sible to purchase certain collections
which were logically necessary to com
plete and round out the exhibit, they
were borrowed. incidentally the insti-
tuition which loaned them did not take
any chances-they exacted huge bonds
for the safe return of their invalua-
BILE collections. The result is the most
complete and unique exhibit of the
sort ever brought together under one
roof-and a considerable part of it has
never been under a roof before.
To get it all together the Smithson-
ian Institution of Washington has sent
its explorers unto the ends of the
earth-and other places-where they
dug up some of the prehistoric red
men and then dug out before the de-
scendants of said prehistoric red men
could dig in and shoot them full of
poisoned arrows and other souvenirs
The School of American Archaeology
has contributed extensively and has
fallen in with the idea of making the
whole exhibit graphic and comprehen-
sible to an unscientific lowbrow like
me, and another one like you.
And so we may go to school again,
without the Inconvenience of. set hours,
or textbooks or the stern eye of
long suffering teacher; and in few
days, or even hours, of such intense
interest that they pass all too quickly,
we may learn more about our human
history-and remember it-than we
learned in all our school years COM
bined. And then when the youngstel
says: dad, tell me about the Crua-
taceaEs," or "Why was troglodyte?"|
you'll be able to lay down the evening

sortie from the eastern line of forts.
The Russians are reported as having
taken the fortified position of Czysch-

Radymno region.
A dispatch from Petrograd says
that the Russian army is massing
before Cracow and that the next big
battle of the war is on.
Reports of battle between Rus
SLAMS and Germans came by way Of
Copenhagen. The Copenhagen dis
patch said that the Germans were
opposing a Russian army advancing
toward Breslau,' which is the first
real indication that the Russian forces
were near Breslau, in the province of
Silesia.

Positive denial was made at the
War Office in Vienna that the Rus
slams now are before Cracow. In
stead, it is stated, the Austrians are
now on the offensive in Galicia and
they are enthusiastically attacking
the Russians at every point. Heavy
rains have prevented the Austrians
following up their advantage.
Cracow has been occupied by Ger
man troops. The Austrian civil ad-
ministration has been displaced and
the town put under a German mill

administration of the town and all
civil officials of the Austrian Govern
ment have left and the residents are

A report from the French Foreign
Office at Bordeaux, says Dompierre
has been reoccupied by the Allies
while the Germans were said to be
attacking Noyon and Richecourt with
the Allies on the defensive there.
Capture OF Berry Au BAG by the Allies
was also reported.
Heavy losses were inflicted upon
the Germans in retreat to BEAUMONT,
according to the report. The Ger
mans were said to be forced out OF
Lesseux and also the adjacent heavily
wooded country.
The Germans are once more in their
trenches, after giving ground slightly
between the Disc and the Somme.
They lost prisoners, flags and guns
and the spirit Of the allied troops is
as unbroken as their ranks.
Desperate attempts made by the
Germans on the western end of the
long battle to break through the AL
lies forces, engaged in a turning
movement, resulted in the most flu
rious fighting that has taken place
since the beginning Of the campaign.
After fighting without respite night
and day, for As hours, corps after
corps of Germans was hurled against

armies. only to be thrown back.

Speedy Check
on Enjoys Who
Talk Too Much

Washington.-A speedy end to the
series of displeasing interviews given
out by European diplomats since the
beginning of the war was indicated
with the announcement of A. Rustem
Bey, the Turkish Ambassador, one Of
those who have incurred the Presi-
dents displeasure, that he is leaving
in ten days for Constantinople and the
reputation by Baron Won Schoen Of
the German Embassy of the interview
with him published here.
The Rustem Bey interview in ques-
ton contained the statement that the
sending of United States warships
to Turkish waters in connection with
reports of dangers to Christians would
lead to serious situation.
The incident of the offensive inter
view given by Baron Won Schoen on
the relations of the United States and
in which it was stated that
the Japanese regarded war with this
country as inevitable, came to an
abrupt end when the German diplomat
repudiated the interview.

bombs.
One struck the Avenue 2 De Smet
de Mayer bridge, on the outskirts of
the town; another fell in the harbor,
and another on the premises of a
wholesale fish dealer, partly wrecking
the building.
The explosion here made a great
cavity in the ground and badly dam
aged all surrounding houses, extin-
guished street lamps, destroyed cleo
trio wires and created a panic. The
Zeppelin returned toward Thielt,
twelve miles northeast of Courtrai.
From Ostend, as the crow flies, is
only about seventy miles across the
North Sea and the Strait of Dover to
the English coast.

WILD NIGHT ATTACKS
AT ALLIES LEFT

Paris.-The battle in the north, so
far as the German right wing is con-
cerned, has resolved itself entirely in
to night attacks. The day is devoted
solely to duels between the crack ar
tillery of the armies, but during the
night the assaults continue.
These consist of wild rushes in at
tack and counter-attack that have, it
is insisted at headquarters here, re-
suited in continuous ground gaining.
The Paris Matin said that in the
war up to the present time Germany
has lost 100000 men against France,
Russia and Belgium, and that Austria
mas lost 100000 against Russia and
Servia.

