The Dixie Highway


II occurs TO rs that such arteries
of transportation as the "Dixie
Highway" the Lincoln Highway
and the National Park Highway
are much underestimate by the
general public. These highways
arc i'm their infancy. and like many
other undertakings - their value
for the future of city Is not I'M
derslOOd
Hundreds of thousands Of auto
mobiles with their passengers will
travel over these highways
through South Bend. Each pas
senger will have a "stop-over" and
perhaps return ticket. It will
aid other traHic-bringing many
farmers and their products from
a much longer distance into South
Bend. IL will give South Bend a
perpetual advertisement Of a value
a. vet understood only by its pro-
mOters.
Our Chamber or Commerce has
succeeded in their efforts TO cstab-
Iish the Dixie Highway" through
our city. Ii has performed a serv-
ice of incalcuIable benefit TO South
Bend IL il now up TO our county
to do its share 10 be I'm n position
TO participate i'm the Federal aid
that will come to these National

II may seem out Of place for the
above to appear i'm an advertise

casiOnalIy do something "out of
place" i'm the right direction IL
might serve a useful purpose.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.--Delving

investigate the movements of half
dozen eoastwise steamers.
These vessels, it was thought, may
have smuggled systematically many
Chinese from Mexican ports. 0stensi-
bly,, they placed between San Francisco,
Los Angeles and San Diego and thence
to San Pedro. One vessel In particular
excited suspicion because Of the length

San Diego and that numerous Chinese
are being shipped to Mexico at present

Paris, Oct. 3d." Serbia asks favors
from nobody. All she wants is fair

full duty by her. France mas done so
already, and doubtless England intends
to do likewise, but she is too slow. I'm

"Germany began to concern herself

TWO WOMEN SPIES
EXECUTED IN FRANCE
Government Makes No Secret
Of It---Both Unlike the
s CaveIl Case
By william Philip simms.

Paris, Nov. l.--Franco makes no
secret of the fact that she has executed
two women spies Officials, however,
refuse to be drawn into this discussion
from. the standpoint of the German ex-
ecution of Miss Edith Cavell, English
woman. They gave me records and tho
authority to publish these.
The eases are not similar, according
to French records, to the case of Miss
Cavell who was only charged with
helping recruits to escape from Belgium
and not with spying. On the other
hand the French found 0tillie Voss and
Marguerite Schmidt guilty of being
spies
Secret service police arrested the
Voss woman at Bourges February %.
She went then under the name of
Jeanne Bowler, but confessed her right
name was Voss, that she was born in
Rhine province, was 33 years old and
unmarried. Seven years before the war
started sne lived in Agen, near Bor-
deaux, and was engaged in teaching
German.
At the outbreak Of hostilities she re-
turned to Germany where she became

If this word be true, it means that
the Bulgarians after getting their grip
on Pirot, key to Nisn, made hurried
move against the capital nearly 40
miles distant, or else from elsewhere in
the Timok valley.
The report declared that the Bulgars
fire was directed at the outer forts of
the city.
At the same time, the heralded Rus
sian troop expedition to Bulgaria to aid
Serbia or shut off the Teuton drive for
Constantinople was reported to have
approached Varna Sunday while war

in doubt, was reported by Staff Cor

Fierce Artillery Battle.
In Russia there is terrific artillery
battling on the Dvinsk front. The Of
ficial Petrograd statement today told
of fierce fighting" northwest of
Czartorysk where the TeutOns were
stopped by the artillery and rifle fire
Of the Slavs. Partial repulse of tne
. Teuton offensive around the Strypa-
Dniester junction was claimed.
Two German steamers have fallen to
the Russians in the Gulf of Bosnia. On
the Italian front, the offensive con-
tinues unabated, but the Italians are
still hard pressed. The official Italian
statement early today told of ruse in
the Astico valley, whereby Austrians
pretended to surrender but were met
by murdcrous fire" which ended in
their rout.
In the Rienz valley, the Austrians
gained an advantage only TO be routed
