THK HAOt'K. Oct. 10 Though official
predictions that the battle In eastern and
northwestern France would come to an
end w'thln thla or that number of days
have been many, ao far none of them
hv been borne out. That either the
French left wing or the Oerman right
wing would finally be enveloped andj
crushed haa been asserted by the varlottr
general headquarters time and again, hut
so far thla haa not been done. The same
applies to attempts made to break tht
centers of the two opposing armies. After
herculean efforta up and down the tre
mendous battle line, from Albert to Bel
fort, conditions at thr writing are vir
tually those of Sc;temter 11 !
.But official dispatches Indicate that the
two armle have more or less worn them
erlves out by the Incessant attacks and
counter attacks, and French and Oerman
nd English military writers have come
to accept aa certain that whichever a'de
retreats from the positions at present
occupied will be In a sorry plleht. ese
cjally If the victor should be able to put
in the field fresh troops at the critical
moment
Th rigid restrictions of the French and
Itrltlsh censorship have made It Impossi
ble to cable In any detail the day by day
developments of this stupendous action,

tain eventa. The meager official state

prevent a German advance on central
France, and their reduct'nn would, trean
of course, that the French line would be
considerably thinned out If In addition
to stemming the German tide In north
eastern France It would have to meet an
advance from Alsace-Lorraine In the open
field. While the French field force have
successfully discounted the break on the

It la at least a strange coincidence, as
Dutch and Italian military writer have
pointed out. that the'Oerman right wing
should have been able to stand Its ground
better, and even advance slightly, Jusl
as soon a St Mlh'rl, Lea Paroches and
Camp de Romalnea fell In the hands ot

north of Verdun to H'telms and a point
between Heauvals and Morn, directly
north of Paris. The many attempts ot
the French left wing, in which f. light
the English expeditionary forces, to check
the Oerman advance proved futile. Bt.
Quentln had been lost by the French and
the La Fere-Lnon-niielms linn of fortl
firntlons hsd been reduced by the Oer
mana w'th surprisingly little resistance
on the part of the French. La Fere and
Ion surrendered quickly, and rthelms
was defended. The prospects that Paris
would be Invested had become so threat
ening that the French government moved
to Hordeaux.
For several days no, tniiterlal change
In the location of the two opposing ar
mies took place. On September 5 the
Germans reached the valley of the Mnrne
north of Chateau Thierry, and the first
contact actions with the Frenrh troops
lying before Paris took plnee.
On the following liny French and Eng
lish reports cla'med that for somi un
known reason the German right wing
was contracting and that the hody In
general was moving In a southwesterly j
direction. , Little credence was at first
given this report, but on September 1
inferential' confirmation came from the
German general headquarters. What the
purpose of this . movement could be was
at fsfst not understood, but It was learned
afterw'nrd that not alone have the Ger
mans transferred a large force to Teln
forre the troopa opposing the Russian.
In East Prussia, but that there had been
serious difficultly In the supply arrange
ments, the' troop In France lacking both
food and ammunition.
nermna Itlubt Winer Contracted.
. On Beptember the German right wing
had contracted to such an extent that
It army corp were no longer north of
Pari, but east; ot It. Back of the ad
vanced German right wing wero the
forces which had been occupied with the
reduction of French fortlflcatlona, but
these could not be employed In field op
erations, being hampered with the- rare
of the German heavy siege park. Offi
cial report from ' the followng day
ahowd that the Oermana passed Cha
lons, crossed tha valley of th Murne be
tween La Ferto and Hessnno and were
about : to roach the, valley ot the Snine
otitheast" of Pari. --" . '
Though nothing definite of this ma
neuver ha been learned from German
sources, the Impression prevails thai the
German intended to follow up the re.
treating French force by passing Paris
on the southland In so doing separate
the troop In the capital from those ot
the f'eld army. There I no doubt that
had this movement been successful th
German main force would have preased
on, leaving the reduction of the Purls
fort to the troopa which had been en
gaged In similar work at Maubeuge,
Longwy," Olvet and Mamur.
Preimre.l Flunk Move.
Tt appears, however, that while the
Gentian advanced on Paris, domandini
superhuman exertions from their famous
right wing, the French government,
counting on the res'stlng rapacity of th
Pelfort-Verdun defense line of fortifica
tion, quietly withdrew a large part ol
Its field force In that part of the ter
rain, and ahlpplng It past Paris on the
west, prepared for a flank movement
against the German right wing. On Bep
tember 11 th' maneuver began to bo
felt by the German troopa north ot tht
Mame valley the folding back, of the
Cernian right wing had begun. With
Verdun still the extreme of the German
troopa affected by the maneuver, their
line was bent back, until with lome
ground gained In the Marno valley, It
formed a semicircle the end of which
rested on La Fcre-l.aon defense line and
Verdun. On Beptember IS the German
right wing spread out ega'n In a north
westerly direction, and on the tamo day
the German center fll back byond Cha

