FRANCE THRILLED
BY GREAT VICTORY

Paris, Oct. 24.-Importance of the
French stroke on the Aisne grew to-
day. General Petain's brilliant coup
was hailed as one of the greatest vic
tories achieved by French forces since
Verdun. The suddenness of the as
sault, its tremendous driving power
and the Irresistible elan OF the French
forces completely swept the Germans

Along four miles of the front on which
the attack was made the Poilus

MENACE TO LAoN.
Such an important gain at this par
ticular point suggests the most dang
erous menace toward the German held
city of Laon. The ground from NAL
maison and Chavignon to Laon Is
slightly rolling down hill and the great
French city Is not more than six miles
distant.
Laon is the base point of the So
called Siegfried line, part of the gem
eral line of the Hindenburg front. The
wedge driven into the German posi-
tons by the French victory yesterday
is exactly at the apex of the present
German battle line. 1t is where 1t
turns sharply from the general east to

northward to Coucy, La Fere, st.

TO OUR PATRONS

In view of the approach of the
winter season, we feel it our
duty to call the attention of
natural gas consumers to the
conditions with which we are
confronted and accompany cold
weather.
Each winter we have ex-
perienced an increased demand
for natural gas. The colder the
weather, the more excessiv it is,
and the coming winter due to the
high price of coal, we anticipate
lit will be greater than ever. At
ter continuously exhausting our
gas fields for many years past.
we are compelled to operate with
reduced pressure and decreas-
ed supply, both of which are
further temporarily affected by
extreme or continuous low
temperatures. Such combina-
ton of conditions is beyond our
power to control and it is posi-
BILE for brief periods our service
may be inadequate and should
not be relied upon without some
risk of personal discomfort. We
therefore at this time desire to
give due notice of such possibili-
ties, and recommend and urge
|all the consumers, and especial
ly those using gas in furnaces,
to provide themselves with some
other fuel and be fully prepared
in case of any shortage, and in
order to avoid discomfort and
suffering, not to depend upon
gas as the sole means of heating
their homes, but to supply them
selves with a reasonable amount
of coal or other fuel as a pre-
cautionary measure.
We have during the past year
been conducting a continuous
drilling campaign to add to our
supply and will continue our eff
forts to meet the requirments of
the winter demands, but we con-
slider it essential and proper to
give this timely warning and to
suggest that homes be provided
withsupplementary orauxilliary
appliances available for the use
of other fuels.

TO BE STAGED FAIRMONT NOV
EMBER 18TH.


A football game that is pre-
eminent in the minds of the
followers of West Virginia
University's football game just
now is that to be played week
from this coming Saturday
with Washington and Jefferson
at Fairmont. w & r is the old
and hereditary rival of the Nor
gantown institution and while
younger fans may enthuse over
victories over Wesleyan and
newer strong rivals the game
that is required to revive the
interest of the OLD Grads stilLit
approaches fever heat is the
annual w & j conflict. West
Virginia has met Washington &
Jefferson on the gridiron sixteen
times In these struggles the
Mountaineers have lost thirteen
times, won twice and tied once.
But of recent years it is well
known that w. ". u. has been
supporting an eleven that is on an
equality with Wa j., tho, unfor-
tunately the teams have met but
twice in the last six years. The
first of these games was in 1911
in Morgantown, West Virginia
winning 6-5. The second and
last encounter also took place
here the score being &c after
the play was called.
This year finds both teams
playing football that is attract
ing nationwide attention and
that the aggregations will draw
together the largest crowd that
has ever assembled in West
Virginia to witness a football
game is certain. Local interest
in the game is keen and a
large number will go from here
to see it. Some have already
made preliminary arrangements
for tickets and many others will
do so. The public sale of tickets
starts on Saturday November
ID. Sales will be conducted at
Fairmont, Clarksburg, and Nor
gantown and fans from other
places may secure seats thru the
mail by addressing the Director
OF Athletics at the University.
Tickets this year are $1.65, $3.50
being the admission price with
fifteen cents added for Uncle
Sans War Tax. Four thous-
and letters were recently mailed
from Morgantown to Alumni Of
the University and other foot
ball fans giving information on
the sale and several of these
were received here.
