BERLIN lea 5 OF VICTORIES
Russian Reports Are Inventions, Says
German Statement.

London, oct. I3.-A wireless from
Berlin says the German general staff
issued the following concerning the
operations of the kaiser's armies in
east Prussia and in Poland:
'In the eastern theater we repuised
in the north all attacks of the first
and tenth Russian armies on Oct. 9
and 10. The Russian outhanking eff
forts by way of east Prussia were re
pulsed and the Russians lost 1000 pris-
oners. In south Poland the advance
guards of our armies have reached the
Vistula. Near Grodek, south of War
saw, we captured 1900 men OF the
Second Siberian army corps.
1.-THE Russian official communication
about great Russian victory at
Augustowa and Suwalki is invented.
The fact that no official Russian com
munication has been published about
the tremendous defeats at Tanneaburg
and Winsterburg vouches a lack Of re
liable official information"
1t is assumed here that lack OF news
from PetrOgrad in the past two days
does not indicate necessarily that tbs
Russian advance has been stayed.

ALLIES CONTINUE TO GAIN
General Joffre Sees Disaster For
Whole German Line.

Paris, Oct. 13.-General Joffre re
ports positively that the allies are get
ting foothold upon the heights Of
the Aisne, thereby imperiling the
whole German fortified position from
scissors to the ridge of the Argonne.
While advancing at this point, the
hinge of the battle line, the French
are also gradually lessening the strain
near Verdun and are making new
progress against the Germans in the
Vosges. Everywhere, from Belgium
to Lorraine, the allied line holds
stanchly. The official reports point TO
the fact that the Germans are gener-
ally on the defensive and are forced
to fight for their communications and
are unable to set in motion a danger
Gus offensive.
1t is unofFicially reported that the
allies are massing rapidly to defend
Ostend and the coast cities, and th2t
the Germans, while threatening tie
new capital of Belgium, have been
beaten back in several encounters.

Point For Boy Scouts.

When visiting my former regiment
the other day, says Baden-Powell, ]
found that several novel ideas were in
force in the physical training of the
young soldiers. One was that of teach
ing them to walk along a plank set up
on edge ut Il height of about five feet
above the ground. To walk along this
for about fifteen feet was the test of
balance and after a little practice
there was not one who could not do it,
although at first trial it looked hope
less.
1t might be thought to be rather a
waste of time to instruct soldiers in
walking the tight rope, but most Gu
rious results have been obtained from
it. Not only does lad become more
we'll balanced, confident and plucky,
but it has been found that he also de
velops very rapidly into good shot.
One old soldier, who was a particular
ly bad shot. was sent through course
of tight rope walking, and he soon
gained thereby the power of controlling
his nerves.

London, Oct. 13.-The Reuter- Tele,

from Amsterdam which says:
"a telegram from Vienna states il is
officially announced that the Austrian
rapid advance has relieved Przemysl,
Galicia, Of the Russians. The Aus
trians have entered the fortress at all

number were captured"
Many towns which q few days age
were in the hands of the Russians are
now again under an Austrian admins,
tration.
The message adds that the Russians
did not behave so badly as the au
thorities lad expected. Even the Cos
sacks conducted themselves humanely.

selves in strategical position to meet

An official statement given out at
Petrograd expresses the belief that the
death of King Charles of Rumania rt-
moves an obstacle to the turning OF
Rumania to the cause of the allies, &c
which end recent Russian diplomatic
efforts were unavailing. 1t is said
further that the sympathies Of the Ru
manian people, who in the past have
shown that they We're opposed to the
championing of Prussia by the late
king, will now assert themselves.

PARIS AGAIN BOMBARDED
German Airmen Continue TO Make
Raids Over French Capital.

Paris, Oct. 13.-Another German
bomb was dropped at ST. Ouen, a
suburb of Paris, but it did not explode.
This missile fell within a short dis
lance of large paint factory where
there is gasoline tank with {
capacity Of $4,000 gallons.
One bomb dropped between two
trains at the Northern railroad sta
ton; the others fell in the Rue
Pouchet and on the Boulevard Bas-
sieres and the Boulevard Clichy.
Later number Of deputies met at
the call of Deputy POnys Cochin to
consider various means OF rendering
the city more secure from aeroplane
attacks
The creation of aerial squadrons
stationed at cardinal points to be al
ways ready to dash after the aircraft
of the enemy as soon as they should
be signaled approaching the city; the
arming OF fast monoplanes with quick
firing guns and the telephoning of
warnings by residents of the capital to
the French aero club, which is now
under military control, were among
the suggestions discussed.

GERMANS OCCUPY GHENT
Little Known of Move Against Ostsnd.
Queen Still In Belgium.

