 WIN FROM
 GERM ANS

LONDON, Jan. l6.-A Drll- liant victory won by the Cana dian troops in Belgium yester- day is the war sensation in Lone don today. One of the Canadian regiments distinguished itself by a daring bayonet charge which cleared and took trench after trench.
 The "slouch halted men of Canada went into action with a vel that would put to shame the red Indians of their own West shouting, "For Canada and Old England" and there was no re- sisting their enthusiasm and val OF.
 The battle was fought in Deadman's valley near Ypres. The result was to.give the Allies considerable ground that had been held by the Germans.
 The London newspapers give unstinted praise to the bravery of the Canadian troops and the skill with which they were han died. They carried the trained, professional soldiers of Germany who have fought and won and lost in so many severe battles since the beginning of the war completely off their feet. Ere quently they were pitted against superiornumbers, but with abso-- .lute lack of any semblance ol fear and with an enthusiasm that amounted to wrecklesspess they went at the enemy with no idea other than victory

FLOWING UNDER WAY
Fall Work Has Been Given a Good
Start in Kansas.

Fall blowing is well under way in
all sections of Kansas, according to
reports received at the office of J. &.
Mohler, secretary of the state board
of agriculture.
Numerous complaints had been re-
ceived that in some parts of the state
the heavy rains and subsequent warm
sunshine had packed the soil as
to make blowing difficult, and in
some cases it even being reported that
the soil was cracking. However, Mr..
Mohler asserts that more recent rains
had moistened the top of the earth
and blowing is being accomplished
with more ease.
A report of the acreage sown in
winter wheat will be issued, it is said,
early in November.
