TjONDON. Oct. J7. The, correspondent
of the MorninK Poet, writing from a point
near Rhelms, under data of Saturday, and
discussing the sltustlotT In tha eastern
part of the Aisne valley, says:
"it Is possible that the Germans intend
tn hold this line all winter and If they
fortify their positions. It la quite possible
that they ran do so. It la certain that
they can make no further move Into
Trench territory.
"Around Rhefms there is now only one
point where the German have heavy ar
tillery and this consists of only one bin
Itun and twenty pieces of smaller field
arllllea-y. These are all Austrian. This
artillery Is located near Berru, soma dis
tance from the city, which, however. Is
well within the rang of the bis; nun.
This gun is a rapidly moving piece, pulled
by a moVr tractor and contents itself
with a shot or two dally.
'The German Infantry .lines, however,
are much further advanced. The German
trenches at Betfieneny run in a long un
broken line around to the right by Cornay.
' At no point are the French trenches more
tt.n a few hundred yards away.
Geraaaa Malatata Ground.
The Germans have lost no ground since
Of French captured Rhelms. There la
continual sniping from the trenches. The
ground between the trenches Is thickly
covered with barbed wire entablements.
"Four hundred German prisoners were
taken Thursday and brought Into Rhelma.
They made tha customary German com
plaints of extreme hunger, but the French
are beginning to be skeptical as to these
complaints, for the prisoners bear no sign
of famishment.
The German officers boast thst the Ger
man strength lies la the superiority of
their artillery and tha efficiency of their
JP7 system, both of which have been
only too well proved daring the campaign.
Tbej German lines show frequent signs
of activity, calling for constant watch
fulness In this vicinity.
"In the meantime the artillery duel
along the eastern part of the Aisne val
ley la being continued with great violence.
Although the allies seem to hold the ad
vantage, the battle here la far from ended
and the strong fortified positions held by
the Gersnana will call for exceptional
measures.".

Norris Makes List of
Alleged Lobbyists
WASHINGTON. Oct. J7.-The list ei
persons he believes should be called be
fore the senate lobby committee In con
nection with ' his charges that a lobby
has worked In tha Interests of liquor
produoers to prevent a tax on whisky
and an Increased levy on beer, was
rearing completion today by Senator
Norris of Nebraska, He made the
charge in the senate during the final
discussion of the war revenue bill.
Senator Norris already has submitted
a partial list to Chairman Overman of
the committee. Among those whom he
suggests should be called are Royal E.
. Cabell, former commissioner of Internal
revenue, and Theodore Bell of California.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. T7. Theodore
A. Bell denied with heat today that he
had worked to prevent a tax by congress
on whisky and an increased levy on beer.
"I was in Washington," said Mr. Bell,
"solely In the Interest of the grape grow
ers and win makers of California, as
their counsel. I conceive that I had a
right to be there. I appeared openly and
only before committees and aubcommlt
tees charged with oonrdderaUon of the
revenue measures) proposlna; a tax of St
cents a gallon on fortified sweet wine
and 13 cents a gallon on dry wtnea
"Senator Norris waa certainly mialn
farmed wbfen he placed my name, or that
of Roy li. Cabell, who was associated
with me, among those who represented
the beer and whlaky interest.

