u. S. Filler a Prisoner
Corporal Buckley, of Lafayette
Corps. Was Captured, Not Killed

PARIS, Nov. 4.-French and Ameri-
can members Of the Lafayette Flying
Corps are rejoicing over the news just
received that Corporal Everett Buck
lev, Of Kilburne. H., was not killed as
reported on September s, but is pris-
oner in Germany. The report states
that Corporal Buckley was wounded
when captured.
Buckley has a brilliant record as a
pilot and during the recent Verdun
offensive he made five trips into the
enemy country in single day..
While on patrol late yesterday, Ser
eeant Ray c. Bndgman, OF Chicago,
and Sergeant Henry s. Jones, Of New
York. had an exciting combat with two
German biplanes lasting a quarter OF
an hour. Both Americans expended all
tbeir ammunition and drove the enemy
far into their own lines. The Germans
sred several hundred rounds before
emitting the fight. Sergeant Brdgman
,nacbine was hit several times. An ex-
niosive bullet grazed the gasolene tank
Of Jones's machine.

Haig Dislodges
Germans From
Two Positions
Sallies Into Enemy Lines
East Of Arras Meet
With Success
French Guns Active
Petain Believed To Be Ready
for Fresh Thrust at
Laon
French Guns Active

LONDON, Nov. 4.-While the British
troops in Flanders are engaged in
carrying out successful raids that fore
shadow another blow by Haig against
tho Passchendaele Ridge, the French
along the Aillette River valley, north Of
the Aisne, are keeping in close touch
with the Germans, who withdrew their
lines from the Chemin-des-Dames last
week. Along the whole front south OF
Laon the artillery fire continues un-
abated, signifying the intention Of Pc
tain to complete his campaign for pos
session Of the city before he goes into
winter quarters.
East of this region, from Rheims to
the heights of the Meuse. local engage
ments OF an intense nature have taken
place In the last two days. The French
to-day repulsed two successive attacks
by the Crown Princes troops north Of
Chaume Wood, and also assaults north
west Of Rheims and in the region of
Damloup, inficting severe losses on the
enemy, according to the official COM
munique from Paris.
British salies into the German lines
east of Arras and northeast Of Ypres
appear to be meeting with success. Two
German positions, one east Of Brood
seinde and the other southeast Of Poel-
capelle, were captured yesterday and
held against counter strokes of weak
character.
East Of Arras Irish Fusillers con-
Quoted successful trench raid south
west of Havrincourt, while in the
neighborhood of Gavrelle, on the old
Hindenburg line, London Territorials
won brilliant minor successes. Enemy
assaults at Monchy- -le-Preux were
driven back. In all these local actions
the British seem TO show superiority
over the Germans in every branch OF
fighting.
Berlin to-day records the repulse Of
British attacks on the Passchendaele
front, and asserts the German lines
there were improved, but makes no
further mention of activity on the
Flanders front.

were making a daring patrol, they found
one of the German front trenches
empty and Immediately gave the alarm.
Infantry Follows Patrols
Other patrols advanced, followed
hours afterward by strong infantry
units, in front OF which the French ar
tillery let down a heavy barrage fire
TO prevent surprises. The marching
troops, however, found all the trenches
empty. and a search of dozens of she !
ters and tunnels confirmed the depart
ure of the Germans.
It was evident that the German
troops which occupied the front lines
until the last moment received little
warning of the order 20 retire, as half
cooked meals, still hot. were found in
the saucepans.
II is q remarkable coincidence that
the same French troops which were fac
ing the Germans on this occasion had
occupied Lassigny when the Germans
executed their retreat in March Of this
year.
The entire position, which is per-
feet honeycomb Of shelters, was reor-
ganized by the French during the
course Of the day yesterday and
through last night.

Germans Again
Beguile Russians
Troops Fraternizing Near
Dvinsk, Petrograd
Reports

LONDON. Nov. 4.-The German
troops on the Russian front are grow
ing bolder In their attempts TO frater-
nize with the Russians and turn their
allegiance from the government, ac-
cording to the Petrograd War Office. AT
some points on the line they appear 70
he succeeding in their efforts. The
Russian statement to-day reports tnaV
determination between the hostile
troops has taken place in the region OF
Dvinsk. a vital point on the northern
Russian front
At other places. however, the Ger
mans are meeting with failure. Near
Buzeo, on the Rumanian front, tne
Kaisers patrols who tried to approach
the Russian lines with proclamations
were erlled with fire by the hostile
batteries and driven back to their
trenches, the communique asserts.
On the Caucasus front the Russian
army seems to be showing more &C
tivity than usual. To-day's Turkish
bulletin records the repulse Of several
Russian infantry attacks and the
bringing down Of three out OF nve
Russian machines which were making
fights over the lines. -,
British cruisers are evidently par

SheN-Torn Monfalcone
Affords VieW of Trieste,
Goal of Italian Armies
[By The Associated Prcssl

