I notice in your parade a place for the Ga. Cavalry. Hope you wiil do all for this branch of the service without too much trovble to secure mounts for at leat 40. . Gen. E. G, Gilmore of the Cavalry brigade at Milner, Ga,, writes me that he expects the best time that we have had at any reunion recently at Fitzgerald on the 17 and 18th of August next. Thanking you in advance for all trouble connected with the Re union I am, Respectfully Yours, S. Williams, Adjt. Gen. Cav. Brigade Ga, There is an optimistic toue in official statements from Vienna and Berlin respecting operations in the east, particulary in Russian Poland. There is little in Petrograd’s statemert to contradict Austro-Ger man claims but all of the communications say that fighting of a most desperate nature is in progress and that the Russians, though falling back, are resisting with determination. In the drive toward Warsaw the Russians have been pressed, back or the Blonie-Nadarzvn front. Berlin declares the army of Gen. Von Worysch has driven the Russians into the fortress of Ivangorod, southeast of the capital, and is now closely investing the stronghold with its twelve forts, After weeks of minor engagements, the Austro-Italian cam paign is assuming a degreee of ferocity which puts it on a plane with some of the long-drawn-out and hard fought battles in the other war centers. The Italian offensive movenient on the Isonzo front has developed into a great battle and the losses in men are indicated by the fact that both Austrians and Italians have brought up reinforcements. Rome reports the failure of the Austrian attempt to cut off the Italian left, and a ‘‘noteworthy advance,’’ by the talian forces at several points.

THE “SHORT ROUTE” Scouts Marked Roads for Folkston Meet. FROM TIMES-UNION. That the good roads meeting to take place in Folkston, Ga., next Wednesday, is to be one of importance to this city and state, was the opinion expressed yesterday by John E. Gilbert, of the Imperial Garage, and Myron L. Howard, one of the most enthusi astic good roads boosters here, on their return to the city yester day after their trip in a four-cylinder Saxon runabout to Folkston in two hours and thirty-eight minutes’ running time. Along the route where there would likely be a chance of cars going astray, the road was marked and posted and the travelers stated that everything is in readiness for the run Wednesday. It is said that a visiting party was never treated better at Folkston than was the reception accorded and the courteses extend ed the good roads advocates from Jacksomtville. W. E. Wrentch and the city and county officials and ecitizens agreed that the central route of the Dixie highway is the correct one as it will save the tourist a hundred miles or more. The as surance was given also to Messrs. Gilbert and Howard that ‘the “feeding department’’ for the affair of next Wednesday would be really worked overtime. Hilliard was not one of the slow communities to grasp the im portance of this good roads movement. While there is about a half-mile of heavy sand road there, the assurance was given that this stretch of road will be given a good sawdust coating, work on which begins today. Thus far twenfy-ﬁve cars have been signed up for the trip Wednesday. This party will leave from in front of the Imperial Garage at 8 o’clock next Wednesday morning. During the fore noon they will arrive at Folkston. “I want to tell you that they have watermelons up there as big as a 200-pound man,”’ declared John E. Gilbert, last night, “‘and the good people there told us that there will be plenty of fried chicken and other good things to satisfy the appetite of the Jacksonville tourists Wednesday.”’ :—mm_: Germans Lose Heavily In From® of Novogeorgievsk Berlin, July 22.—General Von Hindenberg’s army is now with in twelve miles of Warsaw and the Russian defenses are under continuous fire.
