WIN EVERY POINT
French Carried German Works
at Verdun With Rush.
Paris Wild Over Tremendous
Victory for Ally Troops.

Paris, Oct. 25.-News of the new
victory at Verdun has caused tremen-
deus public enthusiasm here and this
IS all the greater because of the gen.
eral impression that Verdun was over
and done with and that both sides
were contenting themselves with hold
ing what they had won. Today's OPP
Grafton, proving that the French
could strike a smashing blow at YER
dun while carrying on an extended Of
fensive on the Somme, has greatly in
creased public confidence and gone
far to lessen the depression caused
by the loss of Constanza.
The attack was planned for ten
days ago. Artillery began preliminary
work but rainy weather set in and
grand headquarters ordered a pest
ponement. When the time came the
attack was delivered by four columns
of a division each, first on the left
between the southern slopes of Pepper
Hill and Thiaumont farm This met
with little difficulty. The attackers
carried Thiaumont work and farm
end the Haudremont Quarries set as
The objective and gained the Bras
attackers stopped, having advanced
about a mile.
Thru Ravine of Death.
The second column was a colonial
division under General Manein from
the corps, which re-took Douaumont
fort last May. The task assigned to it
was to take Hill $40, northeast of
F1eury and the edge of Caillette wood.
The offensive there was even more
rapid than on the left wing. General
Mangin Immediately saw he could adj
vance farther and the commanding Of
ficer was therefore informed that
preparations had been made to con-
tinue the attack. Hill 900 was rushed
by troops from Fleury, which ap
preached Caillette wood thru the cele-
hrated ravine of death. They then
crossed the wood and reached the ap-
proaches to Douaumont fort. Every
where the Germans gave way before
them. However, the garrison of the
fort hurriedly prepared to defend the
imp ortant point confided to it. French
troops surrounded the fort and ex-
! tended their gains everywhere with
out an instant's delay. Fatigue parties
set to work, turning the Iefenses so
as to be ready to resist counter at
tackS.
West of the fort, the village of
, Douaumont had been carried at a run
and passed beyond. Meanwhile a stiff
| struggle went on between the French
and the defenders of the fort. The
Germans refused to surrender and the
! French killed nearly all of them be-
fore they forced their way into the
ruins.
Things went equally well on the
right. The third column then adj
vanced half a mile reaching the edge
of the Vaux Pond and carrying the
part of the Vaux-Chapitre wood still
| held by the enemy as Fuminwood.
The column stopped north of the
woods on the outskirts of the village
/ Of Vaux. The fourth column which
was ordered to operate in the vicinity
Of Vaux fort without taking it followed
out the program exactly. 1t drove out
the Germans from Chenois and Laufee
woods, captured Dsmooup battery and
pushing ahead encircled Vaux fort on
the east, south and west, so that the
defenders have no way to issue ex-
cept to the north.

made to heckle him.

What did you do?" persisted the
man.
''Mr. Hughes, there is a bug in the

laughter subsidized, Mr.. Hughes said:

question I shall he glad to answer
him" but no further attempt was
made to interrupt him.
How about down in Mexico, Char

Illustration of how not to do it" replied
Mr. Hughes. 1T illustrates, in the
first place, the preposterous character
of the suggestion that the policy OF
the administration is a policy of peace.
Did Vera Cruz represent policy OF
peace?"
There were many Jews in Mr..
Hughes's audiences, ana he took ad-
vantage of the occasion to reiterate his
allegiance to the plank in the Re
publican platform pledging an effort
to secure a treaty with Russia replac-
ing the treaty abrogated during the
Taft administration because of dis
ordinations against American Jews.

WE DID NOT KNOW,

A leafiet industriously circulated by
the liquor forces, puts to its readers
the following query did you know
that Vermont, on March Z. 1916, voted
two to one to return to local option
after 90 years Of prohibition?"
mo, we did not know it, nor shall
we ever know 1t. And for the best
OF reasons-1T IS NOT SO!"
Vermont has had option for years.
Fully 80 per cent of the population
live under prohibition by local vote.

remain under that regime.-The Union

SEER WORSE THAN WHISKY.

This is what the Home Life Insur-

about beer:
"Of all Intoxicating drinks, 1t Is the
most animalizing. 1t dulls the INTEL

other drinks, it qualities for DELHI

respect 1t Is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drinker will COM
NIT murder only under the direct ex-
citement Of liquor, a beer drinker Is
capable Of doing it in cold blood.
Long observation has assured us that

tive than the acquisition of property
or money. often or trifling value, are
