TORPEDO VS.. SUBMARINES
Battle In the North.

Paris, october 2l.-The outcome OF
the battle in the north, according to
the judgment of observers i'm Paris,
still remains undecided and the furi-
Gus contest in this part of Belgium
and France, is regarded here as hav-
ing reached its height. The Ger
mans, who first apparently yielded
to the offensive allies, now are fore
ing to their maximum the lines of
the French and English. In this the
Germans are assisted by troops from
Antwerp and all other German
forces available in Belgium. The
allies, however, are apparently fight
ing with the greatest ardor and de-
termination to take the important
City OF Lille, despite the extraor-
dinary resistance OF the enemy.
Attacks Were Repulsed.
Washington, October 21.-The Ger.
man embassy announced the receipt
of the following wireless from Ber-
lin: "Official headquarters report
October 20 that the German troops
advancing along the coast from Os-
tend met hostile forces near Nieu-
port on the User. Fighting has been
going en- since October Is west of
Lille. The attacks of the enemy on
October 10 were repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy. From Russia
there is no important news"
Couldn't Break the Circle.
London, October 21.-A dispatch
from Bordeaux says "on Tuesday the
Germans made another great effort
to burst the narrow circle of steel
now hemming them in. They tried
vainly at no fewer than six points to
discover a weak spot on the allied
front, the main effort being made at
La Bassee."

London, October 12.-Com-
parison of official reports fro m
Paris and Berlin leads to the con-
clusion that all along the western
battle front in France and Belgium,
the Germans have resumed the
offensive. but with their efforts
directed against the allies left.
News supplementing these official
communications, however, indi-
Gates that on the left at least the
allies are not acting merely IN the
defensive. A great turning move
ment is undoubtedly developing
through the corner of Belgium
bounded by France and the sea,
but the public remains in a haze
as to whether the turning move
ment is one on the part of the
allies to get around the German
right flank or the German opera
tons to envelope the allies left.

Sharp, dartihg pains from the hips

the great sciatic nerve and creates a
free movement OF the muscles and
joints. 1t stimulates the kidneys, liv-
er. bowels and skin to extra work in
throwing Oft the irritating poisons

leopards for a lair-and the inside Of

proof.
The Singhalese had often told me
that leopards do not attempt to climb
trees In search Of their prey.
Whenever monkeys see a leopard
sinking under the trees they become
excited and all chatter AS soon as
the leopard hears this he lies down
under bush and begins to click his
teeth.

AT the same moment became
aware OF tremendous chattering OF
monkeys In the distance. I had a
singhalese with me and we crept
through the thick jungle toward the
