London, Sept. 27.-The tide of war
has turned to the allies on every front.
The greatest artillery battle in his
tory is blowing sections of the German
trenches along the FrancoF Flanders
front to bits. The allies terrific new
drive is smashing toward the railways
by means of which the TeutOns hold
Belgium and northern France. German
losses since Saturday are believed to
exceed 100000.
Meantime, the czar, too, has halted
the Germans. Field Marshal Vim Hin
denberg has been rupulsed in his at
temps at Dvinsk and Riga. Along two
thirds of. their front, the Russians are
on the offensive, recapturing villages,
Hud taking enormous numbers of pris
ouers.
Italy, likewise, claims fresh successes
against the Austrians.
Serbian artillery Is holding up the
Austro-German advances in the Balk-
ans
And, more significant still Bulgaria
is hesitating to dash into the war, sup
posedly on the Teutonic side, accord
ing to Athens dispatches, while the al
lies are gaining these fresh victories.
London newspapers today, however,
ask moderation from the enthusiastic
British public. They pointed out that
the allies probably have suffered very
heavily. Further, they limited that this
re-awakened activity is perhaps only a
feeling out" process, preliminary to
the real offensive.
The terrific battle from Arras to the
sea and in the Champagne ragged unn-
terruptedly Sunday and last night, and
still continues. The allied batteries
are deluging the German works with
a blasting fire This is accompanied by
unparalleled hand to nand bayonet at
tacks.
Thousands of dead and wounded are
amothered amid the burning ruins of
Souchez which is now entirely France IS
after weeks of seeAsaw bitter strug-
Cling. Other thousands of unburied
dead lie on the slopes of Hill 70, cap
tured by the impetuvds British charge
Trenches which the French captured in
the Argonne are choked with mangled
bodies.
Reinforcements are being rushed by
the Germans through Belgium to Lens
A frightful fire was poured upon the
British on the heights west of Lens to
prevent them from bringing up their
guns.
Bitter fighting for Hill 20 is expect
ed, if it has not already begun because
this position dominates Lens, two miles
away. Two days hammering at this
position marked the struggle before the
British stormed the hill. In the face of
whitening fire they are digging them
selves into the suni-rt preparing to
meet the Teutonic counter attack.
About Loos, wheiv the Germans ad.
mitted reverse, they are now deal
ing heavy counter attack.
The fields west Of Lille, the brick.
yards west Of LaBassee, and the rolling
plains north of Arras are being swept
by the fire of shrapnel, machine guns
and rifles.
1t is believed here that the fifteen
mile advance in the Champane is pre-
liminary to violent smash to force the

Three enemy aviators reconnoitering

The British onslaught at Lille, Loos

raking fire, is now continuing fiercely.

Since Arras was re.Occupied year

reach the railway running from that
city, Douri and Valenciennes to the
German bases.
Paris reported today they were only
six miles away from this much coveted
goal.

transportation of 10000 live stock
caretakers in 1914 had cost the Bur-
lington $4,000, estimated on the
regular fares. This was rs per cent
of the freight earnings of the traffic.

In snow filled gullies and up and
down the slippery mountain sides, the
struggle is going on. The Austrians
in their retreat southwark from the
railway, abandoned much of their ar
tillery. The Russians moved up the
heights supported only by small
mountain guns.
Neither side has been able to put
it's artillery to effective use in the

thousands of dead.
The cars troops have not yet pass

information availa BILE at the war office
today.
They have driven the enemy from
each successive height dominating the
railway. the Austrians making their
stand on the last ridge. Because of
the nature of the fighting at this
point, dispatches are conflicting and it
is possible that with both lines broken
by intervening mountain peaks q few
small bodies of Russians have made
their way down the southern slope
through the Austrian line.
Heavy reinforcements have been
thrown into the attack near Lupkow.
