GERMANS
NEARING
DUNKIRK
French Tell of Their
Progress.
SEVERE FIGHTING
OCCURS AT D|XMUDE
Paris Declares British Fleet
Aids in Victory.

London, Oct. 20.-German forces
nave reached the neighborhooa OF
Dunkirk. according to a Berlin official
dispatch to the Marconi Wireless COM
pany. Heavy fighting is taking place
at Dixmude and Roulers. The in
habitants Of Dunkirk and Doulogne
are in flight.
The third act of the war in the west
ern theater has reached a critical
point. The first act was the German
attempt to sweep through Belgium
and Northern France upon Paris and
capture the French capital.
The second act was the offensive
assumed by the allies after General
Won kluck had stretched his army on
the German west wing over a long line
of communications that he could not
hold. The allied army pressed the
gian border, compelling the entire
line from the eastern pivot Of Verdun
to reCede in order to maintain an I'M
broken front and a possible line Of
retreat.
The third act is the attempted ad-
vance Of the Germans along the coast
of Belgium and Northern France, ap-
rlrently with the design of establish
ing themselves in the channel ports
om which points of vantage they
could ,,opooo Epu1onI
Heavy Guns in Use.
Reports from France indicated that
the extreme western fighting line now
reaches from Armentieres through
Roulers to Nieuwport which is on the
coast about half way between Ostend
and Dunkirk. According to the
French official announcement German
heavy artillery, presumably used in
the siege of Antwerp has bombarded
the front from NieuWport to Vladslo,
which is about ten miles from the
coast.
The German official report covers
the operations more tersely. 1t says
that the attacks to the vest and

with heavy losses to the allies.
The announcement that the Ger
mans have taken siege guns to the
neighborhood of Belfort may mean
that they plan to attempt an advance
on both ends of what during the past
month has become a very long forti-
fed line.
Great battles continue in the east
ern theater between the Russian and
Austro-German forces. Reports from
both sides are brief and contradictory.
Petrograd claims the Russians have
won partial success in severe fighting
before Warsaw and PrZemysl. Vienna
declares the Austro-German armies
have made advances in both regions

vet to say just what changes the
Panama Canal will make in the

to draw the inference that it will
take much from the transconti-

greatly decrease the business
that is at present done through
the Straits of Magellan. 1t is al
so well nigh certain that it will
have no good results for some of

for many Of the South American

IHERE are some disadvan-
tages that naturally accrue
where any one policy of
life is carried to an extreme.
On this last point the learned
Dr. Kulmitz, physician to the
King of Siam, has recently con-
tributed a little pamphlet, copy
of which the doctor was so kind
as to send me.
In this booklet the claim is
made that all diseases are caused
by either too much excitement or
not enough.
Excitement, of course. increases
the heart beat-the pulse runs
up, the eyes begin to glisten,
thought f1ows-all. the secretions
are active.
Up to a certain point this is
well, for the digestion is aided,
lungs expanded. and the glands.
through exercise, are in condition
TO do their perfect work.
But If the excitement is con-
tinued beyond this certain point,
the bodily functions become de-
ranged, the nerves get tired of the
tension, and eventually we will
have a case of nerves" variously
known as "Americanitis" or ner-
vous prostrstion, with a fine ar
ray of local symptoms. covering
every sort of twinge and tired
feeling.
On the other hand are the dis
eases and complaints that come
from lack of eXcitement-that is,
too much Canned Life. The poor
creatures perish for the lack OF
fresh thought. First in the list of
diseases caused by the lack of
excitement our learned author
names cancer, which he explains
is caused originally by q faulty
circulation.
A stoppage occurs. and Nature
tries to relieve the distressed
point by sending more blood to
the spot.
Then we get congestion and
next Inflammation.
A certain amount of excitation
at the right time, the author
AYERS, would have freed the sys-
tenn from all congestion and
made cancer impossible.
There is also a whole round OF
maladies that can be cured by
