From The Battle Front via Paris,
Oct. 12.-The battlefield northwest OF
Lille was the point of greatest inter-
est in to-day's continuation Of the
great conflict which already has lasted
twenty-nine days. The cavalry Of both
armies in imposing masses have swept
about the country for days, seeking to
90 through or around the opposing
lines. and everywhere they have en-
countered the forces OF the enemy.
A successful ruse carried out by a
detachment Of French infantry in the
vicinity Of Lens is related in the orders
of the day. Having been ordered to
hold a position. the small squad did so
throughout the day, but At dusk the
detachment was compelled TO retire be-
tore an overwhelming force Of Ger
mans.
Reaching country estate. the
French commander placed a number Of
men in the last outlying houses. with
orders to remain until they heard the
bugle call The rest Of the party took
up n position a quarter Of a mile fur
Their on in the open country.
The Germans continued their pursuit
without noticing the French rifemen IN
the houses. A bugle sounded, and
fire was opened both on the front and
on the rear OF the German force. which,
after losing many men. retrested. Inc
French reoccupied their original posi-
ton and saved the Allies line from
being pierced.

brought the report that the yield will

and the nuts are far better filed out
this year than in previous seasons.
It was rumored sometime ago that
this years yield of pecans would fall
short of the 1913 production, but after
going over the groves here 1t has
been found that the report was un-
founded The buyers are paying
good price for the nuts and say this
