GERMAN ARMY
LACK SUPPLIES

Rotterdam, Sept. 21.-There seems
to be little doubt that the German re-

to it's rapid advance. Authoritative in

THE WAR SITUATION.


There are many indications that the
war situation is improving. The Ger
many army has been checked, and will
ultimately be placed on the defensive
on their own soil, without doubt.
The loss on both sides has been so
appalling, that there is a cry from
every quarter of the world for peace,
which must soon be headed by the
powers engaged in war at this time.
The common people of Germany and
France do not want war and would
welcome peace while the men of Eng
land have responded very slowly to
the call to arms, acting indifferently
about the whole matter. Europe has
had enough of destruction and death
each week and finds the desire for
peace growing at tremendous rate.

FIGHTING IN THE AIR.

Fighting in the air is surely some
thing new in so-called civilized war
fare. The fight in the air mile above
Paris in which three machines with
rapid fire guns fought battle was
witnessed by thousands who were
facinated by the sight and in the ex-
element forgot their own danger. 1t
is wonderful to contemplate the rapid
movements of the inventions and one
may confidently expect in another
twenty years to see air crafts flying in
the air without human occupants and
controlled entirely by wireless opera
tors, so it is predicted by eminent in
ventOrs.
