LETTERS TO EDITOR
Livingston Citizens Kind

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Please allow me space in your paper to express a small measure of the grati- tude which we of the Normal school, Stu dents. faculty and myself, feel towards our friends. the good people of Living ston, for their great hospitality and as sistance to us at the time of our great less by fire.
 It is impossible to fully express in words the liberality of the people of the town who opened their homes, shared their clothing, contributed money and other things, and cared for our students Nho were in great distress. Our hearts go out in gratitude for the many kind nesses we have received; Tor in all my experience I have never seen such gen erosity The loyalty of the town to the school has never been so evident as in the present crisis. Personally, I have never seen any school so well sustained by a community as ours has been in this great ordeal.
 The patrons of the school throughout the state will share with us in rendering to the people of our town their apprecia- ton of the protection thrown around their children
 Thanking you for the privilege of mak- ing these statements I am yours very truly, c. W. BROCK,
 President State Normal School.

 STILL CONF F|DENT
Tremendous Battle of Mill lions of Men Continues. Refuse to Attach Im-
 pOrtance to Setback

Paris, October 6.-(7:01 a. m. ] Despite the official announcement that the allies had yielded somewhat, con fidence today in the ultimate success of the French and English in the great action on the left wing of the battle front in northern France has not diminished. Meanwhile the tremendous battle of millions of men continues.
 North of the Disc" has appeared for the first time in war office state ment Till now all the combatants fought on the right bank of the Disc river and have been mentioned either in the region of Rove or between the Somme and the Disc.
 There is much conjecture on the phase of fighting in that vicinity, which can have a greatly varied inn portance. Military critics refuse 10 at tach importance to the setback or yielding of territory.
 Lieutenant Colonel Rousset of the eptit Parisiene cites the fact that Ma pcleon Bonaparte at Marengo had to
 
 Austrians which did not prevent him from finding there one of his most brilliant victories.
 The familiarity of the French with tho territory is frequently of consid- erable advantage to them. Marshes of St Gond near the Petit Morin river are solid in the dry season and the Germans here had made preparations Ter a surprise attack. The night before s heavy rain made the swamp lake and turned the position to the dis advantage of the Germans.
 The French merely stuck to their positions and while the enemy was In distress in the soggy ground annihil- atcd large numbers with their artillery fine.
 A force of go architects and engi- nccrs and 5000 workers is ready to repair damage in the war zone. The Institute of France. an association Of the members of the French Academies of Art, Science and Letters, met yes terday to consider excluding German assistants and correspondents. The question was not decided
