ASSOCIATED Press Summary

ASSOCIATED Press Summary
In an effort to regain in part theil
lost territory, the Germans on Wed
nesday, despite the bad weather, made
violent counter attacks against the
French over three-mile front near
Priez farm and Bouchavesnes, in mass
formation.
The Teutons threw attack after at
tack along the line from a. m. until
dark, and at the end of the day the
French were everywhere holding their
positions, according to Paris, and the
battlefield at many points was covered
with German dead.
During the fighting, the Germans
penetrated the northwest part OF
Pouchavesnes, but here the French
made exceptionally desperate assaults
with the bayonet and forced the Ger
nans back upon their own trenches.
Four assaults at the Priez farm were
repulsed by the French, who held
firmly their positions, and the Ger
mans at last withdrew in disorder,
leaving many dead on the field
On the British front, the continu-
hnce of the inclement weather still
holds both sides to artillery duels.
In the eastern theatre, both Berlin
hnd Vienna report the repulse of
heavy Russian attacks in the Lutsk

Commissioners Will Not
Discuss Peace Plan Until
Official News Received.
AMERICANS SUBMIT
REPUTTAL EVIDENCE
United STATES commissioners Present
Documents Tending to Show That
Evidence Presented by MeXicanS
Not Conclusive.

New London, Conn, Sept. 20-Un-
til official accounts of the reported
attack on Chihuahua. City, Mexico, by
Villa forces is received by the Amer
lean Mexican joint commission. its
members will not enter into any
agreement to plan for the mainten-
ance Of peace on the border, it was
learned tonight.
The American commissioners con-
ferred at length today with Counsel
lor Polk of the statedepartment.
Prior to the conference the Ameri-
can commissioners spread before the
Mexican delegates a mass of docu-
mentayy evidence relating to condi-
tions in Mexico. The submission of
the information in possession Of the
Americans was somewhat in the ma
ture OF rebuttal to the informatio nof-
fered by the Mexicans, which has
been OF character calculated to show
a rapidly recovering country and to
offset stories that credited the gov
ernment authorities in various local
tiles with lack of control and ineffici-
ency.
The details OF the evidence submit
ted by the American commissioners
were not revealed but it is known
that they covered a wide range, and
dealt with social, economic and health
conditions, and indicated the per-
valence at various places of typhu
fever and other diseases.
AS yet no direct demand or request
for the withdrawal of the American
troops has been made by the Mexi-
cans, the conferecs tactily agreeing
that the question of their withdrawal
is incident to the adoption of recon-
mendations for seine broader plan of
meeting border problems.

OBITUARY

Edgar Leeander Wood was born in
Green County, Illinois, May 10, 1860,
and died in Wichita, March 3, 1916, at
the age of So years and 10 months. He
had been feeling badly for about a week
but not confined to his bed. On Thurs
day evening he spoke of feeling better
than he had felt for some time. He ate
"a fairly good supper and seemingly
rested quite well during the night In
the early morning he spoke to his wife
and asked her if she had rested well
during the night. In answering she
noticed he was breathing badly. In
about ten minutes from that time, he
was gone.
Funeral services were held Sunday,
March 5th, from the Methodist church
in Kingman, Kansas, near the home OF
his daughter, Mrs. George Bobst; he
having united with the Methodist church
at Salina, twenty years ago. Rev.
Benson, of Belmont, conducted the ser
vices. He was laid to rest in the King
man cemetery. He leaves to mourn mis-
loss, his wife, one daughter and two
sons, besides three brothers and one
sister, all of whom were present except
one brother who was in Billings, Nor
tana, and couldn't be at the funeral
He also leaves a host of friends to
mourn his loss. The floral tributes
from friends, relatives and organiza-
tions, were beautiful. He has been
travelling salesman for the Garden City
Seeder Company, and was at one time
travelling salesman for the Port Huron
Company.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Noble and chill
dren attended the funeral. Mr.. Wood
was in Hays a few days before his
death and met many of his old time
neighbors and friends.
