so that the French have made a con-
siderable advance to the northwest
since the last mention was made o.
this part of their army. The coun-
try is a rolling one, intersected by
streams, canals and a perfect net
work of roads running in all direc-
tions.
The French report admits that the
Germans have succeeded in gaining
a footing on the Mouse heights and
have pushed forward in the direc-
ton of St. Mihiel, bombardiug the
forts of Paroches and the Roman
camp which face each other across
the Mouse. The communication, how
ever adds that, on the other hand,
to the south of Verdun the French
remain masters of the heights IF
the Mouse and that their troops,
debouching from Toul have advanc-
ed in the region of Beaumont.
In the center to the east of
Rheims the French have made some
progress but elsewhere nothing OF
Importance has happened so far as
is shown in the official reports and
no other information is available as
the strictest censorship has now
been established.
Some confirmation comes today Of
yesterdays report that the Germans
have suffered a reverse on the East
Prussian frontier. Several train
loads of wounded, including German
prisoners, have arrived at Pskcv, ac-
cording to Petrograd dispatch,
having been engaged in severe
fighting on the borders of Suwalki,
where they say the Germans suffer-
ed heavy losses.
In Galicia the Russians have an
nexed few more towns and are
perfecting their plan for an attack
on PrZemysl and advance against |
General Dankl and eventually the
fortress of Cracow.
While the Servians and Montene-
grins are closing in in the Bosnian
city of Sarayevo the Austriaps have
retaliated by resuming the bonn
parchment of Belgrade, which during
he early weeks of the war was un-
Ter constant fire from the Austrian
guns across the river. They have
llso attempted to cross the Danube,
)ut, according to Servian reports,
lave failed.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Webster City People Should Learn
to Detect the Approach of
Kidney Disease.


The symptoms of kidney trouble
are many. Disordered kidneys often
excrete thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by sensation
OF scalding. The back may ache,
headaches and dizzy spells may &C.
cur and the victim il, often weighted
down by feeling of languor and
fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger. Delay often
proves fatal.
You can use no better endorsed
kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills. Here's Webster City proof Of
their merit.
Mrs. Martha Butler 1905 Third
st., Webster City, says: II had
rheumatic pains quite awhile and
never found any remedy that did
me much good until 1 took Doan' 8
Kidney Pills. Another Of my family
has also used them with benefit. I
highly recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to anyone who has kidney
trouble"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy

Hills loss is indefinite.
Fighting began early yesterday
near Santa Barbara and continued
through the retreat toward San
ia Cruz, which Hill ordered when
he found his troops outnumbered.
A concentration of the Carranza
forces, including all garrisons in
nothern Sonora which answered
Hills general order for their aid, is
ordered for Naco, where it is ex-
pected the definite test of strength
will come. Hill is playing for time
until General Iturbe arrives with re-
Inducements from Sinaloa.
Hills wounded were first taken
to Cananea, his headquarters, but
last night arrived at Naco along
with Cananea refugees. Supplies

way and as the troops are with
drawn from the west they are burn
ing the railroad bridge.

Paris, Sept. 26.-The official COM

the battle in northern France, says
that yesterday morning French
troops in the region of Noyon were

FUNSTON WILL REMAIN.

Washington D. c., Sept. 26.-Sec-
rotary Garrison yesterday ordered
Brisadier General Funston, COM
handing the American forces at
Vera Cruz, not to withdraw during
the next ten days.
Secretary Garrison announced
that the order was caused by a de-
lay in the adjustment of many de-
tails incident to the transfer of
funds and the customs house.
1t is understood President Wilson
and Secretary Garrison have not yet
considered the possible effect of the
Villa revolt on the American evac-
uation and as Mr.. Garrison plans to
leave Washington today for the
week end, it is probable the ques-
ton will not be taken up until the
cabinet meeting Tuesday. As there
are so many other questions to be
settled, the officials take the view
that there is no occasion for q has
ty decision concerning the troops.
General Funston, in report yes
terday, confirmed news of the cut
ting of rail and wire communication
between Vera Cruz and Mexico City.
He added that it was not known
whether the constitutionalists along
the railroad were fighting among
themselves or whether the work Of
destruction was by former federals.
American officers on the Arizona
frontier in a report yesterday, de-
scribed the manner of Villas proc
lamation of independence. He said
a notice declaring the concentration
of the Villa forces for a march on
Mexico City was written in chalk
on a blackboard in front of the No
gales customs Office by persons I'M

Wilson Holds Up Well

Most citizens are proud of our
president. His policies are proving
to be safe and sane. Even his most
bitter critics have had to quiet down
lately. His Mexican policy is COM
Ing along even better than many Of
his staunchest friends hoped for; his
foreign policy has been one of manly
neutrality that has commanded the
respect of all powers thus far and the
admiration Of his countrymen; his
proposition offered to the employers
and the employees in Colorado offers
. solution of the coal strike which no
one has been able to solve before.
Wilson is a man Of noble motives.
He is deep student Of public affairs
and apparently has the practical
common sense in civic matters as
we'll as the theory. We are not in the
class that can see no good In the ad-
ministration officials that we did not
support. We are proud Of President
Wilson and consider him better than
his party.-Hayden Republican.
The above is from the Hayden
(Routt county, Republican, and
shows that Editor Smith, though
Republican, can rise above mere
partisanship.

A Washington dispatch says that
President Wilson Is taking much in
terest in the pending campaign. He
strongly urges on the voters Of Colo
RADIO the imperative duty of rallying
to the support Of Senator Thomas.
In an interview given out at the
national capital the other day, the
president declared:
1.-THE maintainance Of q Democrat
ic majority in the senate is of the
utmost Importance, II the present
policies and program of the govern
ment Is to be sustained and con-
tinued."
Citizens of Rio Blanco county, II
you believe In the work already done
by the Wilson administration, and
more to follow along the same line,
your duty is clearly pointed out to
you In the above brief sentence.
Since entering the United States
sentate, Charley Thomas has been an
earnest and consistent supporter OF
President Wilson in every one of the
great reforms put forward by the
administration.

Montgomery in Garfield
County

The last issue of the Rifle Tele-
gram says:
In advocating the election of w. s.
Montgomery rs . member OF the
Twentieth General Assembly Of Col
prado, the Telegram has not over
looked the fact that Mr.. Montgomery
resides in Meeker and that the Re-
publican nominee for the same office
is a Gsrfield county man, but In
considering the question as to which
Of the two would best represent this
district and more ably serve the two
counties, there is only one answer to
he made. Personally we have q very
high regard for Judge Noonan, but
very few elections have been held In
this county without the Judge either
seeking some nomination or becom-
ing a candidate, and even far
stretch Of the imagination cannot
lead to the conclusion that with this
knowledge in possession Of the voters
his candidacy is strengthened at this
time. In response to the repeated
urgings Of large number of personal
friends, Mr.. Montgomery consented
to accept the legislative nomination
II the same were rendered him, and
the fact that his home county gave
Hun practically unanimous vots at
the primary election, while here in
Garfield county he was also the
choice Of a majority Of those voting
the Democratic ticket, proves that
he enjoys the confidence and esteem
Of host of friends and that 1t is de-
sirable he become a member Of the
states law-making body and serve
during the years 1915 and 1915.
