SANQIINARY FIGHTING ON IMPORTANT FRONTS latest Oi'licial Reports Tell of Desperate Battles Waged in Every Great Field. Hard fighiing on all the important "battle fronts is shown by the latest; official ret orts, not the least desperate j engagements occurring in Servia j "where the Teutonic invasion is mak-1 icg further progress, Berlin says. Field Marshal von Mackensen in Ser-: via, reports the storming of Vranova mountain, south of Semendria, and of Smoljie village east of Pozarevac, while Bulgarian troops are declared to have * forced frontier passes at severalj points on the southern border and to i have taken the eastern forts of Zaje-| car, five miles over the border in Ser-: via and about 40 miles northeast of j Kish. Special dispatches from Xish esti-' mate the Teutoniic losses in the Ser-1 vian campaign up to Thursday night j as 2">,00u killed and 60,000 wounded. I These adwces say that a German army j attempting to turn to Servian right j wirier ot Qomonrlrio was r^rivpri hsiflr t ?nto the Danube marshes near the Semendria fortress. Heavy reinforcements for the Germans in the Pozarevac section are reported on the way. i , . I .

Porto Lasos. jVlaronia an-i "lecri, 011 the Aegean sea. j Neutral v?_s?e3t; were given 4S hours( from Saturday evening to leave the, blockaded area. On the Western front the Germans' record the repulse of an attack north-! west of Vermelles, where the British ; hold the line and the blocking of j French assaults at various points in j the Champagne district, notably east j of Augervive, where the French are declared to have left more than 600 prisoners and three machine guns in: German hands. * ? 1 ? ~ + /-W \x triJJLia.il iiwpu aisv <a,i c ucviai cu iw. Shave carried out a successful move for, improving their positions on Hart-! manns-Weilerkopf in the Vosges and ' to have foiled a French attempt to retake positions south of Leintrer. A vigorous French counterattack in "the Vosges enabled them to recapture all their positions on the summit of Hartmann-Weilerkopf, according to latest officiaf reports from Paris. The French also claim to have taken a small fort previously occupied by the Germans. An official statement from "RerHri plflims. that a ftprmnn attflf-V made with the object of improving the Teutonic positions on HartsmannWeilerkopf was entirely successful, the opposing forces suffering severe losses. Berlin's account of operations in the East is confined entirely to the recording of repulses of Russian attacks west of Dvinsk and at other points to-1 "wards the northern end of the line, and in the region of Smorgon. Nothing is said of the operations in Volhynia or in Galicia. Australia, which has contributed so aargeiy iu nit* uvsu > v?jci<a.iuma vi iuc entente allies on the Gallipoli peninsula, apparently is much exercised over the suggestion in the house of lords that the Dardanelles enterprise be abandoned. A Sydney dispatch is is quoted in a London dispatch as declaring that such a decision would be "evidence of gross incompetence somewhere, for which hardly any punishment would be too great." The sinking of a Russian schooner laden with coal and iron by a German seaplane in the Gulf of Riga- is announced in a Berlin newspaper. X Best Ground Insert L*:ns% 51.bv to ! $3.50 pair. !

The scene of the play is laid in a tar awaiy aim unuistuvei cu wuun/, The Land of Cotton Blossoms, where the word of the king is law. In the southern part of the kingdom lives a peasant girl, Rousolka, who spins cot-! ton. With Rousolka lives Famor, her little brother, who prattles of fairies, and especially of fairies who guarU over the cotton fields. Other peasants of the land tediously seed out the cotton. They are driven on with their work by the Gnome of Prvttnn Seed, a sDirit of tenacious en erg}', who lives in the cotton hamper. Famine spreads over the northern part of the kingdom. The king decrees that the peasants shall cease their cotton planting until a quicker way is found to seeding the cotton. He commands them to work in the grain fields. The decree comes to this secluded hamlet at the celebration of miidsummer's night. Little Famor is distressed, because he says that the Fairy of the Cotton Field will die. Rmisalka nleads with Monjik, her lov er, to invent a quicker way to seed the cotton and thus save the cotton fields* Monjik makes a vow never to celebrate his wedding feast until he finds a quicker way. ? | Famor runs away to tell the Fairy of the Cotton Field of the king's decree. The Fairy is deeply grieved because it is a fairy law that the fairyguards an unfilled field must die. She summons- the King of all the Fairies, who grants her one week longer of life. That night she goes to bid farewell to all her familiar haunts. The Gnome of the Cotton Seed comes out from under his hamper, which has been left "* - ^ A1? ^ A * Ti a on trie euge 01 me neiu. al mat ^ mocks the fairy band and declares his knowledge of a secret which will save their loves.
