admitted TO the state league, with
such towns as Muskegon and Manistee

Great Ten-Day
Battle Still a Draw

Paris, Sept. %. The tenth
day of the mighty struggle in
Northern France found the artil-
lery duel of the two great armies
a draw, while the two great main
lines of both armies are believed
to be intact.
The French claim to have SHOW
ed back the German right, but
at the same time an official state
ment from the French War Office
gives an account of fighting west
of the Disc at point from which
it had been thought that the Ger
mans had been expelled.
Reports have again become
current that the Germans are
short of ammunition, but the ter
rifle nature of the German can
nonade seems to give this rumor
the lie.
The four points where the
fighting centers are the valley of
the Disc, Scissors, Rheims and
Verdun. The German left CEN
ter is making a vigorous assault
upon the forts at Verdun. alter
nately bombarding them q and
then making efforts to storm
them from two sides.

Had to Kill Driving Mare

Messrs. Beauchamp and Son
had the misfortune to lose their
driving nag last Tuesday noon.
Mr.. Beauchamp drove the animal
down to the residence of his son,
tied the hitch strap to a tree
when about to enter the house,
he looked back and saw the mare
had broken lose, and before he
could get to the gate the animal
started down the alley on the
run. She did not run far, as she
got tangled in the harness and
while adjusting the harness, the
mare made a lunge to bite him,
but did him no injury, outside of
grabbing the rim of his derby
hat. The hat is minus several
inches Of the rim. The animal
again started to run, and when
near the residence of Mr.. E. N.
Davis, she slipped and fell, strik-
ing her shoulder on the curbing,
breaking and MASKING it badly.
Later on the animal was chloro-
formed and hauled away. Mr..
Beauchamp is of the opinion the
mare became frightened at some
trif1ing object, and being of a
nervous nature, caused her to
act as she did.

Germans Give Eagerly
To Their War Loan Fund

Berlin, Sept. 21.-By wireless
(via Sayville, L. l.)-Subscrip-
tons thus far received to the
German war loan have assured
the brilliant success of the war
loan plan. One paper speaks of
the public response as the vic
tory of those at the Somme.
The call was for 1900, 900, 600
marks ($1, $50, O,OOO.) With a
number of reports not yet re-
ceived, the total subscription of
the imperial bonds already is
2, 954, 900 marks. The treasury
certificates which were offered
to the amount of 100000 600
marks, have been over subscrib-
ed by 260, 100000 marks.
The newspapers express pride
that this result has been reached
without foreign subscription or
the necessity of sending subscrip-
ton blanks to the many weIl-to-
do Germans now in the field.
On account of the unexpected
success, the final terms of pay
ment have been postponed until
December.
Last nights report from head
quarters stated that the German
armies in France everywhere
have assumed tn e offensive
against the strongly entrenched
enemy.

 WEAKLEY DECLINES TO ANSWER M'CORD
Says He Does Not Care to Get Into Controversy With Him Over
 Rate Compromise

Judge Samuel D. Weakley said yester- day he would not dignify the statement of Railroad Commissioner Leon McCord with an answer at this time.
 MT. McCord charged Judge Weakley and Mir. Selheimer with being mad on account of the suspension of the rate controversy on which the two attorneys have spent seven years.
 Judge Weakley said in answer to q re- quest for a statement that he did not take any notice of the compromise what ever until he was told that it was reported MT. McCord said that the states counsel advised the commission to make the rate compromise. It was then that Judge Weakley took occasion to deny any con- nection with the compromise, but he also declined to criticize it. 'a
 ''The statement of MT. McCord is such that I shall not dignify it with an an- swer, said Judge Weakley.
 Judge Weakley said that after consid- ering the matter he may make a state ment later on but not at this time.
