TEUT0N LOSSES HEAVY
Kaiser's Forces Suffer Casual
ties Placed at 10000.

London, Oct. 6.-The defeat of the
German army which invaded Russia
from East Prussia appears from Rus
sian accounts to have been even more
decisive than previously reported.
According to the Russian ambassa-
dor at Rome the Germans were COM
pletely routed with loss of 10000
men and have been forced to abandon
everything.
The Russians now are moving for
ward with the object of invading East
Prussia again. This victory, if it is
as complete as reported, is of the
greatest Importance to the Russians.
as it will prevent the Germans from
undertaking land and sea operations
which would have compelled Russia
to turn at least part of it's attention
in this direction.
General Rennenkampf apparently
drove a wedge between the two Ger
man forces which were advancing
upon Draskeniki and Ossowetz and
brought about the battle of Augstowo,
which resulted in a Russian victory.
If the Germans have not already re-
tired from the left bank of the Me
men river at Druskenilsi their defeat
at Augstowo must compel them to do
So The moral effect Of another in
vasion of East Prussia will also be Of
Importance.
No Tidings From Galicia.
No news has been received from
the Silesian and Galician battlefeldS
and probably the main armies have
not come together there. A big bat
tie cannot be delayed much longer.
however, as on the Silesian frontier
both armies are moving forward and
will meet in Russian Poland.
Before the Russian advance in Ga
licia the peasants are fleeing the coun-
try and it is reported that 10000 Of
them have reached Bohemia.
The sanitary department Of Vienna
era have occurred among the troops
returning from Galicia, but that all
have been isolated.
At Antwerp, the official report says,
the situation in the fortified positions
remains unchanged.
Fighting continues also in the near
east and the Angle-French fleet has
succeeded in destroying Lustican,
outer defense of the Austrian seaport
Of Cattaro.
While the Servians and Montene-
grins are attacking the outer fortifica-
tons of Sarajevo, Belgrade, which has
been under fire so often, has not
been bombarded for several days.
probably as result of the reoccupa-
ton of Semlin by the Servians.

cial communication was issued by the
French war Office:
"The general situation is station.
airy. On our left wing the action still
continues.
'In the region of the Argonne and
on the heights of the Meuse we have
repulsed night and day attacks.
Grand Duke Nicholas has adj
dressed to the ministry of war, to be

London, Oct. s-An official investi-
CATION is being made regarding the
movements of number of vessels
which left American ports carrying
coal, presumably bound for ports
which have not been reached.
While there is no disposition on the
part Of the British government to
question the efforts of the American
government to prevent the coaling of
German warships by vessels from
American ports it is explained that
every effort is being exerted to fore
stall repetition of the coaling of
the German cruiser Karlsruhe.

Loss of Appetite.

Is the first signal of disorder and. de-
cay. The usual loss of appetite is
often caused by functional disturban-
ces in the stomach. The stomach. fails
to do the work required, the appetite
is gone, and the body suffers from lack
of nourishment. Such stomach needs
to be cleaned and sweetened. Meritol
Tonic Digestive is made especially to
assist the stomach to digest food, and
promote a healthy appetite. This
remedy is sold on our positive guaran
tee, and we ask you to give it a trial.

German General Re-
pulses Allies.
AND PARIS
APPEAR CONFIDENT
Belief Prevails Enye|oping Move
ment win Succeed.

London, Oct. General Won Kluck,
reinforced with troops from the Ger.
man center, continues to make de-
termined stand against the attempt
Of the allies to outfiank him.
The French, who officially reported
Sunday that all German attacks in
this region had been repulsed and
that the allies had resumed the Of
fensive, announced that the battle to
the north of the Disc, which com.
menaced seriously about Sept 25, con-
tinues with great violence, with no
decisive result, and that at certain
points the French troops have had to
yield ground.
The Germans, in their report, say
the battle is proceeding successfully
for them. Both in London and in Paris
there is the greatest confidence, al
though some surprise is displayed at
the success of the Germans in pre-
venting the outfianking movement.
There is feeling. however, that the
Germans cannot extend their line
much further north without weakening
at some point.
Along the rest of the line the French
communication says there has been
no change. Therefore the progress in
the regions of scissors and Woevre
reported Saturday night either has
satisfied them for the moment, or they
have been checked by the Germans.
Of the fighting here, as on their
right, the German report says it is
proceeding favorably for the German
armies.
Progress by either side must be ex-
tremely slow, for after every advance,
no matter how slight, the troops max
ing it must entrench themselves for
protection against the shells from the
enemy's guns posted in strong posi-
tons from one end Of the line to the
other.

German Envoy Calls
on Bryan.
GIVEN TREATY COPIES
Arbitration Pact May Be Nego-
tiated. With Germany.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The call OF
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, at the state department
where he conferred for half an hour
with Secretary Bryan, aroused much
speculation in diplomatic circles here
as to the possibility that further eff.
forts have been set in motion by the
administration, Indirectly at least, to
bring about peace in Europe.
Neither the secretary nor the am.
bassador would discuss the purpose
of the visit, though it is known that
the diplomat made special trip from
New York in response to telegraphic
request sent by Mr.. Bryan.
He left the secretary's room bur
dened with copies of peace commits.
sion treaties negotiated by Mr.. Bryan
with various countries and is under
stood to have been asked to forward
these to Berlin promptly.
The treaties are typical Of all the
peace conventions upon which Mr..
Bryan has been at work, although
they differ somewhat in detail.
Regarded as Significant.
1t was regarded here as significant
that Secretary Bryan should under
take negotiations looking to the in
clusion of Germany among the nations
with whom the United States has
made peace conventions at this time,
when that country is engaged in war.
Such treaty would commit the
German government to a recognition
of dealing with International issues by
peaceful means, it was pointed out.
and the suggestion was not lacking
that an underlying motive for the ad-
ministraticn's effort might be the de.
sire to smooth the way at this mo-
ment for the conference that in the
end must terminate the war in Eu-
rope.
Negotiations of similar nature al
ready have been opened with Japan.
1t was argued here that should both
Japan and Germany sign peace trea-
ties with the United States, joining
the great array of powers already
bound by such agreements, the way
would be opened for the next step, an
invitation to these powers to regard
peace treaties originally negotiated
between each of them and the United
States, as binding upon them general
ly with respect to each other.

mitted that a very great many Of the
peerages created are given in cOnsid-
Grafton Of money donated to the party
campaign funds. Every political party
in the history Of Britain has made a
practice Of selling peerages to recoup
their war chests.
Both Parties Agreed.
Thus 1t will be seen that both great
parties in England are agreed that the
house Of lords shall be reformed. Here
the agreement ends. The method and
character of the reform are a con-
troVerslal question, provocative OF as
much bitterness as the Irish question
itself
The Conservative party has very gen
orally approved Of the plan suggested
by lord Rosebery, himself a former
Liberal prime minister. Lord ROsebery's
plan contemplates the RECOGNITION of
any peer a seat in the house of lords
solely because Of his inheritance.
It is hardly necessary to saw that
although lord Rosebery was once A
Liberal prime minister his Dropositions
received little support from the Liberal
party 1t would be much the same
as If representative of the Cleveland
school OF Democracy attempted to die
tate or shape the policies of the BRYAN
school Of that party.
Irish Question First.
It is practically certain that no de-
termination Of this vexatious question
is possible until the Irish bogey is re-
moved from British politics and until
one or both Of the parties decide what
will be their future policy with resUect
