ST. LOUIS POST-DISPA1 DISPATCH. _ GERMAN TROOPS IN FR FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1914. NCE REPEATEDLY ADVAN ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. oF British Official Report_ ~ GERMANS SHOT BY THEIR OWN OFFIGERS FOR FALLING ‘BACK Eye Witness’ Story From Front Quotes Prisoner as Saying Soldiers Were Warned They Would Be Fired On From Behind If They Gave Way, and the Threat Was Carried Out When Losses Compelled Retirement. By Associated Press. LONDON, Nov. 6.—The Press Bureau today issued the following ac- count of events at the battle front as witnessed:and written by Col. E. D. Swinton, of the intelligence department of the general staff. The recital .is -dated Nov. 1 and says: “I*riday, Oct. 30: I have witnessed a renewal of thé efforts against our right which were without success to the ene- my. In the center the bombardment was heavy. Indeed, so many shells fell around our positions that telephone wires frequently were cut. “The attack in the direction of Ypres generally was renewed. Southeast of that town it was pressed in great force and in places our line again was forced back a short distance. But on our left the on-coming Germans were stopped by our entanglements under a close rifle fire and after two efforts to advance they gave way. Numbers Force British Back. “On Saturday, Oct, 31, a most deter- mined attack was made on our left and left wsnter, the pressure being especialiy severe against the latter portion of our position. Part of our line was driven back temporarily by the sheer weight of metal and numbers, but it was almost recovered before night. Against our center the enemy did not advance, while _ against our right they were not nearly _ $0 active as they were farther north. “So far, with the assistance of the French, who have been co-operating most effectually, we have succeeded in maintaining our line and retaining pos- xeasion of Ypres, upon the capture of which, by the end of October, the Ger- mans have set their heart. “As may have been gathered, the fight- ing of the last five days has been of the most desperate nature. It has been eminently a soldiers’ battle and with- out exaggeration or any undue self- congratulation it can be said that our men have behaved splendidly in the face of heavy odds and against the re- peated onslaughts of great masses which were continually replaced by fresh men and backed up by the almost continuous fire of immense guns. They have, by their dogged resistance, well upheld the reputation of our army. . “‘Heavy as have been our losses, wes have taken a far heavier toll from the enemy and we have prevented their gaining the object on which all their energies have been concentrated: And not only have our troops maintained their traditions, but our French allies have been fighting with all the dash for which they are famous. Judginz fram all accounts, they have made at Dixmude and along the Yser a name for themselves which will never die. The Belgian army, likewise, has resisted the furious onslaughts of the enemy with the utomst gallantry. | Two-Thirds Majority Is Required; Vote of Every Bridge Friend Is Needed HE necessity of every free !

Whether it ‘be due to patriotism or the fear in- duced by iron discipline, the fact re- mains that they have steadily pressed forward to what in many cases must obviously have been certain death. “That they are forced sometimes ty go on is shown by the following answer to an interrogation put to a wounded German prisoner: “‘T was enlisted in October of 1913. On mobilization, the weakly and those backward in training to the number of about 60 per cent of the company were form the nucleus of a reserve regiment which was completed by men from Baden and Wuerttemberg belonging to the second section of the landwehr. We recéived new gray uniforms. After 10 weeks of hard training, we traveled for three days and two nights, from Thur- ingia up to Aix-la-Chapelle, where we remained in reserve. We were told that our nearest enemies were the English. “‘On the seventeenth and eight- eenth of October we performed such fatiguing forced marches that many men fell out on the road. On.Oct. 19 we each received 285 rounds of am- munition and had our first taste of fire. Although we there were only sharpshooters in front of us, I saw French cavalrymen and no other foes. Germans Fired‘ on From Behind. “‘Hrom this day onward the fight- ing was uninterrupted. On Oct. 20 my section received orders to go for- ward to attack and our officers warned’us if we gave way fire would be opened on us from behind. This threat was carried into effect when the loss we suffered compelled us to retire. Indeed, it was by @ German bullet that I was wounded.

