PARIS.

"In Belgium, in spite of the violent
attacks on the part Of the enemy, the
Belgian army has held its position on
the line of the river User.
There have been other actions in
the region of Ypres between the allied
forces operating in this territory and
the forces of the enemy.
"On our left wing the Germans CON
tinue to hold strongly their advance
posts around Lille in the direction of
Armentieres, FOurnes and La Bassee.
"On the Meuse the enemy has en-.
deavored in vain to drive back the
advance posts of our troops, who have
moved out along the right bank of
this stream in the peninsula of the
Camp Des Romans.
ITO sum up, during the day of Oct
IS we have made progress at various
points on the front.
The day has been characterized bv
an effort on the part of the Germans
along all parts Of the front, to the
extreme north where the Belgian army
has held remarkably; at La Bassee. |
where the German troops have al.
tempted an offensive movement of
particular violence; to the north of
Arras; at Mametz, between Peronne |
and Albert; at Vauquois, to the east
of the Argonne, and finally on the |
heights OF the Meuse and in the re |
gion of Champion.
Everywhere the German attacks
have been repulsed."

Assault Fails TO Break Allies
Main Line Of Defense.
BELGIANS CHECK INVADERS
Berlin Announces Capture Of Some
Outlying Positions Near Verdun as
Prelude to Main Bombardment.

That the allies are frustrating the
attempt of the reinforced extreme
right wing Of the German army t.
skirt the English channel ports, with
the supposed object OF finding a new
route to Paris, is indicated by the lat
est dispatches from the seat of war.
The Belgian army is maintaining
its position on the River User and
all German attacks have been re
pulsed.
Further actions are being fought
between the allies and the Germans
in the region of Ypres. From Ypres
the allied left wing extends to the
English channel, where it is being
supported by British naval forces.
Along the remainder of the 800
mile battle front stretching from the
North Sea to Switzerland, where the
defenders and the invaders have been
deeply intrenched 81 days, there has
been renewed activity. In the re-
gion of the Meuse river heavy fight
ing goes on necessarily, principally
in the vicinity OF Camp Des Romans.
The Belgian minister in London has
no confirmation Of the reports that
the allies have reoccupied Ostend
but in any case the Germans hold on
that seaport must be somewhat pre-
carious if the allies retain the posi-
tions assigned to them in the latest
French official statement. Should the
allies push their wedge beyond Rou
lers, where its point rested on Mon
day, Ostend woulI be in considerable
danger Of being cut off from the rest
OF The German army.
The Germans are making great ef- /
forts to break through their oppo- /
nets lines in the neighborhood OF /
Arras, where the fighting has pro.
ceeded for ten days without a respite /
In Alsace the French troops have f.
almost reached the outlet Of the val
Ieys leading to the plains of the river
III, which flows north through Al
SAGE and empties into the Rhine. The
French now consider that they are
irmly established in Alsace on terri
.ory doubly dear to them. Word has
been received also that the Germans

BERLIN.

After several weeks Of desperate
resistance our troops have captured
some of the forts surrounding Yer.
dun. This opens the way for an attack
on the main fortifcations, and prepa
rations for this are now being made.
"The situation in the west shows
no change. The remnant of the Bel.
gian army is opposing our Antwerp
army near the coast. The French and
British troops, apparently worn out bv
their efforts to check our advance
are leaving the burden Of the conflict
to the Belgians, who are showing
great bravery.
"The enemy in this theater of war
seems to have exhausted his reinforce
ments and to have weakened his line
by extending it in the ort to keen
our troops from the coast.
"The Germans advancing along the
coast from Ostend met hostile forces
at the User river, near Nieuport.
where fighting has been going on
since last Sunday.
Tuesday the attacks Of the enemy
west Of Lille were repulsed, the enemy
suffering heavy losses"

HIS SOTH BIRTH DAY.

Yesterday, June 30th 1914, was
Major F. w. r. Nance's birthday
and marked his eightieth mile post.
Major Nance is still quite healthy
for his age and really doesn't look to
be over sixty-eight or seventy years
of age. -
All his life the Major has been a
figure in politics. Long before he
ran for office he was prominent in all
county conventions. He was one OF
the pioneers of the Tillman move
ment, and about that time was elect
ed County Commissioner. Later ne
ran for Sheriff, and was elected. He
served in that Office until he tired OF
the service, and didn't offer for re-
election. .
When the Blease movement was
first taking root, he took place in the
Blease ranks, not with any hope OF
purpose of political %preferment, but
for the mere love of politics.
y The Major is a reformer by nature,
he is going on the general principle
that frequent changes in public policy
keeps the party purified. We do not
know his views on reforming a refor'
nation.
g. - -
Major Nance has many friends IN
Abbeville County and over the State
) He is himself a loyal friend, and an
honest hater, knowing no Middle
ground.
The Press e. Banner wishes for the
Major many happy returns OF his
birthday.
