cause, was moved to a series OF We

rushed to the house and given all
the medical aid the countryside

one eye was swollen shut, having
been injured when her glasses were
smashed by the jar of the impact.
The ladies were leaving their

church service at Jfmtown. They
reside on Jones's run, two miles
from Lumberport. The approach
to the road leads from their back
yard down steep descent. It was
while attempting to go down this
incline that the horses became
frenzied.
Various explanations were offered
for the strange actions of the equine
beasts, among them being that some
of the hitchings were insecure.
However. Mrs. Fortney insists that
everything was in a right manner,
as she deliberately inspected the
turnout before the fateful depart

a Methodist conference in Parkers-

LONDON, Sept. 27.-In two days the

Of 10000 German prisoners in their
hands and something like thirty guns
without counting machine guns and
with q formidable breach in the Ger

their long expected offensive move

The advance has been general and
Its effect is emphasized by the fact that
on the eastern front substantial gain
for the Russians Il recorded.
Russians Victors, Too.
Petrograd states, that the army OF
General 1vanoff has won a striking
victory over the Germans and Aus
TRANS in the southeastern theater,
where 1000 prisoners are said to have
been taken.
The Belgians also are taking a
prominent part in the new offensive
movement. Their official announce
ment reports the capture of a Ger

User with the consequent evacuation
by the Germans Of adjoining trcn-
ches.
Bad for Germans.
It is believed in London that the
new move in the west VIII again

{ tween the two fronts rs was the case

vent an advance in Frame. This,
they say. must increase the perpleai-
ties of the German general staff and
react Immediately on any plan which
may have been formed for new at
tacks in the south or southeast.
The feeling of optimism in Lon
don is enhanced by the political eff
feet which the successes Of the allies
appear to have had on the Balkan
states. Dispatches from Sofia me-
cate th0ssBulgarian diplomats are
eager to convince the allies that

prompted by hos.i:e motives.
German Attack Slackens.
The latest of1lcial news from Pc

ing that the Russians are distinctly
In better pos!sion. ELls seems to
be true, even in IT, iess.on of
Dvinsk, where Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg has concentrated his
z eforts, perhaps at the expcnse OF
tho southern front. The German
attack now seems to be slackening.
Notwithstanding the successes of
Sc allies. England is rot blinded to
the fact that 1t will be no light task
to push the Germans out OF positions
honeycombed with trenches. Now
that the allies have passed to the Of
fensive they have before them a
problem, the serious nature Of which
is fully recognized here.
