That the services of our flying

snown by the following message from
the commander-in-chief of the French
army received September 8 by Field

daily average of more than nine recon

Russian Advance Continues

The dispatch from Petrograd is as
follows:
This official communication was

day:
1T is necessary to turn attention
to the theater. of war in Galicia, where

have been prevented from placing a
sufficient force in eastern Prussia to
continue the invasion so happily be

that the army under General Rennen-

east of Koenigsberg) to Libau
German troops on September 8
took up general offensive move
ment against this army, executing ad-
vance movements toward our south
ern frontier. 1t is difficult on ac-
count of the geographical obstruction
in this immediate territory to know
exactly how many of the enemy were
engaged. 1t was not until September
10, when the great attack on the left
wing of General Rennenkampfs army
was made that the numerical strength
of the army was revealed. They were
found to be much superior to our
forces. 1t is along this line that the

this end reinforcements were hurried
north to the Meuax district and to
Ourcq, and tremendous efforts we're
made to break the French resistance
in this quarter, for Meaux is to Paris
as Reading to London, The second at
tempt on the Ourcq shared the fate
of the first. Through all night and
well on to Tuesday the German guns
doomed along this river, the resist
ance of the allies could not be broken.
Hold, was the command and every
man braced himself to obey. While
the Ourcq was being held the strug-
gle of Sezanne was bearing splendid
fruit. The German resistance on this
Thursday morning was broken.

astound the world when made known

tachments of 1000 men each were
surrounded and cornered, but upon

JOURNAL FIRES BROAD
SIDE

In what it apparently believes to be
the broadsile of the campaign, the AL
buquerque Morning Journal of yester-
day declares that B. C. Hernandez, re-
publican candidate for congressman
from New Mexico, when treasurer Of
Rio Arriba county marked as paid
SS23.09 in taxes when they were not
paid. Continuing the Journal says:
"Mr. Hernandez admitted these and
other shortages aggregating $1,1SS09
and paid the same into the treasury
after demand had been made upon
him by the travelling auditor"
The facts are these:
In the office of the treasurer of
Rio Arriba county a mistake in book
keeping was made bv one Of the dep
uties. When it was discovered by
Mr.. Hernandez he ordered it correct

pied by London in the British Isles.

would fall near the German-Russian
boundary on the Baltic Sea. Las We

battle before Paris.
When it is seen that one great
American railroad system would be
able to transfer troops for all the
armies engaged in the European war,
one realizes the extent and greatness
of the United States. And he cannot
help being impressed, too, with the
greatness of the Santa Fe system.
Doubtless the road is thankful that
It is located where it is, and not in
Europe, as it probably gets all the ex-

the democratic campaign committee
