when most individual Americans have
to repress themselves sternly in or
der not to violate in speech the Pres
ident's order of strict neutrality, the
statement regarding alleged German
brutality sent from Europe to the AS
sociated Press by several American
correspondents
Part of it says: I'm spirit we unite
in rendering German atrocities
groundless as far as we are able to.
After spending two weeks with and
accompanying the troops upward of
one hundred miles, we were unable to
report a single instance unprovoked.
We are also unable to confirm rumors
of mistreatment of prisoners or of
noncom batants with the German col
umns.''

The military authorities decline to
give any indication of the number of
men engaged, but hundred of thou
sands of soldiers are participating on
both sides.
According to those in a position to
obtain authentic information, the cas-
ualties have been so great that the
Germans have requested an armistice
of twenty-four hours The armistice
was refused with the response:

An official communication issued by

Western Kansas world., 1914-09-26

troops out of her territory, and
cooperating with Montenegro,
has begun an invasion of south
ern Austria. Austria appears to
be in really desperate straits,
with Russia pounding at the
north, the Balkan enemies invad-
ing the south, and the flower of
the Austrian army supporting the
German army of French invasion.
Persistent reports of a serious
German repulse at the hands of
the allies defending Paris lend
strength to the statement of the
French and British war offices
that the Germans are not attack
ing with their early vigor and
that the allies have been able to
push them back. 1t is stated un-
officially by Americans arriving
in London from the continent
that the British forces are being
constantly strengthened by fresh
troops from England and that
$4,000 Russians have joined the
allies.
The Germans, too, have
strengthened their forces, and a
great battle throughout the
length of the 120-mile line of con-
fict has begun. If the Germans
succeed now in breaking the op-
position of the smaller allied
army, it appears certain they will
throw their supreme force
against the defenses of Paris and
make one tremendous effort to
take the city.
The vast circling movement,
which the main German army de-
scribed for a week, was admitted
to have been for naught on Sep
tember s, and the reactive move
ment by the allies drove back the
invaders temporarily. The allies

Peace Talk Rumor .
The Chicago Herald, through its
Washington correspondent, John Cal
Ian O'Laughlin, a distinguished jour
nalist, states that Germany, declaring
it has beaten France to it's knees, de-
sires to enter negotiations for the
termination of the great world con-
fiict. In this, according to The Her
aid, Austria, after suffering terrific
defeats at the hands of Russia in Ga
Hcia, and the Servians in the south,
joins Germany.
Oscar Straus, former American am
bassador to Turkey and now American
member of The Hague Tribunal of
Peace, has conferred with President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan on the
subject, says The Herald, and the sec
retary has held special conferences at
his home with the ambassadors of all
the belligerent nations. None of the
men mentioned by The Herald's cor
respondent would give an interview.
There came at the same time as
this announcement from Washington,
an official dispatch from London say
ing that England, Russia and France
have made pact mutually engaging
themselves not to conclude peace sep
arately in the present war, and to
fight until Germany admits defeat.
The pact was drawn up and signed
by the British secretary of foreign af-
fairs, and the French and Russian am
bassadors to Great Britain.

Local Bowlers Are
in Very Bad Repute;
Lebanon Is Sore

Harrisburg bowlerS are in bad re-
pute at Lebanon, according to the
following letter received from Edward
Matthews, manager of the Casino
bowlers at lebanon:
What is the matter with the Har-
risburg bowlers? is question that is
being asked among the lovers of bowl
ing in Lebanon. Is it a case of cold
feet or are they just simply scared,
or simply afraid of losing their repu-
tstion?
"A few weeks ago the Casino team
of Lebanon bowled the Harrisburg
boys on their own alleys with the un-
derstanding that a return game was to
be bowled January 23 at Lebanon. In
the meantime the Harrisburg boys
evidently found out that they were
due for a trimming and decided the
best thing to do was to call the game
off. which they did with the fiimsy ex-
cuse that two of their men were sick,
Notwithstanding the fact that the Leb-
anon team bowled them on their own
alleyslwith only three of their regular
team, yet they take this loophole to
escape the trimming, which they evil
IDENTITY expect to receive.
I'm a telephone conversation held
with the writer they promised to play
on January 80; instead now they come
with another f1imsy excuse that one
of their men has two boils on his
neck. 1t seems to the writer that any
excuse at all just so we can get out OF
bowling the Lebanon boys.
1T surely is not matter of expense
