tiiiiK-ii tat l «irain t the attempt
of the Alii*-* to outflank him in
Northwest Franc*.
The French. who officially re-
ported that all German attack* in
this region had been repulaed and
that the All** had resumed the
offensive. announced that the bat-
tle north of the Oiae river which
commenced seriously about Sep-
tember 25. cootinaea with great
violence with no decisive result
and that at certain poiuta the
French troop* have had to yield
ground.
The Germans in their latest re-
port aav the battle is proceeding
guccewfully for them.
Germans Weaken Center
The country where the chief fight-
ing is going on is flat and un<ier culti-
vation. In many places it Is boggy
and there are scattered coal mines.
The allied armies are continually ex-
tending toward the north and bend-
ing eastward toward the Belgian
frontier, thus compelling the Ger-
mane. in order to prevent the crumb-
ling up of their main army, to move
large forces from the center and so
keep pace with the Allies, whose po-
sition menaces the invaders along
the whole line. The Allies' plan, it Is
thought, may compel the Germans to
release the pressure on the Belgians.
Both Sides Rally.
From September 28 to October 3 the
Allies were having all the best of the
fight against General Von Kluck.
They were battering his army badly
and they had almost accomplished a
crushing flank movement not far
south of Ostend, Belgium, when the
Germans rallied and pushed back the
French-British left wing.
A similar operation took place In
the eastern field, except, however, the
positions of the opponents were re-
versed. The Germans had silenced
some of the important forts around
fVerdun, a French army base, and were
beginning a serious penetration into
eastern France. The French rallied,
drove the Germans clear back Into
"Lorraine and penetrated German ter-
ritory through the Vosges mountain
passes. But they haven't gone much
beyond the mountains.

Brussels Near Starvation
London—Seven hundred flfcousand
persons In Brussels are facing starva-
tion. according to Hugh Gibson, the
secretary of the American embassy
there, who is now in this city. Ef-
forts to get food from Antwerp have
failed.
Russians Rout Germans
Rome.—The Russian embassy here
has made public an official communi-
cation received from the Russian
headquarters staff, saying:
"The defeat of the Germans is com-
plete. Their retreat is changing ln;o
a rout that is so disorderly and pre-
cipitate that they are forced to aban-
don everything.
20,000 Germans Ambushed.
The Russians and Germans are pun-
ishing one another with frightful se-
verity in Russian Poland, where the
Germans have invaded a distance of
fifty miles, and in Austrian Galicia,
where Russian operations have been
strongest.
When the Germans attempted to
cross the Xiemen river, just beyond
the East Prussia border In Russia,
20,000 were wiped out in a Russian
trap. At another point a similar at
tempt was repulsed with losses of
8,000 to the Germans. This is report-
ed by a London newspaper correspon-
dent. The Germans repulsed the Rus-
sians and inflicted great losses when
the Slavs pierced the German center
at Augustowoo, Russian Poland.
The Russians are not proceeding in
their campaign with speed. They
have poured an immense army upon
Galicia and Prussia but the Germans
and Austrians have hindered them
successfully.
To Leave Capital.
Vienna.—In anticipation of the im-
pending siege of Vienna, the emperor
and the cabinet have decided on the
removal of the capital from Vienna

Portugal Is Ready to Join.
Washinston — While no confirma-
tion of the report from Berlin that
Portugal was pressing to Join force*
with the Allies against Germany had
bbeen received by the Portuguese
legation here, the minister. Viscount
De Alte, said his country was pre-
pared to take that step whenever
Great Britain should call on it to do
so.
Battle st Taing Tau.
Tokio.—A severe engagement has
been opened by the German warships,
which cannonaded the Japanese posi-
tions near Tsing Tau, east of the gov-
ernment of Kalo Chow, the German
leased territory in China. Two offi-
cers were killed. German aeroplanes
assisted the warships.
The Japanese war office announces
that an artillery duel at Tsing Tau
continues. A German torpedo bpat
destroyer was sunk in the harbor
Wednesday. Apparently this ship was
riot in action From other sources it
is said that the German destroyer was
sunk by Japanese siege guns.
The Japanese squadron delegateJ
to destroy the German fleet in the
South seas has landed bluejackets on
Jaluit Island, the seat of government
in the Marshall Archipelago, which
was annexed by Germany in 1886.
Kaiser Warns Greece.
London.—A dispatch to the Express
from Rome states that it is reported
there that Emperor William of Ger-
many has sent a telegram to the king
of Greece warning him that if Greece
enters into a war against Turkey, Ger-
many will not guarantee the future
existence of Greece. King Oonstan-
tine replied, the dispatch declares,
that if any of the Balkan states took
up arms on either side, Greece would
declare for the triple entente.

