AUSTRIANS ADMIT
RUSSIAN VICTORY


Vienna, via Rome, Sept. 6.-Serious
reverses of the great Austrian armies
led by General Moritz Won Auffen-
berg, former war minister, and Gen
eral Danki, who has been in supreme
command in the invasion of Russian
Poland, are admitted by the war of
fee.
The failure of General Formers
army to hold the line between To
masczow, in the Russian Poland prov
ince Of Lublin, is declared to have
been responsible.
Danki's troops had moved fast
through Poland and were attaining
material success when the Austrian
army in front of Lemberg was forced
to retreat and evacuate that city on
account of an overwhelming flank
movement.
Reinforcements. which included ar
tillery, reached the scene too late 90
be of service in retrieving the day,
but were used to cover a backward
QoVement.

GERMAN LOSSES NOW
PLACED AT 100000

London, Sept. 6.-The Daily Nails
correspondent at Gisors, a French
town near Beauvais, says the total
losses of the allies are 10000 and the
losses of the Germans 100000. He
says a moderate estimate Of the Ger
man losses places them at 20 per cent
at least.
Sheer weight of numbers has push
ed the Germans forward at the amaZ-
ing rate of twenty-five miles a day,
the correspondent adds. The Germans
have shown no superiority in artil-
lery or transport. The rapidity of
their advance has been due largely
to their use of the automobile for
transportation.
The British commissariat has per-
fected the following menu for each
man on the firing line:
Daily-A pound of bread with
cheese and jam, pound and quar-
ter of bacon, pound and quarter
of beef, with tea and rum; two ounces
of tobacco weekly.

The HELPLESS HOST.

TT is not mine to make a joke
Or drink toast:
Not mine to contradict when folk
Their proWess boast.
IT'S mine to list to Jones, the bore;
To greet his stories with roar
And. greatly daring. ask for more.
I am the host.
3YTNIS mine to bid the guests sit down
- In honeyed tones,
To carve the liver wing for Brown.
The breast for Jones;
To heap the plates with dainties rare,
To give each man the gourmet's share
And make my dinner from the bare
Residual bones.
r HOVER round the evening through,
4 A silent ghost,
Complacently endured by few,
Ignored by most.
But, let them f1out me as they will,
One privilege is left me still
That is to liquidate the bill.
I am the host!

[''The Star Spangled Banner" AZ
written by Francis Scott Key in
honor Of the defense of Fort Nc

- n, say. can you see by the
l what g proudly " hailed
~ at the twilight's last
cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright
stars through the perilous fight
Ger the ramparts we watched
were SO CALAMITY streaming?
And the rockets red glare. the
bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that
our flag was still there.
Oh. say. does that star spangled
banner yet wave
Ger the land Of the free and the
home Of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through
the m1StS or the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in
dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze DER
the towering steep
AS 1t fitfully blows half conceals,
half discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN Of the
mornings first beam,
III fun glory reelected, now shines
in the stream?
IT'S the star Spangled banneri Oh,
long may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave!
And where is that band who SO
vauntingly strove
That the havoc of war and the
battles confusion
A home and country should leave
us no more?
Their blood has washed out their
foul steps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling
and slave
From the terror of flight or the
gloom of the grave.
And the star spangIed banner in
triumph doth wave
Ger the land Of the free and the
home Of the brave!
Oh thus be it ever when freemen
shall stand
Between their loved homes and the
wars desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may
the heav'n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made
and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must when our
cause it Is just,
And this be our motto: I'm God Is
Our Trust
And the star spangled banner in
triumph doth wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave!

Unfair Methods.

The Freeman-Tribune emphatical-
ly dissents from the conclusion of
Rev. Kamphoefner that the criti-
cisms of some of the methods" of
the anti-saloon league by the Free
man-Tribune were unfair. The
league has set itself up as the Judge
of the fitness of candidates to fairly
represent such constituency as
Senator Chase's and merely because
Mr.. Chase did not see fit to answer
a set of questions, the league puts
him down as unfriendly to temper
ance legislation. The Freeman-Trib-
une cannot be successfully accused
of being blind partisan Of Senator
Chase, but this paper knows some
thing of his record as a legislator

is: That we don't want the United

We wish to avoid, emphatically,

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Webster City People Should Learn
to Detect the Approach Of
Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are many. Disordered kidneys often
excrete thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by a sensation
of scalding. The back may ache,
headaches and dizzy spells may &C.
cur and the victim is often weighted
down by feeling of languor and
fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger. Delay often
proves fatal.
You can use no better endorsed
kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills. Here's Webster City proof OF
their merit.
Mrs. Martha Butler, 1905 Third
St.. Webster City, says: II had
rheumatic pains quite awhile and
never found any remedy that did
me much good until 1 took Doan's
Kidney Pills. Another of my family
has also used them with benefit.
highly recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to anyone who has kidney
trouble"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
