the Allies armies of France and

reached a decisive result.
The German right in the face
of superior forces and threatened

Paris, Sept. 11 4:40p. m.
The French military authorities
who heretoforthave confined the
information made public ooucern
mg the military operations East
of Paris to laconic statements
very general in character, today
gave a lengthy dfsoription of the
meet important battle since the
begining of hostilities.
Evidently the left wing of the
Allied armies facing the north
east has borne the brant of the
preliminary engagements in which
the British took such a prominent
part so well that they are the
object of highest compliments on
the part of French military men.
The combat aosordiug to official
announcement, seems to be de
veloped into an abandonment of
at least the advance positions
held by the Germans wh?, it is
announced, are retiring along a
a greater part of the line. This
retirement is said to have been
for 46 miles at some points.
Furious onslaughts, somtim?s
by the French and again by the
German, occurred about the cen
ter of an extensive line in the
Tioinity of Virty-Le-Francois.
Three great liermau armies

Sermans in Swift Reheat.
Paris, Sept 12 11:34 p. m.
The following cffisial ommunica
tion was issued tonight by the
French war effice:
4 N .twhhstrudiug the fatigue
occasioned by five days of inces
sant fighting, our troops are vig
orously pursuing the enemy,
which is in general retreat.
"This retreat appears to have
been mere rapid than the advance.
This has been bo precipitate at
certain prints that our troops
hav gathered up at the general
quarters, notably Montmirail
charts, documents, ai d persona
papers abnadoned by trie enemy,
and also packages or letters
whioh had beeu 'received or were
ready to be forwarded.
"In the district of Fromnteres
th enemy abandoned several bat
teries of mortars and a number of
caissons of ammunition."
Lit d n, Sept. 12 p. m The
Germon urmi-s which a wek ago
today commenced a series of vio
lent attempts .to break through
the French center have found
their efforts futile, and, ev&cuat
mg Virty-Le- Francois, the pivot
ol their offensive and where they
had fortified already strong natur
al positions, they have retired
northward.
This retirement was made im
perative by the continued retreat
of the German right wing, which
is somewhere northwest of Rheims,
and the defeat of an army corps,
which was operating just east of
Virty Le Francois, around Revig
ny and Sermaiz v and which, in
its buiry to join the retirement,
left a quantity of war material
behind for the French to pick up.
The Germans in the Aronue
district likewise have began to
fail hack, so that the pressure on
the forts acuthwest of Verdun,
which a Berlin, report said the
Germans had commenoed to bom
bard, should be relieved.
French Win in Ltrraine.
In Lorraine, too, the French
claim to have won farther sue
cessses to have been enabled to
straighten out their line along
that frontier. They have occupi
ed territory east of the forest of
4Cbampenonr, Gerbeviller, Resain-
viiler, and Saint Die, thus getting
in ckser touch with their tro.jps,
which, since the early days of the
war. have held a bit cf German
territory in froct of Colmar.
Apparently the Germans, who
i(-ut, the btsfc of their army farth
er west to take in the advance on
Pans, have found the mountains
of McBeile and Vosges, where the
French were in strong possessions,
too hard a nlit to crack.
Belgians Rettke Town.
The Belgian army has become
ac.ive again, and according to cf
filial reports tonight, is advanc
ing, from the forts around Ant
w rp. It apparently has divided
into sections and has reoccupied
both Aerschot and Malines, where
there have been so many' engage
ments the past few weeks, and hc
-ven got so far southeast as the
battlefields of August and coming
down on both sides of what re
mains of Loavain, has cut com
ma icationi between that town
and Brussels ou the west, and be
tween Louvain and Tirlemont on
the southeast. Another army is
harra9sing German forces advanc
?r.g southward to France.
While the Belgians have only
about 80,000 troops it is a mobile
fcrce and can cause trouble to the
wegkeued German army of occu
pation in Belgium.
Russians Battle Fiercely.
The Russians continue to strike
at the Austrian left in Gahoia.
and, according to Petrograd re
ports, they have sucoeded in
smashing it. The object iu con
centrating the attack on this wing
of the Austrian army is obvious,
for the Russians have desired
more than anything else at the
present time to pat the Austrian
navy entirely out of the fight be
fore more German reinforcements
cjuld come to its aid.
Actiiity in Southern Seas.
Australian and New Zeland
seemingly have designs on all Ger
man Islands in the South Pacific
After the occupation of Gtrman
Samoa by a New Z)land force, the
Australian navy occupied Her
bertshoebe, German headquarters
in New Britain.
Tha Australians have a useful
squadron headed by the dread-
naught Australia, and probably
will be heard more in the Pacific.
The Archipelago they now occupy
.has a population of 200,000 and
was asigued to the German sphere
of influence by an agreement with
Great Britain in 1885.
Provisions and Guns Taken.

