SL0lU Improvement

BERLIN, via The Hague. Oct IL,

Belgium have effected a junction with
the right wing OF the army In France
was announced at the war once to-
day. II was stated that the general
situation Is showing slow, but, new
ertheless, distinct Improvement from
the German viewpoint.
In France the German right wing
has been engaged In a series OF con-
fiicts with the allies along the line
from Noyon and Roye into Belgium.
These encounters, the war office
says, while taking on the character
of actual battles, have been In the
nature OF separate moves In which
both sides have gained slightly at GER
tain points and lost at others. But
at no point. 1t is stated, has there
been any decisive result. Two or
three OF the positions, 1t is declared,
have been taken and retaken three
or four times. The weather 10 said
| to be bad and this has had the effect
Of slowing down the rapid movement
| of troops.
Ostend, It is stated, was occupied
by the Germans without struggle on
Thursday. The German advance
cavalry patrols found when they
reached the outskirts Of the town
that the enemy had retreated aban-
doning the entrenchments which they
had constructed north and east OF
the city. The burgomeister OF Ostend
In person surrendered the city TO the
German forces.
On the center and left It 10 stated
that the situation 10 unchanged. The
Operations In Alsace-L lorraine and IN
| the vosges are being greatly retard-
ed by bad weather and snow At GER
tain points. Z.

soil. Reports received from Vienna
say that Austrian troops have occu-
pied the fortified heights Of Starasol
to the east OF Chyrow and they have
also moved south along the San river
SO that they are reported to be near
ling the northeast front Of Przemysl
which continues successfully to resist
the Russian siege. The Russian army
OF investment, which is commanded
by the Bulgarian Gen. Demetrien
has attempted to check the progress
] OF the Austrian forces marching "a
i relieve the fortress. but In every. in
! stance they have been defeated.
I Temporary bridges thrown across
! the San river by the Russians have
been destroyed by the Austrian artil-
lery and many Russians drowned.
In the lighting In the neighborhood
of the Carpathians the Austrian
troops have retaken Taronya after
a four days battle In which they In
ficted heavy losses on the Russians
and are now pursuing the defeated
enemy toward Wyskow. All OF the
Russians have been driven back from
the Hungarian plains and the Aus
trians have retaken the passes
Through the Carpathians, according
to the latest Vienna adyices. the war

HOG CHOLERA SERUM BE MANU-
 FRACTURED IN LITTLE ROCK

Fayetteville. The State Uni versity has just completed ar engagements with the Veil Pack ing Company of Little Rsck to construct on the grounds of the packing company a plant for the manufacture of hog cholera se- rum. By having the serum plant in connection with the packing plant the hogs necessary for the manufacture of the serum can be had at very low price, and the cost of the serum to the far mers will be greatly reduced.
 Every year cholera kills hogs worth millions of dollars, the to- tai loss of the whole country be. ing estimated last year at eighty millions. A large part of this loss occurred in Arkansas. The serum. if used in time, is sure preventative of the disease.
 Plans fer the building of the new plant are being drawn by the university engineering de oartment aud construction work will begin at once.
