GENERAL At FRONT DECLARES
BELGIAN CITY WILL BE RE-
TAKEN SOON.
GERMANS STILL CLING
TO BELGIAN COAST
British Navy Expected to Succeed in
Driving Invaders Several Miles In
iand-stubborn Fighting by Both
sides continuss-AlIiss Claim They
Have Maintained Positions.

London, Oct 22-one Of the generals
Of the allied armies near the Belgian
border is quoted as having said yes
terday I'VE shall most certainly De IN
Brussels under month. I. myself, ex-
pect in fortnight"
This probably represents the impress
sion obtaining here. even tho there IS
to be found little demonstrate PROOF
of many specific success SO decisive
in its consequence as to constitute q
victory or defeat.
Meanwhile anticipation of the Ger
man evacuation of the Belgian coast
is still unrealized, tho If the Brltlsh
fleet is able for little time to main
tain undisturbed its present point OF
vantage. it can assuredly render the
few miles Immediately abutting the sea
untenable.
Fighting IL Stubborn.
Whether the network OF canals IN
this part of Belgium will enable the
monitors to go inland has not vet
transpired. The fighting from all
accounts is as stubborn as In any stage
ofNhe war thus far. Every foot of the
battle ground in west FLANDERS is con-
tested Every village is taken ana
retaken. The rush tactics which chaf-
acterized the first part of the CAM
paign are being repeated and ootn
sides claim that they regularly repuise
the onslaughts.
Judging from the French official re-
port the allies claim to have acquired
q .'holding' habit which they lacked
in the early stages OF the war, when
they were admittedly in state OF un-
preparedness.
The German intelligence department.
largely battles the attempts OF unbiaseo
observers to guage the actual situa-
tion, which, when Berlin Is heard from
may assume An entirely different as
,ect.
A rumor comes from Ostend that the
allies have succeeded in blowing up
the railroad between Burgess and
Client. It is quite possible. it is stat
ed here, that cav@.-y scouts already
are in that vicinity.
Stories differ as to the fate of Prince
Maximillian OF Hesse. whose body Is
reported to have been found In nortn-
ern France by French troops. A later
report from Berlin states that the
prince was wounded.
Aviators Direct Fire.
sDThe furious bombardment between
pstend and Nieuport continues today"
according to dispatch appearing in
the TELEGRAPH of Amsterdam and tele-
rraphed to London by the correspond
ent in that city of the Exchange Tele-
graph Company.
"The Germans are firing from Mari
akerke and Mddelkerke: the French
from Nieuport and the English from the
war ships. English aviators directed
the fire of the allies on the German
positions"

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS
AT THE GUARANTEE

The front Of the dry goods store of
Mr.. Joseph Malaver on the west side
of the court house square, will in a
few days be changed around so as to
give additional show window space.
The door way will be widened and
the vestibule will be deepened. This
will give a larger space between
the front and the inside walls of the
window for displaying goods. The
vestibule will be tiled and everything
will be brought right up to date.
Though the show windows in this
place have only been built few
years, Mr. Malaver's determination
to keep abreast of the times with the
most modern appliances has made
the change necessary. New cabinets
for the display of clothing and hats
have been ordered and Will also be
in place within the month.

Italians Are Veqetarians.

Being newcomers the Italians are
doing the heavy, unskilled work
which was once the prerogative of the
Irish. The shovel is now as firmly, as
ISOLATED in our minds with Tonic as
formerly with Barney. The northern
Italians go much into mine and quarry
and silk mill, but the others stick
close to railroad, street and construc-
ton work. OF our railroads it has been
said that Italians build them, Irish
run them and Jews own them" Nearer
to the truth. perhaps, is the New York
mot. Houses nowadays are built by
Italians. owned by Jews and paid for
by Irish tenants" Being small and
vegetarian. the Italians are not pre-
TERED in earthwork for their physical
strength, but because of their endur.
ance of heat, cold. wet and muck. As
one contractor put it, They can stand
the gaff. Century.
