GERMANS JOIN A USTRIANS
ALONG VISTULA TO PRESS
CAMPAIGN ON RUSSIANS

BERLIN. Oct. S.-(By wireless via
Sayville, y. Y.)-OfhciaI announce
ment of a junction of Austrian and
German forces along the Vistula in
the campaign against Russia was
made here today. The statement fol-
lows:
"a great part of Gen. Won linden
burg's army has effected a junction
with the Austrians before Ivangorod
on the Vistula, where the Russians
are concentrating on the right bank.
Near Suwalki only a small part of
Gen. Won Hindenburg' army has been
left, but this has succeeded in pre-
venting a Russian advance toward
East Prussia. despite the numerical
superiority of the Russians"
CThis is a denial Of the Russian
statement that reinfOrcements have
been received by the Germans that
have been operating around Suwalki.
1t bears out the theory, however, that
the attacks on the sSuwalki district
was only covering movement for the
concentration Of great masses of Ger
man troops along the Vistula.)

nous in expressing the belief that

NACO, Ariz.. oct. S.-After making
two unsuccessful attacks on the Car
ranzaista forces late last night Gen.
YaQus Indians were
driven back to their positions at Mo-

the Villa artillery threw several shots
into Naco. Sonora, demolishing a
building in the center of the city The
Villa artillery is being directed by
Capt. Mahlow. who has seen service
in the German army. 1t seems TO be
superior 10 that OF the Carranza forces
but for some reason is used very little.
This may be due TO lack of ammuni-
ton.
During the night lighting all the
American troops in this neighborhood
were stationed on the border. but only
a few stray bullets crossed the Amer
lean line.

ANTWERP REFUSES
LAST DEMAND AND
CITY IS SHELLED
General BOmbardment by Ger

Command for Surrender is
Rejected by the Defenders.

ANTWERP, Oct. S.-General bonn
bardment of the city of Antwerp was
begun by the Germans at 3 o'clock
this morning after a final demand for
its surrender had been rejected. Late
yesterday the Germans succeeded in
crossing the river Nethe after des-
perate fighting and then there was
lull of sevral hours while a messenger
under a white flag came into the city
with a formal demand from the Ger
man command that the city yield A
reply as formal was transmitted. This
stated that surrender was not to be
considered at this time. ThereupOn
the Germans brought their artillery
across the Nethe and as soon as this
was in position the bombardment was
opened. A terrific rain Of shot and
shell is now raining upon the inner
ring of Notifications, being directed
principally upon forts No. 3, and ..
Confirms Fall Of Forts.
(While the dispatch does not admit
the fall of the outer forts that the
Germans claim to have captured, the
news that the Germans have crossed
the Nethe shows that the German
claims are substantially correct as
forts Waelhem, Wavre-St. Catherine

Broechem are on the Nethe or close

1t was learned today that on Mon

WOULD HAVE PASTORS
or THE COUNTY ORGANIZE

why not a Dickinson County Min
isterial association? This sugges-
ton may not appeal to pastors IN
the larger towns because they have
the advantage Of INSTRUMENTATION
al associations. These pastors u.s.
ually meet every month and discuss
various subjects Of local or general
interest, but the isolated country
pastors and even those in smaller
towns miss this friendship with all
its advantages.
Such an association emphasizes
the essential oneness Of the church
of Jesus Christ. There are differ7
ences OF opinion that make II lot
the time being expedient for Chris
tian people to have their separate
organizations but the Christian
church is essentially one church al
ter all, and these INSTRUMENTATION
al gatherings and conferences help
to keep before the church and the
world this great truth. Then there
are always questions Of general IN
terest that such body should nan
die. In 1900 the county had a pop
ulation of 21,816 and a total COM
municant membership in all the
religious bodies of 7649, showing al
glance that only about one-third
of the people of the county are
definitely associated in church WORK
To attempt to hold frequent meet
iugs of such a body would be to IN
vite failure from the start, Dut
there would seem to be no good rea-
son why the pastors Of the county
could not get together at least once
or twice a year or even perhaps eV-
cry quarter.
This suggestion comes from one
Of the pastors of the smaller towns
who would like to see further dis-
cussion of the proposition. and II
sufficient interest develops the pas
tors Of Abilene might call a meet
ing to begin the organization.
