interest in model aeroplane build
ing is widespread and there are a sur
prising number of clubs devoted to mod
ell building and flying. These clubs, in
fact, play a very important part in the
growth of the sport They enable the
boys of any town or city to come to-
gether and exchange ideas and mutually
assist one another"
