DON'T FORGET THE HORSE!
There Was Another Hero in Wild
Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,
Reminds a Writer.

Paul Revere'S name was made i'm
mortal when he rode from Boston to
Lexington and Concord, warning the
patriots along the way of the British
approach, and his fame has been Sc
curely enshrined in the hearts of all
Americans.
Historians have hOnored themselves
In honoring him. Poets have found in
spiration in praising him. He is an
idol of childhood. an example in the
prime of manhood and sOlacing men,
DRY of old age.
How few characters loom up like
great peaks above the mountain ranges
of timei
And Paul Revere was one of these
He was one of the precious few great
enough to grasp an opportunity to do
an incalculable good to mankind.
But while we give deserved glory TO
Paul Revere, let us no longer forget
that there was another hero in that
wild midnight ride, says a writer in
the Christian Herald.
There was the horse.
ANY other horse might have done as
WE'LL" you think? Well, so might any
other man have done as well, perhaps.
So might we fiippantly disparage any
hero.
But the fact remains that it was Paul
Revere's horse that did it. And the
harder work fell on the horse. But for
the true horses faithfulness, Paul Re-
we're would have been a failure.

ALEX|EFF RESIGNS
AS CHIEF OF STAFF
HEAD OF RUSSIAN ARMIES QUITS
TO GIVE PREMIER FREE HAND
WITH NEW CABINET.
DISAGREES WITH kERENSKY

Petrograd.-The resignation of Gen
eral Alexieff as chief of the general
staff has been followed by the appoint
ment in his place of M. Tcheremisoff.
whose predictions are highly demo.
cratic. The appointment of M. Tchere'
misoff is the signal for drastic re
forms, but the immediate motive for q
change in the incumbency of the post
is not publicly known.
One reason is that General Alexiefi
resigned in order to free the hands OF
Premier Kerensky, with whom he con.
sented to take the post on the conli.
ton that the new cabinet would be a
coalition one, and which condition Pre-.
mier Kerensky failed to bring about,
Another explanation is that General
Alexieff was not in agreement with
the premier regarding the latter's plans
for clearing out the higher staff and
effecting a general reorganization, Ke.

Premier Kerensky's policy will be

WORDS OF LUxBURG
GERMAN FOREIGN SECRETARY
SAYS Won LUxBURG ACTED
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
DENIAL MAY PREVENT WAR
Argentina Chamber Of Deputies Was
In Session and Prepared To De-
clare War On Redistribution
Action Is Expected.

Buenos Aires, Argentina (via Gal
weston, Tex.)-The government here
has received a dispatch from it's lega,
ton in Berlin in which Germany Off
cially expressed her disapproval of the
actions of Count Won Luxburg in rec
ommending that Argentina's vessels be
sunk without leaving a trace of them.
The dispatch was from the minister OF
the Argentine Republic in Berlin and
was received by Senior don Honorio
Pueyrredon, minister for foreign af-
fairs. The dispatch was dated at Ber-
lin.
Referring to my dispatch No. 149,
DR.. Won Kuhlmann, German foreign
day from Munich, has handed to me to-
day the following reply to our note:
Acknowledging your note dated
Sept IA, in which was contained the
announcement that Count Won Luxburg
no longer is persona grata to the gov
eminent of Argentina, have the hon.
or to state that the imperial German
government greatly deplores the
events which have occurred and that
it absolutely and unequivocally disap-
proves the ideas expressed by Count
ron Luxburg in the dispatches which
were published by our enemies with
regard to the form for carrying on
our cruiser warfare.
"'These ideas we're purely his own.
They had not, and will not, have any
influence on the decisions or on the as
surances of the imperial German gov
eminent"
In his dispatch to Senior Pueyrredon,
Senior Molina, Argentina's minister 90
Berlin, said that DR.. Won Kuhlmann
went to great length to signify his gov
ernment's rejection of the Won Lux
burg dispatches. Senior Molina added
that the German press was unanimous
in its condemnation of Count Won Lux
burg's conduct.
Senior Pueyrredon, Immediately on
receipt of this dispatch from Senior
Molina, fastened to the chamber OF
deputies to place it before that body.
The session, however, was temporarily
suspended, and the deputies were leav'
ing the chamber when Senior Pueyrre-
don arrived there.
Many deputies remained to hear
what he had to say. Later Senior Acre,
one of the leaders in the chamber OF
deputies. declared that the dispatch
IN no way modified the situation. De-
spite this statement by him, 1t ap-
peared that among certain deputies
the disapproval by DR.. Won Kohlmann
was not without at least some effect.

BRITISH TAKE WIDE
FRONT IN FLANDERS
GEN. hAiG DELIVERS TELLING
BLOW TO THE TEUTONS FROM
BELGIUM DETECTIVES.
REACH THE zONNEBEKE LINE.

London.-Three thousand prisoners
have been captured by the British, ac-
cording to the official report on the
Flanders drive.
Field Marshal Haig's official report
says that North Country and Austral-
ian battalions penetrated the German
positions in the center to depth OF
over a mile and captured the whole OF
their detectives. These included Ham
let, Veldhoek and the western portion
of Polyson wood. Further north Zev-
enkote was captured and also a few
guns.
From the first moment of going over
the top of the assault proceeded with
marked success, especially in the cru
cial sector between the Ypres-Roulers
railway and Hellebeke, where the Brit
ish had forced their way forward over
marshy ground and through woods
filed with machine guns to consid-
cradle depth and were continuing the
bitter fight in the neighborhood of the
famous Inverness Copse, Nuns wood
and Glencorse wood, where SO much
blood has been shed since the allies
began the battle of Flanders on July 81.
If the attacking forces maintain the
positions to which they have advanced
in this section they will have accom-
plished one of the most remarkable
and most important achievements IN
recent months. The German infantry
made the most determined resistance
in their attempt to regain this vital
ground and their artillery retaliated
heavily agains the British big guns.
This phase of the battle of Flanders
bids fair to become known as the bat
tie of Menin road, because 1t centers
in the territory astride the Menin rad.
The infantry advance was. preceded
by a barrage of greater depth than
ever before witnessed. Five distinct
barrages, in fact, were dropped ahead
of the men as they made their jour-
ney into this difficult terrain. The tre-
mendous curtain of bursting steel did
its work we'll and the troops pushed
forward rapidly toward their object
ives.
