Germane Resist Gallantly.
The final assault was made Friday
night, when the Infantry charged the
middle fort of the first line of de
fense and occupied it after furious
fighting. The Germans resisted gal
lantly, defending the works with
valor which won the admiration of
the Japanese and English forces, but
they were outnumbered, and the Jap

works at any coat. Many of the at

Germans were finally compelled to
give way. and evacuated the fortress,
losing 200 prisoners
The guns of this fort were turned
against the other, and fresh artillery

JACOBS' PHARMACY
NUMBER ONE
Cor. Whitehall & Alabama
the port and capital of the German
leasehold of Kiaochau, were under
fire for 65 days Bart of the time
stormy weather prevented the Anglo-
Japanese fleet from taking part in the
bombardment, but the batteries on the
land side were kept in action inces
santly. Every day when the weather
permitted Japanese aeroplanes flew
over the city and dropped bombs. The
German losses were enormous.
Kaiser Changed Order “to Die.”
At first Emperor William was op
posed to the surrender of the strong
hold, and notified the German govern
or general to “die fighting, but never
surrender.” Later the Kaiser recog
nised the folly of this order, and gave
permission for the surrender of the
place.
With the Japanese in control of
Tsingtao, the ships which were in
action there are now at liberty to go
upon a cruise after the German fleet
in the Pacific. It is likely that this
will be done.
So far as actual hostilities go, the
fall of Tsingtao ends the war in
the Far East. Japan declared war
against Germany on August 23, and
immediately began preparations to
attack Tsingtao. The little German
garrison resisted stoutly, but could
I not hope to hold out against the over
whelming odds opposing them.
Kiaochau was secured by Ger
many in 1897 through a 99-year lease.
It was fortified, and the Germans
spent an immense amount of money
developing the natural resources,
building railroads and fine buildings
and securing trade. The Japanese be
came alarmed at the rapid growth
of German influence In the Orient,
and determined to end it at the first
opportunity. Taking advantage of
her treaty of alliance with England,
Japan entered the war on the side of
the Allies.
Kiaochau lies in the Shantung
Peninsula, and has been known as
‘ the key to Northern China,” on ac
count of its strategic value. It con
tains 117 square miles, and has a pop
ulation of about 60,000.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
ALL ALONG LINE, AFTER
LONG, VIOLENT STRUGGLE
By FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PETROGRAD, Nov. 7—Violent
fighting which has been going on for
weeks culminated yesterday in the
general retreat of the Austrians, it
was officially announced by the gen
eral staff to-day.
"On the previous day,” says the
statement, “the Austrians atompted
a final effort to bent back our troops
who were engaged in crossing the
River San. To a late hour at night
the enemy pushed forward in an of
fensive movement, hut everywhere
was repulsed with heavy loss.
“South of Przemysl the enemy
everywhere is endeavoring to with
draw from the firing line and is be
ing energetically pursued along the
entire front.”
The statement, dealing with the
general situation, follows:
“On October 20 we obtained a de
cided success against the Germans on
the left bank of the Vistula, in the
neighborhood of Warsaw—that is, on
the right wing of o\ir general strate
gic front. The object of our subse
quent offensive was to strike from
the northward on the enemy's front,
which continued to be maintained on
the Vistula and San Rivers.
“In the fighting between October 23
to October 27 we broke down the re
sistance of the Austro-German army,
which was fighting stubbornly in the
region of Kozienice and Ivangorod.
Threatened with having its fiank
turned beyond the Pilitiza River, this
army fell back, pursued by our
troop*.
Resistance Broken Oown.
“Between October 28 and November
2 we overcame the enemy’s resistance
in the region of New’ Alexandra and
Sandomlres. On November 5 the
principal Austrian forces in Galicia
were forced to retreat.
“Developing over a period of eight
een days, our successes along a front
of 500 versts (333 miles) have resulted
in breaking down the resistance of the
enemy, who is now In a general re
treat.
“We owe our victory to the inex
haustible goodness of God, who has
blessed the superhuman heroism of
our warriors, of whom Russia has the
right to be proud. This victory al
lows our troops to proceed to fresh
tasks, which will inaugurate new hos
tilities.”
All Russia Is to-day celebrating
with wild acclaim the victories won
by Russian troops in the campaign
against Germany, Austria and Tur
key. The news that the Austrians
have been driven from the River San
and are in retreat everywhere along
the line, and that the victory was an
nounced as "the greatest won by the
Russians since the war began” has In
creased the enthusiasm among the
populace in the capital. Crowds are
parading the streets, singing the na
tional anthem and cheering for the
Czar.
Bayonet Drives Austrians Out.
A correspondent who was at Kielce.
Russian Poland, describe* the fight
ing In that region as follows:
“This town was occupied by the
Russian forces about noon to-day
(November 3), after a brisk night at
tack. For once we were well forward
and we entered the town with the
Russian troops on the very heels of
the enemy. The oposing forces were
composed both of Germans and Aus
trians.
"Though the action was a rear
guard affair and characteristic of the
fighting which has been prevalent
lately, this retreat seems to have
been marked by a stronger resistance
than usual. The Russians attacked
over a front of about 14 miles, taking
the center about seven miles east of
here by a vigorous attack. The Aus
trians made a strong defense in a
churchyard and in a village, but they
were driven out with the bayonet, as
I can testify from observing the
wounds of the dead. The losses on
both sdes w’ere heavv in this action
and Austrian prisoners to the number
of above a thousand were taken.
Germans Fled in Night.
“After entering the town, I found
that the Germans had left last night,
leaving the Austrians to conduct a
rear guard action, which Beems to be
their policy in all these operations
now. The Austrians did not leave
town until 10 o’clock this morning,
and we entered about noon.
"It w’as a picturesque spectable to
observe the Cossacks and infantry,
soiled with the hard night’s fighting,
and the artillery, fresh from the po
sitions, pouring into the quaint
square which was barely emptied of
the enemy. Our infantry and guns
pushed forw’ard and by afternoon
were again engaging the enemy about
12 miles south and w r est of here.
“The Russians are pushing on with
their advance with the utmost vigor,
averaging in this quarter about 15
miles daily, while certain regiments
op the flanks make nearly 26 miles.
From information given by people in
the villages it is learned that the Ger
mans secured supplies of all sorts, but
that Warsaw and Ivangorod caused
them to abandon their whole project.
“The situation on this front is
splendid, and the troops are in flm
condition and their morale is high.”

