'I •''' - V ; A ATUTIIl FIND 7KEPA1ATI0NS m iEUAN IETREAT. VEUDH IECISIVE POINT .'0' Fatare RcralU In Frnac«, According to Experts on Both Sides, Hinge Upon Oat come of Crown Prince's Attack on French Fortifications— Berlin Admits Retreat. It was generally anticipated Tues day that an attempt to stem the tide of their rapid retreat would be made by the Germans after the allies had compelled them to retire defeated from the great field of battle to the east of Paris, where they had fought stubbornly for seven days and suf fered enormous losses. It has been revealed that British and French aviators ran great risks following the netrograde movements of the German army, but succeeded in gathering the information that the Germans had erected field works at various places along the northern plateau beyond Rheims. These works were Intended for use by the Ger mans in the event of meeting super ior forces and being obliged to retire and reform It is understood they left several corps on their western wing and on their center with the desperate task of holding these lines so as to pre vent their pursuers from harassing the bulk of the German army, which in the meantime, was making quick ly for the frontier. Many detached parties of German . troops have been captured wander ing about the woods, where they found themselves with little ammu nltlon and no food supplies and de serted by their comrades, who were making forced marches. There has been no cessation in the preparation at Paris for defense. Al though the Germans now are con siderable distance away and the like lihood of their return is regarded as remote, thousands of men are being enrolled dally for the formation of new forces and to AH the gaps in tbe ranks of the armies which have been in the field since the beginning of tbe war. Some military critics are of the opinion that the stand now being made by the Germans along the River Alsne is the beginning of a new battle which may develop Into a combat almost if not quite as impor tant as that on the Marne. It is pointed out, however, that tbe strug gle must be on a frontal from tbe German side, while the allies occupy positions from which an enveloping movement can be affected. The strength of the respective forces engaged, although kept secret, is believed to be almost equal. It is argued, however, that the allies pos sess the advantage of prestige, which uts been increased since they repuls ed the Germans on the east of Paris. The allies also command the rail roads which enable them to bring up reinforcements. This the Germans are not in a position to do, it is thought, owing to the activity of the Belgians in keeping several German army corps engaged since taking the offensive from Antwerp. v For one the miltary critics of both sides agree that the outcome of the campaign in eastern France depends on the result of the operations of the crown prince’s army before Verdun; but on the question of accomplished facts the divergence of opinion is as wide as ever. Berlin maintains that the invest ment of Verdun is now complete, and therefore expects that within two or three days there will be a resumption of offensive along tire whole Orman front. On the other hand, the latest official communication issued on be half of the allies states that the crown prince has-been driven back and has moved his headquarters from Sainte Menehould, south of Rheims, to Mont Faucon, about fif teen miles northeast Berlin admits that the weakened German right has been turned back, but discounts the reverse by main taining that it will have no effect on the generaFforward movement to be initated, when Verdun falls. Qn all sides it is agreed that the battle of the Marne has about come to an end, and although the allied armies are keeping in touch with the retreating Germans it is evident the latter are taking up positions to stay the northward advance of the British and French. Although the Germans have been punished badly in their long retreat and have lost many guns and men, they maintain cohesion and, unless tbe French succeed in their attempt to get between the army of the crown prince and those operating 27 PASSENGERS DROWN TRAIN RUNS INTO CLOITiBl'R8T FALLING INTO STREAM. .A While Creeping Along Slowly Engine Creeps Over Sagging Track, Which Gives Away. -v Twenty-seven persons were drown ed early Tuesday when a St. Louis A San Francisco westbound passenger train plunged into a bloudburst two miles west Lebanon, Mo., and two passenger cars toppled into a gully swollen with water. Eighteen per sons were injured, but none serious ly. 1 For several hours the train had been going caretully as the engineer feared the heavy rains had weakened the track. Just as the locomotive hit a curve marking the edge of a ravine, the engineer saw a wall of water ahead. Though going only 15 miles an hour the train could not be sloped. Tbe 12-foot embankment on which the track crossed the ravine had been swept away by the rush of water. The locomotive crossed the sag ging track, but the chair car and smoking car rolled over in the tor rent. The locomotive and the mail and baggage cars, forced by momen turn across the ravine, finally left the rails and toppled partly over tbe structure three feet under water The fireman was crushed to death but the engineer escaped injury. The four sleeping cars remained on the track, behind the stream. The chair car and the smoking car sank deep in the rushing water. Many of the occupants were drowned while they slept- Others climbed through the windows and swam to safety. Miss Nona Campbell of St. Louis a nurse, climbed to the upturned side of the chair car and rescued five imprisoned passengers by pulling them through the windows. Passen gers in the sleeping cars, roused by the shock, went to the rescue of those who had not drowned imme diately. Several passengers were pulled from the water exhausted! n ms spiked • » i REPUBLICANS WILL ISSUE HI CAMPAIGN 1001. THEY HAVE NO ISSUE BI LL GORES TWO.

