Serbian Railway Center Falls
After Brisk Fighting.
ROUTE Of THE ALLIES CUT OFF

Austro-German Forces Begin More
Vigorous Offensive In the North,
Crossing the Danube Near Orsova.
Russian Troops Landed In Courland
MISUNDERSTANDING Striving to
Reach the Dvina.
London, Oct. 25.-An Official dis
patch from Sofia states that the Brit
garian army has taken Uskup. an i'm
portant junction on the Salonica-
Nish railway, and has thus placed
itself across the route by which the
allies achievements for the Serbs
would travel. The Austro-Germans,
IL the north, have begun a more Wig
orous offensive and have crossed the
Danube near Ossova. 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-
tinople
Success is not being achieved with
cut heavy losses, as the Serbian vet

French troops are fighting beside
the Serbs in the southeastern section,
and reports from Athens says that
other steps are being taken by the
allies to help their small partner.
Additional troops are being landed at
Salonica, Bulgarian ports in the
Aegean and Black seas are being
bombarded and it is believed that
men and munitions will be sent to
Serbia by still another route. With
out the active cooperation of Greece
and Roumania, however, the allies, it
is feared here. will not be able to do
much for some weeks.
The Russian troops who have land
ed at Domeness, Courland, have, &C
oording 10 Berlin, re-embarked. If
this is so. it is probable that the land
ing was Intended as a diversion, in
the hope of drawing German troops
from the Riga and Dvinsk regions,
where very heavy fighting is still in
progress.
There is no news of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's drive toward the
Dvina, southeast of Riga, but north
west of Dvinsk he has made another
attempt to reach the river and claims
to have forced the Russians from
their positions, inflicting great losses
on them and taking nearly 5000 pris-
oners. Illoukst, which mas figured
prominently in all the recent commu.
nications, has been captured by the
Germans
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.
On the rest of the eastern front the
Russians continue their isolated at
tacks. which are designed to prevent
the Germans from establishing line
of intrencnments such as they sue
ceeded in doing before Warsaw last
year, after the first attempts to take
the city failed.
Except for few attacks by the
Germans, the fighting in the west has
consisted for the most part of artil-
,ery engagements and some exciting
contests between the air men.

Standard Four Tire Company Has
Short Time in Which to Secure
$4,000 to Locate Fac
tory Here.
KEoKUK MUST GET BUSY
List of Stockholders Is Held up for
Day or Two Until Additional
Names Can be
Secured.

The Standard Four Tire company
| has ten more days, according to the
agreement signed a week ago, IN
which to raise the $4,000 from Keo-
| kuk Although the work Of soliciting
| has been carried on for week now,
and has progressed to some extent. It
| is not progressing as rapidly as the
company's hackers had hoped for.
! If the money is not raised within
the coming ten days, Keokuk will lose
this factory by default. The trouble
will lie entirely with the people of the
city if this chance Is let go by. 1t is
the chance they have been asking for,
and opportunity, according to the old
saying. doesn't come around more
than once.
1t is no secret to say that other
cities are waiting for this factory II
Keokuk doesn't see fit to subscribe
the money for the stock. Des Moines
is believed here, to be all ready In
case Keokuk fails.
The Standard Four Tire company
officials, however. want to come to
Keokuk, and il keokuk people live up
to the reputation they have always
had, they will bring the company in
here. According to tie Register and
LedO6T, L. " MS1Sdu has ahlioulS&1o
that the company will come here. The
other officials are all partial to keo-
kuk, SO it is up to the citizens as to
whether or not they want the factory.
The Register article says: II. V. Nc
Lean, promoter of the Standard Four
Tire company which it was first an
nounced would build a factory here,
definitely announced yesterday that he
had decided to put his factory at Keo-
kuk"
1t had been planned to publish the
first list of stockholders today, but
this has been deferred for day or
so until the list is larger. Practically
all of the big subscribers have been
secured, and the statesmen are out to-
day with their lists for the smaller
/ blocks Of stock.
The $4,000 that Is to be raised Is
an investment and not subscription,
and it is up to Keokuk to say whether
! this city will retain this factory or
whether it will be let 60 through
want of cooperation and liberality.

Much Enthusiasm For
This Event.

Clarence L. Alling. scout master. has
returned from his ten days bicycle
trip through the country adjacent to
Keokuk, in the interests OF the big
boy scout meet which will be held
here next month. On Mr.. Alling's trip
he found that not only are boy scouts
coming for this meet, but that dele
cations from the various towns are
going to come here to see the events.
Much interest has been aroused in
the meet through the efforts OF Mr..
Al1ing and his committee, and ths
local newspapers.
Rushville, Bentley and Ferris. all
Illinois points, informed the scolt-
master that they were preparing to
send troops to the Keokuk meet.
From Canton and CORN. Mo-. some
good delegations may be expected, ac-
cording to the reports which Mr.. Al
ling secured on the trip.
On all sides the local man met with
the most encouraging reception, and
the interest in the event seems to
be getting keener, due to the good
work of the committee in getting, their
plans together and in announcing the
possibilities OF the meet. A great
amount of credit is due Mr.. Alling for
his work along this line.
That the fathers and mothers and
friends OF the scouts in the various
nearby towns are planning to come
here, at the time of the big meet,
shows to what extent the interest is
being shown. 1t plainly shows that
Keokuk is going to see an event OF
