The allies appear to ave assumed
the offensive all along the Franco-Bel-
giah frontier where the efforts OF both
armies seem to be confined to attempts
to break through the lines OF the enemy
or to stay the advance OF the oppos-
ing forces.
The presence of the British fleet
along the coast OF the English channel
will prevent further outflanking att
tempts OF the Germans, it is claimed,
unless the German fleet can be sent into
the channel and clear those waters of
English mines and warships.

the enemy ca~nnonaded. but without re-

AMERICAN TANK STEAMER
WAS ON WRONG ROUTE

Halifax. N. S.. Oct. 19.-Just what
plan would be pursued with regard to
the American tank steamer, Brindilla,
seized by the British auxiliary cruis-
er. Caronia, and brought here yester-
day, could not be learned today. IT
Is supposed that the Brindilla, which
was formerly the German steamer
Washington. was suspected OF having
contraband aboard. 1t was also re-
ported that when she was halted out
side OF New York harbor Tuesday, she
was steering at variance with the or
binary course for her announced des-
tination. Alexandria. Egypt.

Germans in Bad Plight, Abandon
Lille, Say Aduices From France

The advance of the German force
threatening the northern French sea-
coast has been halted for the moment"
says the correspondent of the Chron-
icle in northern France. The Germans
have suffered heavily in the recent
lighting and are now short of NUM-
tons and stores. However, they are
preparing to strike a heavy blow. 1t is
probable that they will attempt to PEN
citrate the defense of Dunkirk, With the
object of o~verrunning the French coast
as far as Calais and Boulogne. The
heavy siege guns remain at Antwerp
and were being removed toward the
present German line. while large bodies
OF German troops are being pushed
forward. A large force OF Germans Is
conferred at Thourout, ~ miles south
west OF Bruges, Belgium.

London. Oct. 20.-"Lille has been
evacuated by the Germans for the third
time" says the Telegraph's CORE
spondent in the north of France. This
evacuation was made necessary by the
allies capture of Laventi and Estaires,
which forced the Germans to leave the
plain between Hazebroueck and Lille.
Everywhere along our left flank
we have been successful and the Ger
mans are falling back under pressure.
1t is not even certain they will hold

were no Germans in Ostend on Friday.

Aided by British warships operating along the coast and in the
small streams and the army of King Albert of Belgium and other
reinforcements, the allies, according to reports, have checked
the advance of the German right wing and hurled the invaders back
in their tracks a distance of 80 miles at some points. Dunkirk, Ca
lGs and Boulogne are safe for the time being, it is declared.
Northern France and southern Belgium form the theater of
some of the hardest fighting of the war, and the allies, their hopes
bostered by the successes reported by the Paris and London war
offices, believe the crisis in the western campaign is near and that 1t
will not be fatal to their cause. Berlin says the attacks of the en-
envy west and northwest of Lille have been repulsed with severe
losses. r- 4. "
The reported retaking of Lille by the allies has not been con-
frmed, but there has been hard fighting in that neighborhood and
London correspondents today informed their papers that General
Won Kluck's division is in a perilous position and expressing the
opinion that his early retirement is inevitable. ----

months ago. Ten children have been

Some people never seem to learn this.
You would suppose that after all the
trouble and worry Chatterer the Red
Squirrel had had he would have learned
a lesson. For a while it seemed as II he
had. Morning after morning. before any
body was up in Farmer Browns house,
ne visited the corncrib, taking the great
est care not to be seen and to get back
to his home in the Old Orchard before it
was time for Farmer Browns boy to
come out and do his mornings work.
And in the corncrib he took the greatest
care to steal only where what he took
would not be missed. The empty cobs
from which he had eaten the corn he hid
in the darkest corner behind the great
pile of yellow corn. where they would
not be found until nearly all the corn had
been taken from the crib. Oh, he was
very sly and crafty, was Chatterer the
Red Squirrel-at first.
But after a while when nothing hap
pened, especially after Sammy Jay had
stopped making trouble for him, Chat
terer grew careless. At first it had
seemed very dangerous to go over to the
corncrib, but after he had been there
Once inside he would just give himself
UP to having a good time. He raced
about over the great pile of beautiful
yellow corn, and found the loveliest hid
ing places in it. Down in a dark corner

he made a splendid bed from pieces of
husk which hadn't been stripped from
some of the ears 1t was quite the incest
place he had ever dreamed of. was Farm
er Browns corncrib. He got to feeling
that it was his own and not Farmer
Browns at all.
The more that feeling grew the more
careless Chatterer became. He dropped
grain of corn now and then and was
too lazy to go down and pick it up, or
else didn't think anything about 1t. Farm
er Browns boy, coming every morning
for corn for the hens, noticed these
grains, but supposed they We're some
that had been rubbed from the ears dur
morning Chatterer dropped cob from
which he had eaten all the corn. He
meant to get it and hide 1t as he had
hidden other cobs, but he didn't want
to do it just then. And then-well, then
he forgot all about it. Yes, sir, he for
got all about it until he had reached his
home in the Old Orchard.
"Oh, WELL" thought Chatterer, lit
doesn't matter. I can get it and hide it
tomorrow morning
Now. a corncob Is a very simple thing.
Farmer Browns boy knew where there
was whole pile of them. He added to
that pile every day after shelling enough
corn for the biddies. So it would seem
that there was nothing about a corn
cob to make him open his eyes as he did
that morning when he saw the one left
by Chatterer the Red Squirrel. But you
see, he knew that a bare corncob had no
business inside the corncrib, and sud-
denly those scattered grains of corn had
a new meaning for him.
'tHa, ha.' he exclaimed, "a thief has
been here after all! l thought We We're
safe from rats and mice. and l don't
see now how one got in. for / don't,
really don't, see how he could climb the

Mr.. Rat or Mr.. Mouse! We can't have

emily he came back and in one hand was
a rat-trap and in the other a mouse-trap.
