BOTH REMAINING CONFIDENT

London, Oct. "A Paris dis
patch to the Daily Telegraph says:
"a fight is proceeding on part of
the allies left resembling that at
Paardeberg, in the South African
war. Nearly 1000 Germans are in
the same plight as General Cronje
was. They are completely surround
ed by French troops in some quar-
tiers where they are cut off from all
hope of rejoining their division and
are being shelled."

are being shelled.''
London, Oct. 2.-The battle of
the Aisne, now nearing the end OF
it's third week, will soon outstrip in
respect to time the great contest
fought at Mukden nearly ten years
ago, but still no decisive result has
been reached by either side. The
French official communication issu-
ed yesterday afternoon was condens-
ed into about thirty words, which is
one of the shortest given to the pub
lie since the war began. It records
that progress has been made BY
both right and left wings of the
allied armies, but gives absolutely
no details or the extent of progress.
Military experts however, believe
that the great claws, as they have
been described, continue to open to
clutch at the outspread wings of the
German army, particularly the
right, which forms the upright por-
ton of the L., and now has it's back
to the east, fighting with despera.
tion to prevent the French lett
from encircling or smashing it along
most of the front, estimated at $50
miles in length.
Both sides appear to be full of
confidence The Germans, who are
bringing up reinforcements to meet
the enemy are believed to be in al
most impregnable positions and are
using them skillfully, fighting to re-
tain. The allies, on the other hand,
place their hopes in the arrival of
reinforcements on their left and the
possibility of finding weak spot in
the German front.
The Indian troops should now be
with the British army, the official
bureau having yesterday permitted
the publication of the fact that
they landed in France on Friday,
last.
Of course it is not known where
the Indian troops are going, but it
Is believed that the left wing will
be stiffened by them. Some of the
territorials also have reached Field
Marshal French. These include the
London Scottish, one of the best OF
Englands volunteer regiments, re-
cruited from Scotchmen in London.
They have reached high state OF
efficiency, and in their ranks are
some of the best marksmen in the
empire. Among them are a number
of men who competed with the Unit
ed States for the Palma trophy a
few years ago.
The artillery has played by far
the most important part in the
struggle, but on the German right
the lighter guns, cavalry and infan-
try are doing most of the fighting
with a, stubbornness and disregard
of life that people have so often said
in recent years modern soldiers new
er would display.
There have been unprecedented
artillery duels between the rivers
Disc and Aisne and between the
Disc and the Somme, which have
taken heavy toll of the opposing
armies, followed by cavalry and in
fantry charges in which first one
and then the other side would gain
or be compelled to give ground.
Still they have held on, the Ger"
man wing being extended further
northward as the French made an
other move to work around it. With
an unlimited supply of troops this
might go on for an indefinite per-

GERMANS ARE WEARING OUT

At the Battle Front (via Parisl
Oct. 2.-The generals in command
Of the allies are full of praise fol
the corps of dispatch riders who
since the beginning of the great
battle of the Aisne have kept up
communication between the various
corps along the line now spreading
from the Somme to the Moselle and
along the frontier of Alsace-Lor-
raine.
The dispatch riders are mostly
volunteers from British universities,
many of them very wealthy youths.
Night and day they have made
dashes through the country infest-
ed with German cavalry, carrying
messages which have kept the
brigades and army corps in close
touch and enabled commanders to
send reinforcements to the points
where they were most needed.
On many occasions these dispatch
riders, mounted on motorcycles, by
sheer audacity and speed, have
scattered accommodating parties OF
German cavalry, sometimes facing
enormous odds in their dangerous
work.
The recent terrible hand to hand
conflicts on the western and east
ern wings arose from the attempts
Of the German and the allied gen.
erals to execute flanking move
ments in great force at the same
time in the open country. The
lines of the armies have been grow
ing even longer in the last ten days
in mutual endeavor to overlap
each other.
The wings have been heavily re-
|inforced, but the allies have been
able to bring greater power to bear,
and not only have prevented the
Germans from breaking through,
but have gained ground steadily and
now have the advantage.

PLAN MERGER OF SOCIETIES
Too Many Conventions and Too Many
Fees Has Been complaint-WIII
Vote at Next State Meet.

Madison.-A reorganization Of the
Wisconsin Teachers association is be-
ing given consideration. The plan is
proposed by the council of administers
ton of the state association, giving
heed to a long standing complaint
Of too many teachers conventions and
too many fees. At present there are
teachers associations in half a dozen
sections of the state besides the state
association, all of which meet annual
ly. BY the reorganization plan it is
proposed to merge them all, the state
association meeting every two years
and the sectional meetings to be held
in alternate years. In other words,
the state teachers will meet as a unit
one year, and in sections in their dis
tricts the next year. Teachers under
this plan will belong to a federation,
and be entitled to attend any or all
sectional meetings for one fee.
The plan will come up for a vote
before the state meeting at Milwau-
kee next fall, and if carried, will 20
into effect in 1916, provided the dis
trict associations in the meantime
amend their constitutions to make It
possible. Little or no opposition has
been offered to this plan so far.

WANT GAME LAWS CHANGED
amendment for Further Protection of
Deer viii Be Subject of Fight
Before Legislature.

Milwaukee.-Some very decided
changes in the game laws are to be
proposed at the coming session of the
legislature. The question which will
attract the most attention will be that
OF greater protection for deer, and not
only will the bill which has been Of
Tered several times previously, to pro-
hloit altogether the shooting of does.
De presented, but another measure
VIII be introduced which will limit
the deer season to ten days and thus
reduce the open season for deer.
hunting to exactly one half the period
at present allowed.
NO attempt will be made at the
coming session to repeal the law pro-
hloitlng the shooting Of ducks in the
spring. Supporters of spring shooting
nave become convinced, it is said, that
there Is no chance for the passage of
law restoring spring shooting and
nave therefore decided to abandon the
long light which has been made for a
restoration of spring shooting.
Ihere are some changes to be pro-
posed In the fishing as well as the
hunting laws, but they will not be as
important as the amendments which
are desired to thelhunting laws.

WILL SELL WI FRANCHISE
Oeclsion OF Madison Club to Sell
Holdings In League May Mean
Its End.

Madison.-The franchise of the Mad
lson baseball club has been put on
the auction block and will be disposed
of to the highest bidder.
The decision to take this action was
reached at a meeting of the directors
OF the club. The association has been
struggling along for several years
with a debt of few thousand dollars
hanging over its head and the direc-
torate has decided to give up the bat
tie to get even and put a 1915 team on
the diamond.
The decision of the Madison club
will probably mean the end of the
Observation-Disclosures league. At the
Omaha, Neb., meeting of minor league
heads the Oshkosh team put its fran
chise on the market. There were no
bidders.

River Falls came back strong during

The play was fierce but clean, only
