BELGIANS CAPTURE
 TUWy OF ROLLERS
OVER 5000 PRISONERS AND 300 GUNS CAPTURED IN OPERA
 TION-GHETUME TAKEN.

London. = Roulers, 8 Belgian town 13 miles northeast of Ypres, was cap tured, according to a dispatch reeety- ed by the Evening News from the Belgian battle front.
 British troops advancing in Belgium captured Cheluwe and are now about two miles outside of the Belgian railroad junction of Menin.
 The situation has become fraught with intensely dramatic possibilities
 The Belgians got into Dixmude by a smart fanking movement and went through the town swiftly Street fighting took place and large party of the enemy held out obstinately in the town hall. All the Germans were killed or captured. An entire battery of 15O milimeter howitzers was cap, tured in Houtholst forest.
 British and Belgian troops on Satug- day and Sunday took more than g. 900 prisoners.
 King Albert's forces at dusk this evening were attacking the Germans at St. Peter on the Roulers-M -Menin road, and at Colliemolenho1k.
 Belgian troops in their drive north and east of Ypres have captured 300 German guns. British troops in the same area took 97 guns.
 The gallant little Belgian army, as sisted by the British, is driving ahead in such manner as to menace tue German hold on the entire Belgian coast as far as Ostend
 Realizing that the ground iron which they are being thrown is inval- uable to them, the Germans are re- sisting heavily and have thrown in four divisions, at least, of reserves opposite the Belgians afone. one of these divisions contained elements of the regiments which were guilty of sacking Dinant.
 So fast did the British advance in the Flanders area that the batteries through the Siegfried meshwork of trenches was naturally slow, but the allied troops succeeded almost every where.
 Le Catelet, the key position to the whole sector between Bellicourt and Banteaux, was officially reported in allied hands.
 Important fortified villages were carried in rapid succession. Layac- queirie, Nauroy, Bony and Virlers- Guislain were taken early in the bat tie. The effects of the terrific allied bombardment were everywhere visi- ble in earthworks smashed level, with ghastly peeps at what had gone on underneath.
 Good news also came from the Bel gian front. Houtholst village, lost by counter attack, was retaken bv King Albert's troops Staden has been taken, and the whole Passchan- daele Ridge system has been overrun. During the day the Belgians counted more than $500 prisoners. On the St. Quentin front 4,OOO Germans were captured.

London. British and American troops launched an attack northwest of St Quentin, Field Marshal Haig reported. Fierce fighting is taking place on the entire front from S. Quentin to the Scarpe, about 95 miles.
 The British encirelement of Cam braf progresses favorably. Canadian troops have captured the defense sys- tenn known as the Marcoing- -Mass nieres line as far north as Sally. Since Friday morning the British have captured more than 16,O00 pris- oners.
 The fall of Cambrai is considered only matter of time. and the allies having gained an important footing on the eastern side of the under ground canal in the neighborhood of Belicourt, there is every likelihood that St Quentin soon will share a similar fate
 The French are maintaining steady progress in Champagne and the ene- my apparently is retiring from the Danes.
 Field Marshall Haig's statement reads:
 At 5:5O o'clock Sunday British and American troops attacked north west of St. Quentin to the Scarpe.
 Heavy fighting took place about Gonnelieu and the Welsh ridge. Our troops made progress on the high ground southwest of Gonnelieu, bur at Welsh ridge were pressed back slight ly. We renewed the attack on this sector at an early hour this morning and made progress, taking prisoners.
 At Marcoing we enlarged o1r bridgehead position evening, east of the Canal de L'Ascaut (Scheidt Car nal) and drove off hostile counter attack, taking a number of prisonets. Further north, English naval units established themselves as of the Riv- CT LEscaut, opposite Cantaing.
 North of the Bapaume-Cambrai road Canadian troops gained posses sion of defense system known as the Marcoing- -Masnieres lines as far north as Sally.
 English troops completed the cap tufe of Aubenscheul-Au-Bac and Pal luel and we are fighting in Arleux. We crossed Trinquige River in the neigh borhood of Sally y-Er-Ostrevent.
 'The number of prisoners captured by British troops since the morning of the 27th exceeds 16,000."

COMFORT IN HEN
 HOUSE REQUIRED
Prepare in Early Fall for Cold, DiSagreeabIe Weather When
 Fowls Are Indoors.
ESSENTIAL FOR WINTER EGGS
Fresh Air, Dryness, Sunlight, and Space Enough to Keep Chickens contented Are of importance
 Make Roof Watertight.

During the summer the poultry house question has not given the poul- try keeper much concern. The chick ems have had the freedom of outdoor life most of the time and just so they had a clean, airy place, free from vermin, and covered with a good roof to keep out rain, was about all that was necessary. But as winter ap- breaches and weather conditions are such that the fowls must be confined more, it is essential that their indoor quarters be made as comfortable as possible. This is one of the requisites of winter egg production.
 The prime essentials in poultry houses, according to the United States air, dryness, sunlight and space enough to keep the birds comfortable. The particular style of house is not im- portant, for a house that gives satis- faction in the North will also give good results in the South, but it is prefer able to have more open and conse- quently less expensive houses in the South than in the North. The loca- ton should have good water and air drainage so that the floor and yards will be dry, while the house should not occupy a low pocket or hollow in which cold air settles. When it is possible, southern or southeastern exposure should be selected, although this is not essential if there is any good reason for facing the house in a different direction.
 Importance of Roof.
 The roof is the most expensive but a most important part of the poultry house, and should be water-tight. Shingle roofs should have one-third pitch, while those covered with pa per or metal may have less pitch, or be almost fiat 3; however, the great CT the slope the longer the life of the roof.
 The shed or single-slope roof is adapted to houses up to 16 feet in width. It is one of the easiest styles to construct. It allows a high front to the house, and furnishes a north ern slope for the roof on which roofing paper will last longer than on a roof which faces the south. The combina- tion and semimonitor roofs are adapt ed for buildings from 16 to 24 feet wide, while either of these styles, or the monitor and the gable roof, may be used for wider buildings. The combination roof on house over IS feet wide gives the best head room at the least cost, reduces the amount of surplus air space, and gives neat appearance to the buildings; while the semimonitor and monitor types are best for wide houses which have a cen tral alley, particularly brooder houses. The semimonitor house usually faces south, while the monitor type of roof is frequently used on buildings facing east or west. The gable roof is used
