OF ALLIED FORCES
French Believe Best Results
viii Come It Army Main
tains Offensive.
BY the Associated Prrs..

PARIS, Oct. Embarrassing salts
faction was shown by the people of
Paris. today on reading the latest re-
ports from the front. These Indicate
that the allies are continuing their
offensive operations which, In the
opinion of French observers, promise
the best results. The action of the
Belgian army and of a squadron OF
British warships in repulsing an at
tack by the enemy Is a subject of
particularly favorable comment.
The public was equally If not more
gratified by the announcement OF the
situation IN Alsace. This was the first
time in some days that the war office
has indicated definitely the French
positions. It Is now seen that French
troops have almost reached the out
let of the valleys leading to the plains
of the river Ill, which flows north
through Alsace and empties into the
aRhine The French now consider
that they are firmly established in
Alsace on territory doubly dear to
them. Word has been received also
that the Germans are hastily prepar-
ing new defensive works around
Strassburg, and digging innumerable
trenches in front of this city. Vine.
yards have been leveled by the Ger
man. engineers in carrying out this
work.
The fighting in the vicinity of Lille
has been watched with deep interest
here, and It. is hoped that not many
days win pass before the allies take
this position.
The Institute of France, after a
prolonged and lively meeting, has de-
cided to read in public at its annual
meeting next Monday the report of
five of its members condemning the
course of Germany in the present
war f.sz
After long continued negotiations
through the Intermediary of the
American legation at Berne, Switzer
land, exchanges are about to be made
among the belligerent countries of
informed civilians. 1t has been de-
cided that. all women and children
and all males under seventeen years
of age will be exchanged between
France and Austria. SO far as Is
known here the arrangements with
Germany have not been fully COM
pleted, but ii Is believed several
train loads of German civilians in
France will be allowed to run to the
German frontier. Certain German

Brensinger's Car Threat
May Not Be Carried Out



JERSEY CITY, Oct. 20.--Just what
George It. Brensinger, commissioner
of finance, will do tomorrow In re-
gard to selling cars of the Public
Service Railway Company Is a mat
ter of conjecture. Mr.. Brensinger
FIRST threatened to levy on them yes
terday, but he deferred his action
until Wednesday.
Yesterday Matthew r. Boylan.

vice railway, visited Mr.. Brensinger
and showed him that the franchise
tax had been paid for 1907. 1911, 1912
and 1918, submitting the receipts as
proof. Mr.. Brensinger still insisted
that the company had not paid the
entire amount
In reply to this Mr.. Boylan said
that the company was authorized by
law to deduct local payments from the
amount of the franchise tax owing
under the State laws. Commissioner
Brensinger denied this and sent for
COPY of the laws of 1909 and Assistant
City Attorney Bentley. Mr.. Boylan
pointed out in the law where the COM
pany Is specially authorized to deduct
such payments. For the time being
Commissioner Brensinger was nom
plused. He had one of his clerks,
who had made the alleged discovery
of non-payment, look up his records.
1t was found that the amounts paid,
instead Of being credited as they
should have been, had been entered
on another account
do you people want TO get out an
injunction 2" Commissioner Brensinger
asked Mr.. Boylan.
mo" replied the latter. I'VE have
paid the bill and the matter is now up
to YOU"
Attorney Bentley said that he would
look further into the law. and it was
then that Commissioner Brensinger
announced that he would postpone his
seizure of the trolley lines

affirms and reaffirms that the time

many. II the allies are to give any
evidence of their ability to crush the
powerful German military machine
they had better begin before it is en-
tirely too late. Should the German
armies sweep, along the French coast
and seize the channel ports, and we
4have every reason to believe that they
can do so, the situation in France
VIII be entirely favorable from the
German standpoint.
zone of the most absorbing COLI
lateral topics of the present situa-
ton is the plan which Germany has
in view for the aiming of a blow at
England. 1t can be assumed that the
German general staff has developed
some method of meeting the English
situation.

greatest sacrifices. She is now fight
