the country's topography STILL it is
stated, they are unable to cope with
the superior numbers and stronger
artillery of the forces operating
against them on all the fronts
While the plans of the entente al
lies are being closely watched in Ber-
lin it is generally assumed that they
are too late to save Servia. Also the
belief is expressed that Bulgaria is
throwing its greatest strength into
the Vardar valley in order to prevent
d junction of the entente forces with
the Servian troops and that the Bull
garians are amply able to hold the
valley against any force which the en-
tehte allies will be able to bring into
acton before the collapse of Servia
Dr. Stephen Steiner, the Lokal An
zeiger's correspondent at German
southeastern headquarters. reports
that he finds the Servans unable to
summon the moral force to withstand
the fearful effort of the German and
Austrian artillery He states that
the Seryian artillery is much inferior
to that of the Teutons and is of in
sufficient quantity. The successes
of the troops of the central allies he
says, thus far have been achieved by
splendid artillery preparation for the
attacks and their losses in men have
been correspondingly small. The Ser
vians are following the tactics of the
Russians in the lattel's retreat in Po-
land and are carefully Outstanding
their artillery, says Dr., Steiner.
Their guns are placed in positions
well behind the fighting lines and are
retired quickly at critical junctures,
leaving the infantry to bear the
brunt of the attack

GERARD lNTERCEDES
To Save TWO Women Condemned as
Spies

Washington, Oct. 2O--A dispatch
to the state department today from
James w Gerard, the American AM
bassador at Berlin, said that he had
made representations to the German
Foreign Office in behalf of Countess
jeanne de Bellvile and Mile. Louise
Thulier, teacher, both under son
tence OF death by the German mill
tary authorities In Belgium and that
it was probable that they would be
reprieved pending further inquiry.
The action of the ambassador was
based on Instructions from Secretary
Lansing to make formal inquiries
with a view to obtaining lepiency.
The women were convicted of viola
ton of the German code regulating
the conduct of civilians in conquered
territory.
The instructions were sent to AM
bassador Gerard at the instance of
the French government. No direct
request that the sentence be annulled
was made by the United States
through Mr.. Gerard as the govern
ment felt that it had no right, even
as the representative Of Belgian and
French interests in German territory,
to question the administration OF Ger
man military justice.

Bennington had the better line de-

RUSSIANS LOSE 5000 PRISONERS

London, Oct. 24-Illoukst, about
fifteen miles northwest of Dyinsk,
has been taken by General Won Hin
denburg, according to tonisht's ofic-
ial report from Berlin, The German
attempt to seize the Dyina and.
Dvinsk has been carried on here for
several weeks with heavy fighting.
Hindenburg reports the capture of
5000 prisoners when the Russian posi-
tions were taken by storm.
The persistence with which the
Germans are attacking in this region
shows the Importance they attach to
the capture of Dvinsk and Riga and
the line of the Dvina River before
winter sets in.
The Russian troops who landed at
Domeness, the northern tip OF Cour-
land, have re-embarked, according to
Berlin If this is so, it is probable
that the landing was intended as a
diversion in the hope of drawing
German troops from the Riga and
Dyinsk regions, where very heavy
fighting is still in progress.
According to advices from Cop
enhagen the Russian forces on the
northern coast of Courland proved
stronger and more numerous than
the Germans supposed. and they have
been pushing forward since Saturday
morning. The Germans are reported
to have retired from several import
ant points.
Owing to the presence of British
submarines, German naval co-opera-
ton with the land forces in the Bal
tic. is said to be impossible.
The Russian communication admits
the loss of, nloukst, and adds that it
was accompanied by fierce fighting
in the streets. Southwark from
Dyinsk the Russians continue their
attacks.

Berlin, Oct. 25.-The Servian cam
paign is progressing fayorably for the
central powers, although operations
are retarded by bad weather, and, as
in the section south of Belgrade, by
the exceedingly difficult topography
of the country. The German, Aus.
trian and Bulgarian forces are report
ed in Berlin to be gaining ground
everywhere without interruption. The
mention in Saturdays statement
from the German general staff that
the troops of the central allies had
crossed the Drina river near Visegrad
shows that the Teutonic forces are op
Grating on Servia's western front,
fact which heretofore had been sus-
'pected. This almost completes the
circle of the armies carrying out
general corral against the Seryian
forces. While all reports indicate
that the Servians are fighting with
splendid courage and show great
skill in utilizing the irregularities Of

London. Oct 25.-The Bulgarians,
according to their report issued yes
terday, have reached Uskup, an inn
portant junction on the Saionica-
Nish railway and have thus placed
themselves across the route by which
the allies renforcements for the
Serbs would travel. The Austro-Ger-
mans in the north have begun more
vigorous offensive and have crossed
the Danube near Orsova. This brings
much nearer the linking up of the
armies of the Germanic allies and
those of Bulgaria and the opening OF
the way through Bulgaria to Constan-

ed without heavy losses as the Ser

Important Fine Herefords.

/ Curtis ]. Miller has we'll earned
reputation for having brought to
this prairie some of the best stock it
has known. He is still at it, only
this time, he has gone himself one
better.
Recently he bought and shipped to
this city the prize-winning Hereford
bull Rex Donald Sd and Is Hereford
heifers, seven of which are also reg
istered animals. Rex Donald Sd is
II months old, weighs $50 pounds
and is certainly picture-one
square chunk of beef. He took
every prize but one in his class at
all the shows in the Northwest last
season; was sired by Rex Donald,
which noted animal was imported
from Missouri by Henry Thiessen,
of Sweetwater, and the calf was pur-
chased by Mr.. Miller from him. He
will head the Miller herd.
Mr.. Miller is strong believer in
the advantages of high-class stuff
over scrub stock, and has been
taught by experience that much
more money can be made by hand
ling the higher strains. This is not
scrub country anyway.

Bowman Medved Nuptials.

George Medved, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. M. Medved of this city came
over from Grangeville Monday
morning in company with Miss En-
ma Bowman of that city and stealth
lily betook themselves to the home of
the groom. where at high noon, of
the same day they were married by
Father A. w. Rompe. of the Catholic
church.
Immediately after the wedding
ceremony a sumptuous wedding dim
ner was partaken of by the newly
wedg and those present which now,
was now composed only of the Med
we'd families and Father Rompe.
Thereafter the bride and groom took
their departure for Grangeville where
they will Immediately settle down to
housekeeping and be at home to their
numerous friends.
The groom has grown to manhood
in this city and was at one time an
employee of the Herald office, but is
now head man on the Grangeville
Free Press. The bride is stranger
to us, but is said to be very fine
young lady, and the Herald hastens
to join the army of friends of the
happy pair in wishing them much JOY
and prosperity through life.
