London, Oct 4. Thousands of prisoners have been taken
by the British in the nw drive against the Germans which was
begun this morning east of Ypres in Flanders., All the objec
tives of the British were won, including positions characterized
by Field Marshal Haig'v report from headquarters tonight, as
"of great importance."

to a depth of one mile and have overrun the crest of the Pals-chendaele-Gheluvelt

At an early hour the Germans were surrendering by hun

STARTS NEW OFFENSIVE.;
London, Oct. 4, Field' Marshal
Haig has begun a new offensive east
of Yprc The official statement from
British headquarters in France issued
today says the British attacked at 6
o'clock this morning: on a wide front
and art making satisfactory progress.
A number f prisoners already have
been taken. , i
I In their offensive in the Ypres sec
tor today the British gained all their
objectives en a front of 16,000 yards
and to a depth of 2,500 yards. General
Frederick B.' Maurice, chief director
of military operations at the war of
fice, announced today. , ;
.' i WAITED JUST EIGHT DAYS.
.The renewal of the Flanders drive
comes after an eight-day interval! On
Wednesday of. last week the British
swept forward over ground on both
sides of the Ypres-Menin road, ad
vancing from a half mile to a mile at
various' points along the 'line. '

war on this western-front followed,

who meanwhile' were ' preparing for

To Be Another ''Strategic Retreat?"
t With today's renewal of the drive
the battle of Flanders is growing
more and more to resemble last year's
battle of the Somme, which was fol
lowed by the, memorable Hindenburg
"strategic retreat." The same gen
eral tactics now being pursued of per
sistent driving at the same point in
the line are evidently expected, by the
British to achieve a similar result.
This time, however, the ground which
would have to be abandoned would be
far more "valuable to the entente and
its loss ar correspondingly heavy blow
to the Germans, for the German-held,

and aerial bases, is at stake, together

ON WAY TO CAMP
Many Special Trains Pass
Through Lincoln on Way to
Fort Riley, Where Train

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 4. (Special.)
The third contingent of Nebraska's
draft army moved toward Camp Fun--stoq;
today, but the same attention pa
pears to be lacking 'that ' was given
thcothcrjs. -This is, doubtless due to
the fact ; that they are moving in
smaller units and tn most instances
fw stops are made afid then only for
a. very short tinae.
" Last night a few passed through
Lincoln,, stopping for a short time, in
cluding forty-two jnen from Tripp
county, S. D. A special train of
twelve cars carrying men from the
north and' western part, of the -state
passed through Lincoln on the Rock
Island road fast night, but' few peo
ple ' knew that they . were going
through. The trai stopped but ; a
few minutes in Lincoln. '
From Many Counties.
Two train loads," scheduled to stop
in Lincoln and pick up others, did not
arrive until late and little or no dem
onstration was made. They repre
sented quotas from Boone, Nance,
Madison, Colfax, Dodge and Sarpy
counties. Other quotas on another
train were from Dakota, Dixon, Cedar,
Wayne,Thurston; Burt and Washine
ton counties. Probably 400 men were
in the quotas. The trains carried din
err and it was not necessary for the
men to look elsewhere for food.
A mistake had been mase in the
case of the' -Dakota men and they
were sent on ahead of time. These ate

Bolo Pasha matter. Further dis
closures are expected.

Here It Comes,
FARMER SAYS TO
GROW HOGS IN ALL
CITY BACK LOTS
Head of Farmers Congress,
TFaVorsTixfng Price of Live
. Stock and the Feed
,for It.;4. .
"Repeal every city ordinance in the
state. which prohibits the keeping of a
hog in the back lot,", that is the advice
of O. G. Smith of Kearney, president
of the. Nebraska Farm congress.
Mn Smith says, he realizes there-
would be a little fight with the health
authorities, but , he feels sure that
matter could be adjusted.
He believes that, in these days of
food shortage, and conservation talk,
it is vitally wrong to allow the garbage
ford rinchot and other big speakers
are to be here.
Mr. Smith, a few years ago, bought
two thoroughbred sows and raised
two litters of blooded pigs in his back
yard in Kearney. He got seventeen
fancy pigs and sold them for an aver
age of oveY $30 apiece, which brought
him a sum (something over $500.
Tu Use the Garbage.
He eliev'es that in these days of food
shortage, and conservation talk,, it is
vitally wrong to allow the garbage
from the kitchen to go to waste when
from the ordinary home that garbage
will practically keep a hog. .
President Smith is also in favor, of
fixing the price of live stock, and of
the feed that is necessary to produce
that livj: stock. He speaks particular
ly of the hog situation.' He says he is
working out what he believes will be
a proper-and adequate ratio between
the ; price of corn and the price1' of
hogs. ) He will endeavor to nave the
figures in such shape that he may
present them for consideration at the
South Omaha meeting tonight. While
he does not give out his figures yet,
he.intimates that he would put the
price of both corn and hogs consid
erably lower than they are at this
time, and would yet leave enough
margin so that the swine grower can
amply afford to grow pork. ,
' Must Fix Prices.
: Mr. Smith is a farmer himself, and
a heavy swine breeder.
"We must fix not only the prices of
hogs and corn," he said, "but we must
fix the prices of the other feeds which
every up-to-date swine grower nowa
days feeds to his hogs to round them
out and get the best results. We must
have the price of shorts and middlings
fixed as well as the price of corn, if
we are going to fix the price of hogs
and establish a standard- which the
breeders can depend upon in raising
pork. J am confident there is a way
to do this, and that the proper basis
can be reached, and I feel sure that I
will ready to present such a stand-1
ard to the meeting tonight." - .

