French are covering longer battle
front and one along which heavier
fighting has taken place recently. II
is probable the French loss is more
than 5000 men a day.
Probably the biggest toll of men
at the present time is being taken
in Russia, where the Russians are
reported to be hurting immense mas
ses of men upon the Germans in
counter attacks. The Russians are
said to be attacking in close forma-
lions, many rows deep. Frequent
stories from the Russian battle
fronts say the cars men have been
fairly moved down by regiments in
some of their attacks.

TRICKS
THE GERMANS
Huge Cotton Shipments from U. S.
Gained by Subterfuge.

New York, Oct. 23.-American
cotton valued at approximately $780,
100000 shipped from the United
States and consigned to Germany, is
held by the Italian government, &C
cording to Capt. J. w. Bachelor,
who arrived here yesterday. Captain
Bachelor said for several months
previous to Italy joining the allies,
all cotton consigned to Germany
through Italy was detained. One of
the last pretexts used was that there
was a shortage of cars, and to over
come this Germany sent to Italy a
large consignment of rolling stock.
Italy is in possession Of both cars
and cotton.

TALK ACROSS
ATLANTIC BY
WIRELESS PHONE
Words Spoken at Station at Arling-
ton, Va, are Heard at Eiffel
Tower in Paris.
CAUGHT ALSO AT HONOLULU
Much Experimental Work Must Be
Done Before Radio Service Over
Atlantic is Possible.

New York, Oct. 22.-Arlington
Va, talked by wireless telephone
with Paris, France, yesterday. Hon
olulu also heard the operator talking
from Arlington.
To B. B. Webb, a telephone engin.
eer, fell the honor of being the first
man to span with his voice the space
between the old world and the new
Sitting in the powerful wireless
plant of the navy at Arlington, Va,
Mr.. Webb, shortly after midnight
yesterday morning asked the wire
less telegraph operator to signal the
Eiffel tower in Paris. The wireless
snapped out the signal and soon
there came back a. response. Await
ing word from Mr.. Webb at the Paris
end of the wireless radiation were
H. E. Shreeve and A. M. Curtis, 9TH
er engineers, and a group Of French
officers, listening with especially de-
signed apparatus.
In Honolulu, 4,S0O miles from Ar
lington, Mr.. Espenchied, another
telephone engineer at the Pearl Har-
Dor navy yard, also was waiting.
Webb at Arlington had transmit
ting instrument, but no receiving
apparatus. He knew therefore that
he would have to wait for the cable
to confirm the success or failure Of
the experiment.
"Hello, Shreeve!" he shouted into
the mouthpiece. "Hello, Shreeve!"
He then began to count zone, two,
three, four; one, two three, four.
Goodby!"
Late yesterday afternoon the ex-
pected cable message came. It was
addressed to the company here and
said that Webb's hellos and goodbys
had been distinctly heard by the en-
gineers and French army officers in
Paris and that portions of his test
figures had also been picked up. At
about the same time, there came a
from Honolulu saying
Webb's talk had been understood in
full by the receiving engineer there,
and that even the voice had been
recognized as Webbs.
Chief Engineer Carly said over the
telephone last night that much ex-
detrimental work will have to be done
yet, however, before telephoning
across the Atlantic becomes an every
day affair of commercial life.
The French government and the
navy department at Washington, he
said, had made it possible to conduct
the test by occasionally permitting
The use of the wireless stations. Mil
tary necessities of France, he said,
prevented more than brief use of the
Iiffel tower station at any one time.

SERBS ARE FIGHT

Few of Them Taken Prisoners By

Amsterdam, (via London), Oct
pa representative of the Loka

graphs that the desperate resistance
of the serbians is responsible for the
relatively small number of prisoners
taken by the Austrians and Ger
mans.
SERBIAN troops rarely surrender
even in hand to hand encounters, -
the correspondent says. "They fight
until the last possible moment. Thus
there are enacted in the battles hor-
rible scenes Of the widest fighting,

London, Oct. 23.-War casualties
are growing larger than in the earl
Ter months of the great European
conflict, as evidenced by the casual
ty reports for the British forces in
France since Oct. /. These casual
ties total 2,285 officers and 50,0T2
noncommissioned officers and men.
They show an average loss to the
British army of nearly $500 men a
day. This is considerably in excess
of the casualties earlier in the war
and reflects the desperate character
Of the fighting recently taking place
on the western front. During the
summer the British losses along the
west front totalled about 1900 men
day.
British losses in the Dardanelles
are unavailable, but are known to
be very heavy.
However, the British are suffer-
ing probably less than the other ma
Jor combatants, reports from Nish
showing that the Austro-GermansI
have sustained the loss of 10000
men in killed, wounded and prison
ers since the beginning of the in
vasion. The German losses on the
west front have been, 1t is estimated
here. every bit as large as those of
the British, as the Germans have ex-
pended men 1avish1y in counter at
tacks, following the big allied drive.
French losses are known to be in
excess Of those of the British for the

will result. Mr.. Garner telegraphed
Mayor Brown yesterday as follows:

The announcement that the Twen-

today for the border to strengthen

brought sense of relief here today.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 23.-Car-
rama is to be asked to help end the
border troubles that have been a
source of annoyance to this govern
ment for several months.
In addition to Strengthening the
military forces on the border, the
United States yesterday instituted a
vigorous inquiry into the raids.
President Wilson conferred with At
torney General Gregory, who is pre-
pairing to send large squad of
agents to the scene. Officials here
are convinced that the Carranza au-
thorities have no connection with
the disturbances and are anxious to
stop them. The belief prevails that
influences on the American side of
the line have had much to do with
conspiracy to cause trouble,
