UNIQUE DINNER PARTY
ON THE LINE OF BATTLE

Berlin, Oct. ia unique dinner
party is reported in a soldiers letter
from the front.
At point where the German and
French lines approached to within
a few hundred yards from each other,
apparently to the west Of the Rheims.
the fighting stopped at about nightfall,
and the Germans were just going to
their warm meal at the nearby field
kitchen, when an officer was seen to
mount the French intrenchment wav-
ing a flag of truce. A German officer
went out to meet him. The Frenchman,
who turned out to be the captain of
company, explained that his men
were very hungry, having had nothing
to eat for several days, and asked
whether the Germans would not give
them something.
How many men have your" he
was asked about a hundred" was
the answer "All right. call out your
men," said the German. The company
thereupon laid aside their arms and
came over to the Germans, where they
sat down and ate their supper with
their enemies. The captain is reported
to have said that his men we're so
famished that they would not be able
to continue fighting without something
to eat"

NO BASIS FOR
GENERAL RESULT
OF EUROPE WAR

Paris, Oct. 26.-(6.5S A. M.)-The in
cessant alternatives of advance and
Withdrawals on the part of the Allies
and the Germans, particularly in the
north, furnished early today no basis
for summing up as to general re-
suit. The Germans. judging from their
frightful sacrifice of men, seem deter
mined to force the battle to an issue.
Nevertheless, the French public, after
analyzing the situation as indicated in
the latest war office statements, con-
tinued optimistic.
While awaiting further news from
the front there is considerable inter-
est in the action the Institute of
France will take regarding its German
correspondents and associates. The in
stitute is expected to meet today.
There has been a considerable differ
ence of views among the members as
we'll as the academies forming the in
stitute, while the press has taken a
large part in the discussion. Because
of statutory dispositions and DEGREES,
there has been some difficulty in reach
ing a decision. Incidentally one of the
academicians has expressed himself in
favor of returning all of the diplomats
orders and titles received from Ger
many.

HIGH PRICE OF
POTATOES AN
GERS GERMANS

Amsterdam, Via London, Oct. 90
$40 A. M.-The high price of potatoes
in Germany led to serious excuses in
Brunswick, according to the Vorwerts.
This newspaper says the booths of po-
tato sellers who refused to sell at the
ordinary price were stormed and the
potatoes thrown into the streets and
the greater part of them destroyed be-
fore the police arrived on the scene.
Several communities, according to
the Vorwaerts, already have fixed max
imum prices, but these are still very
high. A general demand is being made
for the German government to estab-
fish maximum prices. not only for po-
tatoes, but for other articles of food.
The official German army organ, a
copy of which has been received her,
contains an article relating to the
feeding of wounded war prisoners by
the allies. 1t says the wounded are
transported with other prisoners and
receive the same food as the ordinary
war prisoner while wounded prisoners
who are transported with the German
wounded are given the same food as
the Germans receive.

but could not stop the locomotive un.
til it had crashed into the caboose.
This car was lifted bodily from the
track. tipped over and rolled down
an embankment. The four Italians
inside were caught in the wrecka ge
and Spostito was so seriously injured
that he died before he could be ex-
cavated. The second car of the train
also was damaged but did not leave
the rails. The only damage to the
colliding locomotive consisted of brok-
en- timbers in the lumber.
Coroner Richard buddy of Portland
was summoned ard gave the authori-
ties permission to clear the track.
While there has been no investigation
as yet, 1t is understood that the engi-
neer of the locomotive supposed he
had clear track as there was no sig
nal set to apprise him of the work
train around the curve.
The three injured men were remov-
ed to the Maine General Hospital,
where it is said that the condition Of
Botta and -Lucariello is critical.

FURNISHES VIVID DESCRIPTION OF
BATTLE ALONG The RIVER USER

London, Oct. 26.--4.40 A. M.-The
correspondent of the Daily News, who
has been in an armored train to the
banks Of the User, gives a good de-
scription of the battle in the north
west. He says:
The battle RACES along the User
with frightful destruction of life. Air
engines, sea engines and land engines
death-sweep this country, vertically,
horizontally and transversely. Through
II the little frail human engines crawl
and dig, walk and run, skirmishing
charging and laundering in little in
dividual fights and tussles. tired and
puzzled. ordered here and there, sleep
ing where they can, never washing
and dying unnoticed. A friend may
find himself firing on friendly force
and few are to blame.
Thursday the Germans were driv-
en- back over the User; Friday they
secured a footing again and Saturday
they were again hurled back. Now a
bridge blown up by one side is re-
paired by the other; it is again blown
up by the first or left as death trap
till the enemy is actually crossing.
Actions by armored trains, some
of them the most reckless adventures,
are attempted daily. Each day &C
cumulates an unwritten record of in
dividual daring feats. accepted as
part of the daily work. Day by day
our men push out on these dangerous
explorations, attacked by shell fire, In
danger of eross-fire. dynamite and
ambuscades, bringing a priceless sup
port to the threatened lines. AS the
armored train approaches the river
under shell fire, the ear cracks with
the constant laundering OF guns
