Washington, Oct. 16.-With the an
nouncement that the army and navy
program has been approved by Pres
ident Wilson, the opening gun was
fired in what Is expected to be the bit
terest congressional fight in recent
years.
1t Is already certain that party lines

Bryan Is expected to lead the fight

day that the expenditure of so large a
sum encouraged the military spirit
cultivated international hatreds and
tended toward the .swagger Of the pis-

LATEST WAR REPORTS.
NEWS OF FIGHTING FROM EV.
ERY FRONT.
No Indication of Victories Which
Might Sway Tide of FOrtunc-Tcu-
tons Proceeding MethOdicaIly With
Balkan Campaign, Though ut Heavy
Cost.

London, Oct. 15.-Great Britain has
declared war on Bulgaria, and from
all the main battle fronts comes news
of continued fighting, but there are
no indications of victories which
would change the general situation.
The Austria MS, Germans and Bull
garians are proceeding methodically
with their invasion Of Servia, which.
according to neutral reports, is costing
them a heavy loss of life, as the hard
ened veterans of Servia are taking
every advantage of the difficult coun-
try.
The Germans have occupied Poza-
revac, southeast of Semendria, and
claim their campaign is proceeding
according to their plans. The entente
allies are perfecting their prepara-
tions to assist the Servians and every
day additional troops are landed at
Saloniki, where the French Gen. Sar-
rail has taken command of the allied
forces. What steps Russia and Italy
have taken to assist have not de-
velopcd.
Except for Great Britain's formal
declaration of war on Bulgaria the
political situation remains unchang-
led. Greece has announced formally
that she will not intervene in behalf
of Servia "at present" and Roumania,
although urged by Germany definitely
to define her position, has made no
move.
| Along the western front there have
been heavy attacks by both sides, but
gains and losses are described as of
little Importance. In the East the
Russians have turned to the offensive
in the region of Dvinsk, and although
the Germans claim to have repulsed
most of the Muscovite attacks, they
admit the Russians penetrated their
line at one point.
| Except for the hostilities in this
region, things are somewhat calmer
in the East, Lieut.. Gen. Ivanoff. the
Russian commander, after his victory
in Galicia and the subsequent check

100000 pounds. l..i |
Up to the end of September the to-
bacco producers had received for the
1915 crop $2,760,9S2.1S, which is a de-
crease of s1,21S,321. as compared
to the total receipts for the 1914
crop. The sum received by the pro-
ducer this year is just about the same
thatw as received in 1912 for the "a
800, ,OOO-pound crop. The average
price paid this season up to the end of
september was 7.2Sc per pound, the
llowcst price that tobacco has brought
since the department of agriculture
began the keeping of the official rec
lords, seven years ago. The lowest av-
lerage price heretofore was S.35 in the
season of 1909. The largest amount
during the nine years that the pro-

rogant manner W calm and courteous and all pub
shed at the me and says that for that he did deserve
such hearing the council gave him. and expresses the opinion
that if he did such thing again with any future council he would
deserve to be kicked out into the street."
Is it indeed that the council advised to treat
citizen that way when he rises and asks permission speak, and
then when he accorded the floor addresses them calmly and
eousy and all their various questions promptly and sub
mts the proofs tells them what book public record look
into to behold the proof and they finally ncd and unable
reply; is then that they would kick him into the street
would they do when asked permission address hem
We do think Mr.. Youne voiced the sentiment of the
council when he those lines neither do think he

OF men and rough deal started against anyone his
he would take determined stand for peace and fair play
