TAFT ENJOYS PLEASURE
 OF PRIVATE LIFE
Addressed Congregation of All Souls
 Church, Washington

Washington, Oct 1S.-The pleasures of private life, after a long public career, were dwelt on by former Presi- dent Taft today in two brief addresses which he made here.
 Mir. Taft attended All Souls church and at the conclusion of the service accepted an invitation to address the congregation.
 '.The last Is months" he said. have been as happy and full of comfort as any period in my life-the comfort humble way-of being able to say what you choose and say only that which you really believe without reservation -is something that the previous ex- perience in Washington in positions ot responsibility makes you appreciate when. you have left them"
 Later MT. Taft visited the National Press club. where he shook hands with several hundred members, caKins many of them by their first names.
 In brief address he said: 'tIt is a real comfort to go away and settle down to quiet, modest, silent life anC then be catapulted once or twice a year into this vortex of political feel ing and ambition and struggling fol the best there is in the country and find that whether it be one administra- ton or another, human nature in poli- tics is very much the same.
 Until you have been elected, unti you have been forced into the apple tree of observation, in the absence oi influence, you really don't know much You might have thought it valuable but you don't know how valuable fol peace and contantment a sense oi humor is."

DANGER OF WOUNDED MExIcANs BEING LEFT TO DIE
By Rigid Enforcement of Order Not. to Permit Them to Cross Borden.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-G Governor, Hunt of Arizona telegraphed the war department that a number of wounded Mexicans were in danger of being left to die from lack of means to give them proper medical attention on the Mexican side.
 The state department decided re-, gently that it was not permissible to- make the American side a hospital ground to which the contending fac-, lions across the border could bring all their wounded to be cared for on neutral territory. It was understood that while General Bliss would be instructed to take such steps as might be necessary to prevent crime against humanity, there would be no change fin his orders to prohibit the bringing of Mexican wounded to the American side except in urgent cases It was explained that ordinarily there was no good reason for making the United States take care of these wounded, as all necessary medical supplies could be procured and taken to them on their own side of the bor- der.

CHANGE IMPENDING
 IN NORTHERN FRANCE
Point Chosen for German Offensive
 Movement Is Not Known.

Berlin, via The Hague and London, Oct 1$.&A1l the signs indicate that a change Is impending in the pro- tracted struggle in northern France, where for weeks the hostile armies have faced each other in such strong ly entrenched positions that neither has been able to advance except at enormous cost. The principal effect of the mutual hanking operations has been to extend the battlels lines with out either side finding a weak spot.
 The German army which besieged Antwerp is now free and the invading forces have been strengthened other wise for an assault against some point in the extended battle front. The point chosen for this offensive movement is being guarded zealously. The bulletins given out by the German headquar- ters throw no light on the nature of the stroke which enthusiastically is i'm pending. America is perhaps better informed concerning this than is Ger many. The latest bulletin reports this stereotyped sentence: "The situation is unchanged"

 REPORT MADE PUBLIC Took Four Days for Allies to Check German Advance on Paris.

London, Oct. IS, 8 p. m-In two long reports made public here today Field Marshal Sir John French, com mander- in-chief of the British forces on the continent, recounts with con- siderable detail the fighting in which the British expedftionary force was engaged during the month ending September 2S.
 This fighting included the retire ment from Mons southward to the Seine and the advance, after most vigorous offensive son the part of the allies, back to the River Aisne and the first stage of the desperate en- counters along the line of that river, which included the crossing of the 5tream in the face of the determined opposition by the Germans. The first report discloses that it was Septem- Der 6 that the allies took the offen- sive which checked the German Gen. 'eral Vons .Kluck's advance to the southeast of Paris and that it re- quired four days to compel the Ger mans to turn their back on the French capital. Two days later the Germans, according to the report, were bach in men, guns, and transport in their retreat. Then commenced the battle of the Aisne which lasted for month and the first phases of which are dealt with.
 In the second report, which is dated October 8. General French refers te the attacks and counter attacks which were still going on when the report was concluded September 20.
 Tn an additional report, General French makes special mention of a long list of officers and men who have distinguished themselves in the fight ing.

Descending 40 feet into the Grand Five and Ten Cent store they opened the safe and took $350; in the Reglino Shoe store they opened the safe and took $500; in the W. L. Taylor Five and Ten Cent store they touched up two safes for a total of $500 they entered the real estate of flee of J. c. Lounsbury and made a haul of S700, and then opened the safe in the Boston Branch Shoe store and got $292. Skyhghts over the store of the w. P. Judd company and the Loomis Temple of Music were opened and the People institute library was also entered, but nothing was taken.
 Cigarette stubs strewn about the floors in all places testified to the coolness of the robbers and as nothing was stolen from the Loomis Music Temple, some wag ventured today that the robbers simply topped off their nights prank by dashing off ''The Tin Roof Glide" on one of the pianos.

FIGHTING FROM BELGIAN
 COAST TO SWITZERLAND
Germans Make Strenuous Efforts to Get Forts at Verdun, Toui and Epi-
 nal.

From the Battle Front, via Paris.
 Oct 19, 12:O6 a. m.-What in previous
 wars would have been called great
 battles were fought today on the
 eastern wing of the fighting line
 stretching from the Belgian coast to
 Switzerland. In this great battle of
 nations, however, these fights are re-
 garded merely as incidents.
 The fighting always has been of the
 most fierce nature in this district,
 owing to the strenuous efforts of the Germans to obtain possession of the strong fortresses of Verdun, Foul, and Epinal, in order to open a way from Metz into France
 Saint-Die, on the Meurthi, 32 miles northeast of Epinal, was the center of today's attacks, which received a re- pulse for the Germans with heavy casualties. The borders of both AL sace and Lorraine also felt the shock Of battle and in the, Vosges the fa- moks French Alpine regiments were in .tontact with German columns. These mountaineers continually keep the Germans busy by utilizing their remarkable mountain guns and balff- ling efforts to drive them out. Their greatest achievement in the recent operations was the cutting of railroad communication between Col mar, capital of Upper Alsace and Muelhausen, Prussia, thereby in- CTcdSlns the ulIncultleS or the Ger mans in sending their wounded to the rear and in bringing up supplies. illuminated by Forest Fires. The Germans have brought up 10- inch mortars in this district, supposed " for an intended eventual siege o1 Belfort.

 Greater Paris normally consumes million tons of coal or more ln tne winter. It is estimated that the res ent stock will last to the middle or December, but no longer. Some or the largest coal fields of Europe are wholly or partially closed. Nothing can get from Germany or Belgium and very little from the 'Sblack country or France on inc Belgian frontier.
