Vaux Is Threatened
Hourly With Capture
by French at verdun

From a Staff Correspondent OF the
Associated Press.
FLEURY DEvANT DOUAUMONT.
Friday, October 81. via Chantilly, Oc-
tober 2S.-vaux. which is the only
strong point remaining in the hands of
the Germans in the immediate vicinity
of verdun, is threatened hourly with
capture. While the correspondent of
the Associated Press was observing
from a nearby ridge before dawn for an
approach, which was only possible at
night, some French advance scouts
moved close to the precincts of the fort
to reconnoiter.
Vaux is dominated by the French ar
tillery, and the guns increasingly bat
ter it. Every effort at counter attack
that the Germans have made up to the
present has been checked easily, al
though some of them have been at
tempted in heavy force.

Terrible Blow to Germans.

Terrible BLOW TO Germans.
The Germans suffered terrible blow
when they lost Douaumont, their prin-
cipal point Of observation. Their artil-
lery now is blind. as the aeroplanes
are hindered by the frequent mists.
Consequently, the German curtain of
fire is Intellectual for stopping the ar
rival of French reinforcements, al
though it makes the entire surround
ing ground unhealthy owing to its ran
dom nature. On the other hand. from
the crest where the correspondent is
stationed the hill slopes on the opposite
dead bodies of Germans who had been
caught in, the hail of French shells
when they were endeavoring to come
to the support of the front line.
Battalion Commanders Taken.
How complete was the victory of
Tuesday October 2D may be gathered
from the capture by the French Of ten
unwounded German battalion COM
manders of the 7th Prussian Grenadiers.
I0s other officers. 500 non-commissioned
officers, $500 men and more than 100
machine guns.
Thirty-one German battalions from
nineteen different regions occupied the
front line when the battle opened.> At
the end all these had been destroyed
or captured at a less to the French OF
casualties amounting to only about
one third the total number OF prisoners.
Douaumont itself suffered smorc from
the French than the German artillery,
three great shells from a French gun hav-
ing struck in precisely the same spot
The honorS Of the capture fell to the
colonial infantry from Morocco.
Rapid Advance a Wonder.
The rapid French advance and the vic
torious attack over ground such as sur
rounds Douaumont is one of the wonders
of the recent battle. Mud Anywhere else
on the front is just mud. Here it is the
strongest glue. Trenches and other
methods of defense and approach are
non-existent. The only shelters for the
troops are deep shell holes in the gluey
mud.
Still, the five miles of advancing
French infantrymen traversed the
ground up the slopes almost as on
parade Scarcely a rife shot was fired
during the battle. which was won by
big guns and bayonets. French

altitude of only 100 feet and kept the

 meeting through their columns from time to time. Every teacher should plan to attend the meeting of the Association. The inspir- ation and professional uplift that come from these meetings must mean much to the teachers in this work.

THANKSGIVING.

Again on next Thursday we are this
year called to halt our daily pursuits
and 70 to the churches and public
places and there give thanks to Je-
hovah for his many blessings that his
bounteous hands has given us the past
year. To thank God for health, life
and, liberty. When we think OF the
great bloodshed, suffering, killing,
bleeding and dying in the eastern
hemisphere our hearts should bleed
in sorrow for their suffering condi-
tions and we should thank God that
we are not in it. With the high cost
of living, with death and destruction
around us, with wars and rumors Of
war around us, with democratic hard
times, discrimination and segregation
for the Negro we ought to thank our
God that we are yet alive and still
hopeful. We might say that while
we may not eat 50 many turkeys next
Thursday as usual, yet the life Of the
innocent fowl will be saved and we
can give thanks around our table Tor
the food we have and the blessings
we enjoy.
