ROAD TO CALAIS

Fire and Flood Halt TeutOn

DRIVEN BACK IN FLANDERS
Icy Lake Filled With Dead Soldiers
Bars Advance and Forces Prince
Rupprecht to Withdraw His
Infantry.
Bv C. r. BERTILLI.

International News Service Correspondent
Furnes, Flanders, Nov. 30.-Flood
and particularly f1ood-have once
and for all barred to the Germans the
road to Calais by way Of the sea-
washed strip Of Flanders, bounded by
Dixmude From Newport to Dixmude,
the User and it's small tributary, the
Yperlee, are a shimmering, icy lake,
holding innumerable bodies, helmets,
shell baskets and other grim accouter-
ments of war.
AS long as the allies confined their
defensive measures to shot and shell
and bayonet the Germans, frightful
though their losses were, poured an
endless stream of fresh troops into
the fighting line and came on. That
they gained only 100 yards or so in
week did not in the least shake
the iron determination of Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria, who is in
Flanders, squirting on his army to
fresh sacrifices.
Infantry Called Off.
But when to fire the Belglans
added icy water to the depth OF
mans stature the Germans had to call
their infantry off and send them
further south to assist in the attack on
Ypres, where the British forces are
fighting as they have never fought
since the campaigns of the duke of
Marlborough and the duke of Yelling
ton in this same corner of the Euro
pean continent.
German Artillery More Active.
Paris, Nov. 30.-The following Off
ciaI communique was issue from BOr-
deaux:
The enemy's cannonading has been
more active, but carried on chiefly
with II millimeter pieces and heavy
artillery has made itself felt very lit
tie. Under these conditions the ar
tillery struggle has turned particu-
larly to our advantage.
In Belgium our infantry captured
several supporting positions to the
north and to the south of Ypres.
In the country to the north of Arras,
one of the enemy's attacks under
taken by nearly three regiments, has
definitely failed after several counter
attacks carried out in all directions.
Between the Somme and Chaulnes
we have made perceptible progress.
In the neighborhood of the village of
Fay our troops came into immediate
contact with the wire entanglements
of the defense.
In the region of the Aisne between
Yailly and Berry au Bac group of
machine guns and foundation for 80
centimeter pieces were destroyed by
our shells, one of which caused an
explosion in one of the enemy's bat
teries
In the Vosges three counter-attacks
in the Ban de Sapt region were sue
cessively repulsed.

Charlevoix county herald., 1914-05-02

Michigan is land of opportunity,
in the opinion of Prof. Robert 5.
Shaw, dean of agriculture at Nj. A. c.
For some months the college has had
a statistician at work culling figures
relative to Michigan agriculture.
These have shown that the state has
17,826,3S6 acres of unimproved land,
a large part of which, according to
Dean Shaw, can by proper methods
be made available for farming. The
millions of acres not included in
farms are $48.5 per cent of the total
land area of Michigan. 1t is the be-
lief of the dean that opening up of
this virgin territory offers an enticing
field for the settler and will in the
future possibly triple or quadruple the
states yield of farm produce.
AS the most productive lands OF
the west have been taken up, and as
a large percentage of Michigan land
has not been developed, 1t is said,
the very best opportunities for the
young man are to be found within
this state.
In discussing Michigan's opportuni-
ties, Dean Shaw said: among the
many questions which arise probably
the most general is, why have the ag-
ricultural possibilities of Michigan not
been developed before this, consider
ing the early date at which the settle
ment of the country began. AS Mich
igan was originally a timbered coun-
try, the development of its agricul-
ture has been slow, which is also true
of other states under like conditions.
"The 48.5 per cent of land not in
farms exists largely under the follow
ing conditions: AS land covered with
standing timber; cut-over timber
lands; sand areas and land as yet un-
reclaimed by drainage.
"The lands of the first group are
held in varying acreage by private
parties, companies and corporations
