Scar of Art Theft.

There Is a picture at Hampton court which bears witness to a theft that may be termed patriotic. This is Hol- bein's "Field of the Cloth of Gold" which after the downfall of Charles I. Cromwell proposed to sell. But when the would be purchaser came to in- spect 1t he discovered that the head of Henry VIII. had been cut from the canvas. He refused to buy the pie ture, and it was preserved to the na- ton. At the restoration a nobleman confessed to having committed the crime for Hove of art and country" He returned the missing head, which now occupies its original position, the circle made by the knife in the canvas being still plainly visible. - London Chronicle

Official Report
of French Army

Paris. Oct. 1O.-The official commu'
nication issued by the French War De
partment tonight says:
"The information received this even
ing from the general headquarters only
mentions encounters between the two
cavalry forces to the southwest OF
Lille, a violent action to the south, TO
the eas, and to the north of Arras, and
very vigorous attacks from the enemy
on the heights of the Meuse."
This afternoons official announce

The fighting continues under salts

front has been maintained in spite or
violent attacks Of the enemy at several
points.
"On our left wing. in the region in'
cluded between La Bassee, Armentieres
ard Cassel the fighting between the
opposing forces of cavalry has been
confused because of the nature of the
terrain.
"To the north of the Oise our troops
have attained real advantages at sew
eral places in their zone of action. In
the region of st. Mihiel We have made
material progress.
''As 20 Belgium it is announced that
Antwerp was taken yesterday. The
conditions under which this place was
occupied by the enemy are, however,
not yet known"

Fighting at Close Quarters
by Cavalry Around Lille

From the Battle Front (via Paris),
Oct. lO-S Sabre and lance came into
Play many times to-day. The French,
British and German hussars, lancers,
dragoons and cuirassiers, in enormous
numbers came in contact near Lille.
There we're no brilliant charges by
long lines Of horsemen, 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 remains standing.
e itself has disappeared under con-
slant bombardment. Ii was the centre
of the German effort to break through
the allied lines. The German artillery
Lad taken advantage OF many quarries
in the vicinity where they placed guns
which were beyond the reach Of the
French artillery.
Further down toward the center OF
the line the severest fighting continued
to-day at Roye, where the Allies took
large number of prisoners. Rheims
again was subjected to a short bonn
bardment.
In other parts Of the centre the OPP
posing forces remain constantly alert.
The cannonade has diminished in in
tcnsity and the allied troops occupy
ing the trenches are becoming thor
oughly accustomed to the situation.
Scouting Parties Clash.
Reconnoitring parties, seeking to
discover the strength OF their oppo-
nents. frequently came IN conflict. In
these engage ments the soldiers would
take shelter behind the many bodies
on the field and occasionally make
smart dashes across the open, where
their arms glittered in the sunlight.
But 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 ceased. At some
points along the line numbers o. 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 had
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 con-
tinued their efforts to dislodge the
Germans, who held on with wonderful
tenacity. 1t was necessary for the
Allies to conduct regular siege opera
tions in order to get at them
Further east the French made g.
considerable advance in Alsaoe and
valiantlv captured some territory OF
the heights Of the Meuse, where the
Germans attacked them repeatedly
but were always beaten back. Nigh:
attacks appear for the present to have
ceased except in few isolated in
stances.

French Reports.

London. Oct. 10, 2 p. m.-The official
press bureau issues the following de-
scriptye account, presumably by Colo.

headquarters, an eyewitness, which
continues and supplements the nara
tive published October Q, of the move
ments of the British force and the
French armies in immediate touch
with it:
"Comparative calm on our front has
continued through the fine and consid-
erably warmer weather. The last six
days have been slightly misty, with
clouds hanging low, so that conditions
have not been very favorable for
aerial reconnaissance.
an regard to the latter, it is aston

quired. even by those who are no.
avistors, of thinking Of the weather
in terms of its suitability for flying.
There has been bright moon also,
which has initiated against night at

"On Saturday, October 8. practically
nothing happened except that each

which gathered gave chance 10 our

"On Monday, the 9th, there were
three separate duels in the air be-

one of which was visible from our

so far as could be seen. indecisive. but
in the third the French airmen were
victorious. and brought down their op-
