London, oct. 2-The correspondent of the Times, teIegraphing from Cha Ions. France. under date of Monday, says:
 ..The Germans are gone and cha1ons is rejoicing at the good news. The latest reports seem to indicate a, gem era1 retirement from the lines of de- fense which the Germans constructed to the north of Rheims and to the east and west.
 s'Their trenches on this line are wonderfu1 works Of art. Dug to a depth of six feet. they slare covered and protected in many. cases with lay CTS of reinforced concrete This work was executed by the forced labor of the Inhabitants to form a defensive position in case of need while the troops were still lighting on the Marne.
 tSUp to this line the French worked their way foot by foot until in places their front was not 100 yards from the German trencheH. The condition of these undrained trenches when exam ined will be found to be terrible. The w ounded as we'll as the dead lie where theyfall amid the wet and filth, The

PETROGRAD REPORTS RUSSIAN

Petrograd. Oct. 2-The general staff has given out the following official communication:
 The Russian troops have continued to repulse the enemy from the boun- diaries of the governments of SuwaIlzi and Lomza- The engagement has been very fierce west of Syrnno
 The German troops that were at tacking Ossowetz are retreating has tily to the north. Considerable force of the enemy of which the bulk. arrive from the west, are concentrating in the districts west Of the government of Piotrkow and Kielee The Rus sian cavalry and anguard are recon noitering energetical1y through all that region, impeding through vigorous at taeks the movement Of the enemy. The Germans always endeavor to use the highways in Russian territory because the other roads, being rough, para1yze their artillery trains.
 An attack by the Russian cavalry against the German vanguard in front of Andrew, and mar ching on Helce, was crowned with great success. The German infantry was caught unawares and is retreating in disorder, pursued by the Russian cavalry.

crete walls.
 The offensive by the Russian troops marching through the forests of Au- gustowo was not covered by the artiI- lery. South of Augustowo a hand to- hand engagement took place. It was particularly fierce in the semi-cir- c1e between the Bialobrozeg basin which was crossed by a Russian col umn and the Augustowo canal near the BorId basin. The issue of this engagement was decided by an attack from Augustowo
 Northwest of the coast of Angus towo the Russians were compelled to attack the rear guard of the Germans through numerous defi1es and in for tif1ed positions where the Russian in fantry received great help from it's heavy artillery which caused great losses to the enemy, who were dislodg- ed from the entrenchTnents and retir- ed under our fire.
 'TThe battle is proceeding over an extensive front, the Germans occupy ing positions at Mariampo1e and south of Stshutshin.
 Tn the vicinity of Wresouch the ground Is very rough, making 1t d1ffi- cult for the troops to keep their bat tie lines This has resulted in a series of individual engagements.

Men,s Evenine cIothes.

The masculine dress suit, if not beau tiful, is democratic. It puts all men at a social function on 8 level with one another and saves them from the bit ter rivalry of dress. You never find man dejected and bad tempered be- cause the fellow sitting opposite has better tailor than his or has been able to spend more money upon his dress tie or shirt The vanity of male youth must express itself in socks or his or dinary attire. The democratic dress suit is sacred-Exchange

TO TAKE
 LAND DISMISSED

Hartford, oct. 2-The public utilities commission yesterday dismissed the petition of the Waterbury & Milldale Tramway Co. of Waterbury. which asked for the approval of the taking, of the land of Michael Matteo and Charles soIlock of MiIldale, town of Southington, alleging that the conn pany had found it impossible to ad-i just an amount of damages satfsfac- tory to all parties concerned. The petition was received by the commis sion on September IA and had a. hear ing on September 15. The finding is in part as follows:
 There is, apparently. no provision of law requiring any street railway company to procure the approval of the public utilities Commission for the ritory, for railway purposes. prior to the institution of condemnation pro ceedings under Section 3,68T, which prescribes how land may be taken or acquired under the law of eminent domain both by steam railroads and mission is of opinion that on an or igfnaI layout of street railway over private lands within the conpany's chartered territory, the board of direc- tors of the company should make the location. If the company is unable
 
 pertaining to the damages to. be paid therefor, the proper procedure for the company, (if so authorized by its char ter and in the absence of any charter |requirement Of preliminary approval by this cornmisston) is to make it's ap- plication to judge Of the superior court under the provision of Section 3.6s7 of the General Statutes, and any preliminary order of approval by the public utilities com mission would be wholly inmateria1 and vofd.''
 The commission also had a hearing on the petition of the Danbury & Beth 1 e1 Street Railway Company for ap- proyal of it's proposed method of re- constructing of a. single track and dia- mond turnout on White street between Locust avenue and Granville avenue in Danbury, a distance of about 2 300 feet. The commission voted approval of the proposed work if the company would promise to start immediately so that the fall work of the highway department would not be fnterfered with

WATER WAIST-HlGH IN TRENCHES
 FORCES GERMANS TO FALL BACK


 French in the advanced trenches could hear cries in the night when the firing paused, coming across the narrow belt over which the two armies fought
 These terrible conditions, as much as the French fire, dis1odged the Ger mans from their miniature forts In. some of the trenches on the heights above Rheims the French had to drown the Germans out Lines of hose were laid from the town and the fire pumps worked until the water was breast high.

Not a single house is damaged and only one inhab- itant was killed The German gover- nor imposed a fine of $60O.O00 on the department of Marne, of which Chal-i ons is the principal town. The deputy mayor pleaded for miIdeS treatment and the Prince of Saxony. who is an officer of the German army, seconded his efforts, whereupon the governor reduced the demand to s1O0,O00 which was paid immediately.
