REGIMENT LOST
 IN BRAVE FIGHT

London. Oct. 2S.-The Daily News today describes the terrible expert ences Of one Belgian regiment during the battle on the coast. When this through some error it was given two days drilf and inspection instead of rest and then went into action again in the network of trenches on the banks of the Yser. The newspaper's correspondent quotes soldier of the regiment as follows:
 i've entered one of the trenches and for six hours I was firing thigh deep in water. The Germans got into our cross trenches and fired down our lines We had to run back. I was too sleepy to run. must have fallen asleep and then we must have been ordered to advance. was too tired to get up but some one kicked me arldl I got up, assisted by the man in front of me.

They did not wait, but scrambled over the bank across the river. We crouehed in a big trench in muddy water. It was dark and we. thought we heard Germans whisper ing on the river side of our bank only six feet away from us. The speakers were 300 Germans who had stayed on our side fearing to cross the river un- der our fire.

Some of the Germans climbed over and we fired at their heads, hands and arms as they be- came visible. A few made holes through the Iooser earth through which we fired on each other. Then the French got around the end and theer was heavy firing. We heard a few of the enemy slipping down to the river edge and the splashing of water. Then we scrambled over the bank and won. Only a hundred of our regiment now remain

London, Oct. 2S.-The battle which all the world is watching still sways back and forth in the little district Of West Flanders when the allied forces are struggling to check the German advance to Calais At the same time other events reported from widely separated points claim attention.
 First comes the new rebellion in South Africa, where the Boer leaders, Christian De Wet and General Beyers, former co1nmandant of the military forces of the Union of South Africa, have taken the field against the Un- ion government on the heels of the crushing of the rebellfous movenen under Col. Maeitz. General De Wet was the famous antagonist of Loro Kitchener during the Boer war and the uprising he is now leading is treat ed by the British press as far more serious than the Mezitz outbreak
 An event perhaps second in poten- tia1 importance is the report that the Germans have invaded Angola, the Portuguese colony of West Africa Whether this is true or not the des- patch comes almost coincidenta1 with the announcement that Manuel, for mer King of Portugal, has offered his services to King George and is willing to take the field against Germany. with the army of the Portuguese republic. <AccOEO1nS 10 reports nAanuS1 was re- gently in Portugal.
 Thirdly, the unrest in Albania seems to be growing. Not only have Italy and Greece announced their intention of protecting their interests in this terrdtory by force of arms. but the Turks are said to be active in cam paign to send troops and proclaim AL bania a part of the Ottoman empire. Aside from these political outcrop- pings of the great war, England re- ceived a shock in the news that a steamer, the Manchester Co1nmerce had been sunk. off the coast of Ireland by a German mine. Up to the pres- ent time all such disasters have been confined to the eastern coast. The region where the vessel was struck is on the direct route of the great Atlantic liners from Liverpool and of the Clyde line steamers from New York and Canadian ports. The infer

SOUTH AFRICA UPRISINGS
 SHARE INTEREST WITH
 BATTLE NEAR FLANDERS

ence is that the Germans, by penetrat- ing this area, hoped to reach the trans ports bearing Canadian troops to the British Isles
 Of the battle on the Yser, London has heard little new this morning. The German rush to reach the French coast would appear for the time be- ing to be held in check but the hercest fighting continues with the Germans delivering harder blows on the line between Dixmude and Ypres following their failure to make progress between d'dxr1allde and the coast. British naval guns, it is said have resumed their bonbartlnnent along the coast and colossal German losses are report ed. The Be1gians, London newspapers admit, have suffered terribly but of the losses of the French and English no mention is made.
 While the Germans are making their supreme effort in Flanders, the allies have been quick to press the advant- ages offered at other points on the line by the removal of German troops to the German right wing.
 This probably accounts for the pro- gress claimed by the allies near Sois- sons at Berry-Au-Back in the center and to the east of Nancy, where the Germans, according to the Freafch of dcial announcennent have been driven across the frontier. From all these PO4NlSs IL IS u11ueFSLOOd, the Germans took men and flung them into Belgium The Crown Prince of Bavaria is now said to be in command of the Ger man forces on the Ypres and it is re- pofted that he has been wounded.
 The weather promises soon to play an important role in the campaign in the eastern arena. of the war; The rigorous Russian winter is said al- ready to have set in between Moscow and Warsaw and snow covers the ground near Minsk. The Russians aver that they are following up re- lentlessly and successfully the rep4Tlse of the Germans from Warsaw Their cavalry is pushing rapidly westward from Lodz which has been occupied by them and threatening the German lines of communication The Ger mans, it is further contended, are having difficulty in maintaining their prepared defense lines around Ra- dom, to the south of Warsaw.

