Five hundred votes were cast at the
election to choose directors for the
newly created school district at An
chorage. There was but one ticket in
the field, hence the vote is remark
able in that it shows the Interest taken
by the residents of Anchorage in the
matter of school facilities for the town.
The ticket was:
For director—Mrs. W. T. Normile.
For treasurer—M. Finkelstein.
For Clerk—A. J. Wendler.
The board will immediately take up
the question of a public school and the
plan is to begin a school term this
coming fall. A corp of three teachers,
it is figured, will be required to ade
quately perform the work, due to the
number of children of school age now
living there.

Unable to Check Advancing Germans.
LONDON, Aug. 21—The Russian field artille ries are fight
ing desperately although apparently vainly to check the on
rushing Teuton, led by Mackensen, south of Brest-Litovsk.
Mackensen’s forces have penetrated far beyond the Bug river.
There are other German armies eaRt of the river so that the
position of the Russians in Brest-Litvsk is rendered serious.
The Teutons keep trying to envelop the Russians and although
they did not succeed in cooping them up in Warsaw the re
tiring Slavs have never yet escaped the imminent danger of
such a catstropho as the Teuton generals keep driving forward
despite the efforts of the Russians to check them. It is now be
lieved' that it will be impossible for the Russians to hold their
line of defenses from Bialystok to Brest-Litovsk.
French May Abandon Trenches Gained.
LONDON, Aug. 21—The French war office admits that it
will be impossible for them to retain the cross roads between
Lens and Arras which were recently taken by storm from the
Germans. In order to preserve their alignment and not subject
their line in this region to be attacked at a weakened point, it
will be necessary for the French to withdraw from their newly
gained trenches.
Allies Make Progress at Dardanelles.
LONDON, Aug. 21—The only news received today con
cerning the fighting in the Dardanelles is that the British left
wing has made some progress on the plains of Anafarta. At
the other fields of activity on the peninsula nothing of impor
tance has occurred, the fighting being confined to trench
sniping.