Work on the bridge stopped Sept. 12, 1913, when the city accepted the last section of con- struction on the western railroad approach terminating at Eighth gnd Gratiot streets. INTEREST CHARGES BEGAN WITH THE FIRST SALE OF BONDS °CT. 1, 1909, AND THE CITY MUST PAY $383.50 INTEREST DAILY ON THESE 4 PER CENT BONDS. Building of the bridge dates practically from the letting of a contract July 28, 1909, for the four river piers. A contract for the steel superstructure spanning the river, was let Nov. 16, 1909. The western highway and part of the western railroad approach mained , between the lines without food or care for two days, at the end of which time I dragged myself to a ruined ,house. During all this time German shells, which were short. were falling about my shelter, locat- ed a few hundred paces from the French lines. The French, having ad- vanced Oct. 24, I myself moved for- ward -and called out to a pushing patrol and surrendered. “‘ We have received no distribution of food since our arrival in France. The commandant of my company was a reserve Lieutenant, 28 years of age. The Colonel, whose name I do not know, also belonged to the reserves, as did all the other officers of the regi- ment. “ ‘The officers told us that if. we fell into the hands of the French we would be sent to the Foreign Legion and that Moroccans. “‘T saw only one man shot. He was a priest, who they said was a spy.’ “The results of the inundation to the north of Dixmude have been observed by our aviators, who have seen num- bers of the enemy collected in groups on the dikes which intersect the flooded area, where, according to report, some German heavy artillery is bogged. Our airmen also have been able to harass advancing hostile columns by bomb dropping and machine gun fire. “The tactical- transfer of troops be- hind the German front line is now car- ried out to a great extent by omnibuses. of which long lines are visible fro.a above. During the last few days large numbers of refugees have been strean’- ing back along all the roads from Bel- gium and crowding the empty trains re- turning from the front upon which the French have, most humanely, allowed them to travel. In these trains whole families may be seen jostled together in horse trucks and having with them what few household goods they have been able to carvy away. But the less for- tunate have to trudge the roads, mak- ing use of any shelter they can find. ‘The inhabitants of the distric without our zone of operations also line the roads from morning to night and listen to the sound of the guns, there being nothing else for them to do. As the dull road waxes wanes away or return and in such alternates of fear and hope is each weary day passed. All this traffic to and fro o' civilians entails the utmost vigilance in order to guard against espionage.” Another Story of Operations Told by an Eye Witness. The following descriptive account, com- municated by an eyewitness present with the general headquarters, continues and supplements the narratiye published Nov. 3 of the movements of the British force and of the French armies in imme- diate touch with it: “Nov. 1—In spite of the great losses which they suffered in their attacks last week the Germans have continued in their offensive toward the west al- most continuously during the five days from the 2th to the 3th of October. Opposite us it has gradually grown in intensity and in extent of application as more men and guns have been brought up and pushed into their right, and it has developed into the most bitterly con- tested battle which has been fought in the western theate. of the war.

IVE years, three months and eight days ago the Municipal Free Bridge was started and it stands ‘today unfinished, without an eastern approach; it is costing the city $490 a day. The bridge has cost taxpayers of St. Louis*$712,926.50 in interest on $3,500,000 of outstanding bonds for which they can have no return until the bridge we surely would be massacred by the] and ; so does their confidence die : OD EE oi Ne |but before us, and, though attempts to, was contracted for Aug. 16, 1911, and the completion of the west- ern railroad approach was pro vided for by contracts let Sept. 3, 1912. T North St. Louis was com- . menced in April, 1907, a year after the municipal bridge bonds were voted, and was com- pleted Oct. 1, 1910. To the unprofitable outiay on the bridge must be addea the cost of four bond issue elections, three of which have been held already. Three special elections costing approximately $70,000 each, and one submission at a general election costing about $5000 extra, adds $215,000 to the expense bill, making a total of $927,926.50 spent while the bridge stands idle IT HAS THERE- FORE/ COST THE CITY $490 PER DAY FOR- OVER FIVE YEARS IN INTEREST AND ELECTION CHARGES. The city has set aside, or is about to, $920,833 in a sinking fund with which in 20 years it will have retired the original bond issue. This