DRIVES

VERDN, via Chsntilly, Oct. 20.
Battling in rain mists and
clouds of smoke, the French re-
captured Fort Douaumont in less
than three hours In the brilliant
offensive that swept the crown
prince back from Verdun.
The entire operation was wit
messed by General Joffre, COM
mander in chief of Frances
armies.
From an observation post in
one of the Verdun forts the cor
respondent watched the French
infantry launch the attack at
11:40 Tuesday morning after
three days of unprecedented ar
tillery preparation.
1t was o'clock when Fort
Souville telephoned that the
French had reached Fort Douau-
mont and were fighting about its
entrance. French officers waited
with cool confidence for the next
word.
I'VE have surrounded Fort
Douaumont," came a message at
8 o'clock.
For an hour we peered out over
the distant battle field, on the
alert at the same time for some
news from the telephone. Sud-
denly sharp gusts of wind lifted
the mists and the smoke clouds,
revealing the tri-color of France
floating at the summit of Douau-
month.
The French chose the moment
when the Germans we're weakest
through the transfer of troops and
cannon to the Somme and because
of the unrelenting work of de-
struction wrought by French
guns.
The French Verdun often
sive is backed with more or
ganization and preparation
than preceded the Somme Of
fensive. Both offensives, pro-
ceeding simultaneously, are
calculated to crumple the en-
tire German front.

A systematic scheme for
smuggling booze into Tacoma
through employment on the
Milwaukee railroad, was nip
ped by the police and special
officers of the railroad
Thursday morning, when
they arrested Elmer Larsen
rs he stepped from the din
ing car on the Columbian,
crack train from Chicago.
The arrest followed discovery of
eight quarts of whisky in suit
case concealed in pots and pans
and rubbish in a closet in the
diner, where Larsen has been en-
ployed as third cook.
The officers have been watch
ing this train for some time.
They claim to have information
that Larsen obtained employment
with the railway for the sole pur-
pose of bringing in liquor for
higher-ups in Tacoma.
They also say he has made
three former trips bringing booze
from Chicago, but have failed to
get evidence against him.
Larsen had the bottles in a
suit case bearing the name of
Fred Wild, former saloon keeper,
now proprietor of a soft drink
parlor at cath and East L street.
1t developed that Larsen is Wild's
brother-in-law.
Larsen denied, however, that
he was bringing the liquor for
Wild.
He is being held both on q
state charge and a city charge.
