"Nogi's army at Mukden sought
not SO much to crush the Russian
right by a flank attack as to get on
his rear and thus determine the re-
treat Of all the eneny's forces"
The allied commander=in chief
seems now to be applying that prin-
ciple in France. The German front
forms vast salient from the Escaut
to the Mouse. The extreme point of
it is Anizy. Marshal Foch is at
lacking it not alone on one flank
but on both alternately while he is
pressing the center in the section
between La Fere and Berry au BAG
to prevent the enemy's breaking
contact and slipping away.
At the beginning of the week fit
was the turn on the left of the allied
forces which struck in the direction
Of Maubeuge and Guise. Yesterday
it was the right that delivered the
blow, aiming it in the direction OF
Mezieres. Whether both wings
break through or only one is imma-
terial. The result would be the Same

English Hearts

AGAINST Germany
tBy Associated Press. }

London, OF. 14-The sinking of
the steamer Leinster gave a stun
ming blow to whatever feeling exist
ed in England for a peace of recon-
citation. The affair caused more in
dignation than any submarine ex-
plot since the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, The contrast between Prince
MaX's benevolent utterances and
Germany's day by day military and
naval policies is the text for most
Of the newspaper sermons on the
situation. Not only the slaughter of
women and children on the Leinster
and the Hirano Marus, but the Ger
mans refusal to exchange prisoners
and the stories coming from the
front Of the needless devastation in
Belgium and northern France are
working together to put a damper on
any sentiment OF leniency towards
the central powers.
1t appears plain that the German
peace proposals are regarded more
with disfavor here today than they
were a week ago. Even some prom
lnent papers with pacifist leanings
are demanding punishment for the
violation of civilized warfare.

Big SALE OF Pure
BRED HOGS TO Be
HELD ON TUESDAY

One Of the most important events
for the farmers of this district will
be the sale of pure bred hogs that
will be held in Fargo Tuesday after
noon at l o'clock at the Fargo mu-
nicipal barn.
Because of the Spanish influenza
it has been feared that some farmers
interested in the sale would not at
tend, but the Fargo influenza sit
uation is no more serious than it is
elsewhere in the state. It is true, of
course, that there are more cases in
Fargo than elsewhere in North Da-
kota, but the city's population is so
much greater than that of any 9TH
er city that comparison on numbers
fails to reveal the actual situation,
according to physicians.
The hog sale will, be held in the
open, and the consignors follow:

Paris, Oct. 12.-Today finds Ger
many little nearer the brink OF
disaster. Marshal Foch's broom APP
piled in the Champagne this time,
has swept the enemy back from a
wider section of the front than ever
before.
General Ludendorfe now is reap
ing the results Of the cardinal error
he made in thinking that the allied
offensives were bound to be spaced
at wide intervals like his own. The
continuity Of the attacks has lit
orally dumbfounded the Germans
and it is plain that there is vacilla-
ton at the German grand headuuar-
tiers.
For instance the evacuation Of the
Belgian coast appears to have been
ordered and then countermanded,
which justifies the inference that
General Ludendorff lis no longer
guided by purely military considera-
tioris either from the demoralizing
effect a retreat on a large scale
would have I'm the interior or with
the idea that the more territory that
remains in his hands the stronger
would be Germany's position in it's
conversations with Washington. In
the meantime Ludendorf9 is letting
Prussias time slip by, FOR which
tt Is likely he will repent sooner or
later.

quarters, says Reuters. that there is
no prospect of an early armistice
as the result of Germany's over
lures.
Further, it Is stated. when the
time is ripe for considering the ques-

the accompanying naval and military
guarantees that Germany is not
merely ready to sheathe the sword,
but is absolutely powerless to resume
