GRIM OBSTINACY MARKS CONFLICT ON BELGIAN SOIL Advance Made House by House While Allies Try to Smash German Move on ' Calais.

ARTILLERY ADVANCES Teutons Bring Up Heavy Cannon to Bring Success to Great Flanking Movement in North. BY LEASED WIRE. PARIS, Oct 19 Efforts by the Gergnan army In Belgium to strike the French have thus far been repelled, fend the allies, with whom the Belgian troops are now fighting, have gained ground, according to an official statement issued here this afternoon. The Germans have brought their artillery Into action in their attempt to bring to success their great flanking movement. The official statement follows: "The enemy's heavy artillery has cannonaded without result the front of Nieumport-Vladsloo, at the east of Dixmude. The allied forces, and notably the Belgian army, have not only repulsed the new German attacks but have advanced to Roulers (22 miles from the coast) "On our left wing, between the Lys and the canal of Labassee, we have advanced In the direction of Lille. Extremely obstinate conflicts are taking place on the front of Labassee-Ablain-St. Nasaire. We are advancing house by house in these two localities, to the borth and to the south of Arras. Fight Ten Days. "Our troops have been fighting without respite for more than ten days with a perseverance and a courage Vhich have not given way at any time. "In the region of Chaulnes we have Repulsed a strong counter-attack by he enemy and gained some ground. "At the center there is nothing to Report "On our right wing, In Alsace, and to the west of Colmar, our advance guards are on the line of Bonhomme-Palrls-Sulzern. Farther to the south we still hold Thann." The desperate nature of the fighting going on between the allies and the Germans In the district near the coast is shown by the statement that the former are gaining "house by house." This shows that the conflict is raging in and through the little towns in the battle region. T LANDS THIRD IN RACE FOR CUP Whirlwind Finish Places Richmond Well Up in the Contest. In a whirlwind finish, Richmond Y. M. C. A. landed in third place in the final standing in the inter-city membership campaign with a net total of 1,758 points. Officials of the "Y" and members of the teams worked hard all day Saturday, rounding up prospective members. Evansville won the trophy cup, making a net total of 6,369 points, and Crawford8ville was second with 2,629 points. Richmond entered the contest with a handicap of 150 points, based on the population of the city and the annual budget of the association. A total of 2,008 points was scored by the local association, which were derived from 114 new members, 145 renewals and the collection of $1,492. "The campaign has been a great benefit to us," said Secretary Learner today. "Of course we are disappointed because we did not win, but considering the conditions we have made a very good showing. The financial re:turns were very satisfactory, but we are more pleased over the fact that our membership has been increased." LOTT WANTS TO BE AUDITOR OF STATE George W.

Louvain Residents Search Ruins of Homes

After the terrible bombardment, burning and sacking of Louvain by the German forces, this photograph was snapped. "My heart bleeds for Louvain" said the German Kaiser when he was told of the havoc his forces had wrought. Residents of Louvain are here searching among the ruins of their homes for valuables they were forced to abandon.

EDGAR ILIFF SAYS FOULKE ENDORSES GERMAN STAND Cites Bitter Attack of Inhuman Atrocities and Autocracy of Russians in "Slav or Saxon" as Unwitting Approval of Kaiser's People.

BY EDGAR ILIFF. Dreamers of universal peace may now read again the words of Plato, "All states are in perpetual war with all. For that which we call peace is more than merely a name, whilst in reality nature has set all communities in an unproclaimed but everlasting war with each other." Amid the multiplicity of books and histories, bearing directly or remotely upon the European war, the searcher for light stands both amazed and puzzled. If he wishes to trace conflict pathologically, seeking the nature, causes, progress and symptoms of the disease, he finds himself confronted with an enormous task. He must go back years, centuries, ages. Even the very beginnings of the Saxon, German, and Slav races are lamps whose dim light casts some reflection upon these peoples now struggling for survival. If we blame Kaiser Wilhelm, or King George, the President of France or the Czar of Russia, we are wide of the mark. They are personally no more to blame than they would be were the earth to violently shift its axis and cause a tragic cataclysm. No Ruler to Blame. Albert Bushnell Hart, professor of history at Harvard university, says that "The responsibility of this war rests upon no individual and upon no one nation, but upon the interlocking of Europe, commercially, territorially and socially, so that one power after another was drawn in the maelstrom. No monarch can go against the spirit of his people. Every country in this war is united in what is considered a natural war. It is not a war of dynasties or statesmen or military leaders. It is not a war of revenge for the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. This is a war of peoples." Field Marshal Von Moltke declares in the opening of his "History of the Franco-German War," written in 1887: "It is no longer the ambition of monarchs which endangers peace, but the impulses of a nation, its dissatisfaction with its internal conditions, the strife of parties and the intrigues of their leaders. Today the question is not so much wnetner a nation is strong enough to make war as wnetner' its government is powerful enough to nrovpnt war, ne exeat wars oi re - cent times have been declared against the wish and will of the reigning powers." Contention Continues. We have still further elucidation of war in General Homer Lee's "The Day of the Saxon" when the author says: "There is no line of demarcation between peace and war. In all the struggles of the human race we are unable to determine with exactitude the beginning of a single war. International war has no beginning and no end, so long as mankind brings himself together in political and individual contention. Whether it is for good or for evil, this everlasting struggle forms the necessary motif of human aspiration. Between a spider slipping his web from twig to leaf and a man threading his nets from threshold to threshold, between a nest of ants by the roadside and a tribe of men upon a greater way, there is no difference. Individual strife is the epitome of selfishness; war is a gigantic altruism." In seeking more light upon this contest of the people of France, Germany, England and Russia, I read over again the book "Slav or Saxon" by William Dudley Foulke, written or published j twenty-seven years ago, in 1887. This j was the year Von Moltke was writing ; his memoirs of the Franco-German ! war. I read this book again because , I distinctly remembered that it prophesied the ultimate clash between England and Russia and the final supremacy of either Slav or Saxon in the world. The present alliance between England and Russia, between Slav and Saxon, between the powers of light' and the powers of darkness, between j civilization and barbarism, between ; constitutional government nd iaf a j mous anstoeraay, led m to onoejbpre read Mr. Foulke's iptriUA denwrala-

