Allies Yield Ground.

On the Battle Front, via The
Hague, Oct 24-The allies vigorous
attack on the German lines before
Lille has failed. The French and Brit
ish are being driven steadily to the
westward.
The principal gains of the Germans
during the day were made in the vi
Cinity of La Bassee. The Germans
made a sortie ana fell on the allies
lines. which retired in some confu-
sion.
The Germans gain at La 3assee was
greater than at any other portion of
the line, but the day saw large acces-
sions to the territory occupied by the
Teuton armies all along the battle
front.
Two French Forts Taken.
The German attack on Belfort, by
which route it is hoped to hurl the
kaiser's armies again toward Paris, is
proceeding. Two French forts to the
south of the main fortress have capitu-
lated to the Germans, the garrisons

The development at Belfort, coming
close upon successful operations at
Verdun and the holding of ST Mihiel
against tremendous odds, is believed
here to presage the final breaking of

The ferocity of the encounters

come In contact with the invaders
around Arras LA Bassee and Armen-

the history of war. The carnage has
been frightful.
French Retreat Admitted.
The net result C the days fighting
in this region has been gains at col
siderable cost for the allies at points
to the east of Armentieres. while about
La Bassee the French and British
have been forced to retreat at some
places in the face of the desperate
assaults directed by the Germans. The
gains by one side have been offset by
those OF the other and the effect ON

PLAN INVASION OF ENGLAND.

The Hague, Oct. 21.AGermany, ac
cording to information received here
from Berlin, is preparing to deal
Great Britain a decisive blow. The
scheme is to disembark several army
corps somewhere in the south of Eng.
land, while the grand feet is occu-
pied with fighting the German feet
in the North sea.
German experts believe the plan
will be entirely successful.
According to this information, as
soon as the last resistance of the Bel
gian army is disposed Of there will
be a great movement of landsturm
troops from central Germany to Os'
tend and Zeebrugge, where they will
await an opportunity to cross to the
English shore and march on London,
where Zeppelins and Taubes will have
caused havoc and demoralized the
population.
Plans Great Sea Fight.
While this is taking place Admiral
Won Ingenohls fleet, now confined at
Wilhelmshaven, will steam out into
the North sea for the great fight.
These German calculations rest on
the hypothesis that the south coast OF
England will be left absolutely with
out protection, all of Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe's ships being engaged in
the great North sea battle.
The German newspapers, by way Of
preparing public opinion for this great
stroke, publish eXtravagant dispatches
dilating on British nervousness and
the fear of unavoidable destruction by
Germany.
Germans Are Impatient.
The German fleet is described as
awaiting with passionate impatience
the moment when it can make
dash at the enemy. Prince Henry of
Prussia is actively engaged, it is an
in the work of inspecting the
feet, and he is continually keeping
the men on the run by surprise calls.
The prince is reported to be in Bel
GUM to take command of the general
operations against England.
On these operations, by means Of
which the war will speedily be
brought to an end, the public opinion
Of Germany is now focused. Should
they fail, the disappointment engen-
1ered may have incalculable conse-
luences.

How to Keep Face
Young and Attractive

The way to ward OF old age is not TO
fear il. not to allow ones self to be op-
pressed by the dread OF advancing
years. Use only legitimate preventives
and avoid trying experiments with prep
arations not indorsed by physicians. An
entirely safe and very effective way to
keep the complexion yorng looking
and beautiful Is to apply ordinary mer-
colized wax at bedtime. usirg 1t like
cold cream, washing It on in the morn
ing. This gradually absorbs the with
cred. faded cuticle. which Is replaced by
the more youthful, pink-ttnteG under
skin. One ounce Of this wax, to be
had at any drug store, Is enough to
completely rejuvenate worn-out COM

Crows feet and other wrinkles, the
first signs of advancing age. may be
removed by a simple. harmless rrepara-
tioh made by dissolving an ounce Of
