The Ger mans in aid of the hard pressed armies on the Austrian frontier at tempted to drive in with an over whelming force along the line from Nordenburg to Goldap upon the Rus rian base. At the same time Russia had been drawing upon its forces in east Prussia for reinforcements against the Austrian front. Thus the German attempt was well timed. Gen.

Dif ferent Now. London, 3:20 a. Paris cor respondent of the Daily Mail, explain ing General Joffre’s success, says: "The reward of praise be chiefly Joffre’s. It was not always kindly that the name of Joffre was mention ed during the retreat from the fron tier, though the chorus of praise now would make one think confidence had never waned. He has had the cour age to expose himself to the danger of contempt and the criticism of his country to realize his plan for final victory. General Joffre recently said: Two Methods. “ ‘There are two methods of mak ing war, one is to employ troops in masses and the other to sigh. in ex tended order. The former is the Ger man method. It is Immensely costly In life but they can afford It for two reasons, the immense superiority in numbers and the fact that their men are disciplined to mechanical obed ience that they fight best when close ly held together under the personal command of their officers. “ ’The extended order is th. French way. The French soldier does not fight well wedged together and he be comes Impatient under constant com mand and mechanical discipline. Can't Meet Them. “In the open country I can’t meet troops in a mass and of greatly supe rior numbers with extended troops. To have the best chance for success I must fight in such a position that the battlefield is limited to the strong fortresses which will support the ex tended lines of the French and by limiting the front will hamper the movements of the Germans.’ “This is what Joffre has done, re tired to the narrowest part of France between Paris and Verdun. The suo cess of his strategy is amply shown.” HARRIED THE STRANDED AIRMEN German Aviators Attacked by French Peasants With Scythes and Pitchforks. Spend Anxious Hours. Berlin, via London, 12:05 p. m.—ln teresting stories of the experiences of German aviators have been received here. Two who were forced to land from their machine near a hostile Belgian village because of motor trouble were attacked by the local residents, armed with shot guns. One of the Germans succeeded In seizing the village magistrate as a hostage and while he kept his pistol at this official’s head his compaion repaired the motor. They then made the mag istrate mount the aeroplane which luckily was able to ascend with three passengers and sped away. DAZED AND STUNNED Two other aviators whose machine was wrecked by a fall in the midst of the enemy’s country, were dazed and stunned by the accident and were im mediately attacked by a group of French peasants armed with pitch forks and scythes. The Germans held these men at bay with their revolvers until they reached the dense woods in which they hid. Peasants and soldiers hunted them systematically for days. They spent anxious hours crouching In holes like rabbits while their pursuers fired shotguns and rifles Into every suspected thicket. They lived on beets and the only water they had was dew which they sucked froth leaves. Their minds al most gave way under the strain and they were burning with fever when a German patrol found them. OFFICIAL ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR DATES CHANGED Atlanta, Ga—Georgia farmers and other busy folks have cause to thank the last legislature for one good law at least—that changing the date of the official election, which becomes effective this year. Under the old law the election for governor and other state officials would come early In October, but for years this election, following the dem ocratic primary, has been purely a formality and a useless expense. Under the new law this election will be held on the first Monday af ter the first Tuesday In November, on the same date as the national elec tion for congressmen, so that the vo ters will be called out but once.
