prove as did Napoleon, the theory of
Bmecher, that these heights are i'm
pregnable even If defended by only
$4,000 men.
The wallis and tower of the Rheims
cathedral, according to latest reports,
arc still standing, but it is not belieV-
ed that they are strong enough to en-
dure much more bombarding.
Nowhere else along the battle line
is any great effort being made to car
ny a frontal attack, and unless one
side or the other executes an outflank-
ing movement Rheims may witness the
most decisive battle of the war.
Belgian serties continue from the shell
ter of Antwerp. but neither the Belgians
nor the Germans have brought about any
real changes in their relative positions in
this district.
From Petrograd come stories of the
continued fight of the broken Austrian
armies in Galicia, while at the same time
Vienna declares that these armies are re-
organizing for offensive tactics. 1t would
seem clear however. that only Przemysl
is today standing out against the total
occupation of Galicia by Russia etro-
grad reports further that the populaee
already is fleeing from Cracew, from
which city a portion of the unique IL
hrary already has been removed for
safety.
Reports received in the Russian capt.
tai are TO the effect that Austrian Polish
volunteers are declining to serve against
the Russians. These give the Russians
hope that Cracow may be delivered to
them without a struggle. The Russians
claim still further victories against the
Austrian forces attempting TO reach Cra-
COW and they predict that there is no
chance of the AustriaHs resuming the Of
fensive before next spring.
That the Austrian army was not so
badly demoralized and disorganized as
was at first reported is indicated by the
admission from Petrograd of the deter
mined nature of the four days assault
which preceded the reeapture of Lem
berg.

Whitcomb-Le Feud

The second chapter in the Whit
comb Leavitt feud was heard Satur-
day before Judge Knowlton, when Mrs.
Rachael p. Whitcomb was complain
ant in the case against Hattie l.. Lea
witt, charging the latter with assault
and battery with hammer and fists.
Mrs. Whitcomb was represented by
Carleton Doak and the respondent by
H. c.. Buzzell.
Some time ago there was row be-
tween the two families of Waldo and
the case was brought into court. In
this chapter the story brought by the
evidence is that Mrs. Whitcomb saw
the Leavitt cows in her pasture and
so went down to let them out. While
she was letting them through the bars,
her dog came along and began playing
with the COW, when Hattie Leavitt
appeared. She carried a hammer and
started as if to attack the dog. Mrs.
Whitcomb said she told her not to
strike the dog but the Leavitt girl
called her a vile name and said We'll
I'll strike YOU" A sister of the Lea
witt girl joined in the fray and Mrs.

5 The dearth Of official news this
smorning from the long battle front in
the western arena OF the war has led
TO the usual crop of rumers, These at
tract interest ard in the minds OF
some people are important from the
8act that, originating simultaneously
at widely distant points, they seem
more or less to confirm each other.
The unsubstantiated report from Ant
swerp to the effect that General Won
.Kluck, the commander of the German
right wing has removed his head
quarters back TO Mons completes these
rumors.
The latest official communication
from Paris, even more iaconic than
usual declares that the allies are max
ing progress between Rheims and the
sArgonne although the fighting yester-
day was less violent. a wounded Bri-
fish officer who has returned to Paris
from the front has supplemented the
official news with the declaration that
the allies, on their left, have advanced
seven miles.
!, Berlin. however reports that the
German counter attacks about
Rheims have resulted in their cap
sture of the strong hill positions at
sCraonne. Is miles northwest of
Rheims, and the occupation of the
village of Betheny 80 miles north of
the French city. Berlin claims also a
successful attack on the line of forts
south Of verdum, defended by eight
French army corps, as a result of
which German troops have crossed the
east border IN the direction of Lor-
raine. Berlin reports further the de-
feat of sortie from the northeast of
verdun. but declares there has been
no important engagement elsewhere on
the western battlefront.
The devoted city of Rheims may be
