(By Franklin P. Merrick)

Paris, Oct. 24.-The admission that
German troops in Belgium are MAX
ing progress north of Dixmude and
around La Bassee, in France, is made
in the official statement this after
noon, but it says the allies have made
appreciable progress at East Nieuport,
about Langemarck and between Ar
mentieres and Lille. The Statement.
reads:'
"On our left wing the battle con-
tinues. The enemy has progressed
north of Dixumde and around La Bas-
see. We have advanced very appre-
ciably to the east of Nieuport, in the
region of Langemarck and in the
region between Armentieres and Lille.
These are fluctuations inevitable on
the line of battle, which is maintained
in general. ~
"On the rest of the front there have
been numerous German attacks, both
night and day, which have been re-
pulsed At many points we have adj.
vanced slightly. ~" eA4'l
"In the Woevre region our advance
has continued in the direction of Bois
De Mortmare, south of Thiacourte and
in Bois De Pretre and north of Pont
a Mousson. '&
"In Russia the Germans are re-
treating to the south of Warsaw as
well as west of Ivangorod and from
Nova Alexandria. Sanguinary conflicts 5
continue in Galicia"

the resent primary he yet fell short
of the Republican nomination.
81 am given to understand that
large sums of money are being spent
here, in San Francisco, Sacramento
and elsewhere in the effort to defeat
him in the election. The conspira-
tors are working on the theory that
because so few people realize the inn
portance of the surveyor generals de-
partment they may inadvertently vote
for the so-called Republican nomi-
nee.
81 desire at this time to sound a
warning in this matter, for in my
opinion it will be public calamity
if Surveyor General Kingsbury is not
reelected"

ESHLEMAN TELLS OF
IMPORTANT OFFICE

While the people are asleep GER
tain interests are preparing to again
capture the state surveyor generals
office in Sacramento, according to
Railroad Commissioner John M. Esh-
leman, who is the Republican and
Progressive candidate for lieutenant
governor and who arrived in Los An
geles yesterday in order to tour South
ern California.
Commissioner Eshleman said today:
when / first went to Sacramento,
about twelve years ago, things were
in awful shape in the surveyor gen.
erals office. The Hyden Benson land
ring was practically in control and
Imperial Valley press., 1914-10-24

to overcome this obstacle of inunda-
tion is question, but the allies are
trying to hammer the Germans to
pieces while they still have them at
q disadvantage.
Just now the German guns are able
to reach the Belgian and French
trenches and their fire has resulted
in heavy losses, but so far the Brit
ish naval losses have been negligible,
although one British torpedo boat
was reported put out of action by
the Germans two days ago in state
ment from Berlin.
The Germans are hurrying forward
fresh troops and more heavy guns
to make reply to the damaging fire
from the ships.
Although pushed back at several
points, the Kaiser's forces appear to
be holding their line between the sea
and La Bassee, the extent of the
front in this distinct engagement.
That the German line south of Os-
tend has been cut and that a general
German retreat has set in is another
repor1, while still other dispatches de-
clare that the German general staff
has withdrawn from Client.

Fighting Like Demons.
London, Oct. 24.-The German guns
are stuck in the mud. Upon this
ludicrous situation the allies base their
hope of victory in the great battle
on the northern Belgian coast.
For nearly week now this com
bat has ragged with unabated fury.
Two great armies so nearly equal
in strength that their fronts have
bent and swayed, buckled and warped,
cay in and day out, without either
being able to register decisive VIC
tory, continued their terrific effort.
The Germans, heavily supported by
their monstrous howitzers, are still
on the offensive against the Belgians,
led by their king and supported by
French troops, with British and
French war vessels on the sea and
British monitors in the canals, lend
ing The aid of their long range gun
fire while air scouts direct their
range. @
The battle has resolved itself into
ia duel of the big guns. The allies,
by reason of their long range guns,
have had the advantage up to now
because the Belgians, by opening the
dykes and flooding the country to the
cast of the User canal, upon which the
allied line is established, have made
veritable quagmire of their front
for several miles, utterly running the
roads and converting the fields into
swamps.
For this reason the Germans have
heen unable to bring up their guns
of range equal or superior to those
of the British monitors and battle
ships.

introduction of rebuttal testimony by
States Attorney Graham Chief
counsel for the defendant began sum-

that Mrs. Carman be acquitted and
lit be granted that abe testimony
against her was not strong enough
to warrant any other verdict. Friends
of Mrs. Carman expressed the con-

in the balance today. The courtroom
of Superior Judge Sargent was crowd

for ahe verdict. Kodani is one of the

his attorneys and showing every con-
fidence that leniency would be ex-
tended to him.

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERES The REASON

The fact that there is less dyspepsia
and indig stion in this community
than there used to be is largely, we
balieve, due to the extensive use of

packages of which we have sold. No
wonder we have faith in them. No
wonder we are willing to offer them
to you for trial entirely at our risk.
Among other things, they contain
Pei sin and Bismutb, two of the great
est digestive aids known to medical
science They soothe the inflamed
stomach, allay pain, check heartburn
md distress, help to digest the food,
and tend to quickly restore the stom-
ach to it's natural, comfortable,
healthy state

antee. It means just what it says
