DOG BITES ONEAL BURTON
IN NUMBER OF PLACES
Was Playing With Canine When Its
Wrath Suddenly Became Aroused.
VIII Take Rabies Treatment.

Oneal, the nine-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. M Burton, was bit
ten and scratched Tuesday by bull
dog belonging to Mr.. Emmett Rior-
dan.
The little fellow was playing with
the dog at the home of Mr.. D. H.
Rowland, VIXEN, without warning,
the dog became enraged and leaped
on the boys back, biting and scratch
ing him in more than twenty places.
Three of the wounds were quite deep
The dog seemed calm and showed
no apparent signs of being mad. How
ever, physicians stated that it ~auld
be advisable for the child to take
treatment given by the state authori-
ties for the rabies. The dog is con-
fined, and will be kept so for sew
eral weeks, awaiting developments.

M. F. CRONIN READING
CLERK IN THE HOUSE
Won the Place Over Large Number
of Other Applicants.


of Other Applicants.
The clipping below from the Wash
ington Times, of June the 18th, will
be of much interest to Dawson peo-
pie, Mr.. Cronin, being the son-in-
law of Judge M. C. Edwards:
"Mr. Michael F. Cronin, of Iowa,
has stepped gracefully and unosten-
tatiously into the job of reading
clerk of the house of Representatives.
Twenty candidates for the place had
been tried out since April 2, when the
session convened, with only one read
er. Some of the candidates for the
job gave Mr.. Cronin a fairly close
contest; others were eliminated by
the time they had read the enact
ing clause of a pending bill.
Yesterday the patronage commit
tee, backed up by advice from both
sides of the chamber, gave the place
to Mike Cronin and he went on
the job as a regular to-day.
mike Cronin has a strong, pleas
ing voice-with not too much brogue
"a winning smile, an agreeable man
ner and a capacity for thinking quick
ly. All these attributes should be
found in reading clerk, for the leg
islative machinery becomes clogged
if the reading clerk is deficient from
the neck up and muffs amendments
and slows down on roll calls"

Russia's Collapse Means Ma

London. Aug. 3. - Looking from

Major General Frederick B. Maurice.

at the War Office. in his weekly talk
yesterday to The Associated Press. 1T
necessarily will mean a prolongation
of the war. We cannot longer count
on any great material assistance from
Russia. This means a greater burden
on the other entente allies, and for
the United States it means that she
must come into the field as soon as
possible and with the greatest pos
sible force"
THE events of the past two weeks
on the Russian front have been a
great disappointment to u.s.. con-
tinued General Maurice. The Ger
serious offensive. When the Russians
attacked. the Germans used only the
ordinary strategy OF counterattacks
with such troops as were Immediately
available. Certain bodies of Russians
collapsed and disaffection spread
through a great section of the Rus
sian front, with the result that the
Russians had to abandon nearly all
the ground won by General Brussiloff
last autumn"
Definite object
This week the battle in Flanders
was an entire success" continued
General Maurice. General Sir Doug
las Haig fixed a definite line of objec-
tive and, speaking generally, he at
tanned 1t successfully. On the south
ern. third of the, front he attacked
and gained his objective easily. On
the northern third the enemy's re-
sistance broke down so completely
that General Haig felt justified in per-
hitting his troops to go well beyond
the objective. In the central third
owing to stubborn enemy resistance"
General Maurice said the British
commanders next move was to de-
termine another objective and then,
ration, to proceed similarly to achieve
it.

rector of Military Operations. "the OBJ

must be patient and methodical In
this way we can gain ground and in

out heavy losses to ourselves. That
is the system we used at Arras and at
Messines, and the one now being used
in Flanders.

that there will be thousands OF bar
rels of sauerkraut made during the

The summer has been very favor
able to the raising of cabbage and
unless there Is n great lack of rain
from now on until the time that the
fall cabbage is grown there should

With sauerkraut making 1t will

boiling and cider making time is at

pose that the applebutter crock will

of early apples and the fall crop will
be something more than has been
expected.
The farmers of the county have
about finished up the harvest of the
wheat and rye and beginning this
week some of them have started on
the oats fields. The oats is a fair
crop. The wheat standing in shock
will soon be hauled to the barns.
although the large hay crop, which
crowds the mows. there will be much
wheat and rye stacked in the fields

later in the season.
The Berks farmers have not yet

brothers, where the threshing is car
ride on in the fields almost as soon
as the wheat Is cut, although there

which went soaring with the war
