TWO GREAT SIGNS

LONDON, Oct. 9, Delayed) Military men consider that the best news favorable to the Allies since the war began is the report that Russia has suddenly developed new offensive on the Riga front against the Teuons and that the Italians are driving wedge into the vitas of the AustIians on the Isonzo front
 Some of the military men here have claimed from the first that Gemanys weakest link was Austria and that combined attack against the Ausians would the most quickly open the road to Berlin
 Advices received here state that Germany has with drawn large numbers of troops from several fronts to meet the Italian attack and it is believed that this will be the signal for renewed activities on the part of the Allies against the Germans on the French and Belgium fronts

 It is surprising how ywo-bits added to each other amount up and the to- bacco fund is growing, not by any ex- ceptioual leaps and bounds, but slowly and surely. Seward is a big place and there are yet hundreds to be heard from and next week should see a large increase and greater enthusiasm shown in the tobocca fund. Just bear this in mind-tbis fund is to help those who cannot help themselves. The fund is for chewing and smoking tobacco and cigarettes for our boys in France.
 Some one will say perhaps they don't smoke or perhaps the boys don't chew. Granted this is right can't they swap2 One soldier might ante a plug of tobacco for a sack and a package of cigarette papers.
 But it is up to us here in Seward to see that they can have the swap pings and who will be the next to fall in line?