fifteen guns were captured on the

is reported to be continuing his
retirement rapidly over the Aisne,

While the German right wing
thai has been driven back and
thrown into disorder, the French

Haw Tubercular Patients it the State San
atorium 6iin Oier 100 Pornds i Week.
From 100 to 120 pounds of avoir-
aupois in a wee isn't bad gain
ing for sick folks. ?s it? That is
just what, from 80 to 90 tubercu
losis patients are gaining at the
State Sanatorium - every week
What's more, they are doing that
during hot weather.
Consumption is a waiting dis
ease. As long as the disease is
progressing, the victim loses flesh.
When the patient begins to im
prove, one of the first symptoms
is a gain in weight. A gam in
weight means that not only is the
course of the disease cheoked and
this wasting away or "oonsamp
tion" halted, but that the ' tide of
the battle is completely reversed,
that tubercle . bacilli are on the
ran and that the physioal condi
tion of the body is being rapidly
improved.
Every Saturday morning each
patient at the Sanatorium is
weighed. They scon learn the
meaning of a gain in weight, and
a gain of a pound or two over the
previous week is musio in the pa
tient's ears. Some of the patients
at the sanatorium, . of oonrse,
gain faster thaa others. Some
gain as much as four or five
pounds a week. Others barely
hold their own, and a few in the
last stages may gain a little ope
week and lose a little next week,
and so. it goes . The total gain of
all the patients amounts to from
100 to 120 pounds a week, or about
three tons a year.
The great surprise to many peo
ple who visit the Sanatorium for
the first time is the general heal
thy looking condition of the pa
tients. Ordinarily, we expect tu
bercular people to be thin, poor
and emaoiated, bat, as a layman
expressed himself a few days ago
the patients he saw at the sana
torium were a ''healthier looking
bunch than the general ran of
people over here on the, streets of
A." Nor or they deceiving
their looks. They are getting well

The sixth week of the war be:
tween Germany and Franoe, Great
Britain and Belgium, has brought
a vast transformation. The par
sued are now the pursuers. The
irresistable sweep of seven Ger
man armies through Belgium into

The army of General Von
Kluok, whioh so long battled to
torn the allies western flank, was
slowly, and steadily outflanked.
Its retirement before the small
but hardy British army turned
the tide of battle.

Last Sunday was the darkest
day of the war for the allies. The
Frenoh government emigrated
from Paris to Bordeaux in a long
sad procession of motor oars. An
attack o nthe capital appeared im
minent and the main German
force had hammered a huge wedge
into France between Paris and
Verdun, with its center some miles
oath of that line. ; V
The Frenob people -trembled
with the question, whether their
army was not a beaten army ;
wheoher the history of 1870 woald
repeat itself. e .

The military experts, howeverr
are still oautioos. While reoog
niaing the possibility that the
German armies may. yet rally and
draw a. strong defense line, they
reoognize also the possibility . of
the almost complete evacuation of
Franoe and Belgium. Paris an-
uonnoes that ; the Germans have
evacuated Amiens. The position
of German-reinforcements of 69.
000 reported to be marching south
on three roads in tbtt neighbor
hood is not known.
The Belgian army is credited
with the determination to reoocu
py Brussels and olaim to have oat
the railroad between Liege and
Brussels, thus severing an impor
tant German line of communica
tion. It claims to be pushing the
soattered German forces, compos
ed for the most part of reservists,
toward the southeast.
Military authorities in France
consider the position of the Ger
man armies critical. The army
which was south of the Argonne
Forest, they argue, hardly oan re
treat eastward, owing to the dan
ger from the - strong Frenoh for
tress of. Verdun, while the moan
tanoas character of the Argonne
district renders retreat due north
impracticable. The left wing of
the Germans, they believe mast
retreat in a northwestarnly direc
tion.
The people oherish the hope
that the Belgians may suooeed in
clearing the Germans oat of Bra

