FROM TUESDAYS DAILY

London, Oct. i3-A repol >omes from Ostend that tn Germans in northern Franc re retreating northward, but i <, believed here that this mov $ simply a ruse to- draw tn Allies out of their positions t less favorable ground and ther' attack them. Lille and the re- zion surrounding it is nov free from the Teutonic forces but others advancing from Ant p'erp have occupied Ghent, s, 1t is thought they will try l. effect a union and await tht coming of the French and Brit lsh. The latter however hav' completed their line of defens, to Ostend, and no attempt al m advance will be made eXcep as a whole, the idea being il possible to crowd the Ger mans out of France and Bel gium. back across the German frontier.
 Three Killed In P..ris
 Paris. Oct. German aero planes dropped over a score ot bombs yesterday afternoon oI this city. Many of the bombs failed to explode, but in spite of this, three people were killed and considerable damage done.
 German Trenches Captured
 Paris, Oct.I 3-An important position near Lassigny was cap tured by the Allies yesterday al the point of the bayonet. A Ger man battle flag was among the captured equipment.
 Prussian Losses 211,000
 Berlin, Oct. t3-The casualty ,isl of the Prussian army thus f;,r Iii the present war Was published last night. The to- ta; number of killed, wounded and missing of the Prussian forces alone amount to 211,- 900 men. The list of those ol the other states of the empire Is not stated.
 Belgian Queen At ostend
 Ostend. Oct. 13-Queen Eliza beth of Belgium, who fled to England just before the fall of Antwerp, arrived at this place last night. The entire popula- tion was present to do her honor. She says she will stay by her husbands side until the war is over.
 Ostend Is The Next
 Berlin, Oct. 13-The War Of flee announced this morning that Ostend was the next place to be taken by the German arms. The town has no perman Qualifications, and the harbor Is so shallow that the larger ships Of the British fleet will not dare to come in close enough to en- gage the attacking batteries.

FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY

GerLlan armies against that place. The Belgian govern- ment has been moved from Os- tend to Harve, France, and the Allied troops are being rushed forward to befend the former place. The Germans are said to be advancing on Ostend along three different routes, and the last reports had their cavalry and bicycle corps within twenty miles of the coast. The cap itulation of Antwerp has freed fully two hundred thousand men which Germany had to maintain in Belgium, and this force will now be at liberty either to act as an independent army against Ostend or 10 bo added to the millions Germany now has in France. The addi- ton of this body of men to .he German battle line will give them the preponderance Of numbers, and if properly handl- ed they may be able to sweep the French and British forces back, capture Paris as they took Antwerp. and force France to give up the fight Or be wiped out of existence. It is not be- lieved here that even Kaiser Wilhelm is fool enough to actually undertake the con- quest of Great Britain, with the armies of France at his heels, and he must first dispose of that country, and thus put him. self in position to under 'l-e the other. It may be fat the German plan of cam oaign calls for the capture of hn towns along the coast of
 algium and France now used by the British for landing pur- poses, so as to delay the arriv- al of more men and supplies from this side. But this is cer- tain that Briton is at last walk ing up, and her millions are
 ow offering themselves for ervice under her banners.
 Portugal Delcars War
 London, Oct. IA dispatch rom Lisbon announces the fact hat Portugal has declared war against Germany and has or dered the mobilization of her forces.
 Drop Bombs At Nancy

 Polish Battle Continues
 St. Petersburg, Oct. t4-The Russian forces are getting the upper hand in the fighting in Poland. The battle line now ex- tends from the country around Warsaw to south of the River Kneister.
 German Center Attacked
 Paris. Oct. dissatisfied that fhe Germans had weakened their center to send men north in the effort to cut the Allies off from the coast, which fact is reported by aerial scouts, the order was given last night for an advance against the Ger man center today, and fighting is now being waged. The AL lied troops have had a geod rest the past several days and are anxiaus to get to close quar- ters with the Germans.

Moved by A. L. Bulls that Robert

that Mr.. Schultz is not affiliated with
the majority electors of the republican
party and has refused to act.
Carried.
Committee upon principles made the
following report:
We endorse the State Pletform of
the republican party of 1912, and note
with qualification that many of the re.
forms there demanded have been
made.
We express our confidence in our
state proposal committeeman and the
state committee and believe that they
will ~promulgate a platform which we
can and will support.
We desire however to make specific
mention of important matters upon
which we believe the committee should
act athrmatively.
The application of the primary prin-
ciples is still in state of evolution.
We pledge a simple, more direct
and less expensive plan for the express
sion of the public will through the
primary election.
The primary election system of max
ing nominations must be continued.
We maintain that railroad rates
are still too high and that rates based
upon a profit on watered stocks and
excessive bond issues are unfair and
oppressive.
We believe the physical valuation of
all railway, telephone, telegraph and
express properties should be continued
as the only fair basis for rate making.
We declare for the abandonment of
contract labor in our p~enitentiary. Re-
formation and redemption of men
should be the primary consideration
and this cannot be accomplished under
our present system of prison manage
ment.
We believe that the state constitu-
ton should be amended SO as to per.
NIT appropriation for internal i'm
provements with special reference to
road building, irrigation and the de-
velopment of water power.
