RUSSIANS ARE
DESERTING
LEAVE FREE ROAD OPEN TO ON
RUSHING AUSTRO - GERMANS
NUMEROUS TOWNS ARE
TAKEN BY THE TEUTONS.
Thursday's Dispatch:
Even the catual entry of women
soldiers into battle on the eastern
front has been insufficient to imbue
lithe ranks of the tecalcitrant Rus
sians with patriotism. They are still
deserting in larsre numbers in Galicia.
leaving a virtually free road open for
fresh advances by the Germans and
Austro-Hungarians.
From the Baltic to the Black sea
only at one point, along the line in
the southern Carpathians, have the
Russians risen to the ccasion and
shown some of their old fighting
spirit. Here fighting shoulded to
shoulder with their Rumanians allies,
they have attacked -and captured sev
eral villages from the Germans and
broken the heavily fortified Teuton
line on a wide front.
In Galacia, the precipitate retreat
of the Russians continues almost ev
erywhere from the Carpathians foot
hills to the region arund Tarnopol,
the government apparently not yet
haring had time to put in, force its
strong repressive measures which M.
Kerensky, the head of the govern
ment, has promised to apply in order
to stay the retreat.
Many Towns Taken
Nadvorna, in the fringe of the foot
hills, Stanislau and Tarnopol and nu
merous smaller towns have been tak
en by the Teutons, who are now ap
proaching the important railroad
junction of Buezacz, which lies some
thirty miles east of Halich. The Ger
man emperor was an observer of the
battle fi the Sereth front and saw
his men put down the only affort of
moment that was made to hold them
back an attack bv the Russians be
tween Tarnopol and Trembowla.
Since the penetration of the Ger
man lines on a wide front near Krevo,
in which the "command of death,"
composed of women, took a notable
part, despite which targe numbers ot
the Russians ignomiiously retreated
to their old positions without even the
vestige of harassment by the enemy,
the Russians have not stirred fiom
their trenches to face the foe.
The hostilities on the Aisne front,
where for weeks the Germans have
wasted men bv thousands in meffectu
al attempts to break through Genora4
Petain's front, hnve ceased and only
artillery dus are now in progress.
Early Wednesday morning witnessed
one of the last attempts of the Crown
prince to gain his objective, this
was on the Cnlifornie plateau, where
an attack was completely repulsed.
German Success in West
The Germans have been successful
in winning 200 yards of trefiches fronvj
the British east of Monchy-le-l'roux,
which they had bombarded violently
for several days past. In the capture
of the rosttion the enemy again re
sorted to the use of liquid fire. Along
the front in northern Belgium the
heavy artillery duel continues, but as
yet there has been no. sign of either
the British or the Germans starting
an infantrv atlack. British airmen
have bombed and caused severe dam
age to the German submarine base at
Zeebrugge and also to the town cf
Burges.
Geamr.n submarines or mines las
week were responsible for the sinking
of twenty-one British nurchant ves
sels of more than 1,600 tons each and
three of less than 1,600 tons. In ad
dition 'a submarine has sunk the Brit
ish mechant cruiser Otway with the
loss of ten men killed, while a Ger
man report says that a Teutonic U
boat has accounted for a British un
derwater craft.
In Wilkes last week hailstorms
damaged crops in some sections. C.
II. Colvard lost three stacks of
wheat, burned by lightning, and a
mule Qf D. M. Hall was killed by
lightning. . ,

NO HOPE OF
EARLY PEACE
COLLAPSE OF RUSSIAN WAR
MACHINERY MAKES IT S&
RIOUS FOR THE ALLIES HAS
DIRECT BEARING ON JTIE
UNITED STATES.
Washington, July 25. No attempt
is made here to minimize the serious
ness of the situation in 'the war thea
ters in Europe. The United States
is in the war and will go through
with it; but any hope of a short
struggle has gone glimmering with
the apparent almost complete col
lapse of the Russian war machine.
The development was not unexpect
ed by many army officers. When the
offensive of July 1 was started by the
Russian forces, the most frequent
comment heard here was that it was
probably the dying kick of the old
Russian machine.
For the United States, the Russian
collapse may have an immediate and
direct bearing. .It will, if the German
general presses its advantage, release
additional German forces to bolster
up the western, front where American
troops are to be engaged. The Ger
man line in the west has not been
seriously impaired at any point, offi
cers believe. They do not claim to
know the situation along the battle
front, but they are unable to see that
the British and French have wrested
from the Germans any key position
of such' importance that it can be
used next year to hurl the enemy
back. It has been noted, in fact, that
the one strategic advantage gained
in recent fighting was gained by the
Germans. Many officers here believe
that when a small sector of the Brit
ish line in BelgiunVwas overwhelmed
and its defenders nearly captured or
killed, the Germans improved the sit
uation on their weakest front mate
rially. That view is based on the
opinion that the only hope of decisive
attainments for the allies in the west
lies in rolling up the German right
flank where it reaches the sea in
Belgium.
U-Boat Bases
If that could be done, it is argued
that the U-boat bases could bs stamp
ed out and the only offensive instru
ment of the Germans be eliminated
entirely or made ineffective.
The big question is whether it could
be done. It would require combined
army and navy operations on that
part of the Belgian coast held by the
Germans, for it would be necessary
to force a landing behind their line
and force the whole right flank back
from the sea as a result.
The price Qf a victory of this na
ture against the U-boats and German
shore batteries probably would be ap
palling, and there is nothing to indi
cate that he effort is being seriously
considered at the present. However,,
manv army men, both here and in
Great Britain, favor some such des
perate attempt to bring the struggle
to a conclusion.
Reports received from Frar.ae give
no cheering picture of whtit must be
done. There appears to be no doubt
that the allied line can stand against
any force Germany can bring against
it. Even the Russian disaster does not
affect the situation. But to gather the
necessary strength for a successful
offensive will take time and ample
sea transportation facilities, if the
United States is to furnish the needed
surplus 0 men, airplanes and muni
tions and' food.
"DAIRY FARMS"
To the Editor of The Star:
The demands for dairy products
will be tthe greatest the world has
ever known this coming winter and
for years to come, according to all
reports and now is your chance to
get your share not only dairy pro
ducts but everything else that is to
eat Therg will be three military
camps near She.by; one n. 1 'imotte,
one at Greenville and one at Spart
anburg. There will be something like
ninety thousand men at these three
camps, and it will take lots to feed
them. Each week these three camp3
will consume about forty five thou
sand pounds of butter and about thir
ty siK hundred djozen eggs and so on.
Are we prepared ito meet sucn a de
mand, and take"care of the other
trade? I say no, but we must start
now to do our part. It will be to
your good to buy more cows, pigs,
chicketis, etc "NOV" It 'o3 ood
for dairy farmers this winter. The
patrons of the Shelby Lreamery are
gettkig 33 1,3 per cent more for but
ter fat this summer man last sum-
imer and I believe they will get moe,
a great deal more this coming winter.
Prepare now, buy more and better
cows.
