WASHINGTON, Oct 5.-The allied

Indications today pointed to de-
veIopment of a claw-Ilke offensive

being the allied forces In the near
east; the other, the gallant Italian
army.

ance and signs are Increasing tha,
this will be q portion Of General
Foch's strategy.
Application of the claws to Austria
Hungary, It is held, would force her
to make genuine peace offer. The
present reported Austrian request
upon Holland to seek a peace con-
ference is regarded here as only an
other step In the known plan to de-
veIop a peace offensive throughout
the fall and winter. However, ii the
claws were sunk into the monarchy,
Il Is felt here that It would be only
matter of very brief time before
Austria would be out with a real
offer to quit.
Incidentally some authorities fore
see plainly that Germany proposes
new and particularly sinister peace
offensive before long. Its Indicated
lines are based upon a retirement
from Belgium and northern France.
When this retirement has been ac.
oompllshed, 1t is likely Germany Will
endeavor to appeal to the pacifist ele-
ment of her foes, particularly In
Great Britain among the Lansdowne
and labor factions for a peace con.

devastation in France is met with
widespread approval. The warning
was timed to save Lille and other
industrial cities. through which the
Boche is preparing to pass in his re-
treat.
The press comment on the warning
intimates that all the allies are likely
to join In a warning that will state
frankly to Germany that the martyred
towns and cities Of Belgium and
France will be avenged.
Premier Clemenceau stated:

Around the tall stove in the house
of Combination the firemen were
swapping stories Of strange happen
ings Monday evening. One of them
recalled that the late William H.
Field one morning was putting on
his boots, when one member of the
family cried that a rat had just run
into one of the boots. Mr. Fields
took each of the rubber boots and
shook it, but there was no appearance
of any rat. so the former Bath team
ster put on his boots and went about
his days work. In the evening when
he pulled off his boots. from one of
them jumped out that rat. This
brought forth another story of the
same man. A helper was leading one
morning in winter, very cold morn
ing it was, one of the horses TO water
when the animal CAPPED. See that
horse cape. boys" observed Mr..
Fields, well that is sure sign it will
rain before night" The weather was
then near zero point and none Of the
men took stock in this forecast but
sure enough at noon a change came.
1t grew mild and rained before night
The teller of the story said that he
had observed the same thing over
and over again. Another good story
told was this: When a young man is
interested In a girl and on Halloween
wants her to appear, if he will cut out
of red flannel heart shaped frag-
ment and put that in dish of boil
ing water and center his thoughts on
the girl. while watching it boil, invar-
iably that young lady will shortly
after appear at the house door to
come in. Few Of the boys present
were inclined TO believe that yarn. 1t
can be tried next year at Halloween.
