It says: "The Germans helrl a position In a small village from which they were pouring a murderouH fire on the Rua •lan troopa. Cavalry was ordered to •lienee the guns. The first squadron rode etreiehl at the battery which, firing point blank, mowed down the Russian ranks frightfully, annihilat ing the squadron.

"North of Neldenburg Monday and ; Monday there was stubborn fighting j In which the Russians were attain vlc i tnrlous, largely through their superb j use of their bayonets.

Editor Herald: Gentlemen: A letter In your columns yesterday signed "Kicker," calling at tention to the washouts on the streets and roads about the city, put the Idea Into my head of saying something about these matters from the motor ist’s point of view. The red gravel which w* have In such abundance here Is one of the best road materials In the world and there Is no reason why we should not have the finest roads In the country. And we do make the, most beautiful road you ever laid your eyes on, but the moment one Is finished we scratch It forever off the visiting list of the chain gang and It Is never touched again, until It becomes Impassable. If the chain gang would only take Its stitches In time, what a lot of stitches It would save! A little gully formed by one rain, that could be filled with a wheel harrow full of earth, Is left for six months or a year or two years, until it takes oar loads of gravel and weeks of time to make It right again. If you wart to see one of these placed go out on Troupe Street, two hundred or so yards south of Judge Eve's cor ner. You will think at first It is the Grand Canyon. Another pleasing little trick we have here Is to make a perfect street, pound It and hammer it and sand paper it until It Is like a tennis court, and then DIG A DITCH ACROSS IT. We ap parently find at the last moment that It Is imperative to have a gas pipe laid. What a pity we had not thought of II a week before, when the road was being prloughed. It is like those crazy demoralized hens that decide at the very last minute that the other side of the street Is the place for them. Of course the new made ditch across the finished road never heals. There Is nothing to be done about It. All the rollers and pounders on earth would not efface It. It remains to the end of time Just one more bump. It will never get weU. And this Is not an ex aggeration. I can, If you like, mention half a dozen Instances where this thing has been done In the last six months. MOTORIST. A BRILLIANT BIGHT. To ths Editor of The Herald: Dear Sir: Some time ago I had oc casion to meet a. visitor to this city from Atlanta, arriving on the one o’clock (a. m.) Georgia train, and 1 drove this gentleman out to my place in Woodlawn over the new Archie Butt Memorial Bridge. He remarked on the splendor and magnificence of the structure, which was at that time newly opened, and seemed more par ticularly impressed with the fact that the lights were going In full force. ll is Indeed a fine sight to eee the bridg* at night. There is a sense of prosperity nnd glamor about this blase of light which burns all through the silent watches. It makes on feel that Augusta Is a considerable nnd Wide-awake city. Extravagance al ways creates the Impression of wealth. And in my opinion It Is quite proper ami worth while to have them burning all night. Rome nights of course no body may happen to pass by to see them, but another night some stran ger of consequence may be cheered up by the sight as was my friend. I be lieve In putting n table-cloth on tbs table nnd rating with n knife and fork ns much when you are all alone as when you have a dinner party. It keeps up your self respect. Don’t get sloppy Just because nobody Is looking. And therefore T like to feel that the lights are burning on the bridge while we are all asleep But, Mr. Editor, the City of Augus ta Is even yet more magnificent than this. Those lights on the bridge hum not only all night, but half the time all day. Whoever has charge of the switch board ts so Imbued with the feeling of aggrandizement that ne stops not at all to consider such a sordid question as expense and simplv forgets to turn off the lights. All day these beautiful lights blase In the face of the sun. Think how grand a place the sun must think Augusta Is! W. J. S.

GA. TODAY’S WAR NEWS CONDENSED Official report* In Vienna announce a complete Austrian victory In a three days battle at Krasmlk, in Russian Poland. The Russian force* were repulsed along the entire front and are In full flight In the direc tion of Lublin. This Is the first indication of an Austrian advance into Russian territory. Krasmlt Is about 20 miles north of the Gaiaclan frontier. It was announced officially in Berlin today that Lleut.-Gen. Fred eric of Saxe-Melnlngen, had been killed at Namur. This apparently clears up the identity of the German nobleman reported yesterday and today as having lost his life In battle. A news dispatch received in London from Antwerp says the Amer ican minister to Belgium, Brand Whitlock, ha* sent an energetic pro test to the German government against the hurling of bombs into Ant werp from a Zeppelin airship. Almost simultaneously came news from Antwerp that a second but Ineffectual raid on the city by a Zeppelin had been attempted last night. Secretary Bryan denied that Minister Whitlock had any instruc tions to make representations regarding the Zeppelin attacks. A pro test against that method of warfare was presented to the state depart ment by the Belgian minister at W ashington. The French war office was silent this morning, the usual official announcement not being made. Unofficial military opinion, however, is that the fighting along the French- Belgian frontier continues. A news dlßpatch from Paris hays that in Lorraine the allied armies have taken up a combined of offensive movement and that the situation In the Vosges is unchanged. The battle continues in the region of Lune vllie and the French troop-' are said to be making progress. A dispatch from Antwerp reports that all German troops are believed to have left Brussels and that the Belgians expect to re-occup> the city Immediately. This news, however, lacks confirmation. A dispatch received from Vienna declarer Austria-Hungary has de clared war on Japan. According to telegrams from Nish, Servia, the losses of the Austrians in the battle of the Drlna continue to grow. They are now given at 15,000 killed, 30,000 wounded and 13,000 prisoners. Three hundred thou sand Austrians are said to have taken part in this engagement. Dispatch from the general staff at St. Petersburg announce fresh victories for Russia against both Germany and Austria. Russian troops are now said to occupy the whole of the eastern and southern half of eastern Prussia. The Russian armies are declared of ficially to be continuing on the offensive. A news dispatch from St. Pe tersburg describes the Russian center, composed of the great bulk of th® Russian array as marching "silently, but with terrible force,” on Peson, in Prussia. The authorities at St. Petersburg have issued orders dismissing the German and Austrian sovereigns and princes from honorary colonelships In Russian regiments and depriving them of Russian decorations. Th.s has never before been done in any war. Rome reports the receipt by the Italian government of a telegram from General Conrad, chief of the Austrian staff, characterizing as ab solutely without foundation the reports that Austria-Hungary has ag gressive Intentions against Italy. News dispatches from Ostend convey the belief there that Germany will occupy Ostend for use later as a base of naval operations again:, t England. Ostend is t>6 miles from the flrltigh coast. The North German Lloyd steamer Princess Alice has put Into the port of Cebux, in the Phil ippine Islands with a hole In her stern.

The American em bassy at Rome through the consuls in Italy has advised all Americans in Italy to return home while communication between Europe and the Unit ed States is possible. The Belgian royal family will abandon its temporary residence in Antwerp, establishing themselves in a Beeret place In the elty. This step Is taken because Ihe attack of the Zeppelin Is said to have been directed principally ngainst King Albert. 920,000 GIVEN TO MEDICAL COLLEGE Will be for Library. Dr. Wm. J.
