TIDE HAS TURNED
AGAINST GERMANS
LONDON REPORTS ALLIES VIC
TORIOUS ON EVERY FRONT
IN THE WAR
German Trenches in France and FIan-
ders Shot to Bits-Italy
Claims Successes
By the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations
LONDON, Sept. 27.-The tide of the
war has turned in favor of the Allies
on every front. The greatest artil-
lery battle in history is resulting in
blowing sections of the German
trenches or the Franco-Flanders front
to bits. The Allies drive is smashing
toward the railways by means of
which the Teutons are holding Bel
GUM and northern France. The Ger
man losses since Saturday are believ-
ed to exceed 100000.
The Russians have also halted the
Germans. Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg has been repulsed in attempts at
Dvinsk and Riga. Along two-thirds of
the front the Russians are on the of
fensive, recapturing villages and ta-
king enormous numbers prisoners.
Italy claims fresh success against
the Austrians. The Serbians are hold
mig up the advance of the Teutons on
the Balkans. More significant is the
fact that bulgaria is hesitating to
dash into the war, supposedly on the
side of the Germans, according to
Athens dispatches, while the Allies
are gaining fresh victories.
The battle from Arras to the sea
and in the Champagne district ragged
uninterruptedly. Thousands of dead
and wounded were smothered amid
the burning ruins of Souchez. Other
of dead lie on the slopes of
the hill, while 20 were captured by the
British. The trenches captured by the
French in the Argonne region are
choked with bodies. Reinforcements
are being rushed by the Germans
through Belgium to Lens.

But facts are stubborn things. and

the dry voice of District Attorney An

these words:

hastily put it, as the miserable father
raised his hand in ineffctual protest.
"A man was lurking in the darkness
behind you. who both saw and heard
you. He may not be the most pre-
possessing of witness. but we cannot
discredit his story"
Mr.. Andrews, you have no children.
To the man who has. make my last
appeal. Mr.. Renfrew, you know the

spirit?"

The word came sharply, and it
sounded decisive: but the ones which
followed from Mr. Andrews were no
less SO.
That Is not enough. We want evil
dence. actual evidence, that you are
not playing the part your son ascribes
to you"
The judges eyes glared, then sud
denly and incomprehensively softened

tshed in feeling none of them could
have characterized, but which gave to
them all an expression of awe.

Oliver, with bended head and dis
couraged mien, quickly followed.

ing startled and inquiring looks at

orah Scoville was nowhere to be seen.
At the door of his own room, the
judge paused, and with his hand on
the curtain, remarked with unexpected
composure: You have all wondered.
and others with you, why for the last
ten years have kept the gates of my
house shut against every conner. l
am going to show you"
And with no further word or look
scarcely even giving attention to Oil
ver's anguished presence, he led them
into the study and from there on to
that inner door known and talked of
through the town as the door Of mys-
terry. This he slowly opened with the
key he took from his pocket; then,
pausing with the knob in his hand, he
said:,
I'm the years which are past, but
two persons beside myself have
crossed this threshold, and these only
under my eye. Its secret was for my
own breast. Judge what my remorse
has been; judge the power of my own
secret self-condemnation, by what you
see here"

pulled aside the carpet he had strung
up over one end of the room. disclosing
