Keith contends that he dreamed he
entered a west side saloon and sent
fer Patti ; that he dreamed the drew u
revolver and said you ruined one
family but you will never ruin an
other, and that he dreamed he fired
and Paul fell dead. In fact. every,
thing appears TO have been a dream
except the revolver, the bullet In the
victims body and the report OF the
coroner's jury. He said he dreamed
he shot Paul because he dreamed
Paul had been 100 attentive to his

Expert counsel and detectives have
been furnished in Keith's case by
James A. Patten. millionaire grain

There are significant rumors of impend-

Allies. The Allies may have been able

feet. If this should prove true. the Ger

The British fleet is in great strength
near the French and Belgian seacoast
towns and with the protection OF their
guns, an Allied force, either a naval
brigade or an army detachment, could
operate, safe in the knowledge that when
the fighting beca ne too hot they could
retire to their transports under cover OF
the great fleet guns.
Oficial confirmation OF the French ad-
vance close to the guns of Metz soon
may be expected. II the Allies succeed

LONDON. oct. 9O-The military expert
OF the London Times, after reviewing Sir
John French's latest dispatches, writes:
"The study of these dispatches should

the German armies in France, after their
first bolt was shot, have in the course of
the last two months accomplished any
thing at all except the destruction of a
few forts b. heavy guns.
THE German armies have not sustained
their reputation, and the Allied troops
have now no difficulty in repulsing them;
less and less appears to be the respect
which the Germans inspire, and the virtue
of staying power can scarcely be at
tributed TO them.

The supreme test of individual prowess
In arms, however, has now come in south
western Belgium, where the fiat nature
of the terrain and the almost complete
absence of facilities for the construction
oc intrenchments and defensive works
necessitates to a degree fighting in the
open. Here decisive result is inevitable.
The Allies now are not confronted with
the same conditions which obtained when
they contested with General Won Kluk
and General Won Buelow Belgian territory
two months ago.
Today the German is fighting upon this
field second time, and his opponent is
Belgian, whose grit and the principle
for which he fights make up in large
measures for what he may lack in mill
tary training: a Frenchman, whose fight
ing spirit has been kindled by success in
battle and the bitter desires of A years,
and Briton, fighter of intelligence and
indomitable perseverance.
This allied force has tasted and test
ed the German military strength. The
fact that they have thrust forward con-
siderable advances within the last few
days, even after the Germans had re.
leased to the firing line men from gar
risons that were obligatory while the
Belgians were in the north, indicates
that the offensive is being pushed with
vigor made possible by numerical
strength.
