When the throbbing little pop-pop ma chlnee, wlth thelh engines eputterlnf fu riously, rtp around the rough board track of the stadium speedway these fall days In order to furnish Omaha the thrills which accompany auch appalling speed, a little group of four young women can always be seen over by the riders' sheds anxiously watching the machines com plete each circle. They watch carefully, their perceptive eyes taking In very movement of the quivering machines, their acute sense of hearing alert for the even explosions. If a wheel swerves, they see; If a cylinder misses, they hear. Noth ing escapes their observation. For that little group of four women constitutes the wives of four of the motorcycle riders. The four riders who are married are Morty Graves, Henry Lewis. Charles Suddeth and Tex Richards. Mrs. Graves, Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Sud deth and Mrs. Richards are always on hand when their husbands are on the track. At the match races they are there and even at the trials when the riders tune up they are present. Always opti mistic and pulling for their husbands to win, they are constantly fearful of a fa tal accident. Every one of the riders has taken a fall at soma time or other and they know they will fall again, but they live In hope that they will never suffer a fatal accident. Mrs. Suddeth waa present at the track last Saturday when her husband broke through the fence boards and fell from his wheel. Bhe promptly fainted s bis slight form was hurled over the track. But ahe recovered almost Instantly and not a word of complaint waa heard to escape her lips. She has never asked Charley to quit riding, but Just the same she wishes he were engaged In some more safe profession. Mrs. Graves has often tried to make Morty quit the game, but the speed bug Is well entrenched In Morty'a system and Morty ia loath to quit All of the young women are familiar with motorcycles and motorcycle racing They can talk as Intelligently on engines as can the most expert mechanic and they can tell with acute approximation the speed the machines are nrnklng around the huge saucer. They can dis cern engine trouble of any kind by the popping of the exhaust and they can nearly alway tell Just what that engine trouble Is. They have all seen their husbands fnl and they all expect to see them fall again. They are confident nothing will occur when the riders are traveling apart, but when two of them swing close to gether each woman will admit that a lump, which should behave itself, will Jump high Into her throat and lodge there until the danger la passed.

The official press bureau issued tonight a de scriptive interview of the operations in France of the British forces and the French armies in immediate touch with it, . communicated by an eyewitness presented at the head quarters of Field Marshal John French. This account, which sup- I plements that issued September 24 from general headquarters, follows: "September, 25, 1914. For four days there has been a comparative lull all along our front. ; This has been accompanied by a spell of fine weather, though the nights are much cooler. One cannot have everything. I however, and one evil result of the sunshine has been the release of flies, which were torpid during the wet days. , 1 Fresh Troops Believe. "Advantage has neen taken of the arrival of reinforcements to relieve j by fresh troops the men who have been on the firing line for some time. Several units, therefore, have re ! cetved their baptism of fire, during the week. "Since the last letter left general headquarters, evidence has been re ceived which points to the fact that during counter attacks on the night of Sunday, September 20, the Ger man Infantry fired into each other as the result of an attempt to carry out the dangerous expedient of a con rerglng advance in the dark.. "Opposite one portion f our position i considerable massing of hostile forces was observed before dark, and some hours later a furious fuvslllade was beard In front of our line, though no bullets came over our trenches." Confined to Artillery. This narrative begins with Septem ber 11 and covers only two days. "On Monday, September II. there was but lit tle ralu and I be weather ! took turn for the belter, which has been main tained. The action was practically con fined to the artillery, our guns at one point shelling and driving away the enemy, who were endeavoring to con struct a redoubt. The Germans for their pnrt expended a large number of heavy sheila In a long range bombardment of a I village. ! "Reconnoiterlng parties sent out dur ing the night of September 11-22, discov ered some deserted trenches and In them 1 or near them. In the woods, over 100 dead and wounded were picked up.

"Tuesdny, September 22, was also fine, with less wind, and was one of the most uneventfi 1 days that has passed since we reached the Aisne uneventful that is, for the British. There was less artillery work on cither side, the Oermana, never theless, giving another village a taste of the 'Jack Johnsons'. "The spot thus honored was not far from the ridge where aome of the most severe fighting In which we have taken part occurred. All over this 'no man's land' between the linea, the bodies of Ger man Infantry are still lying In heaps where they have fallen at different times. "Espionage plays so large a part In the conduct of the war ey the Germans that It la difficult to avoid further refer ence to the subject Frederick's Kpiarrau. "They have evidently never forgotten tne saying of Frederick The Greet: 'When Marshal Soublse goes to war he Is fol lowed by a hundred cooks; when I take the field I am preceded by a hundred spies.' "Indeed, until about twenty years ago, there waa a paragraph In their field service regulation directing that the serv ice of 'protection In the field' e. g. out posts and advanced guards should always be supplemented by a system of espolnage. 'Though such Instructions are no longer made public, the Germans, as Is well known, still carry them Into effect. Apart from the more elaborate arrange ments which were made In peace time r obtaining Information by paid agents, some of the methods which are being em ployed for the collection or conveyance of Intelligence are as follows: Scoate In Plal Clothe. "Men In plain clothes algnal to the Ger man lines from points In the hands of the enemy by means of colored lights at night and puffa of smoke from chimneys by day. Pseudo laborers working In the fields between the armies have been de tected conveying Information and per sons In plain clothea have acted as ad vanced scouts to the German cavalry. ' "German officers and soldiers In. plain clothes, or In French or British uniforms, have remained In localities evacuated by the Germana In order to furnlnh them with Intelligence. Spy Foand la tfcarefc. . "One spy of this kind waa found by our troops hidden In a church tower. His ! presence was discovered only through the erratic movement, of the hands of the church clock, which he waa using to signal to his friends by means of an Improved semaphore code. Had this man not been seised It is probable ho would have signalled to the German artillery at the time of their arrival the enact location of the headquarters and staff. A high explosive shell would then have mysteriously dropped on the building. woman spies have also been caught; secret agents have been found at the railroads observing entralnraents and de tainments. "It la a simple matter for spies to mix with the refugees moving about to their homes; difficult for our troops, who speak neither French nor German to detect them. "The French have found It necessary to search villages and also casual wayfar ers on the roads for carrier pigeons. Among the movements taken by us to guarantee ua against spies Is the pub lication of the following notice printed in French and posted: " 1 Motor cars and bicycle not carry ing soldiers In uniforms msy not circulate on the roads. " 1 The Inhabitants msy not leave the localities where they reside between p. m. and a. m. " "J Inhabitants may not quit their hemes after I p. m. " '4 No person may on any pretext pass through the British lines without an authorization, countersigned by a Brit ish, officer. "Events have moved so quickly during the last two months- that anything con nected with the mobilisation of the Brlt- tsit expeditionary force Is now ancient history.. Nevertheless the following ex tract of a German order Is evidence of the mystification of the enemy and Is tribute to the value of secrecy, well snd loyally maintained at the time in Eng land: , . " Tenth Reserve Army Headquarters, Mont St. Guibert, August 30, 191i. 23.40 corps order 21st, August: The French troops In front of the Tenth army corps have retreated touth across the Sambre, Part of the Belgian army has withdrawn to Antwerp. It Is reported that an Eng' llsh army has disembarked at Calais and Boulogne, enroute from Brussels.' " T. R. Denounces the Liquor Interests COLUMBUS. O..