London Oct. 13.-The Daily News
correspondent at Rotterdam wires that
the Germans have entered Client. This
message has been passed by the Brit
ish censors for publication.
The news of German movements be
tween Antwerp and Ostend up to the
present is so fragmentary and contra
dictory as to be almost worthless.
The Germans are maintaining thei
customary secrecy and reports coming
from Belgium and Dutch sources OF
heavy repulses to the Germans, with
losses suspiciously large and round in
numbers, are looked at askance now
adays.
The capture of Ostend would Of
course be worth the possession of
many Antwerps to the Germans plans,
so it may be taken for granted that
they will not enter the popular sea-
side resort without fighting for every
foot of the way. Great events, there
fore, depend upon the result of the
battle now in progress on the line Of
1LdS6lSAy anu lC44A anu Illt Ol4ltL W
erations connected Herewith, and i'll
which three German army corps re-
leased from the siege of Antwerp will
try to take part.
Definite information has been re
ceived here that the queen of the
Belgians, Notwithstanding the report
that she had reached England, has
not left Ostend for London.
In the course of the operations
around Antwerp last week King Albert
proceeded to st. Nicholas, an i'm
portant place on the railroad line be
| tween Antwerp and Client and beyond
| the outer range Of the Antwerp forts.
| His majesty was at St. Nicholas as
late as last Thursday morning. His
subsequent journey westward was in
company with Belgian troops, whose
withdrawal in that direction had been
rendered necessary by the over
whelming forces opposed to them.
The Posts spondent, who re
manned in Antwerp until noon on Fri
day, when the Germans were actually
entering the city by the Malines gate
writes an accurate description of the
| fall OF the city
He says that Burgomaster De Vose
on Saturday morning entered his auto
waiting in front of the Hotel de Vile
accompanied by three sherilfs. He
announced with simple, touching dig
nifty to those present that he was
going to surrender the city. He hac
hardly started on his mission wher
the square in front of the Hotel de
Vile became the object of a fierce
bombardment, the aim of the gunner:
being clearly the city hall and the
cathedral.
Houses near by went up in dust
paving stones spouted high into thu
air. All the windows in the east cor
ner of the Hotel de Vile wer'
smashed.

SAYS DUTCH ARE NEUTRAL
Minister Van Rappard Tells of Hoi
lands Attitude.

New York, Oct. 13.-Chevalier van
Rappard, minister from the Neither
lands to the United States, announced
here that way probably would be
found by his government to send away
the British soldiers who were driven
across the Belgian frontier into Hol-
land after the fall of Antwerp.
AS to how this might be accom-
plished, the minister did not attempt
to say. He added, however, that the
detachment of Germans who entered
Dutch territory unawares recently
were still informed.
The Dutch army, said Chevalier van
Rappard, Will defend Hollands neu-
trality at any cost. Although Holland,
he said, was trying to avoid an antaG-
| onistic attitude, she was alive to the
possibilities of the situation and rigOr-
Gus steps had been taken to prevent
supplies from reaching Germany
through Dutch ports or territory.

AMERICANS NEAR WAR ZONE
Men Who Offered Services to France
Headed For Front.

New York, Oct 13-SiE weeks ago
about 200 American residents of Paris
offered their services as fighting men
to the French government. The offer
was accepted, but since then the
Americans have dropped out OF sight
OF the American public. A local paper
received an account of the movements
OF the detachment sent by one OF the
volunteers. 1t came from Camp de
Mailley, Chalons, and in part says:
"At last we're on our way toward

pect 10 get word of lots of action when

Mexico.
Not only are Generals Carranza and
Villa represented, but General Zapat ia

The basis of representation agreed
upon was that each delegate must
prove he had command of at least
1000 men in the army or must have
been identified as a general or COVER
nor with the COnstitutionalist move
ment before Zacatecas was captured
from the Huerta government. 1t was
this point on which General Villa had
been insisting from the beginning.

men who opposed the acceptance OF
Carranza's resignation at the Mexico
City convention, made an impassioned

Maxine SIeiuhbelIs,

The seighbells We see are round
with an iron Jingle in them. Now
you know that this little jingle could
not have been put through the holes
of the bell, so perhaps you would like
to know how the bell is made. 1t is
made by a man called an iron founder.
First he puts the jingle inside little
ball of mud, which is just the shape
and size of the metal ball. Then he
makes a mold the shape of the outside
Of the ball. The ball of mud with the
jingle in it is put inside the mold then
hot metal is poured in and fills the
space between the ball and the mold.
But when the mold is taken off the
bell will not ring. AS soon as the dirt
inside the mold is shaken out the jim
gle is still in the bell and it will ring
now. 1t took many years to think how
to make a sleiGhbell.
