ALL THE COUNTER
ATTACKS REPULSED
EVENTS FREIGHT
EN- GERMANS AS NERVOUS
SMELLING INDICATES.

New York, Oct, 2-The extreme
nervousness over the approaching
events pervades the entire German
front in Flanders, is plainly shown
by the infantry attacks conducted by
Crown Prince Rupprechts forces.
Storming waves of great strength
are hourly made by the Germans along
the Ypres salient in vain effort to
retake former positions of vantage
The French and Germans are also
engaging in violent artillery duels
along the Aisne and Verdun sector.
In Riga the Russians continue on
the offensive against the invaders ana
gained considerable ground on last
Sunday and Monday
The British victory at Mespotamia
provedayery much greater than was
first reported. They captured more
than 1000 Turks, among many guns
and valuable stores
Although German military writer's
admit that Germany Can hardly re
gain the initiative on the west front

British from the best use Of their
advantages in Flanders. Apparently
fearing the next stroke, the Germans

their plans. Similar tactics were re-
ported last week before the big Brit
ish drive. The Germans efforts last
week were futile, but it is too early
to ascertain the effect of the present
attacks The British commander

While the whole German line il
Flanders is hanging in the balance
as the map shows, there is small sur
! prise that the Germans are fighting
desperately to protect the important
Lille-Ostend railroad.
The French are holding themselves
in restraint in northern France while
beating off repeated German attacks.
While the British press is demand
ing reprisals for air raids, the French
are taking such action. They bonn
barded cities 100 to 1876 miles behind
the lines, in retaliation for the bomb

OlneY Grange.

At the February meeting of 0lney Grange
there was much social intercourse and
most instructive and interesting program
for the lecturers hour.
The executive committee having decided
on the merits of the samples of clover seed
submitted, their recommendation was &C.
cepted. and the list. which amounts to
several hundred dollars worth, was opened
with large order by one of our leading
farmers.
This is the month when garden seed
lists, too. are made up and sent to one Of
the well-known seedmen with whom Olney
has dealt for years.
There were seven new applications for
membership, which. with five last month.
will make large class to come up for ini
tiation in March.
The entertainment for the evening was
managed by the new lecturer. Mrs. Fred
J. Van Hoesen. who had asked DR.. A. A.
Brigham. ex-Massac State Master,
to speak on Some Legislative Measures Of
Interest to the Grange.
Olney Grange is fortunate in having DIR.
Brigham for member. He has wealth
Of information. which is ours for the ask
ing. and the hope was expressed that he
would continue to give US talks from time
to time on these legislative matters which
are Of such vital importance.
Before introducing Mr.. Ralston, who had
been asked to come to this meeting and
address the grange on Single Tax" Messrs.
Broadly. Barnsley. Snowden and Bentley
sang acceptably. Mr.. Ralston cleared the
clouds which to many obscured the sub
ject. and made himself ineligible. He
expressed willingness to answer ques-
tons. and some were asked him. but owing
to the lateness Of the hour, there was not
as much discussion as would have been
profitable.
Single Tax and the Torrents System Of
Land Titles and Registration are two Of
the many problems which are receiving
thoughtful consideration Of the grange
throughout the land.

comment on the aforementioned reduc-

ut has immemorially been one Of the
greatest grievances Of the campaigning
horseman that hei charged extortionate
shipping rates by the railroads. That this
Grievance has been actual and not fanciful is
only too well known and generally admitted
Repeated efforts toward It's amelioration
have been made. but none Of them have
succeeded until the one initiated by the
National Society Of Record Associations.
This organization includes practically every
important breeders association OF the
country-with the exception Of our own
two supposedly representative breeding
organizations. the American Trotting Reg
lister Association and the American Asso-
citation Of Trotting Horse Breeders. To our
certain knowledge. both these oreaniza-
tons were urgently solicited to join the
National Society. but could not be induced
to do so. They also refused to donate a
dollar to the fund being subscribed for
the purpose Of securing remediation Ieeis-
lation.
AT any rate, without the aid Of any
trottins organization. the National Society
Of Record Associations has been largely
instrumental in the enactment Of the new
regulations from which trottlns horsemen
