GREAT BATTLE RAGES
ON EASTERN FRONT
LONDON, Oct. 10.—Practically all
belligerents are again watching the
terrible battle that is raging now in
Volhynia between Brussiloff and the
Teutons. This' is by far the great
est battle of the campaign, raging
along a whole hundred miles from
the Pripet to the Zelota Lipa in Ga
licia with but little interruption.
The Germans have' reinforced the
Austrian forces wherever possible
and Hindenberg arrived from Berlin
yesterday to assist in the resistance
to the Russians.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 10.—The day’s
developments in the great battle
which is continuing in Volhynla
with the both sides attacking and
counter attacking were unmportant.
It is not concealed here that the
further forward movement of the
Russian forces this year depen&s
upon the outcome o’f the battle now
raging.
There is no possibility of the bat
tle ending in a deadlock as both
sides have thrown forward practi
cally all their reserves.
West of Lutsk on the Bug the
fighting was very severe today, but |
the main effort Is however right on
the border of Galicia some eight
miles north and west of Brody. The
Teuton concentration is there parti
cularly strong in answer to'the
heavy Russian artillery work that
prevailed for the past two days in
this section. The reason for this
concentration has been for the de
fense of Lemberg which will fall if
the Teutons have to fall back.

HUGHES REFUSES TALK
SUBMARINE QUESTION
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.—This
morning Charles Evans Hughes left
lor Baltimore where he speaks to
night in the armory where was held
the democratic convention in 1912
which nominated Wilson. He was
asked by newspaper interviewers
what he thought of the submarine
policy so close to American shores,
but the republican candidate being
cornered refused to dodge and in
stead told the reporters point blank
that he would not comment upon it
at all.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 10—Cum

he is as certain of Hughes victory
next November, even more certain

tin that the railroad men have sent
out on the subject.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—All efforts
to get an expression from Hughes
on his attitude on the submarine
question have been failures and the
democratic papers are congratulat
ing upon his diplomatic silence that
is not likely to disturb the German
vote.
GREW TELLS STORY
OF SINKING STEAMER
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—The crew
which arrived today graphically de
scribed the submarining of the
Strathdene on Sunday by the U 53
which they described as a particu
larly speedy boat.
The Strathdene’s crew were given
ten minutes in which to disembark
after they had been stopped by a
shot across the bows from the U
boat.
The Strathdene was under full
headway for Bourdeaux and had
passed the Nantucket shoals when
the U boat sent its signal to stop.
Another order gave them ten mi
nutes to get out of the boat into the
lifeboats and no time was lost in do
ing so. The German commander
first ascertained their identity and
destination before announcing their
fate. He declared to the captain
that he and his' men ought to have
no trouble reaching shore immedi
ately. The submarine then ran over
to^where'they had halted the steam
er Knudsen which was mined by the
U boat. The latter then raced back
and torpedoed the Strathdene, (liv
ing almost immediately afterwards.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—The Greek
steamer Patris arrived here today
and reported being stopped twice on
Monday by a German submarine.
When the name and destination ot
the steamer was learned the subma
rine allowed the Patris to proceed.
As far as is reported this evening
no steamers have been sunk today.
The Patris reported hearing many
shots exchanged shortly after the
submarine was passed the second
time.

ONE RAILROAD KING
SAYS HE’S FOR WILSON
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—President
Lovett of the Southern Pacific today
made one of the most important po
litical announcements that any rail-1
road king has made on the present
political situation, and the most ex
traordinary part of it is, it is all in
favor of Wodrow Wilson.
Lovett’s declaration was that he
wanted to say that he had no use
whatever for the President’s action
in the railroad eight hour difficulty
LOCAL ITEMS.
Relevant, material and competent
testimony to the progress of Dime
creek is to be found not only in the
huge shipments of beer and whiskey
which were sent on board craft for
that camp yesterday, but also in the
more important mining material In
the shape of hoist, rails, boiler etc.
which are being taken down to the
Koyuk camp. ThuB Lars Gunderson

Yesterday In the District Court
the case of The United States
versus Jessup was called. The de
fendant who is a native of intelli
gent appearance is being defended
by Hugh O’Neill. The Jury was se
cured at about 2:40 p. m. and the
government had a number of wit
nesses called. Harry Phillips was
in the stand for the government
when the court adjourned yester
day afternoon for the day. The case
is concerned with the raid on Chin
Ben’s Cash Register in the Boston
Laundry.
when he believed he sacrificed too
much to avoid an industrial crisis
by reason of a railroad strike, but
he could not help observing that
Wilson had accomplished more and
really great achievements than most
presidents. He declared that he had
settled the currency question effect
ually and ably. The currency bill
which had been opposed by leading
bankers and now realized as a most
important piece of legislative fore
sight and able political economy.
But for Wilson’s foreign policy Lo
vett said he could have nothing but
whole-hearted admiration. "I be
lieve the time will come when citi
zens of this country will realize that
it is the most brilliant page in all
American history”. He said it was
so silly to hear criticisms of this
great policy which had preserved
the country at peace when every
day and every hour threatened to
drag us into the vortex of war with
all its attendent horrors. He could
not permit himself to believe that
any really great and capable man
would dare within reason to con
demn this brilliant achievement.
Lovett said that for these reasons
he was with Wilson first, last and
all the time. He towered above his
opponents as a California redwood
towered above the scrub timber of
a clearing.
Lovett’s remarks have created an
enormous sensation.

could not imagine what good pur
pose was served by publishing such
statements which had no ground
work in fact.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Because
Theodore Roosevelt in hsi yesterday’s
address bitterly arraigned the Ger
man submarine tactics and said that
the United States government was
facing a deliberate violation of Ger
many’s solmen pledge to this coun
try, that strenuous action should he
taken, Chairman M’Cormick of the
Democratic National Committee said
that Roosevelt was determinedly at
tempting to embroil the United
States in war. He had done his
level best while on the border to ln
llanle ’i’ war spirit in outrageous
fashion, and now was doing the
same thing with regard to the Eu
ropean situation. While it was not

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 10.—While
there is no visible difference in the
sailing of steamers or other vessel
for the Atlantic trade, the compa
