Consul General Cheshire reported today from Canton that more than eight million people suffered losses and many millions in distress would need food until the next harvest. "In many places whole villages have y ,-n blotted out, inhabitants and all,” « the report. "The loss of life may never be known, but the suffer ing is appalling. The West River still, at the end of July, is very high, the fields and lands are under several feet of water. “At first we hoped the water might recede more rapidly and the fields be available for the second planting.

Burned Villages Petrograd, (via London, St 13 a. m.) —The Warsaw correspondent of the Novoe Vremya gives this account of the fighting beyond Lublin, Russian Poland: “The Russians were compelled to take several lines of fortifications step by step, ejecting the Austrians from the trenches. I rode along 20 miles of abandoned trenches and saw many guns and much equipment which had been thrown away by the Austrians. “The enemy was deluged with a hail of shrapnel, alternating with gun fire and his line of retreat was mark ed by burning and deserted villages. Along the roads in the direction of Lublin were marching Austrian pris oners who had surrendered in compa nies and battalions. "For six hours I watched the battle. The artillery fire was maintained in the distance above a wood, shrapnel bursting and white clouds rising over the horizon. Suddenly from the wood appeared a black mass which, on growing crealer, was seen to be an Austrian battalion which fled out and surrendered. At night the thunder of the cannon alternated with the crackle of rifle fire. The enemy's artillery was located and silenced by ours.’ 1 IRISH AMERICANS WIN LAURELS Senior National Amatenr Ath letic Championship Goes to New Yorkers.
