Rights Of AutOmObilists
Under City Ordinances

Possibly the average storekeeper or
housekeeper or those who haven It
either may have wondered just what
right has any one to drive an auto
mobile in front of the premises and
leave it there.
Well, to be brief about it, the city
ordinances say no one has any such
right and if such happens to be the
ease, the police may be called and the
owner of the car ordered to remove
to another location. If the owner of
the car refues to move, the police may
come along and fine of 50 may be
assessed as minimum, and if the own
er of the ear is ugly about it, the fine
may be raised to $25, or Imprisonment
in Jail at the rate of one day for each
50 worth of fine.
Ordinance No. 1439, section 2, reads
as follows:
st shall be unlawful for the own
er or driver of any vehicle described
in section ! hereof, to use the street
in front of any business house or
dwelling as a stand or place of rem
desvous or resort, without the written
permission of the owner, agent or ten
ant of such business house or dwell
ing
So there you have it. One can kick
on a car backing up in front of
business house or dwelling just as
nice parking place and the law Will
back up the kick.

GERMANY BLUFFING
ABOUT EXTENSION Of
THE SUBMARINE Zone
That Is England,s View Of
Threat to Include American
Waters In Operations
By Ed Il. Keen

Omitted Press staff cOrreSpOndent)
London, Oct. 1S.--Germany is bluff
ing again, according to London S in
terpretation today Of American reports
of German wireless messages limiting
at inclusion of American waters in the
submarine zone.
The belief of authoritative leaders
expressed to the United Press was that
if Germany actually did proclaim AM
erica within the zone of her ruthless
ness, she would be unable effectually
to carry out any submarine war there.
Il was admitted she might send few
submarines to the American coast and
at the most might plant few mines.
But Germany is already using her
submarines to their fullest capacity
trying to starve out England More
over, long ago she started out to dis
regard her zone limitations.
Even if Germany should include Am
erica in her zone of U-boat operations
leading authorities were a unit in de-
claring such step could not in any
way affect the naval transport situa-
tion.
Satisfaction was expressed today ov-
er the continued decrease in the Ger
mans submarine effectiveness, as
shown in tn weekly statement of Brit
ish shipping losses. Only twelve ships
of more than 1900 tons were sunk; ac-
cording to admiralty announcement.
Efforts of the German submarine ad-
vocates to explain the steadily drop
ping effectiveness of the submarines
furnished amusement here today,
Count Zu Reventlow, foremost support.
er of ruthlessness, in recent article in
the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, seeks to
explain away the matter by the excuse
that ships are being held out of ocean
service for special reasons and that
changes are constantly being made in
shipping routes. He quoted "an Amer
lean source of authority" for the state
ment that the trip between England
and the United States now often takes
three weeks or more.

AMERICAN DESTROYER
CRIPPLED BY BOMB
AND ONE lice LOST
First Casualty Reported In
Navy Since War with Ger
many Declared

Washington, Oct. Is. = The 'first
American destroyer victim of q Ger
man U-boat lies crippled today in an
European harbor, while ,one pf her
crew is dead and five others are slight,
ly injured.
The dead man, Osmond X. Ingram
gunner s mate of Pratt City, Ala, is
the seventeenth navy man whose life
has been taken by the Huns since war
started.
Navy authorities here regarded to-
day as remarkable the fact that the
vessel had merely been crippled when
once it came within line of the torpo-
do fire. They explained the escape as
probably due to the fact that the sub.
marine aim was impaired by the speed
and quick maneuvering of the destroy
er. American "luck" and gameness
were commented upon.
While the navy withholds other than
the mere fact that the vessel was tor
pedoed and made port, it is assumed
that she can be repaired and that she
will be back on duty within short
time.
The wounded men are:
Herman II. Pankratz, st. Louis.
William r. Merritt, New York.
Frank w. Kruse, Toledo.
Patrick Rutledge, New York.

