French Report.
(By Franklin P. Merrick)

(By Franklin p. Merrick)
Paris, Oct. 28.-The offensive of
the Germans in Belgium has become
less violent, according to an official
announcement at this afternoon. 1t
is claimed the positions of the allies
have been maintained and progress
made between Cambrin and Arras in
France and northeast of Ypres in
Belgium. The statement follows:
During yesterday attacks by the
Germans throughout the region be-
tween Nieuport and Arras became less
violent. "a
"Our positions were maintained gen.
orally, and we continued to make pro-
gress to the north and south Of
Ypres. We accomplished some pro-
gress also between Cambrin and Ar
ras.
stronger confirmation is being re-
ceived from day to day that the Ger
mans have suffered considerable loss
es in dead, wounded and prisoners.
"In the region to the north of the
right bank of the Aisne the Germans
attempted a violent offensive last
night.
'In the region of Craonne, on the
heights of the Road Des Danes, they
have been repulsed.
"In the Woevre region our troops
are continuing to advance in the for
est between Agreement and ST. Mihiel
and liekwise in the forest of lie Pre-
ire.

saw, the battle extends from Rawa
to the Planes Jenka, in Vistula, along
front of 100 kilometers (62 miles).
"In the region at the northeast of
Rawa the Russians have inflicted
heavy losses upon the Germans and
bloody combats have taken place be-
tween Kozienice and Radon.
an Galicia the Russians are MAX
ing progress south of the Sambre."

Germans Get Worst
Both East and West

nude and the region just north OF
that roint.
By a supreme rally, the Belgians
British and French, under orders from
General Joffre to concentrate the
force of their attack on this left
flank position of the enemy, succeed
ed in driving through and establish
ing themselves in a position to di-
rect Il deadly crossfire from the
flank, which is calculated to relieve
the pressure against the allied posi-
tions to the north.
1t would appear that the allies by
thus protruding their wedge shaped
advance into the very NAV of the
enemy, were committing a strategic
error, but it has been the history of
this battle, as of the battles that have
preceded it, that these great convex
curves are remarkably flexible and
almost never break, or are cut off
by clanking. Besides, even if these
advanced positions are reduced final
ly, the execution they are able to
co while occupying the advantageous
ground thus gained is ample repay
ment for the loss suffered in fighting
strength and materials.
At the extreme eastern end of the
tattle front the allies reported an
other significant victory.
Here in the region beyond Nancy
the German line which for six weeks
has leen stretched without yielding
materially, clear across France, has
Iroken at last. A French official
statement says the invaders were
driven back across the border on to
German soil.
The victory for which the French
have been striving for weeks was
gainad between the forests of Be-
zange and Purroy and the German.
are now reported to be falling back
upon Metz.
The German army which has forced
its way to st. Mihiel, now held by
the enemy, are greatly endangered
by this movement. Further progress
by the French in this direction will
cause the Germans to retreat to es-
cape being enveloped. Also it would
effectively relieve Verdun, as the
force bombarding this fortress could
not be left before it without sup
port.
But, whatever the gains in this
eastern field, the main issue of the
war in France and Belgium will be
fought out where the greatest num-
her of troops are massed. And this
is on the field in northwest Belgium.

undiminished vigor About Ypres the

If YOU want to be happier tn1s
Christmas than you have ever been
before at Christmas make somebody,
who has no hope, much lass expecta-
ton, of being happy this Christmas
happier than he or she has ever been
at Clristmas.-Greenville Piedmont.
This is the gospel to preach at this
time. In fact, it is not bad doctrine
at any time. The truly sci ish person
cannot be '-appy here and We do not
belie,e e can possibly be in that other
land whence We are journeying. His
wealth can't make lin happy here,
and We are sure it will cut no ice
ever there, because when he departs
hence that is one thing tnat remains
b ehind. That is the spirit ii at should
be manifest at this time. Make other
people happy and those that are least
expecting to be happy.

A gentleman told us the ot2er day
that a certain country physician of
this county told him that he was feel
ing good and was looking cheerfully
al tie situation. He said the people
of his community had been good to
him and had contributed to his sue
cess and by their patronage and sup
port had enabled llim to accumulate
something. That he had little money
on hand and he was going TO use 1t
to live on until times got better and
he was not even going to ask any one
to pay a bill for his services at this
time. He knew they would pay If
tcey had it. If any one came along
and offered to pay anything he would
of course accept it. And that he was
going on serving those people just as
faithfully and honestly as he would
if they paid what they owed and If
they were going to pay promptly now.
He knew they would pay when they
got the money. He was not gong to
press any one for settlement. That
man is benefactor to his community
and tie people Of the community
should and will Stand by him and
when times get better he will get
every cent coming to him and he will
Rave even more now. That is the
spirit for every one who is in posi-
ton to do. it to exhibit. Most of
those who have money due will have
to wait and be patient and it is just
as we'll to do it in the Polly Anna
spirit. By the way this is a good
time to read Polly Anna. Let's start

GIFT GIVING SEASON.

We are fast approaching the season
of gift bearing. 1t is the season which
commentaries the greatest gift OF
God to man. For more than nineteen
hundred years it has been observed
as the time of peace on earth, good
will to men.
From the time when the wise men
saw the star in the east men tave
been taught to observe the Christmas
tide as peculiarly time when there
should be good cheer and there should
be giving of gifts and the making of
other leople happy.
1t IS time when We should forget
oar troubles and misfortunes and be
Cheerful! and happy over tie. celebra-
ton CT the event that commentaries
That greatest o. gifts to man.
There is no better way in which We
can celebrate it than in bearing gifts
to our friends and loved ones and those
who need our help and encourage
ment.
Let us forge. for the time being
what the price Of cotton is and that
there is a war ard refuse to hear the
cry of hard times, and go down street
and see the many pretty things and
useful things that will cost but little,
and buy some of them and carry them
to some home and to some one who
will be made happy thereby. 1t will
do all of US good.
A doll for the baby or the little girl,
some toy for the other children and
some useful thing for the grown up.
And then in your gift bearing Go not
neglect the poor whom ,ye have with
you always.
Walk out some afternoon or even
ing and look at the windows o. the
stores and see what pretty things the
merchants nave bought, and what use
ful things, and remember that Christ
mas is approaching and make your
selections as usual.
Let every one catch the spirit of the
season and be happy and determine to
make at least one other soul happy.
That is the spirit that should actuate
each one at this season.
