Eyewitness of Events in North of France Says Men Also Are Greatly Exhausted.

ADMITS GERMAN ENEMIES FIGHT WELL AND SKILLFULLY

•J! /, if Always Manage to Remove Their Wounded and Often to Bury Their Dead When Compelled to Retire.

LONDON, Oct. 24.—11:30 a. m.—Another descriptive recital of events in the north of France from an eye witness attached to the British fjeneral headquarters was issued by the official information bureau today.

It is dated October 17. It speaks of the fitness of the troops and declares that "the fact that we are steadily ad vancing and that the enemy la giving way before us has proved a most welcome and inspiring change." Continning, the report says: "This is not the only advantage we possess over the Germans for we still hear from prisoners that their advance troops at any rate are short of food and exhausted by continual outpost work. We can afford to give our troops more rest, and there is no lack of food. Many of the men opposed to us at the present time have had only two months' service and some of our prisoners declare they will not expose themselves in the trenches. Nevertheless the enemy in front of us is fighting well and skillfully and bhow Ing considerable power of endurance. They generally contrive to remove their wounded and often to bury their killed before they retire, and their escape is often facilitated by the numerous deep ditches in this country. "Many of their cavalry patrols are wearing Belgian uniforms, a practice which is not excusable on the ground of any lack of their own.

Scouts Show Bravery.

"An incident which occurred October 13 shows the resource and bravery of some of our enemy's scouts. A detachment of German artillery was retiring and from time to time coming into action. An officer of one of our flank cavalry patrols had been standing for some minutes under a tree when he noticed a fine wire hanging down close to the trunk. He followed the wire upward with his eye and was astonished to see one of the enemy in the tree. As he drew his revolver and fired the German dropped on his head, also firing. The British officer was stunned and when he came to It was to find himself alone with the peak of his cap blown away and his uniform .covered,with blood ^hich was not his own. "As the campaign goes on the tendency of the Germans to rely on their splendid war material with which they have been so amply provided, rather than on the employment of masses of men, has become more marked. There are now indications, however, that their supply of material is not Inexhaustible and the significant circular of the Prussian minister of war enjoining a careful search of battlefields for equipment, and even the collection, of empty cartridge cases, has been quoted in a previous letter. This circular seems to have been prompted more by necessity than by habits of economy, for in the recent fighting both gun and rifle ammunition of old patterns has been found in trenches evacuated by the enemy, on their dead and on prisoners."

SERVIANS CLAIM VICTORY.

Say Enemy Has Been Repulsed All Along Line. NISH, Servia, (via London), Oct. 24. —4:36 p. m.—A semi-official statement given out in this city today declares that on October 20 the enemy attacked the Servian and Montenegrin troops along the entire Bosnian front. All these onslaughts were repulsed, and some of the enemy's columns which had made counter attacks against the Servians were compelled to retreat in disorder. In the pursuit of these detachments Servian troops advanced for some distance.

At all other points on the front the situation remains unchanged, th$statement continues.

ZEEBRUGE PIER BLOWN UP?

Tremendous Explosions on Belgian Coast Give Rise to Belief. ROTTERDAM, (via London) Oct. 24.—6:15 a. m.—According to a report from Flushing published in the Nieuwe Courant, a tremendous explosion was heard at 7:30 Friday night on the Belgian coast, followed by another .at eight.

LOOTING OF ANTWERP

Warns Germans That They Must Not Break Into Shops or Otherwise Misuse Rights.

THE HAGUE (via London), Oct. 24. —10:40 a. m.—Major General Von Bodenhausen, military commander cf Antwerp, has issued a proclamation, countersigned by Burgomaster De^es of Antwerp, warning the Gernan troops that they are not permitted to commandeer anything whatsoever and, that this privilege is only allowed' to' officers In accordance with the necessities of military occupation.

Anything the soldiers need they must buy, the general's proclamation recites, and he strictly forbids the soldiers from breaking into shops or misusing their might. Antwerp, he says, was only surrendered on the understanding that the troops would not misuse their power.

Newspaper advices from Hallo Germany, state that the German authorities have opened an inquiry to discover whether Gen. Leman, the defender of Liege, who is now a prisoner at Magdeburg, is not identified "vith Heinrich Lehmann, a soldier of the German army, who deserted during the war of 1870. There appears to be an extraordinary likeness, the advices say, between the men.

RATE HEARING CONTINUED.

Arguments Will Begin Tuesday With Early Finding Likely. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24—Hearings before the interstate commerce commission on the application of eastern railroads for a general increase in freight rates came to an end late yesterday.

Arguments will be heard next week, with every indication of an early decision by the commission.

The presentation of the case of opposing shippers occupied less than two hours, as against the five days occupied by witnesses for the carriers. It consisted only of a statement by Clifford Thorne, counsel for several western state railway commissions and shippers' associations, who took the position that no business depression had been shown by the carriers that did not equally effect shippers, and that the 4ncrease would be unjust. Counsel for all other shippers represented joined in the statement.

Arguments will begin next Tuesday morning and probably will be concluded Friday.

either gaining what might be called a techncal point of advantage over the other.

Fighting I* Incessant.

