5OO,O 600 Fresh
French Troops
For the Chase

Paris. Having saved the bulk of
its army by retreat that at certain
portions bordered on rout. the Ger
man General STAFF is now trying to
reorganize for defensive stand so
that another offensive weapon can
be whipped into shape.
All of the information received
here indicates that the German fight
is slackening speed
The German rear guard is contest
ing every step of the way. The lines
have been closed up and their resis-
lance is reported much stronger than
at any time since the retreat began.
The Germans are plainly evacuat-
ing all of the northwest of France
and Belgium, preparing for a general
concentration in the east either to
resume the aggressive, should the AL
lies show evidences that their own
rapid movements have also handicap
ped them, or for a defence of the
German Empire itself all along the
frontier.
There is no attempt here in Paris
to delude any one with belief that
because of the great victory of the
battle of the Marine the war is over.
Meanwhile Gen. Gallieni is sending
the most of his army of the defence
Of Paris, 100000 men, to reinforce
the French forces now fighting des-
perately to drive the Germans back
across the eastern frontier.

Antwerp. The Belgian army retired
to the protection of the first line of
Antwerp forts after having success
fully accomplished the task set to it
by the British-French General Stats.
For four days it has attacked and
harried two complete German army
corps, heavy detachments, Of the
Landsturm and 10000 reserve sailors
now fighting as land troops. The
object was to prevent any Of these
forces being sent to the aid of Gen.
Won Kluck
Belgians outnumbered.
Outnumbered more than to /, the
Belgians fought so desperately that
they not only held the enemy here,
but they forced the recall of the two
divisions that had been sent south
from Client.
The Belgian attack was delivered
at the German lines of communion
ton. It was directed by King Albert
in person and so swift was the raid
that the Belgians penetrated nearly
to Brussels, leaving a trial of Ger,
man dead in their wake.
Work Done, Belgians Retire.
The Germans were heavily re-en-
forced and the Belgians received or
ders to retire. At that time the Ger
man right wing was reported so badly
defeated that it could hardly rally
before the Belgian territory was
reached, orders were given to with
draw in order to the first line of. forts
and there reform and refit ready for
another offensive action.
During the four days of the fighting
enormous losses have been inflicted
on the enemy.
The Official Statement
The official statement from the War
Office covering the Belgian operations
was as follows:
after fighting for four days, in
which they carried out a definite pro-
gram the Belgian troops have return
ed within the outer ring of the Ant
werp forts. The original movement
developed into general action on an
extensive scale. The positions of the
enemy were very strong owing to the
nature of the ground and their extern
sive intrenchments thrown up during
the last fortnight"

RUSSIAN LEFT
CRUSHED BY GERMANS

i 4 y II
Berlin. The Germans have gained
another notable success over the Rus
SLAMS, it was officially announced in
Berlin. It was stated at the War
Office that the German army, after a
sharp encounter, completely crushed
the left flank of the Russian army in
East Prussia. The Russians are de-
clared to be in full retreat The way
has now been opened for an attack on
the Russian main army in Russian Po-
land along the line of Warsaw. 1t
may also be possible for the Germans
to flank the Russians, who have
been reduced to send additional troops
to Galicia, where the Austrians are
again reported to have assumed the
offensive
A cable from Petrograd admits that
the Russian forces in East Prussia
are retiring on new defensive posi-
ton to meet an attack by large Ger
man army which has Just arrived
from the west. This force is reported
to be made up OF several German
army corps withdrawn from the
French front and more than 100000
members of the second line. They are
heavily supported with artillery, and,
it is believed the great eastern Ger
man fortresses have been denuded Of
their fighting forces to increase the
forces in a general assault on the
Russian column.
The Russian advance guard, finding
the Germans in great force in the Ma
surenland region, has withdrawn on
the main column. Russian reinforce
ments have been set forward and the
Russian right army is to be streng-
thened Immediately. 1t is stated that
this movement will in no way inter
fere with the campaign against the
Austrians which is being pressed with
a great battle now in progress at Cali
ella.
That the Austrians have been very
strongly reinforced by the Germans
is admitted. There are reported to
be not less than five army corps of
first line German troops now fighting
with the Austrians along a battle line
that extends from Tomaszok, almost
on the Russian Poland-Austrian from
tier, southwark in an irregular line
through Ruwarska, then west OF Lem.

