RECOGNIZED WORK OF ARTIST
Negro Quick to Hand Out What
Might Be Called Important Piece
Of MlsInfovmatIon.

Charles r. Knight, the artist, whose
reproductions OF dinosaurs and crea.
lures Of long ago are known the world
over, prefers, however, to be known
as painter and sculptor Of modern
animals. He has worked from the liv-
ing model as much as possible. and
this has taken him to the ZOOS in
many cities. He was telling his ex-
periences at the zoo in Washington.
"One afternoon an important look
ing negro came along with his best
GIRL" he said. They stopped for .
minute and looked at the sketch l
was making of a deer.

He tried It again and again. but could

said the rabbit. Your teeth are too
blunt to bite through anything. Let
me sharpen them for you and make
them like mine. Mine cut through

The deer thought that was the right
thing, and 30 the rabbit got rough
piece of stone and began to file away

they were down to the gums.

rabbit told him It always hurt little

FURIOUS FIGHTING
GERMANS ATTEMPT TO BREAK
THE ALLIED LINE-8oTH
CLAIM SUCCESS.
Russians Invade Hungary, Taking
Artillery, Stores and Many
Prisoners.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
LOndon.-Along almost two-thirds
of the great battle line across North
eastern France the armies of the allies
and Germany fought fiercely, at some
points with the bayonet, statements
from both sides are worded with the
optimism which has characterized all
these official announcements. 1t was
agreed that the allies had continued
their advance.
The French claimed marked prog
ress." The German announcement
from Berlin, though insisting that the
advance had been repulsed, neverthe-
less referred to it as an advance.
Elsewhere along the battle front
neither side appears to have achieved
any notable success.
The continued forward movement Of
the Russian troops in Galicia; the ap-
pearance of German aircraft dropping
bombs over various places in Belgium,
and again in Paris and Warsaw, and
the movement of vast bodies of Ger
man troops into Russia by way of East
Prussia, were chiefly significant in a
summary of the events in both thea
ters Of war.

cracow Under German Rule.

That Cracow has been occupied by
German troops, that the town has
been put under a German military
commandant, and that the Austrian
civil administration has been displaced
is the gist of the latest advices re-
ceived here says the Petrograd cor
respondent of the London Morning
Post. All the original administra-
ton of the town and all civil officials
of the Austrian government have left
and the residents are fleeing in a
panic"
The Germans have thrown three
army corps into the Cracow district,
according to this information. and are
bringing more troops in preparation
for the expected Russian attack

Allies Gain Ground,

On the Battle Front, Sept 26.-The
German offensive was extremely Wig
orous today at the western end of the
long line stretching along the rivers
Disc, Aisne and Woevre.
The allied troops, whose gaps had
been filled with freshly arrived re-
endorsements. not only repeatedly
thrust back the masses of Germans
thrown against them but eventually
carried out a successful counter-attack
which resulted in the gaining of con-
siderable ground and the capture of
Peronne, about which town the fierc-
est engagement occurred.
Machine Guns Kill Hundreds.
deadly German machine guns were
counted in hundreds, especially where
the advance was across an open wheat
field that recently had been harvested.
Some men of a French regiment
which was making a dash toward the
German position when it was struck
by the sweeping fire were found dead
in the kneeling posture they had TAX
en- behind sheaves of wheat and from
where they had emptied their maya
zines, intending to start final rush
and bayonet charge.
After the fight 900 dead were buried
in a single trench six feet deep. the
Germans being placed at one end and
the French at the other.
Many Germans Near Reims.
Further toward the east, near Berry
au-Bac on the Aisne north of Reims,
there appears to be concentrated a
large German force which has stolidly
occupied strong intrenchments from
which it is most difficult to dislodge
them. Hereabouts the fighting has
been of a desultory character. with,
however, slight advantage in favor of
the allies.
The men of both armies in this
vicinity seem to be enjoying their
rest.
On the eastern wing the Germans
are throwing enormous masses of men
against the French troops protecting
the line of defensive forts above Yer
dun; but up to the present their ef-
forts, although costing immense sac
rifices, have been vain and the French
line remains intact.

Claims Made by Germans.

London. Sept. 26.-Messages which
come from German sources carry re-
ports which are Numerically the op-
posite Of the foregoing. These say
that the flanking movement of the al
lies ON the German right wing have
failed and that the battle there has
come to a standstill.
These messages say there has been
nc fighting on the center. but that the
German left has taken Varennes. at
tackled the forth to the south of Yer
dun, and repulsed sorties from Verdun
and Toul. The Germans are said to
be bombarding the towns of Troyon-
les-Paroches, Camp des Romaine, and
Lionville Lironville).
1t also is claimed that French troops
in French Lorraine end on the border
Of Alsace have been repulsed.
