Ish the front along the line decided
upon Sunday. In this attack our troops
showed admirable dash. The sixth
corps notably inflicted punishment on
the enemy close to Written.
'In Lorraine the two armies have
begun a combined attack. one starting
the other from south of Luneville.
The engagement which began Monday
continues at the time of writing. The
sound of cannonading is not heard at
Nancy as it was Monday"
Troops Anxious to Resume.
The fifteenth corps, which suffered
heavily in the last fight, had the gaps
in its ranks filled and formed part OF
one of the two armies. II executed a
brilliant counter attack in Abe valley
of the Vezouse. The attitude of the
troops was excellent.
Notwithstanding the fatigue of the
three days fighting and the losses they
have undergone, the morale of the
troops is excellent and they are anX-
ious to resume the fighting. The out
standing incident on sunday was the
fight between Algerian and Senegalese
rifemen and the Prussian guards.
Our African soldiers threw themselves
with unbridled fury on the enemy and
the attack became a hand to hand
combat in which the Germans suffered
heavily.
Our arms will continue their mag
nifcent effort in the knowledge that
they are fighting in the cause of civ
ilization. All France follows the strug-
gle calmly and with strong heart. The
sons OF France are supported by the
heroic Belgians, who have recaptured
Malines, and the courageous English
army. Meanwhile the Russians are
marching along the roads of West
Prussia and the invasion OF Ger
many is progressing"

PEACE IN MEXICO

The resignation os Huerta and his tirement from Mexico simply means surrender to the Constitutionalists. lere is no doubt that this is the frect interpretation, in view of the tion of Carbigal in appointing hmittee to confer with Gen. Carran- and arrange for his entrance into capitol. This is about the most |mane and most nearly civilized ing that has been done in Mexico a decade. It simply gave to Huer- an opportunity to escape without (sing his life and saved him ue hiliation of having to treat with foes and formally surrender. It fms probable now that an amnesty
 be proclaimed in favor of all who fported Huerta. Doubtless there some among the Constitutionalists b would like to wreak vengeance on Fm, but f is to be hoped that such be held under control. We hope

FAITH HEALERs INDICTED

1.-THE Rev. D. R. Schiller. D. NJ"
and Healer Hulda De Muth," known
to their friends as plain John Braun
and wife, were indicted for using the
mails to defraud by the grand jury at
FreepOrt, Ill, yesterday.
The pair have been operating "di-.
vine" health by faith cult. The pa
tents were supposed to cure them
selves by absent treatment with
holy handkerchiefs.
They have been working in sew
eral cities under different names, but
always with the same scheme. The
victim answers an ad in the paper
and receives several form letters and
a booklet explaining that the Healer
Hulda" can cure anything with the
aid of God and absent treatments.
In the booklet is a paragraph that
says God wants you to help pay our

made by the L w. W. to provide shell
ter and. food this winter for those
whom the charitable organizations
make no effort to reach. An effort
will be made to organize the unem-
ployed so that they can direct the
distribution Of such relief as comes
their way.
This will eliminate the staff of
charity and settlement workers who
usually cost so much to distribute
contributions they receive. 1t has
been estimated that it costs at least
81 to administer $1'through the char
liable organizations.
Eve believe we can secure vacant
buildings, lofts and storehouses for
sleeping quarters and places where
the unemployed can do their cook
ing. It is reasonably certain that
some amounts of food can be secur-
ed. We know there are vast amounts
of food destroyed that could be turn
ed to this end"
Mr.. Haywood was asked if the at
tention of the public would be called
to the unemployed situation by
means of street parades.
81 am against such demonstra-
TONS" he said. 'They accomplish
nothing save injury and perhaps loss
of life to the hungry, homeless men.
The police and police authorities and
military authorities are very easily
aroused. They feel that their only
purpose in life is to be on hand to
protect property. They have never
considered that human life is entitled
to some protection. And a street pa
rade merely means that the police |
will ride down and perhaps injure the |
men in that parade"