“I see no reason why the city should
not allow the structure to remain.”
said Mr. Stewart. “It will afford a
splendid place for the High School

Commander of Salvation Army in
America Explains War Re
lief Campaign Here.
Continued From Page 1.
She will speak also at the Baptist
Tabernacle Sunday morning at 11
o’clock.
The whit© dress Miss Booth wore
when she received her visitors Sat
urday wag symbolic, she explained.
It was made of heavy linen, and on
the left arm and the front of the
waist were blue crosses. It was a
means of showing her devotion to the
“old linen" campaign which she has
inaugurated for the benefit of the
war sufferers in Europe.
“The great war is a frightful
thing,” fhe said, “and against its hor
rors the horrors of Sedan, of Water
loo, and of other conflicts of the past
pale into insignificance. There is
frightful suffering, and, above .all, in
the hospitals among the wounded,
where there is a dearth of hospital
supplies, where crucial operations are
being made without anesthetics,,
where soldiers are tearing the lin
ings from their clothes for bandages,
and where lockjaw flourishes.
Explain* Linen Campaign.
“The ‘old linen’ campaign, then, is
easily explained. It is an appeal to
people everywhere to give for use
among the wounded. We are collect
ing old linen and cotton, sending it
to New York from every point, and
there sterilizing it in a plant that has
been turned over to us. The cloth
thus processed is made into bandages
of specified lengths. Then it is care
fully wrapped, sealed with the blue
cross of the campaign and sent to the
sufferers.”
Miss Booth called for her medicine
cheat, and when it was brought by
an assistant, she took from it a num
ber of carefully wrapped and sealed
packages, which looked even more
professional than drug store parcels.
The cloth, as the Commander unrolled
It, was soft and white and soothing.
“Look at that," she said, enthusi
astically. “Feel it. Would you think
that it was the portion of an old
sheet. It has been sterilized and
made into strips of two inches by five
yards, and is worthy the admiration
of any surgeon.
"The responses of our campaign
are enormous, so much so that our
original quarters in New York have
proved too small. The day before
1 left we wrapped between 18,000 and
20,000 such parcels.
“The cloth comes to us in every
shape, and from every conceivable
original form. There is romance and
human interest in these donations.
For Instance, the very first response
we had was from a Southern woman
who sent the most exquisite bits of
linen I ever saw. They were from the
wedding trousseau of her mother, she
wrote us, and were sent upon the
occasion of her seventy-fifth birth
day. The linen had been hand-woven
of flax on the Southern plantation of
her grandfather in 1865.”
Club Leader at Head.
Mrs. Willivn Granf Brown, of New
York, former president of the City
Federation of Clubs of that city, Is
vice president of the “old linen” cam
paign, and Commander Booth Is
president. The Commander will men
tion the campaign in the course of
her address at the Tabernacle Sun
day morning, explaining that dona
tions of linen and cotton cloth made
to Adjutant Crawford, who is in
charge of the Salvation Army in At
lanta, will he dispatched to the New
York headquarters for sterilization
and preparation and shipment to Eu
rope.
Miss Booth’s air, her gestures, her
tone in greeting her visitors, were
sufficient to explain why she holds
her station as head of the great Sal
vation Army organization with so
much credit. They explain as well

the young woman radiates an impell
ing and dominant personality’, to

face is strong, and yet it flushes
easily, like a child’s. Her voice is
crisp, with a distinct British intona
tion, which is flexibly expressive of
sympathy at times, as when *he talks
of the horrors of the war and the
suffering* of the poor of France and
Belgium, which was the burden of her
conversation with interviewers Sat
urday.

"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no flow

Americans would add no freedom from
catarrh, which is so aggravated during
this month that it becomes constantly

see how any sufferer can put off taking
this medicine, in view of the widely
published record of its radical and per
manent cures. It Is undoubtedly Amer
