CALLITA “STRATEGIGAL MOVE” Austrian Defenders with Ald of Rein- forcements Turn on Invading Force—Many Galician Towns Are Retaken. London, Oct. 13,—From the East to- day came tidings of a decided reversal in form, the dispatches both from Vi- enna and . Petrograd indicating tisat the Austrian army at .Przemysl so often reported surrounded,’ hopelessly ‘outclassed and on the verge of sur- render, had turned on the Russians with the aid of reinforcements and forced them to retreat. The first news of this claim ema- hated during the morning from the Austrian capital. It was followed lat- er in the day by what purported to be a Petrograd admission that the Rus- sians had abandoned the siege of Przemys! for strategical reasons, with the object of drawing up a new line against the Austro-German army in other points in Galicia. A dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Company from Amsterdam says that the Russians in Galicia and north of the Vistula are pursued by Austro- German troops. Many towns which a few days ago were in the hands of the Russians are now again under an Aus- trian administration. The message have so badly as the authorities had expected. Even the Cossacks con- ducted themselves humanely. Whatever may be the truth of the situation, the Russians have been claiming an unbroken series of vic- tories in their sweep through Galicia, and the coincidence of today’s dis-” patches supplemented as they were by more circumstantial accounts from Vienna, of a vigorous Austro-German offensive seemed to presage import- ant news. Many Belgians in Holland. The Hague, Oct. 13.—A dispatch to the Nieuwe Courant from Hulst, Hol- land, quotes a Belgian officer as say- ing that the total number of soldiers who have crossed from Belgium into Holland is about 26,000. Belgium troops were fired upon last night by German machine guns on the Belgium frontier not far,from Koc- wacegt, Holland. Many wounded men among the Bel- gian soldiers who crossed the Dutch line have been taken to Hulst, the Dutch government placing -special trains at their disposal. The rest of the Belgians have been taken to Axel for internment. Austrians Claim Victory. London, Oct. 12.—On the east Prus- sian frontier the Russians are still en- gaged with the German rearguard west of Suwalki and to the southeast of Wirballen. Of the battles in Galicia and Poland the Russian staff has decided to say nothing for the present, but ‘the Aus- trians declare that a recent attack on Przemysl has been repulsed and that the Russians have evacuated the west- ern front which the Austrians occu- ‘pied. The Austrians also. claim victories over the Russians at Lanout and Dy- now, in Galicta, It is known that they have received reinforcements, which Petrograd admits has compelled a change in the plans of the Russian army. More alarming reports come, from tria. It is said that there are many cases of cholera in different parts of the country. German Cavalry Routed. Petrograd, Oct. 12.—The Russians have drawn first blood in ‘the battle of the Vistula. They decisively de- feated a cavalry division of Germans westward of Ivangorod. There had been a long and hotly contested can- nonade of the respective positions at long range, when suddenly a masked battery of field guns fully eight miles in advance of the permanent Russian position was brought into play as the German heavy cavalry began to move forward under cover of its big artil- Yery. Instantly the cavalry was thrown fnto confusion and then a brigade of Cossacks rode out from cover ang cut and-slashed the German retreat till it ‘became a veritable rout. The ‘field was strewn with German dead and wounded. The Russian losses were eomparatively slight. Rushing Ald to Przemys!. London, Oct. 12.—The following dis- patch has been received from Rome by the Exchange Telegraph Company: “Jt is stated from Vienna that two ‘AustroGerman columns, rushing to the relief of Przemysl, Galicia, reached Dynow and Rseszow (both towns in: Galicia, south of Przemysl) respective- mee STATINS CLUB WINS THIRD GAME Boston Braves Defeat Athletics After 12 Innings of Hard Work, SURE OF ENTIRE SERIES NOW National “League Team Outplays Americans at Bat and in Field— Huge Crowds Witness Sensi- tional Contests.

