WARSAW POOHS
AT DANGER OF

Petrograd, Oct. 4.-The military
governor of Warsaw posted the fol-
lowing notice:
"For some time past the population
has been agitated by absurd reports
of the probability of a hostile occu-
patton. BY order of the commander
of the army, inform the public that
Warsaw and it's vicinity are beyond
all danger from the enemy. beg the
inhabitants to be calm and carry on
their business. The military critics
of Russky Slowo say that the German
army assembled in SiIesia includes two
Bavarian corps and that the army is
commanded by the King of Bavaria.
"The Russians now have to deal with
total of six armies" he says. 1.-TWO
of these in East Prussia constitute the
left flank, two in West Poland form
the center and two others are con-
centrating on the right wing in West
Galicia.

mans and the peasants hunt each
other in the forest with the aid OF
snares and entaneements. No mercy

lrs ana sang the way into the hearts Of
audience at the closing concert of
t=e Eastern Maine Music Festival here
saturday and there is no doubt of her
triumph. She was distinctly the sensa-
ton of the festival and her sweet, bird
like voice. over which she showed per-
feet control, coupled with her attractive
personality, combined to make her re-
toption a notable one.
All OF the artists, however, were at
their best, and Saturday nights concert
s. generally remarked as being the most
successful of the week. despite the fact
that the size of the audience left much
to be desired.
Jean Cooper, Mrs. Otis. Giordana and
P,cco all fairly outdid themselves, the
quartet from Rigoletto being especially
noteworthy. Giordana and Miss Morgana
scored a tremendous hit in the Misererie
scene from Trovatore and were obliged
to respond to encores again and again.
Piece was in much better voice than at
any previous concert and sang with a
finish and mellowness which left nothing
to be desired Giordano again demon
strated the hold he now has on the affec-
tons of eastern Maine audiences and was
greeted with applause which was little
short of an ovation, and Jean Cooper's
contralto voice showed a remarkable
fute-like quality and she is assured of a
warm welcome here in the future.

London, Oct. 4.-9.25 P. M
Having repulsed the German at
tacks, presumably in the vicin-
ity of Roye, the French, accord
ing to the official communication
issued this afternoon at Paris,
have resumed the offensive at
several points, while other posi-
tiOns on their left have been ap-
preciabIy maintained.
The great effort of the Allies
to envelop the German right may
therefore be said to be again in
operation and it is believed that
the whole French column from
ROye northward to Arras is NOV
ing eastward against the Ger
man positions. 1t is the same
operation that has been tried
repeatedly for the last three
weeks in an attempt to reach the
German lines of communication
and either encircle the German
army forming the right wing or
force it to fall back to Belgium
and Luxembourg. The Germans
have had a long time in which
to make their positions secure
so that there is a lot of hard
fighting ahead for both the at
lacking forces and the defend
ers. The defensive role is now
apparently being assumed by the
invaders.
In the center, from the Disc
to the Argonne, the two we'll
entrenched armies are still
watching each other, ready at a
moments notice to meet attacks,
or, on the advice of aerial OBJ
servers, to move to some point
where the line is threatened.
While there have been many of
these movements, there is little,
according to the French report,
to record. In other words, the
situation remains virtually as it
was.
In the Argonne district, where
the Crown Princes army at
tempted an advance a few days
ago, there has been additional
fighting with the result that the
Germans have been pushed back
northward. In southern Woe
vre the French are making
progress, but very slowly"
against the Germans, who cross
ed the Meuse at st. Mihiel, but
later were forced back over that
river.
In Lorraine and the VOsges,
there is no change in the posi-
tions of the opposing armies.
This probably is accounted for
by the fact that the Germans
have not sufficient forces to at
tack the almost impregnable
