powers of Europe, with Vast quantities of food supplies. That this opportunity exists because of President "Wilson's wise and Arm administration of the government is universally conceded.

MUNTOH, Oct 29, (via Berlin and London. Oot &1)>—The "old idea" of the plotureequeness of warfare, of wild cavalry charges, of orderlies galloping here and there, of dashing charges eclipsing everything else, has changed. Today modern warfare Is general slaughter "by artillery with infantry advancing a foot at a time under cover of a hellish fire from their own guns. The Impression the soldier today carries away Is one of noise and empty spaced "Propped up his bed In the mllr. ltary hospital here William Joggl, a* famous Alpine guide, who was wounded, has figured It out that a battle would be a grand thing to Bee. "When they told me that we were on the firing llnet" he said, "I spit on my hands and got ready. But it did no good. They put us in the trenches and we began shooting. But what is the sport of shooting if you do not see what you are shooting at The shells burst and make an awful noise. But you never see the Frenchias. "Only once did I get a chance. Then we were- told to. charge and I got a hold of a big Frenchman. We both had lost our guns and I grabbed him. We rolled on the ground and he bit one of my ears off while I was mauling him.

scrawled his sign at the bottom of the confession. He met "Lucille," he said, in a resort at Champaign and became infatuated with her. He deliberately set about to put his wife and children out of the way. He bought ten sticks of dynamite, explosive caps and several feet of fuse and hid them In a "wheat bin on his farm. On the night of September 27, Stone said, the family retired early after returning from a drive. After midnight he slipped out to the wheat bin, leaving his wife and the four babies asleep in a room directly over the "kitchen.

Waits for Blast.

Creeping back to the house he placed the dy.naipite under the kitchen table, lighted the fuse and then coolly took up a position In the yard to await the explosion. The blast, Stone said, shook the house which Immediately burst into flames. "I waited a while," he said in his sworn confession, "to see that she was burning all right Then I called a couple of the neighbors. When they came I told them it was no use—my wife and the babies were Iburned dp —and they didn't try to do anything? but save the furniture."

Stone was suspected the day after the crime. His Infatuation for "Lucille" was discussed and the woman and Stone disappeared, but through the woman the police traced him to Mattoon, 111., where It was foun$ that "Joseph A. Tablort* had enlisted shortly after the fire.

The cutting of the dykes by the Belgians continues to increase the flow of water in the lowlands, increasing the difficulties of the Germans, many of whom have been drowned.

testing six submarines that have been sent to Antwerp. In addltin, other submarines are reported in the canal between Zeebrugge and Bruges, being fitted for active service. Winter quarters are also being prepared in the neighborhood of Essen for several army corps.

While this may only be a precautionary movement, the belief Is general here that the German general staff has shifted its plans concerning the capture of Calais and Dunkirk. They have lost thousands of men In the fighting of the last thirteen days— some of the estimates place the number In excess of 150,000—and while the Germans are still west of the Tser at certain points, at others they have been driven several miles to the east of It Unless they can bring up re-lnforcements of not less than 200,000 men they can hardly expect to get even within cannon range of the French coast positions.

What Is looked for by the officials at General Galllenl^s headquarters here Is that the Germans will withdraw a material pert of the army which has been operating against the Russians on the attempted invasion of Russian Poland and send them to re-lnforce the Germans on their left wing and center. All of the news reaching here from German sources emphasizes the importance which the German military experts are placing on the operations along the Toul-Verdun line. Because of this fact it Is understood here that reinforcements are being sent to the points threatened.

Russians Have Task.

The advices received from the Russian theatre of war here all agree that the weather conditions are Buch that they have interfered seriously with the Russian offensive and have enabled the Germans to reach their first entrenched line. Winter campaigning naturally will be slow and there is no attempt here to minimize the task before the Russian armies, enormous though they may be. The Germans have greatly strengthened their barrier fort along the East Prussian front. In addition they have enormous reserves of artillery and supplies and the Russians will be compelled to advance foot by foot gaining a little at a time and forced to make frontal assaults on masked positions. Because of this fact it Is not believed here that Russians will be able to do much more than break down the barrier forts and reach the main secondary line much before spring.

Meanwhile the fighting here will continue and Germany will attempt operations on the sea with her fleet. There is, however, no feeling of alarm manifested in French official circles. As a matter of fact It was announced from a high source, although not officially, that the French capital will be moved back to this city from Bordeaux about the 20th of November and that the national assembly will meet late in December to take up emergency legislation. Hundreds of those who fled the capital have already returned here. Hotels and business houses are being reopened and it is believed that by the first of the year the Bourse, in connection with the exchanges of London and New York, will be reopened for business.

Casualty List Enormous. Although there Is no official lnformation obtainable here regarding the casualty lists of the recent fighting it is admitted that they are enormous. Every hospital In this city, public and emergency, is filled with wounded and long trains are following each other south to temporary hospital camps established at a number of places. Most of the wounded have shrapnel wounds and the majority are serious cases. The fast that much of the fighting Is now taking place in mud adds to the problem. Wounds are Infected and there are
