FLOOD RAVACES
 WERE NUMEROUS

The damage created by the flood of last week is much and. while the monetary loss is not great. much expense will be necessary before things are restored to their former standing.
 Probably the greatest individual loss will be that of the Sunnyside greenhouse. of which the greater portion was washed into the river. Most of the structure, which was about 100 feet long, was lost, many hundreds of panes of glass being destroyed and the. work of years carried. away. Throughout the town the crosswalks have been carried off their foundations, and in some instances left lying many feet from their original positions. The Pio- neer dock will require the expendi- ture of large sum before it is put into a thoroughly usable condi- tion. On the lower waterfront the piling has been carried out in many places and the ballasting on the riprapping carried out. The street has been narrowed in many places by the carrying out of the earth. Those houses which were partially inundated have thick deposit of silt over the floor and on the arti- cles of furniture which were under water The loss of many days for making gardens in those low spots will be greatly felt by those who anticipated raising their winter sup ply of vegetabels.
 In many places minor damages have been reported, principally to supplies that were stored in the cellars that were flooded.

ELDORADO MADE LARGE SUM FOR
 THE RED CROSS

From Little EldoradO comes the report of a dance held there last Saturday night for the benefit of the Red Cross. The ladies of that creek much desired to do their bit for the good work and organized with such good effect that large sum was raised.
 The chief means of raising the money were dancing. fortune telling. rIffling and refreshments. From the three latter the sum of $141.5O was taken in and the amount of the dance brought the total up to $301.
 The ladies of Little Eldorado wish to extend special credit to the fol- lowing: Mrs. Ali Andresen, Mrs. Hans Hess, Mrs. J. A. WeltZin and Miss lngrid Ferguson. for the dona- tions that were rallied off; to Mrs. Frank McGarvey, who conducted the refreshment booth. and to Miss D'Orsay, who. in the guise of Il fortune teller. did much 10 add to th6 receipts.
 The patriotism of the people from this section of the creeks can not be questioned when it comes to sup porting the war movements of the country, as they have always re- spunded with good grace and ready pockets in all affairs previously held, and it was for the purpose Of further adding to the funds being raised that the ladies conceived the idea of holding d bazaar and dance.
 Many thanks are extended to those residing on Cleary, Dome Vault and other creeks for their attendance, and also to the miners on Little Eldorado. as it was by the com bned liberalty that such a large amount was raised,

 It was thought that the month of April would be the highest in the funds history locally, but through the energetic efforts of those work ing for the fund at Panama. Mrs. Louis G. Selk at the Ft Gibbon post and Mrs Frank O'Farell at Panama, the fund was materially increased. There was acknowledged the sum of S640.25 before the close of the month This amount was boosted still higher by the final payment of one donor to the yearly support and two other donations, one locally and one from Panama, The fund there would read as follows for the month of May:
 Previously acknowledged ....s64O25 Mrs. Rose Rickard ....... 3050 People of Panama ........... 900 French Glasses .............. 300 Total for May ............ S6S2.I , IL is doubtful if soon again there will be such grand showing made for the orphans. although it is pre- dicted that the donations for this month will be heavy. The acknowl- edgments of the amounts made so far for the month of June will ap- pear tomorrow.

The song recital given at the Audi torium last evening by Miss Ruth Lamb was well attended by the musicloving public of Fairbanks and was a great artistic success.
 The young singer has very pleasing personality and a graceful stage presence, with an entire ab- sence of stage mannerisms. and looked most charming in an ex- quisite gown of pale blue satin with silver trimmings Her choice of songs was excellent, being of dainty. bright and joyous character which seem particularly adapted to her natural talents, requiring bright ness and flexibility of voice, and her excellent technique and breath control reflect great credit upon her instructor. MT. Percy A. k. Dow of San Francisco, Calif In all her work Miss Lamb displayed vocal proficiency and musical intelligence, and while she does not possess great volume or breadth of tone, her voice is eXquiStely sweet and fleXi- undoubtedly come with future study. for Miss Lamb is a very young girl with many years in which to develop natural talent. She received many recalls, and some beautiful flowers at the close of the recital. Mrs. J. c. Savers, as accOmpanist, played in her usual faultlgss style. adding much 10 the work of the young singer.

