ALLIES ADVANCE. 81 MILES
Germans Are Falling Back--Britlsh
Loss 10 Officially Placed at $4,000.
Armies Reinforced.

London.-While the latest official
statements give few details of the
great battle being waged in France, In
which 100000 men are engaged, it
seems apparent that the German forces
are still falling back, from the an
nouncement that the allies have gained
about 81 miles of territory In their
advance.
Both British and French troops
have crossed the River Marne, the
British capturing men and guns. The
action of greatest severity is being
fought between Mailly and Vitry-le-
Francois.
In an engagement between British
and Germans in Nyassaland, British
Central Africa, the Germans, according
to the British official press bureau,
were driven back to the River Songwe,
which Is part of the frontier between
the British and German protectorates
Prince Joachim Albrecht OF Prussia,
son of the late Prince Frederick Al
brecht, regent of Brunswick and Sec
ond cousin OF the German emperor, has
been wounded in battle.
Both the German and allied armies
in France are being reinforced and the
battle in France is likely to last some
time.
Reports concerning the progress of
the Russian and Austrian arms are
meager, but Petrograd dispatch says
1t is believed the German crown prince
has been appointed chief commander
of the forces which are to oppose the
Russian advance.
Additional British casualties have
been made public, covering the period
up to Sept. Z, and bringing the total
for the campaign close to 10000 killed,
wounded and missing.

Finally at the suggestion of friend

Postum, and against my expectations I
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or months have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking. weakening

AUsTRlANS LEAVE CRACOW
Strongest Austrian Post In GaIIcIa 10
Reported to Have Given Way Be-
fore Russian Attack.

Petrograd.-C the strongest
Austrian post in Galicia and one which
INSTRUCTED the advance of the huge
Russian center army upon Breslau, its
next objective, Is reported as being
evacuated by the Austrians before a
furious attack of Russian cavalry and
infantry under cover of the destruct-
i've fire of the heavy siege guns. The
forts to the east and north of the city
were shelled necessarily until finally
the Austrian guns were silenced.
Cracow is the capital Of Austrian Po-
land, and lies on broad plain on the
left bank of the vistu'a. 1t Is only 80
miles from the German border, and
between 1t and Breslau little fortified
resistance Is offered.
With Przemyl and Jaroslav invested
by the Russians and the way for the
advance toward Breslau practically
cleared, the investment of the latter
city, which is only 100 miles from Ber-
lin, Is imminent.

lions that she had abrogated the series
of conventions, treaties and privileges
originating as early as the eleventh
century, whereby foreigners in the
Ottoman empire have been exempt

extra-territorial rights, through which
they have been tried by their own

This practice, abolished by Japan

FIERCE ATTACK IN CENTER
London Official Statement Says One
German Army Has Been
Driven Back.

London.-The British official press
bureau issued the following announce
ment:
"The general position continues sat-
isfactory. The allies are gaining
ground on their left all along the line
of the Ourcq and Petit Norm rivers.
The British have driven the enemy
back ten miles.
Fighting has been in progress far
Their to the right along the line, which
includes Montmirail and Sompuis,
neither side gaining advantage.
Farther to the right again, from
Vitry-le-Francois to Sermatze-Les-
Bains, the enemy has been pressed
back In the direction of Rheims.
"At Luneville an attempt by the
Germans to advance has been re-
pulsed.
Pressure against the enemy con-
tinues all along the allied fronts.
"The fifth French army has ad-
vanced with equal success, and reports
many captured.
"The sixth French army on the
Ourcq has been heavily engaged, but
here also the enemy has been driven
back.

MAUBEUGE FORTS TAKEN
Germans Claim to Have Taken 10000
Prisoners and 400 Guns at French
Fortress.

