THE War SITUATION IN EUROPE

ed. In Russia, in a-battle lasting six
days, the German army operating be-
tween the Niemen river and the East
Prussian frontier was defeated along
its full line. It was forced to re-
treat, abandoning quantities Of sup
plies. 1t has completely evacuated
Suwalki and Lomza."
BERLIN, (By Wireless) Oct. g.
1t is believed that Portugal is prepar-
ing 10 aid the allies. Advices show
that number of British steamers
have reached Lisbon and it is report
ed will be used to transport Portu-
guese troops to the front in France.
1t has been learned that the Indian
soldiers, recently landed in Marseilles,
have already been sent to the front.
1t is believed this indicates the al
lies are hard pressed.
It is reported that the Roumanian
crown prince rebukes the Russian
sympathizers in Bucharest, and in
sisted the Roumanians remain neu-

1t is stated that Holland has
strengthened the frontier patrols,
preparatory to disarming and inter
ing Belgians who are expected to

threatening the front and flank of
the retreating Germans. 1t is report
ed the Germans occupied entrench-

sThe German offensive on both wings
continues but we are advancing slow
ly, and in perfect order. We now
occupy the allies former position on
the western front. Fighting con-
tinues. Under our pressure both
wings of the enemy have been COM
PEELED to take less advantageous POSI-
tions. In the eastern theater, we con-
tinue the offensive unchecked. A
general battle has not materialized
though skirmishing is constant. Wen
ma wires that Przemsyl defes all eff
forts to take it, and that the Rus

and agricultural display, bnt this
proved too small for the wonderful
array Of things included. Their hor-
ticultural products are good, while
too much cannot be said of the ag-
ricultural products. These compare
favorably with those the Los An
geles chamber of commerce has on
exhibition to convince the tourists
that theirs is the greatest farming
country on earth. This display will
speak in quite as eloquent and con-
Hvincing terms of its section to those
who view it.
The display of Animas valley ranch
products is even better than usual,
while its fruit exhibition is as fine
as any section of Colorado can pro-
duce.
Other sections of the country are
well represented by garden, farm and
orchard products we are told, are as
good as any shown at the state fair.
Stockmen concede the live stock de-
partment is the largest and best that
has ever been shown here. The in
creased space of thirty feet provided
for the poultry department is filled
with fowls and pet stock that would
win blno ribbons anywhere.
In the fine arts building there are
the home crafts and pantry depart
ments that attest to the ability and
industry of La Plata county women

school exhibits that are attracting no
end of attention, the parcel post de-
partment, and the space occupied by
the Western Colorado Power con-
pany, where Pat Sheridan is demon
strating all the new wrinkles in cleo
trical appliances.
The buildings present very at
tractive appearance. III have been
whitewashed and renovated, and the
grandstand is artistically decorated in
the fair colors, red, white and blue.
The tent that shelters the aeroplane
occupies conspicuous place near the
judges stand.
One feature lacking this year is the
long row of Indian tents that for
merly lined the space at the rear of
the grandstand is vacant. The red

PARIS, Oct. ct is believed the
Germans are attempting an encircling
movement of their own. An official
statement issued this afternoon re-
ports the presence of heavy force of
German cavalry near Lille. 1t was
believed to be merely a reconnoitering
force but the main railway the allies
must use to relieve Brussels and Ant
werp passes Lille, and possibly the
Germans are planning to destroy the
line.
The statement adds: "On our left,
the front is becoming more and more
extended. Around Arras, on the right
bank of the Somme, the situation is
unchanged Between Somme and
Disc, there have been alternate ad-
vantages and retirements. Near Les
signy, the enemy attempted fierce
attack, but failed. On the bank of
Aisne, north of Scissors, we have ad-
vanced slightly in cooperation with
the British. Likewise we have made
some progress in the region of Berry
Au-Bac. On the rest of the front the
situation is unchanged. The Belgians
defending Antwerp occupied line
from Rupel to the Neither river, the
German attack on this position hav-
ing failed"
Experts declare there is no cause
for alarm. They expect the Germans
to remain in the offensive as long as
possible. 1t is believed they are at
the limit of their resources as far as
men are concerned.

