to the ear Of the German general stan,
for it appears that various plausible
people, self-styled journalists, business
agents, and others, began to call upon

out a special guard was placed outside
M. Turpin's residence to warn on
all unauthorized persons. Within the
last few weeks, however, Mr.. Tur-
pin has taken up his quarters at
magnetic factory in populous Paris
suburb, where number of men nave
been engaged in preparing the COM
ponent parts of the turpinite shells,
which are finished off in private lab
oratory by Mr.. Turpin and two assist
ants, who work with the doors locked.
For special reasons, which it would
be unfair to divulge at the present
moment, am strongly of opinion that
these shells have not been used to
any extent by the French armies IN
the field. Probably an actual test I'M

once or twice, but no more. A num-

of the matter, and imagination has

''That this terrific explosive will,
however, be used in case of such an
eventuality as, say, an attempt TO
take Paris by storm I have no doubt,
but I am convinced that, despite the
thousands of bombs now prepared and
the special apparatuses tnat are being
cast, this explosive, a single 56-pound
shell of which is able to kill-so to
speak-to 'petrify' every living thing
in a space Of 400 square yards, will
not be used unless in very desperate
circumstances, and only with the full
consent of Frances allies"

Russians Make strono claims.

Petrograd, Oct. 6.-The Germans
have been heavily defeated all along
their line, which extended originally
"a miles into Russian territory.
German invaders are fleeing in dis
order through a terrible country, pur-
sued by Russian cavalry and guns. 1t
appears from reports received here
that the German forces were practi-
cally annihilated, for in fighting they
lost from 70 to 80 per cent The roads
are strewn with bodies along the Ger
man line of retreat.
The receipt of this news for the
first time since the beginning of the
war reused the Russians to the height
of rejoicing. Some twelve to fourteen
German army corps were dealt with
in one week

HALF WORKS WHILE
OTHER HALF SLEEPS

London.-The secret of the tremen-
dous German dash through Belgium
and on the outskirts of Paris now ap-
pears to be explained, according to a
British officer who has returned
wounded to England. The German
army was organized as are the work
ers in a factory or coal mine. That
is, they worked in two shifts. Through
out the advance from Liege half the
army was sleeping while the other
half was attacking or advancing, and
by these tactics they kept the allies
constantly awake and wore them out
by sheer want of sleep.
The fall Of Namur was almost en-
tirely due to the two shift tactics of
the German army. The bombardmeMt
of that town, it will be remembered,
was continuous for three days-from
Thursday, August 20, until five o'clock
on the following Sunday afternoon
It is obvious that the German attack
ers must have worked two shifts to
have carried on such bombardment.
Even If the gunners were beyond the
range of Belgian fire and safe from at
tack, they could not have kept it up
for 70 consecutive hours. In the gar
rison of Namur sleep would have been
impossible under such terrific can
nonade, and want of sleep is a
stronger engine of war than even the
German 11-inch howitzers.
From Namur right down through
the northwestern part of France the
German advance was conducted on the
two shift" principle, which means
that twice day when the shift that
has just slept, comes up to the front
to relieve the shift" whose time for
sleep has come, the firing line is re-
enforced to the full strength of the
army and vast attacks can be
launched. These, it will be observed,
have been the tactics employed for
the great German dashes have not
been continuous, although the general
movement forward during that stage
of the war was.
Only soldiers who have fought
through arduous campaigns can real
ize that sleep is a thing to which the
brayest soldiers must eventually sue
cumb. 1t is struggle to beat off the
healthy approach of sleep only for
"a hours; 20 hours is longer than most
human beings can resist it, and by
that time it is so strong that it out
weighs other considerations.

of petrol The attempts Of the Ger
mans to break or weaken the allies
grip round the whole curve from
Noyon to Arras have been foiled.
Fail to Pierce German Line.
Paris, Oct. 5.-The allies advanced
in the neighborhood of Albert today,
but according to an official French war
Office statement issued tonight de-
tachment which went out OF Arras
was forced back by the Germans, al
though it kept position to the east
and north of that city.
The activity about Arras shows the
extent to which the fighting in the
western area of the battle of the Aisne
has been pushed northward by the
allies in their turning movement on
the German right wing. The allies
forces now are about thirty miles
from the Belgian border.
Germans Are Confident.
Berlin, Oct. (by wireless to Lon
dom The situation throughout the
entire theater of war is daily becoming
more favorable to Germany. Full conf
dence is felt in Berlin and great de-
cision is expected soon.
The main headquarters Of the army
reports that the encircling movements
attempted by the French against the
German right wing on October 2 were
repulsed and the enemy's forces driven
from their positions.
On the center of the battle front the
situation is unchanged.
The French attempted to advance
east of the Mouse by night and were
repulsed with heavy losses.
In France the French have been
elected from their positions to the
south of Roye and repeated sorties
from the fortified position of Toul have
been repulsed with heavy losses.
Losses in dead and wounded in the
battle which is now in its twenty
fourth day have been so appalling
that the military officials have decided
to refrain even from estimating the
casualties until decision in the great
conflict at least is more imminent.
French Resume Offensive.
London, Oct. 5.-Having repulsed
the German attacks, presumably in the
vicinity of Roye, the French troops,
says the official communication issued
tonight at Paris, have resumed the
offensive at several points, while 9th
er positions on their left have been
con our left wing the struggle is in
full swing in the region of Arras," is
the announcement of the French war
office.
The great efforts of the allies to
envelop the German right may there
fore be said to be again in operation.
1t is believed the whole French column
from Roye northward to Arras is NOV
ing eastward against the German po-
sitions.

On the Battle Front, via Paris, OCT.
6.-The allied armies, after having
permitted their adversaries, as they
thought, to exhaust themselves by
continued attacks, took most v1gor-
GUS offensive today. The British and
French encountered such strong re-
sistance, however, that their most ad-
vanced attachments on the western
wing were compelled to fall back.
Only at this part of the long battle
line did the opposing troops actually
come into close contact.
The allied armies are continually
extending toward the north and bend
ing eastward toward the Belgian
frontier, thus compelling the Ger
mans, in order to prevent the crump-
ling up of their main army, to move
large forces from the center and so
keep pace with the allies, whose po-
sition menaces the invaders aloag the
whole line.
The allies plan, it is thought, may
compel the Germans to release the
pressure on the Belgians.
Won Kluck Turns Tables.
London, Oct. General Won Kluck,
REINFORCED with troops from the Ger
termined stand against the attempt
of the allies to outf1ank him.
The French, who officially reported
Sunday that all German attacks in
this region of the battle in France
had been repulsed and that the al
lies had resumed the offensive, an
nounced today that the battle north of
the Disc, which began seriously about
September 25, continued with great
violence with no decisive result and
that at certain points the French
troops had been forced to yield
ground.
The Germans in their report said
the battle was proceeding success
fully for them.
In both London and Paris there is
the greatest confidence, although
some surprise is displayed at the sue
cess of the Germans in preventing the
outflanking movement. There is
cannot extend their line much further
north without weakening it at some
point.
Along the rest of the line the
French communication says there has
been no change.
The rapidity with which the French
change positions, is considered re-

fantry marched nearly thirty miles
Saturday and twenty-eight miles Sun

The Germans, however, by means
of their ayiators,, who are continually
fitting over the lines despite numer-
Gus casualties, discovered the move
ments and brought up reinforce
ments to meet them.
AS the Germans occupy the inside
of the circle, they are able to reach
an appointed spot with much shorter
marches.
1t was this that enabled them to
force the advanced guards of the al
lies to cede a small amount of ground
until further assistance came.
