OF THE War
SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS As
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Sept. 11.-Special:
Last reports of the French govern
ment indicate that the offensive tao
tics undertaken in the last day or
two by the allied armies have had
the effect of forcing the Germans
back at various points in the battle
line, which extends from a few miles
east of Paris to Verdun, a distance of
about 200 miles.
Bordeaux reports officially that the
army has crossed the river Marine and
the Germans have fallen back twenty
five miles. The efforts of the Ger
mans to break the French lines on
| the Ourcq river are likewise official
ly reported to have failed.
Seemingly the Germans are short
of ammunition at the front and are
having difficulties in provisioning,
but French war department officials
announced that on the whole the
Germans appear to be beginning a
movement of retreat"
The Russian and Austrian armies
continue to oppose each other in a
long drawn out engagement in the
Lublin district, Russian Poland. An
official statement issued at Petro-
grad declares that both Austrian and
/ German troops have been dislodged
from their fortified positions in that
section and have retired towards the
| south.
. The battlefield in France is that
over which Napoleon fought in 1914,
with e~ntrenched camps on both wings
and the center. Paris covers the left
wing, Chalones the center and YER
dun the right, while mobile columns
of troops are ready to join in the
! fighting wherever the line is threat
ened.
vitry lie Francois and Montmirail
seem to be the points of the chief en-
gagements and there the carnage has
been the heaviest. The allies aim at
preventing the German turning move
ment with a mass of troops composed
of many army corps.
King George has addressed a mess
age to the British dominions and col
onies in which he protests that the
war was not of Great Britain's seek
ing and expressing his warmest
thanks for the assistance rendered by
them.
Maubeuge, a French fortress, has
fallen into the hands of the Germans,
and according to the report the Ger
mans took 10000 prisoners and 400
guns.
The British official press bureau
announces the wreck off the coast of
Scotland of the White Star liner
Oceanic. Officers and rew were
saved.

EDITORS ARE VICTIMS
OF Swindler Who Is Caught BY Fed
eraI Officials at Portland, Ore.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 11.-Informa-
ton of the arrest by the federal au-
thorities at Portland, Ore, of John
Keefe, alias j. C.. Deerway, alias
York B. Conway, on the charge OF
using the mails to defraud. was OF
peculiar interest to a large number OF
the editors of South Dakota newspa-
pers who were victims of the Port
land swindler. His scheme was to
advertise certain Oregon lands for
settlement through the country news
papers. Intending settlers were adj
vised to send him between SO and SO
for maps and other information con
corning the alleged land. The adver-
tisements were sent to practically all
of the South Dakota newspapers, and,
believing the Portland man to be
honest, a large number of the papers
published the advertisement. Some
of them yet are carrying the adver-
tisement, evidently having overlooked
the fact that the swindler has been
taken in charge by the United States
authorities. 1t is estimated that dur
ing his ~swindling operations and as a
direct result OF the publication of his
advertisement in such a large num-
Der of papers the swindler profited to
the amount of many thousands of
dollars.

VALUABLE MEDALS
Presented to the State Museum BY
w. j. Turner of Springfield.

Pierre, Sept. 11.-Will j. Turner

three very interesting med
ais. The most important is the medal
given by Lewis and Clark to the
Yankton Indians, August 80, 1904.
1t is of solid silver. and has the por-
trait of Jefferson on 1t. The medal
was lost for many years, but was
found about five years ago. Another
medal in the collection was given to
old Smutty Bear, by Manual Lisa, In
1913. 1t has the portrait of Madison
upon it. These medals were struck
to use among the western Indians and
keep them from joining the British

al is a Washington medal and 1t was
the property OF Struck by the Rec
(Old Strike). How he came by 1t Is
not known, but it is supposed he Sc
cured 1t by inheritance from his IA
Their. These Washington medals
were struck at the close OF the wal
of 1872 and many of the leading In
dams who signed the peace treaties
were given them. They were used
for a long time and as late as tbs
peace and intercourse treaties oil