100000 Russians
Are Confronted by
100000 Germans
Cassack Force Now Reported Near
Cracow-One of Cars Armies
Follows 1t; Another Moves
Toward Warsaw.

London.-Immense forces of Rus
SLAMS are rapidly nearing the Ger
man frontier on a line of advance
$50 miles wide. London expects
within a week to hear Of a pitched
battle, as vast as that of the Aisne
between 100000 Germans and Aus
TRANS who are concentrating on this
line to save the Kaiser's territory
from 100000 Russians.
Dispatches from Rome, Petrograd
and Amsterdam confirm previous in
timations that all attempts to hold
land until the combats in the West
are decided have failed, and that the
Germans, Withdrawing from Russian
territory, are combining with such
Austrian forces as have escaped cap
ture or disintegration in a final eff
fort to block the Russians from Prus-
STA and Silesia.
The Russian advance is a double
movement. A great army is moving
westward from Warsaw and the south
for the purpose of striking at Posen,
while another army, released from
Galicia by the collapse of Austrian
resistance, is cooperating by an ad-
vance against Cracow.
Belief that the direct Russian ad-
vance against Germany is rapidly
progressing is partially confirmed by
an announcement of the Breslau Ga
zette that the military authorities
there have cut all telegraphic COM
between Breslau, Posen,
Oppeln and Liebnitz. This would in
dictate the approach of the Russian
armies. There were rumors that Cos
sacks have been seen a few miles
east of Breslau.

Paris.-The Government report con-
fianking movement is vigorous in
spite of increased German resistance,
and that the severest fighting is now
with the bayonet. Germans and Al
lies have been struggling back and
forth over the same ground and the
loss of life is frightful. The Allies
centre holds, while the right strives
to clinch victory.
Furious bayonet charges by the
German right center in the region of
the Craonne forests and a deserate
battle in the Somme district, north of
the Disc, were features.
The attempt of the Anglo-French
force in the Somme region to turn
General Won Kluck's right and sever
his line of communications with Bel
GUM failed, and, on the others hand,
the Germans evidently rendered con.
fident by their recent reinforcements,
took the offensive northwest of St
Quentin and captured the city of Ba-
paume. The Allies brought up more
troops, however, and started another
struggle for the possession of the
town.
To the north and east of Rheims the
Germans, under Generals Won Buelow
and Won Elinem, made a vigorous at
tempt to resume the offensive and
cut the French line.
Along the Meuse, the French forts
south of Verdun were silenced and
the army of Prince Rrprecht of Ba
varia clinched its hold upon a line
running from st. Mihiel northwest o.
Toul
All these reports are based on the
more or less conflicting statements
from the German and French Wal
Offices.

A majority of the wounded come

PARIS CONTENDS ALLIESHA
STEMMED FOES ONSLAUGHTS

London While the censorship is
more strict than at any time since
the opening of hostilities. it is ex'
planned that there are certain evil
dences, especially on the extreme
left, that the Germans are weakening.
The Allies have been heavily re-
enforced and are subjecting the forces
OF Won Boehm and Won Kluck TO stern
pressure along the line from scissors
north TO Mons.
In this connection report tele-
graphed from Ostend that Mons had
been set on fire, created sensation
here. 1t is at Mons that Gen. Won
Boehm established his headquarters
when he started south from Brussels
with the main army that was operat-
ing in Belgium 1t was also Won
Kluck's base of supplies.
Won Boehm's army was assigned
TO prevent Won Kluck being outflank-
ed by the French army, operating
from the northwest where ii had
been gathered to support a new Brit
ish force. 1t means that the British
French armies are in strong forces
and have raided the German COM
munications far north of the point,
where up to the present any fighting
has been reported.
The prolongation of the tension on
HE two long lines of fire and death
h.
become insupportable to the Germans,
since reports indicate that they have
changed their tactics and attacked
with the bayonet. General Joffre has
succeeded in pushing his lines inside
the range of the deadly heavy German
guns forced the enemy to hand-to-hand
fighting.
The losses of the last few days on
other engagements of the war. Stories
have reached here from Belgium that
the Germans, unable to bury their
dead on the field. have shipped them
behind the army by trainloads in or
der to avoid epidemics.
Belgian troops have cut the Ger
man line of communication between
Mons and Brussels by blowing up
the railroad, according to an Ostend |
report. Another Belgian force des- |
troyed troop and supply train near
Hasselt
The official statement from the |
British War Office is more laconic
than ever. 1t sums up the situation
in these brief words
"The situation is satisfactory and .
the counter attacks on the British
front have been beaten back with !
eavy losses to the enemy"
New German troops have appeared |
opposite the Allies left. Despite
these reinforcements the work of |
crushing the army of General Won
kluck is proceeding. The losses OF |
the last three days are declared to
exceed those of any previous fight |
ing since the war began.
The heaviest offensive movement of
the Germans has been against that
part of the battle line between Rheims |
and Souain, where the Prussian |
Guard, heavily reinforced, attempted
to break down the French resistance.
It was driven back by counter at
tack by French infantry, supported |
by Turcos. Later the attack succeed |
ed, the French falling back some dis
lance, only to regain their lost ground
by a series of spectacular bayonet
charges.
