The Importance of. the fall of Dix
nude is difficult to estimate without
an exact knowledge Of how the op-
posing forces are disposed in this To-
cality, but the town is on the direct
road % Dunkirk and If the German
forces can debouch from it the allies
probably will be compelled to fall back
to new positions in their effort to
block the way to the coast.
The allies still hold YpreS, where the
fighting evidently is of the most des-
perate character. Shells are falling in
the town which also is the object of
areoplane attacks. Armentieres which
has been bone of contention, being
first occupied by the invaders and time
by the defenders has now become too
hot for occupation by either side. The
Germans are on the hills on one side
of the town and the allies are attack
ing increasingly from the other side.
For the moment the Russian pursuit
along the Silesian frontier has slack
ened. The Germans are reported in
London to be making efforts further
to strengthen their line of fortresses
anticipating Russian invasion and
the marvellous system of strategic rail-
roads extending along the line Of fort
resses between Graudenz, Thorn. Posen
and Cracow will enable them to brine

German center is not likely again to
be exposed to the weakness which led
to the retreat before Warsaw.

chief clerk to r. J. Parker, general
superintendent Of the Santa Fe, said
last night.
The Rock Island is employing a
large extra force of workmen in To-
peka and at other points along their
line to clean and fumigate their cars.
The Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Frisco,
Missouri Pacific and other railways in
the state are beginning this work.
It will take time for this work and
the cars will have to be sidetracked.
This will cause an indefinite delay in
all stock shipments and will possibly
cause a blocking of freight shipments
of all kinds. The railway officials are
pessimistic. The foot and mouth dis
ease is spreading and 1t is probable
that similar cautious measures will
be taken in other states.

around Dixmude the Germans are en-

apparently would threaten the Ger

FOR YOU, TEACHERS!
This Brand of Weather Made to Order
by Our Own Sunny Flora.

The Kansas school teachers could
wish for no better weather than Sun
n.y. Flora, the weather observer, gave
them today. The rain that was pre-
dicted failed to show up. It was a
trifle warmer last night, the tempera-
ture at the lowest point being AZ de-
grees above zero, at $50 o'clock this
morning.
Throughout this month. the weather
has been about the October normal.
Three years ago today, however, it
was Z degr es above zero, and In 1902
it was 73 degrees. If the weather was
as cold today as three years ago. the
merchants would probably sell a huge
quantity of winter clothing.
The forecast calls for partly cloudy
weather tonight and Friday and colder
Friday. In the western part of the
state it will be colder tonight Ex-
ceedingly cold weather in Topeka will
not be felt for some time yet. al
though 1t will be pretty chilly Friday
night il the forecast holds good.
At o'clock this afternoon the wind
was 20 miles an hour from the south
west. The temperature was 10 degrees
above normal today.
