FRENCH SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct. 21.-A news dispatch
to- the Daily Mail from its Rotterdam
correspondent says that the Germans
were surprised and defeated early this
morning by the Allies in Belgium. The
Germans were on their way from Os-
tend to Dunkirk, unaware that the AL
les had drawn up a strong force across
their line of progress.
The Germans calmly walked into the
trap and before they could recover
from the sudden attack they had been
driven back several miles. The defeat
turned into a rout and the soldiers fell
back on Ostend in great confusion.
English and French warships coop
Grated with the land forces in the en-
gagement. The heavy guns of the big
ships threw she'll after shell among
the Germans and helped make the
rout complete.

GERMAN FORCES RESUME
OFFENSIVE IN FRANCE
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

LONDON, Oct. 21.-A comparison u
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 IL
Belgium and the north of France have
resumed offensive tactics in the cam
paign there.
The fercest 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
itarv advantage to either army as re-
suit of the recent fighting is not ap-
parent, say local observers this af-
ternoon.

ty of law enforcement problems, OF
human welfare-problems are county
problems. Outside the cities the unit
of government is in most cases the
county. The great burden of law en-
forcement rests on county officials.
That being the case, is 1t
not strange then that the county or
ganization of club women has been
so long ignored or overlooked? The
county organization is the one where
the club movement can most direct,

The women o. such an organization

planted on September 10 and gathered
November 12-just 81 days. This
was the third crop on the same piece
