+. Seats for the Helen York concert.
Wednesday evening, December Is at
City hall, continue to sell freely and
it is assured that she will sing before
as representative an Augusta audi
ence as could be assembled.
The announcement that Mr.. Leon
Van Vliet the popular Boston 'cellist
Is to assist Miss York has brought
forth much favorable comment in
musical circles.
Tho cello is one Of the most ex-
pressive Of Instruments; its techni-
que is that Of the violin, but its
thicker strings render it much more
difficult in the allegro passages.
Beethoven was the first to give violin
work to the cello and was severely
criticized for writing seeming i'm
possibilities. With Mr.. Van Vliet
the cello is at all times in the hands
of a master. His playing is sure to
be warmly received.

chasing a seat should do so imme-
diately as the best seats are rapidly

of the battle was the fact that the
German coast batteries We're not
firing. The enemy artillery reacted
heavily south OF Roulers after the
allied attack was launched but
north OF the city this fire was very
slight, indicating that the German
guns had been withdrawn or were
being taken back by the enemy. The
German rear guards were overcome
and further north the enemy resis-
tance gradually grew lighter as the
assault progressed. Among the
prisoners was a complete regimental
staF and battalion commander.
Burning Towns Again.
The enemy has begun blowing UP
material which he could not remove
and the torch Is being applied to the
towns that are being abandoned
by the Germans. There have been
explosions near Beerst.
The fact that the coast batteries
are not firing has given rise to the
ruznor that the British naval forces
are operating of the coast. One re-
port even went so far to say that
ostend, which seems bound to he
evacuated by the enemy, has been
entered by British monitors. There
is no confirmation Of these rumors.
Only a thin enemy barrage was en-
countered by the British during their
attacks. South OF Lichtervele the
British have drawn we'll to the east.
They have passed through Reuters
and are still advancing. They are
also operating quite a distance east
Of the Mentn Roulers road.
