A GOOD WOMAN GONE.
Mrs. Rachel Booth died Friday Night
October first.

Mrs. Rachel Booth died at her
home at Laurel Hill Friday night. She
had lingering illness some months
ago but became much better and was
able to be up and around. She again
became very i'll Wednesday of last
week and the children were called to
her bedside and soon learned that the
end was near. Just before her death
she called her husband and children
and kissed them goodbye"
Rachel (Coyle) Booth was born in
Wood county, Jan. Is, 1851 and lived
there, until she was three years old
then her mother died, she then re-
moved to Richie county, there she
lived until she was married to John
Booth, Feb. IL, 1875, later came to
Barbour county where later spent the
remainder of her days.
Funeral services We're held at the
First Baptist Church, Belington, and
interment took place at the Elliott
cemetery, Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Booth was a noble wife, a fond
and loving mother, good neighbor
and a consistent Christian. The ex-
preston of goodness was shown on
her face even after death. She leaves
in mourning husband, three sons,
Cicero of Elkins, Irving of Shinnston
and Fred at home; three daughters,
Mrs. Ella Lake of Philippi, Misses
Emma and Matte at home and a
host of relatives and friends. Miss
Belle Booth, her daughter, preceded
her last April to tn Great Beyond.
She was 81 xty-four years old. She
became Christian in early life. Her
manner and disposition was in every
sense that of mother whose aid, adj
wise and loving deeds were blessings
to all who came in contact with her.

FRENCH BAYONET GERMANS
FROM STRATEGIC POSITIONS
Gains Made by Gauls Most Important
in The Great West Front Drive.

LONDON, Oct. 6th.-The most i'm
portant advance yet scored by the
French in their offensive in Cham
payne was made at the point of the
bayonet when they carried by an
infantry assault the village of Tahure
and the summit of Tahure Hill, taking
more than 1000 German prisoners.
BY this advance the French have
cut the second line of defense of the
Germans and have established them
selves at a point of vantage where
their heavy artillery will have COM
handing sweep of the Challerange
Baazancourt railway line, one of the
most vital arteries of supply for the
German army on this front. Not on
ly are important German lines of COM
munication threatened, but the French
by this finally successful effort, have
inserted a wedge between the armies
of the Crown Prince and the support
ing forces on his right.
First news of the gathering force
of the French drive in this section
came in the official report from Ber-
lin today. According to this state
ment the heavy French artillery
opened the preparatory bombardment
yesterday morning. The cannanade
increased in intensity against the Ger
man defense during the afternoon,
indicating to the belegeagured Ger
mans that the French were paying
the way for a general attack by
storm.
When the attack by infantry came
the Germans desperately and for
while effectively opposed the onrush,
the French being driven back time
after time withheavy losses. Finally
the concentrated shell fire and the
fury of the infantry assault that fol-
lowed carried the charging French
men past the shattered barrier and on
to their goal.
The object of the French attack is
either to capture or destroy the Chal-
lerange -Baarancourt railway, or TO
control it by their artillery fire. This
prize was the incentive for the furi-
GUS fighting of the first days Of the
erivd, when the most terrific fighting
of the Champagne battle occurred in
the vicinity of Tahure.

Most Critical Issue Between the Two
Nations is Amicably Settled
Germany is Willing to Pay In
IDENTITIES For American
Lives Lost.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The most
critical of the issues between the Unit
ed States and Germany was amicably
settled today when the German gov
eminent, through Ambassador Won
Bernstiff, disavowed the act Of her
submarine commander which sank the
White Star liner Arabic on August
10, and offered indemnity for the
American lives lost on that occasion.
Formalu assurances were given also
that the orders under which the COM
mander Of German submarines are
now operating are so strict that there
can be no recurrence of similar Incl
dents

many without qualification Of the de-
mands of the United States and OPEN

ment Of all the points in controversy
between the two governments. n
Secretary State Lansing tonight
made public the memorandum from
Count Won Brrnstorff. 1t follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary; Prompted
by the desire to reach satisfactory
agreement with regard to the Arabic
incident my government has given me
the following instructions:
The orders issued by his majesty
the emperor to the commanders of our
submarines, Of WEIGH | notified YOU
on aprevious occasion, have been made
SO stringent that the recurrence of
incidents similar to the Arabic case
is considered out of the question. Ac-
cording to the rport of commanders
Schneileder of the submarine that
sank the Arabic intended to ram the
submarine. On the other hand the
imperial government does not doubt
the good faith of the affidavits of the
British officers Of the Arabic. accord
ing to which the Arabic did not in
tend to ram the submarine. The at
tack Of the submarine therefore was
undertaken against the instructionsis-
sued to the commander. The imperial
government regrets and disavows this
tea and has notified Commander Sch
neider accordingly.
"Under these circumstances nv
government is prepared to pay any
Indemnity for the American lives
which to its. deep regret have been
lost on the Arabic. / am AUTHORIZED
to negotiate with you about the
amount of this indemnity.
I remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing,
yours very sincerely, J. Bernstorff."
