treat.
Success and popularity far ex
ceeding that of all previous years,
has crowned the close of the first
week of the Ak-Sar-Ben fall festival.
Judging from the record breaking
attendance bo far, the excellence of
all the early features on the High
way, its perfect preparation and
management, the Ideal weather
which has prevailed so far and is
predicted for next week, and the en
thusiasm of the local and visiting
thousands who have already joined
In the festivities, the festival and its
leading features to be presented
during the coming six days, will
easily exceed all similar events in
the past history of Quivera.
"If records for the first three days'
attendance have all been broken,"
the crowds ask, "what unequalled
figure will the attendance reach dur
ing the coining week?"
Then the big estival will be at Its
best, Lincoln Beachey, king of the
air, will court death from dizzy
heights, the gorgeous electrical and
fraternal parades will be held, the
new king and queen will be crowned
at a grand ball of unparalleled splen
dor, and last, but not least, thou
sands of former subjects of good
King Ak, now in other lands, will
come back to Cibola for Qulvera's
great Home Coming week.
With more Ideal weather promised,
and the crops all put away, the an
swer seems to be that his majesty
King Ak-Sar-Ben XX, will receive a
bigger and more magnificent wel
come at his coronation, than any of
his predecessors.

Chinese Ministry
Protests Against
Seizure of Railroad
TEKING, Oct. 8. The Chinese govern
ment today replied to the latest Japanese
note. It declared that it considered the
i Japanese occupation of Wel-Hslen In
Shan Tung province a breach of neutral
i lty and asserted that If the rest of the
i railroad in Shan Tung was occupied such
(action would constitute
further viola
tion.
The state council, under the chairman
ship of Vise President U Yu Heng,
reached a consideration of current bust-
speakers contended that the Japanese
would make Shang Tung province another
Manchuria; that the progress of Japanese
troops along Uie railroad was unnecessary
from th military standpoint; that Great
Britain could not be excused from the
disregard shown ly Its ally Japan, of
China's neutrality, and that the Japanese,
In view of the outrages in Shan Tung, are
not treating the Chinese as a friendly na
tion. The government la permitting Chinese
newspapers to report and discuss the
Japanese activity In Shan Tung. It still
continue to prevent, however, the boy
cotting of things Japanese which various
Chinese cities have attempted to inaugur

In a time when practically everything

Each side thus is furnished the news it

vivid story of victory, hut It is only fair

War Summary
French and Oermnn reports
agree that the fighting tin the
western end of the buttle Hue in
northern France continues with
out decisive nilvantafto to either
side. .
In an announcement made
yesterday afternoon In l'arls,
the French War office saya that
a violent action progresses In the
region of lloye, where tho allies
have repulsed all (ierman attacks
on the left wing.
A statement from the German
headquarters Issued lust night
said that the right wing of the
German army In France had re
pulsed renewed efforts on the part
of the allioA to outflank It. To
the south of Uoye the French had
been dislodged from their posi
tions, It was declared. German
advances In the Argonne reglou
were recorded, while the situation
on the center was reported as un
changed. The French state
ment says that the army of the
crown prince has been driven
back In the Argonne district and
thnt slow hut continuous progress
la being made by the allies In the
Woevro district. Nothing, It says,
is to be noted on the line from
Khelma to the Argonne region.
Reports from the eastern arena
of tho war continue conflicting.
Glowing accounts of Husslan suc
cesses, with a new Invasion of
east Prussia, emanates from
i'etrograd and other pro-Hufslun
sources. On the other hand, It Is
claimed that the German army
which drove the Rusaluns from
east Prusala U making a serious
Invasion to (he east and that an
Important engagement along (he

other German and Austrian forces

Indicate that the really great bat

contrary claims regarding the
struggle of the Austrian against
the armies of Servla and Monte

from Bervla says that the Italkan

to Austrian reports, the Invaders
