Official Reports of Operations on
BattLefelds Directly Contradictory


LONDON. Oct 3.--Unusual activity In
the publicity departpsnts OF the German
and Austrian army headquarters has
furnished an account OF the results OF
current battles differing so radically from
those from the camps of their opponents
as to render the widely divergent state
ments irreconcilable.
In regard to the battle OF the Aisne
there is only single point on which the
French and German reports agree, and
that is that General Won Kluck still Is
going northward. though at a snail 8
pace. and that he is so powerful that
General Joffre has been Obliged to admit
that the German commander was able
to make a French detachment debouch-
ing from Arras TO fall back.
Farther south, in the neighborhood OF
Roye, according to the German staff, the
French have been dislodged from their
positions, but the French communication
declares that all the German assaults
there are shattered.
Again, the Germans assert, they have
fought their way southward and have
made substantial advances in the Ar
gcnne district, and the French counter
this by claiming to have made progress
there. while on the far eastern end OF

Here is the question that is puzzling the
minds OF hundreds OF the generous

What shall we give?''
In a time when practically everything
Is needed, II is rather confusing to pick
out one thing or another and say that
this or that is what is wanted. The Christ
mas Ship will carry anything and every
thing, and the givers should feel that
any gift will be welcome. Think of what
you would be likely TO offer 20 desti-
tute American family about Christmas
time, and be sure that II will be accept

RUSSIANS OCCUPY BUKOWINA CITIES
War Summary

French and German reports
agree that the fighting on the
western end Of the battle line in
northern France continues with
out decisive advantage to either
side.
In an announcement made
yesterday afternoon in Paris.
the French War office says that
a violent action progresses in the
region Of Roye. where the allies
have repulsed all German attacks
on the left wing.
A statement from the German
headquarters issued last night
said that the right wing OF the
German army in France had re-
pulsed renewed efforts on the part
Of the allies to outflank it.. To
the south OF Roye the French had
been dislodged from their posi-
tions. II was declared. German
advances in the Argonne region
were recorded, while the situation
on the center was reported as un-
changed. The French state
ment says that the army of the
crown prince has been driven
back in the Argonne district and
that slow hut continuous progress
is being made by the allies in the
Woevre district. Nothing, II says.
is to be noted on the line from
Rheims to the ATgonne region.
Reports from the eastern arena
OF the war continue conflicting.
Glowing accounts of Russian sue
cesses, with n new invasion OF
east Prussia, emanates from
Petrograd and other pro-Russian
sources. On the other hand, Il Is
claimed that the German army
which drove the Russians from
east Prussia Is making a serious
invasion to the east and that an
important engagement along the
river Niemen is imminent. while
other German and Austrian forces
are checking the westward move
ment of the Russians in Russian
Poland and Galicia.
| The most dependable reports
indicate that the really great bat
tie is being fought at Cracow
where an unnumbered Russian
force is attacking the Germani
and Austrians. there united in i'm
mense strength.
| Still farther reports are tn,
contrary claims regarding th'
struggle of the Austrians against
the armies OF Servia and Monte
negro. An official .statemen
from Servia says that the Balkan
allies have gained a brilliant vic
tory at VafresenitZa. According
to Austrian reports, the Invader
OF Bosnia are being scattered
while the counter invasion o
Servia proceeds satisfactorily.
A new German casualty lis
adds $500 names to the dead
wounded and missing.

strong ON Defensive.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-The military
expert of the Times today says:
However much we may bend
back the German right wing and re-
lleve Antwerp, whatever confidence
we have that the shock OF the Rus
sian masses in the east will prove
decisive, we must not entertain the
slightest illusion regarding the hard
and trying condition which awaits all
the allies in the future in operating
against Germany reduced to the de-
fensive.
Germany is still united. Her resources
grow atop. All her might in arms, all her
arsenas are working at full pressure. Her
fleet will strike when the hour comes,
probably in cooperation with the army.
THE line OF the Aisne, when forced
may prove to be only one OF many similar
lines prepared in the rear Of it. II may
take IA very long time for the allies to
compel Germany to feel weakness. 1t
therefore devolves on the allies to look
forward to a long war"

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Though the
Germans right is less than fifty
miles from the Belgian frontier,
never since the outbreak of the war,
apparently, have the people Of Great
Britain been more reconciled to the
idea that the struggle will be long
and terrible. When the Germans
first began to retreat, after their
rush toward Paris, hope ran high
that some master stroke would bring
complete rout to the invaders. Now,
however. many observers emphasize
that even should the so-called battle
line be terminated, the Germans
would only fall back on equally
strong entrenchments.

he says the outlook for tho republican

We've had the campaign in active

dates, with Mr.. Howell as the leading
figure have canyassed the First con-
gressional district in the southeastern
part OF the state and made a thousand
mile circle up the Platte valley to the
western part Of the state and then over
to the northwestern corner and back
down the Elkhorn valley. The reports We
get from the county organizations on the

time of a general lukewarmncss among
the Bryan and Wilson democrats for the

Eryan element Of the party.
There is hardly a community In the
state where there are not democrats, sup
