Mr. Isidor Gelders, :
My Dear Sir: '
Your most welcome and interesting letter of the 18th is be
fore me, also copy of arrangements which I certainly think is fine.
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.

.of British deteats in Irak are de
clared to be unfounded.

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.”’
