TWO ATTEMPTS TO
burn EXCHANGE
Unknown Woman Had Warned That
Something big Would Happen
Soon"

Council Bluffs, Ia, Sept. 4.-Fol-
lowing mysterious warnings by a
woman, two desperate attempts
were made last night to burn the
central telephone exchange of this
city.
For days some woman has been
calling subscribers telling them
something big is to happen in the
telephone Office soon." The manager
knew of the warnings and had set
traps, without success.
The two fires last night created
much excitement. The last fire was
blazing fiercely in the girls rest
room when discovered.
The girl operators remained at
their posts until ordered away.

RECORD OTHERWISE IS FINE

Des Moines, Sept. 4.-Iowas six
ty-first annual fair and exposition
regarded by those who attended il
as the greatest in the history of the
state closed at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, following the automobile
races.
Financially, the 1915 fair was not
a success. Figures compiled by the
management last night show a de-
crease of 25,O96 in the attendance
and loss Of $23,S64.95 in receipts
as compared with 1914.
1t is estimated by the manage
ment that the fair this year will
cost approximately $17O,5OO. The
deficit will not be $12,219.69 as the
figures would indicate because of adj
ditional money that is yet to be paid
into the treasury. The fair officials
estimate the deficit at a figure not
greater than $1,000, but it will be
several days before any definite fig
ures will be available.
At 1880 o'clock last night, the
members of the fair board held a
meeting in President C. E. Gamer
on's office at the administration
to pass upon the payrolls
and various other routine matters.
The members said there was no dis
cussion regarding plans for future
fairs. This subject will be taken up
at the annual meeting of the board !
in December.
The decrease in the attendance
this year is attributed by the man
agement largely to the wet season |
that preceded the fair which SER
iously has retarded the crops of Iowa
farmers.
Rain marred the fair on Saturday
and cold weather Sunday and Mon
day cut down the attendance. AS a
whole, however, the management
has no great fault to find with the
weather during the fair.
The principal events yesterday at
the fair were the awarding of the
baby prizes in the morning and the
races and aerial flights
by Aviator Art Smith in the after
loon. Disbrow in Briscoe car won
he twenty-five mile grind.

RUSSIANS FACING
A new PERIL
Germans Aim Smash at Critical
Point in Slav Line.

London, Sept. 4.-The Germans
yesterday claimed to have carried by
assault the fortified bridgehead at
Lennewada, on the Dvina river be-
tween Friedrichstadt and Riga. This
is considered for the Russians the
most critical point on their whole
front, for should the Germans sue
coed in crossing the Dvina, the Rus
slams would be compelled to evacu-
ate Riga and their position between
the Dvina and wilma and even south
west of the latter city would be jeop-
ardized.
However, the Germans do not yet
claim to have crossed the river,
which is being defended by a rein
forced army commanded by General
Ruzsky, who stopped the previous
German advance in front of War
saw. Military critics believe the
Russians will make a stubborn de-
Tense on the Dvina, the opinion be-
ing expressed that should they fail
there, the German fleet would gain
command of the Gulf of Riga and
by landing troops at Pernau would
considerably shorten the protracted
march to Petrograd, which is under
stood to be the ultimate objective of
the German higher command.

uated, apparently proved an empty

ALLIES WORKING TOGETHER.
Any Action Taken Toward Ending
War Must Be Made in Com
mon, Says Authority.

London, Sept. An high officia
circles here it is learned authorize
lively that recent rumors of peace
have no foundation in any step TAX.
en- by the British government or any
statement issued here from authori-
tative sources.
No member of the government
would allow himself to be quoted in
discussion of the peace rumors,
which recently have gained wide
circulation. The Associated Press,
however, was authorized to make
public the foregoing explicit denial.
Rumors of peace overtures orig
mating in the United States are ex-
citing considerable interest here,
both among the general public and
in official circles, but no confirma-
ton could be secured for reports
that the British government had
been sounded in this connection.
Although no representative of the
government would place himself on
record on the subject of the peace
rumors the following expression was
obtained from a high official who
declined permission to use his name:
Il am inclined to believe that
Germany is making some move in
the direction of peace, but I can
state that England has absolutely
no intention at the present time of
making any concessions.
eff suggestion of peace terms
should come from the United States,
it would be received here with the
same attention that is always given
any communication from the coun-
try with which we have so much in
common. However, anything done
must be done in absolute concert
with our allies.
Recent events in Russia have had
absolutely no effect upon this de-
termination. AS for GermanyS ac-
ton in regard to her submarine pol
icy, it cannot be said that it will re-
suit in any modification of Great
Britain's food blockade, which we
contend is perfectly legal. If we be-
come convinced of it's illegality, we
will suspend it at once.
Vague talk of freedom of the sea
is all very well, but just now free
dom on land is much more import
ant. In this connection l cannot see
in Sir Edward Grey's re-
cent statement to the press which
would bear out the Interpretation
that he limited at possible peace dis
