HOMESTEAD MILLION ACRES.
Actual Settlers With Experience on
Non-Irrigated Land Locate In
Lamar District.

Non-Irrisated Land Locate In
Lamar District.
Denver-One of the greatest rushes
of bona fide settlers to Colorado that
has ever been recorded is now taking
place in the southeastern corner Of
this state, according to A. l.. Beavers,
register of the United States Land Of
flee for the Lamar district. More than
100000 acres have been homestead
ed in the last year, and the rush is
steadily increasing from month to
month-instead of falling off at this
season Of the year, as usual.
"These new settlers probably are
the best Colorado ever obtained" said
Mr.. Beavers, "for they are nearly all
lands, who come from neighboring
states, where conditions are mostly
identical; they know what they are up
against right from the start, and they
know how to begin in a way that will
insure success.
Virtually all of them have ready
cash to undertake the development of
their property. And they have fine
work horses and an adequate stock of
mich COWS. They are not taking the
land for speculation, but to make per-
manent homes. They are making the
right kind of a start, so that years Of
scant rainfall will not affect them"
During the first ten months of 1915
Mr.. Beavers has placed 1881 home
stead applications on land. The great
er part of these applicants were men
with families, raising the number OF
settlers to at least 10000. These men
took 970,664 acres.

Violinist and Barytone Give Pleasing
Entertainment at First Ladies

The first Ladies Night" of the
season at the National Press Club was
brilliant one in many ways. The
audience was large to overflowing.
the atmosphere cordial. and the enter
tainment n splendid one.
The occasion was what was virtually
the first appearance in this city-for he
was a little known artistic entity
when he last played here as a lad
of the now eminent American violin
list. Albert Spalding; and he fully JUS
titled all the preliminary laudations
heaped upon him. and was welcomed
with an unmistakable warmth of ap-
probation.
Mr.. Spalding is a serious young man
of great accomplishments. His tonal
smoothness is most admirable, and he
plays with musical feeling and great
understandings His audience last night
was loath to let him go. but will have
another opportunity of hearing him
play in public concert at the Belasco
Theater tomorrow afternoon.
II you visit Atlantic City in the good
old summer time, you have doubtless
enjoyed the fine barytone of Signor
Milo Picco each day on the Steel
Pier Last night the Press Club was
rather crowded and warm and when
genial Ralph Graves. the chairman.
introduced the affable Signor Picco.
everyone felt the cooling breath from
the sea which he had brought with
him from the shore especially for the
audiences benefit Signor Picco's Sc
lections were admirably chosen to dis
play voice of wide range and ad-
mirable power. He is indeed super

WILSON'S STAND WILL

Miss Constance Drexel JubiIant Over
Presidents Announcement
turns to CITY from Coast.

Jubilant over the stand of President
Wilson in favor of woman suffrage
and confident that Constitutional
amendment providing for nation wide
suffrage will be enacted at the COM
ing session of Congress, Miss Con-
stance Drexel. one of the leading suf-
frage advocates of the country, has
returned to Washington from San
Francisco. where she attended the
convention of woman voters.
Miss Drexel says the sentiment
throughout the country is in favor Of
such a Constitutional provision.
Miss DreXel will leave this morning
for Philadelphia and New York on a
short visit. returning in time for the
convention of the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage, to be held here
commencing December 6. The old

The Wilson administration will ask
sugar schedule at the coming session OF
Congress. Information as to the admin.
istrations abandonment of the idea oi
permitting sugar to 20 upon the free
list was conveyed in an announcement
from Secretary of the Trea sure McAdoC
yesterday.
Mr.. McAdOo announced he will recon-.
mend in his forthcoming message to
Congress that the existing duties on
sugar be retained for several years. He
will recommend in addition that the wal
revenue act be extended until peace is
restored in Europe.
The Secretary said il was impossible
for HIM to announce what measures the
administration may deem necessary Ia
provide additional revenues as the de-
partmental estimates have not been re-
ceived. The latter statement tntrudes
very forcibly the suggestion that a bond
issue will be authorized to cover the in
creased expenditures for national de-
fense. II is well understood at the
Treasury Department that the War and
Navy Departmental estimates are the
only ones which may be extended In a
considerable measure and thus create a
need for additional revenues.
Friends OF the President indicated ycs-
terday that they are pleased with the re-
ception which has been given the intima
tions that he will propose bond issue
to meet the additional army and navy ex-
penditures. No uncertainty exists in their
minds that the president practically has
decided to rely upon the bond issue to
meet the expenses of developing the
army and navy.
Here Is Secretary MHidoo's statement:
On reply to many inquiries about the
revenue measures that will be proposed
In the next Congress. I have determined
to recommend D that the emergency

