FROM TUB BATTLE FKO.1T (Via
Frls), Oct. 21. Dsplte the bom
bardment of the allied positions by
the German heavy artillery,' the Bel
Stan army today forced the invaders
to retire nearly five miles.
King Albert's forces, with the
English channel on their extreme
wing, are showing a marvelous fight
ing spirit despite their long hard
campaign and grief over the loss of
Antwerp and other tare cities.
In the terrific open struggle which
hss been in progress along the fron
tier for several days the Belgians
with the allied French and British,
have repelled with the greatest
energy Incessant German attacks.
Three Mrs Hoi Drldare.
On the Lys, the French were
closely engaged with general success.
Three French sharpshooters per
formed a brilliant feat In defending
a bridge, the possession of which
was of greatest strategic Importance
to both armies. The Germans made
a cavalry dash In an effort to seize
the passage, but the Frenchmen, be
hind a mill seventy-five yards away,
poured their magazine fire into the
Germans until the latter retired leav
ing the bridge In the hands of the
allies.
Around Lille where the British
are in action, there has been fierce
fighting, particularly In the neigh
borhood of La Bassee, .which threat
ens the German possession of Lille.
Street Flshtla- Severe.
Street fighting has been wry se
vere between the long lines of bouses
connecting the sister towns of Rou
balx and Tourcolng. In a baker's
shop one of the German troopers was
found In an oven, almost suffocated.
Along the center the artillery ac
tion continued today without great
change, but several German trenches
were captured.
Investment Bankers
Say Interest Charges
of Eailroads Lower
WASHINGTON, Oct. U.-Cross-eiam-(naUon
of John E. Oldham, who pok
for tha Investment Bankers" association
at the Interstate Commerce commission
hearing today on th application of tho
eastern railroads for higher freight rates,
developed testimony that th rat of in
terest on fixed charge of tho railroad
had dropped during 1918 to 4. 44. from an
average of 4.80 for the ten year preced
ing, and that the average dividend rate
for 1913 waa 6.48, a against a en-year
average of 141. -
In examination of figure presented by
Mr. Oldham,. Louis D. Brandela, the com
mission's counsel, drew the conclusion
that the. amount of capital required by
the roads to earn a dollar on a year'
operation had decreased In 191S. Mr. Old
ham Insisted, however, that the falling
interest did not indicate the roads had
borrowed money at a lower rate.
Under examination by Clifford Thome,
counsel for several shippers' organiza
tions, it was developed that the decline
in net Income of tha railroads had been
fractional and that tho roads had been
maintained at a higher level during 191s,
than during previous yeara.
Cost of Operation Decreases.
Mr- Maxwell's figures for roads In
Central Freight association territory
gave tho ratio of net' operating Income
property Investment at IM in 1914, as
against 161 In 1911, on one group of lines,
and a drop from 4.66 ' to S. 79 the lowest
of a twelve-year, average ou another
group. Commissioner Clara pointed out
that the Big Four system's maintenance
of equipment account for 1914 Increased
approximately SO per cent over 1913, Mr.
Maxwell said ho understood greater de
preciation ehargea bad been made, and
that further explanation would bo forth
Mr. Maxwell told of difficulties arising:
from state laws In tha middle wast con
fronting tho Central association road
in putting In tho increase allowed by the
commission In July.

Considerable time was devoted to a 'dis
cussion of ways and mean to ecure a
better system of protection for hotel men

houe of Schmoller A Mueller. Mr.
Schmoller had been In Europe four
months and a greater portion of the time
In tho war tone. He ai rived In Omaha
yesterday and prklu of the trip
abroad, said:
"I reached Germany about the middle
of July, stopping a few enys at Tlremea
and then visiting a number ef the other
principal cities Including Thurlnaen. right
In the heart of th empire. From there
I went to the home of my boyhood. Eise
nach, expecting to so from there to
Carlsbad in Austria, but tho war com
ing en, I waa prevented.
The Tree ble . atari.
"Tha trouble started about Annul 1
and from that time on there was a steady
concent ratio of troops, going both east
and weft. Tb city where I was rtopplng
was a railroad center and for four days
and four nights, the train carried noth
ing but German aoidier. There were
train every twenty minutes, each' train
carrying from 100 to S.oao men. Then
there were a large number of train that
carried nothing but artillery, whli other
carried only horses.
"Following this movement of troop.
flahtlng commenced almoet Immediately,
We heard of battles being foujtht and II
was not msny days tintll tho men com.
men ceil coming back. The tralni brought
the dead, wounded and niany prisoner.
And the number of prisoner vnptured Is
astonishing. When I l f t Oertnar.y, It
waa estimated that eX,(n had been taken,
Including mnny of the troops from India.
'Later I went to Heiiln and while the
effects of ths war were being feit. busi
ness was running alone as before tho
war. The shops mere oi-en, concert hall
were running and price were about the
same a they had been.
Meets t'sssl Cepprtta.
'Jteptember 27. at Frankfort. In com
pany with John V. flteT of Chicago, 1
met Count Koprelm and had a long con- t
verratlon with him. He told me that j
tne reports that numerous (llriginies baa
been captured, or dnntroyed were false
and that up to that time not one of the
flying machine hod neot lost.
"A to how long the war will ront'nJe,
no one ran tell. Germany ran curry on
the atruggl for twenty months to two
year without It resource being badly
drained. The country has plenty of
money. In ths event Germany should
clean up England and oheck Russia, It Is
probable that the Kug'.lah would be ready
to seek term of peace, but only time can
tell what th outcome will be.
"While I waa practically In the war
one, I did not see any of the fighting,
nor wa I ion any of th battlefield,
though I wa In Antwerp a short tlma
before the bombardment.
"W went from Rotterdam to Liver
pool, Where our baggagj was examined
and all the German newspapers, German
literature and German map taken from
us. I was told that this was done In ordet
that there might be no poteilhlltty of the
tuff being distributed.
"At London I found cod!t!one much
different than In tha Oerman cities.
Lights went out early In the evening and
tha people kept off the streets, the fear
being that Zeppelin would fly vr tho
city, the operator see the lights and
drop bombs
"Coming across the ooean no lights Were
allowed above decks and every night the
vessel ran without a irtim of a light We
were five days making th trip from
Liverpool.
"No matter who win, the war la going
to leave Europe In terrible condition and)
It will require fully 100 years to restore
condition and put the countries on the
anme footing In the matter of prosperity
that existed en year ago."

Out of Suez Canal
LONDON, Oct 2fc--Through th official
Cress bureau' th government set forth
It attitude toward th ships of an enemy
In tho Sue canal. Some vessel, It state,
were detained hy tho Egyptian govern
ment because of hostile act committed
In the canal, and some because It was
believed that they contemplated hostil
act. In a third class ar placed tha snips
which refused to leave, though free pas
sage waa offered, thu disclosing an In
tention to us th ports of the canal as a
refuge a measure not contemplated by

that "the Egyptian government 1 fully
justified In removing all th enemy1 ship
which have been long enough at canal
port to show clearly that they have no
Intention of departing In th ordinary
way."