army would be obliged to retreat
on Luxemberg , an operation

Austrian and German armies are

totaling more than a million

German divisions. The Russians
describe their line as extending

A Specimen of the Holy Catholic Religion.
Similar Conduct Likely Anywhere.
From tie Menace.
Garter H. BarrUon, Roman
mayor of the city of Chicago, has
given as an example of what we
may'epeot if Rome succeeds, in
her purpose to make America
Catholic, and if the offices of the
nation are ever filled with men of
his type.
J3e has decided that the Roman
Catholic ohuroh in Chicago may
Igamble, in violation of law, and
that the police thall not attempt
to enforce the anti-gambling laws
of Chicago against the ohnrches,
but that they mast be enforced
against gambling houses other
than Catholic.
We glean this information from
the following startling artiole
taken from the Chicago Daily
Tribnne of August 4th :
Round and round it goes.
Where it stops nobody knows, etc
Ballyhoo Ballad.
Mayor Harrison announoed yes
terday that the churohes of
Chicago could ran such gambling
games as they choose.
The mayor put his announce-,
ment in suoh terms that his lift
of the embargo in behalf of ba
zaars may be interpeted as a
victory for the appealing church
officers with a larg interrogation
point.
Chief of Police GleaBon stopped
the operation of paddie games and
wheels of chance' at amusement
parks . When he was asked about
the possible extension of the order
to ohuroh bazaars he answered
that it applied to them as well.
Mayor Harrison supported the
ohit-f in this assertion.
Bat yesterday the mayor made
a statement
"At first," he said," I made no
distinction between the paddle
wheels at parks and those at
ohuroh socials and bazaars, but
sinoe so many inquiries and pro
tests have come to me I have He
oided to leave the question of
morals and ethics to the church
people .
"If ohurohes want to ran these
'vicious gambling games it ia-up
to them. I have notified Chief
Gleason that it will be improper
for him to issue permits to
churohes so they may operate
their games of chance, but be may
ignore their violations. '
The chief of police has been
notified, iyi the mayor, that he
shcflld not issue regular gambling
permits to the ohurohes, but if
they wish to gamble, whioh they
do, they are not to be interfered
with by tre police department.
We presume that the same
ruling will apply in the case of
the churohes whioh wish to sell
I quor. They will probably not be
given license nxe tne orainary
saloon, for a ohuroh saloon is an
extraordinary saloon bat they can
ran without being molested by
the police department. Is it
right, Mr. Harrison?

An Editor Assaulted.
B. W. Banker, secretary of the
National Protestant League and
managing editor of the National
Protestant, with offices in -the
Davidson building, at Sioux City,

bag in the toilet room on the
fourth floor of said building on
August 18th, and is reported to

Mr. Bunker believes that the

it is presumed that he is some
enraged fanatic who belongs to
the 'boly Roman church and
probably the knights of Mob and

To the credit of the state high
school board of Minnesota, be it
noted that they have refused to
violate the constitution of that
state at the behest of Archbishop
Ireland. When his nibs insisted
upon their violating the state
constitution by allowing the so
callsd sisters to wear their papal
uniforms while teaohing in the
schools, the board stood by the
state Jaw and adopted a rale more
explicit than ever . Now, if they
will discharge every enemy of
publio eduoation from service in
the publio schools of Minnesota,
their good work will be complete.
If the paptists are given a share
of the school fund, as they de
mand, the Jews, Infidels, Ration
alists, Buddhists, Mormons and
every sect conceivable can con
sistently demand the same thing.
The result would be such a .divi
sion of school funds as to destroy
the publio school; and that is
what the papes are working for.

harrasied by artillery fire during
their retreat was obtained on a
visit to the fields near Meaux, the
scene of a severe fight yesterday.
The German infantry had taken
a position in a sunken road on
either side of whioh were stretch
ed, in extended lines, hummocks,
some oi tneni natural and some
the work of German soldiers.
Besides many bodies were 40
or 50 empty cartridge shells while
fragments of clothing, caps and
knapsacks were "scattered, about.
This destruction was wrought by
batteries three miles distant.
Straggling dumps of wood inter
vened between the range had been
determined by an officer on an
elevation a mile from the gunners
He telepnohed directions for the
firing and through glasses watched
the bursting shells.
The sunken road was littered
with bodies today, sprawling in
ghastly fashion, the faces almost
had the same greenish gray hue
as the uniforms worn. The road
is lined with poplars, the branch
es of which were severed by frag
ments of shells and strewn among
the dead. In places whole tops
of trees had been torn away by
the artillery fire.
Senia Is Enthusiastic.

Rome from Nish, Ser via:
"The taking of Semlin has
caused great enthusiasm through

that their army after seven weeks
of war, not only has prevented a
powerful enemy capturing Bel
grade, but has inflicted humilia
tion on them by forcing them to
evacuate their base of operations
against Servia.
"The victory has had a wonder
ful moral effect on the army and
people."
