Origin Of Halloween.
Halloween, or All Hallows Eve, is
the name given October 81 as the
vigil of Hallowmas, or All Saints
Day. Though it is supposed to be
Christian in its origin, yet it far an
dates the time of the Christian era
On or about Nov. l, the Druids held
their great autumn festival and light
ed fires in honor of the Sun-god in
thanksgiving for the harvest. 1t was
also a Druidic belief that on the eve
of this festival, Saman, the lord of
death, called together the wicked
souls that for the past twelve months
had been condemned to inhabit the
bodies of animals. From this belief
has come ours that on the night of
Oct. 81 the witches, ghosts and other
evil spirits most walk.
Upon these Druidic conceptions
were grated some Of the Roman cell

rort, while Ypres is almost directly
south. IF the junction can be made
between the Belgians and the extreme

If, on the other hand, the fresh Ger
man troops succeed in cutting off the
Belgian forces, which include two of
the marine brigades sent from Eng
land to assist in the defense of Ant
werp, the third having been driven
into Holland and interned, they will
have gained tremendous advantage
in their campaign to occupy the en-
tire coast from the Scheldt to Dun
kirk and possibly even to Calais.
Fighting continues in the Ypres-
Dixmude- -Dunkirk triangle. This ac-
tion is believed to be battle brought
by the allies to halt the advance Of
German reinforcements destined for
the movement against Ostend.
Assuming that the remaining Bel
gian and English forces in Ostend are
waiting for the most expeditions mo-
ment to start their dash for the ex
treme left wing of the allied forces,
the Germans who have set out from
