GERMAN TROOPS LANDED IN GULF GERMAN LOSSESilEL Hy the Associated Press. .London, Oct. 13 The Germans have landed troops on the islands os Oesel and Dago in the Gulf of Riga, according to a Petrograd dis patch. Oesel and Dago islands are at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga and provide easy access to the mainland over small intermediate islands. They are off the Russian province of Oes tigna. Dago is about 200 miles from Petrograd. Its position de rives aditional importance from the fact that it is almost at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland. Ml PICTURE SHOW T H! KM "VVWst Hickory, Oct 13. A perma nent moving picture show was start ed in the new Y. M. C. A. hall here Friday night. Mr. W. A. Pool is proprietor and the opening was pronounced a success by all present. First the new hall is an ideal place for a picture show, as Capt. H. W. Warner has had the seats nicely ar ranged and every thing about the hall fixed' up to date and comfor table in every way, second there were four reels shown last night and all the scenes -were line and all the machines work splendid. There was a large crowd present, tha building well filled, and the audi ence was unusually quiet and seem ed to take a great interest in the pictures. Consequently considering all the points we think the 'opening was a great success. And there is another thing that we wish to say that in so far as we know the Ivey mill village is the first and only mill village that can boast of having a permanent mov ing picture show. The show will be open tonight again, commencing at 7 p. m. ' And we want to say in conclu sion that all the people of the vil lage centainly appreciate both the new hall with all the departments heretofore in use and now the addition of the movies makes it better. We will all say many thanks tc the superintendent and mill owners for providing this new building with all its conveniences for our good. J. T. L.

Now that Americas war prepara tion on a gigantic scale, is provided for so far as it can be by legis lation, it is time for old-fashioned republicans to revise their stock belief in the inherent democratic lack of capacity. IFew war votes in coi gress, it is true, have been on par ty lines. Democrats have been free to acknowledge the valuable aid of republicans. But, after all, the immense work has had to get its in itiative and direction from a dem ocratic administration. To claim a partisan credit on this account would be ungracious and offensive. But it i3 obvious that the great achievement must put an end to an cient partisan flings. W now have the complete demonstration that the country will not go to the remnition bow-wows when a great crisis con fronts the democratic part in office. To the leading and labors of the president many republicans are will ing to pay generous tributes. Indeed we have heard some sagacious repub licans contend privately that it wa a good thing for the country to have a democratic president at this junc ture. He could control the unruly members of his own party while, of course, the republicans always stood ready to do the patriotic thing! Be this as it may, we think it will be some time before complacement republican chiefs talk again about their party being the only one "fit to rule.

Chilly weather followed Friday's incipient snowstorm. A cold breeze blew across the field, and most of the spec tators, their temperature sub-normal as a result of the two defeats of the Sox, shivered in the sun. Spectators wrapped themselves in big overcoats and padded themselves with newspapers. The players were , wrapped in sweaters. The Giants had either Sallee or Benton t send against the Sox.

GERMANY IS SORRY AT BEING CAUGHT By th Associated PrF 1 By the Associated Press. While the British offensive has , come to a momentary pause with the gains effective everywhere held, a situation latent with big possibili, ties developed on the Russian front. The landing of German troops on the islands of Oesel and Dago at the mouth of the Gulf of Riga is re ported today from Petrograd. From the shore edge at Hatsel, opposite Dago island a railroad runs direct to Rivel, the Russian naval base on the gulf of Finland, and the key to Kronstadt. The islands themselves have been bases of no little importance to the Russians, especially as scouting bas es. Their seizure would render the Russian fleets useless in the gulf of Riga and apparently offer an excel lent tarting point for Petrograd if the Germans elect to attack this winter. The lateness of the season has deemed to preclude any attempt by tne l eutons to make a drive at this iime, while next spring, it is admit ted, the Russian government will be stronger and the chances of suc cess smaller. In Flanders heavy rains which stopped Field Marshal Haig's drive yesterday before all his objectives were attained continued today making the field a quagmire. The mud evidently was hamper ing the Germans equally, for they did not deliver a single counter attack during the night. On the French front the chief ac tivities have been in the Aisne re gion. The German crown prince made several attacks last night on this fron.t .He was met with resis tance by Geneial Petain's forces, however, and each time repulsed. First Baptist ;Sunday school t 9.30.
