Capture 1,060 Germans

Capture 1,UoU Germans
 From Ambleny to the east of Mont gobert. the French carried out their of- fensive and overwhelmed strongly for tified positions of the enemy along the entire front. Besides the beating back of the enemy, more than 1,060 Germans fell into the hands of the attacking force.
 Although the points of attack were separated by about 100 miles, the man. euvers seemingly had been well con- sidered by General Fech, the allied commander chief. as they were car ried out synchronously.
 Strategy is Apparent
 The strategy of the double stroke is apparent when it is realized that a. successful German thrust where the British struck would have menaced the channel ports or a similar move in the south would have placed the French capital in jeopardy. The Berlin official communication issued Friday evening made note Of the allied thrusts by declaring that the Germans r-ere busily engaged in attempts to r pulse them.
 ~ Fighting Brisk
 That the allied forces are not to be caught mapping by the Germans is indicated by the intensive aerial oper- ations that are in progress over and behind the battle lines. A British of ficial communication says that in air fighting Thursday 29 enemy airplanes were accounted for, 20 of them having | been destroyed and the others forced i to descend out of control. Fourteen | machines of the British failed to re- turn.
 
 Italians Battle in Mountains
 There is considerable fighting be- tween the Austrians and Italians in the mountain regions of the Italian | theater, but comparative quiet pre- vails along the Piave river across which the enemy was driven by the Italians early in the week. Unofficial reports are to the effect that troublous events again are +. progress in Russia. The Bolshevik government in Moscow is said to have been overthrown by forces under the leadership of General Korniloff and Kaledines. Moscow is said to have fallen and Trotzky and Lenine. the leaders of the Bolshevik government. are declared to have fled across the Gulf of Finland toward the Mournan coast. Another report is that Grand Duke Nicholas has been proclaimed emperor.
 I The reports that former Emperor Nicholas has been put to death or as sassinated persist, but there still is no official confirmation of them.

PARK

GAS an honest matter of fact, it
isn't necessary to say another word
in order to insure record three
nights at the Park theatre commenc-
ing Monday. Nov. and matinee We'd
nesday. Fair and Warmer is one
of those plays of whom everyone has
heard and which everyone wants to
see and see again.
Fair and Warmer opened at the
Harris theatre in New York one night
three seasons ago without any more
preliminary notice than is customary
to give any new attraction. Within
"a hours it was the talk of New York.
A more hilariously funny play had
never bee seen within the memory
of theatre-goers
Is it. any wonder then that all that
is needed to insure a packed theatre
is to hang a single card in a conspic-
uous place to herald the coming of
the farce?
Selwyn and Company, who present
this record breaker of Avery Hop
wood have assembled an excellent
cast. Its presentation here and the
production is exactly the same as that
in which the play was first presented
in New York where it ran for one en-
tire year. and in Chicago where its
run of eight months was only brought
to a close in order to fill contracts
made long in advance for a tour TAX
ing i'll every large city in the country.

besides the regular company and sew

surrounded by England's Bohemia
and is replete with action and comedy
of the kind which appeals to the most
exacting audience. "Outcast' is
easily the best effort that the Poll
Players have been called upon to pro-
duce and the play is one that should
be seen by everyone.
Tonight the final performance of
that wonderful success, THE Cabin
In the Hills" which has been playing
all week to capacity houses will be
given. The play is one of the most
unusual that has been seen here in
