quarters says:
THE fighting on the East Prussian

Russian troops have also captured
the town OF Biala, In Galicia, 43 miles
southwest Of Cracow. In other regions
there is nothing Of importance to re-

"In the attack against the Przemysl
garrison conditions are in our favor,

headquarters yesterday, ordered the

the big howitzers are comparatively
harmless at close range.
The troops quickly grasped the best
method for dealing with these mon.
sters. Once having passed the zone
commanded by their fire the French

guns, sweep away the German artil
lerymen and then charge. Already a

London, Oct. 9.-The heavy guns Of
the kaiser's troops were trained on
Antwerp after the garrison had refused
q demand that it be surrendered. The
commander of the German troops sent
an officer under white flag into the
city to announce that the lombard
ment would begin unless the city was
given up. The request was refused.
Immediately after the decision of
the Belgians was announced the tenn

It is reported in military circles
that British expeditionary force OF
formidable strength has entered Ant.
werp after passing through Client. The
war office refuses to confirm the re-
port, but 1t comes from creditable
source. The expedition is said to con-
sist almost exclusively of artillery and
a naval detachment with heavy guns.

it has been impossible thus far to

armies and over the outer forts into
the midst OF the city itself.
The Germans are not succeeding in
drawing their lines closer about the
besieged city. Since they crossed the
River Nethe, according to dispatch
7 to the Times, the only German ad-
vance has been that of the shells into
the city.

CLERKS MAY BALK
ON CITIZEN PAPERS

Council Bluffs, July 17.-Clerks Of
Iowa courts are seriously considering
the question OF giving up the work OF
making out and keeping naturalization
papers. The matter was one OF the
most earnestly discussed questions al
the rece~t state meeting at Oskaloosa
and has been the cause of more. com.
plant than anything that has affected
the clerks in Iowa in years.
Many of the clerks are OF the opin.
ion that the work is optional with
them, and IL it can be shown that this
is true it is a pretty safe guess that
Uncle Sam will soon have to look else
whore for his free clerical work. Prior
to the time that this work was placed
upon it's present basis by the federal
government the fees we're paid the
clerks and not to the counties as now.