ANTWERP, Oct. 6.-The following
official statement has been issued:
''Bombardmeht of the outer ring forts
continues. The enemy is unable to
gain foothold anywhere. In series
of sorties, the garrison damaged the
enemy who had abandoned their eff
forts to storm the positions. Every
single fort and redoubt is holding
out"
Despite this official optimism, it is
learned that the Belgians areu rging
the British and French general staffs
to start the movement to compel the
Germans to, evacuate Brussels and
raise the siege OF Antwerp.
The Belgians charge that the Ger
mans are seeking an excuse to de-
stroy Brussels, and are opposing the
inhabitants.

BERLIN, Via Hague, Oct. "a
statement was issued this afternoon
saying that the German right is gain
ing decisivcly in France. The allies
thanking operations have been check
ed and at several points west the
allies line has been pierced. The
French have been driven from the
trenches, but the fighting is feFocious.
The investment of Antwerp continues,
with little serious fighting yesterday
in the eastern theater of war.
PARIS, Oct. 5.--The Germans con-
tinue to reinforce Won Kluck and Won
oBehm on their right. AS a result Of
this strain on the other sections Of
the line, Gallieni and others are con-
fident when the enemy is forced to
retreat, they must evacuatc France
entirely.
Temporarily the Germans have end

from Compiegne, through Tergnier
St Quentin, Maubeuge and Iiege to

WEEKLY LETTER OF JOHN H. PAGE, COMMISSIONER MINES, MANUFACTURERS, AGRICULTURE

good weather of the last weeks. E arly breaking is good. Of course 1t IS far better to break the land in the fall, and break it deep, but winter an5 Carlyspring break ing is next importance. Do not break2as deep in the spring as you would in the fall. but be sure to break the land as deep as 1t was broken last year
 Set apart your oat patch now and prepare to SOW early. Get the ground in good condition Remember that an oat crop is net cultivated, and good preparation of the land before planting is es sential to a good crop of oats. Select your oat land with view to following with "a crop of COW peas. Thus you get two crops from the same land in one sea son. and you keep the land in bet ter condition. K Buy your.pea seed early because peas are scarce and hard to get. The farmers should raise more COW peas. They are easy to raise, and threshers, and hullers are available and do not cost much.
 The--price of COW peas is al- ways good. They are worth $2.5O to $500 per bushel now. And speaking off COW peas reminds me that 1 have a letter from a firm in Baltimore wanting the names of farmers who grow COW peas and have them for sale. So there is market. at home and abroad for the COW pea, and be- sides it is. one of the best soil builders we have in this country outside of alfalfa.
 l hope the farmers of Arkansas will plant more soy beans this year. The soy bean is about th9 best food obtainablesfor the hog. They will yield abundantly and will make hay aswell as the bean. The hay is gsso ssod and the bean is rich in protein. The soy bean Is equal to or better than the COW pea in building up soil.
 In'planning.your farm work for this year. stry to reduce your cotton acreage. Better still Ii you can avoid cotton laltogether, Give some thought and study of your soil and the crops best adapted to it. If you can grow strawberries or truck, or small fruits. give some attention to those things. Maybe you can grow crops that will be bringing in some money all during the year.
 Then don't forget the stock. Keep one or more cows so you will have all the milk and butter the family will need. Keep a few good brood sows on the place Look after the hen house. Spend a few dollars for poultry and fiN up for the hens, so the women and children will have no trouble in plenty of eggs and chickens for the table.
 Plant a good garden and heIp your wife to work 1t. Grow plenty of corn and hay to feed all the stock all the year. Keep some good pasture for the cattle and hogs, and have small past ure for the work stock to run in at night.
 Farm work carried out on this plan does not require much money to run the farm, and is sure to bring success, one year with another.