New York, Oct. 1S.-From now until

WAR ON THE WEST FRONT
ENTERING A NEW PHASE
AND PROBABLYITS LAST

ed his once precious trenches, now be-
come a hell hole Uttered with purifying
corpses of German youths.
Hindenburg' next step was observed
during the battle of Arras in April. His
trenches were still there, but now thin
ly manned. The bulk of troops were
kept in support trenches hundreds of
yards behind.
But his plan was still faulty and
later, at Messines, in June, German
troops were more widely scattered. Ma
chine guns were no longer fired from
trenches, but from special, isolated
posts. Also trench mortars. And special
ly trained counter attacking troops
were held in readiness to charge the
tired British as soon as objectives had
been won.
But the British got on just the same
and Hindenburg began to lose faith in
trenches. July 81, beginning the bat
tie of Flanders, found the Germans
still differently disposed.
They were occupying not trenches so
much as concrete she'll hoes, two OF
three linked together with short tun-
nels. "Pill boxes steel and concrete
turrets whose mud-covered togs were
Just above the ground-made their de-
but and from the narrow Sits machine
guns spat over the Flemish quagmires
These shell hole positions and pill boxes
with scraps of trenches few yards
long, plus patches Of barbed. wire en-
tanglements here and there, covered an
area a mile or so in depth and such
"a thing as a fire trench had ceased to
exist.
The idea, of course, as British Off
GERS explained it today, was to make it
necessary for the British to fire a mil
lion rounds of shells to kill a dozen
men. The shell holes and pill boxe tops
were well nigh invisible from the air
and only direct hit sufficed to put
them out OF commission. Then when
Tommies advanced they would come
across an unsuspected bit OF barbed
wire enfiladed by machine gun fire. Fin
ally, after crossing such zone as this,
they would meet fresh troops in a ter
rifle counter er-attaek.
The plan worked only partially. Then
came the battle of Menin road, when
the, unheard-of creeping barrage used
by the British took the fight out of
even the pill boxes. The, rain of shells
! flattened everything. Likewise, the
same terrible curtain of fire often wip-
ed out German counter attacking troops
before they got started.
Such is the fighting today.
1t is now Hindenburg's move.

Petrograd, Oct. 18.-One Russian

said everything of military value had
been destroyed before the Russians
were forced back.
"Our ships defended for consider

the Riga gulf, I" the war office stated,
"and only severe damage caused by
dreadnaughts forced us to retire to

''The Slava was sunk by hits below
the water line and nearly all of her
crew was saved.
"Oesel is completely occupied by the
enemy, but before our retreat every

The German fleet, which forced the
Russian warships to withdraw, was q

declared. Fifty-five ships were seen
at one time.

included two dreadnoughts Of the Gros-

With the British Armies in Flanders
Oct. lS.-The war on the western front
today has entered a new phase-and
probably its last.
The fighting there is as different now
from what it was in 1914 and 1915 as
it could possibly be.
First, there was open warfare-when
the Germans swept over Belgium and
) sance. Second, there came trench fight
3, which slowly developed until the
caking of single trench was an oper-
alton as big as Waterloo. Now one sees
practically open country battles, with
the enemy engaging in a sort of rear
guard action which, when fully expand
ed will mean Prussian rout.
Only the sudden collapse of hostilities
can prevent this curtain on the kaiser Is

Not since the crown prince broke
his eaglet feathers against Verdun more

mics dared real offensive on the west.

The Somme battles were a series of
storming operations-the taking of
trench systems that stretched for miles
inveritable mazes of supporting cuts and
channels. So long as Hindenburg be-
lieved he might still break through the
allies lines he continued this trench
warfare. He kept his front lines full
of men. Tens of thousands of his troops
were killed befofe he awoke to the
realization that he was losing his punch,
Hindenburg dug the trenches and dug
out deeper and deeper, often fifty feet
below ground. But his men still died
like rats in traps when British Tom
mics threw bombs down the dugout
openings or rolled charges of high ex-
plosives down the almost perpendicular
stairs.
In the fire trenches, where linden
burg kept troops standing shoulder to
shoulder to repel attacks, allied shells
tore whole companies to shreds. While
the great German tactician blundered
on British and French guns thundered
