SILENCE FORTS AT ANTWERP
Two Dutch Outworks Put Out of Ac
tlon Is Report from Berlin Kaiser's
Troops Never Cease Furious On
slaught on Allied Lines Russian
Attack Now Extended Along Entire
Battle Front
London, Oct. 4. The three weeks'
battle in the vlnclnlty of the Arsne
river Is still undecided.
Neither the Germans nor the allies
claim any decisive victory, although
the French and British troops have ad
vanced beyond tho Alano and are still
crowding back the kaiser's forces.
On tho other hand, the Germans
contend that the great battlo remains
a draw. They are described in official
Berlin dispatches as hammering the
French positions at various points
with heavy artillery and that attompts
by the allies to break through tho
German lines havo been repulsed
These Berlin dispatches report tho
heaviest losses In tho Argonne re
gions. Keep Up Terrific Battle.
On the Battlo Front, Paris, Oct. 4.
A thrill was In tho air all along the
extended allied lines today. The
French and British troops, who have
'been over a fortnight In tho closest
contact with the Germnns, felt they
'bad accomplished their hard task of
preventing the Germans from breaking
;the human barrier erected between
them and Paris, their main .objective,
and that this meant eventual victory
for the allies.
The fury of the German onslaughts
was unabated, especially on the west
ern wing; but their every effort was
met with vigor by the allies, who
seemed to vlo with each other In us
ing all their strength and courage
against tho attackers.
Tho scene of the most violent at
tacks changes day by day. The Ger
mans, finding it impossible to pene
trate the allied lines in the vicinity
of Reims nnd Solssons, quickly trans
ported many of their divisions farther
northwest and hurled them against
Roye. Again they foiled, although
they never ceased thler efforts to bat
ter down the resistance.
The allies' great turning movement
continued today and their western
$ wring extended toward Arms. Reports
from tho other end of the line on tho
frontier show the progress of the al
lies to be slow but sure.
Airships Great Aid.
Bordeaux, Oct. 4. The concentra
tion of Germans In great strength at
Roye, as mentioned In the war office's
statement issued this afternoon, Is ex
plained here by the ease with which
the commanding generals discover tho
dispositions of the enemy through
aeroplane scouts.
An Important factor In the winning
of battles Is surprises. The aviators
1n the present war have made this fac
tor a negligible one.
For this reason, tho battle of the
Alsne is continuing for an unprece
dented length of time. The public, not
familiar with all the strategy, is in
clined to be Impatient of fighting with
out an end, but those who know de
clare themselves perfectly satisfied
with the progress being made by tho
French armies.
GERMANS REPULSE ALLIES.
Berlin, Oct. 3, by wireless to Say
tllle, L. I. According to announce
4KSnit
!
CALIFORNIA COAST
ment made In Berlin today tho great
battlo in France is still undecided.
The Germans are described as ham
mering tho French positions at numer
ous points by their heavy artillery.
The attempts of the allies to break
through tho German lines have been
repulsed. Tho heaviest losses havo
been In the Argonno region.
The Germans continue to make
steady progress.
The fighting in France, the siege of
Antwerp and the offensive operations
under General von Hlndenberg in the
east, all going on the the same time,
are taken In Berlin to indicate that
the German army is not lacking In
men.
Alarm In Berlin?
Amsterdam, via London, Oct 8.
A dispatch from the German capital
says that the Berliner Tageblatt prints
a significant article by its military
correspondent. Major Moraht, who,
while asserting confidence that there
will be a fresh .German advance on
Paris, to careful Vo add:
"But there is another possibility
which must command the conscien
tious attention of calm observers of
the fluctuating struggle: What would
be gained by the allies if they force
our right wing to the Belgian frontier?
Nothing but the passing success which
would be tho beginning of the end of
tho Franco-British presumption of vic
tory." Major Moraht then explains that the
farther the allies move from Verdun
and Toul, which, he says, form their
laBt great strongholds, the longer Is
tho distance thoy must travel back
when tho stream of German armies,
broad and unhindered, flows westward
from Lorraine.
FRESH TROOPS MEET GERMAN8.
On tho Battlo Front, Oct 2. Heavy
re-enforcements for tho allies, mado up
I of East Indian troops and territorials,
tho latter Including a Scotch regiment
of sharpshooters, have been hurled at
tho right wing of the German army,
which is giving way foot by foot be
foro tho terrific onslaught
The fresh troops aro continuing the
recent terrlblo hand-to-hand conflicts
occasioned by the intrepid Germans,
who are attempting at times Ineffec
tual sorties.
Fresh Troops Push On.
Not only have these new re-enforcements
prevented the Germans from
breaking through, but they have gained
ground, although at a terrific loss.
No intimation has been given by offi
cials regarding the number of fresh
men sent against the enemy on the
west Various guesses havo been
made, some an high as 70,000.
It was learned that further re-enforcements
aro expected momentarily.
Colonial troops are on their way, not
a few of whom have seen service In
South African and other campaigns.
Struggle With Russians.
London, Oct. 3. Tho groat struggle
botween the armies of RusBla and Ger
many, tho latter re-enforced by the
remnants of the Austrian forces, has
begun. Upon the outcome of tho series
of battles now In progress all along
tho great front from the Baltic on the
north to tho Austrian stronghold of
Cracow In the south the fate of Ger
many hangs, according to tho opinion
of many military authorities.
Germany now faces tho supremo test
of checking the great Russian armies
which threaten Invasion. Unless the
Russian armies can be decisively
checked all along the line Germany
will bo forced to wage a retreating
campaign in defense of Berlin.
For tbls decisive campaign an army
of 800,000 Germans and Austrlans has
boon assembled Just Inside the Russian
Poland frontier from Cracow through
Czenstochowa to Kallsz.
Russians Win In North.
The first stage of the great battle
seems to bo in favor of tho Russian
forces. It la ofllclully announced in
Petrograd that Russian armies have
won dcclslvo victories over largo Ger
man forces near the frontiers of
Prussia and Silesia.
Tho Russian embassy In Rome fur
nishes details of tho disaster which
has overtaken tho Gorman offensive In
Suwnlkl nnd Lodz provinces. In the
battles which brought about the col-
lapse of tholr Invasion of Russia tha
Germans lost 30,000 killed and 20,000
prisoners. They were bo thoroughly
beaten near Suwnlkl, Ostrovltz, and
other towns that they fled, leaving be
hind them wagon trains, batteries and
baggage.
Russians Aiming at Berlin.
All the news Indicates that Russia
Is successfully following the plans of
her general staff to paralyze German
Initiative along the Prussian-Poland
frontier while hastening an advance
In force against southeast Silesia, the
key to Brcslau and Berlin. The Rus
sian general staff expects to have
troops In Silesia by October 5.
While the success of the Russian
armies has boon so marked In the
north, the advanco through Hungary
Is amazingly rapid.
Germans Wearing Out
Tho German forces on tho weBt ap
pear to bo wearing out from excessive
fighting. Some of tho corps have been
almost wiped out
Tho German attacks In the last
twenty-four hours seem to have be
como lesB energetic. Tho allies havo
been able to repulso them and follow
up tho advantage moro easily.
"Enemy Impedes Us."
Amsterdam, via London, Oct. 2.
Tho Berliner Tageblatt in a leading
article says:
"Tho German people await anxious
ly but with confidonco further newB
from the French war theater. The
newB of tho great advance of tho
French troops against the flank of our
lino should not unbalance ub. Wo
know that our front line Is protected
by broad eschelone, which are ready
to oppose such an enterprise.
"Tho Influence of tho British re-enforcements
makeB Itself moro and
more felt. They are effective to Im
pede ub, though the results will not
bo lasting.
"Tho center of the battle front Is
silent, listening breathlessly to tho
struggle on both wings. Around Ver
dun a decision comes nearer. We
have forced our way through the for
est of Argonne, but found on the
heights on the west of the Mouse a
strong position which the enemy had
prepared."
Airships on Watch.
London, Oct 3. Tho value of the
services given by flying machines co
operating in naval and Military move
ments Is shown by the following state
ment issued tonight by the official
press bureau:
"While the expeditionary force was
being moved abroad a strong patrol to
the eastward of the Straits of Dover
was undertaken by both aeroplanes
and airships of tho naval air service.
By this means it was impossible for
the enemy's ships to approach the
straits without being seen for many
miles."
Denies Loss of Zeppelin.
Berlin, Oct 3, via Tho Hague and
London. The Thorno Gazette contra
dicts tho dispatch from Petrograd
which asserted that tho Zeppelin which
recently dropped bombs into Warsaw
was later captured by tho Russians.
Tho paper says that the Gorman air
craft returned to its homo port intact.
Germans Defeat British.
Cape Town, Oct. 3. A German force
haB defeated tho British in the Rod-fonteln-Warmbnd
district in a battle
which began on September 2G. The
British lost 1C killed and 43 wounded.

