London, Sept. 1t.--The western
front with continuOLs artillery en-
gagements, occasional infantry at
tacks and the. probability that import
ant events now impending soon will
begin, attarct almost as much atten-
ton as the eastern battle fields where

Activity in East.
For some time yet, however, the
east is likely to be the scene of more
sensational action. Tie Russians are
presenting a strong offensive on eth
er wing and are making an equally
stubborn defensive in the center,
where the Austro-G Germans, although
gaining ground daily and coming clos
er to the Vilna-Rovn, railway, are
meeting with increasing opposition.
Bloody Enga iements.
Each village, town and road is prov

ment; for example, Skidel, town
Immediately east of Irovno, which at
last has been captured by the Ger

been strongly reinforced and are ap-

ammunition. They report their first
victory here over thy Austro-German
forces bringing theiis total of prison
ers captured dUrinsFh@ week up to
$4,000, without mentioning the loss of
men and guns.
On the northern end of the line,
southeast of Riga, the Russians also
are on the aggressive with the result
that the Germans have made no fur
ther progress against the Wilma river
line. Some of the British military
writer's believe that the Austro-Ger-
mans have reached the limit of their
penetration of Russia, so far as this
year is concerned.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept 11--Wl-

Against War Loans.
AS to the proposed loan of a vast
sum, Mr. Bryan continued:
AT the beginning of the war, this
government expressed its disapproval
of loans to ,belligerents. An exception
was afterwards made in favor Of the
credit gi en- by banks here to cover
purchases. This proposed loan, how
ever, is so large and will require the
cooperation of so many people to in
sure its success that it raises several
serious questions-the most important
being it's possible effect on this ma
tiCn's neutrality. 8
Blow to Neutrality.
The president has appealed to the
American people to refrain from un-
neutral words and acts, but this ap-
PEAL will have little effect if our peo-
pie become financially interested in
the success of either side. II such
loans are encouraged our people are
likely to become separated into
groups, each group loani.ig to the
side with which it sympathizes. We
have difficulty enough in maintaining
neutrality when sympathy rests upon
sentiment. 1t will lie still mere diff
cult if sympathy represents large
money inv estments.
I'VE cahnot afford to jeopardize our
neutrality for our money considera-
ton. If Europe wants American
money let it send lack American Sc.
curities. instead of asking our people
to share the risk of the war"

Ringside, Brighton Beach, N. Y,
Sept. 11.-Before the largest crowd
that ever witnessed boxing match
in this country, Mike Gibbons of st.
Paul out-pointed Packey Mcfarland
of Chicago in a ten round no decision
contest here tonight. The bout
which brought together two Of the
cleverest boxers in the ring today
was hard fought from start to finish,
but Gibbons scored the most frequent
and more effective blows.
Speed is DuIed.
Mcfarland showed that his long ab-
sence from the ring had dulled his
speed and power to snap punches to
the vulnerable points Of his appon-
ents head and body. He showed
flashes of his old rapid fire, but the
leads were little more than snap, and
did not check Gibbons in his more
effective assault. Mcfarland appear

and was not as well conditioned as
his opponent. The small phaCtom

Power Behind Blows.
There was power behind almost
every blow he landed and he found
little difficulty in beating the stock
yards boxer to the punch. For the
first four rounds, Gibbons was always
in the lead, playing alternately for
the head and body.
In the fifth Mcfarland took the ag-
gressive and being thoroughly warmed
up fought desperately to stem the tide
of defeat. Gibbons met him half way,
however, and the best the Chicago
boxer could get was an even break in
this round.

Mike increased his speed in the
sixth and scored the majority of effec-
tive blows. Mcfarland made strong

RAILROADS PUT
It UP TO AGENTS
Warned Against Illegal Liquor
Shipments-Old Days Have
Passed

Because of the Suit brought by the
state against the several railroad
companies operating in North Dakota
in which the shipment Of liquor to
blindpiggers is attacked, the railroads
have adopted stringent methods OF
dealing with liquor shipments, and are
pointing out to their agents in the
state the penalty in connection with
law violation. ....
Under the new order of things in
the state, the railroad agents no long
er are the agents of brewing com
panies, as in days gone by. There was
time in this state when breweries
made big shipments to the railroad
stations in the state, and under an
agreement with the agent, such liquor
was doled out to whoever might call
for it, the business being on a c. O.
d. basis.
Shus of the Supply.
Now this has all changed. North
Dakota is enforcing it's liquor legis-
lation severely in every section. 1t is
calling to its aid the federal statutes
and by this combination it expects
to be able to reach out in such a man.

ply of liquor to illegal venders of that

agent is made liable to prosecution
when he accepts liquor for shipment

knows such liquor is to be used for
illegal purposes Under the state law,
the railroad agent is liable if he de-
livers liquor to law violators.

called to it's aid the criminal features
of these measures, it has called up the
