GERMAN HEAVY
ARTILLERY CUMBER.
som SAYS EXPERT
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Oct. 20-The question has
been many tines asked why the Ger
mans with their great numbers and
their overwhelming superiority in ar
tillery, after having broken the resist
ance of the Allies at Charleroi and
penetrated to the very gates of Paris,
were unable to maintain their posi-
lions. The military science of Cen
eral Joffre certainly furnished one re-
ply to that question, but military
writer in the Liberte du Sud thinks
there is another in the cumbersome
character of the German heavy ar
tillery.
The famous German mortars, the
"brummers" are capable of firing a
14-inch shell as long as man of
average height a distance of eight
miles. They were considered most re-
doubtable before the war and, in fact,
they did terrible execution on the forts
of Liege and other fortified positions,
but since their entry into France not
much has been heard from them, ex-
cepting the exploits at Rheims and at
Mauberge
1t has been discovered that this i'm
mense fighting machine is nearly as
delicate in its mechanism as it is for
midable. 1t requires experts to fire =,
most Of the gunners being engineers
from the Krupp works, and when some
thing happens to them, as has been the
case when they have come within
reach of the "Turcos", it is almost i'm

necessary that the mortars be INSTALL
ed in favorable position with we'll
laid foundations; consequently when
pre-arranged plans are disturbed their
efficiency is greatly reduced. 1t re-
quires good roads also, and even then
it takes forty horsepower to draw one
of them, consequently they do not fit
in very well with the equipment Of an
army that depends upon it's speed to
win; and rainy weather, of course, is
not at all good for them. Again, their
effectiveness is neutralized when the
French "75" is able to get inside it's
long range and it does not stand long
against the terrible hammering Of
which this gun is capable.
Finally, tbs expert thinks that in
case of forced retreat most of these
heavy mortars are likely to be found
by the French stuck in the mud

Russians Rejoice as The

deep. The Russians are completely
equipped for meeting such conditions,
while the Germans are not.
Hundreds of the wounded on both
sides have persisted from cold. OF those
who could be rescued by the Red Cross
many will die, their wounds having be-
come infected. There are many cases
of lockiaw. At many points on the iso-
lated battlefield great packs of wolves
have come out of the forests and down
the mountains and have devoured the
dead and wounded So bold are they
that they have not hesitated TO attack
isolated bands Of soldiers.
In their retreat the Germans burned
all of the villages along the route, ac-
cording to the latest advices received
from the front The inhabitants have
suffered greatly and the Russian gov
enmcnt has already taken steps to re-
lieve them.
Advices from the Turkish frontier
say that the Russian advance is con-
tinuing unchecked. Only the Cauca-
sian troops are engaged, although re-
Inducements are being sent to their
aid as they will be compelled to pene-
trate a mountainous country through
which there are no railroads and only
Indifferent roads for a distance of more
than seven hundred miles. Until the
GOeben and Breslau are sunk it will
he impossible for the Russians to at
tempt to send troops across the Black
Sea.
The official statement covering the
war developments issued by general
stan today declares that after being
driven from in front of Warsaw the
Germans attempted a stand on the left
bank Of the Vistula but were repulsed.
Detail Of each engagement are given
and the statement concludes:
Developing over period of Is days
our success along a front of 1893 miles
resulted in breaking down the general
resistance of the enemy everywhere.
The Germans in the north and the
Austrians in the south are now in full
retreat and our main armies are now
in position to carry their task to COM
pletion."

PETROGRAD, Nov. 7.--All Russia
is today celebrating what is officially
characterized as "the greatest vic
tory Of the war" Official accounts
agree that the general advance
against Berlin, halted when the. Ger
mans invaded Russian Poland in
force, has now been resumed. Three
great armies are pressing forward.
The Russian right wing under Cen
eral Rennenkampf is reported to
have pushed all across the East
Prussian frontier. It's objective will
again be Koenigsberg. The Russian
central army, which decisively de-
feated the Germans in front of War
saw, Is keeping up its westward
movement and is severely harassing
the Germans, who have several times
attempted to resume the aggressive,
only to be defeated with losses. In
Galicia, the Austro-German forces
have been defeated all along the line
OF the San river with the exception
of a small section around Przemysl,
which has been screened. The Aus
TRANS are falling back on Cracow
and the Russians are again headed
for this position.
II is stated here that the losses of
the Austro-German armies have been
very large in the last three weeks
They have stubbornly attempted to
retain their positions in the face Of
severe artillery fire, with the result
that many men have been needlessly
sacrificed.
During the last week it is stated
that $4,000 prisoners have been taken
including some officers Of high rank
The Russians have also captured
large quantities Of war munitions
cannon, automobile guns and rapid
frers.
The Germans are suffering great,
from lack of proper clothing for coli
weather fighting. In the north Their
have been heavy SHOWS and in the soutl
sleet and cold rains. The entire cOun
try is a quagmire. The roads have beef
cut up by the heavy transports and ar
sloughs Of mushy mud more than a foo

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced BY Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhoodis a try.
ing one to most women and marks dis
nelly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment atsuch
times, but many approach the expert
cnce with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it Is over
her system has received a shock from
which II is hard TO recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
81 caring for the child, and q distinct
change In the mother results
There Is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplsjnable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprcpared condition. and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
win persist in going blindly to the trial
Every woman at this tine should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkhsm's Vegetable
Compound, q most valuable tonic and