Twelve inningg of thrilling baseball were necessary before the National League represen- tatives could record their third con- secutive victory of the present series. So bitterly was the struggle con- tested by both teams that with the Possible exception of the final game between the New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox, in 1912, nothing equalling the third game has been re- corded since the world’s series began under national commission auspices in 1905, = For three hours and six minutes the two teams alternately led, tied or forged ahead in the score, and the game that began in bright sunlight was won in deep twilight with elec- tric signs flashing outside the park and the evening stars glimmering overhead. While not the best played game of the series from the stand- point of technical baseball, it was so abounding in dramatic moments, thrilling plays and baseball strategy that the 35,000 spectators who filled the stands were lifted to heights of enthusiasm by the struggle. Major General Allenby, who has been distinguishing himself on the left wing of the allied army In France, Is recognized as one of the most capable of Great Britain’s cavairy leaders. He won fame in the South African war and In 1910 was made inspector gen- eral of cavalry in England. RELIEF. FOR BRUSSELS DELAYED BY RED TAPE Supplies Cannot be Sent Until Safe Delivery is Guaranteed. London, Oct. 13.—Unable to procure from Washington permission for ship- ments of food to Brussels, where the situation is growing desperate, through American diplomatic establishments, thus guaranteeing them against seiz- ure by the German military, Millard K, Shaler, an American sent to Lon- don by the committee headed by United States Minister Whitlock to make a purchase of cereals, talked to- night about the urgency of immediate action. He said: “Three weeks ago I left Brussels with a credit of $100,000 for the pur- pose of purchasing foodstuffs for the needy in Brussels. The situation was then serious. Since then it has grown .desperate. Immediately after my arrival in London I arranged for the purchase and transport of provi- sions, but I am still awaiting authori- zation to make shipments, The Brit- ish government will permit exporta- tion to Holland and the Dutch govern- ment,.in turn, has promised to permit exportation to Brussels, but we are held up by lack of authorization from Washington to make the shipments in the name of the American ambassa- dor to the American minister at Brus- sels, this being required by the British government, which desires a guaran- tee that the food will not be diverted to German military uses. I hold a .written guarantee from the German general commanding at Brussels that no séizure will be made, but the food will be devoted entirely to the civil population of Brussels. “Nearly a week ago’.the embassy here presented the matter to the State Department, which thus far has been unable to furnish a definite answer about permitting shipments to be made through American diplomatic channels.” RHE The score by innings: Phila. . ..1001000002 00—4 8 2 Boston . ...010100000201—5 9-1 First Game. Philadelphia, Oct. 10.—Playing with the same sparkling speed that mark: ed their rush from last place to the position of pennant winners in the National ‘League, the Boston Braves crushed the Philadelphia Americans in the first game of the world’s series by a score of 7 to 1. re Although the newly constructed baseball machine of “Miracle Man” Stallings wobbled once or twice, it never left the track, and under the guiding hand of Pitcher Rudolph clashed through the Connie Mack champion Athletics, scattering dismay and disappointment in its trau. The victory over the 2 to 1 Ameri- can League tavorites was well won— no lucky breaks. nor baseball flukes figuring in the defeat of the famous Mack men clan. By. sharp, heavy and timely hitting the Braves piled up an offensive lead, which, coupled with Rudolp’s sterling slab work, and the general defense of his teammates, left no opening through which Philadel- Phia’s attack could penetrate. The score by innings: Boston.. .......903001201 Philadelphia... ..01000000 Boston Takes Second. Philadelphia, Oct. 12.—In a pitchers’ battle with a dramatic climax usually reserved for baseball fiction, the Bos- ton Nationals defeated the Philadel- phia Americans in the second game of the world’s series, by 1 to 0. As a result the Braves left for Bos- ‘ton with a two-game lead over the Athletics and the added advantage of playing the next two contests on their home grounds. Although the American League rep- resentatives were forced to bow for the second time in two days to the superior play of their National League rivals, they offered a far more deter- mined_opposition than was the case on Friday. For eight innings the two clubs battled behigd the pitching of James and Plank without the sem- blance of an advantage. Then came the break in the game and again the Mackmen saw another world series contest slip from their clutches to the credit of the Stallings elan. = - The score by inings: WAR TAX HOLDS CONGRESS 0—7 0-1 May Not be Able to Adjourn Before October 20. Washington, Oct, 12.—Administra- tion leaders in congress are making every possible effort to wind up the long session by next Saturday night with assurances from the president that it wil be unnecessary to return until the first Monday in December. While no new legislation is to be per- mitted, there is no certainty, however, that ection on the war revenue bill can be completed within the week. When it has passed the senate a con- ference will be necessary and the prospect is that it will be October 20 before congress can adjourn. “We wil expedite the bill in the sen- ate as rapidly as possible,” said Sen- ator Simmons, chairman of the {i- nance committee. “Democrats are not disposed to change the measure as.it came from the caucus.

