Woodward, Ia, Oct. 13.-Twenty-

business section of this city from be-

caused the blaze to spread rapidly
and when the local department real

control they sent a call to the con-

sponded quickly and did heroic work
in helping put out the flames.
The garage and thirteen autom0-

the fire were destroyed, as was tho
implement store of Stalker G. Sons
and the livery barn. The damage
is estimated at $4,000.

est interest in yesterdays continue
tion of the great conflict which al
ready has lasted twenty-nine days
The cavalry of both armies has
swept about the country for five
days, seeking to go through OF
around the opposing lines, and ev'
erywhere has encountered the for
ces of the enemy.
A successful ruse carried out by a
detachment of French infantry in
the vicinity of Lens is related in the
orders of the day. Having been or
dered to hold position the small
squad did so throughout the day,
but at dusk the detachment was
compelled to retire before an over
whelming force of Germans.
Reaching a country estate, the
French commander placed a number
of men in the last outlying houses
with orders to remain until they
heard the bugle call. The rest Of
the party took up a position a quar-
ter of mile further on in the open
country.
The Germans continued their pur-
suit without noticing the French
rifemen in the houses. A bugle
sounded and fire was opened both
on the front and on the rear of the
German force which, after losing
many men, retreated. The French
reoccupied their original positions
and saved the allies line from being
pierced.
A French noncommissioned officer
with seventy-two men who had
been forgotten at an entrenched adj
vance post, near Roye, saw 1000
Germans advancing, but the French
men did not bulge until their am
munition was spent. Then the Of
ficer ordered his men to retire
through a wood and he rejoined his
regiment with twenty of his COM
mand. He was promoted on the
field to be lieutenant as his stand
had permitted reinforcement Of
the allied line at a critical moment.
The weather, except for some chill
illness is favorable for military OPP
erations. The men occupying expos
ed trenches have recovered from the
damp spell. Trench duty in the
siege operations is now thoroughly
The din continues all
the time and the trenches of the op-
posing approach to within 100
yards of each other at some places.
The men in these bitches, especially
along the line from Rheims to the
Meuse, have been inactive often dur
ing the past few days and voices Of
ten ring out from the shelters, call
ing upon one another to come out
and fight.
Some of the men became very dar-
ing, the life in the burrows with
the occasional turn at rifle firing be-
ing SO monotonous that they go out
in search of adventure. One party
