REPULSE GERMANS Say Invasion From Prussia Fails, MUSGOVITES BEATEN, BERLIN DECLARES Left Wing Forced Back After Desperate Fighting, Tondon, Oct. 6—Official advices from Petrograd assert the German in- vasion from East Prussia has failed and that the Germans are leaving the borders of the provinces of Suwalki and Lomza. The official statement adds that on the left bank of the Vistula river and in Galicia the sit- uation remains unchanged. The statement makes no mention of the campaigns in the Carpathians, but unofficial advices received here by way of Rome assert the Russians have taken all the passes in the mountains and begun an invasion of Hungary, having- occupled Hosszum- ezo. There the Cossacks are said to have crossed the river and cut the railway at Cziget, thus isolating the remainder of Hungary. Advices from the Central News correspondent at Petrograd tell of the reported capture by the Russians of the heights between four and five miles of the Austrian fortified town of Przemysl, adding that the Austrians have several times vainly attempted to retake the positions. Russian Left Wing Defeated. Berlin official advices contend the Russian left wing, while attempting to cross the River Niemen near Au- gustowo, has been defeated after a furious battle lasting two days, and adds that 3,000 Russians were made prisoners and many guns, including rapid-firers, were captured. On the other hand, Russian official advices say the Germans were routed by bay- onet charges and the “whole line of German retreat s blocked with the bodies of their dead.” If the Russian reports are correct it means the German offensive move- ment toward the River Niemen from Bast Prussia has been stopped and General Rennenkampf, the Russian commander, has been given an oppor- tunity to assume the offensive. The advices also would indicate the im- portant fortified town of Ossowetz has been relieved from investment. Late advices discredit the earlier reports that the Russians were invest- ing Cracow. It hardly was possible for the Muscovite forces to have reached Cracow in such a short time, but a report that Cossacks have reached the neighborhood of this strongly fortified Austrian town is 1 ble, as the famous Russian cav- alrymen are showing the same ability in the eastern field of action as are the Uhlans in the western war area. TWO OBJECTY IN MOVEMENTS Russian Advance Into Hungary. Rome, Oct. 6.—News from Russian headquarters says the invasion of Hungary through the Carpathians has two objects. The first is to insure the flank of the Russian army operating against Przemysl and along the San rviver, and the second is to open a new fleld of action in the vast Hungarian plains, where it can frighten the pop- ulation, disturb the drilling of Hun- garian reservists and recruits and cut the railway communications, be- sides freely feeding an important por- tion of the army from the resources of the country. 1t is recalled that during the Rus- sian-Turkish war of 1877 an expedi- tion, commanded by General Gourko and mostly composed of cavalry, did the same thing crossing the Balkan mountains and entering Eastern Rou- mania. JOHNSON'S BAIL FORFEITED But Government May Be Unable to Collect Negro’s Bonds. Chicago, Oct. 6.—The $55,000 bail bonds of Jack Johnson were forfeited in the United States district court, but the government is said to have a poor chance of collecting. The bonds were provided by the late Matthew Baldwin, whose estate is insolvent, and by Johnson's mother, also said to be unable to pay. The bonds were furnished to guar- antee Johnson's appearance for re- trial of charges that he violated the Mann act. Reasons for AT A COST OF $250,000 Second Wireless Tower in Panama Chain Completed. Washington, Oct.6.—At a cost of $25,000 the navy department has just completed at Darien, on the isthmus of Panama, the second station of a chain of wireless towers, expected to maintain communication between the great Arlington station, Central America, California, Hawaii, Samoa, Guam and the Philippines. This new tower is composed of three 100-foot structures forming a triangular 900-foot base. The other links of the chain will be completed as soon as the necessary fortifications can be constructed to defend. them against attaek. Ploneer want ads bring results.

Prince Oscar, the fifth son of the kaiser, led his regiment at Verdun in a most desperate battle. The French, including Turco sharpshooters in trees, picked off the officers, of whom 8o many were lost that the companies were led by sergeants during the hot- test part of the fighting. Prince Oscar headed the column and, shouting at the top of his voice, led the charge which finally was suc- cessful. He got so excited that he collapsed after the victory with acute heart cramp, brought on partly by several days’ exertion prior to this fighting. FRENCH PREDICT GERMAN RETREAT Paris, Oct. 6.—The northern flank- ing movement continues. The allied armies, constantly reinforced, are steadily extending their lines north beyond Arras. By sheer force of numbers they are pushing the German right wing stead- ily eastward. Every attempt of the Germans to break through in the neighborhood of Roye and Lassigny and so relieve the pressure on the extreme northern line has failed. The outcome, the military experts here say, will soon be the long looked for German retreat to the new line of defenses in Belgium. The pressure is becoming so great that if for mo other reason strategic considerations will force a withdrawal, The center, from the Oise to the Argonnes, has witnessed no change for more than a week.. Here both armies remain in strong intrench- ments, their fate depending on the battles in the west and east. The army of the crown prince is still be- ing pressed backward in the Woevre region, while the French columns, ad- vancing from Toul and Nancy, have forced the Germans to lift their siege of certain Meuse forts. TO ASSIST THE ALLIES Berlin Predicts Portugal Will War Soon. Berlin, via wireless to Sayville, L. I, Oct. 6.—The day’s German official report chronicles the fact that the Indian troops' landed recently at Mar- seilles have left that port for the northward and asserts British ships have arrived at Lisbon and probably are destined to transport Portuguese troops. “Portugal’s co-operation in the war is imminent,” says the official state- ment. “The mobilization of the Por- tuguese forces, it is believed, has been ordered on the demand of the British government.” B R R R R R TR XX Enter HEIGHTS AT PRZEMYSL IN RUSSIAN HANDS. London, Oct. 6.—A dispatch from Petrograd to the Central News states that a member of the Russian duma, who has just returned from Galicia, de- clares that the Russians cap- tured the heights between four and five miles from Przemysl® and that the Austrians have several times vainly attempted to retake them.

