TEUTON MARCH

BEYOND YSER Allies Maintain Frontal Positions Blocking Germans in March Through Northwest of Belgium. SOUTH LINE INTACT London Gives Austrians Credit for Surprising Russians and Servians in Eastern Theatres of War. BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, Staff Correspondence of International News Service. PARIS. Oft. 26. Despite their furious attacks, the Germans, who succeeded in crossing the Yser, in northwestern Belgium, have failed to make any further progress, it is officially announced by the French war office. During Sunday the allies were able to maintain their frontal positions, it was stated. The announcement in full follows: "During the day yesterday our front has been maintained. The forces of the Germans that had succeeded in crossing the river Yser, between Nieuport and Dixmude, have not been able to make any further progress. "Our front extends in a general way from Nieuport and Dixmude to the region between Ypres and Roulers, to that between Armentiers and Lille, west of La Bassee and of Lens, and east of Arras. This line is prolonged to the south by that which had already been indicated in official communication. "In the battles of these latter days the enemy appears to have suffered considerable losses. LONDON'S VIEW. LONDON, Oct. 26. The beginning of the thirteenth week of the war finds the allies and the Germans still locked in a furious struggle in the western theatre of war. In the eastern and southern theatres of war the Austrians seem to have rallied and taking on a new fighting strength, much to the surprise of the Russians and the Servians. The greatest interest centers in the fighting in the northern sphere around Arras, Lille and over the Nieuport-Dimude-Roulois line in Belgium. The ; timely arrival of big guns and rein forcements saved the Germans in that I region just as their lines had begun to crumble beneath the vigorous assaults of the French, British and Belgians.

Exhibit of Indiana s Art c Interests Local People

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Interesting is the exhibit of Indiana artists now on in the public art galleries. Interesting because it is a showing of native and local art. Interesting because it gives the public an opportunity to contrast. A love of art exists only in that community which gives an impetus to the creative spirit. A civic center which does not encourage its artists, in whatever media, to produce, is like a sterile fruit tree that gives out only luxuriant foliage or a. rose bush that turns into gorgeous shrubbery but never flowers. Therefore it is that the bestowal of the Mary T. R. Foulke prize given yearly for the best picture painted by an Indiana artist submitted, and the best by a local artist, are the real cri tenon of the town s reputation as a community which exploits the painting art. Richmond Work Counts. , .' nil it lununn i iidi iiit iJi-cuL ex hibition is the most interesting on account of its display of native art in competition. It is not what the artist who lives in New York or Chicago or San Francisco does that counts, so -much as the artist who lives in Indiana and especially Richmond, in this instance. We have resident in Richmond one of the leading landscapists in America, J. E. Bundy. One who rests on such exalted accomplishment of pure genius that he does not compete for prizes and it is only through his gracious generosity that his canvasses are hung in these exhibits of Indiana art. Bundy sends pictures for exhibition to add to the exhibition's interest. And they give an eclat it would not otherwise possess. His pictures shown now are among his best three large canvasses and one small. And they are loaned. Not for sale. Three of them, "Wane of Winter," "Brook in Winter" and "Autumn Woods," have been shown before. The fourth, "On Clear Creek Even-1 lng," is seen for the first time in Richmond and is a masterly transcription. No one who is able to get to the gallery should fail to see this wonderful picture.

