Taking Reservists
Off Neutral Boats is
Not Defined Right

WASHINGTON. Nov 3.-The State de-
partment has not yet defined Its attitude
toward the British contention of the right
of removal from an American ship OF it's
German or Austrian reservists, and it
was said at the department today that
not only until specific case arises will
there be any declaration of policy on the
subject.
So far. while the British authorities
have removed some of these reservists
from American ships, the action has
bccn taken In hurbors within the terri
torial jurisdiction of Great Britain. Even
In that case it has not been conceded by
the department that this right of removal
may be exercised beyond the taking off
of passengers or of small portion OF
the crew.
II the privilege were exercised TO the
extent % tieing up an American vessel
FOR want OF a sufficient crew to navigate
II and thereby interfering with Amer
lean commerce, the department probably
would lodge a strong objection. The
whole subject is admittedly open to new
construction ana very complex, involving
the right of fully naturallzed American
citizens and those who have merely made
declaration OF their intention to become
I citizens.
While the United States government
asserted the right TO take "contrabanded"
persons from a neutral ship In the famous
Mason and Slidell case in 1851. the pris-
oners were afterward released on the
ground that Captain Wilkes OF the San
Jacinto had acted without direct author
ization from his government, which felt
that the right to make prisoners In this
fashion was too delicate to DC exercised
Wy a naval officer even where no courts
were available.

heavier forces were being got ready and
brought up.
1T was known that they were rsising
new army and that part Of IL would
probably be sent to the western theater
either to cover the troops laying siege
to Antwerp. in case that place should
hold out. or to act in conjunction with
the besieging force in a violent offensive
movement toward the coast
After the fall of Antwerp and the re-
lease of the besieglng troops there was
gradual increase in the strength of
their opposition. The resistance OF the
attachments grew more and more de-
termined as more infantry and guns came
up into the front line until Tuesday, Oc-
tober 20, when the arrival opposite us of
large portion of new formations and a
considerable number of heavy guns en-
abled the enemy TO assume the offensive
practically against the whole OF our line
at the same time that they attacked the
Belgians between us and the coast.
1.-The operations then assumed n fresh
complexion. On October 81 the new Ger
man formations again pressed all alonG
our line. South Of the Lys an attack
on our lines was repulsed with loss TO
the assailants. We were driven from
some ground close TO the north. but re-
gained II by a counter attack
"Still further to the north the Germans
gained and retained some points. Their
casualties 20 the southeast OF ATmen-
there's were estimated at more than 5000.
Fierce Action Near La CHER.
ION the north of the Lys, in our cen
ter, a fiercely contested action took place
near LaGheir, which village was cap
tured in the morning by the enemy and
then retaken by us. The German casual
ties were extremely heavy. One battal-
ion OF their 10th regiment was practically
wiped out. some 400 dead being picked
up in our lines alone.
by our counter attack we took 1870
prisoners and released some forty OF our
men who had been captured Our men
were well treated by their csptors
| "On our left we advanced against the
German Twenty-sixth reserve corps near
Paaschendaeie and were met by a de-
termined counter offensive. which was

NOTES FROM TRYON AND
MCPHERSON COUNTY

'TRYON, Neb., Nov. 3.-(Special. )-What
might have been a serious accident was
averted Saturday night in this city by
the presence of mind of F. L. Robertson
and Prof. o. A. Johnson. The Tryon
High school was giving a Halloween en-
tertainment in the odd Fellows hall, and
at about 10 O'Clock Mr.. Robertson noticed
that the floor was settling and the build
ing swaying. He quickly added more
braces and went upstairs and told the
professor, who asked the people to move
to the sides of the building so that a
pie-eating race could be put on. When
the center of the floor was clear he then
told the people the trouble and asked
them to vacate the hall, which they did.
About 300 people we're in attendance at
this entertainment.
The prospect of drilling for oil in the
vicinity OF Tryon is taking on new life
again. The Holloway Bros. who have
made the most promising strike, having
gone through fifty-two feet of sand in
which there were strong indications of
oil, are negotiating for a machine which
will put down a hole $500 feet, and it is
their intention to put down several holes
to this depth.
Never in the history of Mcpherson
county has there been a crop raised under
such peculiar circumstances. Farmers
gave up raising any potatoes during the
months of July and August. and many
of them let their patches go to weeds.
The last of August several good rains
visited this section after a two months
drouth and the potatoes commenced to
grow again. As a result reports of good
yields are coming in and potatoes weigh
ing from one to two pounds are being
exhibited in town. Many who in August
said they would not have a spud are now
telling Of having from 800 to 400 bushels.
