NEW RUSSIAN ARMY MARCHING
PETROGRAD, Oct. 3.—The new Russian army is
now marching to the front and will be thrown against the
enemy within a few days. The Russian troops have again
crossed the German frontier at Czestochowa and other
points in Russian Poland. It is now admitted that they
were repulsed from German territory before but the of
ficial statement is to the effect that they were not at that
time prepared for a forward movement. The Germans
also invaded Russian territory across the East Prussian
frontier and proceeded into the Suwalki district but they
are now retreating back to Germany.
GREAT BATTLE AT CRACOW
LONDON, Oct. 3.—The war reports from t'le eastern
area inis afternoon are conflicting but a tremendous bat
tle is undoubtedly raging at Cracow where a vast Rus
sian army is attacking immense forces of Austrians and
Germans. Some of the reports are that the Russians have
been defeated and that the allied Teutons are pursuing
them, while other reports say that the victory is with the
soldiers of the czar, fhe conflict, all agree, is one of most
momentous consequence and on its result may depend a
tremendous amount. Millions of men are said by some re
ports to be engaged but the general belief is that this re
port is an exaggeration. The Austrians are said to have
re-organized with wouderful swiftness after their former
defeats and are now presenting a solid front while they
are re-inforced with great forces of German veterans.
REPORT ANOTHER ITALIAN SHIP SUNK
VENICE, Oct. 3.—It is reported that another Italian
boat has been sunk by an Austrian mine with fifty people
and the feeling against the Austrians is reaching the boil
ing point. This occurrence is said to have taken place near
Trieste, a city which has a majority of Italian residents
although it is now in Austrian territory. Water traffic
between Italy and Austria is now entirely suspended ow
ing to the frequency of the mine explosions.
U. S. TO REDUCE SALARIES
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.—That all the government
officials of the United States receiving more than fifteen
hundred dollars a year may have to undergo a reduction
of salaries is now a possibility arising from a proposal
made by Senator \ > fhe senate committee on
finance. The proposal was made today while the demo
crats of the committee were considering the war revenue
bill and it is said to have been favorably received. It has
been shown that the reduction need not be much in each
case to make a saving of so large an amount that the coun
try need not be taxed to anything like the same figure
which lias been feared. The committee has raised the tax
on pawn brokers to fifty dollars a year and already a
strong protest is being made by thousands of Hebrew
merchants in this city. The committee has also imposed
an additional tax on commission merchants of twenty
dollars a year.
ANTWERP TELLS ABOUT IT
Antwerp, Oct. 3.—The Germans are continuing the
bombardment of this city but the commanders of the dif
ferent forts report that the forts have not been damaged
by the guns of the enemy. All the German assaults have
been driven back and there is apparently no change in the
general condition. The forts of the outer circle are sev
: eral miles from the city proper so that the shells of the
enemy are not yet dropping in the streets. Should these
outerforts fall, however, Antwerp will meet its real trial.
The King is still in the city and taking part in the work
of defense. He and the troops are determined to make a
stand that will even eclipse the heroic defense of Liege.
GERMANS SHELL JAPANESE
TOKIO, Oct. 3.—It is officially reported that another
Japanese mine laying ship has been sunk by a German
mine in the harbor of Kiauchau. Four of the crew were
killed outright by the explosion but none were wounded.
T1 • German forts and ships are now shelling the Japanese
army but the effect is not told although it is figured out
that*the Japanese would hardly be likely to keep its main
forces in range of the hostile guns. The army is slowly
preparing for a grand assault on the Tsingtau fortifica
tions and a tremendous conflict may be looked for. The
Germans are determined to fight to the bitter end al
though they must know that the taking of the place is only
a matter of time. The Japanese forces are overwhelming
ly superior but the forts are strong and the magnificent
! lighting qualities of the Germans are fully recognized by
; the war department of this government.

STILL BOMBARDING ANTWERP
PARIS, Oct. 3.—In the Belgian field the Germans are
still bombarding the city of Antwerp. The chief bombard
ment is being carried out in front of and to the south
! east of the Place D’Anvers but, according to the official
accounts, this bombardment is having not much effect on
any of the works of defense. The enemy has also made
many infantry attacks but all of them have been repulsed

ABOUT PROHIBITION
PORTLAND, Oct. 3.—Theodore
Roosevelt has sent a vigorous denial
of the statement attributed to him
that he had declared against state
made prohibition. He says that he
was not only misquoted but that there
was evident the intent to hurt him by
misrepresenting him.

with heavy losses and the Germans have made hardly any
progress. It is estimated that the besieging force can
hardly be less than a quarter of a million men so that the
holding out of the city means the waste of an immense
army which otherwise might be used against the allies in
the battle in this country.
i ARRESTED ON SERIOUS
CHARGE NEAR CORDOVA
i A man named Papas has been ar
rested at Mile M on the Copper River j
railroad on the charge of assaulting
another man with a dangerous weap
on. The occurrence for which this
man has been taken into custody is
not known to the officials here and
the news of the arrest came to Mar-.
shal Brenneman by telegram. From
other sources it has been learned that
the assualted party was dragged in
to the brush and all the circumstances
taken together have given rise to the
rumor that the man arrested is su
spected of the recent murders which
took place on the trail to Fairbanks. ^
LADIES GIVE MOOSE
A PLEASANT SURPRISE
Music, Delicacies, Singing, Dancing
Everything Else
Enjoyed
The lady friends of the Moose ofj
Seward surprised the lodge last even
ing in a most pleasant manner. The,
meeting had hardly been ended when ■
Banjo Bill appeared on the scene and
began to play. Then came an aval
anche of ladies through the open doorJ
each of them carrying something
good. The coming was a big surprise
but the Moose soon got used to it and
after a while there was singing and
dancing and eating and a good time
generally. The refreshments were
fine enough to be called a banquet.
One of the cakes had the famous
“Howdy Pap” of the order in sweets.
It was made by Mrs. Caldwell, wife
of the Seargeant at arms.
The little A. B. hall was crowded, and
everyone appeared to be having the
time of their lives. The affair was '
so pleasant that the Moose are now J
certain that a Ladies* Auxiliary will
be the next thine' started.
