Each district, one north and the other south of the Southern Pacific 'and Western Pacific tracks, demanded that tt get a portable school.

The Stonehurst people based their claims on their growth in the put few years, and the Elmhurst people their claims on the greater number of children. "We have working men down In South Elmhurst!" said J. A. Hal-pruner, owner of a medicine factory In the Elmhurst district. Workmen have children.

The rich people In Stonehurst don't have any. Rich people are too busy to have them. They live up high on the hills where they don't have them, and the work.

The armies of Germany and Austria-Hungary are being held by the Russians to the west of Warsaw, but they are making progress elsewhere on the eastern front, according to the official statements emanating from Berlin and Vienna, their most determined attack evidently being that directed against Wyszkow, a town 35 miles northeast of Warsaw. Pursuing their policy of cutting the communications of Grand Duke Nicholas, heavy German forces are attacking the railroad linking the main Warsaw-Petrograd line with Ostro-lenka. The latest dispatch direct from Warsaw, coming from a correspondent of the Associated Press and dated July 31, shows that conditions in the threatened Polish capital are much better than were indicated In the latest direct dispatches to the London newspapers which were sent July 29. The later information Btates that the people are returning to their homes and that the life of the capital is resuming a normal aspect, although the official establishments have made all preparations for the expected evacuation, the French and Belgian consulates being placed in the hands of the American consul. In the west fighting again is In progress on the British section of the battle front and there has been a resumption of Infantry activity with the French admitting that the Germans have captured some trenches In the Argonne and the Marie Therese districts, but claiming that counter attacks have won back a portion of the lost ground.
