Spring wheat showed a slight de-
crease, being 100000 bushels under
the September forecast yet the COM
bined crop of winter wheat and spring
wheat makes this years harvest of
that grain a record one.
With the garnering of the harvests,
more definite information as to the
size of the nations important farm
crops became available today when
the department of agriculture's crop
reporting board issued its October re-
port showing preliminary estimates
of crops already harvested and fore
casts the size of those now being gath
cred.
The total production of each crop,
as forecast on October 1. compared
with the forecast made on September
1, will show the change in prospects
during the month, and production fig

age for the five years from 1919 TO

SEPARATE ALLIES
Germans Strike Boldly on
Flank Movement.
Evidently Hope to Surround
Left Wing of French.

Paris, Oct. THE Germans, in q
surprising show Of offensive strength
are attempting to cut off the left wing
army Of General D'Amade and sur
round it.
Aviators returning from an aerial
reconnaissance reported large masses
Of German cavalry in the vicinity OF
Lille, which the observers declared was
screening large force Of infantry and
artillery moving through the region
north OF the line from Turcoing, ten
miles northeast of Lille, to Amentferes.

The route of the march OF this force
was westward and crossed the lines Of
comHnunicatfof1so Of tho French with
northern Belgium and the lines reach
expeditionary force was diSembarked,
and Ostend. the nearest important port
in Belgium. Both these ports are within
40 miles of Lille.
The Germany strategy evidently is
based on the hope of driving a wedge
through the allied line at this point,
dividing the French army, facing east
from the British force, facing north,
thus enabling them to concentrate
against that part of the line facing
north while holding the French in
their northerly positions. or effecting
a counter flanking moving by hurting
the French left flank and bending it
back toward the west.
There still intervenes between the
most northerly advanced position of
the French left and the newly as
sumed offensive line of the Germans
north Of Lille a distance of between
80 and 40 miles.

any opinion as to whether the Jap
anese landing on the island OF Jaluit,
one of the Marshall group in the Pa
cific ocean, is in violation of the an
nouncement by the Japanese foreign
office that japanese activities would
be confined TO the Far East. Secretary
Bryan is plainly expecting the early
arrival of an official statement Of the
ultimate purpose of this act.
Already the secretary has interested
himself in Japan military operations
against the German concession in
appeal from the Chinese government
against violation of Chinese integrity.
The landing IN the Marshall islands,
however, has EOt yet been made the
subject of representations to the state
department. In Samoa it IS pointed
out by officials, the United States has
a very lively interest in any change in
the sovereignty of the group because
of the proximity of the German owned
islands to the American island of
Tutuila.
On the whole, official opinion is that
while the United States is interested,
the issue is really a much greater con-
reluctance of the British Australian
colonies to have the japanese approach
their continent. the British government
itself Is understood to- have a very ex-
plicit understanding with her ally, ia
pan. that the British alone are free to
exploit the important German insular
possessions in Micronesia and in New
Guinea. An official statement is ex-
pected that the Marshall Islands, after
the extripa tion of the German naval
base there, will either be vacated by the
Japanese or turned over to the British,

ences which must terminate the pres
ent war.

DEALING WITH THE TRUSTS.
North American Review.)


Whether or not the antitrust legisla-
tion will prove beneficial or only con-
fusing is matter of conjecture, but
there can be no doubt of the breadth
and effectiveness of the administra-
tion's methods of compelling interstate
corporations to comply with both letter
and spirit of the law. There has been
no beating of tom-toms such as char
acterized the sheer antagonism of Mr..
Roosevelt, and there has been a mark
ed improvement upon the course pur-
sued under Mr.. Taft. In the face of no
little clamor from his own party's
organs, the president has steadfastly
sustained the department of justice in
it's earnest endeavors to right wrongs
without wrecking properties No less
|commendable than its firm insistence
upon law observance has been it's fair
consideration of the difficulties con-
fronting those managers of corpora.

CONVICT KILLED.

Angola, La, Nov. 10.-John Dorsey,
a white convict, serving long SEN
tence in the state prison, was shot to
death to-day by Lieut.. Ethel McRae,
after he had assaulted Capt. w. w.
Pegue. Dorsey struck Capt. Pegue
over the head with a billet of wood,
knocking him unconscious, to the
floor, and was advancing upon the
fallen man, apparently to administer
a second blow, when he was shot by
Lieut.. McRae. The cause prompting
assault is not known. Dorsey was
alone in his attack.
Dorsey was convicted in Shreveport
some months ago of burglary, robbery
and larceny, and was sentenced to
twenty-one years in the penitentiary.
He claimed to have come to Louisiana
from Chicago, and was regarded as a
desperate character. 1t is stated that
at one time he was sentenced to death
for burglary, armed with dangerous
weapon, but on new trial was given
a prison term.

FARM NOTES.

Messrs. Bob Daniel and S. L. Riggs
are shipping sugar cane to the God
chaux refinery at Reserve, and have
made a trade agreement to get sugar
in return.
Messrs. Ed and Willis Daniel are
grinding cane and making syrup.
Nearly every farmer has made fine
hay crop. Few were caught by the
short spell of bad weather last week.
But few sweet potatoes are going
out, as prices are low.
Cement floors are being put in the
hog pens at the Parker Farm. Greater
cleanliness, less cholera.
The parish ordinance allowing hogs
to run at large during the winter
months will be great drawback to the
proper curing of sweet potatoes for
storing, and the hogs will play havoc

ST. MATTHEW, 22:15-22.

Then went the Pharisees, and took
counsel how they might entangle him
in his talk.
And they sent out unto him their
disciples with the Herodians, saying,
Master, we know that thou art true,
and teachest the way of God in truth,
neither carest thou for any man: for
thou regardest not the person of men.
Tell us, therefore, What thinkest
thou? Is 1t lawful to give tribute unto
Cesar or not?
But Jesus perceived their wicked
ness, and said, Why tempt we me, ye
|hypocrites?
Shew me the tribute money. And
they brought unto him a penny.
And he saith unto them, Whose is
this image and superscription?
They say unto him, Casar's. Then
saith he unto them, Render therefore
unto Caesar the things that are Casar's;
and unto God the things that are Gods.
When they had heard these words,
they marvelled, and left him, and went
their way.
