they were used only for scouting
and outpost service. The Russians
used many cossacks In their main at
tacks.
THE Russian bases were at Wilma
and Grondo and they attacked in
great force both these directions.
Our troops retreated before them
until they had passed the Masur
lakes. Then. with the help of rein
forcements we outflanked both their
columns and turned them in on the

the terrible fighting which took
place in the valley of the Somme.
The correspondent says: Movements
hitherto concealed or vaguely hinteo
are now unveiled and the frontal at
tack of the allies on the German po-
sition between the Oise and. the Ar
gonne now sink into the back
ground.
One thing is certain and that is
that the German armies are in po-
sition of the gravest danger. The
allies have succeeded In threatening
both flanks of the enemy simultan-
oously and he is compelled to fight
for his life. Fle may succeeded in
eNtricating his force intact, for he is
still formidable In every way. To
save himself he can hardly maintain
his center on his present position
and it looks as II he will unfailingIy
have to retire in order to withdraw
himself from the grip OF the all
lies claws II he is unable to do
this he is beaten and 1t will be .only

Antwerp. Sept. 3O.-An official
statement Issued by the Belgian gen.
eral staff today says:
"A vigorous German bombardment
of Forts Woelham, Wavre and st.
Catherine, which was continued
throughout the night, abated at s
o'clock this morning. The assailants
did not succeed in silencing the guns
or the Belgian forts nor In any way
lowering the morale of the garrisons
of the forts.
AT no point did the German in
fantry dare move against our first
lines OF defense. Only one attempt
was directed against Forts Leizele
and BreedOnk. Our troops, holding
positions between these works, al
lowed the enemy to advance until
they were in close range, when the
artillery and infantry, working in n
remarkable combination, showered
the attacking column with a hail of
projectiles and bullets which threw
their ranks into disorder and COM
PEELED a precipitate retreat. This at
temrt cost the Germans dearly. and
was not repeated. In short. the
events of the day confirm the con-
fidence of the Belgians in the power
of resistance on their national re-
doubts"

Pretty and Well Deserved Com
pliment.

That the Natchitoches people are the
most responsive and appreciative PEG.
pie under the sun, was again demon
strated most conclusively the oth5r day
when the request was made of the tel
ephone subscribers to send gift to a
certain place by certain time so that
shower could be given the faithful
head operator Miss Elaine Jones whose
marriage to Mr.. j. Dezendorf was to
take place day or two later.
The response was so generous that
it required an immense car to take. the
packages to their destination and rare
ly is an honoree more surprised or de-
lighted than was Miss Elaine when the
great shower descended upon her. In
addition to the daintiest of lingerie,
silk hose, waists, bed and table linen
DISHES, cut glass, hand-painted china
ami everything else needed by young
couple just starting out in life, a bag
containing 81 bright new silver dollars
was presented and the fair honoree
was so overcome that she could hardly
express her thanks and appreciation.
During the years that the young
lady served as central, she was always
courteous, polite and painstaking in the
discharge of her duty and it was
pretty compliment that the patrons
showed their just appreciation in this
substantial manner and it could not
have been bestowed more worthily or
appreciatively.
