FOL LEAD WAR
 ALLIES PUSHING NEW OFFENSIVE CAMP AIGN

London. Sept. 27.=In two days the French and British have gained great CT results than in the preceding 12 kuonths of fighting since the battle of the Marne. With upwards of 10000 German prisoners in their lands and sotuethsrg like 30 guns, without count ing machine guns and with formid- able breach in the German line, the allies apparently have their long-ex- pected offensive movement well under way The advance has been general and it's effect is emphasized by the fact that on the eastern front a substantial gain for the Russians. is recorded.
 Petrcgrad states that the army of General Ivanoff has won a striking victory over the Germans and Aus triaE5 in the southeastern. theatre, where 1000 prisoners are said to have been taken.
 The BeIgians also are taking a prominent part in the new offensive movement. Their officiaI announce raent reports the capture of a German post on the right bank of the Yser with the consequent evacuation by the Germans of adjoining trenches.
 It fs believed in London that the 1sew move in the west will again bring the Germans face to face with the necessity of making Q choice between the two fronts as was the case earlier in the wax Military writers point out that the Russians are now holding the Austrians and Germans on a front or 7ee miles. while the presence of near ly 100000 strongly entrencned Ger mans has failed to prevent an advance ff France This, they say. must in- crease the perpIexfties of the German general stan and react immediately in any plans which may have been

slaughter our fire made among the mass

cealment into open space.
These unfortunate Turks scrambled
along toward us over piles of dead bod

sandbags. The situation having been re-

struction came back that the saps be de-
stroyed Special men were selected to
form the two stormins parties. which
carried with them the tools for demoli-
ton work. At o'clock thirty men
swarned over the trench top and were
greeted with a whitening fire. Half a
dozen fell back dead or wounded and the
rest endeavored to cover the paltry four
yards to the sap heads.
Another dozen were knocked over dur
ing the scramble over the bodies of the
dead which lay on that twelve feet One
party turned the Turks out of a sap and
were then compelled to retire, leaving the
demolition work to be done later. The
second party bayoneted the occupants of

At last a message was thrown back in a

to get back after dark. The officer had
the satisfaction of accomplishing his
