LONDON, Aug. 29. There are yet
!-o ul.sns of the slackening of the
'orrnan pursuit of the retreating
lliissians and according to the of
flclil roport Issued In Berlin today,
progress has been made In all seo
Hons c-t the eastern battle. l'ne ex
cept In iiortnern Courland, where the
r miles of Grand Duke Nicholas are
offering an effective resistance.
Speculation again is being Indulged In
as to whether the Germans Intend to
follow the Russians further or prepare
positions Trom which they can hold the
Muscovites, while the Teutons attempt
an offensive in the Balkans or In the
western line in France and Belgium.
Must Indicate Plan.
Military observers here are of the opin
ion that this question mutt be settled
before many days have elapsed, arguing
that with the summer coming to an
end any ventures propsed for the fall
must soon develop.
TU artillery has been the chief modo
of warfare on the western line. The
most activity has been displayed here
by the guns of the allies, which have
been shelling; virtually the entire German
line. In addition, the allies have been
using their air craft in large squadrons
to bombard German positions.
It ts being vaguely hinted here that
mid-October has been chosen as the time
for the long-postponed "big push" of the
allies, but the general publio does not
expect strong offensive movement.
"There baa been more heavy fighting
on the Galllpoll peninsula, according to
the Turkish official report This claims
that the allies suffered heavily in a series
of attacks last Friday."

BERLIN, Aug. 29. The Austro-Oerman
troops have broken tie Russian lines
along the Zlota-Upa river in east Gallcla,
the Teutons resuming activity on a sec
tion of the front where for a long time
they have been merely holding their posi
tions. The Russian extreme (eft, which hitherto
has been unaffected by the general de
feat, now apparently is shaken and In
volved in the general r j'lremr Mili
tary experts express the belief that the
invaders soon will be expelled from that
little corner in Gallcla, where alone they
l ave been able to maintain a foothold on
Austrian soil.
New Move in Sooth.
This development together with the
sharp advance by the Austrlans north
east of Kovel, is believed here to indi
cate the opening of a campaign against
the fortress triangle formed by the
strongholds of Lutsk. Dubno and Rovno,

New Break in River
Levee in Arkansas
LITTLE KOCIC, Ark . Aug. 29. A new
break today In the White river levee,
this time ten miles above Des Arc, flooded
another lurge area of farm land, but
ample warning ena' led th Inliab tants tc
reach places of safety with most of their
personal possessions, aHho.gh they suf
fered heavy losses in crops.
Except for this break, the flood situa
tion improved materially. The break
caused the river to fall slightly at Des
Arc, and ita effect was expected to be
fe't tomorrow upstream, where the river
continued - to rise today. Newport has
begun the task of restoration where the
flood wrought ruin, an refugees have

TWO ARE ORDAINED
TO PREACH GOCPZL
Bishop Fouke of Chicago Presides
at United Evangelical Confer
ence Held in This City.
TALKS TO Y0UNO PREACHERS
Bishop W. H. Pouke of Chicago
ordained two young Nebraska men
to the ministry of the United Evan
gelical church yesterday afternoon
befovo an audience that completely
filled the First United Evangelical
church, 2420 Franklin street.
The two men were J. L. Lobaugh
of Rosedale Neb., ordained as dea
con and J. H. Kohler of Cozad Neb.,
as elder.
Assisting Bishop Fouke were Pre
siding Elder I. II. Holderman, Kear
ney district, Presiding Elder M. T.
Maze Llnooln district; J. H. Wil
liams, a former presiding elder from
Blue Springs; S. B. Dlllow a former
presiding elder from Hastings, and
A. E. Miller, Blue Springs, secretary,
of the conference.' '
The day was filled with activities, be
ing the principal flay In point of religious
features in the nineteenth annual ses
sion of the Platte River conference of
the United Evangelical conference which
will come to a close today with the ap
pointment of about 100 stationary preach
ers of the denomination to various
charges throughout Nebraska.
The keynote of Bishop Fouke's address
to the candidates for ordination was
"service."
"No matter how small or seemingly
unimportant your charge may be, do
your work as faithfully as though you
had the biggest congregation," he ad
vised. "I am going to a certain small couh-
try church next Sunday frorn which thir
teen ministers and seven ministers
wives have sprung to lives of usefulness.
And so yo may be doing a great work
even thouh you do not see great re
sults around you. It may be that God
has appointed you to sow the seed of the
"Word and that others who come after
you shall reap the harvest. But you
shall have your rewara none the less.
Servants of the Church.
"You are servants of the" church, not
commanders. But It is a Wescd thing
to be a servant Moses was the servant
of God's. So was David and so was
Daniel, and Joshua, too. And Christ
himself was the servant of God. ' came
not to be ministered unto, but to mln-
V later,' he said. . And when his disciples
1 were quarreling among themselves as to
which would be the greatest In the
, kingdom of God he rebuked them by
washing their feet.
' "Don't perform your duties for a sal
j ary. This does not mean that you
I should not receive a salary, and a good
salary, too. God does not take his min
isters home on 8unday night and feed
and clothe and give them a place to
sleep all through the week. Yet they
have to eat and sleep and support their
families the same as other men."
The bishop asserted that In the record
of new churches built there is nothing
elsewhere in Christian annals to excel
that of the United Evangelical church.
Last evening B. H. Nleble, Harrisburg,
Ta., general secretary of the missionary
and church extension societies of the de
; nomination, preached the annual mis
sionary sermon before the conference.

President Theodore Roosevelt tonight Is
sued another lengthy statement in reply
to Secretary of War Garrison In the
controversy brought about by Mr. Roose-
ivelt's Plattsbuig speech. Colonel Rooah-
vtlt took Issue with the secretary on the
administration's attitude toward Mex
ico and Haiti. He also called attention
to what he called the unpreparedness
of the American fleet, saying In part:
"I point out to him that for nearly
two years In 1913 and 1914 the ships of
the navy were never exercised In fleet
maneuvering, and, as I am reliably In
formed, were never exercised In fleet or
squadron gunnery.
What Child of Nix Knows.
"A moderately Intelligent child of six
knows that the failure for two years
to undertake such meneuvera means a
literally criminal deterioration In tho
fleet and cannot possibly mean anything
else. No expert knowledge is needed on
this point; It is a mere matter of or
dinary common sense.
"The very great falling off In the
gunnery that was shown by. the results
lant spring and the early part of the
summer are directly due to this culp
able misconduct In handling our navy;
and it represents unpreparedncss of the
very worst kind because unprcparednesa
that takes the shape of letting the weap
ons that have been made ready utterly
deteriorate is even worse than failure to
provide r.ew weapons."

To Give Nvy Guns
--Greater Elevation
WASHINGTON. Aug. S9.-Maln bat
teries of American battleships hereafter
will be given an elevation of thirty de
grees, practically doubling the present
angle of fire, according to a decision
reached by the Navy department ex
perts, It Is said, after close study of all
available Information on naval engage
ments of the European war. Wherever
possible ships now under construction
and those already in commission, it Is
understood, will be similarly fitted.
The effect of the change will be to
Increase materially the range of tho
navy's fnurteen-lnch guns and also to
make gunfire more accurate In rough
weather. Tho guns now have sufficient
range to reach anything within tho
limit of vlaon at sea, and the added ele
vation will enable them to hurl shells
at objects far beyond the horlion or over
bills of considerable slae In bombarding
land fortifications.
Navy officers have heeded closely In
formation of the battles of the North
Bea and off the Falkland Islands In
reaching their determination, It la said.
Doth were fought at almost the extreme
range of the biggest guns engaged. '
