WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Nov. Special: The
Austro-Germans and Bulgarians are
continuing their pressure against the
Serbians from three directions in the
north, and everywhere are gaining
ground, according TO their reports,
but the Serbians are still fighting
desperately to hold them back until
aid arrives from the south.
While the exact situation down
near the Greek border, where the
Anglo-French forces and the Serbians
are opposing the Bulgarians is not
known, unofficial reports have it that
the French have occupied Strumitza
and advanced about twenty miles in
to Bulgarian territory. The Bulga-
rians, on the other hand. are said to
have recaptured veles. on the rail
road to the south of Uskup, from the
Serbs.
Several trenches have been taken
from the Germans in the contest for
the LaCourtine salient positions in
Champagne still occupied by the leu
tons, where continuous fighting is
going on with the French forces. Ar
tillery duels have predominated on
the rest of the line in France and
Belgium.
In the east, the operations of the
Germans for Dvinsk and Riga are
still in progress, but, according to
both Petrograd and Vienna, there is
no change in the situation here or at
any point along the front from the
Baltic to Bukowina.
The Italians continue their violent
attacks against the Gorilla bridge
head, infantry assaults being pre-
ceded by artillery preparations. The
Austrians claim to have repulsed the
Italians on the whole front here.
Japan has become a party to the
agreement entered into by Great
Britain, France, Russia and Italy not
to conclude a separate peace.
A coalition cabinet has been form
ed in France to take the place of the
ministry of Premier Viviani, which
resigned.

so certified over by the county treas
urer to the sheriff to be collected un-
less specially ordered by the board
of county commissioners; third, after
the return of the sheriff's list on the
last day of September, the county
treasurer should advertise such taxes
against any land upon which same
are a lien, and may use the remedy
by action in the circuit court if that
remedy seems most available"
The 1915 act provides a new meth
cd of collecting delinquent personal
property taxes. The former powers
of distress and sale, vested in the
treasurer under the political code,
have been transferred to the sheriff
with a view of giving the sheriff the
exclusive power TO enforce the collec-
ton of such taxes while the list re
mains in his hands. 1t was urged
that this method would expedite col
lection by making it worth while for
the sheriff to give particular atten-
ton to the work. 1t is. in fact, in
tended as a big source of additional
event to such officials.
The sheriff is required TO return
the list of delinquent personal prop
erty taxes on the last day of Septem-
Der of the next year. together with
the statement of the condition of the
list. The county treasurer then re
ports to the board of county commits
sioners. The board may order any
of such taxes placed ION a list of
taxes that cannot be collected" or
may order the county treasurer to
again proceed to collect the same. 1t
then becomes the duty of the county
treasurer to proceed further to col
lect such taxes. The attorney gem
eral says of this:
This language would TO i'm
ply that the board of county COM
missioners may order any of the
taxes of the preceding year. uncol-
lected, to be again certified over to
the sheriff. In the absence of such
an order from the county board de-
linquent personal property taxes Of
the preceding year should lot be
certified again to the sheriff"

Halloween was. observed in Madi-

manner, there being several parties
OF ghostly sort and there we're also
an unusual number of promenaders
in costume on the streets in the
evening. The heathenish custom of
destroying property and annoying
people is becoming less every year.
Madison won honors on the
football field Saturday, both the
State Normal and the Madison
high school teams defeating their ad-
versaries. In the game at Athletic
park in this city the State Normal
team defeated the Flandreau Indians
by a score of AS to O., and the high
school team at DeSmet won out by a
o of II to o.
The possibilities of the automobile
is unlimited. p. j. Heagney, who
will occupy the j. K. Rose farm
eight miles northwest of the city, has
attached a trailer to his auto and is
making moving a joy ride. This
forenoon he passed through Egan
avenue en- route to the farm carrying
a horse in the trailer, the animal ap-
p%arently enjoying the modern method
of transportation.
The breaking of a primary wire in
East Tenth street caused a cessation
of lighting service in the residence
section about 6 O'Clock Saturday
evening, but thanks to the hustling
work of Supt. Rafferty, darkness pre-
vailed only ten minutes when the
break vas repaired and service re-
sumed. Water service was suspend
ed from IL O'Clock Saturday night
until IL o'clock yesterday to enable
Supt. Rafferty, to make water connec-
ton with the new schoolhouse and
install hydrants at the schoolhouse
and also in East Eighth street. Due
notice was given of the interruption
of water service and little i%nconven-
fence was experienced by patrons.
A large bunch of harvest working
men changed cars at the depot this
morning, returned to their homes or
en- TO warmer localities, per
haps fearing the approach of the
South Dakota winter. While the men
were clad in their working clothes ii
was noticeable that most of them
wore new shoes. The footwear was
not of the latest models, but had APP
parently been selected from the SO
cent counter and comprised all sizes,
shapes and colors. Since the work of
corn husking in the northwest this
year is of little account the demand
for help among the farmers is small
and workingmen are leaving the
country earlier than usual.

BIG FOOTBALL GAMES
NOTRE DAME DEFEATS SOUTH
DAKOTA UTE BETWEEN
NORTH DAKOTA U AND
STATE COLLEGE.

Notre Dame, Ind, Nov. 1.-Notre
Dame defeated South Dakota, 6 to O.,
in a hard fought game here Satur-
day. Four substitutes were used by
Notre Dame in the first half, but reg
ulars were played throughout the
second half. The only touchdown of
the game IA scored in the third
quarter, when Bergman circled left
end on a criss-cross play for fifteen
yards and a touchdown. Hansen and
Duncan, South Dakota ends, broke
up most of Notre DANES end runs.
Miller, fullback, starred with line
plunges for Notre Dame. South Da-
kota did not seriously threaten Notre
Danes goal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 1.-The
South Dakota State college and North
Dakota university football teams bat
tied to a 0 to 0 score here Saturday
afternoon. Each team was within
easy striking distance of the goal sew
eral times, but each lacked the punch
to put the ball across. Once South
Dakota had a touchdown within it's
idSp, Dul ohlhHcI AuiIDl6u Dis uS was
crossing the goal line and North Da-
kota recovered the ball. After that
the Aggies did not threaten.
Once before, early in the game,
Skinner intercepted a forward pass
and raced to the very shadow of the
Flickertail goal. 1t looked like a
touchdown, but Mckay made a bril-
liant tackle and a moment later kick
ed the ball out of danger.
