Roy Allen Dead.

Roy Allen, as he was popular
ly known, was a fine young man,
When the news was passed around
town that he was sick, and the
doctors had given him up, it was
hardly believed by his friends,
for only a day or two before he
was among them.
But Roy had been failing for
some time. He had grown thin
ner, which is usually an indica-
tion of failing health. But he
did not quit work until on We'd
nesday evening of last week. He
was not feeling we'll all day, and
that evening, in. company with
his wife and two little children,
he went to his parents home on
North Main street to spend the
evening. He was stricken while
there with acute Brights disease,
and doctors were summoned, but
he rapidly declined, and on Sat-
urday at 12:15 he passed away.
John Leroy Allen was born
May p, 1881 at Larned, Kansas.
When a small boy he moved with
his parents to Arkansas, where
he lived until March, 1892, when

two children, survive bim. His

family and parents, four sisters
and two brothers to mourn his
death. They are Misses Mabel,
Georgia, Julia and Lucille, and
MeSGrS. Bert Allen of Pittsburg,
Kansas, and Fred Allen of St.
Louis, Mo.
Roy was a member of the Ma
sonic order, the Fraternal Aid
Association, knights and Ladies
of Security, and the A. H. T. A.
He was a member of the Board
of Education, also, having been
elected at the 1913 spring cleo

For a great many years Roy

new SUCCESS BY
RUSSIAN TROOPS

: Petrograd, Oct. 2.-The general staff has
given out the following official announce
ment:
THE Russian troops have continued to
repulse the enemy from the boundaries
of the governments of SuwalH and Lom-
"a. The engagement has been very fierce
west of Symno. The German troops that
were attacking ossowetz are retreating
hastily to the north. Considerable forces
of the enemy. of which the bulk arrived
from the west, are concentrating in the
districts west of the government of Pi-
otrkow and Kielce.
THE Russian cavalry and vanguard are
accommodating energetically though all
that region, impeding through vigorous
attacks the movement of thee nemy The
Germans always endeayor to use the
highways in Russian territory because
the other roads, being rough, paralyze
their artillery trains.
An attack by the Russian cavalry
against the German vanguard in front
of Andrew, and marching on Kielce,
was crowned with great success. The
German infantry was caught una
wares and is retreating in disorder,
pursued by the Russian cavalry.
THE bombardment of Ossawetz did
damage to only few private dwell
ings and a few telephone lines as the
garrison was sheltered by numerous
concrete walls.
THE offensive by the Russian
troops marching through the forests
of Augustowo was not covered by the
artillery. South of Augustowo, hand
to hand engagement took place. 1t
was particularly fierce in the semi
circle between the Biolobrozeg basin
which was crossed by a Russian col
ur1n and the Augutowo canal near
the Borki basin. The issue of this en-
Eagement was decided by an attack
from Augustowo.
Northwest of the forest OF Augustowo
the Russians were compelled to attack
the rear guard of the Germans through
numerous dehles and in fortified positions
where the Russian infantry received
great help from its heavy artillery, which
caused great losses to the enemy, who
were dislodged from the entertainments
and retired under our fire.
1.-The battle is proceeding over an ex-
tensive front. the Germans occupying po-
sitions near Marianpol and south of
Stshutshin.
I'm the vicinity of Wresouch the
ground is very rough. making it difficult
for troops TO keep their battle lines. This
has resulted in series of individual en-
-gagements.
The advance of the Russian troops Is
meeting with success everywhere"

R. G. DUN & cos
REVIEW OF TRADE

New York. Oct. 2.-R G. Dun & Co.'S.
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
The abnormal business conditions Great
ed by the war continue, and caution and
retrenchment still halt enterprise, yet
there is a significant growth of conf
dence. Several factors contribute to this
situation. Undoubtedly the improve
ment in the financial markets is slow, but
is 1t steady; and the measures taken to
permit limited dealings in securities I'M
der stringent regulations make at least
the partial opening of the London and
New York exchanges nearer possibility
Another factor is the active export move
ment of grain. which has a two-fold eff
feet. as it aids greatly in restoring more
normal conditions in international ex-
change and contributes nightly to the
prosperity of the West by ensuring high
prices for the large crops that have been
raised in that section.
In the iron and steel trade changes that
have occurred are in the direction of fur
Their curtailment, at least so far as do
mestic business is concerned.
Trading In the dry goods markets is re-
stricted by the cotton situation in the
South and also by questions of finances
but production at the mills is increasing
and prospects display considerable inn
provement as compared with month or
so ago.
Local and New England manufacturers
of footwear, as well as those In the West
and Southwest, have received very sat
isfactory volume of spring orders.
Failures in the United States are Ais
against 254 the corresponding week last
year. Failures in Canada number 60
against SO last year.

honor of the Freshman boys and girls,
at the vestry of the First Baptist
church Friday evening. The vestry
was crowded with the merry students
who were doing their share in making

for the large crowd that tried to make
their way around. The committee in
charge showed rare judgement in their
selections for the program OF the eve
ming. The whistling solo by Miss Lou
Use Merrill Is, attracted attention Tor
it was something out of the ordinary

Miss Mildred Green; whistling SOLO,
Miss Louise Merrill; vocal solo, MISS
Marjorie Barker; reading, Harry Uu-
ton: cornet solo, Miss Gladys CRAFTS.

tested upon the campus Friday morn
ing when the Freshmen girls appeared
wearing green capes. Around their
necks they wore green ribbons, at
taehed to which were little brass bells.
Mucn interest mas peeh
among a few of the students by the
addition to the regular courses. OF
course in commercial French, to be
conducted by Professor L. j. Cook. the
object of this course is to increase the
students knowledge in the technical
terms and phrases of business. The
class will be wholly conducted in
French and thus increase the fluency
in speaking of those taking the course.
A mass meeting was called after
classes Friday afternoon and the stu
dents marched to the field headed by
the college band. There under the
leadership of cheer-leader Shibles they
practiced the different college yells.

with a great amount of spirit.
