FROM THE BATTLE FRONT. via
Paris. October 10. 11:51 a.m.-Saber and
lance came into play many times today.
The French. British and German hussars.
lancers. dragons and curassiers in
enormous numbers came into contact
near Lille. There were no brilliant
charges by long lines Of horsemen to re-
cord, but the British squadron in khaki
and the French in their light and dark
blue uniforms often crossed swords with
the blue-gray-clad Germans.
There is not an inch of ground here
abouts which does not show traces Of the
awful character Of the battle. The town
of Albert is a mass of ruins, only a
church steeple remaining standing. Roye
has disappeared under constant bonn
bardment. 1t was the center of the Ger
| man effort to break through the allied
lines. The German artillery had taken
| advantage Of many quarries in the Vi
cinity where they placed guns which were
beyond the reach Of the French artillery.
Merely Reconnoitering.
Recommending parties. seeking to
discover the strength of their oppo-
nents. frequently came in conflict. In
these engagements the soldiers would
the field or occasionally make smart
dashes across the open, where their
arms glittered in the sunlight. s.ut
nothing occurred which could be called
a general battle.
The vicinity of Arras, however. was
the scene of very vigorous encounters
between infantrymen, who engaged in
close fighting with the bayonet after
the artillery duel had ceased. At some
points along the line numbers of Ger
mans approached the trenches of the
allies without their rifles and offered
to surrender if given food, saying that
the rations at that part Of the German
position had run out.
Beyond Roye. where the fighting has
been exceptionally severe for fifteen
days, as possession of the place means
control Of the railroad lines and also
the road to Amiens. the allies continued
their efforts to dislodge the Germans
who held on with wonderful tenacity
1t was necessary for the allies to con-
duct regular siege operations to get a,

1t is said that several of the Catholic
University base ball players are in dan.
ger of being kept off the team this
spring because of deficiencies in their
studies. While it is not generally known,
it is true that the Brookland institution
has rule which provides that a man
who has two conditions in classroom
work is not eligible to compete in any
branch of athletics. At least TWO men
were barred from the foot ball team
last fall by the ruling. and two were
out of some of the basket ball games
for the same reason. but how hard
hit the base ball squad will be is not yet
known definitely. as it is more than pos
sible that the players affected will be
able to make up the work.
One player who will be excluded from
the team unless he makes up some back
work will not be replaced. There Is no
man in the university capable of filing
his position. and the nine will be material
