ATTACKS.

DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Nov. 2.-After
four desperate attacks on Aqua Prize.
ia, which kept the Carranza defensss
blazing practically all night with
flashing guns and bursting shells.
Gen. Francisco Villa drew off shortly
after daylight today.
A half dozen persons on the Amer.
lean side of the boundary had been
wounded.
Losses Of the Carranza garrison
were reported by Gen. Gales as As
killed and rs wounded, although un.
Official reports stated his casualties
were ESQ. Villas dead and wounded
in large numbers were scattered over
the desert outside of the barbed wire
entanglements which surround the
Mexican town.
The battle continued practically
without intermission from yesterday

the action of September 25 the Field
Marshal says:
Il deeply regret the heavy casual
ties incurred in this battle, but in
view of the great strength of the DO
sition. the stubborn defense of the en-.
envy and the powerful artillery by
which he was supported | do not
think they were excessive, am happy
to be able to add that the proportion
of slightly wounded was relatively
large indeed.
Field Marshal French here refers
to the improvement in the artillery
and the arrival Of British reinforce,
ments, saying:
Since my last dispatch the army
has received strong reinforcements,
and every reinforcement has had its
quota Of field artillery. In addition
numerous heavy guns and hoWitzerS
have been added to strength of the
heavy artillery. The arrival of these
achievements in the field tested the
capacity Of the artillery as q whole
to expand and meet the requirements
Of the army. 4
Our enemy may have hoped, and
not perhaps without reason, that it
would be impossible for US, starting
from such small beginnings, to build
up an efficient artillery to provide
for a very large expansion Of the
army. II he entertained such hopes
he now has good reason to know they
have not been justified by results
THE efficiency Of the artillery and
the new armies exceeded all expecta.
tons, and during the period under
review excellent services have been
rendered by the territorial artillery.
The repulse Of the enemy attack on
October 5 in the neighborhood Of
Loos and Hullucf with. such very
heavy losses shows the capacity Of
he artillery to concentrate its fire
promptly and effectively at a NOM
ent's notice"
or the use by the British forces o.
sas, Field Marshal French says the
'epeated use of gas by the Germans
compelled him to resort to a similar
method.

MORE STREETS MILL
Be ORDERED PAVED
At NEXT MEETING
CITY FATHERS WILL PROBABLY
EXTEND WORK ON GARDEN
TO THE DEPOT.
WEST SEVENTH TO THE LINE
Residents on West Sixth Are Also
Said to Be Circulating a Petition
Asking That Paving Be Laid on
That Street.

Paving of the streets of Columbia
with asphaltic concrete will continue
According to present indica
tons and plans the streets al
ready ordered paved will be the be
ginning of the work of making Column
bia the city beautiful. At the next
meeting of the board of mayor and
aldermen on Friday night it is highly
probable that the paving of several
additional streets will be ordered.
Petitions have been presented to
the mayor or have been circulated
asking that West Sixth street from
the city hall to the Knob; that West
Seventh street from High to the cor.
poration line, and that South Garden
street from Eighth to the union pas
senger station, be paved There is lit.
tie doubt that at the meeting of the
board on Friday pavements will be or
dered on Garden street to the station
and on West Seventh
There will be a new sewer laid on
South Garden street as soon as the
work on the sewer on South Main
street has been completed. Since the
completion of several blocks of paw.
ing in the heart of the city the senti-
ment in favor of this class of street
work is growing rapidly in favor.
Mayor Dedmatf is being Constantly
commended by people who formely
opposed this improvement upon his
his progress.
City officials believe that IL any
further paving Is done in Columbia 1t
should be done now while the asphalt
plant is located here. If the plant is
removed the paving would cost large
ly more than the price now being
paid.

etal dispatch from Field Marshal Sir
John French to Earl Kitchener, which
is published under date of general
headquarters In France, October Is.
The dispatch is mainly technical
military review of the inception, the
carrying out and the aftermath Of
the fighting around La Basse, Loos
and Hulluch. Nevertheless, it brings
to the British public for the first time
a full realization of the intensity with
which the Germans launched their
counter attacks. These, Gen. French
says, were almost continuous from
the day of the big British attack up
to and including Oct. 8.
Then, the Field Marshal writes, the
Germans delivered an attack, with
some twenty-eight battalions in the
front line and with larger forces in
support, which was preceded by
very heavy bombardment on all parts
of the German front
"At all points Of the line except
two the Germans were repulsed with
tremendous loss. and it is computed
On reliable authority they left some
5000 or 5000 dead in front of the
British and French trenches" Gen. |
French says.

NEWS FROM AMERICA.
(London Chronicle. ).

