The big days will be Tuesday, Wednes day. Thursday and Friday. There are cheap rates on all of the railroads and every in-earning train Tuesday brought hundreds of people to the fair. The agricultural exhibits and the "made in Augusta” exhibits, as well as exhibits by Augusta merchants, the art exhibits, and various other exhibits in the main fair building are attract ing much attention. The livestock building is, of course, one of the most attractive features of the entire fair. Some of the finest breeds of hogs, cattle, sheep, goats and horses are to be seen in this building and it is believed that the farmers of this section of Georgia and South Carolina will find an inspiration in what they see at the fair and go home determined to raise less cotton and more livestock. The joultry building, as usual is a scene of a great interest because there are hundreds of thoroughbred chickens on exhibition that are attracting a great deal of attention.

London, 10:16 a. m.— The German at tacks on the allied lino near the Bel gian coast between Nleuport and Dlx mude. similar tactics by the allies in Franca between Arras and Royo, where progress is claimed, a continued allied assault on Lille, still held by Germans, ami stubborn fighting In the vicinity of bt. Mihiel where for days the alliea lui,ve been trying to drive the Germans from their southernmost lodgment, were tile acute points today in tbs sprawling battle array of France and Belgium. Following Ostand'a Taking. The communications issued in be half of the allies last night enabled Britons to visualize for the first time in tea days the approximate hatUe line after croseing the Belgian fron tier and showed how the allies, during •he days of censorship, were throwing their forces westward to meet the in evitable German advance which fol lowed the taking of Ostend. In Thick of It. The fighting Is centering only a few utiles southwest of tjstend and the Belgian army heretofore reported as having repulsed the Germans on the banks of the River Yser, ts again in the thlek of the flfjht, being credited with bending back the German line as fur as Routers, Belgium, 13 miles northwest of Courtral, which point they aer said to be holding. Not Confirmed. A despatch dated merely “north of France” says that the allies have re taken ttstend, but tilts is not confirm ed and is at variance with the Ger man contention, that they liave reach ed the neighborhood of Dunkirk, whose inhabitants, as well as those of Bou logne, are In a state of panic. If thu HUMUS II H.M|no‘,| Hutpioq OJR sui:|g|.)H incredible that the Germans have ad vanced so far as that would mean a complete bending back of the allied left which rests on the < oast west of Ostend. Sea of Mud. Torcntlal rains have made the fiat country a sea of mud and this, with file network of canals, makes a move ment of German guns extremely diffi cult. The Germans are still bringing up reinforcements, a message from Amsterdam saving that troops of all anils are steadily moving westward be lt* Weetcren and Termonde, to wards the French frontier. As Failure. The London press |* unanimously hailing the German attempt to sweep through Belgium to the north Franco coast towns as a failure. It may he true that the progress from Ostcn.l lias been slower than the usual Im petuous German rush, but It seems premature to say that they have failed. News from the east slews no no table change In the battle lines. Tha Russians contend that the Germans are still neld on the Vistula and daw rivers.