Must Look to Legislature.
In deciding that chiropractors are
practicing medicine or healing with
out a license in violation ot tho state
medical law, tho supremo court has
followed precedent and interpreted tho
law as it has from tho passage of the
act in 1891. It has in tho past decided
against the Christian sclenco healers
and against tho osteopaths. The lat
ter Bchool of medicine besieged the
legislature and obtained a law for
themselves which allows their practi
tioners to practice. The chiropractors
havo nothing to do except to make an
onslaught on the next legislature for
the Durnoso of Retting a law passed
that will permit them to be licensed
the same as osteopaths are new
licensed.
A total of 757 state and savings
banks the greatest number of state
banks ever enrolled in Nebraska
have been asked to make their quar
terly report to the state banking board.
Banking conditions on the whole are
believed by banking board officials to
be as good In 'Nebraska as any other
state In the union. A closer co-operation
between tho people and their In
stitutions is said to be apparent in this
state. There is a greater confidence
in the banks on account of the protec
tive laws, and a general air of pros
perity which members of tho banking
board believe should cause people ot
the state to be thankful. Extensive
credit for the condition Is given to the
guaranty deposits law.

horses are likely to eat too much, it

The average farm horse at hard work
is allowed to eat much more of this
and other roughage than he really
needs to maintain his weight One
pound of alfalfa or other hay and
pbout ono and a quarter pounds ot
grain per day for each 100 pounds of
the norse's weight make a good ration
for the working horse-
