PITH OF THE
WAR NEWS

The artillery duel raging on the front
in Flanders is the most violent since
the war began, according the the
Berlin official statement, and London
believes it pressages a great battle,
along the whole line.
Scoring a notable advance against the
Prusslans, the Rumanians captured
positions over an eighteen mile
front to depth Of nine miles.
France Is stronger as a result of three
years Of war, said Mr.. Painleve, Min.
ister Of War.
French troops broke up a drive by the
Crown Prince on the Aisne front and
in a counter attack gained ground.
Vienna reported that the Russians
were evacuating czernowitz and
Berlin announced the capture of
Kolomea, but Petrogrsd became
more optimistic saying that cavalry
and artillery defended the line Of the
Sereth to the last, only the infantry
fleeing, while the women's battalion
attacked the PrUssians, after the
men deserted, and took prisoners.

Paris, Oct. 24-The sweeping ma
ture of the French victory yesterday
north oil Aisne is indicated by
the official announcement from the
war office tonight which reports the
capture of prisoners exceeding 5000
heavy guns exceeding 20, 80 mine
throwers and so machine guns.
The text of the statement reads:
North of the Aisne the German
artillery was particularly active in
the sector of La Royere-Les Bovettes
and in the region of Ford de Nal

tends from Mont Des Singes (Monkey

entirety, to Chayignon The enemy

1t would be hard to exaggerate
the enthusiasm aroused through the
length and breadth of France by yes
terday's splendid achievement of the
French army on the Aisne front, fall
ing on the anniversary of the recap
ture of Ft. Douamont by Gen. Petain.
The blow apparently fell with all
the force of surprise, for 1t is un-
derstood that the German General
Staff held the opinion that after his
incomplete success in the spring of
fensive the French leader would not
find it advisable to resume offensive
operations before the end of the year
and this opinion was shared by a
great many Frenchmen.
