of the Deutsche bank at New York,

The wily Dernstorff cautioned
against expressions in the German
press concerning internal French
conidtions, suggesting that German
approval might upset all his plans.
He also was careful not to put down
the name of the political peisonal
ity, saying a verbal report would be
made as scon as a trustworthy mess
enger could be sent.
Hugo Schmidt testified in New
York yesterday before State Attor
ney General Lewis telling how the
money was placed to his credit with
instructions from Von Bernstorff
that it was to be disposed of as
Adolph Pavenstedt might direct.
Pavenstedt already had told the at

obtained . the fund to finance a

U. S. GRANT POST, 110. ADOPTS
RESOLUTIONS REQUESTING
SENATE TO ACT.
Omaha. Oct. 5. Grand Army vet
erans or Omaha generally approve
resolutions adopted by U. S. Grant
post. No. 110, asking the United
States senate to expel Robert M. La
Follette, and it is likely other posts
will take similar action on the mat
ter.
"The only debate on the resolu
tions at the meeting of the post,"
said Joseph Mallison, adjutant of
U. S. Grant Tost, "was as to the ad
visability of taking action at this
time. The sentiment that the ac
lion asked of the senate should be
taken, was unanimous."
George A. Custer post No. 7 meets
next Tuesday night, October 9; and
George Crook post No. 2G2, holds its'
next meeting Friday night, October
12. Both posts meet in memorial
hall at the court house.
The resolution asking that La
Follette be expelled, says:
TO THE SENATE OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
WHEREAS, Senator Robert M.
LaFolIette, of Wisconsin, in a speech
before the Producer's and Consum
er's conference in St. Paul, Minn.,
September 20, did say according to
the official report which so far has
not been publicly denied, "I wasn't

of Great Britain. On these griev
ances, which are insignificant, con
sidering- the rights and consequenc

had a right to ship munitions but
I wasn't in favor of the riding,"
thereby showing open hostility to
our government now engaged in war,
and condoning by implication the
brutal murders of American men
and women on the high seas, and

war, thus helping to prolong this
agonizing struggle of the American
people, and our allies, THEREFORE

Assault.
With the British secure in all the
positions they won Thursday along
the more than eight-miles front of
the Ypres sector in Flanders, Field
Marshal Haig's men were busy Fri
day consolidating their newly won
positions. Nothing but the dropping
of shells from German guns served
to interrupt the breating spell the
British were taking, except here
and there small counter-attacks.
In addition to the enormous cas
ualties inflicted on the Germans the
British captured 4,446 prisoners in
Thursday's attack, among them 114

British Front in France and Bel

was shining down through the crisp
October air on an unwavering line
of British troops along the new de
fenses which they reached in yes
terday's great drive.
The night had brought virtually
no change in the situation and the
British rapidly were changing their
positions that were the fruit of one
of the most important conquests of
as infantry action was concerned. ,
. The enemy, however, concent rat
edan intense artillery Are on the
front and during yesterday after
noon and evening they massed their
shattered troops at various places
for counter-attacks.
Five Attacks Repulsed.
These were attempts born of des
peration and in almost every case
the onrushing waves cf German in
fantry was caught in a heavy ar
tillery, machine gun and rifle fire
and crushed before they reached
their objectives.
The German artillery fire was
particularly heavy up to midnight
along the section just north of the
Menin road, in the vicinity of Pold
erhoek. In the afternoon and eve
ning the enemy launched no less
tha nfive counter-attacks in this sec

Berlin Admits Allied Gains.
Berlin, Via London, Oct. 5 (Brit

The Berlin official report said:
"Western theater: Front of
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria
Yesterday was a day of battle of
unusual intensity for the leaders
and the troops of the Fourth army.
It has been withstood. From early
morning until into the night the
struggle was continued by repeated
Engilsh attacks, let loose again and
again from the region northwest of
Langemarck to south of the Mcnin-
Ypres road fifteen kilometers.
On the terrain on which this
bitter fluctuating fighting of infan
try-took place, massed artillery, both
man and gun worked uninterrupted
ly at their maximum efforts. The
hottest points of the battle were at
Poelcapelle, the isolated farms
three kilometers west of Passchen
daele, the roads crossing east and
southeast of Zonnebeke, portions of
the woods west of Becelaere and the
village of Gheluvelt.
Village Hotly Contested.
"Over this line the enemy was
able temporarily to push forward,
but under the pressure of our count
er-attacks he could not hold . his
ground, although until late evening
fresh forces were continually
brought into the fray. The English
gain was restricted to a strip of
land of from one to one and a half
kilometers in depth, running from
Poelcapelle by the way of the eas
tern spur of Zonnebeke and thence
along the road leading to Becelaere.
This last named village also was
hotly contested. The village of
Gheluvelt remains completely in our
possession.
"The sanguinary losses of the

town of Glen wood, la., at public auction, to the highest bidder, regardless of age, color,
sex or nationality, on the following terms and conditions:
This farm is from rolling to rough land, but would make an ideal dairy and poul
try farm for someone who is not able to buy a large farm, or someone who wishes to
retire from large farming, on a small tract .that can be made into one of the most
beautiful and attractive homes adjoining the beautiful town of Glenwood.
Th e improvements consist of a large brick house, with basement; barn, crib,
sheds, chicken house and other necessary outbuildings; is watered by creek and wells;
.some fruit, and is fenced with a barbed and woven wire.
This farm being only about 25 miles from Countil Bluffs arid Omaha, should
make it attractive to someone to engage in the poultry and dairy business, for there
never was a time when poultry, butter and milk were in such demand and at such
high prices as at this time.
Someone will get a bargain. Will that be YOU? or YOU? Come! Bring your
friends with you. Terms will be easy and made known on day of sale.
$2.50 will be given to the lady who bids on this farm.
$5.00 in gold will be given to the man who starts this farm nearest to
what it will sell for. ' .
10 boxes of candy will be given the ten ladies who are on the ground at
opening of sale, guessing nearest how many dollars the farm will bring.,
We invite every man, woman and child in Glenwood and surrounding territory
to be present at the opening of this sale. , It may do you good.