Uondon Chronicle)
 Two years ago, when the Ohio state legislature was considering a sumpt- nary law, prohibiting women from wearing open work blouses and trans aren't stockings, Mrs. Laura Bishop etaliated by forming a commission of her sex to regulate male attire. They lrew up scheme which included com 1ulsory boards, the abolition of waist eoats and collars and the prevention of any public display of bald heads. Naturally, this program caused con- siderable amusement, but 1t was gen. rally agreed that if men were per- mitted to dictate to women in the mat ter of fashions, women should be al- lowed to point out what they consider objectionable in masculine attire. So eventually the attempt to impose sumptuary laws had to be abandoned.

EASY TO BE A BACK NUMBER.
(Columbus (O) Dispatch.

tCOlumDuS to) DlSpdtCI.
 One of the easiest things, these swift moving days, is to become back number A lawyer may school himself thoroughly in the knowledge of his profession, but if he is to win, he must continue his study; there will be something for him to learn every day, md then he will wish for longer days in which to learn more So with a physician, especially with a specialist. Every day is sure to add something to his particular science, and he must now it. if he is to lead. What Is rue of these two professions of law and medicine is true of every profess sion and skilled employment. The knowledge, which is all the time ac- cumulating, one must have as certain, ly as the carpenter must have his tools.
 That is why it is so easy to become back number Keeping abreast of he knowledge peculiar to one's occu- pation is hard work and constant work eut the reward Is abundant for the man who thus exerts himself. Years nay come to silver his hair, but he is still the master of his task, and he will not be distanced by the newcomers in his field of endeavor Moreover his keen interest will keep him young his continued success will conserve his health, and he will serve better and live longer. Don't by any sort of a back number.

AFTER THE WAR.
Commerce Reports.)

NCoHiHierce hepOTtS.)
 At the close of the present European war all the nations now engaged in that struggle will need immediately and in arge quantities articles wholly and partly manufactured, as we'll as raw materials. While this demand may 'ax the productive resources of all countries for time, readiness to take advantage of new openings will count heavily in immediate sales as well as in future trade. It is. thereore, urg- ,ntly suggested that American pro-
 'cers of raw materials and of manu- factured and semi manufactured pro- 1ucts should begin preparation for this 'rade
 That the fullest knowledge as to the needs of Austria may be before the manufacturers of the United States, -eport is in course of preparation by his consulate general which, 1t Is soped, will deal with every possible rade and contain as complete and as accurate information as Is obtainable.

LITTLE IMMIGRATION.
Seattle P.-I.)


 During the last fiscal year, according To the recent report of the immigra- tion bureau. our alien population in- creased by but 5O,O70. Since that date thousands more of alien residents of the United States have returned home to fight or take the places open to them in industries.
 The rate of increase through immi- grafton during the past fiscal year was only about one- sixteenth of what 1t had been formerly. During 1913 the alien population increased S15,303. During 1914, when the depression start ed by tariff legislation began, the in- crease had dropped to 769.276. Now it is practically stationary, and there is fair probability that should the war antinue until June next the alien population of the United States will show an actual decrease.
 It is not alone to take part in the fighting that workers are returning to Europe Agents are in this country now soliciting the services of skilled workmen for the intuition plants of England and offering wages as high as are paid In the United States There Is keen competition for this class of hor and Europe is getting quite a let of it from us.
 There is a good deal of speculation, purely theoretical. whether at the end of the war there is to be great re- newal of immigration to the United States. Whether there is'or not, there Is an interval during which no immi- grafton of any large proportions may be expected and 1t Is a question wheth- CT there will not be felt a serious short age of labor of all kinds if the im- provement in the industrial world pro- gresses longer at the present rate.

A POSSIBLE RESULT.
(Exchange.)

Speaking of the question of dump ing" and of trade competition follow ing the close of the war, the editor of the Pittsburg Gazette Times gives expression to some good horse sense. He calls attention to the fact that the industrial plants of Germany are un- impaired and that throughout the war an association of German manufactur- CTS and financiers has been bnsy per- fecting plans for regaining markets after peace is restored and goes on to say
 "But in the more recondite workings of political and social economy there are factors which will have important influences in the impending fight for markets The poverty of Europe and
 a prosperity of the United States may work to the advantage of the former, as competitor, and against the latter in the struggle. For exam ple the habit of self sacrifice imposed even upon oh AAAOPN while the war is in progress, and the tremendous burden which will follow peace for years to come as result or unprecedented war debts, will make 1t easier for English, German and French reople of all classes to consume less and produce more. They might be likened to an individual who is work ing off the mortgage on home He is more economical in personal expen- ditures and more industrious in pro- duction than the individual who spends
 he earns. The prosperity of the United States, with it's rapidly increas- ing wealth. the higher wages of its workingmen. which make possible the gratification of creature comforts; the
 ising scale of living. which converts luxuries into the necessaries of life all these things add to the cost of production and become determining factor in international trade"
