Big BATTLE CONTINUES
RUSSIANS CLAIM DECISIVE VIC
TORY OVER GERMANS AFTER
SEVERAL DAYS BATTLE.
German Offensive Brought To Full
Stop as Result of Decisive Defeat
Administered by the Allies.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris.-The German offensive has
been brought to full stop as a result
Of the decisive defeat administered by
the allies in the four-day battle Of
Roye.
The French resumed the offensive
and concentrated the pick of their
fighting strength, supported by the
heaviest guns of their artillery, at
Arras, 25 miles from the nearest en-
croaching point of the Belgian border.
The movement was met in force by
the cream of the German defensive
line, and a struggle of great magnitude
was precipitated.
The French, supported by the Brit
ish troops, directed a determined as
sault against the hastily fortified po-
sitions of the Kaiser's forces in an ef-
fort to cut the railroad lines leading to
Brussels.
Petrograd.-The official communica-
ton from the general staff headquar-
ters issued reads:
"The battle of Augustowo ended, Oc-
tober 8, in victory for the Russian
arms. The German defeat is COM
plete.
"The enemy is at this moment in a
disordered retreat and in flight toward
the East Prussian frontier. The va
liant Russian troops are in close pur-
suit, the Germans abandoning, in their
desperate march, trains, cannon and
munitions, not having even time to
gather up their wounded.
at is already known that the battle
of Augustowo began on September 29
with q bombardment by the German
heavy artillery in the region of Sopotz-
kin ION the left bank of the River
Niemen), followed by an offensive
movement by the enemy against the
same fortified town.
"At the same time the Germans
made repeated efforts to crush and dis
locate the Russ ian forces near Drus-
keniki, on the Niemen.
"On September 26 the Germans also
began an attack on the fortresses of
Ossowetz, but everywhere met with
fierce resistance and were compelled
to retreat. Not satisfied with counter
attacks, our troops took the offensive
vigorously and pursued the enemy"

ment made in Berlin today the great
battle in France is still undecided.
The Germans are described as ham
mering the French positions at numer'
GUS points by their heavy artillery.
The attempts of the allies to break
through the German lines have been
repulsed. The heaviest losses have
been in the Argonne region.
The Germans continue to make
steady progress.
The fighting in France, the siege OF
Antwerp and the offensive operations
under General Won Hindenberg in the
east, ell going on the the same time
are taken in Berlin to indicate that
the German army is not lacking in
men.
Alarm In Berlin?
Amsterdam, via London, Oct. g.
A dispatch from the German capital
says that the Berliner Tageblatt prints
significant article by it's military
correspondent, Major Moraht, who
while asserting confidence that there
will be a fresh German advance on
Paris, is careful to add:
But there is another possibility
which must command the conscien
tious attention of calm observers OF
the fuctuating struggle: What would
be gained by the allies if they force
our right wing to the Belgian frontier?
Nothing but the passing success which
would be the beginning of the end of
the Franco-British presumption of vic
tory"
Major Moraht then explains that the
farther the allies move from Verdun
and Toul, which, he says, form their
last great strongholds, the longer is
the distance they must travel back
when the stream of German armies
broad and unhindered, flows westward
from Lorraine.

FRESH TROOPS MEET GERMANS

On the Battle Front, Oct. 2.--Heavy
re-enforcements for the allies, made up
of East Indian troops and territorials,
the latter including a Scotch regiment
of sharpshooters, have been hurled at
the right wing of the German army,
which is giving way foot by foot be-
fore the terrific onslaught.
The fresh troops are continuing the
recent terrible hand-to-hand conflicts
occasioned by the intrepid Germans.
who are attempting at times ineffec-
tual sorties.
Fresh Troops Push On.
Not only have these new REINFORCE
ments prevented the Germans from
breaking through, but they have gained
ground, although at a terrific loss.
No intimation has been given by Off
cials regarding the number of fresh
men sent against the enemy on the
west Various guesses have been
made, some as high as 10000.
1t was learned that further re-en-
forcements are expected momentarily.
Colonial troops are on their way, not
few of whom have seen service in
South African and other campaigns.
Struggle With Russians.
London, Oct. 3.-The great struggle
between the armies of Russia and Ger
many, the latter REINFORCED by the
remnants of the Austrian forces, has
begun. Upon the outcome of the series
of battles now in progress all along
the great front from the Baltic on the
north to the Austrian stronghold OF
Cracow in the south the fate of Ger
many hangs, according to the opinion
of many military authorities.
Germany now faces the supreme test
of checking the great Russian armies
which threaten invasion. Unless the
Russian armies can be decisively
checked all along the line Germany
will be forced to wage retreating
campaign in defense of Berlin.
For this decisive campaign an army
of 100000 Germans and Austrians has
been assembled just inside the Russian
Poland frontier from Cracow through
Czenstochowa to Kalisz.
Russians Win in North.
The first stage Of the great battle
seems to be in favor of the Russian
forces. 1t is officially announced in
Petrograd that Russian armies have
won decisive victories over large Ger

Prussia and Silesia.

London, Oct 4.-The three weeks

Neither the Germans nor the allies

the French and British troops have ad-

On the other hand, the Germans

Keep Up Terrific Battle.
On the Battle Front, Paris. Oct. A.
A thrill was in the air all along the
extended allied lines today. The
French and British troops, who have
been over a fortnight in the closest
contact with the Germans, felt they
had accomplished their hard task Of
preventing the Germans from breaking

ton Of Germans In great strength at

the commanding generals discover the
dispositions Of the enemy through
aeroplane scouts.
An important factor in the winning
of battles is surprises. The aviators
in the present war have made this fac
tor negligible one.
For this reason, the battle of the
Aisne is continuing for an unprece-
dented length of time. The public, not
familiar with all the strategy, is in.
clined to be impatient of fighting with
out an end, but those who know de.
clare themselves perfectly satisfied
with the progress being made by the
French armies.

Germans Wearing Out

The German forces on the west ap-

fighting. Some of the corps have been
almost wiped out.
The German attacks in the last

been able to repulse them and follow

The Berliner Tageblatt in a leading
article says:
'The German people await anxious

from the French war theater. The
news of the great advance Of the
French troops against the flank Of our

know that our front line is protected
by broad eschelons, which are ready
to oppose such an enterprise.

be lasting.

Entertainment
 Great Success

The Red Mems Entertainment last Saturday night was one of the biggest successes of the season. About two hundred people assem- bled in the Hall and had the time of their lives. The fore part of the evening was spent in playing. cards, Mrs. Hood wining first prize and Mrs, McGehee Second, for the ladies, and MT. Hofstad, first and MT Johansen second, for the men. After the cards were over a bount- ous luncheon was served, after which the party returned to the hall room where very fine music al program was rendered. To do justice to the program we would have to mention each one seperate
 but suffice to say it was one of the best ever rendered in the city. The
 Red Men and the Committee in charge can justly feel proud of the
 success and merits their order among the highest of the entert-

Pendergast stated that they now have 7I fox all told on the farm, of that number 25 are Al Black fox and the others are silver and cross. The farm coV- CTS about four acres but all of it is not used for fox as the company have the largest part of it under. cultivation and according to MT. Pendergast, have some of the fin est spuds ever raised in the world besides a lot of other garden stuff, The land of course WAS very dry so they overeame this by irrigation bringing the water down from Deep Creek and first running it through the fox pens and then the overflow was turned into the gar den, making thh stuff grow like magic. There are two fox farms at Telegraph, and on the other one are 22 fox of all kinds.
