ParisSaysA||iesAre
Making Gains.
GERMANS IN FORCE
IN VALLEY OF LILLE
Location Is Within Ten Miles Of
Belgian Frontier.

London, Oct. THE official silence
maintained for twelve hours over the
operations of the allies in North.
eastern France was broken by an off,
cial statement from Paris. This set
forth that the left wing of the allied
army is extending more and more
widely; that strong forces of German
cavalry have appeared in the valley
Of Lille, in the department Of Nord;
that between the Somme and the Disc
there have been alternate advances
and Withdrawals. and that German
attack near Lassigny has failed.
North of scissors the allies have
advanced. The rest of the front
shows no change.
The disclosure that the operations
on the western end of the great bat.
tie line have reached the vicinity of
Lille places the Germans in strength
at point easily within ten miles of
the Belgian frontier.
Taking Lassingy as the elbow of
the French battle line it now extends
roughly for eighty miles due north
and for considerably more than 100
miles from Lassigny to the eastward.
In spite of the fact that the French
were compelled to yield ground before
the German attacks on their left wing,
confidence in the ultimate success of
this fanking movement in favor OF
the allies is described in a Paris dis.
patch as undiminished.
British Bureau Closes.
Never since its start has the battle
Of the Aisne, which now has become
virtually siege of the German posi-
tions on the Disc and north of this
river, shown such a dearth of news
as on this, the twenty-fifth day of the
struggle. The British information bu.
reau completely closed down on
events at the front several days ago
and it probably will continue so until
Sir John French, the commander of
the British expeditionary forces, puts
his army in motion again.
A slight advance by combined Brit.
ish and French forces on the right
bank of the Aisne, north of scissors.
and progress in the vicinity Of Berry
au-Bac are alleged by the French, who
add there is nothing to report from
the rest Of the line.
French troops are we'll established
in Alsace, according to news dis
patch from Belfort, France, and the
German forces before them are not
numerous. Another newspaper CORE
spondent telegraphs that the French
are fortified in excellent positions in
the V0sges.
In Belgium, the French statement
says. the Belgian forces defending
Antwerp have occupied strongly the
line between the River Rupel and the
River Nethe, and assert against this
line the attacks of the Germans have
failed.

People Of Antwerp
Seek Safety.
GOES ON DAY AND NIGHT
Bombardment Of Outer Forts by
German Artillery.

Antwerp, Oct. 7.-Only the military
forces actively engaged in the de-
fense of Antwerp are now permitted
to go to the front.
Many residents have left Antwerp
for places OF refuge in Holland and
England. AS far as possible all the
vessels leaving, including the fishing
boats, are carrying noncombatants.
Because of the danger from German
fire, no persons are permitted to oc-
cupy the spires of the churches, nor
the roofs of the tall buildings.
The bombardment of the southern
and eastern chain Of forts continues
without interruption day and night.
Rumors are circulated that several
of the forts have been badly damaged,
but the war Office declares the re-
sistance is we'll maintained. The off,
cial announcement says: "The Ger
mans continue the bombardment of
the outer ring of forts. They have
utterly failed, however, in their ef.
forts to gain foothold at any point.
in series of sorties the garrison
has inflicted great damage upon the
Germans, who have abandoned all eff.
forts to carry the forts by storm.
Every fort and redoubt is holding
out"
Despite this optimistic announce
ment. however, it is known that the
pressure is SO great that urgent mes
sages hayes. been sent to English and
French general stalls to force the
Germans to raise their siege.
Belgium feels that the allies can
now spare enough fresh troops to un-
dertake a fanking movement from
the west coast, which would compel
the Germans to evacuate Brussels
and lift the siege of Antwerp.

MANIAC sLAsHEs TEN MEN
Runs Amuck Through Streets Until
Shot by Officers.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. Oct. 7.-Peter
Dudachek of Fort Wayne, Ind, armed
with razor, ran a wild race through
the central part of Nanticoke and Sc
riously slashed ten men before he was
shot down by the police. Many
others were slightly wounded by the
madman during his dash through the
streets and several men and women
tainted. The man finally was cor.
nered in barber shop which he had
wrecked completely.
The entire police force Of Nanticoke
and about 100 citizens besieged the
shop and rained bricks, clubs and
other missiles on Dudachek without
effect. Then officers fired eight
shots at him, all of which took effect,
and when he weakened through loss
of blood he was captured. He is still
alive, but his condition is critical.

WHY THESE FLoPsy

A more noticeable flop in journals
tic circles is seldom noted than that in
which the Burlington Free Press is
engaged. Some Of US are somewhat
familiar with the founder, a fish that
typifies its name. but not many of US
are familiar with the journalistic
founder.
In the Free Press OF October Is,
1900, the year in which Hon. G. A.
Prouty. first presented himself to the
voters as Senatorial candidate, the
following editorial utterance appeared:
A friend of Hon. c. A. Prouty is re-
sponsible for the statement that if he
cannot win now in the senatorial con-
test the return of Senator Ross is
wanted, so that he can have an oppor-
tunity to try again two years hence.
The Prouty managers figure that If
Gen. Grout cannot win now with his
congressional position and influence to
help him, he will certainly be a weak
er candidate two years hence and will
not be in the race. By that time GER
tain railroad interests which are
backing Prouty hope to have strong
political organization built up which
will enable him to secure the senatori-
al plum at the end of the term for
which Senator Morrill, was elected"
Then, as now, with the Free Press,
the Interests" were back of some
thing and in that particular case the
charge is made that they were back of
Prouty. Perhaps the Free Press has
information at this time as to when
the Interests" deserted Mr.. Prouty,
and perhaps it can answer the quarry
as to whether George w. Perkins is
the interest" back of him today.
