GERMANS RENEW ATTACK
ON LINES OF ALLIES

Late dispatches from the
Eastern war zone indicate that
the Germans have renewed their
offensive in the vicinity of Ypres
and Dixmude. where several at
tempts to break through the
Allied lines to the coast of
France were repulsed after the
most severe fighting of the war.
Despite the losses the Austro-
German armies have suffered
in the east, where the Russians
have set their feet on German
territory, the Germans are said
to be still sending reinforcements
to the west in an endeavor to
break down the resistance of
the French, British and Belgians.
There has been no decisive
action along the whole front.
but each side is making gains
which may count when the crisis
is at hand. With the tremendous
forces opposing each other, any
progress necessarily must be
slow, but both the Allies and the
Germans express satisfaction
with the way in which the battle
has gone thus far.
In the east the Russian ad-
vance guards are fighting on
both the East Prussian and
Posen borders and it is believed
that the Germans have given up
their first plan of resisting the
Russians advance on the posi-
tions which they had prepared
along the Warthe River.
According to a German report.
the Russians have suffered a
reverse on the East Prussian
frontier, where they lost 1000
men and some machine guns.
but of the fighting elsewhere in
this region Berlin says nothing.
There have been no develop
ments in the Near East, the
engagements fought being be-
tween Russian and Turkish
frontier guards in the Caucasus
or the bombardment of ports.
The slackness in recruiting in
England has been given flip
by the marches of some of the
crack territorial regiments and
Tuesdays procession through
the streets of London in con-
nection with the Inauguration of
the Lord Mayor, in which
Canadian and other Dominion
troops took part.

incidents Of Tuesdays Fire.

The last disastrous fire in Fort
Mill was in 1894. when the en-
tire business district south of
Main street was swept away.
Fire in 1883 swept away the
business houses on the identical
spot on which Tuesdays fire
occurred.
The only fatality of Tuesday
nights fire was the brindle office
cat of the Mills & Young COM
pany. Tom" was found be-
meath the stove. where he
evidently died of suffocation.
That Fort Mill has real
waterworks system was demon
straied Tuesday night when the
water was thrown far above and
beyond the burning buildings.
Several men rendered helpless
by the use OF iirewater, but this
did moi come through the pipes
OF the new water system.
The entire citizenship of the
town is due vote of thanks to
the prompt response Of the Rock
Hill fire company. True, the
company did not arrive until a
belated hour, but they did
effective work after reaching
town.
Some men who are considered
nervy" under ordinary cir
eumstanees are absolutely nerve
less in cases of fire.
Distribution of 'pied' type
will be the order of the day in
The Times Office for the next

Only two streams were avail
able from the new water system

twice as many the fire would

Besides the reen(orcements from this country,
the Government has decided that our army
IN France Shall be increased by troops from
India, who are now On their way. All the
wastage in France is being filled up by
men waiting for that purpose The
Earl of Crewe said that the wonderful
enthusiasm and loyalty now being evjnced
in India were due to the Indians
desire that Indian soldiers should stand be-
side the British India was aware Of the
French employment Of African troops, aud
would be disappointed if Hiudus We're de
barred from participating in the war IN Eu-
rope. Our army, he continued, viii thus
be re-enforced by high-souIed soldiers of
first rate training, and [ am certain they
will give the best possible account OF them
selves. India's desire to cooperate Is no
less gratifying than the same desire Of our
self-gOverning douinions, whose soldiers
viii fight beside The British and Indian
troops. The Indian reservoir Is, however
not inexhaustible, and the defeuse of India
Itself must be our primary consideration.
External aggression is hardly possible, and
internal troubles are altogether impoSei-
BILE under the present enthusiasm Shown
by all classes and races, for example,
Yesterday the Nlceroy reported that the
principal Indian Princes had contributed
fifty lakhs OF rupees fer the use OF
the troops, aud there have been mauy
similar offers, upon a vary ING scale. | be-
lieve therefore lhat the action we take VIII
be approved by Parliament and the British
people"
Mr.. Asquith has seat letters 10 the Mayors
of four cities, saying: The time has arrived
to stimulate and organize effort and opinion
IN this, the greatest conflict IN which our
people have ever engaged. No one capable
of contributing anything is justified in
standing aside.
L propose, as a first step the holding Of
meetings without delay, not only IN the
great centres Of population and industry,
but every district, urban and rural, through
out the United Kingdom, at which the
Justice Of our cause and every mans duty
should be set forth. l Will help 50 far as
