Humanity Much the Same.

There is not much difference be-
tween the various races. If you went
into a gymnasium, for instance, where
men from all the civilized white races
were dressed alike and none of them
spoke word, it would be hard to dis
tinguish the men from England and
America from those from France, Ger
many or Italy. The clew we have
now to the different races is mostly
guage.

WHAT kind of system of bookkeep-
ing do you imagine prevails or what
kind of supervision of the state en-
ployes is done by the numerous ex-
perts at the capitol when "bird'' like
Bill Essman can embezzle several thou
sand dollars of the states money? Per-
hitting an appointed employe to bank
state funds in his own name shows a
looseness in business matters that de-
mands an explanation at least.

THE money wages of farm labor, ac-
cording to the bureau Of labor stats
tics, have increased rs per cent during
the past year and about II per cent
during the past four years. Since 1907
the increase has been about 80 per cent
and yet farmers are everywhere COM
planning of their inability of finding
men who are willing to help till the
soil, while the cities are overrun with
men without Jobs.

HORRORS OF WAR
Frightful German Losses During

Last weeks Engagement
London, Oct, 27-Thc correspon
dents on the allies lines in Belgium
near the coast agree that the horrors
oi recent fighting there are the worst
C far in the war.
A correspondent Of the Standard.
.elegraphing from Calais, says that
he losses in the German ranks have
been frightful during the last week.
German officers who fall into the
hands Of the allies appear TO he al
most crazed with rage and mortlii-
cation. but the men under them are
tired out hungry and dlSheartened.
Many of them are reserViSts OF 30
Years and more and others appear TO
boys under is.
Belgian soldiers. the correspondent
.avs. have borne their trials uncom-
paininglv. One Of them said that for
= week their only food in the trenches
had been sardines and biscuits. and
lot much of either. They have beer
hungry for days but lack of drinking
water has been their chief torment,
Some are said to have sucked their
own blood to assuage thirst, which
they say is worse than German she'll
fire.
( Their chief complaint otherwise is
lack of tobacco, and when they get
any they have no time to smoke dur
ing the day. and at night it means a
court martial to exhibit even gllm,

ALLIED ARMY. IN
SHOWER OF FIRE
Germans Continue Supreme
Effort to Win Through
to Coast.
AIRMEN DROP BOMBS.
british Monitors Which Were Hit
Sunday and Put to Sea Return and
Throw Bombs at Enemy.

Paris Oct. 27-With number OF
their heavy guns mounted to protect
their front, and with hundreds OF
light pieces and rapid frers delug-
ing the allied lines with sharpnel
and bullets, the Germans continue to-
day their supreme effort to win
through to the coast from the north
east.
Inside of the Dixmude- -Nieuport
line the fighting continued without
,et-up last night the combatants
operating in the glare of enormous
searchlights that made the scene as
light as day. The rival aviators Hew
ever the trenches dropping bombs,
while the monitors of the fleet, which
withdrew to sea Sunday after three
had been hit were back throwing
shells from their long range guns.
In the territory lying southwest OF
Ypres and between Armentieres and
Lille further desperate fighting was
IN nrogress. Here the British who are
hearing the brunt Of the struggle,
are reported to be losing very heavily
But they are also said to be slowl!
forcing the Germans back to the east
and on their heavily intrenched posi-
tions at Lille.
The main purpose Of the Germans
officials at TIE headquarters OF Gene
,al Gollieni say, is apparent. They
,re now concentrating their efforts
/, break through to the coast on an
almost direct line to Dunkirk and
leaving along the coast the thin
line of French and Belgians who are
holding the coastal positions at fright
iul odds. By changing their front
after their objective is obtained and
making part of it again run to the
north and south instead of to the
east and west, the officials point out
once the Germans attain either Calais
or Dunkirk they would have a human
protecting wall between them and the
sea from the guns of the warships.
In part the Germans had succeed
ed in that maneuver on Sunday when
the British warships were compelled
to steam out to sea and quit firing
to avoid hitting their own men. But
later, when the Germans moved south
from Nieuport and again appeared
inside Of three-mile limit along the
coast. which marks the effectiveness
of the sea firing. the warships reap
peared. Today they are again in
action.
All of the reports from the north say
the fighting is constantly increasing
IN strength as the new bodies from
each side get into action. Every
hospital in Dunkirk and Calais Is
filed with wounded. and many prl-
yate houses have been Communicated
for hospital purposes. As fast as the
hospital ships can steam they go
