. kAlsER,s RIGHT BLOCKED.

LOndon.-AttemptS by the reinforced
German army to continue it's march
down the coast from Ostend to Dun
kirk were foiled by Belgian troops
on the banks of the River Yer, ten
miles east of the French border and
about 20 miles from Dunkirk, accord
ing to statement by the French War
Office. King Albert and his remnant
of an army now form the extreme left
of the Allies 350-mile front reaching
from the North Sea in slightly curv-
ed line to the Vosges. They repulsed
the Germans in several hot clashes.
In the Bassee region, the Allies re-
port steady gains, their latest big
feat being the recapture of the i'm
portant railroad town of Armentieres,
10 miles northwest of Lille.
Near st. Die, in the French Vosges,
two attacks by the Germans are re-
ported repulsed..
War news from Germany is to the
effect that the French fortress of Bel
fort. is invested and that there is no
important development anywhere else
in France.
The Kaiser is still rushing troops
forward to try to break through the
line defending Dunkirk, and the Allies
are likely to have their hands full d.
rectly, according to the following wire
from the Flushing correspondent of
the London Weekly Dispatch: '"The
Germans have levied a fine on Ostend
of $1,OOO,0O0. At an early hour great
forces of Germans began to pass
through Ostend. The artillery COM
prised about 400 guns, with 10000 in
fantry and force of cavalry. More
guns arrived at noon. There are in
dications that strong movement is
to be directed against Dunkirk."
The German War Office, in an off,
cial statement; says that the number
of Belgian soldiers who have fed to
Holland and who are now interned
there is 10000.
The semi-official Cologne Gazette"
says that the Germans are investing
the strong fortress Of Belfort, which
forms the most southerly point of the
French eastern fortified line. 1t says
also that already heavy siege mortars
have been mounted and that the Ger
mans are making steady but necessari-
ly very slow progress.
Russians and Germans and Aus
TRANS are still at grips along a 400
mile line reaching from near the
Baltic to the Carpathian Mountains,
with the heaviest fighting between
Warsaw and the Galician border, ac-
cording to cables from Petrograd, Ber-
lin and Vienna.
Cholera is assuming alarming pro-
portions in Galicia and Hungary and
is increasing very rapidly, 10000 new
cases being reported at Kashau, most
ly among soldiers. Half of the cases
are reported to be fatal after few
hours. The authorities are powerless
to combat the epidemic and are now
adopting sanitary cordons. The Rus
SLAMS gave up the invasion of Hun
gary so as not to expose their troops to
contagion.
The Vienna "Zeit" blames the Aus
trian Government for neglect Of the
elementary sanitary precautions in
combating the cholera which is threat
ening greater mortality than the war,
besides gripping the army. The news
paper praises the system now adopt
ed of concentrating cholera patients
in Hungary, where they can be- most
completely isolated.

British Celebrate
Big Naval Victory
Sinking Of Four Destroyers in North
Sea Hailed With Joy-survivor of
Hawke, Sunk by kaiser's Sub.
marine, Arrive at christiania.

London.-All England is jubilant
over the naval victory in the North
Sea, when the British cruiser I'm
caunted, assisted by four torpedoboat
destroyers, attacked and sank four
German destroyers The news of
the Undaunted's victory was received
throughout all of Great Britain with
great rejoicing, especially at Harwich,
the port from which the cruiser sailed
only few hours before she met and
defeated the German warcraft.
1t is understood here that the en-
gagement with the German craft oc-
CURED near the mouth of the Scheldt.
No details have as yet been received
as to the German losses, but it is
known they are heavy.
An official announcement from Ber-
lin, transmitted to the Reuter- Tele-
gram Company from Amsterdam. says
that the German torpedo boat de-
stroyers S115, SLIT, Sis and S119
met the British cruiser Undaunted
and four destroyers close to the
Dutch coast, and according to British
official news, the German destroyers
were sunk and thirty-one of the crew
landed in England.
This announcement, is signed by
Behnicke. department chief of the
naval headquarters staff.
The steamship Modesto, which
picked up forty-eight survivors of the
British cruiser Hawke, sunk in the
North Sea last Thursday by German
submarine, arrived in Christiania,
says a dispach from the Copenhagen
correspondent of Reuters Telegram
Company. The Modesto picked up the
survivors from small boat five hours
after the disaster, and later trans
ferred them to an English trawler
off the Scottish coast
THE RUSSO-GERMAN CAMPAIGN.
The Hague.-The main armies of
the contending forces, the Russians
on one side and the Austrians and
Germans on the other, are in close
touch over an immense front which
evidently will gradually extend from
the Baltic to the Carpathians. In
spite of the claims of victory here
and defeat there by one side or the
other, there is reason to believe that,
generally speaking, the fighting so far
has been confined to cavalry engage
ments, and that general action has
not yet begun.
Although the Germans were report
ed to have been driven back 80 miles
from Warsaw, a later report from
Petrograd tells of desperate fighting
but eight miles from the Polish cap
ital. Nevertheless, the Russians War
Office insists the German advance has
been checked. The Russians claim
to have cut the German center and
&c have taken 10000 prisoners, with
several cannon.

Right in the heart of what is known

best examples of how an exhausted
wheat farm can be transformed into
an exceedingly profitable dairy farm.
No doubt the facts as related here
have been brought out in other states

example for the man who robs the

Question: | have herd of II milk
COWS, and | am feeding hay, shorts

for their feed. We will now have

I would like to have you suggest how

Answer: You do not state what
kind of hay you are feeding, and
therefore it would be impossible 10
say whether or not you are feeding
properly The fact that your COWS
are not doing we'll leads me to think
that perhaps they are of the low pro-
ducing kind. But in order to give
them the best chance, suggest that
after you have them on grass, you give
