The Mahaska county association

has other property, to any extent,

IOWA FIRE PREVENTION DAY
Governor Clarke viii Issue PROCLAIM
alton For October g For State
Wide Observance.

! Des Moines, Sept. 13.-Fire preven'
ton day will be observed in Iowa on
Oct. 8. Governor Clarke will issue a
proclamation, at the request of O. O.
Roe, state fire marshal, calling atten.
tion to the day.
For a number of years the state
fire marshal has carried on a cam.
paign of fire prevention. BY setting
aside day on which special educa.
tional programs are given he has
found that the public has been TAX
ing growing interest in eliminating
| the great waste by fire.
This year the department hopes to
get commercial. clubs and business
mems organizations to take part in
the fire prevention day exercises. In
many smaller communities boosters
already have declared that not only
will exercises be held, but that bust
ness operations viii be suspended
during certain hours of the day to
give everyone an opportunity to at.
tend.
The state fire marshal will send out
fire prevention literature for use in
tiiV SChooio' Ha-- ilS o'SSSl 70 tleI inc III
struction given to youngsters by the
teachers is of immense value. ~
Iowa has made a creditable show.
ing In 1915 in reduction of fire loss.
But during the year there have been
"a number of accidents due to the
careless handling of gasoline. Many
housewives and children have lost
their lives through efforts to start
fires in stoves by the use OF gaso,
line. .,
1t appears that the 1915 record Of
fire tragedies will be but slight i'm
proyement over that Of 1914. This Is
one of the main reasons behind the
movement of the state fire marshal
for education along the line of fire
prevention.

100000 MEN FALL
IN THE ARGONNE
LOSS IS EQUAL BETWEEN GER
Auirlu
MANS AND FRENCH en-
FRENCH TRENCHES PENETRATED
To the North Of Arras There Was In
cessant Bomb and Grenade Fight
ng-6ombardmen of Most
Violent Character.

Paris, Sept 13.-The crown princes
army has lost more than 100000 men
in successive attempts to break
through the French lines west of Yer
dun, 1t was officially estimated.
After his repeated reverses of last
month the crown prince tried to OBJ
tain an important success in the Ar
come on Wednesday and also on the
following night. But despite the semi
official German dispatches, these eff.
forts, made with large forces and sup
ported by many guns, failed OF appre-
ciable results .... .i.'@
1t Is officially admitted, however,
that the French losses In this weeks
fighting were about as heavy as those
suffered by the crown prince.
An official review of the fighting In
the western Argonne was given out.
supplementary to the daily communi.
cation. This review admits that in
his attacks on Wednesday and Thurs
day the crown prince penetrated the
French trenches on front of two
thirds of a mile, but declares that the
German losses were out of comparison
to. the ground gained. E -
Since the crown princes army be-
gan its attempts against the French
lines in the Argonne, 1t has not OBJ
tanned single strategicaliy important
result" said the official review. ''.'
an one year a single German army
corps has lost over 10000 men The
crown princes army altogether has
lost more thin 100000 men.
Tho Germans penetrated the
French trenches only at points on a
two.thirds of mile front, but were
Immediately blocked In vain they at
tempted to renew the attack. The sit
uation in that region Is practically I'M
changed, though the cost to the Ger
man troops were at least as heavy as
to the French"
Paris, Sept. 13.-The war Office gave
out the following official statement:
TO the north of Arras in the sector
of Melville there was incessant bomb
and grenade. fighting with cannonad-
ing by both sides. There was bonn
bardment of the most violent char
acter to the south of Scarpe, in the re.
gion of Roye and to the north of the
Aisne between Palsy and Craonne-
vile.
"A fresh German attack against our
advance posts at Spigneeul was re-
pulsed.
South Of Leintrey our artillery op-
Grated effectively against the posi-
tions of the Germans. An assault I'M
dertaken by the Germans was imme-
diately checked by our artillery and
infantry fire.
There is nothing to report from
the rest of the front.
German aeroplanes dropped few
bombs in Compiegne. Our aeroplanes
bombarded effectively aeroplane sheds
