LONDON. Sept. 27.--The tide Of
war has turned for the allies on
every front.
The greatest artillery onslaught
Of any war is blowing whole Sec
tions Of the Germans FrancoFlan-
ders front to bits. The allied troops
are smashing their way toward the
railway lines by which the Teutons
hold their grip of Belgium and
northern France. The German loss
es in the allied drive that began Sat.
urday morning already believed to
total more than 100000.
The czar has halted the German
offensive in the east Won Hinden-
burg has been thrown back In his
attempts to reach Dvinsk and Riga.
The Russians are on the offensive
On two-thirds OF the eastern
battle front, recapturing villages
and taking heavy toll in prisoners.
The Italian war Office claims fresh
successes. Serbian artillery is hsA1-
ing UP the Austro-German advance.
And dispatches from Athens today
asserted that Bulgaria, three days
ago ready to leap into the war with
the Austro-Germans, is hesitating.
The newspapers called for mod
Grafton on the part of wildly en-
thusiastic British public today. They
pointed out that the allies must
have suffered heavily in the VIC
torjous smashes toward Lens, and In
the Champagne and that today's
official communicates may bring
news of serious reverses. They
hinted that the sudden offensive
movement launched on Saturday
may mean only a feeling out" Of
the German positions, preliminary
to a real offensive, and that the
present attacks may cease before
night.
Dispatches from Paris and from
Dutch points today said that the
great battle from Arras northward
to the sea and in the Champagne
ragged without interruption through
out Sunday and Sunday night and n
continuing today. The Anglo-French
batteries are deluging the German
works with a blasting FIRE. Perhaps
no other battles OF the western front
have seer such savage hand-to-hand
bayonet fighting.
Thousands OF dead and wounded
lie amid the burning ruins OF the
villages Of Souchez, now entirely In
French hands other thousands lie
unburied on the slopes OF Hill 70.

claim to large territory under the treaty
of 17s2. War with Great Britain was
threatened. Maine sent troops into the
disputed territory and held it. This occu-
patton was known as the Aroostook war.

Britain was averted and an agreement
reached between Lord Ashburton and MIR.

ern boundary as far west as the Lake of
the Woods.
Another dispute which had arisen out of
the vagueness Of former treaties was
settled by the treaty of Washington in
1871. A preceding treaty had defined the
boundary line in the northwest az run
ming along the forty-ninth parallel ITO
the middle of the channel which separates
the continent from Vancouvers islands,
and thence southerly through the middle
of said channel and Of Fuca's straights
TO the Pacific ocean," A question had
arisen as to where the middle of the
channel was. The treaty of Washington
provided that this question be settled by
the German emperor who later decided in
favor of the claim of the United States

An event of some historical importance
was the completion in January of this
year of the last of the permanent monu-
ments marking the boundary line between
the United States and Canada. In 1868 it
was decided to replace the wooden mark
ers which then showed the dividing line
between the countries with durable mon
uments of bronze placed sufficiently close
together to provide clear view from one
monument to the next. The line was first
established in November of 11S2. when the
three active commissioners of the Ameri-
can government, Franklin. Jay and
Adams, reached an agreement with the
British representatives fixing the boun-
Diary from the ST. CroiX river to the
highlands that divide the rivers that
empty into the st. Lawrence from those
that empty into the Atlantic etc. in a
manner which at that time was thought
to be definite and beyond dispute But
little was known in those days of the
geography of the north and west. and the
boundary line caused disputes for many
years after. ia a..-e l.
