GERMANS TOLD
VERDUN Dat TILE
MOST DECISIVE

PARIS Oct. 26-On the Serre front,
southwets of Marie, the French have
captured the village of Mortlers at
ter violent fighting, the war office an
nounces. Between the Disc and the
Serre the French maintained contact
with the enemy.
Between Sissone nd Chateau Por
Glen the French, breaking up the en-
emy resistance, carried their line for
ward on front of four and one-half
miles to a depth of two miles at GER
tain points through the positions pre-
pared by the Germans in 1917.
An order signed by the German
General Won Marwitz, dated October,
/, which was takenu from a German
prisoner, warned the fifth German
army fighting east fthe Meuse that
the enemy was about to attack with
the object of cutting the Longuyon?
Sedan railroad and making he ex-
ploitation by the Germans of the Briey
iron mines impossible.
The order says that on these mines,
German steel production is largely
dependent and the fate of great part
of the western front and perhaps of
the German people, depend on firm
resistance along the Verdun front
The battle has famed up again and
heavy fighting now is under way from
Valenciennes to the Meuse The Ger
mans are fighting we'll everywhere.
but the allies continue to make sub
stantial headway in the task of driv-
ing bac kthe enemy on the Meuse line.
Although the recent fighting has
been marked by no sensational de-
velopments, it is having cumulative
effect, which, apart from the ground
gained adds considerably to the vast
age of men and material with which
the Germans must reckon.
In the last four days the enemy has
lost we'll up toward $4,000 prisoners
and 20 guns. His total losses of eff
fectives cannot have been less than
10000.
Strictly speaking, there are three
large battles in progress, all of which
are being conducted with equal sue
cess for the allies.

French and British Forge Ahead.

NEW YORK, Oct 6-(Compiled
from news dispatches during the day)
While the British, French and
Americans are slowly breaking their
way through the stubborn defense
along the line south Of Valenciennes,
the attention of the allied world is
directed for the moment at last, to
the Italian from where General Diaz
seems to have started major opera
tion.
Fighting on large scale appears to
have begun on Thursday, when the
Austrian official statement reported
heavy artillery fire from the Brents
river to the Montello plateau. 1t was
reported yesterday that Italian, Brit
ish and French forces attacked be-
tween the Brenta and Piave rivers and
advanced over rough country for
considerable distance. At the same
time the. allies moved ahead and cap
tured islands in the Piave above the
Nontello plateau.
This stroke was aimed at the angle
i,l the Austrian line which runs from
the Adriatic along the Piave until it
reaches the mountains and then turns
to the west. If the allied attack
ankles material progress the Austrian
armies on the owlands near the sea
and those holding the front in the
mountainous sector may be divided
The number of prisoners taken,
2 coo. would seem to indicate fighting
Of serious nature. 1t is too early to
determine whether General Diaz has
really begun an offensive or is merely
directing an operation which is in the
nature of a diversion. 1t may be that
the morae o fthe Austrian army,
which has repeatedly been reported
to be very low. will be determined by
the fighting during the next few
days.

he status Of American investment

=; The government. as well as oil inter

-ress of suits Instituted in the Mexican
courts by the American, British,
French and Dutch oil companies for
relief from the program of the Car
rama government, arising from a pro-
vision of the Mexican constitution of
1917 which attempts to vest in the
nation only the right to minerals and
oils under the soil of the republic.

Mexican Oil Vital to Allies.

Inasmuch as Mexico ranks third
among the oil-producing nations of
the world, and Russia, which stood
second, no longer is furnishing any ap-
preciable quantity, the Tampico pro-
duction was vitality necessary to the
nations at war, and the American.
British, French and Dutch companies,
acting under advice of their govern
ments, refused to file the demanded
1nahifests and applied to the Mexican
courts for relief.
Not one of the American companies
operating in Mexico. says the Depart
ment of Commerce report. ever has OBJ
tanned a concession of land from the
Mexican government, their contracts
of purchase or lease having in every
case been made with private owners,
who held titles extending back often
for more than 250 years.
The demands of the war for fuel oil
are continually increasing, according
to the review. Petroleum stocks in the
United States were reduced by S,034,-
S3S barrels during the first six months
of 1918. With heavy increases in ship
ping, many of the new ships being oil
burners a further demand may be ex-
pected. At least 2.500,000 barrels of
Mexican oil per month has been used
in the past in connection with the
military and domestic needs of the
United States and estimates of the
present need place the requirements
as, high as 100000 barrels a month.
In addition. the navieS of the allies,
especially the British, require fuel oil,
mostly obtained from Mexico, to keep
them on the high seas.

BANK SWINDLER ESCAPES
Makes Getaway From Chicago Detect
iye-Abducted Hebron Girl

Anton Zabatons, alias Alexander
Palmer, arrested near Dickinson last
week in the company of Martha Waltz,
seventeen year old Hebron girl, on
the charge of swindling Chicago
bank out of $4,000 escaped from train
No. 2 of the Northern Pacific Satur
day evening while en- route to Chi
cago with Thomas Mcfarland, Chi
cago detective. His partner Char
ley Kochnes, was arrested in San
Francisco the latter part of the week.
The two men are natives of krako-
vona, Russia, and had planned to meet
in San Francisco and thence leave for
Russia. When taken into custody near
Dickinson the young man had in his
possession about $4,000 in $1,000
bills. He made purchase Of a
dress for the Waltz girl in Dickin-
son at the Roquette store presenting
$500 bill in payment. The bill was
taken to nearby bank to make sure
that it was real. A personal check
was given the man in exchange and
this was found on his person when
taken into custody. The father of
the girl arrived in Dickinson shortly
after the couple left and the sheriff
was put on their trail He could
give no account Of the money he had
in his possession and consequently the
sheriff mistrusted him as a bank rob-
Der. The Pinkerton detectives Of
Chicago were communicated with and
found him to be the man wanted for
forgery in Chicago. He was being
returned to Chicago when he made his
getaway.
Last seen by the detective he was
clad in his B. V. DIS and was hand
cuffed. His escape was made before
reaching Jamestown by breaking
through a window. The detective
has offered a reward Of $50 for his
apprehension. A reward was Of
fered in Chicago for his capture
which no doubt would have been given
to the Stark county, North Dakota,
and Dawson county Montana, sher
ifs.
