FOG CLEARS AWAY AND
THE INVADERS READY
Of First Importance to Win
Over Anglo-French Forces in
Belgium, to Be Free to Turn
Attention to Russia.
London, 10 a. m.—Dispatches
reaching London from Belgium
and Holland continue to insist
that the Germans are withdraw
ing' many of their troops from
their western battle front but '.he
official communications from the
official headquarters of the allies
do not indicate any lessening of
(he force of the German attack,
which is proceeding with its usual
fury.
British Stop Enemy.
Paris, 2:50 p. m.—The French of
ficial statement this afternoon says
that the fighting was resumed yeste'-
day morning with very great severity
between Nieuport and the L,ys. The
French forces were successful in main
taining the front.
The British troops attacked also at
several points succeeded everywhere in
stopping the enemy.
“Good Advances.”
Berlin, (via wireless).—The signffl
cance of the latest official reports con
o-rfcing the situation in the western
arena of hostilities is increased fav
orably. in the opinion of German crit
ics by the fact that the words “good
advances” are used in referring to the
conflict in the Argonnes. This is. the
first time such-art expreasiorriiafl
employed in describing the
this district.
/ Must Reach Channel.
Paris, 7 a. m.—lt is becoming more
and more evident to French observ
ers that Germany now js. majting a
maximum effort in Belgium to carry
out her determination to penetrate the
battle line of the allies wjth a front'll
attack and reach either Dunkirk or
Calais, on the English channel. *
‘Very Violent Fighting.” • •
Tliis attack seems to be taking place
south of Dixmude. What is described
in an official bulletin as “very vio
lent fighting” in the north continued
this morning. The foggy weather of
the last few days apparently has
cleared and the Germans are pushing
the attack.
Nevertheless Paris seems well satis
fied with the situation of the allies
and the optimism of the past two
weeks continues unabated.
Too Far Apart.
The German position, however, is
being given considerable close study.
French military critics from the
standpoint of strategy regard the Ger
man position between two adversaries
too far from each other for united
efforts in the same operation a's a fa
vorable one for. the reason that it per
mits the use of what is called "in
ternal lines."
Of First Importance.
It is therefore of the first, impor
tance for the Germans to heat the
allies in Belgium and free fod'Ja time
at least their line of operatioijjMn or
der that they may turn their atten
tion to the Russians. This line of

Reaches Alarming Propor
tions.
Chicago.—Spread of foot and month
disease among the 836 prize dairy cat
tle under quarantine at the Chicago
Union stock yards assumed such
alarming proportions today that it was
feared the infection could not be pre
vented from reaching every animal in
the herd. The cattle are valued at
$2,600,000.
Dr. S. E. Bennett of the federal bu
reau of animal industry said that 40
new cases were discovered among the
herd yesterday. The newly-infected
cows were separated from the isolated
herd and taken to the veterinary hos
pital, where 62 other cases from the
dairy show stock are under treatment.
Dr. Bennett said that consent would
no* be given to destroy the animals
until there is no hope of saving them.

damaged and that 87 horses were
either suffocated or burned alive. The
bodies of nearly all of these were
thrown overboard at sea yesterday.
Five died while the vessel was steam
ing from the Virginia Capes to this
city. The fire originated between

incendiary origin Is obtainable.

awaiting orders from the owners of
the ship. A cordon of guards has

ON 10OTH DAY OF WAR,
GERMAN ON DEFENSIVE
London, 1:38 p m.—The hundredth day of tha wsr which engages virtually
half of the world, both In reepeoi to 'and area and the population, finds the
Teutonic allies practically on the defensive, according to opinions expressed
today by etudente of the situation, a I least temporarily, In both the main
areas of hostilities.
This role Is perhaps more pronounced In the eastern field of operatlone
where the Oermans Have been thrown back well behind their frontier lines
at several point# In East Pruetla and In Poaen, than In the western field,
where, although the success of the past two weeka have enabled the forces of
Orest Britain, Prance and Belgium to Inaugurate a vigorous offensive, the
Germane are still disputing every foot of ground with bloody hand to hand
flgh Ing, which li proving more dead y than has any previous phase of thli
most sanguinary war.
It Is to be judged from the foregoing summary of the war situation
that London hod not, up to an early hour this afternoon, received from
I’arl* the French official announcement setting forth that the Germans
were In possession of XJlxmuUe. ...

OVERTURE, GERMANS
TO THE RUSSIANS
Report in Petrograd That Berlin Has Made Approaches Look
ing Towards Cessation of Hostilities—Successes of Czar’s
Troops Recorded Along Whole Long Battle Line
London, 10 a. m.—Coincident with the
news that every Get man soldier has
been swept from Russian soil comes a.
whisper of peace negotiations in the re
poVt from Petrograd that Merlin lias ap
proached Russia with overtures looking
toward a cessation of hostilities.
Contrary to the German report that
the Russians hud been cneeked on the
frontier of East Prussia. Petrograd de
clares that a brilliant success in that
region has been succeeded by ah actual
invasion of German territory. An equal
triumph In reported from the other end
of the long Russian battle line.
Near Cracow.
With Cossacks raiding within 20 miles
of Cracow, the commandant of that fort
ress has ordered the civilian population
of the city to leave. Przemsyl is said
to be fully Invested again and the re
duction of this fortress Is likely to pre
cede any further advances by the Rus
sian left wing
Should Have Followed.
Petrograd Is not wholly satisfied with
the scope of the victories reported
against the Germans,- for the belief
prevails In military circles that If the
Russian strategy of the Napoleonic era
had been followed further, even to the
ex lent of the surrender of Warsaw the
invaders never would have remained in
their own country with Intact fighting

ment In Its determination to defend

Infantry Used.
Contrary to practice, infantry and not
artillery has been the dominant force
used by the Russians along their west
ern battle front in pushing the invaders
back across the border. Showing dis
regard of the German batteries, superior
forces of the Russian infantry time af
ter time have advanced and won posi
tions by the use of steel. FYom Moscow
comes a report that during the fighting
near Aerodz on the River Warthe the
Russians captured General Von Ma

army corps, together with members of
his staff.
Lodz Commander.
It Is reported also that General von

when the Germans occupied that city,
also has been captured by the Russians.
There are reports that the Austrian
army is abandoning entirely Its posi
tions in western Galicia and will winter
at the foot of the CaVpathians, renew
