Germany Is Caring
for 433,241 Prisoners

London.-The actual magnitude OF
this great war, which, in most OF its
aspects, is hard to grasp, is illustrat.
ed by the number of prisoners taken.
Just how many Germans and Aus.
trians have been captured is unknown
now, but there are reliable figures,
just from Berlin, which show that
the Germans have taken what in
other wars would comprise great
armies. The number OF prisoners
represents a total of 1924.
This is exclusive, according to the
information received, Of civilians
whom the Germans have taken from
France and Belgium in great numbers.
Until the receipt Of these figures,
It was believed Germany's prisoners
were only 25O.OOO, including civilians.

HOW A SOLDIER REALLY FEELS IN BATTLE

GERMANS ON THE OFFENSIVE.

MISUNDERSTANDING a r%eorganiz.
ed force in the vicinity of Hazebrouck
and st. Omer, the Kaiser is making an
other heavy smash in the direction OF
Calais and Boulogne. 1t Is not ex-
pected that the battle in progress in
this district will be decided for several
days. If the Germans break through
the Allies line they will have a clear
road to the coast.
Reports from Belgian sources say
that the enemy have requisitioned a
large number Of boats from Bruges and
that n~eighborhood, and are expected
to attempt to cross the deepest part
Of the waste of waters covering the
north country in them. Artillery is
being moved into position to Illustrate
this attempt.
Ignorance OF the exact openings OF
the dykes caused the Belgians unin.
tentionally to violate the military prin-
ciple OF inundation as a means of safe.
ty. The strategic plan provides for a
depth which win make it impossible
to move artillery and yet not deep
enough to use boats. The Belgians
apparently have turned TOO much wa
ter into the User territory and the
Germans will endeavor to benefit
thereby.
Meanwhile the fighting in that sec
ton has settled down into an artillery
duel in which the Germans have the
better of 1t because OF the weight of
their artillery. On the other portions
OF the line the fighting continues un-
checked. In the vicinity of Ypres the
fighting is of the most desperate char.
acter. Both sides are being constant.
ly REINFORCED there, and the fighting
swings backward and forward across
a ten-mile stretch Of territory which
Is Uttered with the dead and wounded
Of both armies.
The battle around Ha2lebrouck Is
raging with all the fury that has char,
~acterized each fresh attack by the
Germans.
Fighting is also going on in the
district a little to the southeast OF
Ypres, but the ferocity of the first
few days is no longer witnessed. The
German loss on this battle ground
has been particularly heavy. A cor
respondent OF the Times in Pas dc
Calais estimates the German dead al
$4,000.
That the Germans are also con
t%emplating a fresh attack OF Arras is
also made plain from the DISPATCHES
Of different correspondents. An Am
sterdam despatch to the Central News
says that forty heavy guns, destined
for Arras, arrived at Aix-la- Chappelle
from Essen. The same desnatch says
that sixty armored automobiles equip
ped with mitrailleuses have left AK
g. la.Chanelle for Ostend.

nous losses sustained. Fears are ex-
pressed whether the German forces
are strong enough to stand many more
weeks at such frightful slaughter.

that the Allies are proving a tough
nut, but says the splendid spirit of
the Germans will pull them through

GERMAN STRONGHOLD

Seven Thousand Of the Kaiser's Men Beat Back
More Than Four Times Their Number
For Three Months
REAR ADMIRAL CRADOCK WITH HIS 900 MEN
LOST WHEN THE BRITISH FLAGSHIP WAS SUNK

Toklo.-lt is officially announced
that the German fortress Of Tslng.Tau
has surrendered to the Japanese II
British forces.
The first step in bringing about the
surrender OF the fortress occurred
when the infantry charged and occu-
pied the middle fort of the first line
of defense. In this operation they took
200 prisoners.
The fall of Tsing.Tau ends n OF
the most picturesque chapters of the
war. The siege OF the little German
concession on the south side OF the
Shantung Peninsula OF China has been
going on since late In August.
The capture OF Tsing-Tau loses to
Germany her last foot of possessions
on the Asiatic mainland as well as
her last strategic position outside OF
the German Empire In Europe.
For nearly three months the little
German garrison. amounting to about
1000 men and nearly wholly composed
OF reseryists who were living or doing
business in China, has held out against
the land and sea attacks OF 10000 ia
panese and British troops that found
themselves in China at the outbreak
OF the war.
The bombardrent OF the defenses Of
Klao-chau began August "a, and the
general assault on Tsing-Tau, October
81.
The official Japanese and British re-
ports have indicated that Tsing-Tau
has been taken at heavy cost of men
TO the Allies-2,00O men and several
%second.rate warships.

Dear Editor:
The public, generally, do not know
that we are today in the midst OF a
seed famine. We are facing con-
dition that is vastly greater in i'm
portance than the presidential cam
paign that now holds the public
mind. We are face to face with
situation that will very likely go
down in the history of the northwest
as the seed Famine of 1872 and
only immediate and definite action
by the farmers and the businessmen
can now avert what may become
grave calamity. From the Wabash
to the Black Hills and from the
Great Lakes to the Ozark Mountains
there is today a shortage OF good
seed corn that has not been par
alelled since this region became the
corn field of the world. Word has
just reached us that practically all
the supply of seed corn of one whole
sale house, amounting to more than
10000 bushels, has spoiled, and
they can only fill fractional orders.
There is veritable famine in flax
seed as we'll as timothy. And
throughout the northwest the seed
grain, especially wheat. is of un-
usual poor quality. The secretary OF
the experiment station and the offices
Of agricultural and other papers are
being flooded with inquiries for
sources Of good seed that will
grow" We therefore urge all who
know OF any corn or grain seed for
sale to write the secretary, Mime
sofa Field-Crop Breeders association,
St. Anthony Park. Minn., stating
kinds of seeds, amount, price and IL
possible, quality, purity and per cent
of termination. You will therein do
a worthy public service.
Up to date we have this informa-
tion for the farmers of northern
Minnesota in regard to seeds for
sale:

The story was told to Bemidji resi-
dents.
Time has strengthened the evil
dence.
Has proven the cure permanent.
The testimony is home testimony
The proof convincing.
1t can be investigated by Bemidji
residents.
Mrs, L. Kane, 615 Fourth St., Be-
emidji, Mimi, says: "I was afflicted
with kidney trouble for a number of
years. My system was filled with ur-
ic acid that my kidneys failed to re-
move and I was often bothered by
shortness of breath. A few weeks
ago l procured a supply of Doan's
Kidney Pills and I am we'll pleased
with the results I have thus far re-
ceived from their use. I intend to
continue taking this remedy" (State-
ment given in August, 1900.
A PERFECT CURE.
Mrs. Kane was interviewed on Oc-
tober 6, 1910, and she said: II am
glad to again endorse Doan's Kidney
Pills. They effected a complete and
permanent cure in my case.''

which became Il standing joke, is re-

One day, just as school was over,
there was a heavy %downpour of rain.
and we looked out along the Priester-

last little Fritz also appeared. walking

some way off. Run, child, run!' The
sheets of rain prevented us from
catching his reply. When our mother

riously: But, mamma, in the rules OF
the school it is written, ON leaving
school boys are forbidden to jump and
run about in the street, but must walk
quietly and decorously to. their
homes.'" Fritz had obeyed this rule
under the most adverse circumstances.
