That he had faced German soldiers

state*--'nt made recently by Lieuten

tured ra the bottle front- They are
great long things. s-nothing like Uv.s
sias knouts. and the Silesian whips.
Made of leather, they are plaited like
-nes's hair sm-i parted at the end,
eftimos with pieces ,.f ktii or steel.
-■At the battle of the Marne, I saw
the German officers whip their men
from the trenches to ekarge os. I
saw the writs on tie shoulders of pris
ners and of dead men. German prts
aers have told me of being whipped
into battle.
_“One day our regimemt captured

‘■That's the spirit of the Genrea

■ * The world most r't expect great

I ss state fr m jemmsl knowledge

World Is Mistaken
Says Correspondent
Germans Are Not Driving
Slavs Before Them
THE RUSSIANS ARE HOLDING
THE DVINSK FRONT
LONDON, Sept. 25—The Times to
day publishes the following dispatch
trow a correspondent with the Russian
forces sent on Saturday from
Dvinsk;
”1 spent three days on this front
where a terrific battle was raging al
most unceasingly. When attack* die
away at one place they begin instant
at another. The nearest front is
only 12 miles from Dvinsk, whose de
serted streets resound with the deten
tions of the heavy gunfire.
“The Russians are holding the
Dvinsk front in an excellent line of
trenches three deep and despite con
stant fierce attacks supported by cou
> on t rat ions of heavy artillery, have
held the enemy off. Many times the
first line has been taken by the
enemy, then re-taken by our counter
attaeks. The Germans are twice or
■ '.rice onr strength and have enor
mous superiority in guns as always,
but hitherto they have gained no de
cisive advantages, each of their at
tempts being paid for with heavy loss
of life.
Fight in Determined Manner
*"I find the morale of the Russians
unimpaired. They are fighting in the
same sutbborn determined manner,
while the situation 'as regards the
supply of ammunition and rifles is
materially improved and the fate of
Dvinsk and the whole line along the
Dvina river is undecided.
“The capture of the city will be
effected only by heavy sacrifices. In
the meantime the town has been evac
uated in the same orderly manner
seen at Warsaw and if thy Russians
ultimately leave the Gormans will oc
cupy the same empty shell as in their
former victories.
• ■ The nature of the country 1«
ideal for defense and undoubtedly the
Germans are paying two to one in
loss. It is not apparent why the
Germans attach so much importance to
this section, but if they are willing
to pay the price, they possibly can
take it.
Russian Defense Improves
"‘A large portion of the popula
tion of Dvinsk has fled. The evacua
tion was started by the German habit
of dropping bombs, which killed many
civilians.
“The character of the Russian de
fense is improving every week and if
the outside world thinks the Germans
arc driving this army before them it
makes a gross mistake. If the Riga
and Dvinsk sectors are typical of the
Russian rear guard operations, their
nature is snch as should cause more
depression among the Germans than
among the Russians and with winter
approaching and no important objec
tive attainable before the season
changes, I believe the German com
manders must now recognize a g- wr
ing anxiety.”
HEAVY ARTILLERY
BUTTERS LINE
Severe l ighting Reported
Between Rival Forces
Germans’ Brave Stand
ALLIES MASSING TROOPS
TO TAKE SECOND LINE
LONDON, Sept. 2S—The breaking
of the enemy's first line of battle
in the Champagne region has created
an impetus to attempt the second line.
The evidence of this lies in the fact
that heavy artillery is now battering
the second line with an apparent de
termination to win, although it Is
said that the enemy is equally determ
ined to stand its ground.
North of Champagne, the British
report their ability to hold their
many trenches have succeeded in
crushing counter attacks effectively,
although they admit heavy loss.

COUNTER ATTACK CHECKED
LONDON. Sept. 2S—The expected
counter attack by the Germans on the
western front is reported to have
been safely repulsed. Both sides loos
ing heavily.

At The GRAND Tonight
Leah Baird comes to the Grand to
night in a two part mystery drama
in two reels, entitled, Out of the Far
Fast. The play tells of the story of
the mysterious disappearance of a
valuable ruby and she is given an
excellent opportunity to get in some
good sensational acting.
The Mask of Affliction is another
two reeler, classed as a melodrama,
and pictures the story of a Guardian
who seeks to gain possession of Ids
ward’s wealth by marrying her, but
she seeretely steals away to the Her
mit's cave where she meets her lov
er. In the course of events, the great
mine explosion occurs and her lover
is reported dead by her guardian, his
last hope of obtaining the fortune.
The old hermit takes a hand and ex
poses the tricks of the guardian and
the story is brought to a happy end.
The comedy that closes the show is
a Joker entitled, Lutie’s Lovers, but
after all there are no wedding bells
for Lutie. Wednesday and Thursday
nights we will show a Warner fen
ture in three parts entitled, In the
Clutches of the Klu Klux Klan. Adv.
