Even after the big guns had literally churned up the earth many of the stakes and entan- glements remained as a serious im- pediment to rapid advance. It would seem that in Champagne particularly it was the cavalry that completed the rout of the Germans from their first positions. The charge of the horsemen, say the wounded, The London Chronicle‘s military correspondent writes under (late of October 1: “These last five days have changed the whole aspect of the war. They have brought eventual victory within the region of absolute and cal- culable certainty. They have shown that mastery in the west now belongs definitely to the allies in such a de- gree that whenever and at whatever point the hammer stroke is now (le- livered it will go crashing through the serried lines of fortifications upon which the enemy has spent twelve months of anxious attention and scien- tific ingenuity and upon the security of which all his hopes, not of victory, but of an honorable peace, as he calls it, are entirely based. Each new stroke will bring the inevitable end nearer. After a time it will cease to be a matter of chipping deeply at the surface. Suddenly a vital spot will be touched. This may happen any day, and then will come a sudden shrinking of the German line and the abandonâ€" ment of a large part, perhaps all, of A dCSpatch from Paris says: More ground has been gained by the French, and everywhere in Artois and in Champagne the great offensive continues. ' The booty captured in the first rush of the forward movement is growing rapidly as the work of counting is completed, so that now the seriousness of the German losses is much more clearly understood than was the case immediately after the first onslaught. The number of heavy field pieces ta- ken in Champagne alone now totals 121. A bombardment of unusual intens- ity of the newly won positions in Ar- tois has failed completely to dislodge the French troops or even to shake the security of their hold. The latest entrenchments taken in this sector, on the heights between Souchez' and Vimy, are being planted with heavy batteries. At several points the French troops have gained a footing in the second line, and some of them even went right through, but encountering Ger- man reserves, were unable to maintain their progress. According to the Ger- man account these latter troops were captured. The Germans, however, ad- mit the loss of Hill 191, to the north of Massiges, where the French are not far from the railway triangle, the possession of which‘has been of the greatest advantage to the Germans, as one of the lines has been used for supplying the Argonne army.'

A great many, too, are suffering from bayonet wounds. Already large reinforcements for the Germans are arriving on the west- ern front, and their presence has already had the effect of slackening somewhat the allies’ offensive. But there is a possibility of the offensive breaking out on some other section of this front. In fact, the correspondent of the Cologne Gazette at German headquarters announces that an at- tack was made east of Auberville, 7 which he says was repulsed. The lists from Number 300 to Num- ber 309 announced 49,705 casualties; ' the lists from Number 310 to Number 319 contained 53,396 names; the lists I from Number 320 to Number 329 gave | 58,445 names, and the remaining lists 5 as above. paign.

Similarly, the British capture of La Bassee and Lens would be followed by a shrink- age of the whole German line before Lille. The tale of the booty, gratify- ing as it is, is nothing like so enheart- ening as the clear and unquestionable proof that not merely the clearing of France and Belgium, but the definite defeat of the enemy, is within our power. That is the lesson of the last five days’ offensive." made a fine spectacle, and was the last thing needed to turn the Germans to flight. Besides the Prussian lists, there have been published 224 Bavarian, 199 Saxon, 274 Wurttemberg, 49 naval and four lists of Prussian officers and non-commissioned officers in the Turkish service. some weeks concerning the fate of 47 submarines and that they are .there- A despatch from Amsterdam says: The Prussian casualty lists Number 330 to Number 339, covering "the per- iod from September 17 to September 28, give the names of 63,468 men kill- ed, wounded and missing, according to the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, of Rotterdam. The Courant says that these figures increase the total Prus- sian casualties to 1,916,148. A despatch from The Hague says: The Dutch Government has made a serious protest to Germany concerning the passage of German airships over Dutch territory. Holland declares it expects Germany to take adequate measures to avoid violation of Dutch territory in the future. How the severity of the fighting recently has increased, continues the paper, is indicated by the following figures: ‘ DUTCH AGAIN COMPLAIN OF ZEPPELIN VISITS PRUSSIAN CASUALTIES NOW OVER 1,900,000 near Grand Pere, north of the Ar- gonne. upon which the French are directing their efforts from Massiges. The moment that railway is reached the position of the Crown Prince in the Argonne woods will become threaâ€" tened and the long and costly German effort to turn the Meuse heights from the rear will have been brought to nothing.

