'" I ' When tho figlilinp'sfilrK'il the Hel pinns were entrenched north of the eity, protecting the Keyen road. To their right, turneil lownnt the west in the direction of Essen, were tlie Sen egnleso riflemen. To tho south tlie French bluejnekets occupied tlie most exposed position on tho Slerken rond. Tho enemy opened n terrific bom bardment nt 5 o'clock in the room ing of Tuesday Inst, during which the admiral, who was in command of the sailor and who was making n recon naissance, just missed being hit by the fragment of a shell. fho men waited patiently in thu trenches. Toward 1 p. m. tlie can nonading slackened and three dense columns of (lerman infantry oened lire on the trenches. One column threatened to turn the Helgiaus, who overpowered by numbers, retired on the outskirts of the city. They were followed by the Senegalese, who thought that an order for a general retreat had been given. This move ment uncovered the bluejackets, who, however, continued to hold their ground. While part of the enemy advanced on Dixmuda by the Essen and Keyen roads left open to them, tho rest came at the double-quick for the sailors. Faced by tho Prussian guard, they wero in danger of being surrounded. Undaunted, however, they dashed with tho bayonet upon the Germans, but wero overwhelmed by numbers and beaten back to tho trendies. Asked to surrender, they rcolicd in the words credited to General Cnm bronnc at Waterloo, when, in similar circumstances, he said: "The guard dies, but never surren ders." For several hours they held off the dentin u, who were four times as nu merous, charging their ranks every time tliev came too near. PEACE EFFORTS A E WASHINGTON, Xov. 17. Efforts by tho United States to bring peace to Europe still arc awaiting a timo when one or more of the belligerents indicates u willingness to accept me diation. This becamo known authoritative ly today from persons who have lnte 1.V discussed the Europcnn situation with President Wilson. The presi dent's position is that the United States, having already in a fonnul ns well as in nn informal way shown its readiness to act ns un intermediary, should now await the initiative of tho belligerents. Ho feels that the Amer ican government, by pressing for peace, might get in a position where its ultuunto influcnco to that end would be impaired. Tlicro bus been much discussion nmong neutral conntries, puch ns Holland and Spain, of the desirabil ity of concerted action. Whilo the United States would not hesitate to join in such a movement, if any of the belligerent countnes showed a de sire (o accept tho mediation of sev ci ui neutral countries, instead of one, tho American government will for tho present refrain from taking the in itiative toward joint action with oilier iiciitval nations.

II IIL CHAMBERLAIN SPEN W ELECTION IE OF SLAV ARMY IlKMiIX, Nov. 17. A general vlow of the Mutation in the eastern arena, based on Information given out In Herlln, Indicates that the Intcst Her man victories arc such that tho ad vance ot the lliiBslans has been rend ered more difficult. This success, however, does not mean that the Kusslan movement li.i3 collapsed. Considering tho enormous numbers of available soldiers, it jlocs not mean even the dlscontlunucu ot the Husslan offensive. The great difficulty for the ltus slans is found on the Vistula, which separates both wings of their army. The Russian army which was beaten near Wloclawek, and which appar ently came from Warsaw, was driven back In a southerly dlreltlon, not In the direction from which it had ad vanced. It was forced along a road running from Kutno to Gombln, white the northern Russian army, opratlng near Soldau, was forced back to Plock by way of l.Ipno. The Ger mans now aro standing on the right wing of the main Russian army; con sequently they havo won a tactical success. In addition to creating a fav orable strategic situation. News reaching here rtom Vienna Is to the effect that all along the Galtcian border the military activity leads German observers to supposo that the Austrlans also have taken tho offensive. ADVANTAGES FOR MAKING DISTRICTS FOR IRRIGATION (Continued from jk I.) jeet to Irrigation from the same gen eral source of supply. Conipnrl.-on With Water System It compares very much to the put ting ot a water system in a town, where the cost of Installation will become a general debt on the whole community, rather than to attempt to charge only those who uso the water. It goes without saying that If tho system Is a success, all of the poo plu within the district whoso lands can be Irrigated from tte system will eventually take ' the water. They will at least have au opportunity. It will put new values into the lands within the district because the poo- plo to whom they may sell have the opportunity of putting tho water upon the land, so that as to the two plans It is undoubtedly fairer and more to the good eventually of tho Indi vidual land owner to have a district created whereby the cost Is spread over the entire district, and repre sented by bonds which are defined and provided for by law, and which make tho payments easier than thoy would bo under the contract system. Security for Itond.s The great trouble with Irrigation district bonds of late years has been the market. However, this valley Is particularly suited to the creation of such a district, because the land Is In a high state of cultivation, Is of Im mense value and makes tho security attractive. Whereas, In tho past tho trouble has been that the districts have been