TEUTON’S EASTERN DRIVE SLACKING From Gulf of Riga to Grodno Hindenburg’s Armies are at Standstill. ~ London, Sept. 5.—Either the driving power of the Austro-Ger- man offensive against Russia _ is} nearly exhausted or the Ge:man| generals have decided that their armies have penetrated the Rus- sian Emperor’s dominion as far| as is considered safe and are pre- paring to dig themselves in for} the winter. This is the opinion expressed by military writers here. Certainly very little progress is now being made, and at many points the Germans and Austri- ans are contenting themselves with repulsing the counter at- tacks of the Russians. Frum the Gulf of Riga to Grodno, Field Marshal von Hindenburg’s armies are at a standstill, appar- ently having made no attempt to cross the Divna after carrying the bridgheads at Lennewada and Friederichstadt. - To the north, southwest and south of Vilna, the fall of which has been predicted for some days, the Germans are faced by very strong Russian forces, wio by their offensive make it danger- ous for the Germans to push their way eastward, north or suuth of them.

Everybody’s Doin’ It. Sunday the Appleton City. ball team, with the able assistance of the Appleton City umpire, whose name was Wright, but whose guesses were usually.wrong, beat the home team by a score of 8 to 6. It was the best game played here this season. The home team played fast, snappy ball at times and showed that they really can play ball and then just when it looked as though they would win a ball game some one would boot it, the most of Appleton City’s scores being made on errors eith- er of omission or commission on the part of the home players. Appleton City had a team of. sluggers and heady players who took advantage of every oppor- tunity and played the game from start to finish. “System and efficienc is the motto of the modern successful business man.
