large amount Of rough country, but
all of the trips have been made with
autos running out Of both towns, and

rapidly. The business houses of both
towns have been practically deserted

ALLIES Went IN
With new HOPES
Some Successes Against the
Germans Sunday Encour-
aged them in Fighting.

Paris, Oct. 26.-The success of the
allies in repulsing the furious attacks
OF the Germans. as indicated in Satur-
days official statement. was the basis
Of encouragement to the French and
English when the battle of the north
was resumed today.
The Germans, in a mighty effort to
gain q victory. continue rushing all
the leinforcements that can be spared.
Many Of the German eoldiers at
Dixmude have come from Berlin
within the last few days Arriving at
the scene Of battle they have been
sent at once into the trenches waist
high with water. The Belgians. under
cover Of a fog. approached the
trenches, and at the point of the
bayonet. made prisoners of large
time the contest was resumed at nu-
merous other points. but the result
was difficult and the casualty lists
were large.
The fact that the allies have ad-
vanced appreciably east Of Nieuport,
as officially announced, and has helped
to reassume them. since in this vicin-
ity the British naval gums could hard
ly continue to exercise any influence
in gaining ground. The slight retro
gression at other points. which was
counterbalanced by progress some-
where else, was considered as inevita-
BILE in great conflict of this kind,
and apparently it did not cause the
slightest discouragement.
The strategic consequences Of this
battle Of the north. it is felt in some
quarters. will be greater to the Ger
mans than to the allies. II it should
be necessary for the latter to with
draw, it would be upon the normal
lines Of the allies without risk, 1t is
declared. and the bending Of the left
wing would not compromise the stu
alton In general. The French also are
confident as to the line at other points.
Fifty per cent Of the troops on the
right wing have not had their bap-
tism Of fire according to word re-
ceived here. General Joffere. COM
mander in chief Of the French forces
is said to be q sharer Of mon, by
necessity, perhaps, but especially on
account of humanity. His calmness
on the field of battle is said to be ex-
traordinary. He Is precise III his or
ders and has absolute knowledge of
the eround and Of his men.
The question Of tho return Of the
government to Paris from Bordeaux
in view Of the necessity Of voting
majority bills and credits. is being
discussed. The suggestion is made
that after the deputies have finished
sitting here they should 20 back to
Bordeaux,

sign all cargoes bound for neutral

Advices From Front Indicate General Attempt by the Al

Path Further From the Seaport.

The supreme effort of the fighting men of five ma

FrenchBelgian border. The latest reports are that
the struggle of unparalleled fury is still in progress
along the North sea, where the Germans, with reck-
less bravery nging their troops against the al

great meadows near Ostend, British correspondents
report, are heaped with German dead.
London, Oct. 26-"Advices from the front this

In the region between Neuport and Ypres as well as
to the east of Arras."
London Oct. 26.-As claimed by Berlin and ac-
knowledged by Paris the Germans undoubtedly have
crossed the User river, between Dixnude and Nieu-
port, but whether not this forward step in
the "on to Calais movement may depend on opera
tons further eastward.
Rumors continue to reach London of the irnpend-
ing evacuation of Ostend and the reduction of the Ger
man garrison in Antwerp. This does not necessarily
imply preparations for retreat but it may mean that
the Germans are throwing every available against

New Dormitorx Building.

Contractor Lloyd C. Cutler will build
the first dormitory building for Hood
College upon the college farm The con-
tract has been let to Mr.. Cutler for a
building $50 by so feet and three stories
high. Work will commence at once and
the building is to be completed by Au-
gust 18th, 1915 The contract price was
SIS, 500.
The new building will occupy a posi-
ton 100 ieet west of the administration
building and 100 feet to the rear of this
building and the building will set at
right angles to the administration build
ing.
Contractor Cutler has staked out the
building, and the work of excavating for
the Foundation will begin as soon as pos
sible- The new building is planned to
accommodate 100 students, but when the
college opens in 1915 onty SO students
can be accommodated there as a portion
of the building will be given over to a
kitchen and dining room temporarily.
Later this portion of the building, when
a refectory is erected, will be given over
to dOrmitory purposes.
The dormitory building will be of
brick with stone trimmings and the gen
eral style of architecture will be much
along the same lines as the administration
building The new building will have an
end towards the Montevue Pike, and
this will make all OF the rooms face east
and west, and will assure sunlight in
every room for a portion of each day,
which is most desirable.