Report* of divisions In General
Francisco Villa's army were confirmed
by definlt* information received at
the border from both official and Im-
partial aource*. The Arrleta brothers,
who long hsv* dominated the constl-
tutlonslist troops in the stst* of Do-
rango. are said to have revolted to
Csrransa. Rumors that General Mon-
clovlo Herrera with hi* entire brigade
had revolted against Villa's sutborlty
were confirmed. Tomas t'rblna. one
of Villa's leaders. Is reported to have
taken Durango City from ths Arrleta
troops after a battle.
Had Disobeyed Orders.
While nominally attached to Villa's
division the Arrieta brothers, Domin-
go and Mariano, on previoua occasions
have refuaed to obey hla orders.
At the time of Villa'a final attack
on Torreon he ordered the Arrletaa
to Join him before that town with
their brigadea.
They refuaed, saying they would not
lead their troopa out of their home
atate. Villa iasued an order for their
arrest, but was unable to spare troops
to carry out the order. Jt was said
that Carrania's visit to Durango In
May was to adjust these differences.
As a result of his visit Mariano Arrie-
ta was placed in command in Durango
and Domingo led his troops to Join
General Natera, In the assault on Zac-
atecas. Carranza's order to Villa to
reinforce Natera at Zacatecas was in-
timately connected with the first break
between Carranza and Villa
After the defeat of the Arrletaa at
Durango Tuesday, it is reported in
advices to Jnarez, they fled Into
strongholds In the mountains. Gen-
eral Tomas Urbina, who Is reported
to have taken Durango from the Ar-
rieta s, captured that city from the
federals in August, 1913.
Herrera and his troops are en-
trenched at Parral. It was reported
that when Herrera announced alle-
giance to Carranza that Villa officials
imprisoned his brother, Luis, and their
father, Jose De la Luz Herrera, at
Chihuahua City.
Railroad Traffic Suspended.
These internal disorders in Villa ter-
ritory, it was admitted, had occasioned
suspension of all outgoing traffic on
the Mexican Central railroad to pre-
vent the news reaching the border.
Rafael E. Muzquiz, Carranza consul
general on the border announced here
that he had received definite informa-
tion that scores of officers of the old
federal army were preparing to join
Villa.
From Naco it is reported Sonora is
dominated almost completely by Yaqui
Indians whom Governor Mayotrena
enlisted in his revolt against Carranza.
Arrivals from the western state de-
clare Indians have been placed In
civil offices in the state capital, Her-
mosillo, and other towns and that
the entire state was in their power.
The Yaquis, it was declared, had set
about taking forcibly the lands which
they have cla'med for years and
which they had been promised by vari-
ous revolutionary factions.

A number of the orders for execu-

prison officials at McAlester, but War-
den Dick refused to honor any except
those bearing the signature of Secre-
tary of State Ben F. Harrison. Onlv-
three prisonera have been released.
They are: Charles Jaggers. Pittsburg
county, serving life sentence for mur-
der. paroled: Taylor Kirk. Canadian
county, life sentence, murder, paroled;
Mike Zanone. Pittsburg county, forty
years, manslaughter, pardoned.
A number of the prisoners wrero
prominent. Joe Proctor 1s the king of
the Oklahoma county gamblers: Nel-
son Hawkins was serving forty year*
for murdering a twelve-year-old In-
dian girl; Ned McDaniel was charged
with defalcation when county clerk
at Altus. He was secretory of the last
senate.
Mandamus Dropped.
Asserting that they have obtained
sufficient attestation to the pardons
and paroles granted by Acting Gover-
nor J. J. McAlester. Attorneys E. G.
McAdams and Norman Haskell dis-
missed the mandamus petitions
against Secretary of State Ben F. Har-
rison which were filed In the district
court.
This unexpected step on the part of
the attorneys representing several of
the persons pardoned and paroled by
the acting governor, followed a formal
written refusal by Secretary Harrison
to affix his signature and the great
seal of the state to the pardons.
Secretary Harrison wrote a separate
refusal to each of twenty-eight par-
dons. paroles and communications de-
livered to him by Attorney McAdams.
who at the same time turned over to-
the secretary the written order from
McAlester To these refusals. Secre-
tary Harrison affixed his signature
and the seal It la the contention of
the attorneys representing the benefi-
ciaries that this recognition by Secre-
tary Harrison that the documents
were filed Is all that Is necessary to-
make the acts o fMcAlester official.
An order was Issued by Governor
Lee Cruce on his return revoking al!
pardons, paroles and commutatlona of
sentencea granted by J. J. McAleater.
which were not recommended or ap-
proved by the priaon board of con-
trol.
Whether the revocation order, un-
der the circumstances, is valid and
will hold In court remains to be seen
la ths litigation that I* certain to
ensue In behalf of the men were re-
ceived clemency at tbe baada of tko
