LONDON, Sept. 21. Brigadier
General Christ ian Frederick Rcyers,
commandant general of the Union of
South Africa's defense forceti, has
resigned his post, because of his dis
approval of the Bciion of Great
Britain in Bending commandoes to
conquer German southwest Africa.
The official press bureau tonight
gave out the letter of resignation of
General Beyers and the reply of Gen
eral Jan Christian Smuts, minister
of finance and defence of the South
African Union.
No Provocation.
General Beyers reminds General Smuts
that In August he (Unapproved of the
vending of commandoes (forces of Boer
troops) to .conquer German southwest
Africa and expresses surprise, that l'ar-
jrarncni.' conTrnnecTTthe resolution of the
a-overnment to conquer the. Gorman terri
tory without any provocation by th-9 Ger
mans. Hs Insists that a majority of the
Dutch people In the union disapproved of
crossing the German frontier.
Referring to a statement that Great
Britain had taken part In the European
war for the sake of justice and to pro
tect the Independence of smaller nations
and comply with treaties, General Beyers
points to the resignation of two British
ministers as evidence "that a strong mi
nority cannot bo convinced of the right
eousness of war with Germany." As to
the protection of smaller nations. General
Beyers says:
Point to Past.
"I have only to Indicate how the Inde
pendence of the South African republic
and of the Orange Free State was vio
lated and of what weight the Sand River
convention was.
"It is said this war Is being waged
against the barbarity of the Germans, i
have forgiven, but not forgotten, ull the
barbarities perpetrated on our country
during the South African war. With very
few exceptions all the farms, not to men
tion many towns, were so many 'Lou
vatns' of which we now hear so much."
General Beyers denies that the Germans
Invaded South African Union territory
and declares "If they did, the Dutch and
British would fight side by side In Its
defence and that he would gladly lead
them."

IflNPON. Sept. :i.-T1ie. unparalleled
struggle on the river Alsne. which com-menr-ed
about a week ago Saturday, has
developed into siege operations. Th two

It Is now becoming the conviction of
military men that nothing but outflank

It Is probably the dexlre to recapture,

connections for attack or retreat, that has
lad the Germans to continue tho bombard

This bombardment haa been of the most
severe kind, and is being directed from
Brlmont. which the French recaptured
but loBt again, and from other hills
around the town, and is of deadly char
acter. The French 'have brought up addi
tional heavy artillery In an attempt to
drive the Germans out of theje hills, for
until thla la dono the situation In the
town must be difficult.
On the allies' left the French report
claims another advance on the right -bank
of the river Oise as far as the heights

been the center of heavy fighting for a
week past.

Severe fighting also continues north of
the Aisne. and In the Craonne district,
where the Germans, the French official
communication says, have been repulsed
pt all points with considerable losses.
This Is an extremely difficult country
oer which to make an advanoe.
The plateau of 'Crnonne Is of limestone,

War News
The strupKlc between the Ger
msns and the allied forcea on the
battle front In France, from
Noyon in the 'Ft to Verdun, the
French war office pays, has be
come less violent. From thin It
would peem as If both sides had
concluded the gaining of a few
yards of ground hardly warranted
the losses entailed and are pre
paring for a strong offensive
movement at some ptrategic point.
Tho French report they have
made progress between Uhelms
and the Argonne forest. On their
left wing they hare reached the
heights of 1-assigny.
With them on this part of the
battle line are the British, who,
according to an official statement
issued by the British bureau, have
fared badly since the beginning
of the war in the loss of officers.
The casualty list shows Jhat 797
British officers are among the
killed, wounded and missing, a
very high percentage of the total
Tosses. Among these are thirty
two colonels and lieutenant colo
nels, eighty-five majors and 246
captains.
The German emperor has taken
up big quarters in Luxemburg,
according to a Paris dispatch. To
guard against possible raids by
French aviators a squadron of
German aeroplanes is In readi
ness to ward off any such at
tempts. A Vladivostok dispatch says
that Japanese aeroplanes have de
stroyed with bombs two of the
Important forts at Tsing-Tau, In
the German protectorate of Kiao
Chow, while Peking reports that
a British detachment left Tlen
Tsln Saturday to assist the Jap
anese in the attack on that place.
The Montenegrin army la be
lieved to be close to Sarajevo,
capital of Bosnia. The Monte
negrin foreign office learns that
the Austrian army is in retreat.
Because of his disapproval of
the action of the British govern
ment In seeking the conquest of
German southwest Africa, Briga
dier General Beyers, command
ant general of the Union of South
Africa's defence forces, has re
signed. President Wilson will take no
further steps for the present re

lief Is growing In official circles here that
Austrian reverses In Omicla. were, to a
largn extent, brought about by exact
knowledge held by the Russian war office
of Austria's mobilisation and campaign
plans, which had been obtained through
an elaborate "system of espionage.
The military authorities, It Is claimed,
two years ago discovered that Colonel
Alfred Redl, chief of the general staff
of the Eighth Austrian army corps, had
betrayed Information of vital Importance
ti Russia, and although It Is thought
probable the Austrian general staff later
made changes In tbelr plans, the military
experts believe the mortifications would
not have greatly affected the general
basis of campaign as worked out.
Colonel Redl was found guilty of being
a traitor and on the advice of brother
officers committed suicide.

KONDON, Sept. 2I.-The Russian grip
on the scattered Austrian forces In
Gallcla Is holding relentlessly, according
to Petrograd advtecs. The fortress of
Jaroslau Is being bombarded, Prcemysl
has been Invested and General Dankl's
army, which Is retreating toward Cracow,
haa been aurrounded. The capture of the
town of Dublerko, on the river Han. by
the Russians, has cut Przemysl off from
the western armies, so that it must now
rely for defense upon the Austrian and
German army corps which are there.
General Pankl Is believed to be In a
difficult position. . Driven out of South4
Poland and separated from the main
body of the Austrian army, he has been
compelled to make a race for Cracow, In
which he was, according to Russian ac-'
counts, beaten by the Russian army com

The Germans have retaliated to some
extent by penetrating the territory of(

"The progressives want a national law

crats say it Is against the constitution
to pass such a law, but In the day when
the constitution was written there was no

"We should choose our laws to suit the

used the malls to defraud the Woodmen
of the. World of Omaha. I'osImI authori

examination.
More arrests in the case are expected
soon, according to William A. Kraser of
Omaha, aoverelgn commander of the
Woodmen. 'He declares the. total amount
of the alleged swindles is at least 15.ii0n,
and that It will probably exceed that sum
by a considerable figure.
"Vot some time Indications have pointed
to fraud," Commander Kraser says. "Evi

systematic plan to rob lis of small
