" CLAIMING PROGRESS Great Bifie in Po- land Proceeding, GERMANS GHECKED AT VISTULA RIVER Will Make Stuthorn Fight 1)) Stay in Russian Territory, London, Oct. 20.—In the eastera theater of the war the great battle of Poland appears to be progressing in favor of the Russians, who say they have checked decisively the German forces in their attempt to cross thz stula river. The Russians in and around Warsaw are being protectel temporarily from fresh German ar- tillery aggression by reason of thz impassable condition of the country through recent rains and owing to the destruction of the only railroad from Lowicz to Warsaw on which the Ger- mans could transport their heavy guns. Around Przemysl, in Galicia, th2 Austrians assert they have killed ani woungled 40,000 Russians and also have crossed the Carpathians, but o1 the other hand the Russians repulsed an Austrian attempt to cross the San river. That the Austrians are meet- ing with vigorous opposition is admit- ted in the latest official statement, which says: “Our troops are advanc- ing as against a fortress.” The Telegraph’s correspondent at Petrogard says that although the Gei- man-Austrian attempts to cross the Vistula river failed, and the invaders ere compelled to assume the offen- sive, they appear to have retired in #ood order. Will Make Stubborn Fight. The correspondent says the invad- ers are likely to make a stubborn fight in prepared positions before allowing themselves to be driven off Russian soil. The attempt to cross the Vistuli river was made under cover of a ter- 1ific day and night bombardment. At one time the invaders had eighteen bridging attachments trying to throw rentoons across the stream. They were everywhere replused and large qrantities of bridge building material was destroyed. Two German battalions which were allowed to cross the Vistula were an- nihilated, according to one report. The Germans on the opposite bank could not fire without the risk of killin their own men.

Troops are being reassigned to new positions, it is stated, but naturally details of these movements are with- held. While there has been continu- ous fighting on the right wing, and especially at points south from Os- tend, it is announced that at no point has there been decisive results. Only a necessary garrison has been left in Ostend, the report says, the remainder of the troops moving south- ward g The Russians have vainly essayed to resume the offensive in the East, it is annowhced, but nowhere with success.

The Amsterdam corr the Reuter Telegram company says that a message has been received at Amsterdam from Berlin stating that Prince soachim, who was wounded in battle, has recovered and rejoined the army. EVAGUATION OF LILLE REPORTED London, Oct. 20.—“Lille has been evacuated by the Germans for the third time, 's the Telegraph's cor- respondent in the north of France. “This evacuation was made neces- sary by the allies’ capture of Laven- tie, which forced the Germans to has- tily leave the plain between Haze- bronck and Lille. “I along our we have b uccessful and the Ger- mans are [alling back under pressure. It is not even certain they will hold Ostend. Refugees tell me there were no Germans in Ostend on Friday. “The German army has not been defeated in the western theater of action, but its position is one of ex- treme peril.

Three Hundred and Forty-five of fhe Crew Lost, Tokio, Oct. 20.—The light Japanese cruiser Takachiho has been’ sunk by striking a German floating mine while patrolling the coast off the harbor en- trance of Kiaochou, the German con- cession on the Shantung peninsula. Three hundred and forty-four of her crew were lost with her. Only thir- teen survivors were rescued by war- ships. No details of the disaster, the first of any real consequence fo the Japa- nese navy in the present war, have been ¢received. 4 The Takaehiho was one of the old- est of the Japanese cruisers. She was| built in 1885, was of 3,700 tons dis- placement, speed 18.5 knots and was armed with eight six-inch guns, two six-pounders and fourteen machine guns. < ‘When she was remodeled 4n 1900 four torpedo tubes were inserted. GERMANS WITHIN TEN MILES OF DUNKIRK T.ondon, Oct. 20.—The Rotterdam correspondent of the Daily Mail wires that it is reported from Berlin that the Germans have succeeded in eross- ing the Belgian border alongside the coast and that they are now only ten miles from Dunkirk. The correspond- ent adds that the Germans are ac- companied by heavy siege guns and that it is understood an attack on the Dunkirk forts will scon begin. There is no official confirmation of the report here. It is stated at the war office here that no reports have been received which would indicate that the Germans-had crossed the French frontier. However, it is point- pd out.that the extreme left wing of the allied army is now made up of a combined Belgian-French force and it is stated that news of its falling back would first come from Pari Several Greek Villages Destroyed by Earthgrakes.

