Prepared to Receive German
Reserves Now En- Route.
Their Line Extends From Ypres
to the Sea.

Paris. Oct. 1e.-Germany IL planning
the sacrifice OF her new reserve army
in a final desperate attempt to crush
France. Realization Of this came home
to everyone here today when the war
office announced that the allied line
now extends from Ypres to the sea-
This new line. including Britain's newly
arrived forces and the French reserves
from the south of France. was created
to prevent q general outflanking Oper-
alton by enormous number Of German
reserves, reported traverstng Germany,
port reaching here placed the number
Of these vast hordes at not less than
2lO.0OO men with all branches of the
service included.
when they arrive they will find the
allies ready for them. Strongly en-
trenched positions have been taken
up and. the line Of battle. extending
sea, between Dunlkirk and. the Bell
gian frontier. to iYpres and then in q
curving formation southwark across
the Somme to the Disc and the Aisne
and again eastward across France. is
one that the military experts here say
can be held indefinitely. And with
their flank protected and in line
across the north through which it is
positively declared the Garmans will
be unable to break, the allied COM
manderS are today continuing their
offensive all along the battle front.
The Official communication empha-
sized this when in laconic sentence 1t
declared that the advances reported
yesterday were confirmed today. This
was Frances answer to Germany's de-
NAL that any German position other
than those voluntarily abandoned had
been taken by the allies.
1t is no secret in military circles that
important developments are taking
place on the right of the center. and on
the French right. The French are maxi
ing q desperate effort to break through
the German line here and there is a
growing belief that they will succeed.
The Germans have been driven
back by the French troops that have
destroyed the offensive from the Toul
and Nancy garrisons and there is a.
strong possibility that their commun-
ication between Metz and the Meuse
will be interrupted.
The French are taking advantage
OF the weakening of the German line
in the eastern portion OF France and
are hurrying fresh troops into action.

FILES A PROTEST.
British Ambassador Charges Violation
of Neutrality at Manila.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Sir Cecil
Spring-Ric the British ambassador,
called the attention of Acting Secre-
tary Lansing today to alleged VIOLA
lions of neutrality in the Philippines,
where he said the British government
believed various German ships had
been coaled at sea from Manila. In
quiry was directed Immediately by the
state department to the authorities at
Manila. According to advices to the
embassy, other neutral vessels than
the American steamer Rio Pasig re-
Gently seized as a prize by the British
and carried to Hong Kong have been
secretly supplying the German cruisers
which have been preying on British
commerce in far eastern waters.
The ambassador discussed with Mr..
Lansing the question of what restric-
tons might be laid on this practice.
The state department recently took
the ground that merchant vessels,
even under neutral flags, could not
legally carry supplies from American
Atlantic ports to the German cruisers
off the coast and West Indian waters,
and the ambassador asks that the
same doctrine shall be applied to the
Philippines. 7s7.s7R4s~

European Nations Have Otter

In the history Of Europe during the
past century nothing is more curious
than the easy way in which national
alliances have been made, broken.
made again. and changed as dynastic,
economic, and racial reasons have de-
manded. Here are few OF these po-
litical transformations:
In 1915 Russia, Prussia, England
and Austria combined against France
and crushed the power Of Napoleon
forever.
In 1848, when revolution in Hun
gary threatened the house of Haps-
burg in Austria. Russia interviewed,
and by force of arms placed the pres
ent emperor. Francis Joseph, firmly
upon his throne.
In 1885, England, France, Austria
and Italy allied themselves with the
Turks against Russia in the Crimean
war.
In 1859 France defeated Austria in
italy and gave great impetus to the
unif1cation Of Italy.
In 1866 Prussia gave its present al
~, Austria, a fearful beating at Sa-
dowa, and forced it out of first place
in the, Germanic confederation.
In 1870 Prussia inflicted upon
France the defeat with accompanying
loss of territory, that has been the
cause of EurOpe's unrest ever since.
In 1877 Russia defeated the Turks
decisively. but was cheated out of the
rightful fruits of her victory by a
% the other powers in
the treaty of Berlin.
Old-.Ienmities and friendships are
now forgotten. and Italy, which de-
tests both Austria. and Germany. Is
united with them in the triple a1li-
ance, while those old-time enemies.
England and Russia, are allied with
France in the triple entente.

Luke MGLuke Says
Cincinnati Enquirer

When a man tells his age he usually
adds year or two. But a woman al
ways knocks off six or seven years.
Some of the fellows who believe only
half what they hear always believe the
wrong half.
Some girls marry for love. few
marry for money. And a lot more marry
because it is their last chance.
They are all alike. A little girl with a
ring that has a glass set is perfectly con-
tented until she meets another little girl
who has ring with two glass sets in it
Lots of men who brag that they always
profit by their mistakes, will go ahead
and get married the second time.
The fellow who always advises his
wife TO act as she thinks best is always
Dragging that his wife always acts on his
advice.
If you steal money you can serve your
sentence and get some time off for good
behavior. But you never get off that
easy when you marry money.
A bachelor can be fool and live in
blissful ignorance of the fact. But a
married man is reminded of it dozen
times day.
Somehow or other the fellow who is
always roofing for his Heavenly Home
wants TO stick around in this Wicked
World just as long as he possibly can.
The accident insurance companies are
not in business for their health. That's
the reason why yon can't get a policy
that insures against accidental marri-
age.
y third party never makes hit with
a Republican, a Democrat, or a Lover.
The fellow who can tell you all about
Gains wife is usually the same lad who
couldn't repeat the names OF more than
four Of the Twelve Apostles.
Some fellows can't wait and try to
beat the barber with a biplane or
monoplane. But most of us are willing
60 do our flying after we become angels.
1t may surprise most married women
to know that the word husband had its
origin in the term "bouse-bound," mean
ing a man who had taken a wife and
was bound TO the house.
