COULDN'T BREAK
THE FILIBUSTER
SENATORS BURTON AND KEN
YoN CONTINUE SPEECHES FOR
PERIOD OF TWO DAYS.
Democrats Despair of Stopping II
and Adjourn to Hold Conference
Before Monday.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Democratic
champions of the $34,000.000 rivers
aad harbors appropriation bill gave
up their fight to break down the fill
buster of Senators Burton and Ken
yon against the measure at $50
o'clock this afternoon after d session
which had been continued since If
O'Clock Friday morning.
Having failed to wear out the ply
steal endurance Of the senator from
Ohio and his Iowa colleague, demo-
cratic readers learned Of reinforce
ments coming for the filibusterers
and agreed to a recess until Monday.
Meantime democratic senators viii
hold conferences which may further
trim the bill, or possibly they may
reach a compromise with the opposi-
ton.
One force that Influenced the demo
Gratis to give up their entrenched po-
sitions against the filibuster was de-
clared tonight to be the presidents
attitude. Mr. Wilson has advocated
strict economy Of government eXpen-
ditures in view OF the financial strin-
gency and the forthcoming war tax.
Several democrats have proposed
that the bill be deferred until next
session. Early in the day democratic
leaders were considerably perturbed
over a report that the president had
let it be known that he favored sub
shutting for the bill a joint resolu-
ton appropriatiag from $l2,000,000 to
$15 900, 600 for the continuation of eX-
listing projects. Democratic leaders
we're greatly surprised at the report
and declared the president had not
discussed it with them. They sought
to confirm the report at the white
house Later in the day they com
municated with the president by tele-
phone. after which the senators de-
clared the president had not author
lied any statement that he favored
abandoning the bill. Later it was
said the president had urged as care
full pruning of the bill as possible.
The committee substitute for sec
ton ! of the bill cutting $l5,t00,000
from the original S53,000,000 was in
troduced today, after which Senator
Burton offered an amendment reduc-
ing the total to about S2S000, 900.
This, it is said, will form the basis
for the compromise.
Senator Borah will return to Wash
ington in time to aid the republicans
Monday and Senator Norris was
ready to help tonight had the demo-
Gratis insisted upon a night session.

Aachen, AiX-lalChapeDe. Germany,
Sept. lin most of the encounters
in Belgium the Overwhelming mum
bers of the Germans were enough TO
account for their successes. But in
the fight at Buissiere Monday, Au-
gust n, two companies of German
infantry were the cause of the rout
of an entire French army corps.
The little village of Buissiere is Ii
vided by the River Sambre.
The Germans held the village and
were encamped upon ground to the
north about quarter OF a mile from
the river.
The Forty-eighth regiment of the
second French army corps crept be-
fore sunrise to the top of a strategic
position on the south bank of the
river, where it would have seemed d
dozen rifles might have held it. Be
hind the regiment of Chasseurs-a-
Pied who reinforced their security
by a low trench behind the hedge
the 251st, the 21Sth and the 9th in
fantry regiments took their stand
Still further back on sort of sec.
ondary eminence were stationed the
9th dragons Of the fifth army corp
and five batteries OF the artillery di
visions of the same corps.
The artillery opened fire upon the
9th brigade OF The seventh German
army corps across the river. 1t did
deadly execution and so raked the
village of Buissiere, across which il
had to fire, that buildings in the con
gested portion seemed to topple over
as if rocked by an earthquake.
Finding the French fire too power
full, the Germans determined upon q
charge Two companies Of infantry
consisting only Of 500 men, advanced
at full speed down the easy slope tC
the Sambre and dashing across a
small bridge which the French were
trying to destroy with dynamite, they
charged mp a small pass.
The hedge which screened thu
enemy emitted almost co1tinuou,
tongues of flame. The effect wa.
deadly but the diminished German
companies scaled the bluff and dis
persed the French troops by bayo
net charge.
The battle Of Buissiere is typical Of
series of German encounters reach
ing from Buissiere far over thu
French border. In every case, Ger
mans testify the French soldiers
have acted with great individual
bravery, but something has beer
lacking. In Buissiere and in a mum
Der OF other encounters, the French
according to German officers, relied
too much upon artillery. 1t is the
German opinion that the French lacb
preparedness, good generalship anC
perfect coordination.

