monarch appeals to the Allies not TO

King said, ain their allegiance 20 the

their existing exigencies and their own
huge problems. the Allies will not allow
the affairs of Rumania, who has staked
her all in this conflict, 10 pass INTO the
back of their minds and TO permit her
TO suffer the fate of either Belgium or
Serbia"
King Ferdinand said that Rumania
had not been moved TO enter the var
by mere expediency, but that her de-
cision was based on the biggest prin-
ciples of nationality. Against Ger

she had to await the time when she

"A small country, in. great war,
which promises TO last for ut least

Fighting on West Front
as Told by War Offices

Bertin, oct. lS.-To-ddy's official
report says:
Army group Of Prince Rupprecht: A
new attempt of the French and British

ployed massed artillery and infantry,
reinforced with fresh reserves. in the
effort TO achieve his object. The brave
troops Of Generals Sixt Won Arnim, Won

their positions mistaken after heavy
fighting.
The main weight of the numerous
attacks was directed against the front

veloped repeatedly in our lines with
those of the enemy, who temporarily
penetrated our positions. In spite of
assaults during the day against our po-
sitions near Sally. which failed on six
occasions, the French attacked once
again in the course of the night. This
attack also was repulsed. The battle
northwest of the village has not been
concluded.
Brandenburg infantry received dense
British columns northwest Of Gueude-
court with q devastating fire.
South Of the Somme French attacks
between Fresnes and Mazancourt and
in the vicinity of Chaulnes were con-
tinued. They died down for the greater
part under our curtain Of fire. Sub
horn fighting, which ended in our ia
vor, again developed for possession of
the sugar refinery of Genermont.

U-BOATS MUST OBEY
LAW, SAYS BERLIN

The Hague. Oct. b.
The Dutch government to-
day received from the Ger
man Legation a statement
that implicit instructions had
been given German subma-
rine commanders never to
sink neutral steamships I'M
less in accordance with Ger
man prize law.
Therefore it was consld-
cred extremely unlikely that
the captain of the Bloom
ersdijk was tod by the
captain Of the submarine
that he would send to the
b .tom every ship which
otherwise night touch a
British port.
The government also was
informed that should it be
proved the Bloomersdijk's
sinking was not in accord
ance with German prize law
Germany would grant in
demnity for the vessel and
cargo without submitting
the matter to a German
prize court.

also northwest of Gueudecourt. We
took about $50 prisoners.
During the night the enemy attacked
our lines north of the Stuff Redoubt
but was driven off.
Last night fourteen raiding parties
entered enemy trenches in the fpres

To-night's official report reads;
South Of the Ancre there was con
siderable hostile shelling during the
day, especially in the Gueudecourt and
Martinpuich areas and north Of Cour-

This morning, after a bombardment
an enemy party attempted to raid our

BRITISH TIGHTEN
BAPAUME LINES
Capture of Ridge Helps
Assault on West
Front

London, Oct. 13.-With the heights
overlooking Bapaume firmly in their
grip, the British are making a direct
push for the town. The low ridge
which blocked the way to the Bapaume
approaches has been surmounted at
several points, and, although severe
fighting Will come before the town is
won, many obstacles have been cleared.
Advancing northwest Of Guedecourt
and between Guedecourt and Les
Boeufs, Haig's troops are now ready to
begin the attack on lie Trasloy, the sole
fertilization separating the British
from the Bethune road. This village is
heavily fortified, but the possession of
the low heights to the west lightons
the task of assault considerably.
A record number of trench raids
fourteen in all-have been made in the
Ypres and Armentieres sector. Ad-
vices from the front state that these
enterprises, carried on constantly dur
ing the night, are demoralizing the
German nerve in equal degree with the
intense bombsrdment.
The greatest Allied effort is being
made where the line swings southwark
near the Peronne-Bapaume road. The
immediate objective of this drive is
Sally. Here the French attacked six
times, but were unable to advance, Ber-
lin reports. There is no indication of
such heavy fighting in the Paris state

Apparently battle on a larger scale
than that reported in the Allied state

front. Berlin, for example, tells OF an
effort Of the British and French to
break through their line near the

ment says, was hurled back with heavy

at would be all very well If we
could sit down at any moment and say
the war has settled down into certain
known channels. But war never does
that; war is a continued succession of
unexpected strokes. Recent events
have shown that even American waters
are not outside the area Of war.
Concessions Imperil Armies
"Any concessions made by the Allies
in regard to their war measures the
abandonment Of the defensive armament
Of their merchant ships, the withdrawal
Of their cruisers from certain parts Of
the high seas, the allowing of stocks
needed by Germany to accumulate in
the United States from British terri
tory without some kind of assurance
that they Will not reach the enemy, the
export of British material to firms
known to be in sympathy with our enc
mies-all these things might at any
moment assist the German armies in
the field to prolong the war, and, even
in the extreme case, jeopardize our
success.
"By the enterprises OF the Moewe,
the Deutschland and the U-53 and the
continued carefully prepared conspra-
cies in the East, conducted through ter
ritores Of the United States, and by
organized outrages against American
factories and Canadian public works,
Germany has gone out of her way TO
prove there is no point at which the
Allies can safely abandon, in any part
of the world, the measures which they
are entitled to take under their ma
