THREE MILLIONS
ON BATTLE LINE
TeutOn Allies and Russians En-
gagged In Titanic Struggle.
POLAND AND GAuCIA THE SCENE

Battle Front Extends From Warsaw
to Przemysl and Farther to the
South to the River Dniester-Rus-
slams Forced TO EVaeuate Lemberg,
Recently Captured From the Aus
trians-operation In Eastern Zone.
London, Oct. 15.-A new and pow
erful offensive movement by the Ger
mans and Austrians in the central
and southern zones of the eastern
battle line is on An official dispatch
Issued by the Russian general staff
says: "a battle has been begun on a
line extending from the country
around Warsaw, Poland, along the
rivers Vistula and San to Przemysl,
Galicia, and farther to the south to
the river Dniester." From other
sources it is learned that 100000
troops are engaged on both sides.
There is reason to believe that the
Germans, instead of being driven
back to a line of defense from Thorn
to Cracow, are actually advancing in
great force in central Poland and are
virtually at the gate of Warsaw. The
Austrian general staff asserts that
the Russians have been forced to
evacuate Lemberg, the capital Of Ga
licia, and the base of operations in
that province. A further announce
ment Of the Austrian general staff is
that the Austrians entirely recovered
from recent defeats, have retaken the
country west and south of Przemysl
and are driving the Russians in all
directions. On the other hand, the
Russian general staff informs the
world that the siege Of Przemysl is
being pressed with great vigor.
There is a report that the Austrian
armies are mutinous because they
have been forced to take orders from
German generals, and that protests
have gone from the Austrian COM
manders to Emperor Francis Joseph.
The Russian general staff issued
the following communication "On the
left bank of the Vistula, along the
roads leading from Warsaw to Ivan
gorod. our troops on Oct. 10 success
fully pressed back the German forces.
One of our regiments captured two
German companies. Fighting con-
tinues to the south of Przemysl."

REVIEW OF THE EUROPEAN CONFLICT

Monday, oct y, the opening of the
eleventh week Of the war, found Ger
many more than holding all the ad-
vantages she has gained in both the
western and eastern theaters of war
The Germans still hold the strong po-
sitions to which they retired along
the Aisne and the capture Of Antwerp
ras greatly strengthened their lines
both in Belgium and France. In the
eastern theater Of hostilities, the Ger
mans have penetrated Poland as far
as the Vistula, and while the Russian
government has laid claim to impor-
tant victories in the Suwalld district,
when the history of the war is writ
ten it probably will be found that
these successes did not mean so
much as the Russian general staff has
tried to make out. An unprejudiced
survey of the situation can not but
see an advantage for Germany so rar
as the war has gone Belgium is pros
trate and Germany is still the invader
both in France and Russia.
French war Office on Oct 13 an
nounced that Lille, in northern
France. had been captured by the
Germans. The fighting has centered
about Lille for nearly two weeks. The
admission by the French that it has
been lost indicates that the Germans
are gaining in their counter fianlIing
movement against the allies left wing
and that the kaisers troops will now
sweep quickly to the coast. To on
set the loss Of Lille, the French claim
they have gained ground between Ar
ras and Albert, southwest Of Lille,
and also at the center Of the battle
front in the region of Berry-Au-Bac.
German operations in northwestern
Relgium are being prosecuted with
great vigor. Ghent has fallen into the
hands Of the Germans, leaving only
Bruges and Ostend in possession oi
the allies
The Belgian government, following
the fall Of Antwerp and the threat
ened attack on Ostend has been
transferred to Havre, France. Kins
Albert remains at the head of the Bel
gian army.

ANTWERP PAYS WAR TAX
Destruction Wrought by 5ombard-
ment Comparatively Small.

Rotterdam, Oct. 12.-The mayor Of
Antwerp and a few of the inhabitants
were the only persons who remained
in the city to await the Germans. The
mayor went to meet a deputation Of
Germans which had been sent to state
the conditions of surrender. The Ger
mans agreed that males between the
ages of Is and 30 should not be put
under restraint and that the civil
guard should not be made prisoners
of war. A war tax of S125,000 was
demanded. Baron Won Der Schuetz
was appointed governor and he has
already announced that all the inhab-
itants are at liberty to return to their
homes The destruction wrought by
the bombardment Of Antwerp, except
in the district Of which the South sta
tion is the center, is comparatively
small.

