Berlin, October 7.—(By wireless
to Sayville).—An official report from
the German army headquarters says
that in the siege of Antwerp the forts
of Lierro, Waelhem ana Konigs-
hoyckt and the intermediate redoubts
guns have been taken.
• "Thus a breach has been made In
the outer circle of forts," the report
adds, "rendering an attack, on the
inner circle of forts and (be town
itself possible."
"Near Augustowo the third Siberi-
an and parts of the Tw^ty-second
Russian army corps composing the
left wing of the Russian arms, on
crossing the Niemen river, were de-
feated after a furious battle lasting
two days. More than 2,000 unwound-
ed Russians were made prisoners and
a large quantity of guns ind machine
gnns were captured."
Other press matter given out in
official quarters Bays:
"The force of native troops from
British India which recently landed
at Marselles, has left that port for
the northward.
"British ships have arrived at Lis-
bon and are probably destined to
transport Portuguese troops. Portu-
gal's co-operation in the war is im-
minent, the mobilization of the Por-
tuguese forces, it is believed, having
been ordered oil the demand of the
British government.
"England is sowing mines in sev-
eral parts of the North sea, and a
warning to this effect has been given
to neutral shipping.
"The Rumanian crown prince has
been strongly rebuked for his Rus-
sophilo agitations. Th£ leaders of
the Roumanian parties have'tleclared
themselves in favor of continuing
neutral policy of Roumanian govern-
ment.
"A manifesto issued by the Rou-
en ania socialist party assumes that
the neutrality of the country will be
preserved condemns the Russophilo
propaganda in certafn newspapers
and emphasises the dangerous posi-
tion of Russia."
"The government ei the USetfeee-
laads has strengthened the Dutch
force along the frontier districts to.
disarm Belgian troops when the lat-
ter cross the frontier from Antwerp..j
'"According to a statement made;
by his eminence, Cardinal Bettinger. l
the highest Roman Catholic author-!
ity in Bavaria, the statement appear-!
ing in English and American news-
papers that priests have been shot
and bayoneted by German soldiers
while attending the wounded in Bel-
gium, are to be considered as abso-
lutely without foundation.
"It is declared that English news-
paper. correspondents overtook the
fact that a large portion of the Ger-
man army is Roman Catholic.

The editors of Texas have invited

what is termed unceasing lies about ' which carries letters from the
the pretended barbarous warfare of jof Houston, the president and1 man-
aging director of the No-Tsu-Oh as-
sociation and from a hundred tf the
editors of the state.
This invitation is to iw formally
presented to Secretary*Daniels in the
Washington Press Club by Walter S.
Oard, the correspondent of the fiktuaH
ton Post, who will make of the pre-
sentation an occasion with the rep-
resentatives of the metropolitan jpMss
in attendance. • m>fl
It is the expectation of the Press
day committee of the No-Tsu-Qfc that
Secretary Daniels will accept the in-
vitation and that he will be In at-
tendance during the jubilee.
The attention of the secretary has
been particularly drawn to tbe fact
that the completion of the Houston
ship channel Is really a national af-
fair for the reason that it is the first
/to tbe finished under tMs
the Germans.
"The leader of the American gov-
ernment commission sent to Germany
on board the cruiser Tennessee to
prepare for the return of American
tourists, has addressed a letter to
Frank Von Mendelssohn and the Ger-
man-American relief committee high-
ly praising the German nation in
arms and thanking them for innu-
merable proofs of kindness.
"Russia is issuing $S75,000,000
unsecured notes.
"*he return of the German imperi-
al bank last week shows $429,000,-

more than In the previous return."

Subscribe for the
plan of compelling a community to
evidence its faith by providing half
the cost. The city of Houston paid
half the sum needed for the build-
ing of the ship channel, issuing $1,-
250,000 in bonds for that purpose.
For this reason the matter is of more
than passing moment at a time when
thexfr are ae many complaints of
"petk" in the rivers and harbors bill.
Press Day of the jubilee has been
fixod for Tuesday, the day when the
completed chqpnel is to be formally

pany will string a wire from the wire

The local cotton market Is in keep-
ing with the market in other por-
tions of the State; that la, it is very
weak. The best cotton brought sev-
en eents in Brenham today, but only
a very small amount was sold.
President W. D. Lewis of the
Farmers' Union, In a statement ii-
j sued yesterday, said that the gov-
ernment report fpr Texas was 1,250,-
000 bales too high. This condition
was brought about, he said, by ths
encroachments of boll weevils. At
Galveston and Houston the price yes*
terdfty dropped nearly half a cent.
Something like 6500 bales are now
stored in and around Brenham, while
only a little more than 2,000 bale*
have been sold here this season.
Following is the market rlport for
Brenham and the prices prevailing
