French Have Driven Enc
my From Hill Positions
Near Cathedral City !.
ADVANCE MAY
BE MORE RAPID
Have Captured the Impor-
tant Railroad Center
of Challerange
(By Associated Press.)

Generals Berthelot and Gouraud
continue their attacks north of
Rheims and In Champagne and have
taken further ground from the enemy.
North OF Rheims the enemy has
been driven from most of the hill
positions ana soon will be in the open
where the French advance may be
more rapid. In Champagne General
Gouraud has captured Chailerange, a
railroad junction, and his guns now
command the junction of VOUCHERS,
Further north. In losing Challerange
the Germans lost command Of the
railroad running to the forest at
Grand Pre-. The line was the main
supply line OF the Germans facing
the Americans east Of the Argonne.
In withdrawing from the Lille Ba-
lient the Germans are endeavortng to
get out Of the traps which Marshal
Foch has constructed. While ham
mering the formidable Cambria -Laon
line by thrusts in Flanders and from
Rheims TO the Meuse he is bending
back the German flanks. The Ger
man supply lines are menaced by the
allied advances on the f1anks and
should they be cut the German sit
uation would be most desperate. It
would seem, however, that the retire
ment, unless to a great depth, would
be of little avail toward putting OFT
q retreat all along the line from the
North sea to Alsace.
From July 10 to Sept. 80 the allied
armies in France and Belgium cap
tured more than 254,000 prisoners.
$500 guns and $4,000 machine guns.
From Sept. 10 to Sept. 30, 10000
men, 1900 cannon and more than
5000 machine guns were taken.
The French Official Report.
Paris, Oct 3.-Heavy fighting con-
tinues in e1e region north Of Rheims
and the French have continued their
advance, capturing Loivre' says the
war office statement today. The
railway junction of Challerange In
Champagne has been captured by
General Gouraud.
The statement reads:
North or the Vesfe the French
troops continued their advance and
progressed Beyond Lovre. In the re-
gion OF LaNeuvilette (north OF
Rhefms) violent German counter att
tacks obtained no results.
''In Champagne the fighting began
again after noon yesterday and con-
tinued into the night. The French
troops captured Challerange.
THE Germans made strong efforts
to drive the French from the wood
southeast of Orfeuil. which they had
penetrated. Three heavy German as
saults were broken up by the French
who maintained their gains and In
flicted heavy losses on the enemy. A
number of prisoners were captured
by us in the course of this fighting.

break today"

Of job, and seldom day passed, ex-

the old spinning wheel was heard in

spun and dyed by my mother in 1865,
and woven by a Widow Morrell in

accumulated for a web" were first
thoroughly secured, that is given a
good washing with soft soap and wa
ter. Then came the dyeing, if the
goods were to be colored The dyeing
process was usually performed by the
aid Of the big iron kettle in the yard,
except for the blue This color was
wrought through the i'll smelling indi-
go dye tub, which would not be toler-
ated for a moment in any we'll regu-
lated home today, but was always in
commission at that time, and occu-
pied a state position under the rear
Of the cook stove beneath the "eIe-
waited" oven. A red color was OBJ
tanned from madden, a black from log
wood, yellow from copperas, and q
green from first dyeing a yellow and
then passing through the blue dye tub.
One pleasing effect for stocking yarn
was obtained by tying knots in the
skeins before placing in the blue dye.
This gave a fine clouded appearance
to the finished product
After the war several webs of moth

by old Lady Verback of our township,
were taken to the old Manchester
mill at Baraboo, where they were dyed,

as heart could wish, and by the aid of
Tailor 'Ike" Evans Of Prairie du Sac,
some very presentable garments were
produced for the masculine portion of
