London, Oct. II. 1910 A. MA COM
parison Of the official reports from
Paris and Berlin leads to the conclu-
sion that all along the western battle
front in France and Belgium, the Ger
mans have resumed the offensive. but
with their supreme efforts directed
against the allies left.
The news supplementing these off,
eial communications, however. indi-
Gates that on the left "a least the al
lies are not acting merely on the de-
fensive.
The great turning movement un-
doubtedly is developing through the
corner of Belgium bounded by France
and the sea, but the public remains III
a haze as to whether the turning
movement is one on the part of the
allies to get around the German right
flank or a German operation to cnvel-
OPP the allies left.
The impression grows that the Ger
mans are determined to add punkirk
to the line of seaports now held along
the Belgian coast and the allies are
making desperate efforts to hurl PACK
the invaders. Late reports through
Dutch sources declare that the Ger
mans have been repulsed six miles
from Ostend and that guns are now
heard near that city. Other late re-
ports. which lack confirmation, state
that the Germans have abandoned
iBruges. If these reports are true, 1t
would indicate that the allies are
meeting with some success in their
efforts to re- occupy the sea coast.
The movements along the coast con-
tinue to be more or less in the nature
of "Reminiscences, while the aim OF
the fighting on the allies left centers
around Lille, which is because it's rail-
road and highway connections are OF
vital strategic Importance to the Ger
mans. From Lille two roads run out
to the west--one northerly to Armen-
tiers and the other southerly to
Fournes through a country which IS
enclosed and thiclzly populated.
The French report contents itsei..
with the assertion that these roads
are held by strong forces of Germans
while tine Berlin communication claims

antee Trust Co, of New York with
claim for heavy damages on the
ground that the liner failed to de-
liver abroad millions of gold coin
which the trust company had shipped
for a specific purpose.
When the liner raced more than
1000 miles back across the Atlantic to
avoid what the captain deemed ex-
IRENE danger of capture by hostile
warships, this coin was saved but tbs
delivery was indefinitely postponed
and a special train was made up to
haul the precious metal back to New
York Passengers departed from, the
premier summer resort of the Maine
coast, their intimate associations with
the complications brought about
through the outbreak of hostilities on
the European continent giving them
an experience likely long to linger i'll
their memory.
u. s. Marshal Wilson left at 1.20 Thurs
day morning for Bar Harbor and will
arrive at today to arrange for the trip
on that end and take possession of the
ship which has had keeper aboard sew
eral weeks. He will be accompanied by
flee who will serve papers on the captain
as soon as the ship is within the jurisdic-
ton of the Massachusetts district court.
This will relieve Marshal Wilson of re-
sponsibility but action against the ship
and the North German Lloyd Co., owners,
until a formal dissolution is decreed by
an order entered here. Suits in Massa-
ehusetts will be in full force then. 1T has
been provided with the utmost caution
for protection against any slip in the
plan to deliver the liner into another
harbor. In fact there is agreement among
all parties that the transfer shall be pa
cifc a gentlemens agreement in every
detail.
Aside from the daily tax for water $40,
and occasional visits of officers and men
commercial benefit has accrued in that
vicinity during the last few weeks. There
are more than 600 men aboard the liner
but their wages are small and they have
but meager funds for spending money
when on shore leave
Close watch has been kept by a revenue
cutter and torpedoboat during the time
she has been there and this most UNI
usual incident has now reached it's last
stages.
In moving the cecilie, it is understood
no attempt will be made to keep within
the three-mile limit, or within federal
waters, but the ship will be headed for
the most direct route to Boston.
No interference In the progress of the
craft is anticipated, 1t being understood

Germany have acquiesced in the plans

ed. 1t is, naturally. the allied conten-
ton that the outcome of the German
advance on the coast towns, now
seemingly in allegiance, will be rep
etition of the German sweep on Paris;
that is, it will end with a retreat. All
reports, however agree that the Ger
mans are bringing up all their avail
able reinforcements and that Ii Will
require an effort as great as any yet
made since the opening of hostilities
to make them withdraw.
All reports that the allies had re-
taken Ostcnd proved incorrect and
not much faith is placed in the dis
patches saying that they had occupied
Bruges.
Available dispatches afford no new

London, Oct. 81, 1.45 P. M.-While
England today paid homage to Nelson
on this, the anniversary of the battlte
of Trafalgar, the forces of Germany
and the allies continued 10 fight back
and forth along the battle line in
Trance and Belgium, to the south
from trenches. woods and villages
and to the north over web of water
ways. the presence of which seems
likely to give the struggle there the
name of the battle of canals.
1t was strarge coincidence that
Britons learned on Trafalgar day for
the first time officially that the British
feet was cooperating with the allied
army on the French coast and the I'M
usual number of wreaths placed on
the Nelson monument were indicative
ci an expectancy that the day posi-
bly, might be marked with cheering
news for the admirals countrymen.
What progress, if any, has been
made by either side in the vicinity and
south of Ostend is rot disclosed in the
latest Paris official communication,
which contented itself with saying
that the Belgians are resisting attacks
along the User. But it was noteworthy
that no progress anywhere was claim

Bangor, Me-, Oct: 21.--News has
reached Bangor from Burlington of a
desperate battle between a wounded
and Infatuated bear and Arthur M
Neal of Lowell, Mass, in which the
sportsman eventually succeeded in
killing the enraged animal, but only
after he had been severely wounded
by the claws of the beast and had
nearly all Of his clothes ripped Off
The encounter was a most unusual
one and shows that the element OF
danger is not entirely lacking on hunt
ing expeditions into the Maine woods.
Mr.. Neal has been visiting his broth
er at Burlington, and one day recent
ly he went to Madawaska lake on a
fishing trip. After putting in the day
there, he started back to Burlington,
walking carefully through the woods
without much thought Of game, de-
spite the fact that he carries a shot
gun against the chance of running in
to some partridge.
He had gone some distance when he
was attracted by a noise not far away
through the forest. Looking up, he
saw a large bear, which showed no
disposition to either attack or run
away, without thinking that his wea-
pom was a light one for such big game.
Mr.. Neal raised his piece to his Shout
der and fired. The charge took effect

ACTIVE OFF The
BELGIAN COAST

London. Oct. ala newspaper eorre-
spondent at Dover has sent to London
some details of the recent operations OF
the British warships off the coast of Bel
GUM. He says that last Saturday night
the ships watched a force of Germans
digging trenches along the coast under
a flare of lights. This enabled the Eng
fish boats to get the exact range and at
daylight they shelled the enemy's posi-
lions heavily. A Taube aeroplane was
brought down and later a Zeppelin, and
it is declared that the guns of the Brit
ish vessels accounted for 1900 Germans
in killed and wounded, In addition to
putting six batteries of artillery out of
action. In the meantime German SUBJ
marines tried in vain to sink the British
ships. This dispatch is not confirmed by
