Said Germans Are
Leaving Warsaw.
HOLD SLAvS IN CHECK
AuStrianS Tell Of Victories in
Vicinity Of PrzemySI.

London, Oct 26.--That the Rus
slams, generally speaking, continue to
hold the upper hand in the eastern
arena of the war is the gist of most
of the dispatches reaching London
and, accepting these as true, England
thinks that the putting of Germany
on the defensive in this territory will
prevent her from transferring any
forces to the western arena of the
war
Petrograd reports a continuation of
the pursuit of the Germans retreat
ing from Warsaw, Poland, and admits
an Unexpectedly stubborn resistance
to the Russian offensive from the
Austrians on the San river.
The official Vienna report, after de-
failing successes before Przemysl, in
Galicia, and a dashing movement to.
ward the Vistula river, admits that
the Russians were permitted to cross
the San river in several places. The
Austrian report, however, says the
Russians are being pressed against
the river by an Austrian offensive
movement, adding that 1000 Russians
have been captured. Before Ivan
gorod the Austrians declared they
have captured $500 Russians and fif
teen machine guns.

Great Battle is Raging.

The Times correspondent at Vladi
mir, in the Russian government oil
Volhpnia, says the battle now raging
on the line from Sambor, along the
River San, to Przemysl and Jaroslau
and then to the southwark, for the
number of men engaged and the bit
terness of the fighting, probably is
war. At all points the correspondent;
found the cannonading was terrific
and uninterrupted.
He says the Austrian attempt tt
bisect the Russian army and reoccupy
Lemberg, the Galician capital was
defeated and the Austrian losses were
heavy, 5000 Austrian prisoners hav
ing been taken. Around Jaroslau the
Germans are cooperating with the
Austrians, but the Russians are saiC
to be in possession of that town.
Berlin officially reports that Rus
sian attacks west Of Augustowo have
been repulsed and the Germans have
captured several machine guns. NJ
reference Is made to other districts
in the eastern theater of the war.
The French war office denies the
report from German sources that the
Germans had attacked the French col
ony of Jibouti, on the east coast o.
Africa. Berlin official advices say the
English consul at Shanghai seeks tC
prevent further transportation of In
dian troops from China to England

whelming vote in this state.
Forget all that, and remember that
Jones is a republican. Because he is
republican you should vote for Jones
say the standpat organs.
Isn't that a nice argument to pre-
sent to intelligent voters ?
The Star advocates the election Of
Ole Hanson because he is man that

impulses; because he is honest.
Party politics is immaterial. Han
son would be just as good a man in

just as abominable if he had joined

Do You Want To Pay More Taxes
Next Year

On the fifth of October the tax pay
cry of this town have an opportunity to
meet the city council and protect, if
they so desire, to the estimate of ex-
pense as submitted by the council for
the year 1915. The estimate was pub
lished in last weeks Echo as matter
Of news for the information OF the pub
lie. We submit, that in our judgment
some Of the items are too high, and
indicate the necessity Of higher tax
levy next year. We recall that a ire
mendous howl went up last March
when the tax payers received from the
county treasurer statement OF their
taxes for 1914. The Echo stated then
that if the tax payers thought the taxes
ought TO be lower they should have be-
gun to howl and kick one year sooner.
1t is too late to kick after the assess
ment rolls are made up. The time to
kick is NOW. Let every tax payer
study well and closely the estimate
and if he thinks it is too high be on
hand Monday night, Oct. and be
prepared 10 point out the items and
give reasons for their belief. 1t is al
most certain that your tax statement
next March will be higher than it was
last March, with all you can do to hold
the levy down.

An Insult to Voters

THE Argus has no especial fault to
find with Ole Hanson. AS rule this
paper believes in getting every pos
sible Office for Seattle and King coun-
ty. But there are exceptions to every
rule. Ole Hanson is a Progressive. "
The above is an exact quotation
from the Seattle Argus. And the Ar
gus epitomizes all the opposition"
against Hanson. There's no fault to
find with Ole. He's honest, capable,
and with a heart that beats for hu-
manity. But = he's a progressive.
Therefore, says the Argus and all other
standpat organs, don't vote for Ole.

Increased opposition to the rpo-
posed eight-hour law is being encoun-
tered among the farmers of the state,
who are now awakening to the harmful
results that would follow for them if it
were adopted. The ridiculous and i'm
practicable results Of such a compul-
sorry law are more and more becoming
apparent. The farmers know that, for
instance, their farm work does not
stop from 5 p. m. on Saturday until s
a. m. on Monday. The stock must be
cared for and fed on Sunday as on week
days and if the help the farmer has
during the week is prevented by law
from doing this necessary work on
Sunday, he will have to hire extra help
just for Sunday. In the home work
must progress On Sunday as well as on
other days and that cannot be done
within eight hours in the day. Meals
must be prepared on Sunday, too.
Here, also, extra help would have to
be provided.

SOwed The Wind; Reaping the Whirl-
wind

The European war is now in the
eighth week Of its progress. 1t is fig
ured that up to this time three billion
dollars has been blown in by the war
ring nations, while some five hundred
thousand Of the best and most able
bodied men in Europe have been
either killed or seriously wounded.
War is hell, said General Sherman,
in 1865, after the close of the war OF
the rebellion. II it was hell then, it
is double-dyed hell and destruction
now with all the newly invented meth
DDS of killing men now in use. 1t is
believed that war under modern con-
ditions is just about twice as deadly as
it was fifty years ago. When one
reads the war news from Europe it is
impossible not to recollect our boasts
OF advanced civilization, and then blush
for very shame.
Nothing changes human nature so
much as war. Ordinarily decent, we'll
behaved human beings, when they get
into battle, act like very fends in human
shape. Their consuming desire is to
kill, kill, kill and destroy. When one
stops to think of it soberly there was
really no cause for i'll feeling between
the common people. Their prejudice
and hatred has been aroused and famed
into fame by kings and kaisers who tell
them that they and their wives and
children are to be enslaved, made
prisoners, mistreated, their property
taken from them and their very name as
a nation blotted from the earth. For
forty years the German people have
had it hammered into them thru the
kaisers press and by word of mouth by
his emisaries that the French were
arming to the teeth to capture and
enslave every German. Doubtless
many Frenchmen we're doing the same
thing. For the same length of time
the English nation has been fostering
a war spirit and encouraging hatred of
everything German. For more than a
generation the children Of Europe have
been encouraged by precept and ex-
ample to hate and fear each other, until
ill-feeling and war spirit became a
part OF their being. For fifty years
Europe has been sowing the wind.
The harvest is whirlwidd of blood and
destruction.
When will it end, and the echoing
answer comes back, When2

Constipation in Summer time is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or

taminated and is more likely TO fer

the hot weather, thus injuring your
stomach. Collie, Fever, Ptomaine