give his product a distinction which sets him apart from many of his celebrated confreres. There is a spot of pure color in this picture the reflection of the sky in the water which is "of an exquisiteness." When color is under consideration, however, there is a gorgeous exhibition of its prodigal use in a small pic ture by George Balcer, called Late Afternoon," thrown on the canvas with that careless sureness which is Mr. Baker's chief claim to conspicuity. Here is an artist, highly endowed, j wno pamts witn tne ease anu assurance of many a versed academician and yet who has only his native gifts to build upon. This community should not permit ! fcuch tal('nts to lanPuish for lack of fucimi agemeni. Aim me umy genuine encouragement is in the purchase of his pictures. A number of others are shown this year from his brush, all small, but all notable for some phase of his technical prowess, "Early Spring Mist" having a fine sky. "Evening" the "feel" of the dying day; "Gray October," an atmospheric tonal study, and "Noc turne," a successful handling of color ' after the manner of Whistler. Frank Girardin is the most fully exhibited of the local artists, Girardin, at his best being a colorist, shown, perhaps, most conspicuously in his "Falling Leaves." which is fresh and crisp in its handling and attractive pictorially. Picture by Girardin. "August Morning Whitewater," by Mr. Girardin, is one of the best examples of his work shown this year, its scene familiar and its pictorial qualities evident. Two of the most striking pictures in the entire exhibit are those of W. T. Eyden. who is skillful in his handling of color. "The Closing of a. Day," a panel effect in water color being extraordinarily decorative and with a bizarre attraction in its composition; the other, an oil. "The Tines," being vigorously handled and also of decorative quality. Interesting, also, are the two small water colors by William Eyden, Jr., a young artiet wjiose work is attracting

,mt'm!&mii

much local attention, his "Morning" giving a realistic effect of the haze and mist of a gray dawn, and his "Falling Leaves" being good in composition. Mrs. Elmer Eggemeyer is the only local artist represented who paints the figure, her "Summer," the seated figure of a girl painted against the light, being striking in composition, color and handling. "Tante," by the same artist, is an interesting figure of an old woman in an apropos pose. Elwood Morris, of the other local artists, shows three attractive canvasses; W. A. Holly shows two small oils, good in color; A. W. Gregg one of his best still-lifes; Mr. Nordyke, several canvasses, including a California scene and a nice "Woodland"; Alden Mote, several water-colors and Clifford L. Richard, an autumn scene. Calls for Admiration. Little trace of the Cubist-Futurist-Post-impressionist madness that culI minated in the famous Armory exhi bition in New York, which was later, carted to Chicago, is found in the current exhibition of Indiana art here, with one or two exceptions, notably in the work of Martinus Anderson, of Indianapolis. While many atrocities have been committed in the name of the "new art" the output of Mr. Anderson only calls for admiring comment, although it is not necessarily beyond critical consideration. But here is an artist with a "punch." He "puts over" his "bunches of color," with enormous eclat. In New York last winter at the various great exhibitions of this school of art, the writer saw nothing half aa good as the work of Anderson, especially his "Roses in Sunshine," with its bizarre hunks of color and its effect of light and shadow; nor yet in his "Autumn Landscape" in which a certain yellow tree glitters and scintillates. Characterizes School. But in "Moto Legiodra" which, in cryptic motif and inexplicable composition, is more characteristic of the school which he affects is seen a manipulation of color as unusual as it is more or less compelling. Anyone who wants to see an example of the work of the ultra-modern school as painted by a resident Inuuwever, was out oi me runmug lur nit; prize, as ivir. r orsyin has secured it several times in succession and is now barred by the terms of its bestowal.

A delightful sketch is one by Lynn T.

Stark in "Broken Reflections, a crayon, gives another of his admirable pictorial presentations of sunset. Mr. Stark, in an oil, "The Red Door," has another admirable bit of painting on display, the red of the fruit carried by the girl in a basket on her arm, finely balancing the color motive which is the subject of the picture. Olive Rush, one of this state's finest artists, and who has long been in Philadelphia where she is known as a leader in the art life of that section of the country, has two canvases on display, "On the Balcony," and "Windy Day," both delightful figures painted in Miss Rush's broad method of handling her medium and among the most attractive pictures in the exhibit. One of the features of the exhibition is the portrait of George H. Knollenberg, by Miss Anna Newman, a Richmond artist now resident in Ft. Wayne, a reproduction of which is shortly to appear in the Indianapolis Star in an article concerning the work of this artist. The exhibit, as a whole, is interesting, but it is regrettable that some of our best-known resident artists have nothing on display, including T. C.