were unsuccessful, though the -French re-

There had been no fighting in the cen- 1
ter between Verdun and St. Mlhlel, but '
en October 7 the Germans resumed the t
offensive, gaining a little ground noith .
of St. Mlhlel. An advance on llatton- I
chatel was cheeked by the French. Fight
ing was ulso reported from Woevre, where
tho Germans moved west from Apremont,
but were checked. An attack on the Ger
mans in the Argonno forest was success
fully withstood by them.
From October 3 to C large German rein
forcements arrived in Belgium. No rcli
aMo figures on their strength were ob
tained, but It was learned that a force of
about 30,000 Infantry, cavalry and artil
lery moved In the direction of the Franco
Betglnn bonier near Arras. Nothing had
been learned of their destination on Octo
ber 9.

ftvrmnn Itlght Wing Heals.
On September 80 the Oerman right wing
again restart on Albert, where, on that
day, it defeated a large French force, ac
cording to (1 report of the German head
quarters. The bombardment of the forts between
Verdun and Toul continued with un
abated vigor In the meantime, but the
ground gained by the Oerman on the
right bank of the Mouse had to be sur
rendered again, according to French offi
cial report.
Wlilo the French gained some ground
In tho Vosges they do not seem to have
penetrated as far as the summits of the
range, as has been asserted In the French
and English official dispatches. Nor Is It
possible to find confirmation of the report
that the French had again Invaded tho
Knndgau In 1'pper Alsace. That another
Invasion of Oerman terr'tory was at
tempted from that direction seems likely
In the face of German reports, but that
it was effective Is denied by the fact that
no operations of any Importance have
been recorded, from there. On October 2
the Germtins repulsed a frontal attack
on their light wing at Itoye. The Germans
gained considerable ground in following
up tho retaretit of tho French .
Roth Forces Concerned.
While tho Germans niado every effort
to break the Eplnal-Toul-Verdun line the
French were equally concerned with
breaking tha German center north of
Verdun, whose strong entrenchments have
so fur defied every attempt of that char
acter. French, English and Italian ob
servers have combined In saying that no
field works of such an elaborate and ex
tensive character have ever been laid out
by a modern army and tho French opera
tions of the last tew days have Indicated
that It ha been abandoned a hopeless to
further attack them. From Oerman
sources . has been learned that these en
trenchments were laid out behind the ad
vancing Oerman forces by working col
umns of the Oerman "landsturm with
out arms,", a the organisation Is known.
Thla Instance of remarkabla foresight per
mitted the retiring German force to fall
Into a position which had been carefully
selected and prepared, In which, in fact,
everything va ready for a most tub
born defence. ,
According to French and German offi
cial dispatches fighting In the vicinity ot
Arms, norths estem Franco, was In full
progress on October 9 and 4, while -there
was a lull in operation In the Perutino
district, alight gain were made by the
French in the neighborhood of Solasons,
whore several German trenches were car
rled. In the Woevre district, near Apre
mont on the Mouse. th French claim sev
eral successes, with German dispatches
clulmlng the very opposite.
Get Into Hhartt llattlra.
Several sharp attacks were made by the
Ooriimm on October S and 4 on the
French positions between Craonne and
the Argoune forest. Some of the ground
gained by tho Germans was lost again cn
tho fourth, but on tho whole the opera
tion appears to have been advantageous
to them. On October 4 fighting on the
German right and French left subsided
considerably, tho attention of tho various
commanders being occupied with an ex
tension of their forces beyond Arras,
where, on the following day the Inter
minable series of attack and counter at
tacks of the two oppoaing wing were
continued without decisive result. West
of Lille and west of Lens collision be
tween cavalry screens of the two forces
occurred, but these, like the fighting on
the Arraa-Albert-Itoye line, led to no
definite development. ,
Meanwhile th situation on the French
and German center had remained the
same, no fighting being reported from
Ither tho Olse-Meuse or Verdun-Belfort
lines. The claim of the French to have
made, alight advance In the Meuso hill
is lnd rectly supported by the Oerman dis