WAR SUM MARY

In the midst of heavy gales,
the battle between the allied
forces and the Germans in north
ern France continue, apparently
with undated fury, after six
days of fighting.
Seemingly the most serious en-
gagements have occurred around
Rheims, on the plateau of Croa-
onne, and near Noyon.
The French official statement
announces the capture of prison
ers near Craonle, in what is
termed rather serious engage
ment" with the Twelfth and
Fifteenth German corps. The
Germans in this vicinity have
carried out number of violent
attacks, which, however, are re-
ported to have been repuised.
The town of Rheims has been
under bombardment for three
days, the Germans using their
heavy guns from distance OF
three miles and pouring a yerit-
able rain of shells on the place,
which is one of the most histori-
cally interesting cities in France.
1t was from this town that
Joan of Arc expelled the English
in 1924. The famous cathedral of
Notre Dame, dating from the
thirteenth century, is reported to
have been struck by German
shells.
British authorities give out no
statement as to the progress OF
the battle, but have issued a list
of officers killed in action during
recent days. The list contains
the names of Captain II. N. Gren-
fell. the polo player; Captain
Lord Guernsey, eldest son of the
Earl Of Ailesford, ald Colonel f.
II. f. Boileau of the genesgl staff,
who died later of his TSTnds.
From Petrograd 1t is anhounc-
ed officially that the Russian
troops have captured the fortified
positions of Seniva and Sambor,
in Galicia. The Austrian rear
guard has been repulsed beyond
the San river and the Russians
have taken 5000 prisoners, 5000
cases of ammunition and some
guns.
Russian official reports also
say there has been no fighting
on the German frontier.
A report from the Austro-ltal-
ian frontier from Rome says that
100000 Austrian troops are now
watching the Italian border.

HOUSE OF ISRAEL
FESTIVAL OPENS
JEWISH NEW YEAR INAUGU-
RATES MOST SOLEMN SEASON
OF THE RELIGIOUS BELIEF.
Recalls Old Belief That on This Day
God Weighed the Action Of Men in
the Scales of Justice.

The feast of Rosh IIashanah on
New Years Day, which inaugurates
the most solemn season of the Jewish
religious year, begins this year on
Sunday evening, September goth, and
lasts TIL shutdown Monday, the 21st.
Among orthodox Jews who celebrate
two days, the following day, Tuesday.
is also observed. This day opens the
Jewish calendar year, 5675.
Tie observance of this day as a
holy season is commanded in two pas
sages of the Five Books of Moses,
namely, Leviticus XXIiI. 81 and IS,
and Numbers XXIX, /. In neither
passage is there any specific com
mand as to how the day is to be OBJ
served beyond the injunctions to
blow the trumpet. to hold holy co1-
vocation and TO engage in no servile
occupation.
1t is to be noted that this day IS
the first day of the seventh month Of
the day of the new moon of that
month. The new moon was observed
as holy season by the Jews of old;
the seventh month was a particularly
holy month, as the seventh day was
the hoy day OF the week; hence the
new moon of the seventh month was
invested with a Significance of far
holier import than theother new
moon days of the year. As in all holy
seasons no seryile work, no gainful
occupation was to be followed.
Tine injunction to blow the trumpet
al this day was to call the people to
remembrance before the Lord. Tn
the course of time, this ceremony ot
blowing the shofar became the Gel
trail feature Of the elaborate religious
6erYice conducted on the day Just
as the shofar called the people to re |
membrance before the Lord, so also |
were its sounds to arouse the people |
to their shortcomings and to their
duties in which they may haze failed. |
The day is called on this account !
YEN Aazikaroa-"Th Day of Me
mortal"
Another idea which in time came !
to be associated with the day was
that on this day God weighed mems |
actions in the scale of justice. For
this reason another designation Of
the day is Yom Haddin-"The Day
of Judgment" The days intervening !
between New Years Day and the Day
OF Atonemeat are called THE Ten |
Days Of Penitence," during which the
opportunity is had to reflect finally
on and repair the wrongs done during
the year; if the repentance is sincere
forgiveness is gained on the culm-