A special dispatch states that the allies have advanced further on Ostend, their lines now extending from the coast to a point between Slype and St. Pierre Capelle. Other dispatches declare that the Germans, after a success on the Yser, are leaving the coast and working around by Dixmude to Lille, thereby clearing the way to Ostend and leaving their position open to a flanking movement by tne allies.

One thing emerges clear from all the reports and that is th^Lt incessant fighting prevails over the west Flanders front from Roulers to Thourout and between Nieuport and Ostend.

Petrograd reports a continuation of the pursuit of the Germans retreating from Warsaw and admits an unexpectedly stubborn resistance to the Russian offensive from the Austrians on the San, while the official Vienna report, after detailing successes before Przemysl and a dashing movement toward the Vistula, admits that the Russians were permitted to cross the San in several places.

England is hoping that the career of the famous German commerce destroyer Emden is ended. This hope is based on a couple of more or less cryptic cables from Bombay, one issued by the Bombay government, declaring that all sea routes may be considered reasonably safe from o'clock in the evening of October 21, and the other an unconfirmed report from Bombay to the Morning Post, datad the 22nd, that the Emden had finally been accounted for.

FAYETTE VOTING PLACE.

The county commissioners Saturday heard the application to change the voting place in Fayette township, precinct A, from Sh'irkieville to Sandford. The commissioners announced chat it had been placed at Shirkieville to accommodate the majority of the voters in the precinct, and it would be allowed to remain there unless good reasons could be shown for the change.

TERBE HAUTE TRIBUNE!

Says Germaiiy Will Respect the Monroe Doctrine, Regardless of Outcome of the War.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—Count Von Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United States, said today that the United States had been notified that regardless of the outcome of the war Germany would respect the Monroe doctrine.

Count Bernstorff said he had filed with the state department on September 3, soon after his arrival in this country frotn Berlin, a written official statement that Germany would not infringe on the Monroe doctrine, no matter what the outcome of the war.

The ambassador said his assurances had first been given informally in conversation with one of the officials of the state department, he could* not recall whether it was Secretary Bryan or Counselor Lansing. Mr. Lansing said today the assurances had not been given to him and that he did not know of them. Secretary Bryan Is in the west, speaking in the congressional campaign.

The ambassador said the statement was made because of statements from various English sources that Germany, if successful, would not respect the Monroe doctrine and doubtless would attempt to make great colonization schemes in South America. The am bassador declared that all such statements were entirely false and that his statement filed with the department majle that very clear.

The ambassador said he could not recall exactly how many days It had been between the time of his formal announcement to the state department and his putting the matter In writing, but it could not have been very long.

JAPS AND CHINESE CLASH.

Hostile Incidents Continue Between Oriental Nations. PEKING, Oct. 24.—Hostile incidents between the Chinese and Japanese continue. The Chinese government is still protesting against the presence of Japanese forces in China but restrains its soldiers from any overt acts.

The latest protest concerns the Japanese seizure of the German torpedo boat destroyer 'S-90. This vessel, after having sunk the Japanese cruiser Takachiho, was run upon the China coast at a point 16 miles to the south of Tsing Tau. The Chinese authorities took possession of hqr but the Japanese came along by sea and drove the Chinese away. Herre Von Maltzan, the German minister in Peking, has protested to the foreign office against thej interning of the S-90's crew by China, contending that the Chinese government has permitted Japanese soldiers to land upon her territory without taking them under arrest.

RED CROSS IN PORT AFTER TICKLISH IP

Ship Dodged Mines in English Channel, and Crew Fought Most of the Way.

NCEJW YORK, Oct. 24.—The steamer Red Cross, which sailed from New York early, in September with 154 American nurses and doctors for European battle fields, reached port today with four members of her crew confined in the brig for fighting on the way over.

Rear Admiral Aaron Ward, United States navy, retired, who went aboard the Red Cross at Falmouth as the head of the expedition, said that ill feeling had existed ainong members of the shipe crew both on the voyage over and back and that quarrels were frequent. Once In a while he said the men came to blows. The fighting occurred between the white and negro members of the crew which were picked at short notice In New York.

The men in the brig were all white and were charged with insubordination. The particular offense attributed to them was a light with negroes for the possession of some chicken.

The Red Cross, according to Admiral Ward, had a ticklish time after she left Rotterdam dodging mines in the English channel and from one apparently had a narrow esoape. "We left Rotterdam on the return voyage to New York, October 10," said the admiral. "Ebctra precautions were taken to avoid possible contact with mines and to be prepared for eventualities should an accident occur. We had on board 150 passengers. Life boats were slung out and water-tight compartments closed. On approaching the vicinity of the mine fields we were warned by a British torpedo boat destroyer that one mine was adrift, but on comparing the bearings given we found that we had already passed its neighborhood. The destroyer was looking for the mine and I have since been Informed the steamer Noordam struck one In that immediate locality."

District Attorney Smith talked to Mrs. Carman in a voice almost as lowj as hers. He used none of the methods he employed when cross-examin-: ing the strikebreakers who appeared for the defense. He handled the wife, of the Freeport physician with every care. He was courteous and at times he almost pleaded with her to answer, his questions.

Mrs. Carman frequently becam* confused* and at times she hesitated and fenced with the prosecutor, but he asked the same questions again and again until she gave an answer that he let stand on the record.
