No Change In Poland.

The German official report speaks
again of the German offensive on Aug
ustown, Russian Poland which it de-
clares is progressing. 1t reiterates
that the battle near Ivangorod, al
though favorable to the Germans, re-
mains undecided.
North of this section the Russians
claim to be still pursuing the Ger
mans, who attempted an advance on
Warsaw, and southwark to have
crossed the Vistula and driven the
Austrians backward.
In Galicia and in the Carpathians
the Russians also claim to have brok-
en- down the Austrian offensive.
Russians Victorious.
In the present battle on the River
Vistula, from Warsaw south to the
River Pilica, the Russians have scored
an important victory in driving the
Germans back and have captured
many prisoners, besides guns and am
munition. But the defeated army,
when it gets back to its selected posi-
tion, can entrench and start another
siege battle such as that which oc-
Cured on the River Aisne, in France.
Southward of the Pilica the Germans
still hold the River Vistula except in
front of the fortress at lvangorod,
where they were driven back by at

Neither Side Gains.

1t is the same further south, around
Armentieres, Lille, La Bassee and Ar

eging fierce attacks, gaining or losing
few miles or less of ground with
sacrifices of life that are appalling.
The whole countryside fairly is reek-
irg with the blood of thousands OF
killed or wounded. Both sides speak
OF the heavy losses they have impos-
ea on their adversaries, but say moth
ing of their own dead or wounded, to
fill the places of whom reinforcements
are being brought forward.
The British fleet, which bombarded
the German flank as they advanced
along the coast, seem to have with
drawn. The Germans say this was
because their artillery was beginning
to reach the ships. The belief is eX-
pressed here, however, that the Meet
will be able to render untenable GER
man occupation of any part OF the
Belgian or French coasts. The oph-
ion is also expressed here that the
operations of tie allied vessels IN the
North Sea, off the Belgian coast anu
in the vicinity of the Straits OF Dover
may cause the German fleet TO COME
out and give battle.

from advancing without overwhelming
efforts further toward the Channel
ports.
The character Of the country pro-
hibits rapid movement, as the land
is cut up by canals, and two strong
series of defensive works separate
them from Dunkirk.
To add to the trials of the troops
engaged in the desperate fighting a
short spell of fine weather has given
place to another downpour of rain,
which will convert the lowlands of
Flanders into great lakes.
Five Nations in the Battle.
The fighting along the Belgian coast
probably is the most picturesque bat
tie ever fought. On shore the troops
of five nations are fighting-the Aus
trians and Germans on one side, the
French, Belgian and English on the
other side. At sea British monitors,
gunboats, destroyers and submarines
are fighting side by side with French
warships, while at the same time they
are being subjected to attacks by Ger
man submarines and airships.
Prepare Antwerp for Siege.
1t is clear that the Germans are
putting Antwerp in a state of defense.
In most of the important forts the

Belgians damaged, has been repaired.
Evidently the Germans seem determ-
ined to force the battle to an issue.

San Antonio, Tex-General Car
rama, in a signed statement received
here Wednesday, accuses General Villa
of having given an order for the execu-
tion of former President Madero on
May Is, 1911.
Carranza predicts a bloody strife if
Villa is permitted to rebel. Among
others things, the manifesto says:
General Villa probably will forget
that on May 13, 1911, following the
capture of Juarez, General Villa and
his then partner, Pascual Orozco, ar
rested the then provisional President
of the republic, Francisco /. Madero.
Villa himself called upon the soldiers
to execute Madero.
villa, who now appears to cham
pion the clergy, ought to remember
that in every place he captured during
the campaign he expelled the priests
and closed the churches.
villa reproaches me for having is
sued 130,000,000 pesos in currency.

should pay the costs of the administra-
all previous state and national issues
so as to be able to have control and
check on our monetary system. Villa

sued 50,000,000 or 60000,000 pesos of
state money 1 desire to state in this
connection that all of the custom
house revenues of the state of Chi
huahua as well as the internal reve-
nues have been appropriated by Villa,

Through Roberto V. Pesqueira of
this city, CarranZa's accredited diplo-
matiq representative in the United
States Carranza sent personal ap-
peal to President Wilson and the
State Department protesting against
the activities of George C. Carothers
and the friendliness of the United
States for Villa. The statement was
forwarded to Washington. The state
ment reads in part:
1--WE have every reason to believe
that the accredited representative Of
the American government George G.
Carothers) has sold out to Francisco
Villa, alias Doroteo Arrange.
"This is his true name. He has as
sumed the name of Francisco Villa
only for reasons known to himself and
history alone will tell what crimes
his true name of Doroteo Arrange may
hide.
"At the moment that he was openly
declaring friendship for the United
States he was threatening to invade
the nation at Ell Paso and declared to
his closest advisers that he would con-
quer in a few months campaign"

Will This Country Help?
Reports to the Belgian legation at
Washington of tho miserable condi-
tions among the inhabitants of the
captured country, whose fields and
storehouses have been ravaged and
laid waste by four armies, have
prompted the Belgian minister, Mr..
Havenith, to redouble his efforts to
obtain funds in the United States for
the relief of his destitute people.
Open Way for Belgian Relief.
AS result of the urgent represen-
tations made to the foreign office by
w. H. Page, the American ambassa-
dor, the British government has given
its permission for the raising of the
existing embargo for foodstuffs to the
extent of allowing ships to depart for
Holland with quarter of a million
dollars worth of food bought by the
American committee for the relief of
Belgium.
Food for Relsians.
The American commission for Bel

The food situation in Belgium is be-
coming absolutely critical. Already
more than half a million persons are
being assisted by means of bread
lines, according to the American COM
mittee's report, there being more than
three hundred thousand of these per-
sons in Brussels alone. The supply OF
food for these bread stations, it is es-
timated, will not last more than a
week longer. 1t is expected that the
number of persons requiring relief
will increase to a million within a
month.

IF the Spokesman-Review would
give little more space to Kidding
the city of Spokane of the great
bunch of grafters who make that
place their headquarters than rely
upon catching unsuspecting victims
on some fake stock proposition or
something else equally as bad, it
would be doing its readers a much
better service than it does by railing
about the tariff. The tariff has not
done one-tenth the damage to this
country that The fakirs and grafters
have. IF the Spokane paper was as
much a reformer at home as it tries
to be abroad, it would have a much
better city there than reports would
indicate it now.
