---ON--
European War

The Hague.-The present attitude
of Germany forwards England, France
and Russia is described in an editor
ial of the Berliner Tagebiatt of Sep
TENDER IA. which after admitting that
the German advances in the west had
been checked, while considerable vic
tories for the German arms have been
obtained in the eastern theatre of war,
says:
Europe is to be compared to the
back of cornered boar from whose
sides the blood is streaming. We hard
ly speak of those of us who in the Ger
man colonies and in Kiao-chaw are
calling for help. We think of them,
but do not speak of them.
The English and French newspap-
ers have recently said that the resolu-
ton of the powers of the triple entente
not to make peace without consulting
one another, had made a painful i'm
preston in Germany. We hope that
this understanding between Messrs.
Grey. Poincare and Iswolsky surprised
nobody here. Those who think calmly
knew this before the first cannon shot
was fired. But this formal assurance
was merely made to show us the fulfil
ity of this war and our successes in
France.

are that the declaration was also in

This Anglo-French-Russia declara-
ton writes the Petit Partisan finds a
justified echo throughout the allied
countries. II will bring the pessimists
TO silence, who already are shaking
their heads and whose fears are an in
suit to Russian stamina. French endur-
ance and English loyalty. The Petit

OLSON THE NEXT
STATESECRETARY
Reported That Moline Former
Mayor May Be Sue
cessor to Woods.
RAN FOR THE NOMINATION
Believed to Have Strongest Claim Up
OF Place From Standpoint of
Party Service.

1t is entirely possibly that An
drew Olson of this city. former mayor
and now candidate on the democratic
ticket for state senator from the Thir-
ty-third district, will be the successor
20 Harry Woods, secretary of state,
who committed suicide. as stated by
today's Geographic dispatches. The
vacancy will be filled by appointment
Ly the governor.
Mr.. Olson could not be found today,
but IL is declared that his friends will
urge his claims TO consideration. He
was a candidate at the primary cleo
ton in 1912. when Woods was the
choice as democratic nominee. Should
Governor Dunno name him to succeed
Woods he would be compelled to WITH
draw from the senatorial race.
WouId Be Strong Candidate.
Even though it should be shown that
q special election is necessary to fill
the Office the Moline man would like
" have a clear field as the democratic
CO ndidate should he be backed by the
administration forces. This support
would necessarily go with a temporary
to the Office.
Friends of Mr.. Olson declare that
his claims are entitled to greater con-
than those of any other DEM
ocrat in Illinois whose candidacy might
be advanced.

In n regular storm Of bullets on the
order Of the major. These gentlemen,
the officers, send their men forward
In n most ridiculous way. They them
selves remain far behind safely under
cover. Our leadership Is really scan
dalous. Enormous losses on our side
arc partly from the fire of our own
people, for our leaders neither know
where the enemy lies nor whore our
fired on by our own men. IL Ia .
marvel to me that we have got on as
far as we have done.
Our Captain fell, as did also all
our section leaders and q large num-
Der OF our men. Moreover, no pur-
pose was served by this advance, for
We remained the rest OF tho day un-
der cover. We could 60 neither for
