London, Nov. "a Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam says that
German 42-centimeter guns have been
placed on Borkum island, in the North
sea-
Borkum is small island belonging
to Prussia at the mouth of the Ems.
It is sixty miles southwest of Helgo-
land. It is the most southerly of a
string of islands that skirt the Ger
man coast from Cuxhaven to the mouth
of the Ems. These, with several
islands owned by The Netherlands,
constitute the Frisoan group.
The strategic value of Borkum is
land, which is six miles in length and
two miles wide, lies in the fact that
it commands the estuary of the Ems
and, perhaps, might be used as a sub
marine base and also in the defense Of
East Fris1and, the district of Prussia
which forms the northwesternmost
corner Of Hanover and OF the German
empire.

IS BLOCK D
Germans Unable to
Reach Coast a /,
DELIVER HARD BLOWS
Invaders Strive in Vain to Break
Allies Line.

London, Nov. 3.-The Germans con
tinue to strike hard blows on the al
lies line in their endeavor to get
through to the coast. Thus far they
have found every road blocked, but
apparently disrega,rding losses they
continue to attack. The floods, the
Belgian army and the British fleet
having barred their way southwark
along the coast the Germans are now
striking on line stretching from
Ypres in Belgium to La Basse, farther
south, in France, but seemingly with
no more success.
The stubbornness of the fighting
along this line may be gathered from
the fact that the town OF .Messines,
which the Germans now occupy, has
been taken and retaken no less than
four times since last Saturday, each
time with enormous losses in killed
or wounded.
Attacks also have been made along
the entire battle front as far east as
the Vosges region, but, according to
the French report, with the Germans
having no more success than in the
northwest.
German Army May Retire. 4:
The belief is growing here, and it
also has been expressed by those re-
turning from Belgium, that the Ger
mans are making a last effort to get
through to the coast and that if it
fails they will fall back to positions
which have been prepared in central
Belgium.
Although the fighting is continuous
on the East Prussian frontier, in Po-
land and in Galicia there is no i'm
portant change in the situation and it
is believed none is likely until the
Russian armies come up with the
Germans, who are retiring from the
Vistula toward the Wharf.-The river. On
this river it is considered likely that
another big battle will be fought.
The backbone of the rebellion in
South Africa seems to be broken.
Colonel Maritz' commando in the
northern province has been defeated
completely. Several of the raiders
and most of their men have been cap
tured. General Beyers is in fight and
General De Wet has opened negotia-
tons for surrender, it is said.

Louie l.. Guesnier, for Fourteen
Years IA Resident of Pullman, Is
Crushed to Death by Auto
mobile at Seattle

Louie L. Guesnier, for IA years
engaged in the bakery business in
Pullman, was crushed to death be-
meath an automobile Wednesday,
March %, at Seattle. Mr.. Guesnier
came to Pullman about 20 years ago
and opened bakery in the rooms
now occupied by the City restaurant.
His ovens were located in the bui!d-
ing on West Main street, Just oppo-
site the high school. Mr.. and Mrs.
Guesnier remained in Pullman until
about seven years ago, when they
went to Spokane, later removing to
Seattle, where the accident oc-
CURED. Mr.. Guesnier was an active
member of Pullman Camp No. 10,
Woodmen of the World, and the
funeral services were conducted by
the Seattle camp at the request of
Mr.. Guesnier's fellow lodge mem
bers, He carried $4,000 insurance in
the order.
The Seattle Observation-Disclosures
gave the following account of the
accident:
On the 22nd anniversary of his
wedding, L. l.. Guesnier, 81 years
old, an employe of the city street
department, was run down and killed
by an automobile truck. The fatal
accident occurred shortly before
noon yesterday on Fifth avenue, at
Marion street. The truck under
which Guesnier was crushed to
death was driven by Harry Knapp, SO
years old, for the Brace G. Hergert
Mill Company. The news of Mr..
Guesnier's death came as a terrible
shock to his wife while she was pre-
pairing their little home at 1916
Ninth avenue for an informal OBJ
servance of the treasured anniver-
sary.
The truck, which was loaded with
lumber, was going south on Fifth
avenue at rate of about five or six