EGAN LOSES CLAIM FOR .
BIG FEE IN DIVORCE CASE
PIERRE,
8. P.. Oct. 27. (Special.) In
the supreme court today Justice Whitting
handed down an opinion in the case or
George W. Egan against Alice E. Bur
nlfht. Minnehaha county. In which the
lower oourt has been reversed. In this
rate Egan brought suit for a fee for
conducting divorce proceedings for his
client, claiming and securing a Judgment
for $1,000. The defendant claimed that all
which was due him was S2S0, claim of
'he defendant 4n the record being that the
fee was to be based upon the amount of
service required of the attorney. In Its
finding reversing the lower court, "the
supreme court says: "The attorney cer
tainly cannot be allowed to place a pot
of gold over asalnst his duty and the
rights of his client; common observation
teaches us which wsy the scales will 'tip
when In tbe hands oT any person who
ees fit to place his selfish desires over
sgalukt his sense of duty."
tlnuea to be the scene of deadliest
conflict, and, although It Is said the
flow of Gorman reinforcements
gems to be without end, they ap
parently have made no noteworthy
advance since gaining this river.
Allies BelaforeeU.
The left wing of the allies has been re
inforced, a fact which may be due in
part to efforts to offset the constant
tide of freeh German troops and In part
to make good the decreased activity of
the British fleet, which, according to
German advices, hss been forced to
withdraw further from the coast because
of the German artillery. No German
ships, aside from submarines, have been
reported In this vicinity. The tone of all
articles Jn the London press seems to
be that the appearance of German war
ships would be welcomed ss presaging
that sea battle for which the Britons long
have teen hoping.
Germany has a number of small cruis
ers at Wllhelmhaven, together with a
detachment of destroyers, and the sudden
appearance of some of these ships woukl
be no surprise.
Dispatches reaching London say Em
peror William has demanded unequivo
cally that Calais be taken, and a tele
gram 1 received today, quoting the Saxon,
Gasette, gives whst purports to be an
ambitious plan of German invasion, once
the north coast of France Is In their
bands.
The towns of West Flanders, over and
through which the battle for the coast
has' been waging, are in . ruins. The
canals are choked with dead and the
countryside la scarred as if by aa earth
quake. That the Germans have not been alone
In heavy losses Is attested by a dispatch,
declaring that the Belgians lost 10,000
men when they were driven from the
banks of the Tser. '
The biggest of the German guns are
now reported to be at Bruges. They ap
parently are yet to be brought into ac
tion and some of the most terrible stages
of the conflict remain to be decided.
Germans Expect to Take Verdan.
There has been no notable change
along the battle line In France proper,
although ths Germans claim that the
fate of Verdun will be sealed promptly
as soon aa their powerful guns get into
action.
From near Rhelms has come a dispatch
dwelling upon the local Indications that
the Germans are preparing to hold their
positions In that part of the Aisne all
winter. Most of the claims from the
eastern arena of the war continue to give
the upper hand to the Russians, although
the Germans are rallying and seeking to
stem the Russian onrush.

EVERY Robert Burns must be uni
form in workmanship, as well as
in the high quality of tobacco
which it contains. Its shape and ize
must be exact. It must be rolled so
that it will be absolutely certain to draw
freely and burn evenly. It must al
ways contain exactly the correct pro
portion' of the full-flavored, mellow
tobaccos which make this cigar so
delicately mild and satisfying.
Such a high standard of excellence
calls for the services of only the most
dxpert cigar makers. Because -of this
standard, the majority of the workmen
now making this hand-made cigar have
been specially trained for this work in
the Robert Burnsfactories.
In making the "filler' the greatest
care is taken to make sure that the
blend of tobacco is just right. Long
leaf only is used. The skill with which
this filler is made is readily seen by
the uniform evenness of every Robert
Burns cigar. After covering the filler
with a special leaf of carefully selected
tobacco called the "binder", the cigar
is ready for its wrapper.
The wrapper is deftly cut by hand
from a leaf of imported Sumatra. This
is rolled around the "filler" at just the
right tightness.
Inspectors keep a close watch over
this. If a cigar is rolled too tightly or
loosely it will not draw properly.
The inspector examines every finished
Robert Burns and those which are not
rolled properly are thrown out.
The Robert Burns' which you receive
will, be right absolutely right. You
can depend on it.
You'll find it a good plan to keep a plentiful supply of Roltert Burns
on hand in your office .desk, and in your humidor nt home.
- "When a man wants a Robert Burns he wants it. No other cigar will
take its place. Because no other cigar is as mild and generous in mellow,
fcmooth flavor as the Robert Burns.
Light up a Robert Burns NOW and enjoy satisfying mildness which
extends from tip to tip.
The "Invincible" is one of the most popular shapes of the Robert JBurns.
