NEW TICKET
ELECTED
Big Surprise Sprung In The
Election of School
Trustees.
METCALFE AND KEACH WON.
Came Under The String By Big
MajOrities In Exciting
Contest.

The election of School Trustees in
the city Saturday turned out the most
exciting contest ever seen in the city
in a school election.
Messrs. J. E. Mcpherson and j. T.
Wall, the trustees whose terms ex-
pired. had no opposition until Friday
afternoon when Thos. l.. Metcalfe
and Harry A. Reach were brought
out as an opposition ticket. The
fight was pitched on "a change"
no charges being made against the
old trustees, whose management has
been highly satisfactory. All of the
candidates took the field in person
and it became an exciting race in
which the interest kept up until A
O'Clock, although the new ticket was
leading at noon and increased it's
lead until the contest was no longer
doubtful by two o'clock.
The opposition to the old ticket
proved to be we'll organized move
ment and an army of workers lined
up behind the new ticket that swept
all before it.
The results were as follows, the
two first named being elected:
Thos T MatoaIfa 69A
Harry A Reach. .527
j. 7. Wall ........... 1893
j. E. Mcpherson. go. 80. 1874
The total vote was about $50. of
which 100 was cast by women, who
at one time almost filled the city
court room in which the election was
held.
Mr.. Mcpherson is one of the faith
ers of the public schools. He has
been on the board of trustees for q
years, most of that time as secretary
He is thoroughly familiar with the
work in all its branches and even
those who opposed him concede that
his long service has been faithful, eff
ficient and unselfsh Mr.. Wall has
been trustee for 9 years and has CIV
en- close and conscientious attention
to the duties of a position that pays
no salary. There are no better men
in the city, but they were simply
overcome by the demand for "ro-
tation in office"
Their successors are active, wide
awake and successful business men
The vote they received attests their
popularity.

calling special attention to state hail

the fact that it was especially de-
signed for the benefit of the grain
growers OF the state. Every effort

Amsterdam, via London, Oct. q
1850 p. ma dispatch from the Ger
man capital says that the Berliner
Tageblatt prints an article by it's
military correspondent, Major Nor
aht, who while asserting confidence
that there will be a fresh German ad-
vance on Paris, is careful to add:
But there is another possibility.
What would be gained by the allies
If they force back our right wing TO
the Belgian frontier Nothing but
the passing success which would be
the beginning of the end OF the
Franco-British presumption of vic
tory"
Major Moraht then explains that
the further the allies move from Yer
dun and Toul. which he says form
their last great strongholds, the lon
ger is the distance they must travel
back when the stream of German ar
mics, broad and unhindered, flows
westward from Lorraine.

COMPLAINT
BY GERMANS
A BERLIN STATEMENT CLAIMS
THAT WOUNDED ON THE BAT.
TLEFlELDS HAVE BEEN MUTlL-
ATED AND TORTuRED-HINT AT
NEW INVASION OF FRANCE
FROM LORRAINE.

Washington, Oct. 2.-An official re-
port from the foreign office at Berlin
was made public tonight by Count
Bernstorlf, German ambassador,
charging that wounded soldiers had
been tortured and mutilated by the
French irregular soldiers, who at.
tackled a field hospital in the north
of France. The town was demol-
ished as a result. The report said:
From headquarters General Won
Soldering reported to the emperor
that a field hospital at Orchies in the
north of France was attacked by
franctireurs (snipers) on September
"a. A punitive expedition encount-
cred superior forces and had to re-
treat, leaving 35 wounded. On the
following day the Bavarian TROOPS
met no enemy and found Orchies de-
serted, but found there 90 wounded
Germans left the day before horribly
mutiated. Their noses and ears were
cut off and they were suffocated by
inserting sawdust into their mouths
and noses. Correctness of this evi-
dence was authenticated by two
French priests. Orchies thereupon
was demolished"
(Here part of the wireless message
was mutilated in transmission
AS to military operations the dis
patch said:
"On September 80 decision as to
the battle still hangs in air. The
French attacks from Verdun and
ToW were repulsed. The siege Of
Antwerp is progressing, two forts al
ready being silenced. Mechlein has
been occupied. In the battle around
Michlein strict order was given not
to lombard the town."

