BATTLE CONTINUES
ALONG WEST FRONT
WITH FRENCH GAINS

Crown Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria,
rushed up reserves and asked reinforce
ments. He then attempted counter
attack. General Freneh's men, how
ever, have repulsed these moves thus
far, and in addition have maintained
their gains and improved their hold be-
fore Lens by capturing additional sec
tions of the German battle line.
The British and French together
have captured upwards of 70 German
field guns and heavy pieces.
The French losses are understood to
be surprisingly small in view of the
fact that everywhere General Joffre s
men are on the offensive. This was
held to be due to the fact that pre-.
paratory artillery fire had previously
wrecked the German trenches.
Wounded soldiers arriving here re-
ported that for several hours. Saturday
they fought in a driving rain, drenched
to the skin. Adding to their discomfort,
a high wind raked the battle line from
Flanders to the Vosgcs.
Nevertheless my men laughed at

cause they were at last turned loose
to bite their way through the
'boches.
Military critics were elated because
the men were not taken i'll from the
effects after year of inaction in the
trenches.
Warning the people against having
too high expectations from the re-
awakened offensive, the Temps today
said:
owe believe a general offensive is
about to materialize. 1t is obvious
that the Germans will Immediately re.
inforce threatened points, but thus
weaken others. This will draw new of
fensive actions from the allies where
they are now inactive"

Paris, Sept. 28.-The greatest battle
of the year along the western battle
front is raging today even more furious
ly than when the great conflict began
three days ago.
Staggering the Germans with one
mighty smash, the anies withdrew and
reformed their lines for another blow.
This move explained today the appar-
ent slackening noted IN the official com
munique yesterday. The second stroke
was dealt last night, heavy infantry
attacks following the hail of artillery.
The Germans are yielding yard by
yard in the Champagne battling brave
y, but they are being moved down
under the massed French bayonet at
tacks. The Teutons made an attempt
to stem the French onrush by flooding
their patch with clouus of asphyxiating
gases. Winds, however, swept these
away Immediately.
The chalky hills or the Champagne
are throwing up white clouds of dust
under the hammering of heavy shells.
The dead and wounded are mantled
with the white powder, splotched Grim
son with their life blood.
General Won Fabeck's German forces
in the Champagne ale nattling bitterly
to save BazancOurt-Argonne railway to
which they have been moving since Sat
urday. The French, however, have
maintained their gains, and have i'm
proved their positions to meet the Teu-
tonic counter assaults.
To the north the British are progress
ing under enormous difficulties. The
Germans strongest defenses run from
Arras to the sea. Against these the
British have been remarkably success
ful.
After the first shock of battle,

A few simple bits of pottery whose
quiet tones are carefully selected to
harmonize with the scheme of the
room in which they are to remain,
and whose shapes are proportional
and designed for holding flowers, are
what every household needs. Hand
some brass and copper will often do
much toward Frightening some gloomy
corner Of q room and create splendid
effects when filled with masses Of
green or some bold flowers. When
purchasing a collection Of bowls and
vases in which to place flowers, one
might take note of those chosen by
q person of excellent judgment in such
matters.
Plain glass vases, medium tall and
naring. and having heavy bases, make
excellent holders for sweet peas;
Spanish pottery suits well the rich col.
ors of nasturtiums and geraniums;
cylindrical vases and dull colors are
appropriate for holding hollyhocks

SPIRITS AND HARRY
BY GRACE JENNINGS.

When Harry Fenton opened a law
office in the metropolis he encouraged
himself with the statement he had
once read that the average lawyers
income was in the neighborhood OF
three thousand dollars. That was all
right, but it omitted to add that the
colossal incomes Of the leading lights
swelled the average; In other words,
that this income was distributed
among the profession very irregular
ly indeed.
Three months and three clients had
begun to raise in bis mind serious prob
lens as to his winters ONCE rent
when, one morning, the prettiest girl
that he had ever seen entered his
little place

asked the man, bewildered both by
the apparition and by the melancholy
thought that he could not charge a
pretty girl as much as he would charge
her father.

automatic writing. instructing him to
leave all his money to her, instead Of
to his daughter The old man, who
was shrewd enough in other ways,
had shown reluctance to comply with
his second wife's wishes. Whereupon
the spirit of the first wife, the girls
mother, had appended her name to
similar communication, stating in posi-
tive terms that no money was to be
left to her daughter, since her nature
needed to be developed through power

"And II you can help me in some
way l shall be 80 grateful" pleaded
the girl. 1T isn't that l want the
money. But It Is terrible that my
fathers fortune should 60 to that
horrible Charmeuse woman, q dreadful
greedy impostor."
Have you any letter that your
mother ever wrote?" asked the young
man.
The girl reflected. Yes. Father
showed her one of mothers letters
once" she answered. Il believe I can
get it for you"
"One more question. Is It possible
for you to bring me to one of these
seances?" asked Harry.
why, Of course" replied the girl.
Father Is delighted to have people
brought, II he thinks he can convince
them. Only, you see the Charmeuse
woman is too cunning to write those
communications when anyone else is
there"
She brought Harry the letter the
following day, and 1t was arranged that
he should call the next evening at
the house. where q seance was to be
held.
He could not avoid some trepidation
when he was shown into the room