LONTZ CAR INJURES HORSE IN COLLISION William Witte and Family Escape When Automobile Crashes Into Rig. An addition to the long list of automobile accidents in Wayne county this year was made Sunday afternoon about 6 o'clock when an automobile driven by Harry Lontz collided with a rig driven by William L. Witte, who lives on the Abington pike near the city limits, injuring the horse so badly it had to be killed. The animal was a valuable one. Witte, his wife, four children and his sister-in-law, Dorothy Horstman, who were in the rig escaped without injury. The only damage done to the rig was the breaking of the shafts. The automobile was not damaged. Witte drove on South Third street to Main street, then watered his horse at a trough in front of the court house. This done he turned his horse to go west on Main street. As he did so the

machine, driven by Lontz, which was going east, turned to the left instead of attempting to pass the rig on the right, and struck the horse with great violence. The horse had its left foreleg broken above the knee. RALSTON FAILS TO (Continued from Page One.) became rivals to the government it self He said he voted with his party on the currency reform measure, which had taken the nation's financial resources away from Wall street and distributed them all over the country, thereby forever ending the era of in dustrial panics caused by a stringency in the money market, "Wealth had been escaping its just share of taxation so I supported the Democratic measure which gave to the country the income tax," Mr. Gray said, "and we also gave you the constitutional amendment which provides for the popular election of United States senators." He praised the policy of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan of "watchful waiting," which he declared prevented a war with Mexico and saved thousands of American lives and forestalled a great wardebt. Duncan Lauds Ralston. Judge Duncan praised the record of the Ralston administration. He said the Democratic legislature of 1913 had enacted more progressive legislation than any other assemblies in a decade. He cited as the principal achievements of the last legislature the vocational education law, which he said was the most important accomplishment in Indiana since the civil war. He said the people of Indiana should be proud of the 1913 legislature and Governor Ralston for their "courage in giving this state such a law." The last legislature also passed the public service commission law, he said. This has already saved the people of the state thousands of dollars and has ended the war between the people and the public service corporations. This law in Richmond, he said, had saved $10,000 annually in water bills, bene- ! fiting 1,500 small consumers. was in operation the loss by fires totalled $6,000,000, which showed the importance of checking this great evil. The fire marshal's office was maintained at the expense of the insurance companies, he said. The last great achievement of the last legislature, Judge Duncan said, was the housing law, which requires that no places which are not fit for habitation shall be erected in this state. Ralston Honors Morton. Governor Ralston in his address first lauded the old soldiers and the memory of his "distinguished predecessor, Oliver P. Morton, of Wayne county." He said the state and national administrations have made good in every respect. "There have been some things said about my administration which would be hard to bear if they had not been mild in comparison to what these critics, the Republicans and Progressives, have been saying about each other," remarked the governor. "They have been bedfellows and know each Steele, Otis Adams, Julia Graydon Sharpe, Wayne Adams and some others who should be seen to make the exhibition entirely representative. -Copy-

SUFFRAGET URGES MILITANT CRUSADE

V C55-w Christobel Pankhurst, the daughter of the renowned English militant Mrs. Pankhurst, who, oh her return from her exile in France, took the opportunity to attempt to "rouse the spirit of militancy in' the men of England" and to exhort them to volunteer. "Women in England today has had the most recent experiences of warfare," she said in an interview," and it is her duty to urge idlers to take their part in the war now being fought for the very existence of the Empire. We militants have gladly laid aside our particular quarrel because on the safety of England rests our chances of ultimate success in our struggle. Were we subjected to German it would be many years before we could even present our question to the state." other well, so I believe what they say about each other. One thing I am glad of, I have never been under the covers witn either of them.' The governor then defined a Republican as a standpatter who could not get started and a Progressive one who could not be stopped after he got started, which fact the Republicans had learned to their sorrow, he remarked. Wants Complete Victory. Mr. Ralston then said he could prove by Republicans that they would much prefer a Democratic administration to a Progressive one, while he said he could prove by the Progressives that they would prefer a Democratic administration to a Republican one. "Democrats admit that they can give the best administration,. so lets make it unanimous," added the governor. The governor said that his party had not declared itself in favor of a constitutional convention nor against it. He said the Democratic party had merely provided a method for the holding of such a convention if the people wanted one to be held. He told of the efforts of James Goodrich, a Republican leader and wealthy grain elevator man, to frighten the farmers with Argentine corn, brought to this country under the low corn tariff. A carload of this corn, he said, had been sent from one Goodrich elevator to another and shown to the farmers. The farmers were told that this cheap corn was going to ruin their business but that the argument was knocked into a cocked hat by American corn advancing in price to 85 cents a bushel. The governor concluded by paying a tribute to his private secretary, B. B. Johnson, of this city. WOMEN PLAY CARDS IN FUNERAL PARLOR BY LEASED WIRE.l CHICAGO, Oct. 26.