miles an hour when Guesnier, hold
ing the sides of his coat up against
his face to protect himself against
the strong wind and rain, started to
cross the street. Klapp said that he
sounded his horn several times and
that when the truck was within
about seven feet of the man he
turned around and started to run,
but the right front wheel caught him
and passed over his body.
Knapp, witnesses told the police,
halted the machine before the back
wheels of the truck had reached the
body. The driver jumped from his
scat and carried the man into the
Seattle General hospital, only a few
steps away, but Guesnier died before
attention could be given him. A.
Van Vechten. treasurer of the Fred
5. Stimson company, who was look
ing out from a window in the hos
pital and was an eye witness to the
accident, said that Knapp made d
strong effort to avoid striking the
man.
Knapp went to the police station
and made a report of the accident
While there Acting Prosecuting At
torney Everett S. Ellis fixed his bail
at $1,000. Klapp spent two hours
in the city Jail before the attorney
for the mill company could be
reached to put up the bail.
Deputy Coroner Frank Koepfli
yesterday announced that an inquest
probably would be held Friday af-
ternoon. The body was removed to
the Bonney-Watson undertaking
parlors.
Guesnier was born in Germany
and came to this country in his early
boyhood. He was married at
Seward, Neb., on March %, 1891, on
the same day of the year and within
half an hour of the time he was
killed. The Guesniers came to the
state of Washington about 20 years
ago, first settling at Spokane. They
lived for a years at Pullman, Wash,
where Mr.. Guesnier ran a store. Be-
sides a widow the deceased is sur
yiyed by a daughter, Mrs. II. Krin-
sci of Leavenworth, Wash; three
brothers and two sisters.

The following letter from O. NJ.
Plummer, secretary of the Portland
Union Stock Yards Co., shows how
the State College of Washington i'm
presses visitors from a distance:
Portland, Ore, March 20.
Editor Herald wish it might
be the good fortune of every citizen
of the State af Washington to have
an opportunity of visiting the State
College, as l did last Monday. Presi-
dent Bryan very generously gave me
of his time the greater part of the
day, and we covered in a rapid way
the entire institution.
1t has been my good fortune to
have visited all of the agricultural
colleges west of the Rocky mountains
including Wyoming, Colorado and
New Mexico, and in my opinion no
institution has the natural advant-
ages of Washington State College.
Standing on the high point back of
the college buildings, farm unfolds
itself in a series of panoramas of
rolling hills, showing the first green
of the clover, of the wheat and of
the alfalfa, with large sections of
new ploughed ground which, at
distance, looked as if every particle
had been pulverized by hand. The
little lake just beyond the athletic
field gives the necessary dash of
waterscape, and must have been, in
the old days before hazing went out
of fashion, a most convenient spot
to cool the fevered brows of the in
coming Freshman.
In visiting the University of Idaho
the day previous l was under the
impression that they surely must
have the best athletic field anywhere
in the country, but I found at Pull
man one equally as good. One hun
dred thousand people could very
easily be furnished reserved seats to
witness any event on the splendid
field below.

PULLMAN PEOPLE
FAVOR PROHIBITION
-Four Hundred and Eighteen Sigma
lures to Petition Already Certi-
fled Legal by City Clerk
GannOn-TOtal Will
Reach 500

That Pullman people are over
whelmingly in favor of statewide
prohibition is attested by the largely
signed petitions, asking that prohi-
bition for the entire state be made
an issue at the election this fall,
which were this week turned over to
City Clerk Matilda F. Cannon for
certification. A total of 10 petitions
were turned In, bearing 424 sigma
lures, only six of which were de-
clared illegal because of non-regis-
tration, leaving a total of AS sig
natures which have already been
certified by the city clerk. The total
registration in the four city precincts
has reached 673, and thesignatures
to the petitions represent over 62 per
cent of this total. One petition in
each ward is still out, an extension
OF time having been granted, and
without doubt the grand total list of
signers in the city will reach we'll
over 500 when all the petitions are
checked.
A significant feature of the cam
paign for signatures which has been
Vaged for the past two weeks is the
fact that, although house to house
canvass of the entire city was made,
less than 20 voters refused to sign
the papers. The petitions bear
about an equal number of male and
female signatures. In some cases
the head of the family signed the
petition while the wife refused, on
the ground that although favorable
to statewide prohibition, she did not
care to take part in political affairs,
but in most cases the order was re-
versed.
Of the signatures already certified
by City Clerk Cannon, 243, or well
over one-half, are residents Of the
two College hill precincts, while
Ward l has the record of turning in
the lightest petition, only 83 electors
being represented on the paper.
Ninety-two voters in Ward 2 signed
the petitions, 149 in Precinct "a OF
Ward 3, and "a in Precinct Y OF
Ward 3.
