Paris.-The following official com
munication was issued here: There
is nothing new to report, except that
there has been lively engagement in
the region of Roye, where, in the last
two days, we have captured sixteen
hundred prisoners"
London.-Belgium once again IS the
center Of military interest, for not only
is her army battling for its life behind
the fortresses at Antwerp, but the long
battle line in France has struggled
northward until it has crossed her
frontier at Armentieres and yet may
Join the beleaguered Belgians.
According to German report re-
ceived by wireless from Berlin, rail
way and telegraphic communication
with Antwerp is interrupted. 1t was
reported also that the king ,of the Bel
gians had been slightly wounded.
Antwerp Forts Are Destroyed
The severing Of communication had
been expected, for the Germans had
been directing their attacks at points
of ingress to and egress from the city
and at the same time dropping shells
into the town itself. A portion Of the
town is reported to have been de-
stroyed. The 42-centimeter guns made
short work CT the great Brialmont
forts and lesser ones are now engag-
ed in destroying the city, which, under
the provisions Of The Hague conven-
ton, was given due notice before the
bombardment commenced.
The military fortunes Of Gen. Won
Kluck and his one-armeD Dadversary,
commanding the allies cavalry, rap.
idly are being made or marred within
sight Of the North sea, which sets a
limit to the outhanking movements,
the accomplishment Of which for so
long has been the supreme goal of the
rival generals.
Russians Holding Their Own
Petrograd.-An unofficial communl-
cation issued from general headquar-
ters says:
1.-The fighting on the East Prussian
: frontier continued on October with
the same ferocity In spite of German
reinforcements all their attacks in the
region of Wirballen (Russian Poland)
and Philipoff have been repulsed with
great losses. BY night assault the
Russian troops have captured the vii
lage of Kamenka, near Bakalargewo.
"In the forest of Massalstchizna
west Of Ratchka, our troops in a night
attack surrounded a German detach-
ment which was partly exterminated,
the others being dispersed, abandon
ing their rapid firers.
Russian troops have also captured
the town of Biala Tin Galicia, 43 miles
west.southwest Of Cracow) In other
regions there is nothing of importance
to record.
I'm the attack against the PTzemsyl
garrison conditions are in our favor,
our troops capturing by assault a
strong fortifcation, constituting one OF
the principal positions.

British Airships Raid Germany

London.-The following official
statement was issued covering an at
tack by a British air squadron on g.
German airship shed at Dusseldorf.
"The secretary of the admiralty an
nounces that Squadron Commando
Grey reports that, as authorized, he
carried out with Lieut.. R. L. G. Mark
and Lieut.. S. V. Sippe, successful at,
tack on a Dusseldorf airship shed.
Lieutenant Marks bombs, dropped
from height of 500 feet, hit the she'd
went through the roof and destroyed
Zeppelin.
Flames were observed 500 feet
high, the result Of the igniting Of the
gas of an airship.
"All three officers are safe, but their
aeroplanes have been lost.
1.-The feat would appear to be in ev-
cry respect remarkable, having regard
to the distance of over one hundred
miles penetrated into country held by
the enemy and to the fact that a pre-
vious attack had put the enemy on
their guard and enabled them to mount
anti-aircraft guns.
May Force Turkey Into War
Washington.-The alternative the
Ottoman empire faces as to whether
the Dardanelles are to be swung open
in answer to the demand of the triple
entente or whether the key to the
Black sea is to remain in Turkish pos
session promises to force the porte to
join the European struggle, according
to opinion expressed in diplomatic cir
cles here. At the Turkish embassy it
was admitted that it might prove high
ly embarrassing to the sultan to be
forced to commit himself on such a
request. Officials stated that unless
no other course was open it was high
ly unlikely that Turkey would submit
to a change in it's policy because Of
outside influence.
Russians RepuIse Germans
Petrograd-The general staff has
given out the following official COM
munication
"The Russian troops have continued
to repulse the enemy from the bounda-
ries of the governments of Suwalki and
Lomza The engagement has been
very fierce west Of Symno.
"The German troops that were at.
tacking Ossowetz are retreating hast1-
ly to the north. Considerable forces of
the enemy, of which the bulk arrived
from the west, are concentrating in
the districts west Of the governments
Of Piotrkow and Kielce.
"The Russian cavalry and vanguard
are reconnoitering energetlcally
through all that regiro. impeding
through vigorous attas the move
ment of the enemy.
''An attack by the Russian cavalry
against the German vanguard in front
Of Andrew, and marching on Kielce,
was crowned with great success. The
German infantry was caught unawares
and is retreating in disorder, pursued
by the Russian cavalry.

Gen. Won MoItke Not Removed

Rome.-Inquiries made in German
military circles with regard to reports
that Gen. Won Moltke had been remov-
ed as chief of the general staff~of the
German army, brings forth the state
ment that the report is incorrect. The
report, it is declared, probably was
caused by the change of officers made
in the German quartermaster generals
department, where Gen. Won Voight-
Rhetz was appointed to succeed Gen.
Won Stein. Gen. Won Moltke retains
his post

Pleasant Grove News

E1qene Talley, who has been
confined to his bed for the past
six weeks, is reported better at
this writing.
Rev. J.. E. Foster preached at
this place last Sunday, fulfilling
the proclamation of President
Wilson for prayer day for peace
in the European nations.
Pickens county still has men
who can't attend to their own
business. They have to get out
and look after their neighbors'
affairs and try to pull him into
trouble.
It seems that every money
power is trying to help the farm
er with the low price Of cotton,
though I have not noticed where
the guano companies have made
a move to help the man that
bought the fertilizer from him
last spring with the expectation
of getting 10 or l2 cents for the
cotton that was raised this year.
But it is the general rule for the
farmer to be caught in the hole
when there is catching done. SO
we would be glad to hear from
some of the guano companies on
that matter. I notice in The
Sentinel where they are asking
him to SOW more grain and use
moro of their fertilizer. Now,
Mr.. Guano Man, how can a man
buy your goods at your prices
and pay for them and sell his
cotton at 7 cents per pound and
have anything left for the sup
port of his family? This is the
trying point in this matter, so
we would be glad to hear from
some one interested in the farm
er's behalf. A FARMER.

In 1887 one Of them maintained that
a difference should DO made between
a wife being subject to authority and
to oppression. Oppression he wished
by law TO prevent, but "to say that q

she should in any way be Independent
Of him, would be absurd"
It was first sought to give relief to
the innocent mothers who were sep

men to have access on petition to their
