Retarded by Bad Weather.

On the center and left il is stated
the situation is unchanged. The op-
erations in Alsace-Lorraine and i'm the
Vosges are being greatly retarded by
bad weather and snow at certain
points.
In the eastern theater OF war the
Germans continue to gain ground
against the Russians, and there is now
not a single Russian on German soil.
Reports received from Vienna say
that Austrian troops have occupied
the fortified heights of Starosav, to
the east of Chyrow, and they have
also moved south along the San river,
so they can successfully resist the
Russians from Przemysl.
The Russians have attempted to
check the progress of the Austrian
forces marching to relieve the for
tress, but in every instance they have
been defeated. Temporary bridges
thrown across the San river by the
Russians have been destroyed by the
drowned.
In the fighting in the Carpathians
the Austrians have retaken Harrow
after a four-day battle.
All the Russians have been driven
off the Hungarian plains and the Aus
trians have retaken the passes through
the Carpathians, according to the lat.

says.

London, Oct 19.-The German army
that successfully besieged Antwerp
has swept VIGOROUSLY westward
along the Belgian coast until now,
with its right resting on Ostend, it
forms the extreme right of the Teu-
ton line stretching from the North
sea to the Swiss frontier.
A great battle to determine whether
the advancing German hosts will be
stopped in Western Belgium or push
on into France, seizing Dunkirk and
Calais, on the Strait of Dover, must
come soon and quite possibly is being
fought.
Official intelligence is markedly
meager and this is invariably the
case when the belligerents are par
ticularly active.
The French official statement says
the German troops occupying Western
Belgium have not crossed the line
running from Ostend south to Menin.
The allied left wing appears to be
holding it's ground. At some points
it is moving forward having occupied
Laventie, driving the Germans back
in the direction of Lille. In the re-
gion of Ypres, on the right bank of
the river Lys, the allied troops have
occupied Fleurbaix, as well as the
immediate approaches to Armentieres.
Gains also are reported officially in
the region of Arras and in the vicin-
ity of St. Mihiel
Germans Thwarted, Says Paris.
Paris advices say the allies by ex-
tending their lines to the coast have
prevented the attempt of the Germans
to turn their flank and obtain posses
sion of the ports of Dunkirk and Ca
lais and even predict that the march
ing left wing" of the allies soon will
drive the Germans out of Lille. The
Times correspondent at Bordeaux
says the general impression prevails
there that France is on the eve of
the liberation Of French soil from the
invaders. 1t is believed the Germans
will be forced to weaken their CEN
ter, thus relieving Rheims and Sois-
sons.
This will endanger General Won
Kluck's army and may compel the re.
treat of the army of the crown prince

Situation Good From
Their Viewpoint.
ARMIES IN BELGIUM
AND FRANCE IN TOUCH
Operations Further South Re-
tarded by Bad Weather.

Berlin, via The Hague, Oct. 19.-
That the German forces operating in
Belgium have effected a junction with
the right wing of the army in France
was announced at the war office.
1t was stated that the general sit
uation is showing slow, but neyerthe~
less distinct, Improvement from the
German viewpoint
In France the German right wing
has been engaged in a series of con-
fiicts with the allies along the line
from Noyon and Roye into Belgium
These encounters, the war Office says,
while taking on the character of ac-
tual battles, have been in the nature
of separate movements in which both
sides have gained slightly at certain
points and lost at others.
But at no point, it is stated, has
there been any decisive results. Two
or three of the positions, it is de-
clared, have been taken and retaken
three or four times. The weather is
said to be bad, and this has had the
effect of slowing down the rapid
movement of troops.
Ostend, it is stated, was occupied
by the Germans without a struggle
The German advance cavalry patrols
found when they reached the out
skirts of the town that the allies had
retreated, abandoning the intrench-
ments which they had constructed
north and east of the city. The bur
gomeister of Ostend in person sur
rendered the city to the German
forces

A new top was put on prime natives today. at $9. 80, highest on record here for July and branded steers brought $9.6 These sales were in the heavy class, and yearlings, both steers and heifers, sold freely at $9. .25 to $950.

 but grassy cattle of poor quality are seasonably lower. Veal calves are firm, and bring up to $10. The supply of quarantine cattle is 130 cars today, largely middle class Oklahoma grass cattle. Good cake fed steers, and good grassers are selling steady to strong today in the quarantine division. but slippery stuff is lower. Ample moisture is reported from nearly every section, but unless rain falls within a few days, several hun dred cars of cattle will be forced to go to market from the Kiowa and Flora districts.

Timber Supply In
 Southeastern Arizona

A Lumberman from the Dis
 trict Office of the Forest Service
 has just returned from three
 months trip in southern and eastern Arizona. While on this
 detail a general market study was made of the timber used in the mining districts of the southeastern part of the state. An examination was also made of the timber on the Apache National Forest to fill this de- mand which at present is being supplied with timber shipped in from the coast. It is the desire of the Forest Service that all of the material to furnish the mlnes and industries Tn Arizona be supplied with~timber grown within the state. There is, when transportation facilities are provided, sufficient standing timber on the National Forests to do this. It is hard to estimate the benefits that would result to the State in case this were made possible, since the large sums of money now being sent to other states for supplies would be spent at home, adding both directly aud indirectly to the prosperity of the other local industries.
 That railroad can be con- structed to tap the vast areas of timber on the Apache National Forest and the White Mountain Indian Reservation is considered possible. the length of such a line would be from 70 to 80 miles and would connect with the Ari- zona and New Mexico Railway at Clifton. Besides the traffic that could be developed from the hauling of timber, it wonld be in line to handle stock and other commodities produced in the re- zion between the A., T. 6 s. F. Railway.
 A railway such as described would make accessible to the local people of Arizona and the thou sands of tourists that annually come west, one one of the most beautiful recreation grounds in the southwest and for beautiful scenery, excellent climate and fishing. a region that IS hard to surpass in the west. A great number of people now come to the region. but with transporta- tion facilities such as railroad, more could avail them selves of the privilege.
 The vast quantities of timber taken in connection with the other resources of the region. coupled with the large and in- creasing demand for timber in the southern. part of the State, make the construction of such a | road strong possibility.

IF you would be abreast OF the very
i latest things in millinery, or just a
little ahead of what has really arrived,
select a lacy tuscan or hair braid for
your midsummer hat. 1t was inev-
liable that these fragile-looking and
filmy braids should be brought out
along with all the frivolities in fash
ions of times gone by with which the
summer girl has determined to garb
her fair body.
In the picture a hat is shown made
on a fairly large frame, which is first
covered with crepe. 1t is raised at the
left by a wide bandeau covered with
the crepe also. This is one of those
efforts in millinery which require
much skill, and put the art of the mil.
liner to test in the making. The crepe
covering must be cut to fit the frame
and put on with finished neatness.
After the adjustment of the crepe
the braid is sewed over the brim and
crown 1t is placed with scalloped
edge extending beyond the brim edge

means thatIthe mother has invested in
the boy from the time he was born

more than twenty-one hundred dollars
in hard work.
What has the father done for the

food and lodging. paid the doctors

his schooling, and his bills when he
went to college, SO that when l make
the average amount expended by the

his father and mother have expended
upon him in cash and hard labor more
than $4,000.

EVOLVING PLAN TO
