ALLIES SUFFERED
SERIOUS SETBACK
Cannot Be Classed as a Defeat, but
Germans Had All the Best of tt
Allies Take to Fortifications.

Rotterdam, Aug. 25.-The dearth of
news from the Anglo-tranco- German
fighting front was such today as to
suggest that both sides, exhausted by
the prolonged and desperate battle cul-
minating in the allies repulse and re.
treat, were doing little more tnan rest
ing temporarily on their arms.
Accounts were received of scattered
fighting up and down the line, but it
was on a small scale, the big engage.
'ment evidently having either paused or
ceased altogether.
A Breathing Spell.
That there would be much delay was
thought here to be most likely, how
ever Though news from German
sources did not Indicate much pertur-
baton at Berlin concerning Russian ac-
tivities, military experts felt sure the
kaiser would deem it necessary to crush
the Anglo French allies as speedily as
possible before the czar' s forces gained
too firm hold within his eastern
frontier.
How much progress the Germans had
already made was shown by reports of
their eayalry's presence only six miles
north of Lille and by official announce
ment Of German occupations of the
French towns of Luneyille, Almance
and Dieuloard.
1t was also certain that, having driv.
en- the last French soldier from Lor.
ralne, they were pressing the Gallic
troops hard in Alsace, where the French
prOfessed to be still holding out, how.
ever, at Mulhausen.
Germans Raid Borders.
Outside France s main line Of from
TIER Qualifications, so far as could be
learned, there were no allied troops
which meant that the narrow fringe Of
French territory between the fortifica
tons themselves and the border wa!
open to German raiding and was, il
taet, being raided at many points,
While it was not considered that tn,
alhes had suffered anything in the ma
ture of an overwhelming defeat, mill
tary men, nevertheless, agreed that the,
mad suffered a serious setback, and, in
stead OF having the Germans on the de
) 1enslve, would henceforward, at leas

BEATEN in THE FIRST
MIGHTY BATTLE OF WAR
Allies Are Far From Whipped
as They Are Now Inside
the FortificatiOns

Beaten in the first mighty battle Of
the European war, the Franco-British
allies we're on the defense today.
Taking the offensive, fhey had tried
to drive Siie Germans back In Belgium.
Instead, they were themselves driven
back within the French frontier forti-
fications.
The Germans claim 1t as a great
victory.
The allies mininized Its importance,
saying their retirement was merely
strategic .
1t was admitted, however, that it
ended hopes Of speedy termination Of
the wsr.
The British were arranging 70 rush
all possible achievements to the
French.
British war minister Lord Kitchener
spoke suggestively Of what must bs
done If the struggle was stall raging at
the end of three years.
Though there was much fighting up
and down the line, there was a iuli In
the big general engagement.
: While total figures were unavailable.
the extent Of the losses thus far was
limited at by an estimate that the
Belgians comparatively small suffer
srs, had had $4,000 killed and $4,000
wounded.
Namur was In the Germans hands.
Having beaten off repeated attacks
the French remained in Mulhausen in
Alsace.
! Japan having declared war against
Austria ally, Germany, Austria declared
war against Japan.
Russia pressed It's advantage into
northeastern Germany, claiming defeats
Of all German troops who opposed the
invasion.
Germans said the territory invaded
was unimportant and that the Russians
could not pass the vistula river fotifi-
cations.
In Austria, the Russians we're occus
pying the lower Carpathian mountain
passes and, as In Germany, professed to
be beating down all resistance.

gary.
Italy continued Its wariike prepara-
tions on the Austrian frontier.
Reports persisted that Emperor
Francis Joseph was critically Ill, a VIC
tim of the strain Of the war.
The British and Servians protested
against alleged atrocities respectively
by German and Austrian troops against
I civilization.
The German warships Gneisenau and

The Hague, Aug. 25.-Renewed fight
ing in the vicinity of Meubeuge, in
French territory south of Mons, Bel
gium, was reported here this afternoon.
This romon was uneonfirmed. If true
it evidently meant that the Germans,
pushing westward after the allies, were
again attempting to open tneir way into
France.
The Germans were said also to have
resumed the offensive in northern Bel
gium and reports were current of an
engagement between them and French,
British and Belgians from Antwerp near
Malines.
This story, too, was unverified.f
Despite these reported encounters,
there seemed to be lull in the big gen.
eral battle, either while the combat
ants took little rest or until .he Ger
mans came up with the positions to
which the allies retreated following the
desperate engagements centering about

In the balance for days.
This is one Of the tragedies of

ance can compass.
The deceased has been one of

as Mrs. Ocea Kobel to large

marriage to VIM. Davenport.
Many friends are doing all in
their power to aid the family in
their bereavement. Funeral ar
rangements are not yet made as

Thresher Explodes

The big Threshing Machine
owned by a syndicate Of Roy bus
mess men was destroyed Tues
day by dust explosion while at
work for Wallace Chadderdon,
near Mills. They were threshing
wheat with smut in it and it is
believed a spark from stone, or
match or some such cause ignit-
ed the dust inside the machine.
The explosion was of sufficient
violence to blow the top off the
machine and Homer Holmes who
was acting as separator man and
standing on top was thrown vio-
lently to the ground and some
what scorched but not seriously
hurt. The wreck of the ma
chine took fire and was totally
destroyed together with the re-
mains of the grain stack and the
straw stack,
The first report was that the
engine had exploded and there
was grief and fear at the Ander-
son shop at the contemplation of
what that implied and relief at
the corrected report that no one
was hurt.
The accident seems to have
been one of those unusual but
unavoidable occurrences. 1t is
unfortunate that it should have
occurred so early in the season
as this machine had over 10000
bushels of wheat to thresh yet
and the other machines have had
an equally successfulrun and as
much work ahead.
The engine was driven in to
town Wednesday and the old
Anderson machine was brought
in to the Variety Machine shop
and is being rebuilt with a view
to getting out as soon as possible
and helping to finish the thresh-
ing. The Company machine was
purchased as a public benefac-
ton and barely paid for itself
when this accident caused it's
destruction.
