st. OmHT Describes The Fight
ing as Severe.
ALLIES TAKE TWO TOWNS
Tt,eir Occupation of Positions North
of Ypres Would lmPerl German
Resting on Roulers.

A new battle is raging in Flanders
according to advices from northern
France, and the fighting is reported to
be OF a violent character.
A dispatch from St. Omer, just be.
low the Belgian border, and sent by
way Of Paris, says the Germans are
bringing up reinforcements trans
ferred from the district about Rheims
and that they are being hurled against
tte allies lines. The German losses
are severe The hospitals at Roulers
are overcrowded. and the wounded
pour in night and day.
The village, of Middlekerke has been
almost destroyed by the fire of the
allies. The dispatch says the town of
Massa has changed hands several
times, and that most OF the place is in
ruins.
Neither the French nor the German
officials report records a second bat
tie on a large scale in Flanders, al
though Paris reports the lombard
ment of Ypres and Furnes, without
giving any details. The unofficial dis.
patch from St. Omer, however, was
apparently passed by the Paris cen.
sorship.
The Belgian towns of Passchen-
daele and Langemarck have been cap
tured by the allies, according to a
received in Amsterdam from
Sluis. 1t says that the Belgian troops
took these places with the assistance
of a large force of British troops af- ,
ter hard fight with the Germans.
Langemarck is north and Pass.
chendaele northeast of Ypres. Their
occupation would imperil the German
army whose center rests on Roulers.

STAYS WIFE AND
TWO DAUGHTERS
New York Real Estate Man
Then Commits Suicide
HIS SON ALONE ESCAPES
Murderer Used Muffled Rifle and
Shots Were Not Heard-cause Of
Tragedy Mystery.

Tragedy a Mystery.
Mufling the reports of his rife will
a Maxim silencer, Herman Auerbach
a wealthy real estate man, shot tC
death his wife, Clare, thirty-four years
old, and their two daughters, Bea
trice, aged eighteen, and Daisy, six
teen years OF age, and tnen commit
ted suicide in their home at SS6 Cen
tral Park West, New York.
The bodies of the victims of the
tragedy were found by Lester, the
fourteen-year-old son, whose suspi.
cions had been aroused upon awak'
ening in an adjoining room to find a
note slipped under the door reading;
when you wake up phone Uncle
Joe Levy and grandpa"
The note was unsigned, but was
plainly in the hand of Auerbach. 1t
is believed to have been indicted after
the crazed man had slain his wife and
daughters and made an unsuccessful
attempt to force an entrance into the
room of his son.
Although the rife was of q 44-cali
Der and should have made a noise
that would awaken the entire house.
no one in the building, not even the
son nor Lottie Sca'et, a maid, who
occupied rooms in the apartment, had
heard the shots.
The bodies, each shot through the
head, rested in their different beds
Apparently the three women were
killed as they slept The two daughters
occupied twin beds in a room adjoin
ing that in which Auerbach and his
wife slept.
1t is the theory of the police that
the man arose after making sure that
the family were asleep, and taking
his rifle, slew his wife and then his
daughters. From their room he is
thought to have gone to his sons
room, only to be baffled by the locked |
door. Young Lester has been locking |
his door since a burglar scare started |
in that section of the city a few
weeks ago, a precaution which saved |
his life.
After satisfying himself that there
was no way of entering the room
without arousing the other tenants of
the house, the real estate man is be.
lieved to have made his way back to
his own bed and ended his own life.
Evidently he pulled the trigger in this
final shot with a toe.
Terrified by his discovery, the boy
ran from the room of his parents to
that occupied by his sisters, with the
Intention of arousing them. One
glance at the two bodies told him the
ale in its terrible entirety, and then,
at the top of his voice, he
an screaming down the stairs into
he street.
Policeman Sullivan heard the boys
houts and hurried from his post a
couple of blocks away. After a pre-.
iminary investigation, he notified his
tation house and then called in Coro.
Ter Feinberg and DR.. w. A. White,
he family physician of the Auer-
,achs.
The physician shed a little light on
he deep mystery involved in the
tragedy, when he told the
uthorities of having attended Auer.
ach last autSmn for q, mild case Of
popleXy The last stroke was just be.
ore Christmas, DR.. White said, and
is patient had appeared to him to
ave completely recovered.
1t is thought, however, that the
eril of a recurrence of the ailment
hight have unbalanced his mind and
I'd him to his desperate act.

Shells prop In swltzerIand.