London. - Latest official reports
from the French government indicate
that the offensive tactics undertaken
In the last day or two by the allied
armies have forced the Germans back
at various points In the battle line,
which extends from few miles east
of Paris to Verdun, distance of about
200 miles.
Bordeaux reports officially that the
British army has crossed the River
Marine, and that the Germans have
fallen back 25 miles. Efforts of the
Germans to break the French lines on
the Ourcq river are officially reported
to have failed.
Seemingly the Germans are short of
ammunition at the front and are hav-
ing difficulties in provisioning. and
the French war department officially
announces that ION the whole the Ger,
mans appear to be beginning move
ment of retreat"
The battlefield in France is that over
which Napoleon fought in 1914, with
entranched camps on both wings and
center. Paris covers the left wing,
Chalons the center and Verdun the
right, while mobile columns of troops
are ready to join In the fighting wher-
ever the line is threatened.
Vitry-le-Francois and Montmirail
seem to be the points OF the chief en-
gagements, and there the carnage has
been the heaviest. The allies aim at
preventing the German turning move
ment, with mass OF troops composed
of many army corps.
King George has addressed a mes
sage to the British dominions and COL
onies, in which he protests that war
was not of Great Britain's seeking,
and expresses his warmest thanks for
the assistance rendered by them.
Maubeuge, French fortress, has
fallen into the hands of the Germans,
and according to the report the Ger
mans took 10000 prisoners and 400
guns.

PELLAGRA CASES FOUND.
County Officer Discovers AZ Cases In
One Community.


One Community.
notwithstanding a sanitary
survey Of portion of the Tenth civil
district, DR.. B. G. Tucker made the
alarming announcement that in an in
vestigation of 25S families In the I'm
ion Hill section of the district AZ ac-
tual cases and eight suspicious cases
of pellagra had been discovered. The
survey has been going on for some
time.
The number of cases mentioned are
embraced In total population Of l.
157, and this gives an infection Of near
ly per cent, and taking in the sus-
picious cases the percentage of infec-
tion is still higher. AS some of the
positive cases are in the last stages
of the dreaded disease, 1t is quite EVIL
dent that pellagra has existed in that
hill country for some time, verifying
the suspicion OF the county health Of
ficer.
DR.. Tucker thinks that there is 9TH
er infection in the county, but is es-
topped from further investigation
where even the survey has been under
way for lack of funds. 1t was found
that in the homes where the disease
existed the food was poor and badly
prepared. An additional discovery
was that wherever one case existed
there were other Immediately In that
locality, in no cases there being isolat-
ed patients. In some instances whole
families were found to be infected.
The survey of DR.. Tucker includes
the inspection of the water and food
supply, the sanitary condition OF the
premises and was even carried to the
sanitation of the individual persons in
the territory gone over.
OF the forty-two infected cases, sew.
enteen are males and twenty-five fe-
males. All are white, but the major
portion of the section investigated Is
comprised Of white people.
AS to the water supply, there were
ten cisterns, 218 wells and 179 springs.
In the infected district there were 292
closets, but in So cases there were no
such conveniences. In personal n.y.
giene 14S cases were reported good,
1T fair and So poor.

ALLIES ASSUME OFFENSIVE
Allies Greatly Strengthened by Rest
and INSTRUMENTATION Go
North-Germans Retreat.

London.-The great and all conquer
ing imperial German army of last
week is sorely beset retiring army now.
Tactics have changed, defenders be.
come offenders. Allied retreats have
been turned into an allied advance. At
this distance few bold facts stand
out clearly enough to permit COM
plete reconstruction of the line of
battle.
What has happened appears to be
that the allies, greatly strengthened
by rest and reinforcements, have
been watchfully waiting, while the
great German arm, like some unwieldy
giant, has Unanswered away around
to the east of Paris, having apparent
ly as an objective the complete per-
manent separation Of the army of the
east from the army of the. north, so
they could destroy each piecemeal. But
while that has been In progress, the
allies have been preparing for light
ming change with tremendous energy.
Time and distance appear to have been
annihilated.
Official reports indicate successful
movements, at least for the time be-
ing, by the allied armies against the
Germans. London reports that the
British have pushed the opposing
forces back ten miles and that the al
lies are gaining ground on the line of
the Ourcq and Petit NORM rivers.
Wounded soldiers who have reached
Paris tell of the severity of the fight
ing in the champagne country, and re-
port heavy losses.
With hundreds of thousands of men
engaged on both sides, the battle now
In full swing to the east of Paris prom
ises to be the most important of the
campaign UP to the present.
In reply to request by the Ger
mans for an armistice of "a hours to
bury the dead and care for the wound
ed, the French authorities are report
ed to have sent this message:
I'VE grant that time to get opt of
France"
The Russian troops still are engaged
In fierce combats with the Austrians
In the Dawa district, Russian Poland.
Fighting is almost continuous and the

was partially covered by insurance.
Both buildings were two stories high
and were the most up-to-date business

tered the negro camp, he was accosted
by one Of the troopers, who asked him
about the arrest of the negro officer.
