"Thia war has been anticipated for more

international competition. 'They are edu

enemies and possible Invaders, and so the
very spirit of fighting with instruments
of death Is a part of their training and
subsequent experience."

Germans Only Think
of Getting a Start
On Their Pursuers
LONDON, Sept. 12. The correspondent
of the Dally Telegraph haa sent the fol
lowing dispatch from tho front:
"The last remnants of the German's
cavalry have been destroyed and a large
purt of their mobile artillery and ammu
nition trains have been taken. Huge
numbers of their rank and file have
either been captured or cut off.
"A wlrelesa message to Berlin, which
was Intercepted here today said, 'We are
badly In need of horses and supplies.'
"A German general who slept In an Inn
here last night was overheard to say to
ono of his aides, 'a great disaster haa
overtaken us."
"An English officer of an aviator
scouting corps remarked: 'It will be a
miracle If any of these Germans get
home again. Their only anxiety now la
to lncreaso the distance between them
selves and their pursuers.'
"There can be. no doubt that, the tide
has turned in the allies' favor. The
great German coup haa failed. There
will be no siege of Paris and the govern
ment can safely return home from Bor
deaux at once."

from railway officials reporting ferty
four boys stealing from their caro, hang
ing around tho yarda and tracka and
jumping onto moving trains. Notices

wrong addresses. Last Saturday fifty-six
cases were disposed of, Involving seventy
three children. Of these thirty-nine were

unless sooner paroled or discharged, and
three were given suspended Kearney or

LONDON. Sept. 12. Telegraphing from
Petrograd the correspondent of the Morn
Ing Post says:
"The Austrian retirement on the Vistula
la being conducted with a semblance of
order, but the case is very different with
the right wing operating near Tomassow.
The Austrlana here are routed and fleeing
In the utmost disorder.' Driving In be
tween the two.winga the Russians have
cut off this .Auatro-German ' army and
completely surrounded it on the front and
the flank. The Russians have summoned
this right wing to surrender.
"The Russian cavalry has got behind
the retreating array with guns and the
situation of the. Aijstro-Germane Is now
desperate. To cross marshes and rivers
with cavalry and, artillery and ammuni
tion in the rear 1m more than any beaten

"There la not the slightest doubt." says

seems that the board reduces Fltxgerald'a
estimate or assessments on the railroad

This year, aa usual, the assessment waa
reduced, the figures being reduced HS.OOO
under Fitzgerald's figures.
Yeaterday he received a letter from
Secretary Seymour staling that throngh
a mistake or oversight the boaid had
forgotten to notify FHxgerald that an
additional reduction of P.i" had been
made on the South Omaha property of
the Missouri Paclfla railroad.
To say that Ftttgerald la mad is to
compare a spring arphyr to a roaring
blast of the north. He says thlnga about
tho State Hoard of K.quallxatlon that do
not look well In print. He saya that
when It comes to hearing on the railroad
property he waa given no formal notice.
Someone called him up on the telephone
fr mi Lincoln and told him to hurry down
before the board the next morning.
At the time Fitzgerald waa altttng on
the City Ronrd of Equalization. Ho says
ho could have arranged the matter If ho
had been given a week's notice or a few
daya at least. .He saya he explained that
he was unable to go at the time and alao
told the atate board representative that
"it makes no difference what I have to
say on the railroad property here tho
state board pays no attention to 1t. H
haa at least the rallroad'a side."