tion of Russia and his reasons for thinking that Slav and Saxon could never go hand in hand and that such an alliance would be the most unholy and infamous union in the world's history. France Grows Weaker. In his chapter on "The Coming Struggle" between England and Russia, Mr. Foulke said that France, while she would always be an ally of Russia against Germany, had seen her best days; that Austria was ii the weakness of her old days; that German power was near its end, had reached a limit beyond which it could never pass; and that the only three great peoples on earth were the Americans, the English and the Russians. The "Coming Struggle" was to between England and Russia for the supremacy of the world. "The future world is to be Slav or Saxon," said Mr. Foulke, "and the great struggle between Slav and Saxon is not far away." Twenty-seven years pass and we find the struggle is between Slav and Germans with the Saxon helping the Slav. The prophecy failed. The Slav still pushes forward. There is still "The Russian Advance" as Albert J. Beveridge called it, but Germany cries halt, not England. No doubt the German people know Russia better than Mr. Foulke. The story of the Baltic provinces as told by Poultney Bigelow in his book "The Borderland of Czar and Kaiser," is terrible, but it is not more severe than Mr. Foulke's indictment of the Russian despotism. What Mr. Foulke knows of Russian cruelties was gained by reading. What Germans and Austrians know on the same subject was gained by bitter i experience and much suffering. Cites Corrupt Practices. Speaking of Russian officials, Mr. Foulke says: "Every one steals from the lowest to the highest. This dishonesty spreads from the officials to the merchants, the peasants, and all other classes. It is a Russian proverb that Christ himself would steal if his hands were not nailed to the cross." And with this nation of thieves England has joined hands in order to " - y v ' , " C. T characteristic is absolute honesty ,""" "We can see," says Mr. Foulke, "what the world would be if it should become subject to Russian influence." Sure! We would become subject to the most astute diplomats in the world. Mr. Foulke later said that the Germans totally lack diplomacy. If diplomacy means buying and stealing then the Germans can never be diplomats! In Mr. Foulke's chapter on the "History of Russia" he says that "one cannot read without sickening the stories of murders, massacres, intrigues, of women and children imnaled alive. j men burned in iron cages, excruciating wn-ures, muuiaiion oi iace ami nuiu, ' iscuouiuus uum iu iourteen years oi age are Danisnea ior wrong political opinions. Men were broken on the wheel, drowned under the ice, flogged to death, buried alive up to the neck, torn to piece by iron hooks. The debtor was tied up halfnaked in a public place, beaten three hours a day for forty days and sold Into slavery. Compare this with Germany where every school boy is taught the extreme weakness often results in impaired hearing, weakened eyesight, bronchitis and other troubles, but if Scott's Emulsion is given promptly. it carries strength, to the organs and creates rich blood to build op the depleted forces.

to reverence his country because it had always given refuge to the persecuted, whether Jews, Slavs, or of whatever race or belief. Think of this, too: Germans never owned slaves and have always detested slavery! I cannot quote more from Mr. Foulke's terrible indictment of Russia. I am one of his readers "who cannot read without sickening" but I am made more sick when I read that the England of Shakespeare, who wrote the grand words, "The only deformity in all the world is unkindness" that the England of Eilberforce and Elizabeth Fry has gone in league with Russia to strangle liberty and humanity! I heartily endorse Mr. Foulke's concluding words in his book: "No man with Anglo-Saxon instincts can read this story but his blood will boil at the recital of these outrages. "It is time for the Russian autocracy to die. It is the la6t great despotism on earth, the only one which has withstood the glare of modern civilization, which seeks the aid of the foremost champion of liberty in forging the more securely the fetters which bind its slaves. "It is time that the world was aroused to the enormities of the present despotism, not only for the sake of the doomed millions of Russian, but for the sake of civilization itself, which may hereafter be tained by the blights of her domination. The world should speak with one voice and tell the autocracy that one hundred millions of human being can no longer remain subject to the caprices of a single tyrant, that the light of knowledge can no longer be darkened over one-sixth of the world by the selfishness of a single ruler. The Russian government will never cease to be a menace to the civilized world, it will never stay its march of aggrandizement till it ceases to be a military power." Thus Mr. Foulke, in the enthusiasm and exultation of liberty, condemned Russia. Thus Mr. Foulke pours invective and contempt upon any champion of liberty who would even sympathize with Russia. To sympathize is "to forge the more securely the fetters which bind Russia's slaves." Thus Mr. Foulke condemns England. Thus he unwittingly endorses Germany, for not one word applied to Russia can hold against the German race from its most ancient days.
