Everybody Is Still Claiming VIC
tory In The Eastern and
Western Battle6eIdS.
ALLIES SEEN TO Be GAINING
No Doubt That The Russians
are More Than HOLDING
Their Own.

London, Oct. THE sixty-third
day of the great European war saw
a repetition of what the peoples Of
all the countries concerned have
forced themselves to expect, perhaps
for months to come-no decisive con-
flict on land or sea.
From Berlin to London came MOTH
ing in the way of German claims to
progress or reverse. From Petro--
grad came what has flowed without
interruption for wee s-consistent
claims of progress for Russian arms
From Paris, at the usual mid-after-
noon hour, was issued the usual COM
munication, so-called, interpreting
the situation along the battle line Of
the western theater of war In the
light Of those opposing the German
invasion. There were in the closely
worded statement, cryptic to an eE-
tent as always, hints of a greater d.
vers ty Of operations than it ordina
riIy contains.
From Belgium comes nothing to
indicate any change in the situation
before Antwerp except a brief line
tucked at the bottom of the Paris
official statement asserting that the
German attacks along the line Of the
river Rupel and the river Nethe have
failed.
The British press takes occasion.
to emphasize that, while the battle
of the Aisne holds first claim iu the
matter of sentimental interest, the
gigantic operations of the Russian,
German and Austrian armies in the
east may bring the solution of the
war fl st.
Petrograd official statements con-
thue to repeat in a general way
what has been accepted here as a fact
for days-that the German army
along the East Prussian frontier has
been routed more or less and cut to
pieces -but as this is only a small
portion of the front, it is exceeding
ly hard to get anything like a clear
cut perspective of the conflict.
What purports to be an official dis
patch from Vienna insists in broad
terms that the condition of the Ger
man and Austrian armies, both in
Poland and Gaicia, is favorable, and
that in attempting to breast the Car
pathians at UzsoS Pass, the Russians
have been beaten.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE

A young farmer named Ethan Suss-

used as a hospital for Union soldiers.
Those having daughters to educate,
were anxious to have the school re-

pills, just to get the work started.

teachers loved to have her come to

The French soldiers were greatly
surprised Sunday to see their British
comrades after the long spell in the
trenches retire to some distance in
the rear and initiate several footballs
and begin lively games. Some of the
British battalions had lost large
proportion of their numbers in the
severe battles of last week, but the
zest of the men for the sport was
unabated.

Saltillo, Mexico, June 11.-Fighting
continued today at Zacatecas, where
General Natera began an assault with
10000 troops early yesterday morn
ing. General Natera has drawn a
close line around town and is deter
mined that he will not allow the feder-
al garrison under General Barron to
escape. No detail of the casualties
of the present battle has been received
here General Carranza has issued an
order to obviate the confusion caused
by the refusal of persons in some
states to accept as legal tender mon
ey issued in other states
The order provides that money is
sued in any state shall be accepted
in every other state under the consti-
tutional control. General Villa, real
governor OF the state of Nuevo Leon,
has issued an order in Monterey that
no one should be allowed to hold corn
for high prices or store it and also
that no larger price than five cents
a liter shall be charged for it. 1t is
believed that this order will have the
effect of relieving the food scarcity in

tractive possibilities. For several days
many battles were lost and won on
these Heights of Abraham, just above
the heads of a needless, rushing
stream of humanity below. Many a
topknot lost it's prize feathers and
many shove into space required quick
action of the wings to avert precipi-
