FIGHTING SPREADS
ON French FRONT
British Attack German Lines
With Gas.
CANNON BATTLE AT VERDUh

Allies Made Successful Trench Raids
in Loos Area and South of
Arras.
Fighting in France now is extending
beyond the Somme and VCrdun areas,
to which it has been practically con-
fined for the past six months.
In its official report the war Office
announced gas attack east OF Loos
and east of Armentieres, On the Fran
co-Belgian border, and south OF AT
ras. Three successful trench raids
were carried out in the Loos area and
two south of ArraS.
The British pushed forward their
line northeast OF Eaucourt FADDaye'
on the Somme front, it was also an
nounced.
The French war Office reports great
activity on the part OF the artllery
on the Verdun front. The Germans
are shelling Poiyre Hill, east OF tae
Meuse and north of Verdun. On the
French Somme front the artillery was
active during the night.
Reporting operations of the Frencn
aviation service on the western front'
the Paris official statement says:
despite unfavorable atmospheric
conditions cur machines carried out
twenty-nine flights in pursuit of enc
my aeroplanes, and in reconnoltrlng
and observing for artillery purposes -
With their guns already in position,
the allies are prepared to start a new
drive against the German fourth line
on the Somme as soon as weather con-
ditions permit.
A French statement declares the at
tack will begin just as quickly as
observations can be made. The plan
is to drive a wedge between Bapaume
and Peronne, thus flank:ng Mount st.
Quentin, in the southern sector, while
the British hammer at Rapaume, on
the north. The British troops already
have occupied high ground on the road
to Bapaume, and the French, If they
can attain Mount st. Quintin, will COM
mand Peronne.
Paris lays stress on the fact that the
German artillery is active south OF
the Somme, especially in the sector
of Barleux-Belloy-De
French heavy artillery has lombard
ed a military station in the Woevre
district, near st. Benoit, and is report
ed to have caused large fire there.
The British official communication
issued at midnight, told of ten enemy
counter attacks in the Thiepval area,
(which we severely handled and re-
pulsed. Between July 1 and Septem-
ber 80, besides large quantities of
other war material, we captured and
recovered from the Somme battle front
twenty-nine heavy guns and heavy
howitzers, ninety-two field guns and
field howitzers, 103 trench artillery
pieces and 397 machine guns"

partment of health.
The birth report showed 1874
against 9217 deaths.
The causes of deaths show an inter
esting comparison. Scarlet fever IS
accountable for only six, the smallest
number known in years, and Intestinal
troubles caused more deaths than tu-
