Terrific Cannonade Directed
Against YpreS, scissors and
Rheims Destroys Many
Houses, French Statement.

PARIS Nov. 23-Shells hurled up
on Ypres by the German artillery
have set fire TO the famous cathedral
of St Martin, the noted Halles. or
Cloth hall, and numerous houses. ac-
cOrding TO an official statement issued
here their afternoon. 1t states that
the Germans are directing their at
tacks against Ypres. against scissors
and against Rheims
In the Argonne region three at
tacks made by the Germans have
been repulsed.
The statement adds:
The day of yesterday was mark
ed by a violent cannonade. The
enemy directed mis- b. rs particularly
upon Ypres where IL = cathedral bel
fry halls and numerous houses were
set on fire and upon Scissors and up
on Rheims.
In the Argonne the day was very
warm. The enemy made three sharp
attacks which were repulsed.
In the Woevre region and in the
Vosges the situation is unchanged"
Fight i'm Bloody Angle"
The 'bloody angle" that elbow of
land bounded by the junction of the
Disc and Aisne rivers. has again been
the scene of furious fighting in which
That region marks the point where
the German lines lie nearest to Paris
and it is also the apex of the German
wedge upon French soil.
Heavy French artillery has been
bombarding the Ger<an trenches
north of SOissons and some of the
German works have been destroyed
1t is likely that the French and the
Algerian troops will make an effort to
storm the German lines >>ster the can
nOnade has been carried on to a suffi-
cient length to unnerve the in
vaders
Farther to the north. in the vicin-
ity of Ypres, there has also been a
recrudescence of activity, despite the
near-zerO weather which is prevailing
in West Flanders. The Germans seem
to have made a shift of troops in that
vicinity and have resumed their can
nonade with great violence.
The sound Of firing off the Belgian
coast was reported from Dunkirk.
This was probably British and French
warships, Smelling the German posi-
ti0ns. but the report stated that the
timbre of the firing was such as to in
Gicate that the artillery OF one side
was being answered by that of the
other.
Routine Hostility
Routine hostility" a word coined
at the headquarters of Gen. Gallieni,
describes the conditions between Yer
dun and TOul. Reports. that the
Germans have mounted a great num-
Der of heavy guns along the northern
coast Of Belgium between Ostend and
the Dutch frontier with their muzzles
pointing TO sea. These cannons have
been placed behind barricades which
were erected under fire from the war
ships off the coast. The works were
constructed with considerable loss Of
life.
1t was undoubtedly the intention Of
the Germans to mount a wall of steel
all along the Belgian coast TO prevent
the allies from landing their troops at
any point.

PETROGRAD, Nov. %. While
Russian and German armies are lock-
ed in a sanguinary conflict along the
entire front in Poland the czar' s
troops are continuing their strong Of
fensive in East Prussia. The Army
Messenger today announced the cap
ture OF GumbInnen, after d hot fight
in which cOsSacks rode down the Ger
man gunners and captured the bat
teries which were inflicting heavy
losses on the Russian troops
The stubborn nature of the Ger
man defense in East Prussia is shown
by the fact that it took the Russian
troops II days to cover the / % miles
between Gumbinnen and StallupOen-
en-. The capture of Gumbennin re-
quired five more days, in which des-
perate fighting took place.
The Army Messenger gives this de-
scriptiOn Of the capture Of Gumbin-
men which is Go miles east southeast
of KOenigsberg:
"The GeRmans had strongly in
trenched themselves at Gumbinnen
after obstinately resisting our advance
to that point. Their batteries inflicted
heavy losses upon our troops as they
advanced. on three successive days
our soldiers made direct assaults up

The capture of Gumbinnen is i'm

the chief railroad center Of East
Prussia. From Insterburg three roads
run north, three south. one east and
one west The western line runs di-

Barnhart Praises Work.
Workers were given an added IN
spiration by the reading of letter
from Congressman Barnhart on the
work. which follows in part:
The interesting and business-ltke
method YOU have adopted to dispense
charity in South Bend when and
where charity is needed will no doubt
appeal 10 all public spirited citizens
as a most practical course of pro-
cedure In charities. as in everything
else, a stitch in time usually saves
nine and in many instances a little
attention at the right time is the
means of helping deserving people TO
situations where they can help them
selves whereas otherwise such might
bcome public dependents Tor Ions
time.
My long experience with State
Charities and Corrections has fully
convinced me that We save at the
spigot and waste at the bunghOle when
we do not have a business-like char
ity organization in every town and
city in the state. There are times in
the lives Of men and women when
Just touch OF help saves them from
utter despair and from becoming de-
pendents
But misplaced or improperly ap-
piled charity usually results in more
harm and good. Therefore your
method OF putting business system in
To charity work of your city ought tC
meet with the hearty commentator
and the substantial support of all who
have care for the poor and the
needy.