PLEASING FEATURE
OF .CHAUTAUQUA

II enjoyed Miss Kings play more

ing out of the tent. You folks with
eyes saw only one person while I saw
eight people" Miss King had made
him see all the characters in THE
Truth" That is the supreme art of
eading-making all the characters
seen.
For four consecutive seasons Miss
King was the star reader for the Lin
coin Chautauqua System, which incl
dentally explains why she has not ap-
peared in Richmond before. The Lin
coin people have four circuits and she
travelled each one. They also have
a policy of never repeating their tai
ent on the same circuit So having
no more circuits to travel Miss King
must seek new fields. She first de-
cided to rest year and then later de-
cided to read for few of the larger
Independent assemblies. Richmond
was the first one she booked and
treat is in store for all who can get in
the tent to hear her.
In addition to being platform
reader with a national reputation Miss
Killing has been state organizer for the
Drama league. She is an ardent suf-
fragist and has done picket duty" in
Washington. d. c. She is intensely
loyal and patriotic, interested in pub
lie affairs, and has achieved an en-
viable reputation as a lecturer in the
Red Cross and Liberty loan cam
paigns. Clever, witty and entertain
ing; well educated and of charming
personality; wholesome American
woman and an honor to any platform
upon which she appears. She knows
how to reach the sympathies of her
audience and will undoubtedly prove
one of the most interesting readers
that has appeared on the Richmond
program.
Sunday evening, Aug. IS, she will
present THE Truth by Clyde Fitch,
anad on Monday afternoon will read

been sold even now, and the prospects
are that all will be used.
The camp sites which were used
last year are al taken. but new
streets have been opened up and sew

MILLION ENEMY
SOLDIERS LOST
WITHOUT GAIN
Foch in Three Weeks Wipes
Out German Gains of Four
Months.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 14.-(By the Associ
ated Press.)-After the battle of the
Avre the situation OF the belligerents
presents change which for rapidity
and extent has rarely been approached
In military history. Marshal Foch BY
his strategy and the mastery tactics
OF the generals under him have In
three weeks wrested from the Germans
what required four months for them to
obtain, at cost variously estimated
at from 100000 to 100000 men.
The immediate results Of the counter
offensives are the clearing of the Cha.
teau Thierry pocket. ending the men
ace to Epernay and Paris, the liberia
ton OF Montdidier, ending the menace
to Amiens; the freeing of the impor-
tant eastern railroad line from Paris
to Chalons and the equally important
northern line from Paris to Amiens,
restoring to the allies enormously
greater ease in troop movements.
Render Lines Safe.
These successes make impossible
any rupture Of the line which would
separate the French armies OF the
center from those to the east, or a
rupture Of the junction between the
French and British. The most disas-
trous consequence to the Germans,
aside from the heavy losses they sus-
tanned In men and material, Is the COL
lapse OF their plan to drive a wedge
into the allied lines and the subse-
quent widening and joining which
would have threatened general dislo-
cation.
Marshal Foch's strategy in reducing
the salient wedges wrested the initia-
tive In operations from the Germans,
at once obliging them either to order
a general retreat to strong line such
as the Somme. or to engage reserves.
The enemy adopted the second alter
native, which, having failed. makes
eventual retirement immensely more
difficult.
Footing on Thiescourt.
The first phase of the battle of the
Avre finds the French with a footing
upon Thiescourt plateau. west of Noy-
on, which has vital importance in
future operations. The Germans must
either capture 1t at high cost, II they
can. or abandon Noyon. which means
the fall of Roye and Lasigny. which
already are under imminent menace OF
capture.
The disaster which menaced Gen.
Won Hutier's army has been averted
for the moment. The few narrow
passages which now are open for the
withdrawal OF his stores are so har-
raised by the bombs OF aviators and
the fire OF heavy artillery that prompt
escape is impossible, rendering prob
able a desperate effort by the Germans
to cling to their 1914 line.