fund draws only 2 per cent fnterest in city depositories and the meager earnings of this fund in five years do not lessen substantially the expense of paying interest on : the $3,500,000 bond issue. HE McKinley Bridge in hack, or rather to blast and hack, a way through us have been made in other di- rections, they have in tzrh last few days most seriously concentrated upon the neighborhood of Ypres. “On Monday, the 2th, south of the Lys on our right, the enemy attacked Neuvechappelle, one of the villages neld by us. In the evening, advancing un- der cover of a: wood, they managed to gain possession of a portion of it, north of the Lys. ° ‘In the center a bombardment alone was kept up and some ground was made by us. “On Tuesday, the 27th, the Germans focused their principal attention on our right center and right and most desper- ate fighting took place for the posses- sion of Neuvechappelle. “In spite of repeated counter attacks by our troops the enemy during the day managed to hold onto the northern part of the village, which he had gained the day before. : “Toward evening we had gradually re- gained part of the place step by step, when fresh hostile reinforcements were t | brought up and the entire village was | captured by the enenly. “They made several assaults against our whole front south of the Lys, but with the exception of their success at Neuvechappelle, won no advantage. The combat for that place, as is usually the case with village fighting, was of’ a most murderous description. It is be- lieved that the enemy’s losses in this quarter of the field generally were very great. An officer who was observing their advance reported that the effect of our rifle and gun fire on the Ger- mans was stupendous and that they. had to throw corpses of their own men out of their trenches as they came on in or- der to obtain cover. ‘Toward our left the readjustment of our line commenced on Monday was completed and some redistribution of strength was effected on the extreme left. The ground gained at Neuve- chappelle was again the scene of des- perate fighting on Wednesday, the 28th. Some of our Indian troops greatly dis- tinguished themselves by a _ well-con- ducted counter attack by which they drove the Germans out of the greater part of the place with the bayonet. On emerging from the Village, however, they were exposed to concentrated fire of machine guns and had to remain con- tented with what they had gained. “On the left during the morning the enemy made attacks under cover of the usual bombardment, but each effort was repulsed with great slaughter. One of our trenches was cartied and then re- La 1 Board of Livestock Commissioners. The lifted and the yards opened as soon QUARANTINE ORDER CLOSES EAST SIDE YARDS TOMORROW Operating Company Gets Instructions From State Board to Begin Disinfec- tion, Which, Officials Es- timate, Will Require Only About 4 Days. The National Stockyards, East St Louis, will be closed at 12 o’clock tonight and placed under a complete quarantine. C. T. Jones, president of the operating company, last night received an official communication to this effect from the State’ Board of Livestock Commission- ers. The yards will be closed until they are completely disinfected and the dan- ger of the spread of the foot-and-mouth disease averted. Jones thought the cleaning and disin- fecting of the yards would not require more than four days. Other persons familiar with the magnitude of the task saiii it would take 10 days. - Sheep sold 25 cents higher today. Prime lambs brought $9.25, as against $8.90 yesterdcy. Hogs ranged 5 cents higher. The top price today was $7.75, while the bulk sold between $7.4 and $/.65. The price of Southern cattle was also higher. The packers, Jones said, have 10,000 head‘ of cattle on hand and there were 10,000 in the yards. This supply, he said, would keep the packers busy until Wednesday. The cleaning and disinfecting is to be done under the direction of the State stockyards company, in addition to the 1000 men it employs regularly,» will em- ploy 400 more, so that the work can be pushed. Jones said ‘the quarantine will be as the cleaning and disinfecting is finished. “By Wednesday,” Jones said, “we expect to be ready to open again. The conditions here are nothing like thev are in Chicago. The disease has actu- ally appeared in Chicago. There has not been a case of it here. It is simply .a matter of cleaning up.” He said he did not believe there would be an appreciable increase in prices. If the yards and packing plants should be kept closed any length of time, about 10,000 employes would be affected. Man- agers of the different plants go not think, however, that it will be necessary io lay off any except, possibly, the men in the killing department, if the shut- down continues only a few days. S. B. Morse, general manager of Ar- mour & Co., said his company had enough cattle to keep the plant running until Monday night. It was probable, he