paused, waving both hands frantically,
the head Of the pursuing party swept

At the same time the chauffeur no

were following the woman pellmell
throwing themselves down the slope
with gigantic leaps and bounds.
And then great explosion rent the
peaceful hush of night-that till then
had been profaned by the pattering
cracks of the revolver fusillade.
AS the roar of dynamite subsided
the entire side of the hill shifted and
slid ponderously down, choking the
ravine with debris to the depth o1
some thirty or forty feet, burying the
leaders of the pursuit beyond hope OF
rescue.
Only a instant later the motor car
jolted to halt and Alan pulled him.

TRYING TO PIERCE THE LINE
Here the Flower of the Kaiser's
Army Battles.
Germans Reported in Retreat in
the VOsges Mountains.

London, Sept. To-day, on the eve
1f the anniversary of the capitulatiOn
OF Sedan, 100000 troops are battling
on the French frontier-the Germans
in headlong effort to celebrate the
day with a dramatic success; the
French. backed by their British allies
to avenge their defeat of A years ago.
That the Germans have gained
ground in their encircling movement
on the French left wing is admitted by
the French foreign office, but it is as
serted also that after three days
battle in this region the Anglo-French
line, although pushed back, remains
unbroken.
This is described as the wearing
down policy on the part of the allied
armies and it is claimed that the losses
OF the attacking forces have been
enormously greater than have those of
the defenders. French reports alone
are available thus far and nothing is
reaching the public in London to en-
able even admitted experts to form an
opinion of their real value.
The Heavy Fighting.
The heaviest fighting appears to be
taking place along a line from Per-
onne, in the department of SOmme, to
There the flower of Emperor Williams 8
army is trying to pierce the British
defense. Further to the east the forces
OF the German crown prince still are
attacking the French in the region
about Mezieres, the capital of the de-
partment of Ardennes.
Yhe only points where the French
claim to have gained positive successes
are in the Vosges mountains and in
Lorraine, where the Germans are said
to be in retreat.
The statement that Emperor Will
liam has gone to the Russian frontier
cannot as vet be confirmed.
Independent views of the fierce fight
ing now going on in East Prussia and
in Galicia are entirely lacking so it is a
case of one taking his choice between
the German Austrian and Russian ver-
sions of the battles.
The anxiety of friends of Milicent,
duchess of Sutherland. was allayed this
afternoon by the receipt of dispatch
from ]. w. Gerard, the American am
bassador at Berlin, who telCgraphed he
had definitely Gscertained that the
duchess and her whole ambulance staff

new WAR TRICK
British Now Down Oncoming
Germans by Strategy.
Silence Guns, as if in Retreat,
Then Open Fire.

London. Sept 1.-Wounded men in
the hospitals of Boulogne related to the
Express correspondent there incidents
Of the fighting between the British and
Germans. One of the men, he says,
told Of trick yhich the British learned
in the Boer war and which worked very
well against the Germans. The story
Of the incident follows:
THE enemy, before sending their in
fantry against our positions, opened a
hot artillery fire. Our artillery replied.
at first warmly and then gun after gun
OF the British batteries was silent.
What's up now?' 1 asked a COM
rade. There were a few minutes more
of artillery firing from the Germans,
and their infantry came on in solid
formation. We received them with rifle
fire. Still they came on and still we
moved them down. They were getting
closer and We could plainly see the
dense masses moving. Then suddenly
the whole of our artillery opened fire.
You see, they had not been silenced
at all and 1t was a trick to draw the
Germans on. They went down in whole
fields for our guns got them in open
ground and. of course. they soon had
enough. 1t was impossible for those
behind to come up past the dead"

Samuel Graybill. state live stock san

fgnation to Governor Hodges and Tay.
lor Riddle of Marion was appointed as

change is effective at once although
Graybill may stay in Topeka several

In January, 1913. Graybill was ap-
pointed as livestock sanitary commis-
