WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FLANDERS, Oct. 9.-Amid one of the most terrific hurricanes of artillery fire the French army, operating in conjunction with the British, early this morning won a brilliant victory which carried the troops forward 10 a depth of half a mile along a front of about a mile, stretching from Draeibank to Wydendreefs. More than 300 prisoners and a number of can non and machine guns fell into the hands of the French, and their advan- tage took them to a position where they command the western border of the forest of Houthoulst
 The movement was pivoting one, and as a result virtually all the ob- servatOries dominating the vast Elan ders plain now are in the hands of the allies.
 Ground a Quagmire
 The attack was preceded by howl ing windstorm, accompanied by a drenching rain, which made the ground a quagmire. The correspond ent passed over the Frnech side O. the battle field on the evening pre- ceding the attack and found every thing and everybody ready. But un- derneath the feet the ground gave way. while the atmosphere resembled shower bath. No garments could withstand the penetrating qualities of the elements. All around shell holes were filled to their brims with water.
 At length. soon after } o'clock in the morning. definite orders arrived, and the troops were glad. They went for ward with great rapidity notwith- standing the conditions. circling the shell holes and slipping through the deepest mud They knew. however, that the success of future operations depended on their efforts today.
 Enemy in craters
 When they reached their first ob, jective points they found the Germans crowded in nests of craters, which hereabouts form the first lines, the building of trenches in this section of Flnaders being impossible owing to the porous soil.
 Germans Unprepared

RETIRING JUDGE
GETS GOLD RING
COUNTY OFFICIALS SPRING A
PRETTY SURPRISE ON
MORGAREIDGE

There was a pleasing little function
in the office of the probate judge this
afternoon when the office was trans
fered from Will F. Morgareidge, the
judge for the past 10 years, to Adrian
Nelson, just appointed to the office.
At the preconcerted moment all the
county officials crowded in upon
Judge Morgareidge and presented him
with a beautiful solid gold signet ring
with his monogram wv. F. NJ" en-
graved in the setting and the in
scription, From Latah County Of
ficers, 1917" on the inside.
A touching little presentation
speech was made by Judge Nelson in
which he referred to the fine record
of the outgoing official, his high
character and many fine qualities of
head and heart. A fitting response
was made by Judge Morgareidge, but
his voice quavered as he spoke.
The transfer of the office took place
this afternoon after the commission
ers had approved Judge Nelson's bond.
Judge Morgareidge expects his COM
mission as postmaster any time now.

Kaiser is Ready for ''Peace at Any Price,
WILL SOCIALISM PLAY
PART IN PEACE PLANS?
Reports from Inside the German Lines Indicate that
Definite Moves Are Under Way Again to End
the War Through Negotiations

COPENHAGEN-G is earn
estly seeking to revive peace talk in
all the belligerent countries. She still
asks peace on her own terms, although
her terms are somewhat modified. She
is trying to maneuver the allies into
asking for peace.
This latest scheme, as established
by information form high source, is
an ambitious one and worldwide in
its scope.
Positive confirmation of the over
lures from Berlin to the United States,
reported in the United Press dispatch
es last Thursday, was obtained today.
1t is hinted from German official
sources that the United States would
do we'll to send Col House to The
Hague.
The main intrigue is one whereby
Germany hopes to establish peace
through the Socialists. The Socialist
leaders in Germany have been allowed
to communicate with the Russian and
other enemy country Socialists.
Drastic rules have been suspended
for the benefit of the Socialists, and
Germany is evidently exerting a trem-
endous influence through Socialists for
a separate peace.

haul at Viola Saturday night. They
blew open the safe in the general mer-
chandise store. of Archie w. Bowles
and got away with $400 in cash and
checks. Of the total amount $270
was in checks, but as these were IN
dorsed, it is feared that the thieves
may realize on all or part of them.
OF the remainder 500 was in currency
and $40 in silver.
AS soon as the robbery was discov-
cred Sunday morning the sheriff's Of
flee was notified and Sheriff Camp
bell and Deputy John Hall hurried to
Viola. They put in Sunday investi-
eating the crime and trying to secure
some clue to the thieves. Deputy Hall
is still at Viola today, but up to the
time of making the last report no
trace had been found!
The officers are satisfied as result
of their investigation that the work
was done by experts.

Out of Place
LET THOUGHT BE SERIOUS
Rev. David III. Hare Delivers Stirring
Sermon DeplOring the Spirit That
Rules in the East

add to your knowledge self-control

your patience godliness. Peter ILL
6.
Taking these words for his text Rev.
David H. Hare delivered strong SER
mon Sunday morning emphasizing the
vital importance of serious thought
and action at this time when the world
is swallowed up in the horrors of war
and the grief and suffering that must
follow in the wake of war.
"GhastIy Smooth Life
"In the standards of human life and
action which the New Testament
teaches u.s." Mr.. Hare said in opening
his discourse; there is no room for
self-seeking, se1f-indulgence, content
ment with self. Everywhere the stand
ards pour contempt upon what Brown
ing calls the CHASTITY smooth life, dead
at heart Everywhere the standards
point to austerity of life, devotion to
duty, strength, self-discipline."
Fellowship of Suffering
Numerous illustrations were given
to show that Christ expected those
who followed Him to make sacrifices
for their fellow men.
off," said the speaker" we live the
easy, self-indulgent life, have
everything done for us, not willing to
forego for others, then we lack the
blood of sacrifice which should run
red with the glow of the suffering Of
God and His son, Jesus Christ. Be-
cause we lack the sacrificial element
in the 'ghastly smooth life,' we can
not enter into the god-like life as we
should.
eve are at time in our life when
we need to know the fellowship of suf-
fering. In the suspense Of the hour
we may expect at any moment to have
brought home to us, as we have never
had it before, that it is no time for the
R0dSCly SlUOOLu lllcs
Enjoy War Profits
Mr.. Hare quoted an editorial from
The Continent, church paper of wide
influence published in Chicago depict
ing the wild festivities in eastern
cities, "gayety paid for by profits from
the distress across the sea-"
Europe has paid America" says
the editorial; "and America has been
payl Such balls as America has had,
such private and public entertain
ments, such cabarets, such extravag-
ant establishments maintained, such
exciting social. life all winter-as
though America were not part OF the
world at all. America part OF the
world but keeping we'll out Of the dis

enter into that distress for the saliva

Try to Dodge Duty
Farther on the editorial says: while
Europe is stricken to it's very heart, |
America has no right to be joyous. |
Trying to be SO is to emulate the CO.
