FRENCH PREDICT
GERMAN RETREAT

Paris, Oct. 6.-The northern flank
ing movement continues. The allied
armies, constantly reinforced, are
steadily extending their lines north
beyond Arras.
By sheer force of numbers they are
pushing the German right wing stead
lily eastward. Every attempt of the
Germans to break through in the
neighborhood of Roye and Lassigny
and so relieve the pressure on the
extreme northern line has failed.
The outcome, the military experts
here say, will soon be the long looked
for German retreat to the new line
of defenses in Belgium. The pressure
is becoming so great that If for no
other reason strategic considerations
will force withdrawal.
The center, from the Disc to the
Argonnes, has witnessed no change
for more than week. Here both
armies remain in strong intrench-
ments, their fate depending on the
battles in the west and east The
army Of the crown prince is still be-
ing pressed backward in the Woevre
region, while the French columns. ad-
vancing from Toul and Nancy, have
forced the Germans to lift their siege
of certain Meuse forts.

homesteader and colonizer. During
these years he cruised over this dis
trict SO thoroughly that there are
very few townships in either Bel

he did not cover. This valuable ex-
perience has given to Mr.. Nord first

district, so that if he is elected to

will be able to fully inform the law
makers of that body, of the pressing
needs of this district from his own
personal experience as to roads.

dynamite to settlers at cost, schools,
etc
Mr. Nord will also strongly advo-
cate some feasible plan whereby long
time state loans can be made to set
tiers for Improvement purposes, at
a low rate of interest.
Mr.. Nord is alive to the necessity

our rural as well as our city schools,

TWO OBJECTY IN MOVEMENTS
Reasons for Russian Advance Into
Hungary.

Rome, Oct. 6.-News from Russian
headquarters says the invasion of
Hungary through the Carpathians has
two objects. The first is to insure the
flank of the Russian army operating
against Przemysl and along the San
river, and the second is to open a new
field of action in the vast Hungarian
plains, where it can frighten the pop
ulation, disturb the drilling of Hun
garian reseryists and recruits and
cut the railway communications, be-
sides freely feeding an important por-
tion of the army from the resources of
the country.
1t is recalled that during the Rus
sian-Turkish war of 1877 an expedi.
ton, commanded by General Gourko
and mostly composed of cavalry, did
the same thing crossing the Balkan
mountains and entering Eastern Rou-
mania.

LOSSES ARE ENORMOUS.
Eight Thousand Killed During

London, Oct 6-The Antwerp cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph.
telegraphing regarding the fighting
around Antwerp, says:
The Germans continue their des-
perate efforts to capture Antwerp.
They are in desperate hurry to ac-
complish it, pounding away unceasing-
.ly with their artillery and fiinging
their cavalry forward in frantic ef-
forts to break through
Their losses have been enormous
and the numbers killed are estimated
as high as 5000 during the present
movement
"The Belgians adopted clever ruse
at Waelhem. After the bombardment
had lasted several hours the fort
ceased to reply, whereupon the Ger
man staff, thinking the fort out of ac-
ton, ordered the infantry to advance
in close formation. The Belgian
gunners waited until they could see
the whites of their eyes and then
opened a murderous fire.
"The German big guns are not be-
ing worked by regular soldiers, but by
men in citizens clothing, who wear
only an armlet to indicate their mill
tary occupation. Undoubtedly these
men are employees of the Krupp fac
tory, hastily summoned to replace the
losses among the regular gun LAYERS
The German shells have practical
ly wiped out most of. the little villeges
and hamlets in the outer circles of
the Antwerp defenses. The Germans
still hold Malines, although at
heavy cost, as the town is subject to
constant bombardment from the
Antwerp forts" =.

RUSSIANS

RMANS
Say Invasion From.
Prussia Fails.
MUSCOv|TES BEATEN,
BERLIN DECLARES
Left Wing Forced Back After
Desperate Fighting.

London, Oct 6.-Official advices
from Petrograd assert the German in
vasiOn from East Prussia has failed
and that the Germans are leaving the
borders Of the provinces of Suwalki
and Lomza. The official statement
adds that on the left bank of the
Vistula river and in Galicia the sit
uatiOn remains unchanged
The statement makes no mention
OF the campaigns in the Carpathians
but unofficial advices received here
by way of Rome assert the Russians
have taken all the passes in the
mountains and begun an invasion of
Hungary, having occupied Hosszum-
ezo. There the Cossacks are said to
have crossed the river and cut the
railway at Cziget, thus isolating the
remainder Of Hungary.
Advices from the Central News
correspondent at Petrograd tell of the
reported capture by the Russians of
the heights between four and five
miles Of the Austrian fortified town of
Przemysl adding that the Austrians
have several times vainly attempted
to retake the positions.
Russian Left Wing Defeated.
Berlin official advices contend the
Russian left wing, while attempting
to cross the River Niemen near Au-
gustowo, has been defeated after a
furious battle lasting two days, and
adds that 5000 Russians were made
prisoners and many guns, including
rapid-firers, were captured. On the
other hand, Russian official advices
say the Germans were routed by bay
onet charges and the whole line of
German retreat is blocked with the
bodies of their dead"
If the Russian reports are correct
it means the German offensive move
ment toward the River Niemen from
East Prussia has been stopped and
General Rennenkampf, the Russian
commander, has been given an oppor-
tunity to assume the offensive. The
advices also would indicate the i'm
pOrtant fortified town of OssoWetZ
has been relieved from investment.
Late advices discredit the earlier
reports that the Russians were invest
ing Cracow. 1t hardly was possible
for the Muscovite forces to have
reached Cracow in such a short time,
but a report that Cossacks have
reached the neighborhood of this
strongly fortified Austrian town is
credible, as the famous Russian cav
alrymen are showing the same ability
in the eastern field of action as are
