Local Happenings
October.

Now, the ripe October days,
The parting of the verdant ways,
To scenes of painted glory.
And blending with the rudy leaves,
Fulfilled the summers glory.
The bee, yet wings a shortened round.
When late the golden rod is found,
The frost has missed in falling.
And now and then across the sky,
A lone bird fits with pleading cry,
His migrate fellows calling
At sunrise from the splendid hills,
A magic breath invites, instills,
A charm to natures lovers,
To come and drink the soulful mood
That Autumn spells within the wood,
Ere winters mantle covers.

Official news from Poland continues
TO be scanty, and, with both head
quarters claiming success, 1t is i'm
possible to say how the battle is 60
ing. OF its intensity, however, there
can be no doubt
The Germans, when they started
for Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a
mass of Russian troops and forced
their way so far in that the Russians
closed on them. This was taken in
Petrograd to mean that some OF the
German divisions had been cut OF
and that their surrender or annihila-
tion was inevitable.
The losses. with the desperate
fighting that has been going on for a
fortnight, must necessarily be very
heavy on both sides.
Germans Escape Trap.

story OF success for the German trooFN

SLAMS who pressed them hard. coming
from the east and south.
The German troops turned from the
Russians with whom they we're en-
gagged and fought a very bitter three
day fight and broke through the Rus
sian ring. In doing so they brought
with them twelve thousand prisoners
as well as twenty-five guns and lost
only one German gun.
