Most Remarkable.,
PRAISE FOR THEIR ENEMIES
, Berlin. Oct 17.-(By Wireless to
Sayville'.)' Details of report about
th recent fighting on the' Somme
frnnt show that the attacks between
October 9 and 13 are to : e reckoned
among the treatest actions of the
whole Somme battle," says the Over
seas News Agency. "The objectives
of these great French and British ef
forts .were Bapaume and Peronne.
Moreover numerous hostile attacks
of violence were directed against the
front from Courcelette to St. Pierre
Vaast wood, north of the Somme, and
between Fresnes and Maiancourt,
and against Chaulnes, south of the
river. Of these engagements those
north of the Somme were most se
vere. ,
, "October 9, ' 10 and 11 the main
centers of combat were north of
Thiepval, north of Courcelette, near
Sailly-Saillisel, and in the vicinity of
the St Pierre Vaast wood. October
12 a great and well co-ordinated at
tack was launched over the whole
front from Courcelette to Bouchaves
nes." Speaking of the attacks Octo
ber 12, the news agency says:
"The , defenders, of the- Somme
front had thought it impossible that
the .violence of the artillery fire in
the great attack early in October
could oe exceeded, ui ntvaiu
even this was surpassed. In spite of
the hail of iron, the . British and
French did not succeed in reducing
th German positions to such an ex
tent' that theyeould be stormed.
French and British infantry in com
pact waves charged the German posi

standstill by the . German curtain of
fire. ' Notwithstanding their heavy
losses, they attempted one attack
after another. Near Sailly-Saillisel
: six charges were made. All , failed
completely, with the heaviest losses
for the enemy. German infantry left
their shelters and, standing in the
open, shot down the enemy columns

The effect of the German fire on

As it is now in the prayer book, the
morning prayer asks for the presi

perity long to live," and that he finally
may attain everlasting joy and feli
city. The new prayer as adopted for
both services, whil asking that the
president "and Ha others in authority"
be given "the wisdom and strength to
know and to do they will" makes no
reference to long, life, health, pros

I he douse also voted, despite Vigor-

One Great Railroad
System Is Proposed
For the Bush Lines

reorganization plan for the Missouri
Pacific and St. Louis & IrortMoun-
tain railroads was presented today to
the state public service commission
bv B. F. Bush, receiver -for the prop
erty, and attorneys representing the
roadj aod the New York banking
houses that will undertake the re
financing plan. It was stated that all
interests excepting the holders of
bonds to the extent of $3,000,00, sup
posed to be in Germany, have assent
ed to the plan.
The commission was told that one
great system, under a Missouri char
ter, will be made out of the 7,000 miles
of the two lines.
Paul'D. Cravath, New York, assert
ed that the Missouri Pacific had been
forced into a receivership because ot
bad financing, and not because the
road's earning capacity had decreased.
He stated that a syndicate had un
derwritten $46,000,000 in cash, or as
much of that amount as may be need
ed, to take up the $25,000,000 of gold
bonds and also to pay off $3,000,000

Miss Huber Goes to Granary
And Then Hangs Herself
Menno, S. D., Oct 17. (Special.)
Suffering from an attack of religio-n
mania, Miss Regina Huber, in till
prime of life, committed suicide 'jy
hanging herself in a granary on the
farm of her brother, W. C. Huber,
some miles from town. She left the
house during the forenoon and, not
returning within a reasonable time,
her brother became alarmed and insti
tuted a search for her. finding her
lifeless body hanging in the granary.
The change, which was adopted at
the suggestion of the commission, on
prayer book, must be approved by
the house of bishop and by the next
general convention before jt can be
come effective.
Skillful parliamentary manauvering
saved the resolution admitting women
to membership in the house of dep
uties from being killed by an adverse
committee report. The committee to
which (the resolution introduced oy
RobertXH. Gardner of Maine, was re
ferred and reported the proposal was
inexpedient at this time. Mr. Gard
ner, however, before the committee
report was acted on made a motion
placing the original resolution on the
calendar, thus giving it a chance for
discussion in the house. He explained
that a woman is no longer a chattel
as she was regarded 1,900 years ago
when the church was founded.

tariff as "providing sufficient revenue
for economical administration."
Quotes Some Figures.

Hughes denied, and showed that by
the introduction of ambiguous phrases

Less than six months sgo the Mul

the followers of Miv Bryan, who,
under the. leadership of Charles W.
Bryan, his brother, were endeavoring
to wrest the party from the domina

J. and Brother Charlie were castigaed;
fro mevery standpoint The Mullen
guns were turned on these Wo men
and columns of newspaper space used
in an effort to keep the older Bryan
from the national convention and the
younger from securing' the democratic
nomination for governor. Both efforts
were unsuccessful and when the re
turnSNof the primary showed that both
had been defeated, shouts of gladness
and paeons ot victors were sent up
to the democratic god for saving the
party from the Bryan crowd. ,N'
' Different Story Now.'-
Now it is different .when they see
the- then primary victory turning into
defeat at the' polls in November and
the swish of the party lash applied by
Boss Mullen and his lieutenants ; to
bring back the men then pillowed, can
be: heard from the Missouri to the
Colorado line. Said one well known
democratic today: . .
"Mullen -'may swing . his whip all
he wants to, he can t make me forget
he and his crowd who are trvinir to

They questioned their democracy and
they questioned their political .hon

"Mr. i Mullen can't fool- me. He

Hitchcock or. Neville, and I defy him
or any other boss to show , me that
they are any better, democrats than I
am. I voted for democrats beforev
Arthur Mullen was even a voter, and
he can't order me to vote for any
man. They want to whip us Bryan
democrats back into line to help land
Hitchcock and Neville, but if they
could succeed we would have to take

ment said Viscount Grey, secretary
of state for foreign affairs, in the
House of Lords today, , i -
In reply to a question concerning
the attitude of the United States
toward British patrols, Viscount Grey
said that the United States admitted
the British ships were not exceeding .
their legal rights under international
law, but that the American govern
ment complained of their pretence on
the ground of , the irritation which
the continued presence of belligerent
warship off the coast of the United
States naturally caused in a neutral
country. He declared that the United .
States had requested Great firitian
very emphatically not to patrol off
its coast, and said that instructions
were lent to the British ships there '
to avoid causing any unnecessary ir
ritation and to comply a far as pos- .
sible with the American request
Matter lor United Statei Only. '
"With .regard to -the V-S3." the
foreign secretary continued, "we do
not know what steps were taken by
the United States for patrolling ha
waters, - or in regard- to its coming
into port and securing - information
from newspapers.- We do not know
whether it is true that American
warships got out of the submarine's
way. That is a matter for the Ameri
can government only and we assume,
that government is making full in
quiries. We also assume it will an
nounce its attitude in due course.
Pending that we do not orooose to
make, any official representation on
tne subject ot the submarine."