Russian Troops
Assist Belgium

London.-Russian troops aided the
Belgians in their offensive movement
against the Germans, which cut the
German lines at Countenberg, accord
ing to a despatch from Client. The
presence of Russian troops in Bel
GUM has been fully confirmed, but
all information as to their numbers
is withheld
The German government has warn
ed Germany to prepare for news of
reverses. No news of the fighting
in France has been made public since
September 6. Berlin is in state
Of panic over unofficial reports which
have reached there through Switzer-
land, telling of the German disasters

TURKEY. According to dispatches

TURKEY. According to dispatches
from Constantinople the first re-
suit Of the abrogation of the special
rights of foreigners is soon to be
felt. The administrators Of the
tariff are said to be preparing to
impose 100 per cent. duty on for
eign textiles, shoes and alcohol. The
duty on shoes will be the measure
which will most directly affect Am
erica. 1t is believed that an OBJ
lection to this increased duty will
be filed by the United States Gov
eminent, but it is doubtful whether
under present circumstances it will
be of much value

ference.

5oSToM.-Roger w. Rabson,
the statistical expert, has OUT
lined to President Wilson
scheme by which he says the
European war may be ended in
five weeks. His plan includes:
The establishment Of an inter-
national relations conference,
which Germany suggested two
years ago, when a naval holiday
was suggested, and which Great
Britain refused to consider.
The boycotting Of all goods inn
ported from the warning nations.
The cooperation Of the people
of the United States with Presi-

peace.
In this connection he says the

MORE THAN 100000 IN
BATTLE OF THE MARINE

BoRDEAUx.-The Battle of
the Marine was the greatest in
history. On this battle line
alone more than 100000 men
were engaged, Of whom $780,
coo were infantrymen, cavalry
men and artIllerymen. The 9TH
ers were In the engineering, avi-
alton and special service corps.
The three armies commended by
the German Crown Prince on
this line numbered $4,000 men.
II would appear from these fig-
ures, which are the War Office
estimates, that the Germans were
out numbered by approximately
100000.

IN HONOR OF HER SISTER.

Miss Nellie w. Farnsworth has is.
sued invitations to reception on
Monday, May II, from 4 to O'Clock
at her home at the Sheyenne apart
ments, in honor of her sister, Mrs. G.
L. Hubbell and Miss Florence Turner
of Fargo.
At 3 O'Clock the guests will meet
at the Rex theater, where Mrs. Hub
bell will read "Hiawatha," accompan
led by Miss Turner. Little cards OF
admission, accompanying the invita-
tons will be presented at the entrance
by the guests. Domestic science stu
dents of Miss Farnsworth will assist
both at the theater and in serving re-
freshments at her home, where the
reception will be held following the en-
tertainment.
AS reader, Mrs. Hubbell is well
known, not only in Fargo, but about
the state in general OF her recent
appearance at Fargo college the loca
press mentioned the following:
1.-THE Indian airs were genuine song:
of the redmen gathered by an archaeo
logist while among the tribes of the
Dakotas. The reader and the accom-
PIANIST pictured wildly the laughter OF
Minnehaha Falls, the thunder of the
mountains, Hiawatha's hunt, Minneha
has sad death and other we'll known
situations in the poem. The expires.
sive standings brought out by the &C
companist harmonized wonderfully
with the voice of Mrs. Hubbell and the
general context OF this favorite work.
Those who know Mrs. Hubbell's
work, realize the charm and strength
Of her personality. And yet so per-
feet an artist she proved herself, that
the audience thought only Of the char
acters that she made live before them. y

SAVE A LITTLE.
A Bank Account 10 Better Than Show
That Keeps One Broke.

That Keeps One Broke.
1t IS quite possible that the Amen
can family is too optimistic. 1t Is al.
ways going to have larger income
next year or in five years. 1t desires
to keep up in social matters with the
people next door or farther up the
street. 1t buys pianos or motorcars or
encyclopedias on monthly payments,
but in most cases put no monthly in
stallment in the savings bank. 1t has
no margin Of security.
How much better it is to have q mar
gin of resources than to be living con-
tinually on the ragged edge of nothing
as many of us do just because we are
such devotees Of the god Of appear
ances.
While the high cost Of living is one
Of the live topics Of the day, a note Of
warning should be sounded-a warning
against extravaganza, a suggestion that
every family make deposit in the
savings bank each month. The fu.
ture happiness and prosperity Of the
average American family depend upon
tue proper adjustment Of income and
expenditure. 1t is not what a man
earns, but what he and his family
save, that counts in determining the
ultimate success or failure of his life
from material standpoint.-T. D. Nc
