Continued from page one

I'm the main northern theater of
the war, the German advance appears
to continue without slackening its
pace.
1T must be indeed an over-wearied
army that the Germans are bringing
toward the forts of Paris. They have
made an effort which clearly deserves
to be called superhuman. Nothing
like it ever before was seen in war.

spent themselves in vain"

er than the influx at the north sta
lions, where refugees from Belgium
and northern France, mingled with
returning wounded.
Nearly the total population OF the
departments of North Disc and Seine
et-Oise have fed at the first sound of

Emigrants from Creepy -Valois,
in the department of Disc, 23 miles
southeast of Compiegne, report that
the Germans were crushed near there
and that piles of bodies were lying
yards high. A sergeant wounded in
the neighborhood of Compiegne de-
clares he witnessed the humiliation
of an entire German division by the
French artillery.
Reports of refugees given in this
dispatch that the Germans were fight
ing in the vicinity of Compiegne, in
the department of Disc, indicate a
further marked advance of the Ger
mans. Previous reports had them
| fighting at La Fere, in the depart
ment of Aisne, about 70 miles from
Paris. Compiegne is less than SO
miles from Paris in the department
of Disc, which is just north of the
department of the Seine, in which
Paris is located.
Washington-O Official advices re-
ceived through diplomatic channels
today reported two of the most i'm
portant developments of the present
war.
The German embassy gave out a
message from Berlin; received by
wireless, claiming that the German
forces had captured near Allenstein
10000 Russian prisoners, including
two commanding generals, 800 Of
ficers and the entire equipment of
Russian artillery.
Great Britain asked the United
States to be prepared to care for
British interests in Turkey, indicat-
ing that the allies had practically
lost hope of persuading the Ottoman
empire to remain neutral. Dispatches
received at the British embassy re-
ferred to the incorporation In the
Turkish army of several German Of
ficers, which was regarded as the
forerunnsr of Intervention by the

Talk of German Atrocities

Paris-The publication in France
of stories of German atrocities in
Belgium has aroused the people to
a remarkable degree. An instance
is reported from Leipuy, in the de-
partment of Haute Loire, where the
indignation of the local residents
against all Germans was so strong
that a young girl carrying dinner
from a restaurant to two Bavarlan
officers in prison at Leipuy was in
tercepted by and angry crowd, which
destroyed the food in her hands. In
spite of the fact that this restaurant
had been ordered by the local COM
mandant to supply meals to the two
Bavarian officers, it has been boy
cotted by the people of Leipuy.
Today's War News in Brief
The fourth day of the second gen.
eral battle between the Germans and
the allies finds Emperor William s
forces pressing with unprecedented
strength their advance on Paris.
Their right is reported to be within
80 miles of the French capital.
In the absence of official announce
ments, news dispatches indicate that
the British and French continue a
stubborn resistance, giving way slow
ly, however, whenever this strategy is
necessary to keep their lines intact
and prevent an enveloping by the
German right.
In the east the fighting progresses
with undated fury. Both the Rus
sian and Austro-German armies have
met successes and reverses 1t is ad-
mitted in Petrograd est. Petersburg
that two army corps were defeated
in east Prussia and that three Rus,
sian generals were lost.
On the other hand, the Austrians
appear to have been defeated in Cali.
cha, where overwhelming successes
are claimed by the Russians. This
claim finds support in dispatch from
Vienna, which states that the Aus
TRANS have decided to evecuate Lem
berg, the capital of Ghlicia.

community of interest of Bulgaria
and Turkey. The Turkish situation
was watched with deepest concern
by diplomats because of the immin-
ence of general war in the Balkans
and extension of the war drama to
all of eastern Europe.
The official statement of the big
German victory against the Russians
attracted wide attention. Military
obl rv6rs pointed out that if the
number of Russians taken prisoners
had been correctly estimated at TO-
900, there must have been great
casualties, no mention of which is

AUTOMOBILE HAS
A SEVERE CHILL

A party OF young men from Cazepo-
via on recent evening started to La
Vale via motor car and midway be-
tween1Ironton and LaValle the engine
got chill. In attempting to warm
that part of the machine where circu.
lation was retarded they set fire to the
car. They extinguished the blaze by
carrying water in their hats from a
nearby creek and failing the flames
with their coat tails but not until
most of the woodwork had been
burned. According to the Cazenovia
Reporter the young men arrived home
about twelve bells after pushing the
bones of the car against stiff, cold
wind for several miles.

evening. The following morning at
daybreak he was seen driving toward

the seat. He wore pair of black
eyes, also bump on bis nose. He

became very sick and was removed to

passed to compel overall manufac.