BIG WHEAT CROP
 SAFEn GARNERED
(Correspondence of AssoeIated Pressl

(Correspondence of Associated Press)
 Paris, Oct 28.-The wheat crop, which at the beginning of the war gave the authorities anxiety. has been safely garnered. The agricultural de- partment estimates Che yield at 60 to 80 million metric hundred weight, which is more than 10 per cent below the yield of 1913. France consumes 80 million hundred weight and, since 10 million hundred weight is. required for seeding, the shortage will be from 1 0 to 30 million hundred weight. With the duty on cereals suspended this shortage will be easily made up.
 The beet root crop, which is very important in the north of F'rance,sf nishing the raw materiaI Tor a great many sugar refinferies, has suffered from the German occupation. The refineries may be unable to work for some time. In consequence there has been an advance, of three cents per pound in the price of sugar and the public has been warned that a fur tfer advance is possible.
 Next to the beet crop, the most irr.- portant product in the region of the military operations is champagne All porarily in the hands of the Germans and the heavy fighting of the battle of the Marne extended over the en- tire length of the win growing coun- try. The damage to the crop seems to be less than expected. Afound Ess-- pernay in particular, the vines seem to have been Intentionally spared by the Germans as well as the French, but in other regions~th the terrible artiI- 1ery fire that ragged for days worked great havoc among the vineyards. Some reports indicate that around Rheims the crop is entirely lost, while further south it has suffered compar- atiVeIV little.

Farmer Want Ads. one Cent Word
The Detroit times., 1914-09-29

Detroters who were residents of the city twenty
years ago will remember how the Baumgartner store
started in modest quarters the southeast cor
ner Of the Chamber Of Commerce building
Unless person had extra good eyesght, it was a
difficult matter find Baumgartner's at that early
period.
Invariably would bring up several times in
other part Of the building before he had finally reached
the little store.
Now, however, the thing would to be quite the
reverse.
/. You find yourself several times in Baumgartners
before you get into the big Chamber Of Commerce
building. ttf@
And that isn't ALL the entire first floor space has been
found inadequate by the institution whose history reads
like business romance and longer refer to the
Baumgartner STORE.
Now it is the Baumgartner STORES.
Which STORES we take for the subject Of our
mon for this fashion number
There cannot be effect without cause.
Any boy in school knows that
The fact that the modest little Baumgartner of
only few stands today as Deroits leading
INSTITUTION for mems apparel is an effect.
Baungartner has not been increasing floor space and
starting branch stores result Of any spendthrft
notion to sink his money nail deep into costly lumber
bury it under tile floors exhibit it in showcases.
He has simply responded to demand, which demand
is further effect.
The effect speaking quite plainly for ITSELF inter-
est centers entirely in the cause. and so our sermon
goes
The man who has constructed one-story building
without taking into the possibility of wanting to
add stories it at some time has constructed
neither wisely well.
The Detroit times., 1914-09-29

Baumgartner started one-store business upon
foundation which took into account the Baumgartner
ambitions the Baumgartner taste and understanding OF
the necessities the whs and notions the ads and foes
of dressy men.
The Baumgartner business was built upon founda-
ton of material that years would strengthen; upon
foundation that would endure if built upon mile high,
and the substance, exclusively was OF CONFIDENCE.
The business that is built upon confidence is bu1ded
wisely and well
The Baumgartner success proves it. ss 7y4s
Confidence Of the buying public merited and main
taned has been the and the Of the Baum
gartner success.
Frequently we hear the mistaken speech that this
that mans business has grown"
A business does not grow like weed or cabbage
A business is built, the same house barn
The head of business is the boss carpenter.
The successful boss carpenter is the boss who gets
only competent men around hrn-1nen who will drive
nail he would drive it himself with the attention
and the same care.
Baurngartner has been successful builder because
he has selected help him. eutenants who reflect his
individuality; who courteous and consderate who
study the trade while selling Baumgartner has
studied it before buying.
patient salesman is big asset to the builder in
business.
Baungartner statesmen patient.
And the builder Of business must build with
square.
dollar in value for dollar in money is the Baum
gartner standard.
It is standard that begets CONFIDENCE.