80. 600 Fire at Jefferson.

Fire on last Friday hight. August 28th,
did much damage in the general store OF
Marriott & Marriott, of Jefferson, this
county, and before being gotten under
control did damage approximating
$4,000. The fire was discovered by Miss
Marriott, at about one O'Clock. and she
aroused her brother who had retired.
1t was found that the store was afire and
an alarm was sounded. Aid soon arriv-
ed and bucket brigade was formed, but
because Of the fact that the fire had gotten
between the plastering and the flooring
above, the fire was a most stubborn one
to fight. After more than an hour and a
half 1t was gotten under control 1t is
estimated that the damage to the build
ing will be about $780, The damage to
the stock will be hard to estimate. 1t
was chiefly among the dry goods. The
store is in two rooms, and the one side
where shoes, etc, are carried, the fire
did not reach.
How the fire started rs a mystery.
There had been no fire in the store and
an examination shows lthat the fire evi-
IDENTIFY started near the floor Of the store.
Residents Of the town we're summoned
by the ringing of the church bells and
more than 200 persons congregated. The
building ia owned by Miss Eva Ann
Feaster.

Tree Warden for Frederick and
Vicinity.

Under a new State law all of the
trees standing within the right. of-way of
public highways and along the sidewalks
OF the Incorporated towns become public
shade trees, under the care and protec-
ton of the State through the State Board
OF Forestry. Heretofore the authority
over such trees has not been clearly de-
fined, and generally the property owner
who owns the abutting property claimed
them as his trees, the town or road SUI
pervisors as the case might be, claimed
certain amount of jurisdiction. because
they were along the public highway or
street. while the pole line companies,
which have franchise or permit to use
the roads or streets, claimed that when
ever such trees interiered with their
wires that they had right to cut or trim
them. This has led to much i'll feeling
and many controversies and has proven
very unsatisfactory. Now the status Of
these trees is clearly defined, and they
are recognized as part of the improve.
ments of the road or street. belonging
not to the individual but to the public gen
orally.
This new law makes it nisde-
meanor Tor any one to cut, trim or in
any way injure one of these trees, without
permit from the State Board OF Fores-
try. The purpose of the law is to pre-
vent the mutilation or reckless cutting of
these trees, which add so much to the
attraCtiveness of the streets and road
sides and are source OF comfort 10 the
people. 1t takes many years to grow
shade tree and they are worthy of the
very best care and protection OF the
State.
For the town of Frederick and the
outlying sections the Governor of the
State upon the recommendation Of the
State Forester has commissioned Mr.
Charles E. Klein Of Frederick, to act
as the local Tree Warden. Every one
interested in the protection of trees
should cooperate with Mr.. Klein in this
good work to see that the law is strictly
enforced and to see that the community
receives the full benefits under its pro-
visions.

THE IDEAL HOME.

The following is our second contribu-
ton on the Ideal Home. We received
MANY compliments on the first one pub
lished and the following is certainly
equally as good Editor.
The head of nv ideal home" is a
father possessing frmness of character
without being a tyrant He gives the
best that he is socially and mentally to
his father. The mother is patient. kind
and courageous. the children obedient.
The home is not the home of wealth,
neither is it the home of poverty. Order
and system prevail in every department.
The radiance of truth rests upon each
face. There is refinement and culture.
The mother tongue is spoken in all Of
its purity. The ideal home>is christian
home. The Bible is read here and Its
precepts are lived up to. Rocks and pa.
pers are to be seen everywhere. The
books are selected with care so that they
may entertain and instruct without cor
rupting the reader. No profanity or
slang is heard here. The cup that ine
briates has never had place in this
home The children honor their parents
and the parents respect the rights OF the
children, and lie is made as bright as
possible for them. They are early Taught
to love the beautiful in art as well as in
nature. Flowers aad music help to re-
fine and beautfy their home. This fam
lily is taught to deal Justly and they
weigh their fellow man by what he is
and not by what he has. This ideal
home" is so attractive that the children
are not tempted to spend their evenings
on the street or in doubtful places OF
amusement.
The citizen., 1914-09-04

If man dares to live within his
means, and is resolute in his purpose
not TO appear more than he really is,
let him be applauded. There is some
thing fresh and rare in such an example.
