EIGHTH GERMAN ATTACK IN
FIVE DAYS IN FRANCE
Fail to Take Positions in the Wood
of GieenehY.

Paris, Oct. "a. 2.35 p. m.-The eighth
German attack in Five days on the
strong French positions in the Wood
Of Givenchy, north of Arras, was re-
pulsed yesterday with sanguinary
losses, according to the official state
ment issued today by the French war
department In the other sections of
the western front lively artillery duels
are in progress
The text of the statement follows:
The Germans again attempted last
night an attack on our positions in
the wood of Givenchy and on our ad-
vanced posts in the neighborhood Of
Hill 140. Many Of the Germans were
cut down the moment they left their
trenches and the survivors were COM
PEELED to return to their positions.
During the past five days we have
checked the enemy eight times in this
region.
''The artillery struggle remains very
active and is almost uninterrupted
south OF the Somme in the region of
Lehons, Canny and Beuvraignes.
Moreover, our batteries by their eff
ficacious fire have succeeded in des-
troyinR some of the enemy's trenches
and works in the Champagne. south
east of Tahure, between the Mouse
and the MoseIle. north of Regnieville
and IN Lorraine, near Embernil and

Judge Oliver n. Williams held a
special session of the Third district
court in Westerly, Saturday morning,
and heard the evidence on two COM
plants of a serious nature entered
against Hugh Ecclestone, who spent
his first night behind the bars of a
prison cell on Friday night. He was
charged with committing a violent as
sault upon Mrs. Grace Staplins, whose
husband is a cousin Of the accused
and who was at home at the time Of
the assault, which was alleged to
have consisted of beating, bruising
and ill-treating the woman. He was
also charged with defacing and smash
ing the windows of The house occupied
by the Staplins family, which is own
ed BY Betsey Ecclestone, mother of
the accused. and causing damage to
the amount of $50.
There was no strong evidence that
the alleged violent assault had been
committed nor was here evidence to
show that the house had been de-
acknowledged that he was drunk, and
that both Mr.. and Mrs. Staplins had
drank Of the. liquor he had brought TO
the Staplins residence. He said that
if he had done the things charged
against him, he was unable to remen-
Der the transactions, He pleaded for
leniency, stating that he would give
up the use of intoxicants. and attend
to work. Judge Williams decided to

|ELAT the trend OF the time is
toward the electrification of all
steam railroads is shown by
the announcement that definite plans
have been completed and contracts
signed for the operation Of 1l3
miles OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railway by electric power.
The turbulent rivers of Idaho and
Montana are o be yoked to powerful
turbines and huge electrical genera
tors. The electrical power thus devel-
oped will be transmitted for long dis
tances across country to the railroad,
where IL will take the place Of steam
in hauling passenger and freight trains
yer the mountains.
The st. Pauls project covers the
identification Of its Puget Sound line
between Harlowton, Mon. and Avery.
Idaho, 440 miles. This takes IN that
portion of the line penetrating the
Rockies. the Big Belts and the Bitter
Root Mountains. The first installa-
tlon of 113 miles will be between Three
Forks and Deer Lodge. Mon, and
men alrtady are ut work erecting
poles. II is expected hat the project
will be completed by 1918.
All this work involves the expendi-
ture of approximately s13, 000, 900, and
the electrical construction will pro-
coed ut the rate OF about 81, ZOO, 900

W he el~ectrifcation Of the entire

is To prevent the motors from heating
