PARIS, Oct. 2.-The rea-
son for the recent Russian
retreats is explained by the
allies present gigantic drive.
Simply by retiring far in
to their own country the
Russians have drawn the
eastern armies of the kaiser
into a position where they
cannot WITHOUT GREAT
DANGER rush back east to
relieve the tottering lines in
northern France!
Every time a forward move
ment was undertaken by the Ger
mans in the west, the Russian
"hordes" dropped down from the
east on the weakened German
forces.
Straightway the Teutonic ad-
vance in France and Flanders
would be halted and troops would
be rushed posthaste back across
Germany in special trains to the
Russian frontier, there to stem
the Russian advance, and as soon
as their numbers were superior,
to push the Muscovites back
across the border.
How Hindenberg Won
That was where Won linden
burg shone-with sudden aug
mented armies and his wizard
knowledge of the Mazurian
swamps, he was thus enabled to
win his first great victory, Tan
nenburg, with men freshly for
warded from the fields of France.
With the tension on the allied
lines lightened, the French and
British, recovering their ginger,
would then start a counter at
tack on the Teutonic lines in
France, but before they could get
very far the Germans, having
stopped the Slav menace in the
east, would BIO upon them again.
Thus for months was every move
of each ally blocked and check
mated by the superior mobility of
the Germans.
when lvangorod Tell, and then
Warsaw, and then Novogeorgicvsk
the military critics kept asking.
when will the French and
British advance?"
1t was the logical thing for them
to do-they might have saved the
Polish capital by an attack on the
Germans at the proper time. But
there was no allied. advance.
Then there were circulated sur
reptitiously rumors that all was
not we'll with the allies-that
there was discord between the
French and British--that. the
armies in the west were perma-
nently deadlocked and the allies
would listen to peace proposals
from Germany on Gerpany's
terms. Some of these rumors
were passed by the censors.
Sacrifice TO Strategy.
1t is plain, from the results OF
the allies western drive, that the
trick succeeded, for had not the
main German armies been en-
gagged fer In Russia and others

Berlin today reports taking

ICES the allies losses as "enorm-
GUS"
Paris claims 200 guns as booty.
The net results of the week, as
CLEANED from the official state
ments, are:
Both Made Progress.
First-The British gained on a
five-mile front, completely oc-
cupying Loos and important posi-
lions near Lens. North of Loos
their advance has been halted.
Second-The French captured
Souchez and Vimy heights and
are now continuing their progress
in the Vimy region southwest of
Lens. Strong counter-attacks
failed to regain ground lost by
the Germans.
Draw Near to Railway.
Third-The French advanced a
mile or two on a 15-mile front
in Champagne. At some points
they are within two miles OF the
observation-disclosures railway
Heavy German reinforcements are
making vigorous counter attacks,
which have so far been checked
by the French.
Fourth-The German attempt
to halt the allies offensive in Ar
come failed.

Was RuSSia'S
Retreat Just
a Sacrificed

detached for the proposed "driv,
to Constantinople," the British
and French rush would have beer
checked in its incipiency.
AS it is, there were simply no
enough Germans in France t.
halt the dash of their opponents
and not enough Germans near a,
hand to reinforce the army Of
occupation.
And as for Russia-the
land of the Russians Is not
yet harmed. The provinces
which the Germans have
Overrun are inhabited by
Poles and Lithuanians, and
the Russian bureaucracy
pretends no love for these
subject peoples.
The Russian nation and
the Russian armies are In
tact. The alien but subject
border districts have been
offered as a sacrifice TO mill
tary strategy!

AT COLUMBUS
ARE SEEKING TUNGSTEN

Where for 80 years all you could
hear around Columbus was the far
away whistle of the train, now the
hills echo with the sound of the
pr%ospectors' hammers. They are
looking for tungsten, a metal that
was not known when the old camp
was first started. There are some
good prospects.
The copper properties are looking
we'll and with the advancement o.
work there is every indication thai
this is to be a big copper camp. The
Campo company is sinking a shaft as
fast as possible on a good vein and
is drifting north and south. taking
out some good ore. The company
has a team hauling ore to Rock Hill
switch near Redlick.
A California party has taken q
lease on the Little Wallace copper
lode of the Campo company and will
start development Thursday or Fri
day. Some fine ore is in sight tc
start with and the investors think
it will pay from the surface.

CHANGE IN rule
Of INDOOR GAME
STRESS LAID ON "PLAY THE
BALL; NOT THE MAN"

Basketball rules, which have been
recently issued, show many changes
which are expected to cause the MEM
bers of teams in any contest to play
the ball" and not the opposing play
er, as 80 often happens under the
rules in force previous to the issu-
ance of the book for 1856. It is
expected that the new rules will
take over much of the trough
house" which delays the game and
makes it rougher than football.
This will also enliven the game from
a spectators standpoint and will
make it more clean.
There is also q new ruling that
the ball may be shot for basket
after a dribble. This will put
special emphasis on the idea Of
playing the ball and not the man,
and when the referee awards the
ball to a player on the out-of-bound
rule, the opponent is prohibited
from delaying the play, SO that his
teammates may cover their op-
ponents. This will make for a
faster game and do away with many
unsportsmanlike features of the in
door game.