These acts, the Washington governnvent Rcpbullcan Senators and CongreNS- r * men Having Helped to Pass Demo cratic BUI, They Can’t Protest Against the New Laws Passed by tS Their Political Opponent*. A dispatch from Washington to The New York World says for the first time in many years the Repub licans will not issue a campaign book. The National Republican Con gressional Committee lias decided that it would be money wasted to prepare and print such a book as the facts would justify. Therefore, the standpatters back hotne will not be told in handsome printed form what their " congressmen have been doing in Washington. - V Democrats say that there is a rea son for the lack of a Republican cam paign book this year. They say that the Republicans have no issue, for many of their leading men voted for Democratic measures enacted into law. The Democratic campaign workers point with pride to the following rec ord: The Underwood-Simmons tariff bill passed the House May 8, 1913, by a vote of 281 to 139, supported by three Republicans, three Bull Moosers and one Independent; by the Senate September 9, 44 to 37, one Republican and one Bull Moose vot ing for it. it. The tariff bill of the Democrats became a law by the aid of v Republi can and Bull Moose congressment, making it a non-partisan law. The Republican committee can not con sistently make an issue on the tariff when four of their men voted with the Democrats. The Federal Reserve act, one of the most popular of the Democratic administration measures, was sup ported in the House by thirty-five Republicans and fourteen Bull Moos ers, and in the Senate by tiiree Re publicans and one Bull Moose. There is no campaign thunder in that rec ord for the Republican Congressional Committee. The Trade Commission bill passed the House by acclamation and twelve Republicans voted for it in the Senate. Forty-one Republicans and fifteen Bull Moosers in the House, seven Re publicans and one Bull Moose in the Senate, supported the Clayton anti- Trust bill. Eighty Republicans and fourteen Bull Moosers in the House voted for the Rayburn Railway Securities bill; the Senate has not yet acted on that measure. The .Lever Agricultural Extension act and the Industrial Employees' Arbitration act were passed without dissenting vote by the House and Senate. Seventy Republicans and fourteen Bull Moosers in the House and twen ty-four Republicans and one Bull Moosa in the Senate supported the Mexican war resolution. The European war emergency leg islation was enacted by Democrats and Republicans. While the Republican Campaign Committee hesitates to reveal qigh printed booklet Rs^ record in theSvqjate and House since Presi dent Wilson' ckme into power,, the Democratic campaigners are telling the world how President Wilson was aided in his fight for betler^tariff. currency and trifist laws by s ich 'Re^ publicans as Senator's La Follette ot Wisconsin and Poindexter pf Wash ington, Norris of Nebraska, Weeks of Massachusetts, Clapp cf Minne- sota, Cummins of Iowa, Gronna vrT North Dakota. Kenyon of Iowa, Ster ling of South Dakota. Borah of Idaho and .lone* of Washington, and Repre sentatives Cooper and John J. Each of Wisconsin, Henry T. Helgesen of North Dakota and scores of others. The Republicans are without an issue. Col. Roosevelt and his party are more at sea than the Republi cans. in order to get a start the Colonel had to go to Louisiana and see his old Bull Moose friend, John M. Parker. On the other hand, the Democrats are proclaiming to the country the story of their record at the White House and in Congress. “Every measure of legislation pro posed by Woodrow Wilson since he became President and enacted into law has received the votes of Repub licans and Bull Moosers as well as Democrats in both the Senate and House,” says a statement issued by the Democratic Campaign Commit tee. “No other president in the en tire history of the nation has made such a rfecord. One of the Ships Was Crushed But ' 'v" ■ ,f " ' .. ■,/ • Part of Crew Reached Shelter After Many Hardships. Twelve members of the Stefansson Antarctic expedition have perished, it .was learned tyonday when the United States revenue cutter Bear arrived at Nome, Alaska, with' T1 survivors of the exploration ship Karluk’s crew rescued from Wran gell Island by the gasoline schooner King and Winge and transferred to the Bear 75 miles .from Wrangell Island. .» Tbe Karluck was crushed in the ice last January and part of the crew after incredible hardships and perils, reached Wrangell Island,. SO miles distance on March 12 with 79 days’ rations. These were exhausted about June 4. Death by starvation and cold was ever near the castaways until September 6, when the rescue ship arrived.. The King and Winge after leaving Nome September 3 went to East Cape, Siberia, to take on Eskimos and skin boats. She then laid her course for Rogers Harbor, Wrangell Island, arriving there about 1:30 o'clock on the night of September 6. Four Eskimos in a skin boat found a lead through the ice, reached shore and brought back a number of men who had been in camp near shore. The schooner -then proceeded to the other side of the Island, where it picked up the remaining survivors who were in another camp. The King and Winge started for Nome with the rescued and had gone 75 miles when she met the revenue cutter Bear,- to which the survivors were transferred. With them was brought a cat picked up by the Kar luk’s crew at Victoria, B. C., last yean'and kejjt with them through out all their hardships Counting the eight men who per ished on the ice while trying to reach land after the Karluk was crushed the three who died on Wrangell Is land, and Andrew Norman of the Anderson party, who committed sui cide by shooting while insane from exposure. Twelve men of the Stef ansson expesition have died. Mal- loch and Bretty, who died of scurvy, and Manien,. who accidentally shot himself, were buried on Wrangell Island. After the accident to the Karluck last January, when the ship was crushed in the ice north of Herald Island, her party remained in camp on ice until they had agreed that the best course was to make for Wrangell Island. They divided into parties and set out. The party led by Dr. Forbes-Mackay, changed its mind and headed for the Siberian shore. It repented and was seen to lay* its course again for Wrangell Island. , Four days later, in the third week of February, a terrible blizzard rag ed w hich opened the ice in all direc tions and churned it. There was no hope that any of the eight escaped the storm, but to ease their minds the survivors on Wrangell Island made journeys in ail directions, even to Herald Island, in search of the eight lost men. After their rations were exhausted the castaways subsisted on whatever food they were able to gather. They killed three Polar bears apd many seals and birds.
