The most important step forward in
the safety first movement In the past
year so far as Hattiesburg is con-

Jon all the street cars of the Traction
lCompany, announced Saturday. Late
AAturday afternoon life guard, con-
Esisting of patent drop gate and trig-
ger in front Of the wheels, installed on
one of the cars, was given practical
demonstration and rigid test on
West Pine street and was declared
satisfactory by the officials of the CON-
pany and the order has been given
for enough of the gates to equip every
car in the city with the safety devices.
Safety First Motto.
Safety first regardless of the cost"
will be the motto for the mechanical
department of the Traction company
said B. NJ. Smith Saturday. The gates,
however, will prove to be economical
in the long run, because they
will save the company many damage
suit. Pedestrians have learned to be
careful in crossing the street car
tracks, but animals, particularly hogs
in the suburbs have no idea of danger
and every few days a street car Kills
a hundred-dollar razorback.
The new life guard is the lib,
manufactured by the Consolidated Ca
Fender company of New York, and is
Z the same as is used by the New Yorl

London, Oct 5.-The fact that fight
ing is in progress between Arras and
on the railroad to Mons
is taken in London to show that the al
lies have pushed forward in the gen.
eral movement to turn the German
right. --,~ .sSz2s,
For d week the Germans have been
hurting themselves at this line with
the hope Of finding weak place, and
now General Joffre believes the time
has arrived for the allies to take the
offensive again. NF-
This afternoons official French an
nouncement said fierce battle y
waging ON the allies left and while the
result is still indecisive, the allies have
been forced to yield ground at some
points. Along the remainder Of the
long battle front the situation is un-
changed, says the report.
The German official report Of last
night said the German plans are being
successfully carried out. 1t Is further
announced that the report that there
was no fighting yesterday near Ant
werp has been supplemented later by
an official statement saying the three
forts OF Antwerp with their redoubts
have been taken making entry into the
city possible.
At Souissons, which is on the west
ern end of the battle line in France,
the German trenches have been cap
tured but the Germans continue to
fight fiereely and are still attacking at
this point with success. German head
quarters announce that the French
! say their attacks are failing.
