ADVANCE, SAYS
PARIS REPORT
Special by United Press Wire.

cVtClut w Cnlte0 PTS6S WfT0.
Paris, Oct. 26:-Meagre advices from
the front indicated today that the Ger
mans, who have crossed the User in
enormous force, are pressing slowly for
ward, encountering determined opposi-
tion. AT other points in the north, not
ably to the east and northeast of Ypres
and between Lille and Armentieres, the
German offensive, while most energetic,
is reported checked.
Reinforcements have been sent to tho
north and the British warships continue
to sweep the Germans with deadly FIRE
wherever they try to push their lines
back to the coast. In consequence Of
the deadly nature Of the shell fire from
the coast, the Germans had abandoned
most of their positions along the main
roadway connecting Ostend and Nieu-
port They, however, have batteries
posted at all points where hostile
force could be landed from the sea, so
no attempt has yetNbeen made to try
q Ranking assault under cover of the
guns of the warships. Severe fighting
was reported continuing today in the
Woevre and Argonne regions. The
Germans have brought up heavy bat
terry to destroy French artillery posted
to command the line of communication
towards st. Mihiel to the Thiaucourt-
Nousard road.
There is much complaint over the in
eIeasing meagreness of the official news
from the front. Officers and men
brought here wounded are sternly en-
joined not to talk. The officials at mil
itary headquarters here add nothing to
the official communique that are wired
from Bordeaux, but it is eartsi .,thhx
the losses are increasing every day ~ -
that in the last ten days Of fighting ts
allies must have had fully 10000 In
killed, wounded and prisoners, each
day. Many Of the crack Scotch Irish
regiments whose places along the
Somme have been taken by French
troops and who are now fighting far in
the north, have lost fully forty per
cent. of their enlisted strength in the
last ten days of fighting, while there
is a melancholy satisfaction in the cer-
tainty that Germans have also suffered
much more severely. The appearance
the war has now taken has had a mel
ancholy effect on everyone here.

ERECTION OF
HOUSE TODAY
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, Oct. 26:-An
action brought by Walter Naleba and
others against John Kuzma and Eliz-
abeth, his wife, involving the erec-
tion of house for the defendants in
Perth Amboy, is on trial today be-
fore Judge DAILY and jury here.
Thomas Brown appears as counsel

bricks, $96 on excavation, SAT on
preparing plans and specifications,
$11 on constructing a fence about
the cellar and s565 profit.
Mr.. Kehoe stated In behalf of the
defendants in court today that the
contractors In question were "a
couple of adventures" who, he de-
clared, had started the work with
out first obtaining a permit from the
building inspector. AS the owners
did not favor such a method, they
discharged the contractors, Mr..
Kehoe said.

MOIHERESCAPESW WITH
BABY AS FIRE SWEEPS
BUILDING At NIGHT
Traffic Blocked When Fire Gut
ted FoTesters' Hall In State
Street, Wen Great Damage
Is Done D Stock Of Stores.

Traffic In State street near Smith,
was blocked for an hour Saturday
night, when fire gutted Forester's
hall on the third floor of the build
ing at $40 State street; the living
apartments on the second floor and
the clothing store OF Nathan Jacob
sen on the first floor were flooded
by water. The total damage Is esti-
mated between $4,000 and $4,000,
practically all Of which is covered
by insurance.
Though the blaze was not discov-
cred until some time after /, origi-
mated, the firemen quickly checked
the flames on their arrival, and con-
fined them to the top floor of the
brick building Alarm was given
from box 81, at Smith and State
streets about $50 o'clock and, Sat-
urday night shoppers thronged to
the scene. Three thousand people
are said to have watched the fire,
which for time spurted flames
from the front windows of the lodge
rooms. Just what caused the blaze
could not be determined, some de-
claring that it resulted from a care
IL
attribute it to defective wiring.
First to Discover Blaze.
Mrs. L. B. Borak was probably the
first to discover the blaze. She was in
her apartments ON the second floor
when she heard cracking sounds above.
She went to investigate and when she
got to the hallway it was filed with
smoke. She instantly sent her son, Hy-
man, to have the alarm given, while
she rescued her infant child, asleep in
a bedroom.
The flames originated in the rear of
the hall and by the time the alarm was
given had eaten their way through the
room to the front, and the place was a
roaring furnace when the iremen ar
rived. The Lincoln and Mcclellan
steamers pumped water on the blaze,
one Of the engines supplying the hose
trained on the rear and one the hose
trained on the front The flames were
eytinguished in about forty-ive min
utes.
The apartments on the second floor
were flooded from water running from
the top story, and a hole was cut
through in a hall on the second floor
letting the water down into the center
of Jacobsen IS clothing store. A hole
was then cut in the store floor, which
let the water into the cellar. These
openings in the floors centered the wa
ter and prevented much damage. The
cellar of the store was overhowed, as
was the cellar of the Globe next door.
Everything was covered by insurance
except the hair-dressing stock carried
by Mrs. Borak. The Foresters had
their lodge furniture and paraphernalia
insured for $500, and John W. Ellie,
owner of the building, carried insur-
ance sufficient to cover the loss.
During the fire Max Levinson, clerk
for Mr.. Jacobsen, rescued purse and
q canary from the apartments Of Mrs.
Borak After the fire had been ex-
tinguished William j. 'Hara was de-
taching hose from the Lincoln en-
gine and thought he had turned the
plug off, but instead had turned it still
further the other way. When he got
the link disconnected he was struck by
the stream of water from the plug and
drenched.