SHIFT IN
ATTACK BY
INVADERS
GERMANS THROW HEAVY REIN.
FORCEMENTS INTO OFFENSIVE
ON RIGHT WING BUT ARE RE
PULSED BY THE ALLIED AR
MIEs WHICH CONTINUE TO
MAKE CERTAIN GAINS.

On the Battle Front, via Paris, Oct.
2.-9 p. ma thrill was in the air
all day along the extended allied lines
today. The French and British
troops who for more than a fortnight
have been in the closest contact with
the Germans felt they had accom-
pished their hard task of preventing
them breaking through the human
barrier erected between them aad
Paris, their main objective, and that
this meant eventual victory for the
allies.
The lines of trenches make the bat
tie front appear like deeply SCARED
fields. The allies, who quickly
learned the lesson of burrowing, at
some places face the Germans within
quarter of a mile. Their field en-
trenchments offer admirable shelter
from the German artillery which con-
sequently reduced their casualties
and permits the allies to await in
comparative safety the German at
tacks, which must be made across
the open and often at terrible cost.
The fury of the German onslaughts
was unabated today, especially on the
western wing, but their every effort
was met with yigor by the allies, who
seemed to vie with each other in
using all their strength and courage
against the attackers.
The scene of the most violent at
tacks changes daily. The Germans
finding it Impossible to penetrate the
allied lines in the vicinity of Rheims,
quickly transported many of their di-
visions farther northwest and today
hurled them against Roye. Again
they failed, although tonight they had
not ceased their efforts to batter
down the resistance.
The allies great turning movement
continued today and their western
wing extended toward Arras. Re-
ports from the other end Of the line
of the frontier show the progress Of
the allies to be sure but slow Hun
dreds of German prisoners fell into
the hands of the allies at every point
and it was remarked that the major
ity were Bavarians, who seem to
have been prominent in front of the
German attack.

On Prussian Frontier.

Petrograd, Oct. General staff
headquarters today issued the follow
ing statement;
The battle on the front in eastern
Prussia continues on the line OF Mari
ampol, no decisive result having OBJ
tanned. We are occupying the Ger
man positions at PreskasnO, west of
Symne.
Under a strict offensive attack by
the Russians the enemy retired from
Leipouny, in the direction of Suwalki
"On the road from Seyny, north
ward to SuwaIki, the movement o.
the Germans, pursued by the Rus
sian cavalry under protection of ar
tillery became at times a disorderly
retreat.
Fierce fighting is going on in the
Vicinity of Suwalh. German rein
forcements hurried toward Marggra-
bow to the rescue of the retreating
troops, took the offensive in front Of
Augustowo and Suwalk.
Near Raczka the Germans made
night bayonet charges but met with
heavy casualties.
"Augustowo was being bombarded
with heavy artillery from the north
west side of the town up to the aft
ernoon of October 1 when the Rus
sian infantry took the offensive and
rove the enemy from that region.
The enemy also was forced to
evacuate st. Shutshin and Grajewo,
where the Russian troops invaded
German territory.
The Russians have captured auto
mobile trucks from a German column
operating against Ossowetz.
"On the Mlawa line the enemy
made an offensive demonstration but
was repulsed by Russian troops"

were killed, eight severely injured
and several slightly hurt.

More heavy fighting is taking
place at Augustowo, 140 miles north
east of Warsaw, in the province Of
Suwalki, where the Germans have re-
ceived reinforcements and have been
taking tn offensive. At Grajewo, 25
miles southwest of Augustowo, the
Russians again have entered German
territory, and at Mlawa they claim a
victory over the Germans.

Feared to be shaken for an instant,
but on they came.
I'VE could see the officers in the
lead waving their swords and encour-
aging their men to the assault. An
other volley and the second line
thinned out; but a third line came on
and the mass crossed the line of wire
defence.
when the charge was sounded we
rushed forward to meet them. Then
our boys commenced to fall, but our
impetus was too much for the aristo-
cratic guard, which was moved down
and dispersed.
"Of one regiment only a single
company remained. 1t was led by a
tall lieutenant with a boys face.
This company stood to the last man
and the last man was the lieutenant.
He refused to surrender and stood
his ground alone until the bayonets
of the Zouaves brought him down."
