Tango Defended
By an Immortal

A RGENTINE'S most celebrated ex-
N port, the tango, which has been
\ frowned upon by so many emil
nent men, has also found friends in
high places. One of these is Jean RICHIE
pin, one Of the forty "Immortals' of the
Academic Francaise and famous the
world over as poet, novelist, and drama
list.
Richepin, in an. address before the
five academies of the institute. eulo-
gized the tango in no mild terms and
, traced its origin to remotest antiquity
He declared that 1t is the highest form
of expression Of that rhythmic move
ment which all the world calls the
dance.
Even as in his literary work, NJ
Richepin has disregarded all the con-
ventions, religious. moral, social and
literary, and has written with a bold
ness that has at times shocked even
Paris, so in defending the tango he
said:
THE graceful, stately dances of long
ago, which the moralists would like to
see today, all had as lowly an origin as
the tango. All had rustic birth.
"All are the ancient peasants jigs
invented by country pumpkins. even
the suave minuet, which was first a
country jig in Poitou, and including
the charming gavotte, which origfna ly
rhymed with the click of heavy wooden
shoes worn by the peasants of Brit
tany."

Amsterdam, via London, Sept. 3d.
The Germans have begun their attack
on the first line of defense of Ant
werp, according to dispatches receiv-
ed by the Amsterdam papers.
Moll, which is an important rail-
way junction near the Dutch border,
was occupied by the Germans Sun
day and Tuesday the Germans, who
again occupied Malines, began a bom-
bardment of Lierre, directly in front
of Antwerp.
They also continued their lombard
ment of Forts Waehel and St. Catha-
rine. It is believed heavy Austrian
artillery is being used.
Lierre, according to a message to
the Handelsblad, has been under shell
fire. The people at first hid in the
cellars, but subsequently fed to Ant
werp, being Joined by fugitives from
the surrounding villages.
It is reported that many houses
have been destroyed and some of the
inhabitants killed and wounded. One
shell fell on a hospital, killing nine
persons.

gary, but in strength toward Cracow,
which they may reach before the
week is out, unless the Austrian field
army succeeds in checking the ad-
vance. Their arrival at Cracow would
be the signal for a battle along the
Russian German frontier.
The Germans are in force at Cra-
cow, where the Austrians would form
their extreme right, and they have
reinforced their front, extending north
of that fortress through Kalisz, Rus
sian Poland, to Thorn, in the province
of West Prussia.
Further north they have crossed
from East Prussia and have got as
far as the River Niemen, where they
are reported to have suffered a re-
verse. The two armies, however, are
in close touch right across the coun-
try, so that battle along this extend
ed front cannot long be delayed.
Effort to Invade Germany.
The Russian emperor's immense
armies will oppose the Germans at
every point and will try to invade
Germany in more than one district.
Of the operations around Sarajevo
nothing has been heard, but the
Servians and Montenegrins must be
ready soon for grand assault on that
city, which, beyond all others, the
Servians would like to occupy
The Austrians also are being at
tackled at Cattaro, where, in laddition
to land operations by the Montene-
grins, the French and English fleets
are making an effort to reduce the
forts. :.
There is more talk of Italy, Rou-
mania and Turkey becoming involved
in the war, but for the moment Italy
is being held back by the governemnt
Turkey, it is believed, would like to
take hand in the hope Of recovering
some of the territory she lost in the
Balkan wars, but the moment she
does Greece would be in arms against
her, which would also be the signal
for Roumania to come in.

Offers No Objection to
Publication.

London, Sept. 30.-A Paris dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph company
says:
1T is said here that the German
right has been broken entirely and is
being pursued by the allies. All the
automobiles in Northern France have
BEEN requisitioned for the purpose of
pursuit"
"Armored motor cars with mitrail-
'leuses also are being used to pursue
the retreating enemy.
''The official communication issued
at p. m. demonstrates Enthusiastically
that the Germans have been surround
ed in the Somme department, the
French front extending further east.
1T is stated officially that Peronne
has been recaptured."
The foregoing message has been re.
ferred to the British official press
bureau, which, while not objecting to
its publication, takes no responsible
ity for it's correctness.
Situation Favors Allies.
The announcement issued by both
French and British officials declared
that there had been no change in the
situation, which they previously had
reported as favoring the allied army
to some extent
The Germans had strengthened
their right at the expense of the rest
of their line and many more men to
assist them were to be sent from
Germany or Belgium. The allies,
as is known to all the world, are ex-
pecting reinforcements of we'll train
ed troops from India, but when they
are due has not been disclosed. They
may have arrived in time to turn the
balance in favor of their side.

pays high tribute to the work of the
airmen, who since the outbreak of the
war have succeeded in keeping the
