The end of the great battle of the
Alsne, which began on September 12
and has been raging for 25 days, Is not
yot at hand. In spito of tho constant
fighting' and shifting of activities, the
main lines of both armies still aro In
tact, and tho doughty commander of
tho German right, General von Kluk,
eeoms determined to follow tho Instruc
tions of tho Kaiser "to win or die try
ing." Tho Invaders evidently aro expecting
big" things from their cavalry, which
Is now being projected Into this engage
ment for tho first time. During- the
lonff period of inactivity which has
prevailed since tho Germans made their
present stand, there has been time for
reorganization of tho mounted section
of tho German army. Tho men havo
been rested and equipped with new
arms, and mounts havo been secured to
replace tho groat numbers of horses
killed on tho German march toward
Paris and In tho battlo of tho Marne.
Tho Gorman army In Franco, espe
cially tho centre and tho right wing,
has had Uttlo uso for cavalry since tho

BERLIN, Oct. 7.
An official statement Issued at mid
night admits French troops have gained
somo BTound on the River Meuse, but
declares, on the German right wing, tho
army of General von Boehn success
fully has flanked the Allies and forced
them to rush reinforcements to tho
front to avert a retreat. Th statement
says:
For strategic reasons we have
fallen back at points on the Meuse
and these have been occupied by the
French, but tho situation thero as
regards tho final outcomo Is un
changed. On tho western end of tho battlo
lino, General von Boehn's army Is
successfully executing a counter
flanking movement that has forcod
the French and British to rush rein
forcements to tho front. Severe
fighting Is going on there and our
attack In strength Is threatening to

A dispatch from Troyes says that a
German airship was brought down
yesterday whllo flying over Itomllly-sur-Selne,
a town 20 miles northwest
of Troyes. This Is tho sixth German
dirigible captured or destroyed by tho
Allies. The air craft flying over
Homllly-sttr-Setno was evidently scout
ing when tho French guns ended Its
career.
(It Is difficult to account for the
presence of a German ntrshlp In the
vicinity of Troyes. That city Is about
90 miles northeast of 1'nrls and ap
proximately 70 miles south of Rhelms
There aro no German troops In that
vicinity.)
In the centre thero has been a lull.
Although the German army of General
von Buelow has been weakened to
strengthen tho right flank, tho position
of tho Invaders In that region Is too
strong to permit of a general assault
by tho French.
Tho British are fighting gallantly
against tho Germans north of Solssons,
and It has been mainly through their
courage and fighting nblltty that tho
Germans lost good positions.
Heavy numbers of British wounded
havo been brought to Paris since Sun
day, for tho English soldiers were ex
posed to a deadly rlflo and machine-gun
fire when they moved forward to storm
tho Gorman redoubts. Within tho past
24 hours two English generals wero
brought from tho front grievously
wounded.
It Is reported that the Government
Is to be moved back to Paris from
Bordeaux, but no definite date Is set
for this event.
BIG GAIN

not been in doubt since our slego
guns were brought to bear on tho
fortifications.
The mention of General von Boehn
in this statement Is the first that has
been made in reference to him slnco the
official announcement that he had been
sent with a new army to reinforce tho
German right wing In France. It Is be
lieved that his troops have been held
Inactive In southern Belgium and that
they are fresh for a terrific attack on
the Allies.
An earlier report from the General
Staff was:
"Continuous French outflanking
movements against our right wing have
extended tho battle front until It Is now
north of Arras, west of LIIIo and vcst
of Lens. Our advance guards are In
contact with tho enemy's cavalry.
"No decision has yet been reached in
our counter-attacks along tho line be
tween Arras, Albert and Itoye."
gains evidently are within range of the
city proper, and It Is admitted uni
versally that there nro no fortifications
strong enough to resist theso mighty
cannon
Although tho Busslan General Staff
hits been ceaseless in Its claims of vic
tories over the Germans, and Austrian
and German strategy in this theatre of
wnr haa been warmly criticised, the
view of Impartial observers Is that
German strategy In the eastern theatre
of war Is equal If not superior to Rus
sian strategy. Man to man, the Ger
man soldiers seem to be better fighters
than tho Russians.
This Is tho sixty-fourth day of war In
Europe nnd the end is not yet In sight.
In fact, to sum It all up, it seems that
the warring nations nro Just beginning
to fight in earnest. In tho western
theatre of hostilities the Germans so
far have had tho advantage In Bel
glum and have been moro than hold
ing their own In France; In tho eastern
theatre the Russians have been suc
cessful Bgalnst Austria, hut tho con
flict between the Germans and IUis.

