Russians In and around Warsaw are being temporarily protected from fresh German artillery aggression by reason of the Impassable con dition of the country through recent rains and owing to the destruction of the only railroad from Lowlcz to Warsaw.

Here Come the Orders Here are some facts which tell a story, not of glittering prospects of prosperity hut of Actual, Arrived, On-the-Spot, Down-to-Brass-Tacks, Stren uous, Real, NEW Business; Business which is mak ing the wheels of industry turn which will Impress the idler from the curb and the unfortunate from the bread line. Consider: The French Government has just placed an order with one Pittsburg steel firm for 5,000 tons of Bayonet and Sabre Steel. Several thousand tons of armor plate for mo tor cars and other vehicles is wanted by the Eng lish and French Governments. From Chicago comes the news that army wag ons, blankets by the millions, additional thousands of saddles and bridles, millions of cartridges are wanted for the English and French armies. Orders from Russia for supplies of all sorts are being rushed to the United States and goods im ported from this country will have preferential treatment with special, low import duties. Numbers of factories turning out textiles and other necessities are running with three eight-hour shifts, 24 hours of the day, in order to make deliv eries in time. These facts mean of course that the Neutral United States is actively participating in the war. The industrial army of America is complying with mandate of nature that vacuums must be filled, demands for food, clothing, all the necessities of civilized mankind must be met. Not only is the American Manufacturer repair ing and replacing the values destroyed in the im mediate territory devastated by war but he is also busily engaged in taking the place left vacant in the trade of those nations which depended for their supplies upon people now busily fighting for independent existence. $6.00 PER YEAR—FIVE CENTS PER COPY.

THINK CUMAXOF BATTLE IN FRANCE IS NOT FAR OFF London, 1:50 p. m*—-OliHcrver# here think that the climax In the battle In northern France cannot be far off and the London papers today are quoting approvingly, though not In the sense intended, the words attributed to Em peror William who In addressing his troops somewhere In France, on Octoi tier 3rd, Is reported to have said: “Before tho leaves fall from the trees here, we shall all be back In the dear fatherland." The probability that the emperor never expressed tills opinion does not detract from its value in the British I construction. PRESIDENT ANEW NOTHING OF IT , Washington.—Prealdent Wilson wild | today Chairman Stone of the foreign i relation# eommltt.ee. ha/l not conault ed him before making bln apeech la#t week, advlalng foreign natlona to carefully regard the neutrality of the j United St a tea and declined to further jdlMcuaa the queatlon.

HOME EDITION Situation Declared More Fav orable Than at Any Time Since Invaders Advance on Paris Checked in Meagre and Delayed News. GERMAN PROGRESS TO FRENCH COAST TOWNS TEMPORARILY BLOCKED Further South, Belgian Rein forcements Reported. Ger man Evacuation of Ostend Thought Due to This Menace. King Albert in Field. Anti German Rioting in London Continues. London.. 10:30 a. m. From tho point of view of tho allied armies so lnr lie could bo learned from dla patrhoH reaching London today tho situation in West Flanders and in Franco ns far .south as Lille seemed today, the seventy-seventh day of the war, perhaps more hopeful than at any time since the German advance on Farts was checked. By All Indication!. Though the news reaching England Is meagre and to an ertent delayed, 111 tidings seem to Indicate that the German advance from Ostend on tho French coast towns has been blocked temporarily while farther south In a region that was a week ago the ex treme German right, the iuvudern again have been compelled to give ground before the allies’ wedge force, which has been concentrating on Lille. Several reports contend that tho Germans have withdrawn from this town, but Is not confirmed, nor Is the report that they evacuated Courtrla. thirty mlloe northwest. It seemH plain that the menace here grew marked and that the German army operating along the coast of Flanders found it self In peril of being cut off from the main body. What opposition they met along the sea Is only guess work. Reports Agree. All reports seem to agree that Os tend practically Is clear of Germans, who aparently are reforming to tho south with • enforcements, and that they now propose to hammer on to ward Dunkirk and Calais. One report says they are beyond Fumes, less than ten miles from Dunkirk. Further south In Bronco reinforce ments from Brussels are said to have brought up before Lille which the Germans are reported as bombarding. The Belgians themselves, according lo last night’s Baris official communi cation, have held the Germans In an attempt to cross tho River Tser, southwest of Dtxmude, Belgium. This was the first heard of the Belgian forces since the evacuation of Ant werp. King Albert. King Albert, unheard of for some time, is said to have cheered tho men In the field. Some of the London papers de scribe the German evacuation of Oa tend as a retirement to the east on the theory that the allies’ progress to the south threatened to Isolate the Os tend garrison, making a retreat Im perative. The dispatches arq far from unanimous on the direction of the re tirement. Naval Craft. From various sources came reports, none of which was confirmed that some sort of navsl craft are being pressed into use by the allies In the canals of Flanders and perhaps from the sea. Sunday a dispatch direct from Dunkirk said heavy firing could be heard there and It was believed gunboats were being used In the canals. Though there was a sporadic recur rence of the anti-German rioting In parts of London early today, police protection In such places has been In creased and no serious outbreaks were reported this forenoon In the city. CONFIDENCE OF ■ GERMANS SHOWN Berlin, IBy wirsleas to Bayville, L. I.)—“Great Britain’s cry fur help to Portugal,” the “Chaotic situation In South Africa," and the revolts In In dia, according to announcement made In Berlin today, all are tending to raise German confidence. Reports re. reived here from Constantinople <le (hire that Great Brttnln has sent three active battalions from Malta to India. MONBIGNOR BENSON DEAD. London, 1:10 p. m. - The death of the Very Itev.
