Bordeaux, Sept: 2s:-According to dispatches from the front
the Prusslan guard has been cut to pieces during the fighting of tn
last three days; The strength of some companies has been reduced
from 200 to 100 men. Virtually all the original officers of the guare
have been killed or wounded and two battalions have been ami
hlated.
The hour for the battle which will determine whether the Rus
SLAMS will make their proposed invasion of Germany, with Berlin a
n maj ma objective, appears to be drawing near.
Official and unofficial advces indicate a struggle in Russian
Poland rivaing in desperation, and possibly in the numbers engaged

vaders from east Prussia and now seeking to halt the westward

ton OF meeting the combined Austrian and German forces concen
tratlng at Cracow on the Gahcian frontier in a battle that, if sue
cessful, viii complete their campaign in Galicia.
me Germans are reported in strong force on the line from
hallsz to CracoW, where they are said to be well entrenched. There
is every reason to believe that the real test of the Russian aggressive
strength viii not be long delayed.
Again today the report that the Russians have crossed the Car
pathian range and entered Hungary, capturing UzsoB, is repeated
Uzsok lies III a line extending from Lemberg, the capital of GaEcia

ABOLISHED AT RROOkINGS

Brookings, S. D., Sept. 30.-The h4.-

past in the South Dakota state college.
The sophomore class has unanimous
ly declared against hazing the newcom-

for South Dakota colleges. Hereafter
freshmen at this institution may look
upon those one year their seniors as
friendly ce-operators. and persons to be
associated with. rather than to be
avoided at all times.
This action Of the sophomores ONE
partly as the result of a conference
with President Perisho n Dean
Brown. both of whom were very de-
sfrious for it to come about, and partly
on account of a growing feeling among
state college students hat a closer
harmony must prevail among the under
classmen if the student body is to ac-
complish ANYTHING as a unit.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NOW
PINE FOR UNITED STATES

Yankton. S. D., Sept. 3o.-During the
past few years thousands of former
South Dakotans have become enrolled
as British subjects in order to secure
homestead privileges in Canada. Ac-
cording to word received here, some Of
these are likely to be called upon to
fight for the British crown, a job
which they do not relish. and which
they did not anticipate when they re-
nounced allegiance to the United
States. Most of them, in fact, expect
to resume their United States citizen
ship after perfecting their land titles.
A young Swede in this county, whose
brother took a homestead in Canada
three years ago, has been asked to go
to Canada and look after his brothers
stock. as the latter plainly intimates
his intention Of getting out of the
country to dodge military service. He
says he does not care anything about