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Saturday, Nov. 8.
One Of the last visits to the front
permitted the correspondent by the
army authorities before the retirement
Of the Third Army began gave oppor-
tunity for an inspection of Monfaf
cone, on the edge of the Adriatic, where
from naval observatory the city of
Trieste was seen at sunset lying only
a few miles down the coast of the
gulf.
The sight was a notable one at any
time, but was doubly so at that event
ful moment, just on the eve of the
issuance of an order forbidding any
further visits by civilians owing to the
terrific she'll fire from the Austro-Ger-
man guns. which had already begun.
The naval observatory in itself was one
Of the strangest in the world, as il vas
set on the upper deck of an lS,OOO-ton
transatlantic liner still unlaunched and
left to rust on the stocks by the Aus
trisns when they were driven from
Monfalcone by the Italians.
The correspondent had first been
conducted through the shell-torn city
Of Monfalcone with its handsome build
ings blown to pieces and its streets
long ines Of jagged walls. Further
destruction was going on at this very
time, and during the trip through there
was huge explosion and the crash OF
falling walls.
In RAISING the shipyards it was noted
that the workmen's model dwellings
had been shattered by the shell fire and
lay in crumbliug ruins. At the en-
trance to the shipyards there was con-
spicuously displayed the sign, "Austro,
American Line" but the escort stated
that the line was not American In any
respect. The shops of this steamship
line are of vast dimensions, but all the
machinery stood if.e. curled and twist
ed By shell fire, and the roofs and walls
of the mammoth establishment were
sieved with shell holes. In the yards
there stood three monster ships on the
stocks, covered with yellow rust.
The largest of the three was the
liner through the interior of which one
climbed from the cavernous stokehole
TO the hurricane deck. Here in a cabin
far aft an observation post had been
cunnirgly constructed, and here view
-.as afforded of the promised land Of
Trieste. lying in the blaze of the de-
scending sun. The buildings Of the
city we're distinctly visible, its steeples,
towers and monuments and the long
lines OF wharves. To the left stood
out prominently Duino, with its tall
towers ard massive Gothic walls. Back
Of Trieste ranged .he mountains OF the
Carso, which afford the reasons why
General Cadorna had not taken the city
long ago, as holding the town was
military impossibilty with the Austrl..
ans commanding it from the helgths OF
the Carso range.
All this sweep of the city. its build
irgs and monuments. was easily witnln
range of the Italian guns, and yet the
city had been spared
As the correspondent stood In tne
observatory the bombardment from the
heights of the Carso increased in in
tansity. and within twenty-four hours
the fateful offensive was in full oper-
otion

Germans by Ruse Kill
Red Cross Workers
Snipers Shoot Men Lured to
"No Mans Land" by Cry Of
"Stretcher Bearers"

BRITISH FRONT IN BELGIUM, Nov
Am illustration Of the German dis
regard for the laws Of war and human
ity can be found in an incident which
occurred the other night near Hout-
hoist Forest. The British heard cries
of "Stretcher bearers!" from No Mans
Land. It naturally was assumed that
a wounded mar was calling for help
ard Red Cross bearers rushed out
darkness to render assistance. They
we're shot down by German snip.ers'
who used this ruse to entice them into
the open.
There have heen many other cases
recentlv in which German snipers have
shot down Red Cross workers delib-
erately, despite the fact that German
Red Cross workers have been per-
mitted 20 work unmolested.

French Are Uncertain
Whether Retreat Is OUer;
18 Square Miles Taken
[Rr me Avoriated Prc.,l

on THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, Nov. 4-The French advance
in pursuit Of the Germans beyond the
emin-des-Dames has attained an
average Of mile and half, the south
ern bank Of the Aillette being reached
everywhere. Altogether since yester-
day about eighteen square miles of ter
rtory have fallen into French hands
the progress being necessarily slow
owing to the uncertainty as to where
the Germans will make a stand.
II is uncertain whether the Germans
intend to retreat further, although
many movements of troops toward the
north have been observed, and 1T is
believed L.aon has been evacuated by
the civilian population. II is known
that the Germans were busily engaged
throughout the summer in establish
ing field works at a considerable dis
tance in the rear of their present POSI-
tion.
Many points in the line were bonn
barded by the German big guns dur
ing the French advance, especially in
the neighborhood of ALLIES, where nu-
merous mustard-gas shells somewhat
delayed the progress OF the French
troops.
Advance Is Cautious
The French are displaying the great
est prudence in their movements in
consequence of the frequency Of the
caverns on all sides in the hills. As
"A result CT this caution the troops
while going forward discovered q num-
ber of traps for the unwary. In Cerny
a steel helmet hung on a pole was
found on examination TO have an cleo
trio wire connection running into a
mine, which would explode in the event
Of the helmet being snatched away.
At the present moment the French
occupy every crest and possess all the
observatories above Craonne, ALLIES,
Cerny and Courtecon, while so far as
can be made out the Germans have
established their line on the other side
of the Aillette Valley, whence shower
Of bullets from numerous machine guns
comes on occasion. They destroyed
every bridge over the Aillette as they
retired.
The German evacuation was discov
cred on Friday by a patrol of chas
seurs. During the preceding night any
movement from the direction of The
French lines brought salvo of bullets
but toward dawn, when the chasseur'

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers
No pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle Of freezone, which will cost but
a trifie, but is sufficient to rid one's
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivcls them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freeZonc have him order
it for you.
