Attack at Dixmude, Belgium, and Near Bsthuns, France, by Great German Army - French and British Defeat kaiser's Troops Along River o,se. Berlin Claims Progress.

kaiser's Troops Along River o'se.
 Berlin Claims Progress.
 The French are on the offensive in the vicinity of Nancy on the eustern frontier and have driven the Germans. across the frontier in the direction of Metz. This was the chief declaration contained in the official communique- issued from Bordeaux.
 The communique contradicted iatly the reports coming from German sources that the kaiser's forces were crumpling the French right wing be- tween Foul and verdun.
 Dealing with the general situation In the north, the official statement said that everywhere the allied lines were holding. a..
 The French war office nt Paris de- clared that the Germans after lighting their way across the Yser between Nieuport and Dixnude, Belgium. had been unable to advance any farther. Dunkirk and Calais seem safe for the time at least
 The battle In western Belgium and the adjacent corner of France Is the most desperate struggle of the war.
 Both sides are showing the utmost daring and courage. The Germans evil dently are determined to bring about a decisive result in this quarter, and the allies are meeting their every move with resourcefulness and yalor
 Germany's great army of Invasion assalled the allies with undiminished vigor ut Dixmude. Belgium. and near Bethune. France, and repulsed an at- tack by large French force near Lille. The series of battles on both sides of the Belgian border have de- veloped into determined struggle for the possession of railway lines, so far without decisive result
 French troops operating against the forces of the German crown prince. in the River Mouse region. destroyed three new German batteries of heavy ar. tillery. says a dispatch fro Paris. Along the River Disc the French Ind British defeated the Germans. who delivered furious onslaught against the positions held by the allies The kaiser's soldiers were compelled to re treat and to abandon their 6rst line of trenches.
 The nllies are making a determined effort to retake Lille, where the Ger mans have established headquarters for their whole right wing.
 The war office in Berlin announced that while severe fighting Is in prog. ress along the line of the Yser river in Belgium, there has as yet been no de. cisive result
 It Is stated that the Germans are gradually gaining ground in the gen. eral direction of Dunkirk. The German right wing Is slowly advancing from Lille. although the allies are maintain. ing particularly stubborn defense.

SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro-.

TTOs
 This week the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association is hard at work again and the Convention of last week is thing of the past. Reports from the local leagues indicate that the effects of the Convention are by no means of the past, but that the energies of the leagues have been quickened and that activities have greatly increased. The special work for this week is the inter viewing of candidates for the Legislature and obtaining of pledges from them that if elected they will support the measure for submitting constitutional amendment to the voters of the state.
 ssMiss Emily Pierson, Miss Alyse Gregory and Miss Isabella Sanders are engaged this week in Little Gam paign" in the neighborhood of Water. bury. The towns on the programme are: Plymouth, which was visited last Monday; Southbury, Tuesday; Prospect Wednesday,; Oxford and Southford to- day; Wolcott, tomorrow. The meeting at Plymouth was held in Tuttle's Hall and though it had been impossible for the organizers to do very much ill the way of advertising, owing to their pre- occupation with the Convention in Hartford, there was good audience On Tuesday the suffrage meeting was held in the Methodist church of South bury, and last night another good meet ing was held i'll the Grange hall at Prospect. The meetings scheduled for this evening are in the Parish House at Oxford at half past seven and in Union Chapel at Southbury also at 7:30 p. m. Tomorrow evening the meeting in Grange Hall at Woleott is timed for eight o'clock. This meeting will be attended by band of suffragists belong ing to the Waterbury Equal Franchise League, and this league of which Mrs. Julius Maltby is president, has also sent contingents of workers to the other meetings of this Little Campaign.

Con-.


 1t is somewhat astonishing to learn that while 28,674 school teachers in New England have declared in favor of woman suffrage, far larger number, 40, 123 to be exact, have declared against it. It has been asserted that the opposition to equal suffrage among women was confined principally to those that were dependent on men for their support, but here we find a ma jority of one type of education and in- dependent women opposing the exten- sion of the ballot to their sex by very pronounced majority. The only ex- plantation appears to be that the teach CTS find so much in their profession to occupy their time and minds that they do not care to bother with politics and voting.
 The Connecticut Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage had large and en- thusiastic meeting of the State Workers in Hartford, Friday, October 23. This included the county chairman and heads of branches who reported an extraordi- nary growth of membership especially in districts recently visited by suffra- gists. The representatives of this or ganization in Litchfield County are Mrs. H. H. Bridgman of Norfolk and Mrs. James B. Woodruff of Litchfield.

ST. Valentine Party.

We have all known that ST. VAL
entine has been lurking in the neigh
borhOod this past week as if 10th to
leave, and the mystery of his pre-
dicti0n for this vicinity was eX-
planned Wednesday night when the
spIendOr CT his headquarters at the
beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Levy burst upon the vision
Of the expected guests.
The inClemency of the weather
which deferred not one (haviGg
knowledge of similar previous
events) from partaking Of the hos
pitality of the hO5tesses, only added
by contrast to the charm within.
Cupids cupids everywhere, and
hearts hearts galore transferred
the artistic home into a veritable
fairy land, The color scheme of
red and white was carried out in
everything, decorations, tallies, i'd
bles.
The manly little son of the house,
a peTsOnitication of the little arches
himself, not even needing the pro-
verbal bow and arrow to confirm
the illusion, delighted the guests
with the charming manner in which
he distributed the tallies, and soon
the rooms were filled with jollity
and mirh of the joyous assembly.
Time certainly ran on silver feet"
for the evening passed all TOO swift
ly. The delicious refreshments
! which but newly attested to the
culinary skill of the entertainers,
were enjoyed by all and soon the
guests were departing. The only
regret that could have found ex-
preston would have been that an
hour has but sixty minutes. That
the next year may witness a SINH
lar ga'hernS was the heart given
touci Of Ell present. 80

Words, Only Words.

Words, Wor5s, Taught but words;
Speech with little care
The foe fears not such empty
sounds,
They only stir the air;
They do no harm but flash and
CLINT,
Strike not the stunning blow
Reach not the neart of stone or
flint,
Nor conquer any foe.
Give silver, gold, as well as words
Pray, work with giving too,
Preach We by gifts, by labor done,
And be ye helpers true,
To brothers, sisters, one and all
Who need our Savior,
Who each should know His call,
And loving favor.
God needs boz / us, and ours;
He has a right to both,
Give Him all our every powers
And gladly nothing loath!
Thus shall we co-workers
Be, with Ch.ist our Savior
Be no longer 6.lirkers,
Dead unto His favor.