The Switzerland Gazette De Lau.
same has published a dispatch from
Porentruy, thirty-eight miles north.
west of Berne and close to the from.
tier of France, which says that the
German artillerymen, firing upon a
French battery near the frontier, sent

Is. what the Chicago Tribune calls
Henry g.. Walthall, who stands in re-
lation to p%hotoplays as Edgar Allen
roe does to literature. Mr.. Wathall
portrays, with witness and fascina-
ting intensity, the deepest and most
soul stirring Of human passions and
emotions, such as Poe depicted with
his pen. iiurry B. Walthall is the
star in 'The Birth of a Nation" the
first photoElay that played to the ad-
mission of 1890 and the same picture
is playing to crowded houses now with
seats sold out four weeks in advance.
We are not going to show "Tne Birth

Walthall in another masterpiece, in
which he will show Lis powerful act
ing, the same as he has in his other
big features ""I'eulah', in six parts,
is the feature in which Mr.. Walthalll
will be seen in Bismarck for the first
time. The play Is adapted from che

the pathetic story of Beulah, her
heroic struggles and her ultimate tri-

How "WORMWOUD" sWAYED
.AMER!CAN LEGISLATION

In a recent interview concerning
"Wormwood', her greatest work visual
lied as a notable screen-drama by Will
liam Fox, Miss Coreli said:-"I am
glad that; as a distinguished Ameri-
can statesman recently wrote me my
book, NORWOOD has resulted in the
prohibition of the green poison, abb
sinthe, into America. This is a great
thing to have accomplished, to have
saved a noble nation from one of the
most malignant curses of modern
.imes,-the most crying evil that ex.
lists in France. l have reason to love
America for the sake Of the many
friends my writings have won for me
there; friends " hose faces / have new

expression Of their thoughts. With
regard to the present story, which !
trust may help to rouse public atten-
ton 10 a pernicious evil which is grad
ually speeding over al the world, l
believe most intelligent Americans
who have visited Paris will read i.
with more or less anxious interest. l.

stor who quite recently wrote a long
and exhaustive practical account of in.
calculable mischief wrought by the
poison craze whose dire effects on one

CASS COUNTY IN
FOR EXPOSITION
Increasing Interest Being Shown
In Big Industrial EXPOSE
ton

Space reservations Tor the Agricri-
tural and Industrial Exposition at Bis
marck Oct. E16 are coming in rapidly.
One of the most interesting reserva-
tons is that made by Cass county.
This is the first time that Eastern
North Dakota has been represented at
Bismarck. Other counties near Cass
have sigaifed their intention of stag
ing exhibits and it is probable that
the entire district will be represented
at the Missouri Slope exposition.
Every one Of the sixty-fve rooms in
the mammoth three-story building,
loaned by the Northern Pacific rail-.
way. when the doors are open on Oct.
4 will be filled with North Dakota's
best.
Manager ]. B. Mills reports that in
dividual farmers are taking Unusual
interest in the exposition. He expects
warm contests in all classes for the
$4,000 hung up in prizes by the fair
management. This section is a new
feature Of expositions Of this nature
and should convince visitors that 1t
IS no empty boast that the North Da-
kots farmers are the most up-to-date
in the country. ~
Prot. Thomas Shaw, agricultural ex.
pert Of the Great Northern railway
and a veteran promoter Of stock farm
ing, will be one fthe speakers at the
meetings held each day Of the fair.
Prof. Shaw was recently elected presi.
dent of the newly organized American
Milking Shorthorn Breeders Associa.
ton. an honor conferred UPON him in
recognition Of his great service in be.
half Of better agriculture. Other agri-
cultural experts are being commune
Gated with and indications are that
North Dakota will hear at Bismarck
n of the strongest lecture programs
evor given in the state.
Work has been completed on the
nremium list and the copy is now in
the hands Of the printer. A postal ad-
dressed to the North Dakota Agricul-
tural Association, Bismarck, will bring
a copy free Of charge.
This years exposition is going to
be the best ever. This is the opinion
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1915-09-15

and has granted Lu C~henS.hsiang,
the minister for foreign affairs, per.
mission to erect a new building at
once for his department.
The present quarters are wholly in
adequate and unsuited for Office pur.
poses. They consist Of q group OF
one-story Chinese houses massed
about a series of small courts. The
only means Of communication between
the various buildings is rooted walks,
extending across the courts. In its
summer garb the foreign Office is e1-
tremely picturesque. The courts are
protected from the sun by mating
roofs supported By poles which rise
high above the buildings and admit
the air freely. AT the sides o fthis
summer roof r mating curtains
which may be lowered to keep of the
sun. Strips of the mating roof are
also movable and can be rolled back
to admit Ut better air circulation when
the sun is not shining.
All the houses useG as Offices are OF
stone and brick and have extended tile
roofs supported by heavy wooden
beams which are exposed in the cell
ings. The houses are built on the
ground, and, like most native buiN,.
ings, are damp. Glass has replaced
transparent paper in most of the small
windows high on the side Of the rooms
but the lightning and ventilation are
bad.
Minister Lu has urged for some
time that the old buildings lacked the
dignity of foreign Offices in other
countries and were entirely too con.
serTatiye for the use OF a progressive
government engaged in such import
ant International negotiations. The
new building will be directly across
the street from the old buildings, on
grounds now used by the International
Tennis club. An effort will be made
in the new building to combine the at
features of Chinese architec-
ture with all the co1veniences ane
comforts OF a modern Office building.
