By R. M. TOMLIXftOV. Correspondent of the World and the lxn don Dally Newt. f Copyright. 1914. Press Tubllohlnt Co.) OOl'RNAT, Near Rourn. Wednesday lHrht. Via Liondon, Sept. . (Bpecisl Ca blegram to New York World and Omaha Boa.) I talked today with a, noncom tnlantoned officer belonKmc to a regiment named after an eastern county of Ens land, who had been at tne front fighting the laat ten days, almost continuously night and day. And very hard fighting, too. "Our only reit w'aa when are were on the march retiring." he a Id. "Thlt German attack la certainty ex traordinary. You can throw them down and mow them down, but still they come oo. and directly the gat are made In their ranka fresh men fill them up. There eeeme to be an Inexhaustible supply of freeh troop. It It Impossible to oppoao ucoaaafully turh a meat of men." Allied Troop (oaf Meat. But still from my observation and my talk with men and officer, there need bo Bo concern In England about the en thuataam and confidence and good aplrlta of both tbo British and the French forcea. They do not mlnlmlxe In any way the power of the enemy, but Jt ia atrange that the rapid and Irresistible ruth of the Germane, which In England may ap pear Intenaely alarming, doea not worry th French or the British aoldlera. Thay kollovo themselves well placed and are eurprlalngly quiet and confident, and are patiently working away and watching and waiting tor their day, which la to come. Nothing that hat yet happened In tho campalff baa made any of them la the leaat deapondent. When tho hlatory of thlt war It written It will ba aaen that wonderful at hat been tho German advance, tho retire ment of tbo killed forcea haa been equally magnlflotnt. It la hardly poatlble to un derstand why auch reck lent masses of men and gune (and -It la believed that nearly all tho Gorman army la In France) continuously puihtng along, should not overwhelm every human force, however well armed and skillfully handled, which stands before It. It looks to mo from all the evidence I can gather that If the Germans have tho weight, the allies certainly have the tteadineaa and science. These, with rein forcements of troops, will eventually win;- From what I heard of the progress of the German advance up till last Saturday I Judged It would be useful to visit tho little town of (censored) down tha road. . Waltlasj for Hermans. I found as peaceful a countryside as though It had never heard of war. Tha 1ht of a strangely beautiful cathedral atandlng apart from the town wa rest fyl enough, but tbers waa something uncanny about tha shut and silent houses. Not an Inhabitant was to ba seen, and tha.nthe cold truth struck us that tha town had bean evacuated. Crossing a beldg by the railway sta tion a French dragoon laughed when he taw our atartled lookt at what rested be low and against tha bridge's aupporta. They were waiting for tho Germans. The streets were strewn with broken glass bottles. and barbed wire was colled every whet a. Tha little piano It In a hol low and one needed but alight Imagina tion to see tha flaming hell It could be coma at any moment. , DR. JAMES S. FOOTE BACK FROM HIS EASTERN TRIP Dr. James 8. Foot, professor of histol ogy and pathology at the John A. Crelgh ton Medical college, returned Wednesday from Ui east, where he spent the sum mer. Ir. Foote spent the greater part of the summer at the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D. c, where he arranged for the publication of tils book on bones, to bo entitled. "Contribution to the His tology of the Femur." Ir. Alas Hrdllrka. head of the department of physical an thropology at the Smithsonian Institute, will edit the book, the material for which Is furnished by the Omaha doctor. The work will be published by tha Wlater In stitute of Anatomy In Philadelphia The new work has already attracted fa vorable comments from high medical au thorities and will probably throw Into tha discard many of the Ideas of bono struc ture now belt! by the medical profession. Dr. Foote has spent years In tha compil ing of facts nd has ground by ti.ind to tissue peper thinness the thigh bonea of over AM . belngt clwsen from' the am phibians, birds, 'reptiles, mammals and men. MR. AND MRS. G. H. KELLY BACK FROM THE WAR ZONE The fact that ho was a delegate to a peace celebration did not aave George H. Kelly, former president of tha Omaha Commercial club, from tha Inconvenience of war. He and Mrs. Kelly have reached home. At they fled from Taiis three days be fore the actual declaration of war by Germany, they avoided most of tho trouble later tourists eiperlenced. They managed to save their baggage, and stayed quietly In Iondon during most of August Mr. Kelly wss a drlegata to the culrbratlon of 100 yeara of peace be tween England and America. War will continue for a long time, ac cording to the general Impression in Lon don, Mr. Kelly say. The Britons are determined to tee it through to victory. Mrt.

WHITEMORE IS UNABLE TO OVERCOME DEADLY POISON Mri,l. B. Whltemoro, aged tS, who at tempted suicide In her room at tho Bel mont hotel. 16U Dodge street, last Run day night by taking bichloride of mercury pills, died late last night at Ft. Joseph s hospital. Bh la survived by her hu band who la an employe of tha hotel. Mr. Whltemor. following her attempt on her life waa apparently on the way to recovery, but on Wednesday aha took a turn for tho worse and waa removed to tho hospital ITALY WILL MAINTAIN STRICT NEUTRALITY KDW YORK, RopL f.-Dow, Jones Co. today published this Item on their no we ticker : 'Rome Premier Selandra gave out tha following official statement: Tho Italian government Is firmly de termined to maintain strictest neutrality ini corresponding "with the feeling of xne people, although jMp rooted paUilea art felt for England." rym MATCHES FLARES INTO BLAZE WHEN STRUCK BY MORROW After John Matches, a match peddler, had been atrurk by Robert Morrow erc-nle, Matches flared up and lighted on Morrow with the result that both were lodged In Jail last night to await their punishment on tha morrow. Morrow aavt he gavo Matches two bits to buy a little beverage and that Matches drank up what ba bought. and every three miles or so monument were placed, larger at principal point and smaller at obeeure places. Th larger were of aluminum bronte five feet hlKh, set In heavy basea of concrete These monuments had often to be car ried by the men themselves where the path was too much for the pack animals. The concrete has weighed I.VW pounds, and the sand, water and cement for them isd to le. man packed up the steep nountln pathways to the sites. The tertions divided between the two parties aero counter checked each by the other torn the field notes. Fuel waa ararro in tho Arctic reasons, but generally willows enough were found to help out tho artificial fuel. The suf fering and the narrow escapes are things that ran be Imagined. One man waa loat by falling down a glacier to be dashed to! pieces. Another became a physical and mental wreck from the hardships. But at last both parties stood on the Arctic shore and the star and stripes and the British standard were unfurled tide by side. Al together It waa one of the greatest works In surveying that hat ever been done, a peculiar hardship of It being- that the line must go exactly, bo matter whether a lofty mountain, like Ft. Ellas, or a ghastly ravine stood In the way. Many of the mountain, however, were avoided by trl angulatlon and a system of cross observa tion, which established tho points of the line topographically. After the eurveyor and the trlangulator had finished their work of establishing the line the topographer had to msp out the region. To do thlt the topographical party had to reach the high polnta In order to examine the neighboring land accurately, plot Its contour and record with consid erable nicety the rhyslcal peculiarities and the kind of tree growing there, so that should a monument disappear tho site could be relocated and thus avoid tho exhaustive work of tho survey. Bo really the wholo ground waa gone over twice. New York Herald.
