GERMANS SURPRISE
 FORCES OF ALLIES
But Three-Day Battle, Involving More Than Million, Is Yet
 Undetermined.

London, Aug. 24.-With a sudden ness which apparently has temporily given the allies setback, Germany has advanced in one vast concentrat- ed sweep along battle line which the Swiss border, or a distance of 300 miles.
 The movement of the kaiser's forces in Alsace and Lorraine, if they have not been merged with the Belgian campaign, at least, have been timed accurately with the latter so that sim ultaneously 1,OO0,0OO Germans of all arms of the service have begun the advance through Belgium and across Alsace-Lorraine into France.
 There is no confirmation in London of the reported success of the Ger man crown prince.
 The admission of the allies, how ever, that they have been forced to retire is open to the most serious construction.
 Germans Now in France.
 Credit is now given to early morn- ing reports that Nancy has fallen in- to the ha11ds of the Germans. Nancy is an unfortified town, capital of the department of Muerthe-et- -Moselle, 35 miles south Metz, on the left bank of the Muerthe river and 10 miles from the German frontier. It is one of the finest and best built towns of France, filled with historic memor- ies with a population of more than 9O,O0O.
 Evidently the allies have been talk en by surprise. Just what the French foreign office statement means is not clear. It is not regarded as possible. however, that the allies have been de- cisively defeated. That which both England and France warned their subjects to expect has probably come to pass-a reverse. Germany has scored the first success, but the great engagement is still raging.
 1,5OO,0OO Men Staying.
 On three important fields battles greater and more sanguinary than the world has ever known, are now in progress. Altogether more than a million and half men are engaged in these cOmbats. %
 Along 100 miles of territory from Mons in Belgium to the Luxemburg frontier, for three days 250,oOO Ger mans have been locked in death grapple with an equal number of the allies, and the issue is still unde- termined.
 Then along the Lorraine frontier and extending over across the French boundary, another great army said to be under the personal command of the crown prince, is hammering away at the French, who have until recent ly had things their own way in that vicinity. Luneville and Nancy are already reported to have fallen before the Germans, who are pursuing the French fin the direction of Longwy.
 Finally third great battle is un- der way in Alsace, where another German army has fallen upon the French in force in desperate effort to wrest Muelhausen from the latter.
 Subsidiary to these great battle re- ports are received of a score of small fights, blending together the three in to one continuous struggle for su- premacy along the 300 miles iron tier

THAT EUROPEAN WAR;!

The entire public is now interested in the devastating war being conduct ed by powerful countries of Europe.
 We read today that the Triple AL liance is getting the best of it, and tomorrow it is reported that the Triple Entente is the most powerful and successful; so that we in the United States do not know for sure which side is the most successful.
 We do know, however, that there is great waste of money, life and property, all of which we are power less to prevent, but it behooves us now to save all that we possibly can, for while We may not be destroying life and property, we often waste money for something we do not get and that is, efficiency.

Thin Folks Who
 Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or
 More
A Physicisn's Advice

be able to fat up a few pounds and stay that way" declares every exces- slTely thin man or woman. Such a re- suit is not impossible, despite past failures. Thin people are victims of mal-nutrition, a condition which pre- vents the fatty elements of food from being taken up by the blood as they are when the powers of nutrition are normal. Instead of getting into ,ne blood, all the fat and flesh producing elements stay in the intestfnes until they pass from the body as waste.
 To correct this condition and to pro- the nutrftive processes must be arti- feially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can best be accomplished by eating a. Sargoi tablet with every meal. Sargol is a scientific com bination of six of the best strength giving fat-producing ele- ments known to the medical profes- the food and turns the sugars and starches into rich, ripe nourishnent for the tissues and blood and it's rapid enect IS remarkable. Reported gains Of from ten to twenty-five pounds in single month are by no means infre- quent Yet its action is perfectly nat ural and absolutely harmless Sargol Is sold by the Lee 6 Osgood CO, and other good druggists everywhere and every package contains a guarantee of weight increase or money back
 Caution;-While SarsoI has produced remarkable results in the treatment of nervous indigestion and general stom- its remarkable flesh producing effect be used by those who are not willing to increase their weight ten pounds o7, more.

With the mercury lowering a de- gree or two under the zero mark, one of the coldest nights of the winter, fire in the Marguerite building on North Main street, for which an alarm was rung in 15 minutes after mid- night, gave the department a hard fight of an hour and a half before the recall was struck this (Thursday) morning.
 Seventeen minutes after the alarm was rung in from box 229 in front near the postoffice, Chief Stanton had the general alarm rung, and the good work of the frennen confined the blaze to the immediate section of the build ing in which it started, which was the kitchen cellar and a hallway under the apartments occupied by Mrs. Charles Davis and family on the North Main side of the building.
 The building is a three story one, used for stores and tenements. and was built with fire walls from the ground floor up between all the tene- ments. so that these aided the firemen in holding the blaze from spreading, and a brick f1rewall in the cellar also kept the flames from communicating to the front of the building on that floor.
 The families from the eight tene- ments in the building were driven into the streets by the smoke, women and children in come cases getting +out barefotted and in only their night clothes, and shivering around on the vitrihed brick pavement until places of refuge for them were provided.
 Policeman Patrick Murphy was one of the first of those to arrive after the alarm had been turned in and he at once devoted his attention to arousing the families in the house and warning them to get out. Policeman Matthew Delaney, who has passed the place ten minutes before and seen no signs of smoke was also on hand quickly and found a lightly clad woman who had