a draw; In the southern theatre the
Servians have won some battlos, but
the situation there Is not such as to

DEEDS OF DARING, ROMANCE
AND COMEDY OF THE WAR
A story Is told of several French pris
oners tnken at Maubcuge. On arrival nt
Brussels the Bavarian guards In charge
of them chatted merrily with tho pris
oners. The Inhabitants of the city, pluck
ing up courage, approached.
While the bucks of tho guards worn
turned, one civilian brought a suit of
clothes Into which the French soldier
hastily changed. Ho clambered out of
the car door, stood among the civilians
for a fow minutes and then quietly moved
off.
Thl success stirred others to emulate
tho example. Several civilians stolo off
to tho nearest houses, begged clothes,
smuggled them Into tho train nnd In this
way a little batch of prisoners escaped
under tho very noses of their captors.
Complaints voiced In the letters of Brit
ish soldiers that they arc "run shy" of
tobacco under tho system of allowances
fixed by the military establishment hnvo
met with a ready resnonso In London. A
newspaper has established a fund to buy
tho tobacco and subscriptions aro pouring
In. Ono million clgnrettcs alrendy hnvo
been purchased with this fund and sent
to tho front
Attention has been called in Great
Britain to a bit of galling red tape.
Soldiers at the front havo no money with
which to buy postage stamps. Their let
ters aio sent with tho postage collect.
It Is argued by many soldiers that the
letters should bo carried frco of charge,
as many of the mothers, who receive let
tela with postngo collect, cannot afford
It. Tho rostolTIco Department officials
say they cannot tnko oft tho charge, al
though they have reduced It.
The courage of tho members of the
Royal Field Artillery, better known as
the Held gunners, was never bettor shown
than a few days ago, according to one
of tho 20th Hussars.
A hulf battery In rather exposed posi
tion was galling the Germans by the ac
curacy of Its aim. Finally the Germans
concentrated several of their batteries on
It. The result could only be 0110 thing,
as it was a David against a hnlf dozen
Gollnths. Finally nil the guns were
silenced but one. Tho men who hnd been
manning them wero lying dead and
wounded around tho ground.
One man wns left. Ho went about his
work with a doggedness that bespoke de
termination to stick there to tho end.
And the end would havo como soon, as
the Germans, who had stopped firing for
a minute, wero about to recommence to
silence tiio lone gun. But an officer In
terfered, calling tho lono gunner away.
And ho came away regietfully.

Semi-official reports received by the
Japanese Government stato that tho Ger

gunboats have been sunk In ICIao-Chau
Bay by the bombardment of Japnneso
and British warships.
It Is stntcd at tho admiralty that
"tho fire of these three ships has been

to bu the litis and Jaguar.
Tho cruiser Cormoran was built In
1592 and carried eight four-Inch guns,
five one-pounders, two machine guns,
two 11-Inch torpedo tubes and a com
plement of 160 men. She was 230 feet
long, 32 feet In tho beam and her ton

The litis and Jaguar wore both of the
same class of small gunboats. Each
curried a complement of 123 men and
their armaments consisted of four three
inch guns (16 pounders), six one-Inch
pounders and two machine guns. Both
uero built In 1S0S. Their length was 203
feet, beam 29 feet and displacement S6

ITALY CURBS BELLICOSE
NEWSPAPER OF ROME
Austrian Protests Bring Speedy Ac
tionEditors Cited.
ROME, Oct 7.
In response to protests mado by tho
Austrian Ambassador against Inflamma
tory articles appearing in the Italian
press, on the ground that thoy wero en
dangering tho lives nnd property of Aus
trian citizens In this country, the Gov
ernment has notified the most bellicose
p"bllcatIons thnt they must curb their ut
terances or suspend publication.
Government agents havo also been In
structed to unng certain editors befor
tne courts.
The unit record desk, shown
above, is a concrete example
of the Library Bureau Idea.
The first desk of this kind was
made for a bond house. Their
problem was to put several thou
sand cards in shape to be handled
by one clerk.
The obvious thing was to sell
them a flat-top desk and four or
five card cabinets.
That is the very thing we did
not do.
We devised the unit record desk
a combination of a card file and
a desk. We improved it and
altered it so that it can be used as
a ledger desk as well as for hous
ing customers lists, credit infor
mation, sales records, price
quotations, etc.
Then we standardized it and now
carry it regularly in stock.
You see, don't you, what the
