WAY OR ANOTHER

London-The correspondent of the
Telegraph, behind the French front,
sends the following:
'The great effort on the part of the
allies to drive back the right wing Of
the German army continues with I'M
abated fury. Both sides seem deter
mined to fight the issue to a definite
conclusion in the northeast of France
and to ignore for the time being AL
ace-Lorraine.
"In the allies denter both sides are
too strongly entrenched to allow any
great Offensive movement on the part
of either toward the left wing. If the
German right tan be turned the Ger
mans must abandon the fortified po-
sitions on other parts of the long line
and withdraw their immense forces
either through Belgium or Luxem-
bourg.
"The armies cannot keep up the
struggle much longer, and unless one
side soon obtains decided advantage
we shall see a checkmate result all
along the front. Then victory can be
won only by the side which is able to
bring up absolutely fresh forces which
havt not felt the strain Of two months
of continuous fighting.
"The strain of this modern fighting
is something never known before. The

"Officers from the front declare
that the Germans are more formid-
able adversaries when on the defen-

rifle fire deadly, while the artillery
finds the target with precision.

from the front universally lament the

Bo1nbsDropped
from Aeroplane

ParlS-FOur bombs were dropped
on the city from a German aeroplane
Sunday. One missile, exploding in
Avenue Du Trocadero at the corner
of Rue Freyoinet, blew the head
from the shoulders of man who
was standing on the corner with his
daughter and crippled the child.
The other bombs did little damage.
Crowds, taking advantage of a
beautiful autumn day, were promen-
aiding on the banks of the Seine
when the aerial warrior appeared al
most directly over the Eiffel tower.
1t is believed that the first bomb
dropped was intended for the wire
less station on the tower. or possibly
for the nearby buildings containing
army stores. 1t landed in Avenue Du
Trocadero not far from the tower,
and the explosion was heard for many
blocks. The houses in the vicinity
were badly damaged, many of the
| walls cracking and windows being
shattered.
The bomb struck only a block
from the American embassy at num-
Der five Rue De Chaillot, where Am
bassador Myron T. Herrick, who did
not accompany the government to
Bordeaux, still makes his home.
In the wake of the bomb fluttered
a German flag. At the sound of the
explosion the promenaders in that
section first rushed for shelter, and
then as the airship moved on they
hurried to the scene of the havoc.
A Gordon of police was quickly
thrown about the debris and the
mangled body of the man was re-
moved. Near his body the girl was
discovered. Her lower limbs had
been shattered. Women in the
crowd wcpt audibly as the chill was
borne to a hospital.
Among the houses damaged was
the residence of the Prince of Mon
AGO. The buildings containing army
stores suffered considerably At the
time of the attack services were be-
ing conducted in the American Holy
Trinity church in Avenue dTA1ma.
Many of the congregation fled to the
street.
In the midst of the excitement the
roplane dropped three more bombs.
One landed among herd of COWS
pastured on the Auteuil race course.
One COW was killed and others top
pied over stunned.
A third bomb fell in Rue Vineuse
and fourth in Rue de la Pompe, a
quarter in which many Americans
live. Comparatively little damage
was done in either instance.
The missiles were the most power
full of those used in the aerial raids

Zeppelin on Bomb Tour
London-A German Zeppelin made
a bomb-throwing tour Saturday
night, visiting several Belgian cities,
according to dispatch to the Reuter-
Telegram company from Ostend.
The airship passed over Alost, Client,
Dynze, Minelbek and0 Rolleghem,
dropping five bombs.
At Dynze, a man 80 years old, was
MORALLY injured. He was near a
hospital upon the roof of which a
bomb struck, doing considerable
damage to the building. Another
bomb, dropped at Rolleghem, did no
damage.
Retiring by way of Thielt. the Yep
pelin dropped two bombs upon the
gas works there, causing considerable
monetary loss. The airship then
proceeded by way of Courtral in
the direction of France.-Capital

LONDON, Dec 27.-The British
press censorate has not yet permitted
the British newspapers. to make any
mention of the loss of the battleship
Audacious. The facts that the Auda-
cious was put out of commission by a
mine, or by a German submarine, off
the northern coast of Ireland on Octo-
Der 27 and that the White Star steamer
Olympic took off her crew are well
known in all English newspaper Off
ces, however, and are matter of com
mon report among the public.
The policy of the admiralty in de-
clining to have any statement made in
England is dictated by the view that
in the absence of official confirmation
the Germans may think that the report
is another canard which has gained
general credenee like the widely spread
and firmly believed story of the pas

pers containing the story have seen