said, that the plant would work Sun- day to finish up the stock on hand and facilitate the general cleaning up. The plant ordinarily handles 6900 animals 4 day. It would be necessary to lay off 2¥' men in the killing department if the shutdown continued. The office force would not be affected, he said. Swift Has Supplies Till Wednesday. F. H. Hunter, general manager of Swift & Co., said the company had enough stock to keep busy until Mon- day night. He was not able to say how many men might be laid off, but Some Precincts Nearly Unanimous for Bridge Bonds Continued From Page One. the Citizens’ Bridge Committee, cast bal- | lot No. 60 for the bonds in Precirict 6 Ward 23, at 7:30. Dan C. Nugent, a mem- ber of the committee, cast ballot 46 for the bonds in Precinct 7, Ward 1i, at 8 o’clock. No negative votes had been cast in either precinet at the time, it was reported. Election Clerk Again Fails to Appear at Polling Place. John Farley, Republican clerk in the Tenth Precinct, Sixteenth Ward, failed to appear at the polling place, 3400 Rut- ger street, this morning. He did the same thing Tuesday. A policeman went to Farley's home to investigate and was told Farley was not there. ..nother policeman received the same response when he inquired for the missing election official Tuesday. John Spellman of 3622 Caroline street, who was sworn in in Farley’s place Tiiesday, was not at home this morn- ing, so John Mullroney of 3216 Rutger street was selected as a substitute. covered after a loss of 30 dead had been inflicted on the enemy. Trench Mortar Introduced. “In the center little took place worthy of special record. A few Germans came in and surrendered voluntarily. “In this querter we experienced for the first time in the northern theater of the war the action of the Minenwer- fer, or trench motar. It has a range of some 500 to 600 yards and throws a bomb loaded with a bigh explosive weighing up to 0 pounds, being fired at an extreme elevation from the bot- tom of a pit in the trench. “The really important feature in th's day’s operations occurred north of the Lys and consisted of an onslaught in great force made in the morning tn the direction of Ypres. After a heavy can- nonade the assault was driven home and a portion of our front Ifthe was forced back. By evening the lost grounJ was recovered and in some places mor: than recovered, with the exception of one part to which the enemy clung. “Our losses were heavy, but not so severe as those of the enemy, who it one spot suffered enormously in the!} concentrated fire of our machine guns,”|| SM em le EES See OR A on ce 8 Oe BO CR Ge Be NE oo Re Ae Ae A AE EM E TO CERTAIN Disease Does Not Meat Eaters RXR. E. L. BERTRAM, in [) charge of the Bureau of Animal Industry at the National Stockyards, today said the chief danger to human be- ings is from the drinking of milk from the cows infected with the foot and mouth dis- ease. There are cases on record of children having become infected in this way. There is no record of any per- son having contracted the dis- ease from eating the meat of a diseased animal, although Dr. Bertram said it is possible that infection might occur in this way. No part of the earenss ee an animal infected with the disease is permitted to go to the pack- ers. Not even the hide is al- lowed to be marketed. The car- cass is either burned or buried in guicklime. The disease causes fever, fol- lowed by the appearance of sores in the mouth. It is curable in human beings, but may run a fatal course. the office force would not be af- fected.. The supplies on hand would last until Wednesday. At the office of Morris & Co. it was stated that no men would be laid off. They would be kept busy in other departments. The plant,had enough stock on hand to last until Monday afternoon or night. ST. LOUIS PLANTS NOT AFFECTED The St. Louis stockyard and dressed beef companies are not affected by the quarantine except to the extent that they will not be able to obtain any stock from the National Stockyards. Unléss the quarantine is extended to Missouri they will be able to obtain stock from the country and from the Western mar- kets, Kansaa City, St. Joseph, Omaha and Sioux City. The manager of the East Side plant of the St. Louis Dressed Beef and Pro- vision Co. said if the quarantine is lift- ed in a week the company will not ex- perience any considerable shortage. It has some beef in storage and a good supply of livestock for killing tomorrow and may kill Monday. Five carloads of Illinois cattle, de- livered by mistake this morning fo the Independent Stockyards Co., Second street and Bremen avenue, instead of to the East Side, were quarantined, but no restriction was placed on the rest of the company's yards, and stock is being received and shipped as usual. The shipments are mostly from Mis- souri and the meat output is mostly for local consumption, according to Secre- tery I. E. Shaw. The St. Louis Independent Packing Co., Chouteau