Fifty More Men
Saved from Wrecked
Hospital Vessel
WHITBY, Eng., Oct. 31. (Via Ijondon,
12:50 p. m.) Fifty more men were saved
this morning from tho wreck of the Brit
ish hospital ship Rohllla, which ran on
the rocks off the Yorkshire coast near
here early yesterday.
Bearing physicians, nurses and hosplt'il
supplies, the Rohllla was on her way tj
a Belgian or a French port to succor the
wounded when she was driven ashore. It
Is understood that all the women on
board were saved.
Thej total number on board the Ill-fated
ship Is not definitely known, but some
estimates place It at ZOO. There are said
to bo still about s'xty persons on the
vessel.
Several men this morning, In response
to signals from the shore, decided to
take the risk of swimming. A few of
them reached land safely, but others
were drowned. Bodies are washing up
on the bench.

Liu W1LLAKO H. QUIGLEY,
Candidate for Coroner.
The statues ot Nebraska pro
vide that the duties of a
coroner are to hold inquests
and decide the cause of death;
therefore the office belongs to
a physician, ho la qualified
by " nil training.
The duties of an undertaker
are u oe.l in.-Ketn, embalm
bodies and direct funerals.
90 per cent of the coroners of
the United States are doctors.
For the last five years my
opponent has been coroner aud
he has monopolized this under
taking business, and If you de
sired to choose your own fam
ily undertaker you have to pay
him a Twenty-five Dollar ($25)
embalming fee.
' My opponent states he ba
handled 1,088 cases and has
glvn away 552 cases to other
undertakers, but before he
yielded to the wishes of the
relatives hp demanded a
Twenty-five Dollar ($25) em
balming fee, therefore he has taken approximately Fourteen Thou
sand ($14,000) dollars out of the pockets of the other undertakers.
I will place the cornorer's office In the County Court House
instead of some private undertaking shop, and will give every un
dertaker his Just and equal share of cases coming under my Juris
diction. My opponent has doubled the expenses of the cornorer's office,
because he held inquests contrary to law.
FHil KKS DO NOT LIE.
Below are figures taken from office of county clerk:

J10 $0,815.00 Crosby, Coroner
1912 $0,6-8.75 Crosby, Coroner
113 $0,380.85 Crosby, Coroner
A doctor will hold less Inquests and save the taxpayers thou
sands of dollars, because oftentimes the cause of death are so ap
parent to a physician. I will give every undertaker his Just and
equal share of the County Business, because they are all taxpayers
and they are all entitled to an equal share of this County Business.
Vote for a doctor for county coroner and separate the coroner's

first Superintendent of schools,
received his education In the
Omaha public schools, has had
four children In the High Schoot,
has two others In the grade
schools, and is as interested in the
welfare of the schools as any one
In the city. Mr. Kennedy belongs
to no faction, has no one to pun
ish and no one to reward, but be
lieves in a "square deal" for all.
He haa served this community
for seventeen years, first on the
public library board and since ou
the school board, without one
cent of compensation, at a con
siderable sacrifice of time and
money and without shirking any
thing that it was up to him to do.
Conscious that he has given of

no act of his on the School Board
merits your condemnation, he is
unwilling to voluntarily retire
under fire, and therefore asks for
for your vote on November 3d.
