This summarizes the official news Of
the fighting of yesterday and today.
The unofficial reports are even more
indicative of severe reverse to The
German troops in Flanders. There v
a report that the allies have retaken
Dixmude at the point of the bayonet:
that the French marines have ham

The outstanding feature of the COM

made by the German armies In this
north was as fruitless as their many
lesser attacks In the past four weeks.
II they hold Dixmude. the town Is OF no
profit to them. for an unbending line
OF the allies holds the left bank Of
the User and bars the way to Dunkfrk
and Calais as staunchly as the west
flank and center blocks, the roads To-
Paris. There is no real belief here that
the Germans are ready to admit defeat
by a retreat to Central Belgium, but
the question is asked. How long can
they suffer? The finest of German
troops. the prussinn Guard. have boen
thrown back three days in succession

i,oHdon. Nov. f3.--Tbc news was

have driven the Germans beyond
the frontier OF Siiesia. The Ger
mans are reported 10 have suf-

The report. II unofficial, but is pub

consent Of the censor. Correspondents
at the front for Petrograd newspapers
telegraph that the Germans made a
desperate effort to defend line Of en-
tvenchments from kaliscz to Cren-
stachowa, but could not stand against
the bayonet attacks of the Russian In
fantry. The victory is said 80 have
been gained largely II s. the result of the
rapidity of the Russians in sending a

Siiesia In Panic.
The correspondent OF the Daily News
in Copenhagen hears from German
sources that there is a general panic
among the Inhabitants Of Silesia and
that thousands are fieeting westward
= a
ant at Dresden has issued an urgent
warning against the spread of rumors
which have already caused much eX-
element and damage. II is reported
from Berlin that the great landhoiders
Of Silesia are urging the Kaiser TO be
content with a defensive in the west so
as to save the Eastern provinces from
the humiliation of Russian occupa-
ton.
The Russians appear to have made
progress equally rapid in the region
of Cracow. Reuters Agency reports
from Petrograd that the Russians are
at the very gates of Cracow and that
hattla for the possession of the city Is
imminent. The correspondent adds:
The Germans have been digging
trenches and erecting harbed wire en-
tanglements along the whole OF the

CUTTING OF WEEDS
DEMANDED BY BILL
WA|DELE AG|TATES
Councilman Insists Rank
Growth on Vacant Lots
Mitigates Against Civic
Beauty and Pride.

The weed question came up for an
other discussion at the council meeting
last evening. Councilman Waidele
wrathfully exclaimed that on some va
cant lots in West Richmond weeds six
feet high were growing and distribut-
Ing enough seed to make that section
of the city one great weed patch next
year. He concluded his remarks by
introducing resolution to have the
ordinance committee report an ordi-
nance which would require the cutting
of weeds on vacant lots. 1t was unan-
imously adopted.
Mayor Robbins called attention to
the fact that many of these lots are
owned by non-residents of the city,
and that it would be as difficult to
have the weeds cut on them as it is
to have them pay for improvement as
sessments.
Cou4cilman Waidele came back with
the assertion that the city could well
afford, as measure of protection to
the public health, to pay for the cut
ting of weeds on such lots.
Milk Bill Goes Over.
Two ordinances were to come up for
consideration last night, but both were
laid over for two weeks. One is the
amended milk ordnance, Wnlcn Is TO
provide principally for the delivery OF
all milk of gallon or less quantity in
bottles. and for the sterilization of all
bottles and dairy utensils.
Councilman O'Neal, who introduced
the amendemnt, was not present, and
out of courtesy to him no action was
taken on the measure. The other or
dinance was that requiring the placing
of electric lights in the alleys in the
rear of all business houses. The terms
of this measure were so indefinite as
to make it worthless, so it was refer.
red back to committee.
1t is probable that when it Is re
ported back again it will provide fol-
the placing of small incandescent
lamps at every alley intersection in
the business district, the current to be
furnished by the city without charge
This was the plan the city officials
found in operation at Columbus, Ind.
during their recent visit to that city

STARVING Man GETS
AID FROM SHERIFF
Farmer Finds Cook Lying
Exhausted on Railroad
Track Near Centerville.

In a state of complete exhaustion.
George Ray, 27 years old, who gives
New Castle as his home, was found
within few feet of the railroad
tracks a mile east of Olive Hill last
evening about 6 o'clock, by Albert
Schweitzer, a farmer residing near
Centerville. Sheriff Bayer was called.
He was brought to the county jail
and not until late last evening was he
able to given even a meager account
of himself. He said he had had moth
ing to eat for three days and had left
New Castle in search of work. He Is
cook by trade.
A physician was called, who, on ac-
count of the exhausted condition of
the man, was unable to learn further
of his real condition. He will be held
at the Jail until more is found out
about him. Sheriff Bayer said the
man was so weak that If he had not
been discovered he would have died
from exposure and exhaustion. His
condition this morning was somewf at
improved but he is still unable to give
an account of himself. He said that
he had sister in Lima, O., but re-
fused to give her name.
