AERIAL ATTACK ON GERMANS
DECLARED DIVISION OF CAVALRY
Is ANNIHILA1ED.
Orderly Retreat Turned Into Disas.
trous Rout, According to
Paris Reports.
BY c. F. BERTELLI,


Paris, Oct. 15.-The most dashing
exploit of the French airmen since
the beginning of the war was the com
plete rout of q division of German
cavalry which they shelled from the
mir. The official commumque says the
aviators pursued the cavalrymen all
day, ceaselessly pouring bombs upon
them and inflicting heavy losses.
Additional details which have
reached here from the north show that
the Germans had crossed the frontier
and were advancing towards the
Hazed Rouck region when they were
met by stronger French force. The
preliminary skirmishes went in favo,
OF the French, and the Germans. see
Ing the road absolutely barred, began
an orderly retreat.
The French general, while haras
sing their rear, with his own cavalry.
ordered the air squadron to give
chase and convert the retreat into q
rout with their bombs.
The effect on the enemy was de,
vastatfng. The Frenchmen showered
deadly missiles upon the dense masa
of cavalry and as ugly gaps appeared
dragons and cuirassers became
strewn across the road in q horrible
welter of blood. !:
Panic spread among the Germans.
They galloped furiously toward the
frontier, vainly attempting to escape
the bombs and their compact division
was soon dispersed into squadrons,
dashing of across the country in diff.
ferent directions in order to battle
their aerial foe.
This had the effect Of reducing their
losses, although the aviators main.
tained the pursuit until nightfall, an.
initiating several squadrons.
Numerous horses were killed while
their riders miraculously escaped.
Many others were strewn about the
country side in gastly heaps, having
been instantly killed.
Some Of the wounded were kicked
to death by their horses as they strug-
gled on the roadside in agony.
The unexpected air attack absolu-
tely demoralized the Germans and the
stragglers captured the next day were
in pitiable state of terror.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1914

The voters Of Morrison county will
soon be called on to decide as who they
wish to represent them in the leglsla-
ture from this county. AS to whether
they wish to return the present repre-
sentative, Louis w. Vasaly, who by
his record, shows that he believes that
the people have right to vote on pub
lie matters, or L. D. Brown, who by
his record in the 1911 legislature, says
the people not only do not have
right to vote on matters Of public n
terest, but that they do not know
enough to, when he cast, his vote
against the Initiative and Referendum
bin, which amendment to the onsti-
tuition will be voted on at the coming
election.
Those who believe they have right
to their say in public matters, cannot
consistently vote for l.. u. Brown. -,
A comparison of the records OF
these two men in the legislature, is
interesting.

The building Of substantial bridges
in this county are signs of real pro-
gress. More bridges are being built
at the present time than at any other
time in the history Of the county. At
the last meeting Of the county board
contracts for four more were let. The
bridges are being built of steel and
concrete. When these are completed
it will allow much more money and at.
tention on road building, as the up
keeB of these bridges will be practi-
cally done away with. Morrison coun-
ty has, however, had a number of

force within a few miles of the city.
The inhabitants are fleeing as fast as
ships can be provided to carry them

Wounded Given Preference.
Hospitals were emptied and the
docks were lined with injured soldiers.
Hundreds were carried on litters,.
while the less severely injured hob
hled on canes and crutches, support
ed by Red Cross nurses, doctors, nuns
and priests. The wounded were given
preference on transports provided for
the beleaguered city, while 25,0O0 per-
sons were massed upon the docks and
terminals attempting to find places on
the refuge ships.
A German Taube flew over the bar
Dor and struck terror to those below,
many of whom had come here from
Antwerp and who feared the airships
might drop bombs on the docks and
the great glass shell which coveretd
the railway and steamer terminals.
The Belgians guarding the docks
opened fire on the airships and con-
tinued the fusillade for ten minutes.
This created still greater consterna-
ton among the thousands of women
and children, many of whom had sat
tor three days on the cement floor Of
the great terminal sheds, their nerves
ct the breaking point.
Transports in Danger.
Even the refugees. who managed to
find deck space on the crowded trans.
ports were not relieved of the terrible
strain under which they have been
laboring, for the watchful Taube flew
over the steamers, observing their
movements as they sailed out of the
harbor.
The aeroplane did not drop bombs,
as one had on previous days when
civil and military hospitals were SO
narrowly missed by exploding shells
that the Belgians charged the Ger.
mans were aiming at the hospitals.

Country Shipper Pays Bills.
The country shipper pays all the
bills incurred in the handling of his
grain. This is especially true of the
farmers elevator company which
handles the grain of it's own members.
The expenses can not be shifted to
others as they can in other busine IS
concerns. This being true the coun-
try shipper is surely entitled to as
much consideration in establishing a
grading system for his grain as is the
terminal elevator man and commits

which they operate, and the country
shipper, and especially the farmer
whom the farmers elevator company
represents, pays the bills. w.

Minnesota will probably be closed by
agents of the governinent Indian bu.
reau as the result OF the United
States supreme courts decision, Mon.
day, upholding the section of the In.
dian treaty Of 1856, prohibiting the
sale and introduction OF liquor.
The territory affected comprises a
little more than one-lfth of the states
total area.
The principal places affected are:
Detroit, Park Rapids, Walker, Cass
Lake, Bemidji, Grand Rapids, Aitkin,
Ada, Hibbing, Deerwood, Crosby
Chisholm and Brainerd.
Bemidji Saloons Still Open.
All the Bemidji saloons and others
in the district embraced in the 1865
treaty opened at the usual time this
morning, despite the supreme courts
decision. e. E. Mcdonald, Bemidii,
attorney for the liQpr interests, be.

of liquor in Duluth and most of st.

believed, under the decision, but it
