GFRMAN FORCES RESUME
OFFENSIVE IN FRANCE
Especial to Times-Recorder)

LONDON, Oct. 21-A comparison 81
the reports emanating from French
and German official sources made here
today by London military critics who
are observing closely the progress OF
the war on the continent, leads to the
conclusion that the German forces II
Belgium and the north of France have
resumed offensive tactics in the cam
paign there.
The fiercest fighting during the past
twenty-four hours, apparently, has
been along the long battle front in
France, thought there have been severe
skirmishes reports in parts of Belgium,
more especially along the coast coun-
try, where the Germans seem to be
concentrating large bodies of heavy
artillery.
The supreme effort of the Germans,
however, appears to be directed against
the Allies lines in northeast France,
while fighting the vicinity of Lille is
reporting as being especially severe,
with heavy losses to both sides. Mil
itary advantage to either army as re-
suit of the recent fighting is not ap-
parent, say local Observers this af-
ternoon.

prosecution that Mrs. Carman said to
her the day after the murder:
"Oh, Celia, why did l kill that wo-
man. hope God will forgive me-"

Mrs. Carman told me to forget I'd
seen her the night before. told Mrs.

OIL STEAMER BREAKS IN TWO
DURING STORM AND ONLY

SUSPECTED
SURVIVORS RESCUED AFTER "a
HOURS IN GALE UNABLE TO
TELL CAUSE OF WRECK.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, Jan. 6.-The 100000 oil
tank steamer Oklahoma broke in two
amidships without warning Sunday
morning south of Sandy Hook and a
large number Of her crew of more
than forty men perished.
The stern section, in which was situ-
ated all the heavy machinery of the
vessel and on which were thirty-two
members of the crew, sank immedi-
ately.
Eight members of the crew were res
:ued by the Hamburg-American line
steamer Bavaria, whose captain says
some of the Oklahoma's men told him
they saw an open boat put away from
the wreck with eight or ten men in It..
They reported that the revenue cutter
Seneca had picked up one of the
Oklahcma's lifeboats, which contained
the bodies OF four men. They are sup
posed to have died from exposure.
Among those who sailed on the
Oklahoma and are believed to be lost
Is Captain Loring A Gates of Boston,
formerly commander of the steamship
Ligonier. Captain Gates was aboard
as a passenger on his way to take
command Of another vessel
The story Of the disaster was con-
tanned in a wireless dispatch received
by the Hamburg-American line here
from Captain Graales Of the steamer
Bavaria, which is proceeding to Bos-
ton with the eight survivors of the
tanker on board.
From the fact that all the surviv-
ors were assembled forward" said Cap
tain Porter, II presume that an explo-
sion took place in the after part of the
ship where all the working force in
the engineers department were quar-
tered. Here also were the ships en-
gines and other machinery. The ac-
cident must have been of a sudden ma
ture, for otherwise the men aft would
have had ample time to have saved
their lives by rushing to the fore part
of the steamer"

fixed in his mind and then, closing the
book, to put these ideas into his own
English, following as closely as his
memory permitted the authors text

Othello's several times and was re-
producing the Moor's somber thoughts
with pretty fair approximation to the
poets words, but when he reached the
last line: Farewell, Othello's occupa-
