FRENCH DRIVE AGAINST

course after the fury OF the Belgian at
tacks and the strategy OF the Belgians
in flooding the country occupied by the
invaders had driven them from the north
ern route. Messines is slightly east of
south and about seven miles distant
from Ypres. 1t is here that the French
have advanced under great difficulties
and with considerable losses for the pur-
pose of occupying positions which should
effectively block a German detour to the
southwark after their drive through
Ypres had been checked. as the allies
were confident it would be.
British Forces Advance.
The British troops too, were able to
record an appreciabIe advance in the
neighborhood of Armentieres, and other
British forces repelled the attacks di-
rected by the Kaiser's troops against
the positions held by the British be-
tween La Bassee and Arras. Fighting
in all these regions has continued under
the greatest difficulties, due to the dense
fog which has prevailed since early Sat-
urday, not only in the north, but in
Champagne and Lorraine. Action of the
artillery was severely hampered and
aviators had great difficulty in observing
the enemy's positions and directing the
range Of the gunners-
A terrific battle is raging on the Aisne,
where the allies also have begun to press
forward
After making several advances in the
vicinity Of Scissors, a battle Of great
magnitude and fierce character was pre-
cipitated, when the French and British
attacked the plateau OF Vregny, to the
northeast Of Scissors The battle last
ed all day, but the German defensive

Face Huge Army.
That the allies corps commander was
confident of being able TO batter his way
through to victory was evidenced by the
wording Of the official report, which,
after recording the attack, adds, but we
have not yet taken it"
In the Vailly region and on the right
bank Of the Aisne the French advanced
positions at Chavonne and SoupIr were
more securely established by the planting
on their front OF strongly intrenched out
guards supported by several batteries of
artillery. In this region the invaders at
tempted to carry CraonneIle and Heurte-
bize, but their efforts were repulsed.
supporting positions have been ef-
fectively established in the neighborhood
Of Verdun, both to the northwest and to
the southeast Of the city, making the ter

KEEP THE FREIGHT
CARS MOVING, ADVICE

In a letter from the Association Of
Western Railways, received by Rufus
B. Daniel. an Fl Paso attorney, II is
made plain that unless precautions are
used by patrons Of the carriers, a car
shortage must result by reason Of the
large crops throughout the west this
season. The following suggestions are
made in the letter:
First: Move all the coal. lumber.
cement and other supplies that you can
before the heavy crop movement starts.
Second: Load and unload all cars
as quickly as possible.
Third: Load all cars to the full
capacity.
Fourth: Anticipate the disposition
OF freight before its arrival
Fifth: Only order such cars as can
be loaded promptly.
Sixth: Reduce TO the minimum the
practice Of Filling cars TO intermediate
points to be held for reinstatement
81 believe that these suggestions are
good and timely. and can do no posi-
Bile harm" said Mr.. Daniel

PRISON STRIPES ABOL.
ISHED IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 3O.-The pris-
oners in the penitentiary on Black
wells Island have discarded their
suits of stripes for neat and equally
durable trousers and jumpers Of
blue. This innovation is the result
of Correction Commissioner Kat
Uterine B. Davis policy to eliminate
as far as possible all prison marks
on clothing. The striped suits,
which for years have been the badge
of those sent to the island, have
been relegated to the past, for the
psychological effect. The commits
sioner believes that a man should
not be constantly reminded by the
clothing he wears that he has COM
mitted crime and is beyond the
pale of the law. In helping them to
regain their self respect, her object
is the betterment of their ideas and
life after they are discharged from
the institution. In this the commits
sioner has followed the steps of the
prison commissioners of the State,
who have abolished the stripes at