CAMPAIGN ISSUE Liquor Interests iined Up Solidiy | | board fence and telephone pole, on In Support of - Democratic Nominee for Governor. Minneapolis, Minn.,, Oct. 19.—The democratic candidate for governor is still calling on Willidm E. Lee for par- ticulars on the subject of brewery con- tro! of politics. Mr. Iammond started out on this tack and he does not see his way clear to switch, but it is a most embarrassing line of campaign for him. Mr. Lee's rejoinder is “look about you,” and the public now has all the evidence it wants to show that the brewery machine is backing Hame mond. If elected governor, Mr. Ham. mond would be surrounded by brew- ery politicians, all with claims on his | consideration, The liquor interests have not hest tated to come out in cold type against Lee and indorsing Hammond. For ex ample there is “Both Sides,” twin city organ of the liquor dealers. It says: “Inasmuch as the stand taken by Nr. Hammond is far more satisfactory to the liqwor trade than that assumed by the republican opponent, Lee, the thing for the readers of this journal ta do is to support Hammond.” The title of this paper, “Both Sides,” has always been looked on as a pretty 2o0od joke, but it is matched by Mr. Hammond's dictum that “there are two sides to this liquor problem™ “Yes,” replies the Fairmont Sentinel, democratic, “there are two sides, the right side and the wrong side. Mr. Hammond is on the wrong sile.” “Doth Sides” is openly a liquor champion, but the brewers tried to cover up their hand when they put out the ‘“Bulletin” of the “Merchants’ & Manufacturers’ Association,” which claims to be a state organization of business men. " The “Bulletin” is given over to attacks on county op- tion, criticism of William E. Lee and praise for his democratic rival. No editor’s name appears, but it is mow admitted that the editor is Curtis L. Mosher, who has a desk in the office of Fred Zol'man, attorney for the brewers’ association. Also it appears that this “association” has no member- ship fee and that somebody is putting » the money to run it and run the ulletin, which is “furnjshed free to all members.” Anybody'.can join by signing a blank application. = Many business men have been heard from, resenting the use of “merchants” and “manufacturers” to cloak a brewers’ political sheet. % The democratic committee 1s get ting a big campaign fund from some- where. Tt takes money to bill a coun. ty with posters of a candidate, and the republican committee has spent a thousand or go just in getting out an issue of posters and shipping them to volunteer workers. The democrats have actually billed the whole state, Hammond's picture stares from every every road and in every county of Min. nesota. Not less than $10,000 must have been spent just on this line of ad- vertising. The country press has alsa been treated liberally. Papers sup- plied with the democratic news letter have been offered the money to pay for composition, if it was necessary to make an inducement, and in many cases space has been bought outright. There are some prohibition leaders In olinnesota who would rather see county option defeated than have it enacted into law ahead of state-wide prohibition. What their motives are can only be guessed, but they are very hostile to William E. Lee, while they say nothing against the brewers’ can-. didate. Papers supporting Hammond gave much space last week to inter- views with prohibitionists, telling tales about Lee. The head and front of his offending was that he had turned down the prohibitionists cn their prop- osition, that if he would indorse state- wide prohibition, they would withdraw their candidate for governor. Mr. Lee “let it go at that,” for the story in the main was true and he did not object to its publication. But the course of the prohibition leaders, in attacking the man who is also getting his slams from the brewers, is arousing com- ment. The brewers are saying that “County option means prohibition.” The “Bulletin” issued by Mr. Mosher from * Fred Zollman's office says: “County - option, or more properly, county prohibjtion, has been applied to 100 Virginia counties out- of 110 before the recent state-wide vote upon the prohibition question at a special election. The weight of 100 dry coun- ties decided the state-wide vote. Pro- hibition was the resnlt.” The same thing, it is asserted, happened in West Virginia. Then why, it is asked, should the prohibition leaders object to county option? The rank and file do not. They know that ccunty option in Min nesota would immediately ary up the | whole western hzalf of the state, an area bigger than two or three eastern states. Then why is it that prohibi- tion managers try to hamper the coune ty option cause? “The non-partisan argument is being ! taken,in a‘way the democratic leaders ‘ will not relish. Thousands of demo- crats are taking: Mr. Hammond at his | word when he pleads for non-partisan | voting. . These democrats think better | of William E. Lee and the thi he stands for than they do of Hammond ! and the influences that are behind him. So as “good citizens” they are ' going to vote for Lee, and hundreds such have beea heard from.

ALLIES ENDEAVORING . and Gold: Weather, Paris, Oct. 20.—Although fighting in the north continues at several dif- ferent points official reports reaching military headquarters indicate that the Germans are not in sufficient force to penetrate the allied lines at the extreme northwest, just_north of the Belgian border. "Little early change 1s looked for at this point. Between Arras and the neighbor- hood of Soissons the allies continue to drive the Germans back and at points have driven wedges into the German line, which, it is reported here, reaches to the main line of in- trenched positions maintained direct- 1y west of the main lines of German communication. ) ’ It is believed here the Germans will be compelled to evacuate St. Mihiel very shortly, inasmuch as the French advance is proceeding steadily near that point, the most advanced of the German positions on the north. The French armies operating from Nancy and Toul continue their efforts to penetrate the valley of the Moselle, the objective presumably being Metz. Operations are being hampered by the heavy rains and cold weather. Official and unofficial reports from the north agree that all of the roads have been badly damaged by the transport of heavy guns and supply trains and that they are difficult of passage, while the fields generally are veritable bogs through which men and horses floun- der.
