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 abandonment of the Argonne would mean in the long run a general German retirement along the whole line, probably to the line of the Sambre and the Meuse. Similarly, the British capture of La Bassee and Lens would be followed by a shrinkâ€" age of the whole German line before Lille. The tale of the booty, gratifyâ€" ing as it is, is nothing like so enheartâ€" 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.

The preâ€" sent day lance rarely exceeds eleven feet. The Sahara Desert has an area of about three and a half million square miles. "Germans caught hiding in cellars, from which they kept up a steady fire on the men dashing through the streets of the village, were hauled forth; machine guns firing through holes in the walls of cottages were charsed and captured. "Fierce fighting continued around the hill on Sunday and Monday.. The new army battalions played an imporâ€" 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 eneâ€" my‘s trenches and bayoneting the Gerâ€" mans in them. "Nothing could stop them. Two German trenches defending the village fell first; then a race across some open country and they were in the streets of Loos. Some handâ€"toâ€"hand fighting with bombs and bayonets, and then out of the village to the slope of Hill 70, about half a mile to the east. The last desperate rush took them to the summit, some going even beyond until checked by a strong earthwrork defence with numerous machine guns. "The enemy‘s batteries had by this time begun to concentrate on the slopes of the hill, and therefore our men were ordered to dig in about & hundred yards from the summit. "The first charge made by our men from the Vermelles trenches in the grey light of morning, which carried them right through the village of Loos and to the summit of Hill 70 and beâ€" yond this, will rank as one of the most glorious exploits of the British army. f A despatch from London says: A correspondent of Reuter‘s Telegram Company sends the following despatch from British headquarters describing the fighting in the great offensive of the allies on the western front: GERMAN DEAD © PILED FOUR DEEP Capture of Loos One of the Most Glorious Exploits of the British Army.

It is difficult to believe that future aerial raiders will get any guidance from the lights of London.

DARKNESS IN LONDON IS NEARLY COMPLETE How the severity of the fighting recently has increased, continues the paper, is indicated by the following figures: A despatch from Amsterdam says: The Prussian casualty lists Number 330 to Number 3$39, covering the perâ€" iod from September 17 to September 28, give the names of 63,468 men killâ€" ed, wounded and missing, according to the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, of Rotterdam.

A despatch from Stockholm says: The newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, on the authority of a business man, who has just returned from Germany, says that a great explo:ion occurred in an ammunition factory at Wittenberg, Prussiz. Two hundred and fortyâ€"two workmen were killed and many inâ€" jured. The Germans are trying to divert the allies by a heavy artillery bomâ€" bardment north and ~south of the Aisne, but, plans having been made by Gen. Joffre, the French are strikâ€" ing with all their forces at their comâ€" mand at the points selected.. The reâ€" port that the German Emperor has arrived ‘at the western front is conâ€" firmed, and he has already dismissed some of his generals for allowing their lines to be pressed back to alâ€" most the breaking point. 240 GERMANS KILLED IN MUNITIONS FACTORY Perhaps the heaviest fighting since the offensive began is now going on, for the British are attacking the Gerâ€" 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 eastâ€" ern front to meet the greatest effort made in the west since the armies took up their present positions from Belgium to Switzerland. Turkey Informed of United States‘ Displeasure East of Tahure and north of Manâ€" 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 beâ€" ing offered by the Germans. There is no doubt of the character of this reâ€" sistance. The Germans are doing the stiffest fighting yet displayed by them in the west. In Champagne the struggle continâ€" ues no less furiously. ‘French troops are gradually making their way up the Tahure heights and are closing in along the approaches to â€"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. f s 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 exâ€" panse of country to the north, and once the French guns are placed: on its summit the German communicaâ€" tions for miles around will be imperâ€" illed: s A despatch from Paris says: The War Office announced that the German casualties in killed, wounded and priâ€" 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 supâ€" plies. A despatch from London says: The German steamer Svionia, of Stettin, has been torpedoed in the Baltic by a British submarine, according to an Amsterdam despatch to Reuter‘s. Ten of the crew have been landed, while the remainder are on the way to Sassâ€" nitz. SUDDEN STROKE 1O BE LAUNCEED French Close Swiss Frontier and Reâ€" strict Other Communicaâ€" tions. Policy of Commerce Raiding in the Baltic Sea Indicated by Report From Ainsterdam GERMAN MERCHANT STEAMER SUNK BY BRITSH SUBMIARINE German Submarine Campaign Crushed timent in the United States was so stirred by the reports of the Armenian atrocities that unless the massacres ceased friendly relations between the American people and the peogie of Turkey would be threatened. "Hostile aeroplanes flew over Podâ€" jervatz, dropping 22 bombs and killâ€" ing three men, but doing no damage of military significance. On the seeâ€" ond visit they again dropped bombs, killing one man. The same day enemy detachments tried vainly to cross the Drina near Resnik. A similar attempt was made near Porachnitz." Already large reinforcements for the Germans are arriving on the westâ€" 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 atâ€" tack was made east of Auberville, which.he says was renulsed. A despatch from Nish says: The following official statement has been issued at the Serbian War Office: AUSTRIAN AEROPLANES RAID SERBIAN TOWN Many of the men are wounded in the legs. It was the machine gun fire playing on them as they advanced that made the most wounds. A great many, too, are suffering from bayonet wounds. 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, made a fine spectacle, and was the last thing needed to turn the Germans to flight. At several points the French troops have gained a footing in the second line, and some of them even went right through, but encountering Gerâ€" man reserves, were unable to maintain their progress. According to the Gerâ€" man account these latter troops were captured.â€".The Germans, however, adâ€" 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, French Wounded in Paris. The wounded French soldiers now in Paris say that the system of wire entanglements built by the Germans was more intricate than anything they had dreamed of. Even after the big guns had literally churned, up the earth many of the stakes and entanâ€" glements remained as a serious imâ€" pediment to rapid advance. A bombardment of unusual intensâ€" ity of the newly won positions in Arâ€" tois has failed completely to dislodge the French troops or even to shake the security of their hold.. The latest entrenchments taken inâ€"this sector, on the heights between ‘Souchez and Vimy, are being planted with heavy batteries. 13 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 taâ€" ken in Champagne alone now totals 121. The version of this incident sent to the Exchange. Telegraph Company from Copenhagen says that the Sviâ€" onio ran ashore after it was fired upon by a British submarine. The steamer Svionia, «which was built in 1895 at South Shields, was 2,796 tons gross. It was owned by a shipping firm of Stettin. A despatch from Paris says: More ground has been gained by the French, and everywhere in Artois and in Champagne the great offensive continues.
