Enveloping Movement on
West Has Turned Wing
of Kaiser's Forces
END OF THE GREAT
FIGHT NEAR AT HAND
German Statement Does Not
Admit Prospect That
Defeat Is Coming

London, Oct. e. Unless
all signs are awry, the Ger
man armies in France, at
any rate most of them, are
nearing the completion OF
their round trip. This is held
here as the only conclusion
~ limited at even by the
Berlin newspapers - to be,
drawn from the reports,
both official and unofficial, !
by those near the scene OF !
action. |
It is evident that the prog /
resscf-the allies on their
left is considerable, while
the hole through which the !
Germans might have pierced
the line Of French fortresses |
on the Meuse river has been
stopped. i
The fierce battling around
the heights of Roye to the
northwest Of Noyon seems
to have ended in favor OF
the French. The heights
were captured by General
Won Kluck's men on We'd
nesday, but on Friday, ac-
cording to a French report,
the allies gained control Of
the position.
The turning movement. Of the allied
armies in northern France has brought
tho. extreme of their left wing within
about thirty miles of the Belgium
frontier.
An official statement issued by the
French war office at o'clock this
afternoon says that part of the battle
line stretching generally north and
south has been extended north to
point south of Arras. This line on
which the allies are attempting to
envelop the German right wing under
General Won Kluck has been pushed
gradually toward the Belgian border
as the Germans widened their front In
defense until it extends some fifty-five
miles from the angle that rests on
Tracy lie Mont.
Terrific fighting continues on the
allies left, with, according to the
Paris statement, the most severe
struggle being in the region Of Roye,
about midway on this battle line Here
the Germans have concentrated strong
forces probably with the purpose Of
DreaKlnS .tHTOuSH tHe liouL VI JIG
allies and isolating their forces to the
north. The Paris statement adds that
the Germans attempted to bridge the
Meuse near st. Mihiel, but their pom
toons were destroyed. French claims

Dr. Abbott and Dr. Eliot Call Attention to the Un-
 usual Conditions
NEW ADJUSTMENTS
 IN NEXT FEW YEARS
Electricity in Various Forms Is Work ing Such Changes That no Man Can Predict What
 Will Happen
By HOLLAND

New York December 29.-tSpecial. )-Not until there was opportunity for reading full report of the addresses which were made at the annual dinner of the New England society last week was one re- markable feature of these addresses brought clearly to mind. Those who heard Dr. Lyman Abbott and former President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard university and James NJ Beck were inevitably at tracted by the personality of each of these speakers and by the peculiar charm of their English as well as the vigor with which their thoughts were expressed. The selection of these speakers was regarded as unusually fortunate. Personally they differ greatly both in physical appear ance and in the characteristic intellectual attitude which was revealed in their ad- dresses. Inevitably the influences direct or remote of the European war affected their treatment of the subjects which were the basis or texts of their addresses. There was, however. an underlying thought run ming through all of these addresses and all the more impressive to the reader of these addresses because there could have been no concerted action or preliminary understanding between them.
 Underlying the spoken word and be- tween the lines of the published addresses there is to be discovered belief that worldwide conditions are at this time chaotic and of such character that no man is able clearly to see into the fu- ture. These affect the United states notwithstanding we are today immacu- late so far as our relations with the bel hgerent nations are concerned. This thought is one which has permeated the minds of the leaders in our business and financial world. and it undoubtedly in part explains why our domestic indus- tries are so slow to respond to the great stimulus which has been occasioned by the magnitude of our foreign trade since d-September.
 There does unquestionably prevail throughout the United States and among men who think feeling that the future is enveloped in fog and that no one can tell what new relations are to be estab- ished after the war in Europe has end ed There are to be new relations, com-

 This apparently was the underlying thought only vaguely expressed in the addresses of President Eliot and Dr. Ab- bolt It appears to have been the thought which inspired James M. Beck to make suggestion that the neutral nations of tho world, with their 200Oo0,o00 population or more, begin arrangements for concert ed action which will array by and by all the neutral nations of the world against the belligerents across the sea, thereby compelling them to yield to propositions inv olving mediation and peace.

NEW CARTERCAR FOR
MRS. VANCE ARRIVES

The Model 30-horsepower Carter
car purchased from the Nevada Car
tercar company by Mrs. John Vance,
was delivered to her this morning by
Floyd o. Booze, general manager of the
above company.
Mr.. Booze recently drove one of
these cars out to the new strike in
Horse canyon over some very bad
roads and its performance was very
gratifying and the trip was a most
thorough tryout of the car. In the
party were Mrs. Simpson and daugh-
ter, Miss Neva, and Earle Williams.
Mr.. Booze expressed it as his opinion
that Horse canyon would prove good
placer ground as the yellow metal is
undoubtedly there in paving quanti-
ties as evidenced by the many old
workings of the Chinese, who exploit
ell the ground in the years gone by.