St. Louis, Oct. 12.—Two explosions, Amendments Number 14 and 15.| Jefferson City, Oct. 10th.—The last of the series of arguments on the measures to be submitted to vote at the coming election was today issued by Secretary of State Cornelius Roach. Those wishing to vote in- telligently on Propositions Nos. four- teen.and fifteen should preserve’ this article. The sole purpose in giving these argumentg is to furnish infor- mation to the voter, and the Secre- tary of State is in no way responsible for assertions made on either side of any subject discussed. The champions of Proposition No. 14 give the following reasons why the measure should. be adopted: Proposition No.. 14 should be adopt- ed because it will place in the hands/ of the State Legislature the means of adequately dealing with the question of good roads. _ This proposition does not itself create a bond issue, but it gives the Legislature the power to good road purposes only, in any sum not exceeding $50,000;000. As is well known, the only way in which public improvements of any kind can be con- structed upon a large scale is by borrowing monéy through the scale of bonds. This proposition will give us good roads in Missouri, provided the State Legislature wants us to have them. It puts the question up to the General Assembly and gives that body the power to do the work. Should this proposition be adopted, there will be no excuse for bad roads in Missouri, because the people can elect a Legislature which will provide the means for a proper system of public system of public highways. At the present time the Legislature has no such power. Opposing Argument. , The Fourteenth Proposition should be defeated becanse this measure, as well as the Fifteenth, was not pro- posed in good faith. This is one of the measures generally believed to have been proposed for the purpose of defeating everything on the Con- stitutional Ballot in the hope of having certain propositions affecting certain interests go down to defeat. This proposed amendment to the Constitu- tion would give the General Assembly power. to authorize the issuance of bonds to the amount of $50,000,000 for constructing and maintaining pub- lic roads. No such amount is neces- sary. Proposed Amendment No. 3 and proposed Amendment No. 6, for the benefit of good roads, give ample power and all are sufficient to pro- duce revenues that will improve the the roads as fast as the people wish to spend money for that purpose. This proposition should be voted down because it is entirely unneces- sary, because the measure proposes excessive extravagance, and because it is one of the measures for which fancy prices were paid to secure the signatures to the initiative petitions circulated in connection therewith, and has for its object an ulterior and sinister purpose. A The champions of Proposition’ No. 15 give the following reasons for its adoption: = -Proposition No. 15 removes the limitation upon the tax levyingauthor- ities for good roads purposes only. This proposed amendment permits every county to solve its own road problem for itself and gives the county court the power to levy any tax necessary for a contemplated im- provement on petition of 51 per cent of the voters: It also gives a county or political subdivision of the State the power to build or maintain a road or bridge outside its own boundaries, The State Board of Equalization is given for local improvements. The adoption of this amendment would practically remove the question-of good roads from the State Legislature becauise the existing authorities would then have every power needed to tax or bond their own districts . sufficient to pay for any desired improvement, upon a petition of 51 percent. It may be assumed, of course, that 51 per cent of the voters would never petition for an improvement not actually needed and, therefore, this amendment places the power where it properly belongs—in the hands of Proposition No. 15 should be voted down because there is-no necessity for such legislation. This measure is the mate to Proposition No. 14. It ‘was initiated by the same promoters for a selfish and sinister purpose and. in the hope of carrying everything Yes—in these arctics they’re snug—cozy—comfortable. yeaa one-buckle ‘Illinois’? for light snow ‘and wet.