After viewing the inspiring pageant which moved over tha

have been there without - n name.
Nothing of this nature had ever been
witnessed here before; it was some

tions in their stand for world deraoc- .
racy as against autocracy. " - .,
. Many Countries Represented. '
There were floats representing Ire
land, Trance,. Scotland, England, Bel
gium. Lithuania, Poland, Italy, Greece
and America, and floats from the elec
trical oarade of Wednesday night
represented "Our Army," "Our Navy,"
"Aviation," "Red Cross" and "Jfeace."
It was a wonderful drawing to
gether of hopes and ambitions of peo
ples born under other flags, yet hearts
beating as one in this conflict for the
maintenance of democracy1 and human
rights and all as one beneath the
folds o( Old" Glory.. , ' . , -
One of the ' scenes . showed : King
John .signing the Magna Cbarta, the
immortal document which gave to the ,
people their first "rights from divine
kings." The center of another Scene
was Joan of Arc, the patron saintess
of France. The sad story of Belgium
was depicted on the Belgian float,
Uncle Sam.lVictory, Goddess of Lib
erty and other symbolical character!
were shown in effective niemblef.
The Polish civil and military costumes
worn by natives of this land of history
attracted second notice of the crowd.
The Higtand warriors and kiddies in
kilts on the Scotch float likewise did .
not escape observations of the throng.

The parade was led by' Chief o
Police Henry, W, Dunn, Marshals
Leo A. Hoffman and Charles J.( Kar

the Knights ' of . Ak-Sar-Ben,, none
of whom needed an introduction.
Captain J. A. Pagelow and staff,
with 200 men of the signal corps' sta
tioned at Fort Omaha, won applause
all along the route. One. company of
this complement appeared with arms,
in mlrching order and the other com
pany manned twenty motor trucks.
These trucks were loaded and manned
just as they would be if ordered to
the front. The equipment included
a signal balloon and basket, an Ameri-.
can and a French winch for the bal
loon, supply of oil for. trucks, wireless
apparatus, telephone - and telegraph'
outfits, reels of wire aiid other ma
terials necessary in the field." .

Three-Cent Postage Will Be
Charged Soon; Income Tax.
Will Catch Many Who
Were Exempt.
Twelve i deputyyUnited States in
ternal revenue agents started out
early Thursday morning to visit all
retail tobacco stores in Omaha and
take inventcries of stocks on hand for
payment of the new war tax, in ac
cordance with the bill just signed by
President Wilson.
Inventories of retail stocks wilt be
taken only at first,, as the tax will be
charged to the manufacturer after the
government shall have collected the
tax on the stocks in the hands of re
tailers. ' f i'
The tax is a mere : trifle ; on the
cheaper cigars. On cigars retailing at
less than 4 cents there is no increased
tax whatever, ' On cigars retailing
from 4 cents to' 7 cents each the tax
is increased his '-frper tnousali d
above the old rate This old rate was
$3 per thousand on all kinds of cigars,
regardless of price. , ' ., . , t
Cigar Tax Small
, On cigars retailing from 7 cents to
IS cents the tax is raised from the old
rate to $6, just double. On cigars re
tailing at IS cents to 20 cents the tax
is boosted to $8 and on cigars retail
ing at more than "20 cents the new tax
is placed at $lt) pe thousand-.-1-. ',
So, if the cigar man should try to
tell you that your favorite 5-cent cigar
is now selling at 6 cents, "because of
the war tax, just laugh at him and
tell him that the tax boost, is only $1
per thousand cigars, winch amounts
to one-tenth of a cent per. cigar. If
you smoke a IO-cent or two-for-a-quarter
cigar the war tax increase
amounts to only three-tenths of a
cent for each cigar, which is not
enough to cause an increase in the re
tail price. ...
Three-Cent Postage Next.
These taxes go into effect immedi
ately. Other taxes provided, for in
the big bill go into tfTect at various
times, some not for a couple of
months, to allow time for the printing

Young Farmer Sells All His
Stock That He May Do His Bit
Frank L. Snide, a prominent young
farmer of Springfield, has made , a
great sacrifice to serve Uncle Sam as a
member of the new national army.
On October 1 he held a closing out