The new army battalions played an impor- tant part in the attack; men who had no experience in real fighting sprang forward to the sound of the officers’ whistles with a dash and gallantry which nothing could stop. Paying no heed to the terrible fire poured on them from the hidden guns, they pressed forward at a steady pace, making their way through the barbed wire entanglements, forcing the ene- my’s trenches and bayoneting the Ger- mans in them. “Nothing could stop them.

Another soldier whose leg had been amputated and who was carried by comrades received the military medal, the bestowal of the medal being greet- ed with applause by the numerous spectators.

Second Lieu- tenant Praquins, who had been badly wounded in the head, fainted in the arms of his nurses as General Cousin pinned the war cross on Praquins' breast. A despatch from London says: The new regulations under which storekeepers and others must greatly reduce their illumination under pain of severe penalties became operative Friday night and brought London to the darkest stage the city has yet reached. The darkening of the street lamps following the last Zeppelin raid already had reduced the thorough- fares to a gloom which the curtaining of windows in houses and stores Friâ€" day night deepened to a shade which was the limit of safety.

SUBEBEN SWGKE T0 BE LAEJNC men It is universally admitted that the disorders began without the police in any wise being to blame. and also that there was no political design con- nected with them. A despatch from Petrograd says: A proclamation issued by the prefect of Moscow exhorts the inhabitants of that city to avoid a repetition of the regrettable incidents of the last two days, when five persons were killed and a number slightly wounded as a result of unwarranted interference with the police. The prefect also requests the peo- ple not to gather in crowds, saying that rufi'ians await opportunities to begin disorders wherever people as- semble, however casually. The proc- lamation has had the desired effect. Perhaps the heaviest fighting since the offensive began is now going on, for the British are attacking the Ger- man third line of defence south of La Bassee Canal, and the Germans have brought up reinforcements against both the British and the French, and are making every effort to retrieve the lost ground. Belgium, despatches from Holland say, has been denuded of troops, while German detachments are even being removed from the east- ern front to meet the greatest effort made in the west since the armies took up their present positions from Belgium to Switzerland. The Germans are trying to divert the allies by a' heavy artillery bom- bardment north and south of the Aisne, but, plans having been made by Gen. Jol’fre, the French are strik- ing with all their forces at their com- mand at the points selected. The re~ port that the German Emperor has arrived at the western front is con- firmed, and he has already dismissed some of his generals for allowing their lines to be pressed back to al- most the breaking point. FIVE PERSONS KILLED DURING MOSCO‘V RIOT The battle continues without respite. In Artois the French troops pressed forward step by step until they had reached the dominating height known as Hill 140, and the extensive orchards to the south. This hill, the highest in the vicinity, commands a great ex- panse of country to the north, and .once the French guns are placed on its summit the German communica- tions for miles around will be imper- iIled. In Champagne the struggle contin- ues no less furiously. French troops are gradually making their way up the Tahure heights and are closing in along the approaches to the village itself. These heights, like the crest of Hill 140-in Artois, will afford the French guns a clear sweep towards the German communications at the rear, and will make it possible to so embarrass the German operations that a continued defence of that region will be very difficult. East of Tahure and north of Man- siges, where the fighting was as bitâ€" ter as at any other point on the entire front, the French made fresh gains in spite of the furious resistance be- ing offered by the Germans. There is no doubt of the character of this re- sistance. The Germans are doing the stifi‘est fighting yet displayed by them in the west. A despatch from Paris says: The War Ofiice announced that the German casualties in killed, wounded and pri- soners are in excess of three army corps, 120,000 on the fifth day of the fighting on the western front. The amount of booty is enormous. Already 79 cannon have been dragged to the rear of the French lines with a mass of uncounted material, including rifles, machine guns, ammunition and sup- plies.
