LONDON, Nov. 14.-The battle of

the German attempt to- advance to
Dunkirk and Calias. on the northern
coast Of France, commenced just four
weeks ago today and despite terrific
fighting and the sacrifice OF thousands
of ives, the two armies still hold vir-
tually the same positions as - hen the
first shot was fired.
After taking Antwerp and Ostepd,
the German forces proceeded with lit
tie or no opposition as far az Nieu-
port on the User Canal. Here they
found against them tho reformed Bel
gian army as we'll 90 an enfilading fire
from British nronit.. . and they were
unablo to make progress. Floods then
completed the discontinue of the in
yaders and they commenced an effort
to break through the allied line be-
tween Dixmude and Ypres.
Tho Germans have had one or two
minor sometimes only temporary
success, such as the crossing of the
canal and the capture of Dixmude,
but now, according to official and 9TH
er reports, while they hold q part sof
Dixmude, they are back on the east
side of the canal and again have
slackened their attacks.

A group OF older people sat around
"a stove fin Anderson yesterday. dis
cussing the approach OF winter and
the fact that the years have brought
about wonderful change in the sea-
sons. They all agreed that, the win
tsrs Of today are regular Indian Sum-
mers when compared to some OF the
cold months they experienced years
ago.
AS q matter of fact, there has been
10 great change in the Winter season.
There was a time when SHOWS three
and four feet deep fell and people
were forced TO stay in the house for
days at time. When some hardy one
would venture forth he wore all the
clothes he could find, invariably wore
hants, and then suffered severely from
the cold. Today young men and young
women trip along the streets in the
dead OF winter with the iilmiest silk
hose and low cut shoes, with nothing
else to protect their feet.
One member OF the party said yes
terday that he well remembered his
red topped boots and that he never
thought winter had come until four
or ave shows fell In succession,
According to the Anderson weather
prophet. this year will be an open fall,
