FRENCH BEAR BRUNT
 OF WESTERN FIGHTING

London, Oct. N1-The French. are bearing the brunt of the fighting now in progress on the, western front. They are hammering at the second German line in Champagne in the direction of the Grand Pre- railway and at the same time dropping bombs on the line and stations to prevent the Germans from bringing up rein forcements.
 Absence of news from the British front apparently indicates that these forces are occupied with consolidat- ing their positions in the strip of ter ritory recently won.
 The British forces now in France are estimated at a round million men which will be increased by per cent. it is said.
 There is no notable change on the battle front of the east.
 Vienna announces that the third Austrian war loan will bear interest of E per cent. Bulgaria has not re- piled to the suggestion of Greece that she would demobilize.

 TO VIOLATE LAWS Many Defendants Included In Decision in Favor of
 Department.

Philadelphia, Oct. Tine United States district court today decided the antitrust dissolution suit against the Motion Picture Patents company in favor of the government.
 The Motion Picture Patents company is a holding company. Mt was charged by the government that it controlled most of the moving picture patents in the United States and also had a large interest in the American rights in for eign patents.
 The suit was heard over a year ago by Judge Oliver B. Dickinson, whose decision is a sweeping victory for the United States department of justice.

 With reference to the Melies com pany, the court said:
 The Melies Manufacturing company has denied Gas have all the defend, ants) that it was in any sense a party to the combination charged We have gone over all the proofs without find ing any which go to making good the charge against this particular defend ant It is, therefore. excluded from the findings made and the petition as against it is disrnissed.''

 Young F'laherty himself has been noted as "a hero in book form. being shown at work in mines, submarine search for buried treasure and other picturesque pursuits in Pick, Shovel and Pluck" recently published by the Scientific American from the pen of A. Russell Bond, 9 noted engineering author
 According to the relations made to the police by young Flaherty, backed by his father, the youth had for the first time to go out in the world and make a living when his fathers for tunes were diminished by the terrific storm that swept the Atlantic coast year ago and partly dem ohshed the city of Sea, Bright, N. J. James Fla herty at that time was constructing a breakwater for the government and it was completely washed away by the vi iolence of the storm.
 It is likely that FIaherty will be paroIed by the authorities.
