The series OF high lands, stretching

how surely the allies in northern

Won Kluck, the commander of the Ger

For the last week, the Germans, SO
far as can be ascertained from the facts
known in London, have been vainly
hurting themselves against different
points in the allied line, in an effort
to discover a weak mesh in the net. At
the same time, in the view of General
Joffre. commander in chief of the
French forces, the process of attrition
has gone far enough to justify the re-
sumption OF offensive movements on
the part Of the allies, as is announced
in the latest communication from
French headquarters.
Apparently, the intent is now to at

aboard the steamship Minnetonka, with
a vivid description Of the battlefield.
So great q been the carnage he said,
that within q radius OF 500 yards he,
saw 1000 dead Germans. The bayonet
charges OF the allies, he said, were re-

FARMERS DISAPPEARANCE

Harrisburg, s. d.. Oct. Friends
have offered a reward for information
which will lead to discovering the
whereabouts Of Louis Thompson, a
well TO do farmer, who recently disap-
peared from his farm near Harrisburg
under somewhat mysterious circum-
stances. In some quarters 1t is feared
he wandered away while temporarily
demented. m .. .1
The missing man Is a bachelor anG Is
about 33 years of age. He had en-
ployed a crew to thrash his grain and
when the crew arrived at the farm
Thompson had disappeared. After
waiting some time. and upon Thonlp-
sons failure TO appear, they broke into
his house. They found everything IN
order, the only signs bearing upon his
disappearance being the fact that he
had donned his best suit of clothing
and had left his working clothes in the
house. Thompson's finances are de-
clared to be in good condition. There is
no known reason why he should have
voluntarily left the country.

The allies have been obliged to give ground at points on the
western side of the battle line. This was announced in a statement
issued by the French war office this afternoon.
The announcement contained the additional information that
the battle continues with great violence to the north of the Disc
without decisive result and there is no change on the remainder OIL
the front.
A wireless from Berlin to Sayvile, L. l., today brings a long
German official statement, in which there is no reference whatever to-
the great engagement in which the allies are attempting to turn the
German right wing in northern France and reach the German line
of communication to Belgium. Another statement says the battle is
progressing satisfactorily.
The official French communication given out this afternoon
says:
"on our left wing, to the north of the Disc, the battle continues
with great violence. The results remain indeciive. We have been
obliged at certain points to yield ground.
Along the remainder of the front there has been no change"
A dispatch received at London by the Reuters Telegram com
pany gives an official statement issued at German headquarters last
evening. 1t says:
SIN the western theater the battle on the right wing and in
the Argonne district is progressing satisfactorily"
London, however, declares that the fighting is now in progress
near Douai, Is miles northeast of Arras, indicating a further develop
ment in the allies turning movement against General Won Kuck.
The same dispatch states that the German crown princes army In
the Argonne district is threatened from the rear. There is nothing
to indicate how this movement could have been effected.
