ALONG THE GREAT BATTLE LINES
RUSSIANS WITH ALLIES IN BELGIUM

The most dramatic event was the
removal OF the French seat Of govern.
ment to Bordeaux for the second time
in history. In 1871 the capital was
moved to Tours, when the Prussians
besieged Paris, and later was moved
to Bordeaux.
In Paris the military is in full con-
troll and martial law had been de-
clared. The II forts around the city
were manned with picked troops and
entrenchments thrown up between the
forts. 1t was officially decreed that
the city was considered in state Of
siege.
Fighting continued, In East Prussia
and Austrian Gallcia between the Rus
slams. Germans and Austrians, while
another battle was reported between
the Austrlans and the Servians. In all
engagements the Austrians were re-
ported to have lost 100000 men, killed,
wounded and prisoners.
A Holy War.
Turkey. It was reported, either had
or will declare war against England,
France and Russia.
The Sultan Of Turkey is looked on
by the Moslem world as its head.
Egypt, which now is a British protec'
torate, is peopled almost wholly by
Moslems, who believe that England
broke solemn promise when she
failed to relax her grip on Egypt.
These Moslems would be almost GER
tain to rise up and aid Turkey against
England.
France, too, has Moslems to deal
with In Algiers. They would also be
likely to join Turkey in the event OF
war. Such contingency would
force both England and France to send
large armies into Africa, which would
be a great risk to both, In view Of the
way the Allies are being pressed on
the continent by Germany.
Should Turkey get into the war
against the Allies " would De q master
stroke on the part Of Emperor VIII
liam. Turkeys participation in the
war on tho other hand would be almost
certain to draw Italy into the fighting
on the side Of the Allies. as the Italian
government has been reported as say
ing that It would declare war on Aus
tria and Germany II any other power
declared against England. France and
Russia.
Paris the Pivot.
Whether Paris is besleged or not II
surely will become the center Of
pivotal operations that are planned to

WATCHING CORN EXPOSITION.
Inquiry Comes from Man Two T!lOus-

to Exhibit.
From 1000 miles diagonally across
the continent has come to Columbia
an inquiry regarding the Fifth Ma
tional Corn exposition to be held here
next January. This inquiry comes
from the man who at the fourth eX-
position exhibited the best peck of
oats entered from the entire United
States, and who would have h.en
awarded the handsome $1,50O Colo
RADIO oat trophy, had not a Canadian
farmer entered slightly superior
peck of the grain. He is Thomas
Blades of Red Lodge, Carbon county
Montana. For the past five years Mr.
Blades has written regularly to the
exposition management prior to the
holding Of each exposition, asking for
premium lists and information about
the coming event. At Columbus,
Ohio, in 1911, he won the reserve
standing second in the contest for the
Colorado oat trophy. Mr.. Blades
signifies his intention to enter some
grain this coming year, and If he
does, he will probably put up a strong
fight for the trophy.
This handsome trophy is made of
Colorado coin silver and stands three
feet high. 1t was donated by the
State Of Colorado to be awarded for
the best peck of oats shown at the
National Corn exposition in 1909,
1910, 1911 and 1913. 1t is now in the
custody Of the Saskatchewan farmer
who won it at Columbia to be awarded
to the 1918 winner. Winners names
are engraved on plates at the pc
destal Of the trophy. A one-pound
sample Of the winning grain is each
year placed in the trophy, under seal
to become the property of the State
of Colorado at the expiration of the
period.-The State.
