Allies Near Arras.

London, Oct. 4.-The significant fact
mentioned in the French war office
statement issued tonight in Paris was
that detachment of the allies which
came out from Arras had fallen back
toward the east and north of that
city" II also was announced that in
the vicinity OF st. Mihiel, 20 miles
southeast of Verdun, the Germans had
evacuated the left bank of the Mouse.
According to announcement made
In Berlin the great battle In France
is still undecided. The Germans are
described as hammering the French
positions at numerous points by their
heavy artillery.
The attempts OF the allies to break
through the German lines have been
repulsed. The heaviest losses have
been in the Argonne region. The
Germans continue TO make steady
progress.
The fighting In France, the siege OF
Antwerp and the offensive operations
under General Won Hindenberg, all
going on at the same time, are taken
In Berlin to indicate that the German
army is not lacking in men.
The battle of the Aisne, as It is
still called, although the armies con-
tending in It have spread far beyond
that river, now has been In progress
Just three weeks.
Reports from Paris earlier in the
week that the allies operations were
about to succeed were premature.
From all appearances there must be
more hard fighting before either side
gives way.
The heaviest blows are being given
and taken in the western area, where.
according to today's French official
communication, an extremely violent
battle continues, especially in the
Roye district, where the Germans
have concentrated considerable forces.
The communication added that the
action was extending more and more
northward and that the fighting front
now extended to the district south of
Arras.
This, apparently, was a modest &C
count OF the northWard advance of
the French, for private kilograms re-
ceived in London tonight announced
that the French actually had reached
Arras. Stubborn resistance is being
offered by the Germans in the vicinity
of Roye. where earlier in the week
they succeeded in occupying the
heights which, however, they later
were compelled to abandon.
Along the front from the Disc IN
the Mouse rivers, according to the
French report, only partial operations
have been attempted by either side.
Frontal attacks by the allies, as a mat.
ter of fact, have been discontinued,
while the TANKS are fighting for as.
cendancy.

A popular member of a certain
school board tells a good story of
certain schoolboy who enjoys the
unique distinction Of having attended
one school for IL years without being
once absent or late. In evidence OF
this, the youth is the proud owner OF
IL medals. When the eleventh medal
was conferred the boys mother was
asked whether her son ever had any
illness.
"Oh, yes" she replied.
"Measles?"

but according to an official French war
office statement issued tonight de-

was forced back by the Germans. al
though it kept a position to the east
and north of that city.
The activity about Arras shows the
extent to which the fighting in the
western area of the battle Of the Aisne
has been pushed northward by the
allies in their turning movement on
the German right wing. The allies
forces now are about thirty miles
from the Belgian border.