and Vandeventer avenues, according to G. Bischoff Jr., the man- ager, has enough stock on hand for im- mediate requirements and expects to buy at the Western markets. It is ex- pected the shutting off of Eastern ship- ments will cause farmers to ship to the Western markets. Bischoff expects there will be some shortage and that rrices will accordingly aivance. Dealers Say Quarantine Will Have no Effect on Milk Supply. St. Louls milk dealers today said the quarantine in Illinois imposed no in- convenience on them and that no appre- hension is felt. In none of the Illinois territory from which 8t. Louls draws its milk supply has the foot and mouth disease appeared. If the disease should uppear in this territory the shipment of milk probably would be _ interdicted, diminishing the supply. It is thought the pasteurization of milk that is done by the large dairies would remove any danger of infection even if the disease were to athe in this territory. Kansas City Offers Use of Yards to Chicago Commission Men. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov... 6.—Com- mission men and stock dealers of Chi- ‘cago are invited to make use of the Kansas City stockyards during the quarantine at the Chicago yards. The invitation was extended by the board of directors of the Kansas Cliy Stockyards Company yesterday. This offer means that Chicago commission men have an opportunity to dispose of the livestock of their customers without waiting until the Chicago quarantine is lifted. The action is one of reciprocity dating back to 1908, when the local yards were flooded and Chicago offered their facil- ities. Quarantine Is Extended Over lowa * and Massachusetts. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Federal quar- antines to check the spread of foot and mouth disease were extended today over the states of Iowa and Massachusetts by Secretary Houston of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. The infection was discovered in Mas- sachusetts at South Attleboro, Bristol county. The Iowa cases were discov- ered at Parnell. The disease has now appeared among cattle in 10 states. Department officials stated that as n+ new cases had been found outside th infected areas in Michigan and Indiana. they hoped they had the epidemic under control in those states. The presence of suspected cases in Mississippi became known through «a letter to the Secretary of Agriculture from the owner of a herd at Como. He wrote that for some time his cattle ha! béen afflicted with sores about th mouths and hoofs and in treating them he seemed to have contracted the disease himself. a ee eee EAT AEROPLANES ARE DROPPING BOMBS INTO TSINGTAU Japanese Casualty List Exceeds 1000; British Have Lost Only 10. By Associated Press. TOKIO, Nov. 6—Complete casuaity Usts containing the names of the kilLed and wounded to date in the operations around Tsingtau, the seaport of Kilau- chau, show that the British had two killed and eight wounded, their wound- ed including two Majors, and that -the Japanese had 200 killed and 878. wounded, The official communication issued by the Government today states that the »vombardment of Tsingtau continues, It also stated that aeroplanes are drcop- ping bombs and circulars into the be- sieged port. The circulars warn the inhabitants not to participate In the nilitary operations in any way. The Japanese general staff that the assault on the main positions ?round Tsingtau, the Iitis, Bismarck and Moltke forts, must be @eferred until after the capture of the five forts south us the Haipo River, where, behind strong defenses, the German artillery and in- fantry are making a determined stand. These five forts are 200 feet from the Japanese trenches. Mine, Not Rocks, Cause of Loss of Hospital Ship LONDON, Nov. 6.—The hospital ship Fohilla, which was\recently wrecked off the Yorkshire coast with a large ntut- ber Of casualties, was struck by a nile and so badly injured that her captain was forced to run her onto the rocks' in order to escape sinking at sea. Capt Wilson, commander of the Rohilla, gave testimony to this effect at an nqaee: yesterday. This was the first hint that the ho=- pital ship had struck a mine. been.generally understood that the ves- sel merely got off her course neur Whitby and piled on the rocks. Capt. Wilson said that, when the Ro- hilla struck the mine he knew she had been badly hurt, and that had he net run her ashore, she would have sunk. with the loss of all hands on board; * Argentine Exhibit for Panama Fair May be at Bottom of Sea NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Argentina’s ex- hibits for the Panama-Pacific Exposi- tion, it became known here today, were on the steamship Vandyck, which the German cruiser Karlsruhe captured Oct. 27 off the Brazilian coast. The Van- dyck's passengers were landed at Para. Brazil, Nov. 2, It is thought here the Germans sank the ship, after removing the beef and coffee which composed purt of her ¢eargo.
