Claim General Successes.

Successes for the allies all along the
line are reported in official dispatches
to the French embassy here, which
were announced last night as follows:
"Of the army Of the Duke of Wurt-
temburg and the Crown Prince of Ba-
varia on a front opposed by one Eng
lish brigade. 1000 corpses were found
ION the heights of the Highway des
Danes it is estimated that the num-
ber of killed and wounded Germans
is about 1000. although ours only
reached about 100 men. killed or
wounded.
"Other attacks on different parts of
our front. particularly at the north and
the south of the Somme and toward
Berry-au-Bac. were less important.
Reports state that everywhere the
enemy has received serious check. In
the course of the day yesterday, as
previously, the allied troops took a
number of prisoners. In the region of
the north an unknown number Of
mitrailleuses and cannon were taken
by our troops.

GERMANS. HEAVILY REINFORCED.
EXPECTED TO RENEW ASSAULTS

3. LONDON, October 20. 2:02 p.m.-The
onslaughts of the armies battling for
mastery in the Belgian marsh lands
still lack the force necessary to score
a victory. Neither side has yet accom-
plished its purpose. The Germans
have not reached the French coast nor
have the allies frustrated their deter
mination to attain this goal. Neverthe-
less such scraps Of reliable informa-
ton as reach London are taken by
British observers to indicate that the
advantage at this stage rests " ith the
allied troops.
The German assent to this is. OF
course only negative in character. and
takes the shape of confession Of fall
ure to achieve their object to break
through the defense Of their opponents.
Seeking a Fresh Lineup.
That the reported lull in the fighting
in this region is only momentary is
taken for granted, but up to the present
time no news of renewal Of the Ger
man offensive has come to hand. Both
sides seem to be endeavoring to line up
afresh, and accounts from all sources
agree that the Germans are only await
ing additional troops to resume the bold
thrust which insufficiency of forces thus
far has prevented them from carrying
through.
Meanwhile the allied commanders,
both individually and collectively. are
informing their worldwide audience
that their forces are always taking a
little more the offensive. and they In
innate that 1t won't be long before
they substitute an attack on the Ger
man positions in Belgium for the Ger
man attack on the allied positions in
the north Of France. If this occurs
there will recommence then series OF
siege battles for the German fntrench-
ments which gridiron Belgium from its
southern boundary to the Luxembourg
frontier.
Allies Holding Their Ground.
The fourteenth day Of the battle Of
West Flanders, which is being fought
over an area hardly greater than
good-sized farm in the state Of Iowa.
found the allies holding their grouno
to tho west of the User and the G~'-
mans apparently bringing up more re-
Inducements to repeat their furious
attempts to break through and reach
the coast Of France.
there was a temporary lull yesterday
in the fighting between Nieuport and
Ypres. but the reports are far from
as to whether this was due
to an armistice to bury the dead and
remove the wounded, which must
thickly cover the field, or whether it
was caused by the exhaustion of the

ElectrihcatiOn of railroads Is q
menace to the safety of the employees
and Of the public az well. The U. 8.
Interstate Commerce Commission,
December 10. 1913. issued a report
which showed the tremendous number
of accidents which occurred last year,
where electrifcation Is in operation.
The report shows that electric rules
are easily misunderstood.
"All of the mistakes noted above are
violations Of simple rules, which
should have been easily understood
by men of sufficient intelligence to be
intrusted with the operation of trains.
The evidence Is that in the main the
rules are understood. but they are
habitually violated by employees who
are charged with responsibility for
the safe movement of trains. The
evidence Is that In many cases operat.
ing officers are cognizant of this ha.
bitual disregard Of rules and no prop
er steps are taken to correct the evil"
In rendering this opinion the Inter.
state Commerce Commission has
thrown upon railroad employees the
stigma Of being derelict In the per.
Torrance Of their duties, and severely
criticized managers because Of their
apparent lack Of discipline; but not a
word il said about the law.making
