pause in the Gorman attacks on the left

that heavy reinforcements are 011 their
nay and that when the German lines
are strengthened by these forces, sai<l
to aggregate more than 200,000 men,
■fighting will go 011 with renewed fierce
ness. The reinforcement, it is de
clared. have been drawn from all the
other battle lines, both in the east and
west, in pursuance of the order of Km
peror William that the French ports
must be taken at all costs.
Reports say that the next German
onslaught will be undertaken further
away from the coast in order to avoid
the devastating fire of the British and
French warships which have, thus far
taken a prominent |>art in the biittle of
Flanders.
While operations in Flanders have
been at a standstill the allies on the
center an<! in the south have, according
to the official communications, not only

old friend. He asked if lie could join
my party as my chauffeur and 1 con

turned the military salute of a sentry
who held us up.

Carlsbad we were arrested thirty-two

CZAR'S ARMY OF 8,000,000
BEGINS TO SHOW INFLUENCE
London, Oct. 29. 3..",7 A. M.—The
Pofcrograd correspondent of the "-Daily
Mail ' sends the following regarding
the lighting in Russia:
' • The Germans .are astounded and
disheartened to always find themselves
pitted against fresh troops full of en
ergy. The secret of tihis lies in the
Russian plan of keeping an immense
reserve for every army, changing regi
ments frequently and never leaving
the same men on the firing line long
enough to become stale.
"In this way the vastness of the
Russian Kmperor's army of 8,000,000
men is beginning to show a marked in
fluence on the campaign."

mous sacrifices and the devoted courage
of the Belgians, says:
"Over 10,000 have been killed or
wounded, which is a quarter of their
whole force operating in the coast bat
tle. They have been defending a slip
of territory from Dixtnude to Xieuport.
a region hardly bigger than a big Ger
man farm.
"Nearly all of their injured have
been wounded in the back, but never
were wounds more honorable, as the
bullets and shrapnel hit them as they
lay prone under the hail of the steel
volcano. There fate is the tragedy of
this war." i
FALLIERES SEES LONG WAR:
PREDICTS ALLIES' VICTORY
Paris, Oct. 29.—That the war i 9
only beginning is the opinion expressed
by Armand Fallieres, ex-President of
France, in an interview published by
the newspaper "France de Bordeaux,"
says a dispatch to the Havas News
Agency from the French temporary seat
of Government.
"Months an.l months,'' M. Fallieres
says, "will be required to overcome
the military power of the Germans, but
this doe s not produce discouragement
in France. Our country has acquire!
the new virture of constancy and ef
fort.
"We shall certainly be victorious,
for without reckoning our ardent pa
triotism and our inexhaustible moral
and material resources, we have on our
side Russia and Great Britain, with
their strength and tenacity, and Bel
gium, as well as Servia; and, finally,
we possess the moral support of entire
humanity which loves the ideal of lib
erty.
"We are fighting for our land, our
homes, our wives and our children, but
the admirable Belgians are struggling
for their honor and for the respect of
their plighted word. What an example
for the world, in front of a savage Ger
many and Emperor intoxicated with
pride!
"The right will not fall and Prance
will not perish. Should we sacrifice our
last man, aud should we be compelled
tn call out our last reserves, I am ready
to go. There is only one motto —abso-
lute confidence."

amount of rye used for distilling spir- |
its to sixty pc- cent, of the normal con
sumption. 'Phe hoarding of grain for j
speculative purposes is prohibited anil !

proportion a<l difference for other cities.
The price of wheat remains forty marks j
higher t'han rye.

$40,225,000 DAILY COST
OF EUROPE'S IMTIC WAR
Correspondence of tlie Associated Press. !
Paris, Oct. 29.—The war bill which j
Kurope is meeting daily is now figured
up as follows:
Russia $ 14,000,000 !
Germany 7,225,000!
France ' 7,000,000 j
England 5,000,000 j
Austria 4,000,000
Various 3,000,000 j
$4U.22 j.OOO
The French appropriation is from 1
official figures as announced by M. Hi- j
bot. Minister of Finance; the English
estimate by the London "Statist;" the;
German from "an authritative sourse"i
in a Geneva paper, and the other sums;
from various conservative estimates':
which have appeared in one place or
another. The item "various," repre
sents the probable expense to *vhich |
Servia, Belgium and the neutral coun-!
tries of Switzerland, Italy, Rumania, j
Turkey, Greece, Holland and Denmark |
have been put.

calculable losses to Europe of 20,000,1
000 men under arms being taken from j
production. Therp are no indications in j
France that exhaustion has set in, but
it is evident that the accumulated j
treasure of even the richest country ■

a rate that adds $200,000,000 a i
mouth to the national debt.
