¥ VOLUME 12, NO. 134. ALLIED ARMIES GAIN ON BOTH GERMAN WINGS (American Press.) Paris, Oct. 1.—In a final effort to turn both wings of the German army, now retreating on the left and right, reinforcements are being rush- ed east and north by the French military staff. There has been no let-up on the two ends of the waver- ing battle line since last Friday. Vienna, via Rome, Oct. 1.—Four gigantic battles and*two fort bom- bardments involving fully 6,000,000 | men, is in progress in eastern war theatre today. At no point has there been any decisive result and it will be several days before fighting will reach a crisis: London, Oct. 1.—Slight. advances by both wings of the allied armies, is indicated by an official statement is- sued by the French war office today, and at the same time described the general situation as unchanged. “We have nevertheless,” says statement, ““made progress on our left to the north of Somme and our right in the southern Woevre district. Peking, Oct. 1.—German reports from Tsingtau, fortified position in Kiaochou territory, indicates the Germans’ retirement from second line of defense around Tsingtau Monday, due to numerical strength of the Jap- anese. This report says that the Japanese losses were 1,700 killed. London, Oct. 1.—According to the official bulletin given out by the war office in Paris the turning movement of ‘the allles on their left wing north of the Somme river I developing rap- idy. No one knows except those on the ground just how the great siege bat- tle of the Aisne is progressing, but there are many indications that its nineteenth day may be witnessing a stupendous and decisive struggle in the valley of the Somme. Between the Rivers Oise and Aisne the Germans have delivered a vigor- ous attack on Tracy-le-Mont, north- east of the forest of Aigue, which has been repulsed .with heavy losses.

The teams are old rivals to discount this story, although they consider the breaking of the German right wing would be only a natural result of the great turning movement which, according to line given out by the French official reports, shows | the German right wing virtually is at! right angles with the rest of the line. Reports Show Similarity. For the first time in the war there is some concordance in the drifts of the reports from the headquarters of the three armies holding the center of the stage in France. It is to be noted, however, that corroboration by one side of claims of the other is largely negative. The French ad- vances in the vicinity of Verdun and Toul have been renewed, according to the official German statement, and the communication of General Joffre, com- mander-in-chief of the French forces, agrees with it in the statement thnt his troops have made “slight progress” in the fleld. At the other end of the 3250-mile line the “allles are holding their own,”, is the report from British headquar- ters, and the Berlin announcement seems indirectly to admit this claim by announcing that battles on this line have been indecisive. Both the French and German official reports agree the center is relatively calm. The fact that the German army head- quarters admit their great efforts to throw back the pressure of the allies is regarded in England as significant. Belgium again has been the scene of fighting which in a war of less magnitude than the present titanic struggle would be called a grest bat- tle. as it is estimated that more than 160,000 men were engaged in the Ant- werp triangle. Desperate fighting took place along a line extending from Termonde to Aerschot. The Germans are reported to have been reinforced from the south of Brus- sels and stendily are drawing their lines about the Antwerp fortresses. German Troops Recalled. That Germany is hard pressed by the allies In France is indicated in advices from Copenhagen that all the German troops who have been in Schleswig, Prussia, have been sent hurriedly into France and Belgi and to protect Sylt, one of the No. Frisian island, on the west coast of Schleswig. These soldiers will be re- placed by swm:ller divisions of land- strum tro Partridge Suicides. W. B. MacLachlan, captain of the City of Bemidji, will have his part- ridge dinner today, on the opening of the season, without having to leave his residence yard in an effort to se-: cure it. This morning the captain heard a thud against the outer wall of the house and cn investigating found a partridge, its neck broken. Many other partridges have been found within the city limits. i | Sidewalk tiles are being made in» Iatly of screenings from old brick' and a good game is sure to result. The contest will be played at Grand Rapids, Sunday October 11, and a return game will be played later in the month. The game scheduled with Akeley for Sunday has been cancelled because of lack of practice. Practice will be held near the Armory this evening and the entire schedule will be dropped unless more interest is shown by candidates for the team. MEETING IS POSTPONED.

'Opqort[mlty calls _loudly to the boys and girls of Minnesota through the state’s’ Schools of Agriculture at St. Anthony Park, Morris and Crook- The great development of the rext quarter-century in America is going to be agricultural. Necessity will compel 'this.. The call, therefore, will be. for young men and young women technically trained for life in. the country. The . agricultural supply this training, and it may be work or. six months to each year, or it may ‘be taken on the installment plan as one can find the time and the means to attend the school. i To Practical Subjects. In '.hg courses as. arranged, the| first three months are devoted to practical subjects. This three months’ work in reality constitutes a short course in’ practical farming, and re- places the four weeks’ short course formerly given by the school of agri- | cniture. The schools of agriculture of the Univer: ity of Minnesota, have a very distinet purpose. They are for the boys or the girls who want to know right farming or correct principles of home management, who want to know the science of agriculture or of home building as applied to prac- Suffrage circles were thrown into a flutter by the report that the Baroness de Pazus, who was Mrs. Frank Leslie and who died on Scpt. 18, left nine- tenths of “er estate, cstimated at $2,- 000,000, to the causc: According to the report, Mrs. Carrie Charman Catt, j president of the Internaticnal Wom- an Suffrage alliance, has bcen named to direct the expenditure.

D. Mayne, princi- pal of the school at St. Anthony Park. ‘“These young men could come to the school of agriculture to much better purpose. Even if they did not intend to take more than the first three months’ work, they would be the gainers by this plan. In the course as now arranged, we try to give the most intensely practical work in the first three months, and each term’s work is complete in it- gelf. Students may begin in either the fall or winter term. The latter opens the first of the year. “A great inducement to young men of both classes is the low cost of liv- ing at the school. I know of no in- stitution where so much can be had for so little in living, or where in- struction may be had at so low an expense rate.” ELKS TO INITIATE.

LESSONS IN PUBLIC HEALTH Are to Be Given in Public Schools of State During Winter. Minnesota’s public schools will this winter give instruction in pub- lic health.

He urged lower interest for the farmers. That the issuance of the curtency was unnecessary and results in the inflation of currency and expands credit and causes higher interests, he claimed. Lindbergh condemned the banking system as it now stands and said that it is in every way favorable to the interests of Wall street and enables them to gain control of the financial conditions of the country. In speaking of the war nltuuuon he said that it is bound to paralyze busi- iness conditions in all parts of the country and will eventually effect this section, placing money at high in- terest and making it almost impos- gible to borrow. Boss Rule Continues. , Boss rule still continues in con- gress, said the congressman. The people know nothing of what really goes on in congress for matters are prearranged in committee rooms be- hind locked doors. This, Lindbergh has been fighting for many years and will not be content until committee action is public and the newspapers allowed to print whatever is done and said and the people allowed to know the facts.
