A Complete Victory. How complete was the victory of Tuesday (October 24th) may be gathered from the capture by the French of "fé1 unwounded German battalion commanders of the 7th Prussian. Grenadiers, 108 other of- ficers, 500 non-commissioned officers, 4.600 men and more than 100 ma- chine guns. 4 Thirty-one German battalions from nineteen différent regions occupied the front line when the battle open- ed. At the end oll these had been destroyed or captured at a loss to the French of casualties anfounting to only about one-third the total number of prisoners. Douaumont itself suffered more from the French than the German ar- tillery, three great shells from a French gun having struck in precise- ly the same spot. The honors of the capture fell to the colonial infantry from Morocco. The rapid French advance and the victorious attack over ground such as surrounds Douaumont is one of the wonders of the recent battle. Mud anywhere else on the- front is just mud, Here it is the strongest glue. Trenches and other methods of defence and approach are non-ex- istent. The only shelters for the troops are deep shell holes in the gluey mud. Still, the five miles of advancing French infantrymen traversed the ground up the slopes almost as on parade. Searcely a rifie shot was fired during the battle, which was won by the big guns and bayonets: A French aeroplane preceded the in- fantry at an altitude of only 120 feet and kept the general in command in- formed by wireless of every phase of the struggle and emerged from the battle unscathed.

LIVING Ex-President Taft Attacks Re- cord of President Wilson's Administration. (Special to the Whig.) Marshall Mich., Oct. 30.--Spread- ing out the whole Administration record here to-day, ex-President Taft preached that America's present prosperity is evanescent, attacked the Adamson eight-hour bill, the President's foreign policy and his domestic course. He declared that the nation now is "living in a fool's paradise," and that prosperity must vafiish after the European war, when the warriors again become workers. Declaring Mr. Wilson's policy in Mexico should defeat him for the Residency, Mr. Taft attacked the Administration's foreign policy in general, adding: "The proneness of the Administration to write a note well and appropriately phrased and to deem the incident closed has ex- posed the nation to ridicule." 1,500 MORE SOLDIERS RETURNING TO CANADA 1,200 of Them are Sufferers From Rheumatism Con- tracted in Trenches.

Appearing in Some Américan Papers ~--Impossible to Conceive of Ameri- can Being Involved in Such<an En- terprise, Washington, Oct. 30.--S8ecrétary of War Baker left Wilmington, O,, last night to! continue his campaign speaking without revealing either the sources or the exact nature of the information which impelled the "War Department to issue a statement saying it had knowledge that an at- tack on the border or on American troops in Mexico was being planned by enemies of the administration's policy toward Mexico. It was learned, however; that the suspicion was aroused here some days ago and that reports of an al- leged raid conspiracy appearing in certain American newsp were transmitted to the border for in- vestigation. Agents of the Depart- ment of "Justice ana of the treasury are supposed to have made the in- quiry, although there are Intima- tions that Gen. Funston also was ad- vised. 4 Reports reaching Washington led the War Secretary to confer with Secretary Lansing at the te De- partment and issue the sta nt. Not Aimed at Americans. Suggestions that the statement was s0 worded as virtually to charge American political opponents of the administration with congpiring with the bandits led both Secretary Baker and Secretary Lansing to reiterate the latter's statement that was no intention,to do such a thing. Both said it was fupomible that any Am- erican could be involved in Such an enterprise, and that Mex now in the United States were ible | for the plot, wishing to embroil the United States and Mexico to the end that the de facto government might be overthrown. = : In declining to make public the ; 4 is in « battle. with total ie Austro-German invasion' Mackensens purshit of the retreat s of el rv sich mies he Te, ibd ob de bddeb bbb diivb dbp GREECE TO ENTER WAR, BUT DATE UNCERTAIN General Opinion in Athens En- tente Circles Is That She Cannot Stay Out.
