(By Herbert Temple)

London, Oct. 19.-HOpeS that had
been raised high by the announcement
of the British Press Bureau that the
Germans in France have been driven
back thirty miles were dashed today
by an unofficial report that the Kais-
er's troops are approaching Dunkirk,
the great fortified seaport of France
across the channel from England.
This report came in a Rotterdam
dispatch to the Daily Mail. 1t said:
"a message just received from a
German source reports that the Ger
mans have crossed the Belgian border
into the coast of France and are now
about eight miles from Dunkirk. Port
Des Dunes, the first of Dunkirk's out
er defenses, is in their path"
1t is stated by the press bureau
that no official confirmation of this
report could be given, but it's trans
mission and publication were permit
ted. News of the arrival of Admiral
Won Tirpitz, head of the German navy,
at Antwerp, is taken here as confir-
nation of the theory that Germany
intends to make an attack on England
as soon as practicable.
There are rumors that German
submarines have been transported by
rail TO Belgium and that these will
be put into the English channel as
soon as the Germans are in undis-
puted possession of the coast.
Berlin, Oct 19 (Via wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.)-England's appeal to
Portugal for help, because of the
chaotic condition in South Africa, and
reports of revolts in India, have
raised Germany's confidence as to the
outcome of the war.
A report from Constantinople says
England has sent three active bat
talions from Malta to India. Russian
troops from Bessarabia have been sent
to the Caucasus, where revolts against
the Russians have broken out. The
Russian general staff is finding it diff
ficult to create new formations, be-
cause officers and non-commissioned
officers are lacking.

Paris, Oct. 19.-Reports from the
front late this afternoon state tha;
the Germans have opened a terrific
bombardment on the allies east O.

Prices at Calgary are much the

Many interesting Stories
of the North
west.

Canada is the country for the poor
man. according to c. ]. Laumann, VINO
formerly lived in Iowa, but who has
been at Lethbrige and Calgary, IN
the Alberta province. Mr.. Laumann
is here to prosecute suit in the dis
tr,ct court. He also says that Can
ada is not a paradise, as 1t IS some'
fines credited to be. But Mr.. Laumann
thinks favorably of the British coun-
trv to the north of the United states.
"It is better for poor man De-
cause he can raise more crops on MS
land than is possible here" Mr.. Lau-
mann said. The climate at both
Lethbrige and Calgary Is ideal and
pasturage lasts thirteen months out
OF the year, Mr.. Laumann says. By
this he explained that the pastures
were always good.
Mr.. Laumann is not going into
ecstacies over the Canadian country
as compared to his old home, but
does say that he saw better horses
and cattle in the province Of Alberta
than he has seen in Iowa. He lays
this to the fine pastures.
The Japanese current tempers the
winters in this part OF the country SO
there is no winter to speak of, Mr.
Laumann maintains. Another thing
Mr.. Laumann called attention to was
the long hours OF daylight In the
summer time. 1t would not be safe
for people to hire out from sunrise
to darkness he thinks, because in tn,
summer, at 10 o'clock W night on

ATHLETICS AS A PREVENTATIVE
OF INTEMPERANcE.

Sport and alcohol are two directly
antagonistic elements like fire and
water. The antagonism between them
is due to the physiological action of
alcohol which weakens the working
power of the muscles and nerves while
sport exercises and increases it.
Hence, every one who wishes to pre-
pare himself for physical or athletic
exercise, instinctively avoids alcohol.
Sport is also a helpful means of
combating the immoral influence
which alcohol brings upon the people,
especially the young. 1t strengthens
the will, makes for strong personality,
directs the superfluous energy of the
young into safe paths, occupies their
leisure time and keeps them from the
dangers of the drinking places and
the misconduct to which alcohol leads.
The more the demands of life in
crease the more need there Is of ply
steal, mental and moral soundness i'm
the rising generation. The dangers
arising from alcohol can be practically
opposed by providing sport and ath-
i0'iSS' Scientific Temperance journal.

attorney. Both the judge and the
prosecuting attorney are non
Catholics.
The outcome of this trial, while
pleasing not only to Catholics but
to all right-minded citizens, must
be calling to the Guardians of
Liberty and the Federation of
Patriotic Voters who are parading
Anna as victim of the hardships
endured by members Of Catholic
Sisterhoods. Since Anna "escap-
ed" from the convent in which
she says she was confined against
her will, she has taken to herself
husband in the person of one w.
R. Cunningham, Of Ritzville,
Wash, who is seventy-nine years
old. This marriage as not by any
means a union of May and Deem
Der for Annals baptismal record
shows that she has seen fifty-siX
summers, although she does not
plead guilty TO more than forty.
The example set by Winona
should be followed in all other
places where Anna gives a lecture
for women only" A few con-
victions like this would dampen
her ardor, because it would lessen
the profit which she derives from
her lectures, which is the sole OBJ
ject for which Anna is prosecuting
her unholy warfare against the
Catholic Church.
Score one for Winona and pass
the good news along, that other
localities, threatened with vista
ton from this coy and youthful
ex-nun," may profit by it.
