THE GREATEST BATTLE
EVER FOUGHT.

y \ y 4 = ~ = =
The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will
find it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of men,
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a woman's walled-up
heart
OF woman that would not yield
But bravely, silently bore her part.
Lo! there is that battlefield!
No marshaling troop, no bivouac song,
No banners to CLEAN and wave.
But, oh, those battles! they last so long
From boyhood to the grave.
She fights in her walled-up town.
Fights on, and on, in the endless wars.
Then silent, unseen, goes down!
Oh! We with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise;
1 tell you the kingliest victories
fought
Are fought in these silent ways.
OH spotless woman in world OF
shame,
With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came,
The kingliest warrior born!

Sweaters Are Still Needed

The war council of the American
statement to all division magnates:
1T is imperative that all sweaters,
wristlets and socks that possibly can
be made by women of the country be
turned in to the Red Cross supply
department as soon as possible. With
cold weather coming on the demand
for sweaters has been beyond the ca
pacity of our resources. We have
forwarded promptly all knitted ar
ticles received from chapters, and
have in addition been compelled to
buy in the market $4,000 sweaters,
of which but 100000 have been de-
livered.
These sweaters are machine knit
and the yarn used is a mixture of
cotton and wool, so that it does not
draw any considerable amount of
yarn from the women knitters of the
Red Cross.
We have received from chapters
about 100000 sweaters and approx
mately the same number of machine
made sweaters, all of which have
| been delivered to men in camps and
| training stations, with the exception
| of few thousand which we have
| sent to France. The requests from
| organizations in France for sweaters
| and knitted goods have had to re-
main unsatisfied on account of ou1
| inability to secure enough for the
| men of our own army and navy"

A standard type OF training plane

One Counter BLOW sucoeeds

London, Oct. %. - German troops
made successful counter blow against
one new British post in the southern
portion of Houthulst wood, forcing the
British to fall back q short distance
Field Marshal Haig reported today.
The German assault came early last
night, the British commander in chief
reported.
This counter blow is the first which
the enemy has made in the last two
British drives.
Another general combined offensive
blow by British and French troops be-
yond what used to be the Ypres sec
tor, was forecast in descriptive dis
patches from the British front today.
Yesterdays local attacks by the allies
were held to be the first of two pre-
liminary steps to such concerted
drive, designed to widen the edge of
the wedge which Haig has been stead
lily pushing through the German lines
since July 81.
The point of the British wedge now
rests near Passchendaele on the ridge.
Yesterdays local ATTACKS, were design
ed to widen the angle of this point to
the north. Next, London expects Haig
to achieve the same widening by local
attacks on the south. Then will come
the general assault
