Among those who spoke was Mrs. back from village to village to the out- skirts of Lille. He says: Lenora Austin Hamlin, St. Paul. She matfe a plea for city plnnx{ing com- missions that should be composed of plain citizelis as well as experts. Machinery is Needed. ‘“What 'is needed,” she said, ‘‘is machinery. to effect things needed. In Masachusetts every city of 10,000 or more is obliged to have its city planning board to which all matters in that line must be referred for ap- iproval. - In Minnesota the limit of population should’ be placed much lower.” Mrs. Hamlin' expressed the hope that the town planning committee of the Minnesota Federation of Wo- men’s clubs will be permitted to work with the league’s committee. Advocates Engineering Bureau. Prof., Frederic H. Bass, University of Minnesota, advocated the creation of an engineering bureau to co-op- erate with the municipal referemce bureau of the university, to supply a consulting engineer where one is needed and to make plans where the town has no engineer. Committees Are Appointed. The convention voted to authorize the appointment of a committee to consider this recommendation amd President Jenks appointed S. A. Siv- ertson, Morris; C. H. West, St. Cloud, and P. J. Frundt, Blue Earth. No Decisive Result for Ei@g Side. ALLIES ASSERT THEY ARE GAINING GROUND Predict Their Arrival in Brussels Within a Month, London, Oct. 23.—“We shall most certainly be in Brussels within a month.” This remark by an officer of the allied army in the neighborhood of the Belgian border represents the impression obtaining in London, even though in the mass of vague asser- tions regarding the progress of the fighting in the vast line from the North sea to the Rhine there is little proof of any specific success so de- cisive as to constitute a victory or defeat. The fighting, from all accounts, is as stubborn as in any stage of the war and every foot of the ground in West Flanders is contested by the in- vaders. A rumor comes from Holland that the allies have blown up the railroad bridge between Bruges and Ghent. It is quite possible that cavalry scouts are in that vicinity, having gone through gaps in the German fighting line. but no advices are at hand to in- dicate the allies have broken through the Cerman line in considerable strength. Important, if True. The destruction of the railroad bridge, if true, is important, as it will interfere seriously with the reported movement of German reinforcements in the direction of Bruges and check the retreat of the Teutons if they are forced, to leave Bruges, which a late dispatch says the Germans are pre- paring to defend. Everywhere along the seventy-mile front from Nieuport to La Bassee, where the Germans are seeking at various points to open the way to Dunkirk, the allies say they are hold- ing their positions. Reinforcements for the German right have been spoken of daily since Ostend was taken and now comes a report from Milan that Austrian troops are being removed from the Austro-Ttalian frontier and sent into Belgium to strengthen the German right wing. Rotterdam advices say 10.000 German marines with machine guns left Antwerp Tuesday night in a southerly direction and that only a few policemen are on duty at the Bel- gian port. Anocther big troop move- ment is reported from Ghent, in the direction of Bruge. Fighting Seems to Favor Allies. Reports that the Germans have been driven out of Ostend and are re- treating toward Bruges and that the German army in West Flanders from the nity of the coast south to Co v ered nto a zig zag line by the combined 5 the British navy and the Dritish. French and Belgian troops seem to coincide in many particulais and in the absence of claims from Berlin of any (ierman advances opinion prevails in Lendon that the fighting among the canals of Northern Belgivm is show- ing resvlts favorable to the allfes. The flelds cof battle in Belgium, Ar- gonpe, Lorraine, the Vosges and as far as Alsace continue to be the scenes of combats where the allies have made gains. but a real decisive result is yet awaited. The official French statement says the Jerman attacks on the left wing of the allies have centered about Dix- mude, Warniton, Armentieres, Rad- inghem and La Basse, and the allies have not given any ground. - & SRR HUSBAND AND WIFE ON SAME TICKET.

A whole family was found dead in one house. In one of the villages 500 dead Germans were found after the fighting. The cartridges in their pos- session, it was noted, were of the old Snider type with a large lead bul- let. “During some of the attacks the al- lies had only time to make rough trenches a couple of feet deep and were obliged to lie in them at full length. They gained much ground, but are now coming in touch with the main German position at Lille, and are digging themselves in until rein- forcements can reach them.” BRITISH WARSHIPS BOMBARD GERMANS London, Oct. 23.—The Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, in a dispatch concerning the fighting on the Belgian coast, says: “For three days British warships have been bombarding the German troops who are trying to reach Nieu- port. With the co-operation of the French artillery, the Germans were driven back on Middelkerke, where the invaders are entrenching them- selves. “The Germans bombarded Nieuport from Marlakerke, their attack being vigorously replied to by the allies and the warships. The battle is not yet decided. Many villages have been shattered and are in flames.” Lo R R R R R MANY NATIONS ADOPT WAR INSURANCE. Washington, Oct. 23.—War risk marine insurance bureaus similar to that recently put in operation by the United States have been established by the governments of Belgium, Den- mark; France, Germany, Greece, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Norway and Sweden, according to announcement made by the department -of commerce. ofo oo oo ofe ofe oo oo oleole ok obe o dole ok ot R R 0 T T I SR T S T i R R SRR R R NOT A PLACE OF REFUGEE England to Remove Yessels lntemed! in Suez Canal. i London.