Secretary McAdoo's decision to rec
ommend the repeal Of the free sugar
provision is regarded by Republicans
as complete reversion of the admin
istration position on the tariff. The
free sugar provision was adopted by
dent Wilson. Representative Under
wood and other leaders opposed free
sugar and free wool. but the White
House gave notice that unless these
two products were placed on the free
list the bill then pending would not
be approved by the President
In this position Mr.. Wilson had the
support Of william J. Bryan and other
radical members of the party. The
prediction was made privately by Mr..
Underwood at the time of the adop-
ton of the free sugar schedule that
1t would prove to be blunder from
a revenue standpoint. Some Republi-
can leaders insist that when the Dem
ocratic Congress gets down to work
on tariff revision this winter that wool

The beauty OF the Lincoln Memorial
is to be inhanced by an immense lagoon
stretching out in front of it toward
the Capitol. The water will reflect the
structure and set off its manifold
beauties. Congresmen have opposed
the construction of this lagoon, argu-
ing that it was a useless expenditure
OF money for a mere skating pond. but
legislation will be enacted to insure
the carrying out of the architects
plans.
Plans soon will be completed for the
laying out of a park to join Rock Creek
and Potomac Parks.

BIG VICTORY SCORED
BY FRENCH BAYONETS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

lery opened the preparatory bonn
bardment yesterday. The cannon
ade increased in intensity agains
the German defenses during the
afternoon indicating to the belea,
guered Germans that the French
were paving the way for genera
attack by storm.
French Driven Back.
When the attack by infantry came. the
Germans. desperately and for a while ef-
fectively. opposed the onrush. the French
being driven back time after time with
heavy loses. Finally the concentrated
shell fire and the fury of the infantry as
ssult that followed carried the charging
Frenchmen past the shattered barrier and
on to their goal.
In Gen. Jofrre's plan to crush the Sois-
sons salient. the target of the French in
Champagne from the first has been the
network of railroads and highways north
and northwest of st. Menehould. On this
plain west of the Argonne forest there
ton which bear heavily on the security of
the German lines to the west. The road
from Sedan passes through Vouseirs.
north of St. Menehould. and this is the
main. feeder of the German supply sys-
TEN. Upon 1t and its spreading branches
the German troops from Rheims to Sois-
sons depend for food and ammunition.
Six miles south of Vouseirs this road
branches off at Challerange and runs
w, stward. paralleling the German de-
fensc lines. to Bazancourt. where 1t joins
with the Rheims-Charleville Railway.
The object of the French attacks was
either to capture or destroy this Challe-
range -Bazancourt branch or to control it
by their military fire
This prize was the incentive for the
furious fighting of the first days of
the drive. when the most terrific fight
ing of the Champagne battle occurred
in the vicinity of Tahure.
Road Within Easy Reach.
Tahure is built on a low hill about
$50 feet high. To the north the ground
slopes away gently and spreads out in
to q level plain. Along this plain. and
distant only three miles from the sum-
nit of the hill which is now in French
hands. lies the coveted railway line.
within easy range for several miles
both east and west.
Aside from hampering the supply of
the troops. continued occupation by the
French of this position will strike at
the very core of the German system
of defense. for it is upon facility for
movement of reserves behind the first
lines that the German commanders de-
pend for their support in time of
urgent need. While a motor traffic
has been deyeloped to n high state of
efficiency to supply this need. the rail-
ways are still a necessity.
Fighting on the remainder of the
front has been confined to artillery
combats which have ragged with par
ticular violence in the Artois sector
and about the Givenchy woods, where the
French and Germans for the past few
days have won and lost trenches several
times between suns.
