Germans Retrieve Austrian Losses.
London, Oct 19--Fulfillment of the
promise that pressure would be taken
off France and Belgium when the big
battle commenced in the East again
has been delayed. The Germans are
before Warsaw--in fact fighting has
taken place only eight miles from
that city.
While their advance to the Niemen
was failure, the forces Of Emperor
William apparently have retrieved
some defeats Of the Austrians in Ga
licia and advanced as far as Jarozlau
II miles northwest of Przemysl. The
German plan seems to be to have two
armies advance along the left bank
of the Vistula river while two other
armies swing around on the right banl
to take the defenders of Warsaw on
their flank.
This, according to Russian accounts,
suits the Russian general staff, who
are said purposely to have withdrawn
to the Vistula SO that they would
have the railways at their back while
the Austro-German forces would have
to advance great distances on roads
which at this time of the year are lit
tie more than quagmires.

Germans Hurled Back.
BY International News Service.


Paris, Oct 21.-British warships
who had opened a terrific lombard
ment of the allies entrenched posi-
ton between Newport on the Belgian
North Sea coast and Dixmude south
ward on the Ypres canal, struck ter
ror to the hearts of the Teutons by
their thanking and enfilading fire and
broke the force of the attack.
The Belgians, fighting on their own
soil to regain their country, dashed
forward and in a desperate counter at
tack hurled the Germans back.
First Aid From Ships.
This is the first time in the war in
the north that naval vessels of any of
the belligerents have effectively aided
the land forces in the operations. The
firing from the guns of war vessels
along the coast to the west Of Ostend
has been heard for two days, but I'M
til the official communication was is
sued from Bordeaux and transmitted
for publication to General Gallieni in
Paris the identity of the ships and
the purpose of their bombardment of
the coast remained hidden under the
cloak of official military secrecy.
Plan of Teutons.
The German attack in this section
of the allies front in northern Bel
GUM was directed in a frantic effort
to break through along the coast and
secure foothold on the French coast
line positions before the strength of
the allies should have become so
great as to bar their progress without
resort to frontal attack with it's con-
sequent and inevitable carnage.
Believed EeIgians DemoraIized.
In their advance which started from
the south of Ostend on Saturday, the
Germans had singled out the position
held by the Belgian forces as the
weakest point in the line because of
the reported decentralization the Bel
gians had suffered in their successive
defeats which ended in the fall Of
Antwerp. But King Albert's troops
were prepared. They had dug them
selves in and were supported by their
shattered, but still effective, artillery
After several hours of furious fight
ing, in which the Belgians maintained
doggedly their positions, hurting the
enemy back time after time with
heavy losses in each repulse, there
was heard the guns of the ships to
seaward-and the navy guns had the
range, for the first shots were effec-
tive and demoralizing 70 the German
attackers.
Monday the fire from the navy guns
became so severe and effective that
the Germans started to withdraw. No
sooner was this maneuver discovered
by the Belgian corps commander than
q charge was ordered and the coun-
ter attack soon turned into a rout
with the Germans in full retreat.
After Dunkirk and Calais.
Newport is 10 miles west of Ostend.
1t occupies a position on the coast
about midway between Ostend and
the Franco-Belgian border. Across the
border and along the seacoast to the
westward lie Dunkirk and Calais,
against which the Germans are at
tempting to advance in their effort to

GainfuI Work Blamed.

Madison.-That where women are
employed at gainful occupations,
though married, there the greatest
number of divorce petitions may be
found, is indicated in the report just
made by the secretary of the state
board of health, c. A. Harper, prepar-
ed for the Wisconsin bureau Of vital
statistics. During the year ending
Sept. 80, 1912, 1915 divorces were re-
ported in Wisconsin and 1891 in 1913.

1912 was 20,125, giving divorce rate
per 1000 of 500. With 21,052 marri-
ages reported in 1913 the divorce rate