SWINE-BREEDER'S
VIEW OF SITUATION

Let us realize the day and hour. Let
us note what time it is. An epoch has
passed. A new one has begun. A new
era dates from the day war was declared
in Europe. Which is very bad business.
Be thankful for President Wilson, a man
of kind heart and a man of feeling. The
air is surcharged with the talk of strife,
about the opportunity of the American
farmer and manufacturer to capture the
world S trade-sell to the world, be the
great producer of the world and ship it
in the bottoms of our merchant marine.
The opportunity exists. The need of
actual requirements must be supplied.
The manufacturer of Europe is demor-
allied. The operators are off to the war
and being killed. All South America
hungers for merchandise. Africa and
Australia demand it. The Orient
needs it.
What does this suggest to you?
Yes, the same thing is true of the far
rowing pens, the sheep fold, the cattle
barns. The keepers of Europe are off to
the front and the killers. The Eastern
countries are devastated. Flocks and
herds and breeds are being slaughtered
to feed the hungry soldiers. Meat is
meat to a hungry army, no matter what
the pedigree reads.
An American bred runner, worth
$50, 600, sold by an American breeder
and shipped to a Frenchman two years
ago, was taken by the French army just
the same as a 800 geld1ng, and went off
to war, probably not even an officer rid
ing him. The valuable horses are dis
patched by the same rain of bullets as
the cheap ones.
Where in Belgium would you find
stallion or mare not commandeered by
the army or captured by the foee What
of France, the home of the noble Per-
cheron and French Norman horse, the
best of the world2
Breeders of America, opportunity
now knocks at your door For years our
flocks and herds have been enriched by
this imported blood from over the waters.
But this now past, for decade to come.
Take care of the good stock, and save
all of your good feed This stock is well
worth good price now, but il win be
better next summea. ADAM ALT.

SHOOT TWENTY-FIVE MILES
New German Guns Destined For Use
at Channel Ports.

Amsterdam, Oct 14-Reports are
current in Berlin that the Krupps
have completed some enormously
heavy guns of caliber and range
never before attempted, and that
large feet of Zeppelins, according to
some reports numbering eighty or
more, is being collected near Kiel,
awaiting a favorable opportunity to
sail for England, according to the
statement of a British newspaper man
who has just returned from Berlin to
Amsterdam. German artillery officers
say the new Krupp guns have range
of about twenty-five miles and prob
ably are destined for use at some
channel port. The aeroplane factories
in Germany are working day and
night supplying machines, and 200
aviators are qualifying for military
service every week.

ALLIES CLAIMING

Germans Fall TO Work Around

SHARP ENGAGEMENTS FOUGHT

kaiser's Forces Meeting With Stub
born Resistance In Their Efforts TO
Extend the Right Wing Of Their
Main Army - ostend and Other
North Belgium Points Believed In
Hands Of the Germans.
London, Oct. 15.-While II is fully
expected the Germans will occupy
ostend and other ports in the north
west of Belgium, II they have not
done so already, they will meet a
stubborn resistance in their attempt
to extend the right wing Of their main
army through Pas de Calais to the
French northern ports. In fact they
have fallen back in this region In the
face OF the allies offensive
The official press bureau issued the
following statement: British troops
have been engaged with the enemy to-
wards the left of the allied line Tin
France) with the result that the Ger
mans have been pressed back on their
flank. The nature Of the country in
which the fighting has been conduct
ed, being a mining center, makes
rapid progress difficult"
A few days ago the German cavalry
were fighting as far west as Hazel
brouck and Cassel, but, according to
the French official communication
the front of this battle extends from
La Bassee through Estaires to Bail
leul on the Belgian frontier, while
across the border the allies have oc-
cupied Ypres. This is a distinct gain
for the allies and shows that the Ger
man attempt to work around their
left has failed, the German right be-
ing bent back toward Lille and Cour-
tai both of which places the invad-
ers hold with strong forces.
II is here the heavy blows which
both sides hope will bring about a de-
cisive result in the long drawn out
battle will be struck. It is for this
reason that the Germans will be able
TO make their way to Ostend, although
even there troops have been left to
inflict what damage they can before
Joining the larger body farther south.
OF the recent fighting elsewhere,
the French communication simply
says that the operations are proceed
ing normally on the left wing as far
as the Oise, that the allies progress
in the Berry-Au-Bac region is con-
frmed and that on the right wing
there is nothing new.

WAS A GERMAN SPY
Commander of an Antwerp Fortress
Shot to Death.

London, Oct. 13.-Five thousand
British marines who aided in the de-
fense of Antwerp have returned, and
from many of them q it was learned
that the commander of one Of the for
tresses was a German spy. The Bel
gians shot him and four of his staff
officers. The marines say that the
work Of defense was greatly ham
pered by spies, who were everywhere.
The escape of the marines is consid-
cred a miracle.
Wireless dispatches from Berlin re-
late two achievements which won the
iron cross. Count Won Beroldingen,
whose mother was an American,
donned the overcoat of British Off
Ger and, representing himself as an
English adjutant, went to the French
lines. He spoke perfect English and
he asked for and obtained informa-
ton, which enabled the Germans to
attack successfully. The other
achievement was similar.
