WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN-Oct.

 The advance was made after brief artillery preparation. The enemys re- sponse was principally within machine guns, but during the fighting he shelled the back areas and threw a few six inchers into Nerdun.
 The artillery on both sides was active over the entire American front today. The Germans were unusually nervous owing to the activity of the Americans on both sides of the Mouse.
 Early this morning the American ar tillery laid down a barrage north of Bantheville, where the infantry occu- pied Grand Carre farm, and the ridge north of Bantheville, straddling the Freya line.

PETTYPO[|T|CS CONSUMES TIME
 OF J. ]. SENATE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Repub lican contentious that the third clause in President Wilson's l4 peace terms, providing for the removal of economic barriers is a free trade plank. fur nished the vehicle of a political debate in the senate today. Senator Thomas of Colorado insisted that the president merely meant there should be no pro hibitive or irritating tariffs. Senator Watson of Indiana, and other repub- licans, declared the republican party objected to fixing by peace treaty or any other treaty the domestic policy Of the United States.
 Senator Thomas referred to protests by Chairman Hays of the national re- publican committee and others, against contentious made by democratic lead CTS, that republican victory would be interpreted by the kaiser and our enemies abroad, as a repudiation Of President Wilson. Senator McCumber read extensive abstracts from speeches made by Colonel Roosevelt. former President Harrison and Senator Lodge in 1898, in which they urged the re- election of a republican congress to support President Mckinley, on the grounds that not to do would give cheer and comfort to Spain and would, in effect, be a repudiation of his con- duet of the war.
 Cleveland Destroyed His Party.
 If that was true in 1898, it is true in 191S," declared Senator Thomas. Tt is more eminently true, because the war is not over and because a con- parison between the wars makes the other one insignificant"

BRUTAL ORGIES
 HELD SWAY IN
 PT|vEBRUCES

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN BELGIUM, Oct 24.-CBy the Asso- ciated Press).-An inspection of nu- merous German posters in Belgium dscloses that wherever the death penalty for offenses by civilians was exacted, no signature was attached. It is therefore concluded that no German commander was willing to take any in dividual responsibility for such orders. possibly fearing consequences in the future.
 This was especially the case in Bruges. In addition to the visible exc cution. it was testified to by M. Echevin, one of the aldermen, who at tended the execution of Captain Fryatt, the master of the British steamer Brussels, as the representative of the city. The alderman said Captain Frtatt looked straight at his firing squad. An hour after his execution an order that he be not shot arrived from Germany. The alderman said that between 5000 and 10000 marks monthly were collected from citizens of Bruges as fines.
 Food condition during the German occupation, NJ. Echevin continued, were not bad, because the district is an agricultural one. There was no loot ing in the city before the Germans left. But there was no use for any footing for everything desired by the Germans, previously had been requisitioned, even pianos, pictures and frying pans The last company leaving the town destroyed everything the men could reach. They even went down the streets breaking windows with their rifle butts.
 Ordered Indoors 6 to 6.
 On october 1, according to the alder man, the Germans apparently feared outbreaks, for orders were posted all over the town inviting the people to remain quiet. adding that the least outbreak would be harshly dealt with Residents were ordered to remain in doors from o'clock at night until 6 o'clock in the morning. Those found in the streets between these times, who were without authorization, would be fired upon, the order added. An order issued about the same time provided the death penalty for even the posses sion of 8 telephone instrument in homes. During the entire period of occupation no newspapers but German organs and the Nieuwe Rotterdam Courant were permitted to be sold

TRepublican A. D. Leased wire1

LONDON, Oct. 24-The popular com- ment on the presidents note here is. that it contains the strongest language ever addressed by the head of one great nation to another in modern times. The note is welcomed, first, be- cause it brings matters to a new state: further proceedings, if there are to be further proceedings, will be in the hands of all the governments inter- eSted. Hitherto. so far as the public knows, the nations associated with the United States, and which have more at stake, perhaps than has the United States, have been onlookers to the cor respondence.
 The note is welcomed, secondly, be- cause it promises to bring the season of discussion to an end, altogether, one way or the other. No one sees how the German chancellor Prince Maximilian can fail, either to accept President Wilson's platform, or reject it, Accept ance will be taken to mean that the Germans regard their positions as hopeless and that disaster is imminent
 Germany Will Fight Alone The general opinion is that Ger many's military position is not so bad but that her leaders will fight on, ii only with the hope of creating divisions among the allies. which has been Ger many's reliance of late. ----sst. --s--

The resolution also called for the conclusion of a separate peace, dis solution of the alliance with Germany, acknowledgment of the independence of the south Slavonians and the prOcla- nation of a Hungarian king to reside in Budapest. Count Karolyi declared if the demands were resisted, he him self would take means to secure their realization.
 Amid great excitement Dr. Wekerlc, the premier, warmly replied that he would oppose by every means Count karolyi's threats of a revolution and added that there could be no talk of a separate peace.

MUSIC OF MARVELLOUS POWER
More Moving Than Any Sounds OF
Earth Are Those Heard in
Churches of Russia.

And what shall i say of the music
of Russian cathedral? There is no
organ and there are no female voices.
The chorus choirs are composed of
men carefully trained through a long
series of years. The Russians have
naturally rich, sonorous voices, and
their sacred music is inexpressibly
moving. At times soft and appealing,
at others weird minor strain, 1t not
infrequently swells into a volume of
almost overpowering majesty. i have
heard church music in many parts Of
the world, but such music nowhere
else. 1t voices the sadness and suffer-
ing, the implicit faith and the solemn
mission of a great people. More truly
than any other church music In the
world, it is the expression of the deep
er soul of a nation, elemental in its
moods of storm and tenderness, of
half-barbarous passion and of SUBJ
lime aspiration. Every time we heard
it we stood in silence and awe, con-
scious that the strings of our hearts
were being strangely swept and feel
ing as if we were in wide spaces under
the, open sky and in the presence of
Mount Sinai from which issued al
ternately the crashing thunder. the
blazing lightning, and then the muir
muring of trees and brooks, and the
still. small Voice. Was this mere emo

THIS WEEKS FOOD
FAIR PRICE LIST
Food Administrator Maltbie Calls
Attention To Abnormal
Conditions
THE MEAT SITUATION

In his accompanying Fair Price
List" of August 8, for food. Mr.. Will
lam H Naltbie. Assistant Food Ad-
ministrator for Maryland, says:
THE most important factor in the
food situation this week is the abnor-
NAL condition with respect 10 beef and
to some extent with respect to pork.
Beef now received is of widely
varying quality. and in consequence
the range of prices for the various
cuts is very wide. Rib roast of the
best quality, for instance, will bring
prices as high as 40 cents a pound.
Much of the roast on the market, how
ever, should be sold as low as 20 cents
pound. The range of prices on other
cuts will be shown by the Fair Price
List
Under these conditions the con-
sumner must either be his own judge
or quality or must rely upon the fair
ness of the dealer to- secure the pro-
per value for the price which he pays.
The prices quoted below for pork
are for locally slaughtered pork,
Western pork should be very much
cheaper Roasts and chops of West
ern pork, for example, should run
from eight to twelve cents below the
prices quoted.
This abnormal condition will prob
ably continue for several weeks and
is due largely to the marketing at this
time of grass fed cattle"
