The Days
War NeuS

The struggle between the Ger
mans and the allied forces on the
battle front in France, from
Noyon in the west to Verdun, the
French war office says, has be-
come less violent. From this 1t
would seem as IL both sides had
concluded the gaining of few
yards of ground hardly warranted
the losses entailed and are pre-
pairing for strong offensive
movement at some strategic point.
The French report they have
made progress between Rheims
and the Argonne forest. On their
left wing they have reached the
heights of Lassigny.
with them on this part of the
battle line are the British, who,
according to an official statement
issued by the British bureau, have
Jared badly since the beginning
of the war in the loss of officers.
The casualty list shows that 797
British officers are among the
killed, wounded and missing, a
very high percentage of the total
losses. Among these are thirty
two colonies and lieutenant colo
nels, eighty-five majors and 246
captains.
The German emperor has taken
up his quarters in Luxembourg,
according to a Paris dispatch. To
guard against possible raids by
French aviators a squadron Of
German aeroplanes is in readi-
ness to ward off any such at
tempts.
A Vladivostok dispatch says
that Japanese aeroplanes have de-
stroyed with bombs two of the
important forts at .Tsing-Tau, in
the German protectorate of Kiao-
Chow, while Peking reports that
British detachment left Tien-
Tsin Saturday to assist the Jap
anese in the attack on that place.
The Montenegrin army is be-
lieved to be close to Sarajevo,
capital of Bosnia. The Monte
negrin foreign office learns that
the Austrian army is in retreat.
Because of his disapproval Of
the action of the British govern
ment in seeking the conquest of
German southwest Africa, Briga-
dier General Beyers, command
ant general of the Union of South
Africa's defence forces, has re-
signed.
President Wilson will take no
further steps for the present re-
garding mediation in the Euro
pean struggle.

Hatred and Division Among

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Brigadier
General Christian Frederick Beyers,
commandant general of the Union of
South Africa's defense forces, has
resigned his post, because of his dis
approval of the action of Great
Britain in sending commanders to
conquer German southwest Africa.
The official press bureau tonight
gave out the letter of resignation of
General Beyers and the reply of Gen
eral Jan Christian SHUTS, minister
of finance and defence of the South
African Union.

General Beyers reminds General Smuts
that in August he disapproved of the
sending of commanders forces of BoeI
troops) TO conquer German southwest
Africa and expresses surprise that Par
-1iament Confirmed the resolution Of tho
government to conquer the German terri
tory without any provocation by the Ger
mans He insists that majority of the
Dutch people in the union disspproved OF
crossing the German frontier.
Referring to a statement that Great
Britain had taken part in the European
war for the sake of justice and to pro-
tect the independence of smaller nations
and comply with treaties, General Beyers
points TO the resignation of two British
ministers as evidence that a strong mi
nority cannot be convinced Of the right
eousness of war with Germany" As to
the protection of smaller nations, General
Beyers says:
Points 10 Past.
II have only to indicate how the indie
pendence of the South African republic
and of the Orange Free State was vio-
lated and of what weight the Sand River
convention was.

barbarities perpetrated on our country
during the South African war With very
few exceptions all the farms, not to men
tion many towns, were so many Lou
vains' OF which we now hear so much. "
General Beyers denies that the Germans
invaded South African Union territory
and declares IF they did the Dutch and
British would fight side by side in its
defence and that he would gladly lead
them"

VIENNA, Sept. 9l Cvie Paris.D-The be-
lief Is growing in official circles here that
Austrian reverses in Gsnoia were, to a
large extent, brought about by exact
knowledge held by the Russian war office
OF Austria's mobilization and campaign
plans, which had been obtained through
an elaborate system OF espionage.
The military authorities, IL is claimed,
| two years ago discovered that Colonel
| Alfred Redl, chief of the general staff
OF the Eighth Austrian army corps, had
betrayed information of vital Importance
| to Russia, and although II is thought
probable the Austrian general staff later
made changes In their plans the military
experts believe the notifications would
not have greatly affected the genera
basis OF campaign as worked ont.
Colonel Redl was found guilty OF being
a traitor and on tho advice Of brother
officers committed suicide

town of Dubiecko, on the river San, by
the Russians, has cut Przemysl off from
the western armies, so that It must now
rely for defense upon the Austrian and
! German army corps which are there.
General Dankl Is believed to be IN a
difficult position. Driven out OF South
Poland and separated from the main
body of the Austrian army, he has been
compelled to make a race for Cracow, in
which he was, according to Russian ac-
counts, beaten by the Russian army com

Chicago Men Held
For Operations to
Swindle w. 0. w.

CHICAGO, Sept 2i.-Dr. S. NJ Robin,
an attache of the city health department,
and Edward Singer were arrested by fed
eral officials today, charged with having
used the mails TO defraud the Woodmen
of the World OF Omaha. Postal authori-
ties declared they believed they had un-
earthed frauds of more than $4,000. The
men we're accused OF inserting false
names in membership applications, send
ing them 30 Omaha with $50 application
fee and then receiving s. fee for medical
examination.
More arrests in the case are expected
soon, according to William a. Fraser OF
Omaha, sovereign commander Of the
Woodmen. He declares the total amount
OF the alleged swindles is at least $1,000
and that II will probably exceed that sum
by considerable figure.
For some time indications have pointed
to fraud" Commander Fraser says. "Evi-
dence In our hands led US to suspect a
systematic plan TO rob MS OF small
amounts by the collection OF agency and
medical fees on false applications. Our
lawyers and detectives have been work
ing on the case quite a while, and the
frauds have been occurring for at least
eighteen months. Dr. Robin is an exam
lining physician and Edward Singer is an
agent. They are among those suspected
OF being implicated In the scheme"

 2. There are many excellent cars made which use the different types of construction. The question of merit is determined by design. It would not be fair or just to criticize different methods, as all are being used with success by the different high grade manufacturers Any type will not prove satisfactory if not properly de- signed and constructed. The manu- lecturers making the different types set forth their claims supporting their designs and it would be best for you to consult them and then draw your own conclusion.

 Motoring Departmental have five-Dassenger touring car which seems tosconsume more oil than nec- essary. Please advise the amount of oil you consider necessary to use on a trip of say 100 miles.-J. s. R..
 The oil consumption depends to a great extent upon the design of the lubrcating system. The consumption of quart of oil for every 100 miles is not considered excessive. If there are any oil leaks, of course. large quantity of oil will be wasted In the modern lubricating system the oil is used over and over and as little as possible is permitted to reach the combustion chamber. Enough must reach the working parts for proper fabrication. Too much is not only wasteful, but causes carbonization, leaky valves, etc. .,

 As the valves are ground to their seats they are naturally set lower. It is possible that there is not sufficient clearance at the end Of the valve stems or that the upper end of the valve lifters-the push rod adjusting nuts-are worn irregularly If the ad- justment is close at this point slight 1rregularity at these points is sufficient to partially unseat the valves. If the valves are ground and adjusted there should be no leaks at these points; it is possible that the compression leaks are elsewhere. Compression leaks through the valves may result any time. slight piece of dislodged carbon will unseat a valve. This may happen after a motor has been thoroughly overhauled. This is especially applicable to the ex-
