FURIOUS BATTLE NEAR LAbASSEE Germans Trying to Get Lose From Grip of the
 Allies

Paris. October 25.-C1:l5 D. m.)-The Germans at Labassee are making des- perate efforts to shake themselves loose from the close grip of the lilies. who menace their line of communications with Armentieres. Both armies received rein forcements, but the allied lines today withstcod formidable shocks and delivered severe counter attacks. The battle is of q very furious nature
 Gen. Won KluoS's army, which was thought to be in Belgium, has not moved from it's position on tho Aisne, but three other German armies have completely changed their fronts. Grand Duke AL brecht of Wurtemberg now commands the forces in Belgium, while Gen. Won Bue- low is further down and the army of Grown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria is stretched along a line of trenches on an extended battle front between the Somme and the Aisne and from Rheims to the Argonne region.
 In this last named region fa@ fighting is desultory. The positions of the oppos- ing armies arc too strong to permit of successful assaults and the campaign has become one of patient endurance. Most of the men lie on the straw in the deep trenches, but look ont from time to time to take shot at their adversaries, and a general exchange of rifle fire follows for time
 The fighting fin the Argonne forests has been very heavy. Two French avia- tors today pursued and brought down a German aeroplane east of Amiens
 Both were decorated with the military medal of honor on the field. A German aeroplane threw four bombs into yerdun, but they did little damage.

ALLIES SUCCESS IN REFUSING FURIOUS
 GERMAN ATTACKS
 ENCOURAGES FRANCE
,continuea from Page o.e,

There is no change to report between the sea and the region around Arras.p
 To add to the trials of the troops en- gagged in the desperate fighting, a short spell of fine weather has given place to another downpour of rain, which will con vert the lowlands of Flanders into great lakes.
 Of the battle on the center and left wing the German report does not speak. Tho French declare they are maintaining their positions in the Argonne and along the Mouse. From official sources 1t is learned the French have made some ad vance in the mountains along the Alsace border.
 In Poland a very heavy battle is in progress between the fortregses of Ivan gorod and Radon, where the Germans and Austrians. defeated in their first attempt to cross the vistua, have made stand
 Both sides have, according to their own reports, made prisoners and captured guns, but the battle. extending over a front of 26 miles, has not yet been de- cided.
 The Austrians still are making bold effort to cross the River San and are carrying on a splendid fight south of Przemysl in the hope of reaching and re- capturing Lemberg.
 The Montenegrins today admit that they have had to withdraw to their previous positions along the Bosnian frontier, after an attack by a superior force of Aus trians. The latter seem to have made e wonderful recovery.
 Turkey again has assured Great Britain France and Russia that she intends to remain neutral She continues her mill tary activities. however and is collect ing transport animals, which. it is said, are destined for the Egyptian frontier. It is considered that the presence of strong Russian forces on the Turkish border has influenced her not to take any action against the allies.

Pa He first spoke of the inception
of the movement for the new build
ing, and told of delivering an address

plimented the citizens of the city
upon their generosity in raising
funds sufficient for the construction
OF such an institution. The objects
and purpose of the hospital were de-
fined by the speaker and the build
ing was characterized as a House
OF God. in which the praise and the
glory OF the Creator are sounded not
so much in psalm and song, as in the
god-like ministrations OF love and
knowledge exercised by the priests
and pfiestesses OF the cult Of broth
erly love and sublime faith"
He concluded with the hope that
