ino reports concerning the situation
at the front are current here today.
Rumors, printed in a number Of the
papers, tell Of the breaking Of the

authorities have no confirmation Of
this report. They very frankly state

ward and the reinforced army Of Gen.
eral D'Amade continues its pressure
on the "hooked" end Of the German
position which extends north and
south from the oise and the Aisne
triangle, the German resistance is
still strongly maintained.
There 10 no doubt that the break In
the German line Is expected. For the
Iast three days reinforeements have
been poured to the north and the lat
est line Of battle obtainable, made
public yesterday afternoon, shows
that there has been little change In
the positions since last Friday.
Not a single word that could be
construed as official was obtainabie
at military headquarters today. BY
orders from Bordeaux, comment In

war office must not be made. But
officials contented themselves with
pointing out thar the official COM

was stated that the allies were con.

that fighting Of the most severe char

The rumor that General Won kiuck
had offered to surrender has been
widely circulated ever since the battle
Of the Marne. In fact one news agency
sent a report from its ostend cores
pondent that he actually had surren-
dered, rumor that has met with
prompt and official denial. t
The latest report emphasizes the
French have occupied Perrone. This
announcement was, however, made on
Sept. "a when it was stated that the
French had carried that city by storm
and that II was then being used az
headquarters for the operations
against st. Quentin. Because Of this
fact the suggestion is made that lat
est report Of the routing Of the Ger
man right may be based upon the

an official statement issued at
a o'clock this afternoon, the
Belgian war office announced
the German long range bom-
bardment of the outer chain
of Antwerp Notifications has
abated. It is stated that for
several hours the Germans con-
centrated the fire Of their long
range guns on Forts Waelhelm
and Wayre in an endeavor to
silence them. The Belgian
forts replied 30 vigorously
that they succeeded in dis
mounting two Of the German
guns and the bombardment
suddenly stopped. It is not ex-
pected that it will be resumed
until the arrival Of long range
mortars that are now being
brought up from the south.
The official statement also
declared in the fighting in the
vicinity of Forts Lieele and
Breedoniek, the Germans made
an attempt to carry them by
storm, but were repulsed,
with heavy losses. The state
ment then says: The result of
the days fighting confirms
our confidence in Antwerp's
ability to resist a siege.

PROGRESS of the South.-The sixteen

PROGRESS of the South.-The sixteen
southern states have a population Of
3S,0OO.000. In 1880, the United
States had a population OF 50,0OO,O 900.
Al that time. and very justly so, the
United States was regarded as one or
the greatest and richest nations OF
the world. The south of today, with
$4,000, 900 people, is in many respects
far ahead of the United States OF
1880 with 50.000,000.
The people of the south have $780,
100000 more in individual deposits in
the banks and trust companies or
this section than the people of the
United States had in similar instl-
tutions in 1880.
The south is mining almost twice as
much coal as the United States then
mined. 1t is producing four times as
much petroleum, its output last year
having been 100.000,000 barrels,
against 26,0OO,O0O barrels for the
United States in 1880.
The south has $700,000,000 more
capital invested in manufacturing
than the United States had in 1880,
and the value of its agricultural out
put exceeds by some hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars the total agricultural
output of the United States in 1880.
The south has far more capital in
vested in cotton manufacturing than
the United States then had, and is
consuming in its own mills about
twice as much cotton as was then
consumed in the mills Of the country.
The value of exports from southern
ports is only a few million dollars
less than the total export trade OF the
United States in 1880.
The south expended last year upon
the maintenance of its public schools
S9O.O0O.O00, or 100000 more than
the United States with its 5O,OOO.OOO
people expended upon public educa-
ton in 1SS0.-Richard II. Edmunos'

dering on the Rio Grande, went FOR
ward late today to President wilson
from Gov. o. B. Colquitt OF Texas. Tne
request was made for the purpose OF
demanding the surrender OF the ap-
ductors and murderers" Of Clemente
Vergara, a Texas citizen, executed by
Mexican Federals. Then apparently
answering the question himself, the
governor asked consent OF the United
States 'fn view of the condition OF
revolution and anarchy in these border
states, to send Rangers across the Rio
Grande in pursuit Of the lawless eie-
ment of either faction when they cross
into Texas and commit crimes. IN
sist. Mr.. President, that Texas as
Sovereign state is entitled to the pro-
lection of Texas citizens on the poraer

which now exists" concluded the mes
sage Earlier in the day Governor
Colouitt had put in motion an investi-
CATION of the Vergara incident through
state channels. The first result was IN
formation from the Webb county rec
ords asserting positively that the is
land where Vergara is said to nave
been seized, belongs to Texas.
