Terrible ARTILLERY fire
At British IN TRENCHES

London, Oct. 81, 4.50 A. M.-Tele-
graphing about the fighting in Belgium
the correspondent of the ''Times in
Northern France says:
"The enemy s most furious attack
along the line of the User was at
1pres, where a quarter of million
Germans for five days were held back
by the British force.
''The artillery fire against the Brit
ishcrs in the trenches was terrible,
churning up the earth and often bury
ing the men by dozens. Repeatedly the
enemy's infantry advanced to within
few hundred yards but every time
our men leaped from the trenches and
went at them with the bayonets. The
Germans have no relish for a bayonet
charge and they fed, firing their rifles
over their shoulders as they ran.
'Many hundreds were captured and
thousands were killed and wounded.
Still their shrapnel rained into the
British trenches and fresh infantry
took the places OF the Germans who
had been decimated
''The situation grew more and more
critical and it seemed that the British
were likely to be borne down by sheer
weight OF numbers. Still they held on.
Friday came at last and with it need
ed renforcemcnts. The position was
saved and the Germans fell back 10

HOW TO FIGHT PELLACaA
One Sided Diet Will Prevent and Eradl-
cate Dread Disease, Says Federal
Health Commission

Washington, Oct. 27.-That the sub.
stitution of Il mixed, well-balanced
varied diet for the restricted, one-sided
diet will prevent and eradicate the
dread disease of peliagra is the couclu-
sion of the Federal Public Health Serv-
ice Commission which has been investi-
eating the pellagra problem in the
South. In report yesterday the Com
mission, which is headed by Dr. Joseph
Goldberger, announces that as result
of its Investigations it has reached the
conclusion that pellagra is not com
municable disease but is dependent upon
some vet undetermined fault in diet
i'll which the animal or le9uminous pro-
tein component is disproportionately
small and the non-leguminous vegetable
component disproportionately large and
that it does not develop in those who
consume a good, rich, mixed and well
balanced and varied diet. Those af-
1icted witn the disease should be fed
an abundance OF fresh milk, eggs, fresh
lean meat, beans and peas. .-
''We are not to be understood as say
ing that all cases will, or can, in this
or any otaer wa$s be saved /, says the
Commission. "Wesfear that there will
always be patients who even in their
first attacks are, and will be beyond
hope of recovery
The Commission recommends that the
people of the South, particularly the
poor, be urged to include in their daily
diet articles Of food containing the
lcgumiuous protens especially during
the late fall, winter and early spring
months.
The evidence is daily becoming
stronger that the eventual eradication
of pellagra from our South will depend
largely upon the successful introduc-
tion of our common dried leguminous
into the winter dietary.

The long continued drought took from
the squirrels some of their watering

ponds nearby and daily went there to
drink. Unfortunately, this was discov-

GERMANS CAN Hold Line
IN TIE AISNE VALLEY ALL
WINTER, If They Desire

London, Oct. 81, A. M.-The cor
respondent of the Morning Post, -
writing from a point near Rheims un-
der date of Saturday and discussing the
situation in the eastern part of the
Aisne valley, says:
1t is possible that the Germans in
tend to hold this line all winter and if
they fortify their positions it is quite
possible that they can do so. 1t is Ger
tain that they can make no further
move forward into French territory.
Around Rheims there is now only
one point where the Germans have
heavy artillery and this consists of only
one big gun and twenty pieces of small
er field artillery. These are all Aus
trian. This artillery is located near
Berru, some distance from the city,
which, however, IS well within the range
of the big gun. This gun is a rapidly
moving piece, pulled by a motor tractor
and contents itself with a shot or two
daily.
1.-The German infantry lines, how
ever, are much further advanced. The
German trenIshers at Bethune run in a
long unbroken line around to the right
by Cernay. At no point are the French
trenches more than few hundred yards
away.
1.-The Germans have lost no ground
since they captured their Rheims posi-
tion. The ground between trenches is
thicldy covered with barbed wire en-
tanglements.
''In the meantime the artillery duel
along the eastern part of the Asne val
ley is being continued with great vic.
lence. Although the allies seem to hold
the advantage, the battle here is far
from ended and the strong fortified po-
sitions held by the Germans will call
for exceptional measures.
