What War MOUeS Mean
By J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE allies
tie line toward the main German
defenses in northern France and
Belgium. The towns now being
mentioned in the official reports as
the present centers of the conflict
are slightly to the east Of q per-
pendicular passing through Arras.
Arras is the natural pivot, be-
cause of railway and highway con-
nections, for an eastward swing by
the allies against the German north
ern communications. over a fort
night ago, 1t marked the limit Of
the French northern climb toward
Belgium. The efforts of the allies to
turn to the east from Arras have
given the fundamental basis to their
northern strategy.
The necessity for assisting the es-
cape of the Anglo-Belgian force
from Belgium caused a diversion,
and the counter-offensive of the
Germans against Dunkirk and other
coast towns likewise frustrated an
immediate development Of the move
ment from Arras.
The allied forces, owing to these
considerations, had to swing to the
west, away from the German lines.
In doing this they succeeded in re-
tanning their perpendicular as far
north as Arras. At Arras their
front bent backward. that Is, to
the west, toward the coast. to block
the German COunter-offensive, and
~ hn To
sistance to the Anglo Belgian army.
Both these maneuvers succeeded.
Won Roehm's army, which had at
tempted to extend itself to Dun
kirk and Calais from the east. sud
denly found itself in danger Of being
thanked at St. Omer, twenty miles
from its coastal objective.
The Washington times., 1914-10-21

Thereupon a retreat was neces-
sary. and the Germans were driven
back thirty miles. This relieved the
pressure on the Anglo Belgians and
insured their union with the French
army. The thirty-mile retirement Of
the Germans Strengthened the
French line once more. causing it
to renew its perpendicular pt Arras.
Since then the French have been re-
Stunning their original objective, try
ing to bend their front eastward
from Arras
The Germans have thrown out an
advance entrenched force about ten
miles east Of the Arras perpendicu-
lar. This force is In the vicinity of
Lille, and the French have begun
swinging toward it. They have got
as far as Armentieres, eight miles
northwest Of Lille and, apparently,
Fournes. the same distance south
west
These two towns are five miles
east Of Arras. and mark the eX-
IRENE advance of the French north
ern offensive. The occupation Of
Lille is now the immediate French
objective. If Lille is taken, the
Germans will have to fall back toward
their principal northern defenses for
a struggle which may have a de-
cisive bearing on their future oc-
cupation of French territory.

That British submarines would be
operating so far from their base seems
improbable. The Island Of Rngen is In

panied by British fleet Of considerable

ASK NEW SITE FOR
SAND SPRINGS BRIDGE

A petition is being circulated ask
ing the county commissioners TO
change the location of the proposed
Sand Springs bridge, notice of ap-
preparation for which has been made.
1t is the intent of the commissioners
TO advertise for bids at the Febru-
airy meeting of the board.
The petitioners are asking that
the location of the bridge be extend
ed to the east a quarter of mile.
The site selected is about 80 feet
east of the Sand Springs pumping
station. The petitioners say that
the nearness to the station makes
1t impossible for anyone who would
cross the bridge to see the roads
either east or west and that 1t Is
therefore dangerous to place a
bridge at this point, as people In
carriages or automobiles would be
unable to see the trains approach
ing on any of the three tracks that
run in front OF the pumping sta
ton.
Placing the bridge quarter OF q
mile to the east would, the petit

Agricultural Department Says Duck

Washington, Jan. so.-Hunter

The agricultural department gave
an Interpretation today OF the new
federal game law as affecting tbs
west. 1t prohibits any killing OF
migratory birds or water fowl in
the spring, absolutely, not only In
Missouri and Kansas. but through.
out the entire country.
THE hunting season for ducks
and other migratory birds and wa
ter fowl in Kansas is from Septem-
Der ! to December 10: in Missouri,
from September Is to January l."
said DR.. T. S. Palmer today, mo
hunting outside OF these months Is
permissible under the federal law.
no matter what the state or local
game laws or rules may be. Viola
tions of this law are subject to a
fine OF 500. or the judge may in
flict a Jail sentence.
81 have had more complaints from
Kansas than any other state against
the law, but we can't help that. 1t
will be enforced rigidly, not only in
Kansas and Missouri, but every
where. The migratory water fowl
were rapidly disappearing from the
country and this measure was need
ed to protect them. In a few years
they may be plentiful again. when
a change in the law might be pos
sible. but not before.
"Seven federal game wardens have
been appointed in Missouri already,
he said. kansas game wardens will
be appointed shortly and the law
rigidly enforced. The game wardens
are instructed to bring offenders
before the federal judges. Already
a hundred fines have been imposed

WIN FROM SOLOMON, 40 TO 20
Abilene Highs Took Basketball Con-
test ON Solomon Court

outplaying Solomon throughout a
hard-fought game, the Abilene high
school boys won in basketball last
night at Solomon, 40 to rs. The
Garfield eighth grade lost to the
Solomon high schools second team,
as to 20.
The Abilene team returned last
night from a two days trip to Min
neapolis and Solomon. They lost
the first game to Minneapolis SO to
go. The defeat by Minneapolis was
due mostly to the slippery floor. In
the first half the Abilene boys were
unable to stand up but in the sec
ond half the local team had caught
on to few of the tricks OF a slip
perry floor and as result they play
ed even with the Minnies.
The boys received the best treat
ment. The team was met at the
train by the entire student body of
the Minneapolis school. At the game
the crowd cheered as much for the
Abilene team as for their own squad.
Ross. H. Little, F. Little, Stanley,
Brewer, Walters, Godfrey and Col
Inns made the trip to Minneapolis.
At Solomon last night the game
was hard fought from start to fin
lsh with Abilene in the lead through
out. Solomon is at the bottom in
the standing of the league, having
been defeated eight times.

team was defeated by the second

REPUBLICANS DID
THINGS AT TOPEKA MEET


That the Kansas Day meeting and

sentiment of Abilene people who at

women at the banquet last night. -
Among those who attended the
Kansas Day meetings were: N. Cole,
J. E. Brewer, DR.. T. R. Conklin,
H. w. Jacobs, G. M. Harger.
Regarding the boom friends OF
J.. e. Brewer have started for his
candidacy for lieutenant governor,
the Topeka State Journal says:
Dickinson county Republicans,
In a meeting last Saturday, demand
ed a state convention and the writ
ing of a platform. We should not
dodge the matter and should write
a real PLATFORM, said J. e. Brewer
of Abilene. Brewer has been men
toned as a probable candidate for
governor, but will make
no announcement at this time.
