(Special Cablegram to New York World ami Omaha Bee.) It Is learned on au thority that cannot be doubted that the battle plans of the allies include hard fighting of the extreme right of the French front along the Vowges and a gradual retreat on the left along the went lines. This it Is ex pected will turn the German army into western France, where it will ultimately be cooped up by the gen eral turning morement and so be un able to get back to the defence of Berlin by the time the Russians get there. Howard Takes New Interest and is Now Coaching the Suff s Jerry Howard, ilnc he la hlsh man In the lint of twelve democratic canilWutPs for the Mate legislature from Ooiiclas county, la again active.

He turned It over to the women and told them to grt busy circularizing these fellows to got them to work for the suffrage amendment. By his figures he shows that at that time hla suffrage bill got sixty-three votes with but thirty-four Hgalnst It. He shows also that In the senate It got nineteen votes with fourteen against It. This beat the bill by four-fifths of a vote in the senate, one-fifth better majority waa required. LONDON. Aug. 28. The conflict of millions appear at last to be In progress. Even such news as the Kaiser Wllhelm Der Grosse pales be side the realization that a titanic tattle is being fought, and that the allies are fighting to block'the road to Paris, which the Germany are hardly farther away from than New York is from Philadelphia. Meanwhile the Russians are draw ing nearer to Berlin. Not even dur ing the first great struggle between Europe and Asia, on the far Man churian plains was the enormous battle fought in such impenetrable silence as far as the outer world is concerned. Only the vaguest gen eralities are given to the people of Great Britain and France by their re spective governments. The German people know little more of what their armies are accomplishing. Fichta splendidly. All the information the British public obtained today was the re port that the French announced hy Premier Asqutth. In the House of Commons, that the army was en gaged on Wednesday against a su perior force and fought splendidly, and that he considers its position and prospect in, the impending battle satisfactory. After midnight the official news bureau gave further Information that the French operations, extend ing over a distance of 250 miles, necessitated changes In the position of the British troops, which are oc cupying a strong line supported by the French on both flanks to meet the German advance. The Impending battle undoubt edly is an attempt by the Germans with the bugest army ever employed for a swift attack, to sledgehammer its way through he allies' defensive barrier, while trying to outflank them between their left and the sea board. The Pall Mall Gazette critic says that the fighting has been on a front twenty miles along the line between Cambral and Le Cateau and between the rivers Scheldt and Sambre, while the Germans have been steadily at tempting an outflanking movement by forced marches. The allies have the advantage of working on Interior lines and have been falling back in the Interest of concentration. The Russians appear to be stead ily advancing in east Prussia. They are approaching the great fortress of Koenigsburg and have crossed the river Alle at several points. While they continue their advance with Po sen as their objective, they are con fronting the Austrians between the Dniester and the Vistula and claim a number of victories along that line. The Austrians assert that they ' have defeated the Russians In a six days' battle near Krasnik, Russian Poland, repulsing them decisively over the entire front of about forty three miles. A dozen battles are be ing fought around a great wall of German and Austrian bayonets, all of which would be considered mile stones of history in less overwhelm ing days. Are Saaa.ll Episodes. The sinking of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse by a British cruiser and the loss of the German cruiser Mag deburg are small episodes in the chronicles of a day. The British public is becoming restless under the suspense. The newspapers are beginning to demand a loosening of the censorship, wnne women throng the war office for word whether their husbands and sons are among the 2,000 British dead and wounded of the last week's fighting. REFUGEE FROM PARIS VISITING IN SHENANDOAH SHENANDOAH, la., Aug. ?7. (Special.)

He threw on the air and had almost brought his train to a dead stop when the other en gine crashed into It head on. So terrific was the Impact that the boilers o. both engines exploded and cast debris for hun dreds of yards. Fry and hla fireman Jumped bfore the crash. The other ciew stuck to their posts. The era ii and the explosion of the holl ers were accompanied by the breaking of glRss in the car windows and the piling up of seats.

And per haps needless to remark that original prices were much more. SATURDAY for a fare-you-well sale, $1.98 each.. THEN THE WAISTS Sold be fore up to $3.50, in oue lot, 50c each. Comment Superfluous. Not only does the speeding of the months give warning of the passing of the seasons, but we have just hud Au tumnal Air, and Cloudy Skies. Every where the leaves are falling, the morn-' ings are chilly and the evenings cool. HERE IS JUST THE TIME and PLACE to talk COATS. We have gathered up all the medium weights just right to pull ou when driving or sitting out doors desirable every one. Should be for these are COATS which sold previously as high as $25.00, Sat urday, $5.00 each. LINEN AND WASH COATS, SUITS AND SKIRTS A medley lot and yet there are suits which sold as high as $25.00. And coats which wero from $5 to $15. -No holding out of the best ones but pood picking for vou. The price seems no, is absurd, $1.49 each. Should iriean a scramble.

Walk across the aisle, take ;i peep at the new wool dress goods, ho ugh t at the lowest prices. All landed before the trouble started. And speaking of trouble, how thankful we should be In this favored land of ours. How our hearts go out to kin across the ecu. What awful carnage, makes one almost doubt whether there has been much evolution after all. And yet, surely there must be a purpose In the mind of Him who "plants his footsteps In the sea and rldeg upon the storm." Ours In such a mixed, such a cosmopolitan people; everywhere ties of blood. We should ab stain from airing our views. "Don't rock the boat" was mighty good advice. Personally, we believe that the newspapers all over the country should abstain from publishing either letters or editorials criticising one country or another. We are the friends of all. We can best continue that happy state by keeping our tongues oilent and our pens quiet. Thank God we have a man of peace at the helm. A peace loving man. should not by word or deed make his lot harder to bear than it is, for verily he Is a man of sorrows. DON'T HOCK THK 1MJAT. We have secured a liberal stock of D. M. C. cotton. Kr?nch. All sizes. . We paid a little advance to get the stock. Within a short time there will be no stock in all this broad land. And no more to be had till all this cruel war is over.
