London, Nov 1S.-Undeterred by
wintry weather and floods the Ger
mans still are making an effort to
break down the allies defense along
the Franco-Belgian frontier
Although the Berlin official report
refers to the day as having been a
quiet one there has been an almost
continuous artillery duel, with occa-
sional attacks, but apparently without
either side making any progress.
The line from the coast to Newport,
which has been receiving less atten-
ton since the Germans began their at.
tempt to get the British out of Ypres,
again has been subjected to a bonn.
bardment which is described as a
very violent one, while to the south
of Dixmude the Germans have been
trying, under fire from the allies can
non. to build works to check the food
which compelled them to evacuate
part of their trenches.
at other points the big guns have
been busy again and Rheims has been
subjected to another rain Of shells.
Relieve Pressure on verdun.
From the allies point of view, prob
ably the most important operations
are those to the south of Verdun.
where the French troops for some
time have been trying further to re-
lieve the pressure which the Germans
have been exerting on the fortress.
They have succeeded at last. ac-
cording to the French official COM
munication, and besides making some
progress on the heights of the Meuse
they have advanced on st. Mihiel. the
only point on the left bank OF the
Meuse which the Germans have been
successful in holding.
Another big battle Is developing In
Poland between the vistula and
Warthe rivers, where the Russian ad-
vance has been met by large forces
of Germans coming from Thorn. The
German plan seems to be to attack
the Russian center In the hope of
drawing their wings from East Prus-
STA and Cracow. In the former region
the Russians report further advance
toward the Misunderstanding line
in the north, but they have not been
able to dislodge the Germans from
the passages OF the Mazurian lakes.
F.. Russians Pursue Austrians.
In Galicia the troops Of Emperor
Nicholas are driving the Austrians
southwark and westward and have en-.
gagged their rear guards at Dukla, at
the foot OF the Carpathian mountains.
The unofficial report that Cracow il
burning has not been confirmed.
The servians and Montenegrins
continue to fall back before larger
Austrian forces. II Is stated from
Berlin that the occupation Of Bel.
grade apparently Ia imminent.
General Botha, commander of the
Union OF South Africa forces, again
has been engaged with General De
Vets rebel commanders, but the final
result of the battle Ii not yet known.
Apparently General De Wet. VINO gave
the British SO much trouble In the
South African war before he finally
was captured. is proving q thorn in
the side OF his old comrade. Botha.
for although part OF his commando has
been captured, General De Wet seems

Terrific Four Day Battle.

Paris, November 1S.-A dispatch
from Petrograd to the Havas agency
says in part: "A terrific battle Of
unexampled violence has been pro-
ceeding for four days around Soldau.
The cannonading has been main
tanned night and day. The Rus
SLAMS are endeavoring at any cost
to avenge their check at Soldau and
mans with indescribable fury. The
Russians carried position after posi-
tion splendidly."

Operations In Russia.
London, November lS.-No change
I'm the Kaleidoscope operations in
Russian-Poland have been more
startling than the sudden resumption
of the offensive by the Germans, a
movement by which the heart OF
the Russian line has been attacked
and Warsaw again threatened. AS
usual, conflicting reports arrive from
the neighborhood OF these operations
PetrogTad does not deny that the
Germans have resumed the offensive
but dispatches from the Russian
capital declared that such move
ment will not cause the slightest di
version from the Russian invasion
Of East Prussia. which is proceeding
slowly. but steadily.

Jos A. Morris, the well known 10

early Sunday night, when re fell ov-

street while leaving the steamer At.

Of Maurice Lockwood a.: d one " two
others that saved Mr. Morris proba-

1t seems that Mr.. DO ris had been
to st. Simon's for the ;.fternoon, re-
turning on the Atlantic. Just as the
steamer was docking at the Mans.
field street pier, he mi de an effort
to jump ashore. The top of the
wharf was wet and slippery and Mr.
Morris failed to land ca the wharf
falling between. the end of the dock
and the steamer.
Young Mr.. Lockwood rushed to the
lower deck of the Atlantic. and swing

who succeeded in getting a hold.
Then assisted by one or two others
Mr.. Lockwood pulled him from the
water to the deck Of tn eAtlantic.
It was fortunate that Mr. Morris,
in falling from the wharf to the wa

or the side of the steamer which
would have no doubt meant serious
injury to him.

RAIN PREVENTS
The EXERCISES
But FLAG DAY WAS OBSERVED
OTHERWISE IN BRUNSWICK
YESTERDAY

Flag Day exercises watch were to
have been held by the Brunswick
Lodge Of E.ts Sunday Afternoon, we're
pos, Doned unit! last night owing to
the iHc.ement weather. At the app
pointed hour last night the weather
was again unfayorable, rain prevail
ing at the time, therefore they decid-
ed to cali the exercises off altogether.
The day. however. was otherwise
observed in the city, while all over
the country the occasion was cele-
brated with appropriate exercises.
Flag 90 Years Old
It has now been nfnety-six years
since the first United States flag OF
the present design was hoisted over
the house OF representatives at Wash
ington. IL had twenty stars and thir-
teen stripes. The flag had been made
in New York by the wife OF Capt.
S. G. Reid famous as the command
O. of the private Ger eral Armstr ing.
Mrs. Wendoyer, who had been spon-
sor for the new act by which tie
law Of 1894, providing a new stripe
and a new star for each state, was
changed to reauite only new sta
for each state. Thirteen stripes were
to be preserved to represent tie
original colonies.
Nearly a hundred million people
i've beneath that flag today, as com
pared with ten million ninety six
years ago, and 1t waves over a COM
bined area several times greater than
that represented by its twenty states
In 1918. Its westermost recog 1itioi
was then along the Mississippi river
Today the forty eight st1.es sweep

flag has also been planted over the
over numerous strategic
islands in the Pacifi4, over thu nor
nous area Of Alaska, and at the new
gateway Of oceans at Panam1. Sew
eral years it was carried around the
world by fleet OF American battle
ships, and just five years ago it was

RAIN CANE At An
OPPORTUNE TINE
JUST SUCH A DoWNPoUR AS WE
HAD SUNDAY WAS BADLY /,
NEEDED

Brunswick and this immediate VI
cinity was visited Sunday afternoon
by lust what was needed-a heavy
downpour Of rain, which came down
for half an hour or more in torrents
and which probably saved farmers
in this section thousands of dollars.
The wind which accompanied .the
rain, however, was not needed, but
inasumch as it brought rain with it,
why the little damage which result
ed from the gale will be overlooked.
Fer fifteen OF. twenty minutes the
wind at a velocity of about 80 or 40
miles an hour, but only small dam
age resulted. One or two fences
were blown down, a few trees upset,
several shanties unroofed, etc, but
the wind was not strong enough to
do further damage.
The drought throughout this sec
ton of the state had just about
" ~ 2 re stage, and veget-
ables were reported to be almost
burning up for the want of rain.
While there has been one or two
local showers during the past week,
the rain fall was 50 tight that it did
very Rttpe good. Farmers in the
city during the past few days stated
that, unless there was a heavy rain
within week that the damage would
reach alarming proportions. While
the heavy down pour Sunday was not
general, it is understood hiatt it ex-
tended pretty. well over this imme-
date territory, while other sections
not touched by the rain Sunday, were
visited with Just such downpours on
Friday or Saturday.
Even with the heavy rain on Sun
day the situation has been only re-
lieved and more rain is still need
ed.
