AutuDin'S Beauty.

lhe hills are purple dressed

That God has set the world aEloW
10 mark the passing year.
The maple leaves turn red again
Earth s canvas is complete
And beauty's ways we tread again
To rest and laughter sweet
OF care the weary soul is eased,
The winter has begun
And there are signs that God is pleased
With all that we have done.
Gods smile Is over all again
The fields Of strife and care,
Where Soon the snow shall fall AGAIN.
The robes OF splendor wear
The poorest tree is rich with gold
On every tvig we see
The praises Of the Master told
For what II tried 10 be.
Perhaps when peace shall come again
And all the strife is DER
When still shall be wars drum again,
And battles rage no more,
Our souls shall glow with beauty rare
Throughout lite'S autumn days
And God shall hide our sears OF care
Meath purple robes OF praise.

WITH THB AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHW EST OF VERDUN. Oct
2S.-The American dong range guns
this afternoon began firing on Lon
guyon.
The town OF Longuyon is 2s miles
northeast OF Verdun. The American
long range fire also is being directed
AGAINST the vital Vote de Rocade on
the railway line praralleling the
front. The Germans are depending
on this road TO shift their troops and
supplies from one point to another.
The caliber of the gun may not
be announced an yet but the gun can
shoot many miles. The weapon ID
said to be Indefinitely moro formid-
able than the big gun with which
the Germans bombarded Paris,
though It's range is not as great.
The big guns were ready for use
some time ago but could not be used
because bad weather prevented the
necessary support by aviators. The
sky now has been clear for two days.
The results OF the bombardment
have not yet been announced.
The noise OF these long range guns
has been waited eagerly ever since
the Americans advanced To a point
from which the guns could reach tho
vital, railroad. For days the guns
have been on the American sector
maneuvering for positions from
which they might successfully bonn
bard the Sedan n-Carignan- -Montmedy-
Languyon line.
The cutting OF this line. toward
which the Americans have been
pressing constantly. would mean the
virtual collapse Of the entire Ger
man front to the Dutch border.
Even to interrupt the railroad inter-
mittently would be huge gain,
since most OF the German relief d.
visions sent against the Americans
havo been brought in over that line.