Would Richmond people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were not reliable? Would thev confirm their statements after vears have elapsed if their experiences did not show the remedy to be deserving of it? Statements like the following must carry conviction to the mind of every reader: Mrs. Henry Brokamp, 62 Sherman St., Richmond, says: "We have used Doan's Kidney Pills with fine results. I am glad to confirm our former public endorsement of them. This remedy has been used for backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and has never failed to give relief in a short time." Mrs. Brokamp is only one of many Richmond people who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back aches if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedv ask distinctly for Doan's Kidnev Pills, the same that Mrs. Brokamp j had the remedy backed by home testimony. 50c all stores.

CINCINNATI ENQUIRER SAYS GRAY CANNOT BE ELECTED UNLESS PROGRESSIVES MAKE INROADS IN THE REPUBLICAN VOTES. THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER of Sunday, October 25. presents to its readers an impartial forecast of the political situation in Indiana and in the Sixth district. This paper is owned br John R. McLean, a great Democrat " The Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday in its political forecast in Indiana says: "In the Sixth district there is a strong movement behind P. J. Lvnch. Republican. This district is normallv Republican by 5,000. The Progressives have been strong In Wayne and other counties in the Sixth district. Representative Gray of Connersville, Democrat, who represents the district, is not strong with his party or with the people: Russell, a professor at Earlham college, is the Progressive nominee, is making an active campaign. Gray cannot be elected unless Russell makes big in-roads on the Republican vote. "The Republicans stand a fair chance of carrying the First. Sixth and Tenth districts, and an outside chance of winning the Second, Fifth. Seventh and Ninth." It is generally conceded that in th Sixth congressional district the Progressives will not hold 40rr of their vote of 1912. In the congressional race of 1912 William L. Risk. Republican candiate for congress, received in tb Sixth district. 11.352 votes; Jensen, the Progressive candidate, received 10,797 votes, and of this number 4.207 were in Wayne county. Those in clos touch with the political situation in Wayne county, predict that 2.000 of the 4.000 votes given the Progressive candidate in 1912 will vote the Republican ticket in November. It is not generally known that the Progressiva nominee for congress in the Sixth district ran third in the race of 1912. There are now those who predict that the Progressive vote for congressman will be less in the district outside of Wayne county than the number received in Wayne county. THE RACE FOR CONGRESSMAN IN THt; P1VTU DISTRICT HAS NARROWED DOWN TO A RACE BETWEEN FINLY GRAY, DEMOCRAT. AND P. J. LYNCH, REPUBLICAN. Two years ago the total Republican vote cast for candidates for congress in Indiana was 166.698. ProgresslTe 131.041. These votes show conclusively that the Progressive party ran third in the matter of its candidates for congress in 1912. While Albert J. Beveridge. Progressive nominee for United States senator, is popular and is making a vigorous campaign, it is not believed by careful and unprejudiced observers that he will be nearly as strong as he was two years ago. While the voters of Indiana have a direct vote for the United States senators, Mr. Beveridge when a candidate for the governorship two years ago. received the direct : vote of the people, it is not supposed that he will gain any because of the fact that we have senators elected by( the direct vote of the people. THE BIG ISSUE IN THIS CAMPAIGN IS THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM: BUSINESS MEN WHOSE BUSINESS HOUSES ARE CLOSED AND FACTORY MFN WHOSE JOBS ARE GONE ARE RALLYING TO THE SUPPDRT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