created largely In tho arid sections where tho land has llttlo or no value until after the water is put uon it, and whero In some cases there has been so much alkali that tho system ot Irrigation has ruined the land. Hut with a valley thickly settled, and with rich soil, and in a high state of cultivation, and with good permanent Improvements the bonds ought to find a market. Thoy would find a market more readily than the Individual contracts, because in tho case ot default on the Indi vidual contracts there would have to be some proceeding upon each ono separately. Whereas, under a bond system tho payment of tho debt is spread over a great number of years and the payments aro mado castor, and the system Is governed by a board of directors chosen by tho land own ers thomfcelves, to not only rogulato ho ubo of tho water, but to handlo tho entire project. For Creation of District Under tho bond system fifty or mora land owners within tho proposed district may petition tho county court for tho creation of such a district, de fining the boundaries thereof. This petition and notices nro duly pub lished and at tho appointed tlmo a hearing is had before the county court. At this timo any lands that aro not subject to Irrigation from tho system aro excluded by the county court. Others whoso lands aro adja cent, but not included within the boundaries as defined, may havo thorn brought within tho proposed district. An election Is then held, and tho land owners wuiiln tho district vote upon tho question as to whether thoy will create such a district or not, If they decldo to do so thoy will, at that sumo election, elect their direc tors, who correspond very much to ffiDFOKD MATT, Tlttr.VNrc. the directors of any other corpora tion. t'ndcr County (.'out ml They are organized under the con trol and direction of tho county court. They select u competent engineer, the source of tho supply of tho water Is then found and estimates arc made as to. the cost ot the water rights. In stallation, etc. llofnru any consider able expenditures nro made, outside of tho expense of organisation, and for the engineering work, tho matter Is again submitted to the voters of tho district, under nn election called for that purpose, who vote upon the question us to whether they shall is sue bonds or not. Ordinarily, If miuo company or corporation has such water rights to sell, and desires to sell them to the district, the company takes the bonds at par for tho Installation ot the com plete water system upon nn agreed price, so that the trouble of finding a market for the bonds Is shifted to the construction company. Try District FlrM If It Is thought advisable to provldo Irrigation for n portion or all of the valley It would seem best to try the district system first and create such a district, mid then make the ncecv sary Investigation, before submitting tho question of bonds to the district. It Is too early to select any particular Irrigation system ou any definite terms, lleforc bonds aro issued the district will want to know, from a man competent to Judge, that the water supply Is ample; that It Is not only ample but that the system when Installed will be permanent and per petual. Ueforo any such system Is selected, or anything else is done in a largo way towards procuring an Ir rigation 'system, It would bo better, therefore, to create such n district, and to elect its board of directors, and to put upon tho board men comjx tent to handlo tho matter. When this has been done the various sys tems proposed could bo considered. Can Voto District llomls If it should bo determined that a system of works is proposed which seems to assure an ample water sup ply, with permanent works, at o rea sonable cost, the district can then vote the bonds to put In a completed plant, and these bonds ran be used as money In payment therefor. Should such a system not be found, or should there be any question ns to tho water supply, or the permanency, oi mo won;s tuai arc to oc installed, or It it should be impossible to pro cure these nt a figure which the land owners would consider reasonable, and fair, the district can then be dis organized and the amounts of money expended on the Investigation would bo small and would be money well spent ns having settled and mined tho question. If the district plan should be adopted and a deslrnblo system of- fercd to the district, the construction ot the plant could begin at an early dnto and the water put .upon tho land much earlier than could bo nccom- pllshed by tho contract system, or by any other method ALL MIL IN WAR BERLIN.

Whether the latest German victories In the east have stopped tho Husslan ndvanco cannot yet be foretold, but, German mllltnry officials say, they undoubtedly havo resulted In giving the Germans an excellent strategki position, at the same time Increasing the difficulties of tho-enemy's situa tion. The Russians near Soldau, accord lag to reports from German head quarters, were driven back from Up. no to l'lock and the Russian army defeated by General Von llludeuburg at Wloclawek was forced southward lover Kutno Instead ot back upon thu line of advance. The Vistula river Is now between, the two Russian forces and It li pointed out In mili tary circles that the river Is likely to prove a great barrier In case of further Russian defeats. German authorities say tho victory must not be over estimated, nm that tho people should wait until It Is known whether the Rdsslans havo I been mndu to retreat or even brought to a standstill.
