A five-day trip to the front has taken tha correspondent of tha Associated Press through tha German fortresses of Mayence, Saerbruecken and Met, through the frontier regions between Mots and the French fortress line from Verdun to Toul, into the actual battery positions from which German and Austrian heavy artillery were pounding their eight and twelve-Inch hells into tha French barrier forts and into the ranks of the French field army, which has replaced the crumbling fortifications of steel and cement with ramparts of flesh and blood. Impressions at the end are those of some great Industrial undertaking with powerful machinery in full operation and endless supply trains bringing up the raw materials for fabrication, rather than of war as pictured. From a point of observation on a hillside above Mlhlel, the, great battlefield on which a Gorman army Is endeavoring to break through the line of barrier forts between Verdun and Toul and the opposing French forces could be surveyed In It entirety.

In the foreground lay the level valley of the Meuse, with the towns of St Mlhlel and Bnnnocour nestling upon the green landscape. Beyond and behind the valley rose a tier of hills on which the French at this writing obstinately hold an intrenched position, checking the point of the German, wedge, while French forces from, north and south beat upon the side of the triangle trying to force It back across As the season advances we begin to shout Fall Overcoats a lit-)le louder.

I the Meuse and out from tha vitals of the French fortress line. Armies jverly Concealed. An occasional aeroplane or bursting shell could be seen, but infantry and field artillery could not be dtscernea, even with a high power field giass, so clever had the armies takei cover. The uninterested obseiver would have almost believed this a deserted landscape rather than a scene of a. great battle, which if successful for the Uer-mans would force the main French army to retreat from Its entrcncneU positions along the Ainss River.

About three miles awa across the MeuBe, a quadrangular mound of black, ploughed up earth on the hillside marked the locat.on of Fort Les Paroches, which had been sllonced by the German mortars the nlghc before. Fort Roman Camp, so named because the Roman Legions had, centuries ago, selected this site for a strategic encampment, hnd been stormed by Bavarian Infantry two days earlier after Its heavy gun's had been put out of sctlon and artillery officers stated that Fort Lionville. fifteen miles to the south, and out of range of vision, was then practically silenced, only one of Its armored turrets continuing to answer the bombardment Country Side Desolated. The correspondent accompanied German officers on a trip from Metz to the bnttle front. Ae few mltos beyond Oorso the French frontier passed and from this point on the countryside with its deserted farms, rotting shocks of wheat and uncut fields of grain, trampled down by Infantry and scarred with trenches, excavations for batteries and pits caused by exploding shells, showed war's devastating heel prints.

Main army headquarters, the residence and working quarters of a commanding Rt'ncrul whose name may not he mentioned, were in Chatenu Cham-bley, a fine French country house. In the chateau the commanding general made war as comfortably as In his own home. The continental soldier leaves tents to the American army and ouarters himself whenever possible comfortably In houses, wasting no energy In transporting and setting up tented cities, for officers and soldiers. No matter how fast or how far a German army moves, a completely equipped telegraph office Is ready for the army commander Tve minutes after headquarters have been established. French Fighting Gallantly.

At Bt. Benolt a party if some S0 French prisoners was encountered, waiting outside headquarters. They were all fine young fellow. In striking contrast to the elderly reservist type which predominates In the German prison camps. They were evidently elite troops of the line and were treated almost with deference, by their guards, a detachment of bearded land-wehrmen from South Germany.

They were the survivors of the garrison of the Roman Camp fort who had put 'up such a desperate and spirited defense as to win the whole-hearted admiration and respect of the German officer, and men.

m. fjALLAS, Oct. 24. The University of Texas defeated the University of Oklahoma football team here today 32 to 7. Forward passing won the game.

Oklahoma Biuret! lis only touchdown in the first ten Seconds of play, Left Half M. Johnson catching Texas' kick-off and running It back eighty-five yards through the onter of the Texas line for a touchdown. Texas scored three minutes later on a long end run by Barrel! and three line bucks. There was no more scoring until the second half, when Texas began using forward passes on nearly every other play, turning them into four touchdowns. Attendance Was Estimated at 7500.

In addition to tlie five touchdowns made by Tuxas, the Longhorns on five other occasions were within Oklahoma ten-yard line. On each of these other occasions the Sooners seemingly were protected by a kind hearted fate, for forward passes over the line failed, fumbles cost the conquering Longhoros a touchdown, or the Sooner line held them in their almost irresistible onward rush. The game was played on a wet field, with a atiff wind blowing. The honors were even at the end of the first half. Texas used brilliant open field work to great advantage In the second half and nearly every gain was the result of long forward passes or the successful end runs of Barrell.

The LonRhorn Interference did good work most of the time, and when Barrell got away he was well protected. Oklahoma players broke through this interference many times, however, and thro wthe funner for losses. Oklahoma, slightly lighter than Texas, had some fast men and at leaurf one brilliant runner. Three of the Sooners are Indians. They are M.

Johnson, who made the sensational eighty-five-yard touchdown in the first minute of play; his brother, N. John-' son. a half, and Field. The Sooners were on the defensive all through the second half. The backfield appeared to lack the smash-Ine force It had last year, and certainly did not have the weight, no quick were the Longhorns on the defensive that the Oklahoma open field playing was completely broken up, and the brilliant forward passing the Sooners exhibited last year, when attempted, resulted only In disaster.

The Game in Detail. The game opened, with Texas rooters singing Varsity hymn. Barrell punts 45. M. Johnson receives end returns.

Running yard's through a broken field, he scores toucn-down. Cnpshaw kicks goal. Touchdown made on one run. Barrell klcka off thirty yards. Geyer receives and returns eighteen.

Quarterback M. Johnson fumbles ball and Edmond carries klahoijia's third-yard neafor two yards. ball over, making touchdown'. Bfirrell kicks out wild. No goal kicked.

Texas, Oklahoma, 7. First two scores made In three runs. Two runs bring touchdown to Texas. Johnson's sensational eighty-five-yard run bringing touchdown to Oklahoma before game has hardly been started. The first quarter -ended with the score 7 to 0 In favor of Oklahoma.

The Longhorns carried the hall to Oklahoma's goal line, lacking only two yards of going over. In the second quarter Texas carried the ball down field. Oklahoma Intercepted a pass dangerously near the Oklahoma goal. Capshaw's punt blocked by Plttmar. Edmond recovered ball four yards from Oklahoma's goal line.

Littlefield carried ball within two yards of goal. Wimmer fumbled as whistle for close of half blows. The half closes with the score 7 to In favor of Oklahoma. The teams appear evenly matched. The Long-horn rooters do a snake dance on the field.

B'aehey entertains the crowd. During the intermission Coach Aller-dlce unburdens himself and calls attention to points the players overlooked. No change In line-up made by either team. IF BACKACHY OR KIDNEYS BOTHER Eat Less Meat and Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Out Kidney. Drink Plenty Water.

That is why KABO The Live Model Corset" is for sale here; we know what you are getting when you buy kabo Corsets; and they are growing more popular every day.

The reason is that Kabo Corsets and Brassieres RtanA rets and cemented bastions had been battered about their ears In an unusually short time by German and Austrian siege artillery, their guns had been silenced, but they refused every summons to surrender. Then smoke tulss and stink pots were, exploded against apertures In the citadel, filling the domes with suffocating emoke and ga. "Have you had enough?" they were asked after the first smoke treatment. "No." was the deflnnt answer. The treatment was repeated a second and third time, until finally the defenders were no longer able to raise their rifles and the fort was taken.

When the survivors of the plucky garrison were able to march out. rwived by the fresh air, they found their late opponents presenting arms before them In recognition of their gallant stand.