TERRIFIC FIGHTING MARKS
ADVANCE OF BIG ARMY

'The main attack was aimed to
break through the Belgian line at
Geetbetz, where the dismounted Bel
gian cavalry poured in terrific fire
annihiliating the German advance
columns. Thereupon the German
cavalry executed daring flank
movement around the Belgian posi-
tons, necessitating the slow retire
ment of the Belgians on Budingen,
where Count Dursel was killed.
THE most remarkable stand was
made outside Budingen by two Bel
gian squadrons of 24O men, who op-
posed for a long time 1000 Ger
mans.
Con the extreme north the Ger
mans stormed Diest. bombardins the
town furiously and destroying a
large part of the city.
Late Tuesday the Belgian head
quarters, having learned the enc
my's strength from aviators, decided
further resistance along this ad-
vanced line would be foolish and or
dered a gradual retirement.
"Wednesday a tremendous battle
along the whole line continued. The
hottest fighting was at Aerschot, %
miles northeast of Brussels, where
the carnage on both sides was aw-
full. The advance guard of two Bel
gian regiments made an heroic
stand, but was forced to retreat at
Z o'clock in the evening.
"At II O'Clock the Germans
reached Louvain in motor cars arm
ed with machine guns. The Belgians
continued to fall back in good order,
administering severe punishment to
the enemy all the way. Their re-
treat took them through Malines
and thence to Antwerp.

London, Aug. 23.-The Amster.
dam correspondent of the Reuter-

ing detailed account of the advance
of the Germans across Central Bel
GUM during the present week. The
account as sent by the correspond
ent was taken from an Antwerp
newspaper. 1t follows:
Tuesday morning the great adj
vance movement began along a line
extending in a broad v from Diest
to Tirlemont and st. Trond. The
Belgians retired from St. Trond as
the Germans outnumbered the Bel
gian advance guard. The first Bel
gian battle line extended along a
line of about twenty-five miles, and
included Diest, Haelen, Geetbetz
Neerlinter and Tirlemont.
GUARDED BY CAVALRY.
"Tirlemont was guarded by cav
airy attachments only while on the
other end of the line the burden
of the defense at Diest was taken
by bicycle sharp shooters.
"The battle started at daybreak
on Tuesday near Geetbetz, where the
Belgians gained the first blood by
bringing down a German aeroplane
which was scouting above the Bel
gian position. At O'Clock the Ger
mans opened their attack with large
forces Of cavalry, supported by in
fantry and artillery with machine
guns. Within a few minutes a fierce
battle was raging along the six mile
front.
FIGHTING IN THE NORTH.

wing attacked Haelen and Loxbergn.
In the south it attacked Budingen.

abel LIGHT PLANT
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Abel Without Light and Water and
Three Other Towns Are With
out Light.

Abel, Ia, Aug. 22.-Adel is en-
tirely without light and water as
the result of the destruction by fire
of the Abel Light & Power COM
pany's plant here last night. The
loss Is estimated at $4,000, of
which $4,000 was covered by insur-
ance. The fire started in the boil
er room of the plant about O'Clock
and consumed the entire building
and the Adel Roller Mills adjoining
it.
There is serious danger of a wat
er famine here, as the power COM
pany pumped all the water used in
Abel. The standpipe has been empty
for nearly two weeks and there is
no reserve supply of water on hand.
The plant was owned by J. NJ
Macy and his sons, Clarence and
Fred. Mr.. Macy at once made ar
engagements for new equipment and
intends to rebuild Immediately, but
it will be fully month before the
company can resume operations.
The company also supplied cleo
trio light for Dallas Center, Van
Meter and De Soto All of these
towns have been plunged in dark
ness. Residents of Adel were quite
dependent on the company for
light.