London, Oct. 6—Julius Lay, the American ceusul general at Berlin, has advised the United States embas- sy at London that hefinds difficulty in persuading Americans that it is ad- visable to leave Germany, as they prefer to remain.

London, Qct. 5.—British critics. seem unable to agree as to whether the recent re- vival of -German activity in Belgium means a serious at- tempt to take Antwerp and' other points, ‘or whether the operations are merely intended to harass the Belglans and prevent them from tampering with the German line of com- munication. -l' * * * * * e g + * * + +* + * - B D R R GREAT HUSH Seem in Haste o] Take Antwerp.

Fight Thousand Killed During | Present Movement. - London, Oct. 6.—The Antwerp cor- respondent of the Daily Telegraph, telegraphing regarding the- fighting around Antwerp, says: “The Germans continue their des- perate efforts to capture Antwerp. They are in a desperate hurry to ac- complish it, pounding away unceasing- ly with their artillery and flinging their cavalry forward in frantic ef- forts to break through. 'Thoir losses have been enormous and the numbers killed are estimated as high as 8,000 during the present movement. “The Belgians adopted a clever ruse at Waelhem. After the bombardment had lasted several hours the fort ceased to reply, whereupon the Ger- man staff, thinking the fort out of ac- tion, ordered the infantry to advance in close formation. The Belgian gunners waited until they could see the whites of their eyes and then opened a murderous fire. “The German big guns are not be- ing worked by regular soldiers, but by men in citizens' clothing, who wear only an armlet to indicate their mili tary occupation. Undoubtedly these men are employes of the Krupp fac- tory, hastily summoned to replace the losses among the regular gun layers. “The German shells have practical- ly wiped out most of the little villeges and hamlets in the outer circles. of the Antwerp defenses. The Germans still hold Malines, although at a heavy cost, as the town is subject to a constant bombardment from the Antwerp forts.” KILLS SELF OVER SHORTAGE Former Secretary of Polish National Alliance Ends Life. Chicago, Oct. 6.—Simon J. Cecho- wicz, former secretary of the Polish National alliance, and under indict- ment for the alleged embezziement'of $7,000 funds of the organization, com- mitted suicide by asphyxiation here. Thie' alleged ghortage was disclosed at ‘the convehtion of the 'allidnce at Detroit ~fourteen months ago and caused a sensation among the 100,000 members. Cechowicz was dismissed from office. Worry over his predica- ment is assigned as the reason for his suicide. PENALTY FOR MADERO DEATH Jose Sandoval Executed fon His Part in Assassination. San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 6.—Jose Be- nales Sandoval, courtmartialed and execnted at Jiminez, Mex., several days ago, was put to death because of his alleged implication in the kill- ing of Gustavo Madero in Mexico City and not because he appeared at the Jiminez headquarters of Francisco Villa as the emissary of Felix Diaz. This was announced at the headquar- ters of the faction which supported former President Huerta during the recent revolution. PRAIRIE FIRE IS SUBDUED Loss - From Blaze in North Dakota May Reach $100,000. Mandan, N. D, Oct. 6.—Fire losses in the district swept by prairie fire probably . will total $100,000. The flames were subdued after spreading over a district from three to twelve miles wide and thirty-five miles long. More than 700- men and women fought the flames, a large proportion of these being Indians on the Stand- ing Rock reservation, where the most severe suffering will result. VILLAISTAS READY FOR WAR Fighting at Naco Continues With Slight Léases. Naco, Ariz, Oct. 6.—The Villaista troops, commanded by Governor May- torena of Sonora, who are operating’ across the border from here, appar- ently are “preparing for another at- tack on the positions at Naco, Sonora, defended by General Benjamin Hills, Carranzaista. Desultory fighting continues, with little damage to either side. Several bullets feil-on American soil.

The Democratic candidate wants to know who it is that this brewers’ organization influences. He calls upon me to name the men; he char- ges that some of them who have in the past been so influenced are now supporting me for governor. In re- ply to his demands I may say that I have been a candidate for governor in two campaigns. The issues upon which I have ‘asked the support of the people are: The need of a more efficient and bueiness-like administration of the state’s buisness; and.the need of driving this brewery organization out of politics; and I have given as one of the best methods tq accomplish this last and, most desired result, the: placing upon the statute books of Minnesota what is known as a coun- ty option law which will enable the people to vote upon the license ques- tion by counties. His Appeal for Votes. 1 am making my appeal for votes to the people who stand for good govs ernment, first, last and all the time: who are opposed to all special priv- ileges; who insist that their homes, their families—the boys and girls they are bringing up—are of more importance to them than is the pe- cuniary interest of the brewers of Minnesota. This is a dominant is- sue in this campaign. Personalities are irrevelant, and I refuse to be drawn into a discussion of them. Why No :Whiskey Tax? In conclusion, I desire to ask the. Democratic ¢andidate. a question which has a direct bearing on his attitude toward liquor interest in legislation: “Mr. Hammond, will you pléase ex- plain why the ‘War Revenue Bill,’ (in the preparation of whi¢ch you are credited with much influence) does not place a tax;on whiskey” Subscribe. for'the Pioneer.
