THE BATTLE LINE EXTENDED!
PARIS, Oct. 6.—The official information given out
this morning is not of very much importance. It is stated
tKa't on the left wing of the Allies the battle line has ex
tended considerably. Very important masses of German
cavalry are reported to be in the environs of Lille coming
from the forces of the enemy making movements north
of a line between Tourcoing and Armentieres. The Ger
man forces now operating in France and Belgium are es
timated at a full million of men. In the vicinity of Arras
and on the right luink of the Somme the situation is very
little changed. Between the Somme and the Oise there
have been alternate advancs and withdrawals but no de
cisive effect has been brought about. I he enemy under
took important attacks yesterday at various points but
all these attacks failed of their object according to, the
government report. North of Soissons the Allies made
some slight advance and also made some progress near a
place called Berry. Except for the extension of the battle
line to the north on the right wing of the enemy the gen
eral situation is about the same as it has been for nearly
a score of days.
ANTWERP SIEGE GOES ON
PARIS, Oct. 6.—News from Belgium this morning
shows that the defenders of Antwerp have occupied i
strong position near the river Neethe. Along this lim
the situation is hardly altered. The bombardment of tin
forts still proceeds. The Germans claim to have destroyec
some of those forts but their claims are not believed here
MORE BABY TALK
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 6.—Vivid accounts of the wai
are now appearing in the German newspapers. The Ger
man writers of those accounts declare the situation to b<
desperate and the success of Germany is a matter tha
hangs in the balance. The accounts of the various battle.4
by soldiers make the most thrilling reading. Owing t(
the censorship maintained the world has been unable t<
realize the horrible slaughter which has accompanied tin
battles or the terrific nature of some of the assaults made
RUSSIANS CONTINUE OFFENSIVE
PETROGRAD, Oct. G.—It is officially announcet
that the Russian armies are now bombarding some of tin
strong positions of the enemy on the frontier. Fierce en
gagements have taken place at a place called Bakalarg
ewo. The Russian artillery is pouring in a tremendou:
hail all along the line wherever they have come in toucl
with the positions of the enemy but no decisive result ha:
been reported from the great battle.
ENGLAND KEEPS RAW WOOL
LONDON, Oct. G.—The British government has pro
hibited exportation of raw wool to any other country am
this order went into effect today. The reason for the pro
hibition is the fear that the supply will run short here.
FIXING WAR TAXES
WASHINGTON, Ocfc 6.—Stamp taxes and taxes oi
proprietory medicines, cosmetics, perfumes and chewing
gum have now been voted into the war reVenue tax bill
Other taxes may also be placed therein and the work is b]
no means ended although it is generally well known tha
most of the taxes proposed recently will be retained.

BRITISH AEROPLANES I
CROSS THE SEA
_
LONDON, September 4—So little,
has appeared regarding the move
ments of the British aerial forces that (
the following excerpts from a dis-j
mission of its activities by one pro
fessing to be closely connected with
this branch of the service is interest
ing.
Speaking of the sending of thirty
six British aeroplanes across the
Channel by air, which was kept sec
ret for some time, he says:
“As a combined flight, that sur-'
passed anything ever done in aviation;
but it was only part of a big move- j
ment; other machines had flown
across the previous day, and at the
present moment three full squadrons,
Nos. 2, 3, and 4, each consisting of
twelve aeroplanes, besides reserves,
spares, and motor transport, are with
the Expeditionary Force. But apart
from the news of two fatal accidents,
and the appearance in the casualty
lists of an airmen’s name among the
wounded, nothing authentic has been
published concerning the doings of
the Royal Flying Corps.
“Even though I knew’ more than a
very little about the work of our j
Army aviators at the front, I should

"The evidence points to a general
superiority of German aircraft
throughout, and to a desire on the P
part of the enemy to create a depres- 11
sing moral effect on the allied troops L
by the parade of a vast number of j p
aeroplanes, which are ever actively IW
employed. So far as reconnaissance
goes, it is quite unnecessary to make I]
such demonstrations, and, as to the' p
effect on troops of the small bombs f
that can be thrown from aeroplanes,
it is negligible. The German method
is to keep up a regular system of
areoplane flights, the machines start
ing at regular intervals and making ,
a tour, in which it would almost ap

STORIES OF WAR BY

LONDON—One of the most suc

Army, which formed the left wing of
the Bulgarian forces in the great bat
tle of Lule Burgas on October 29 and

a signal victory over the Turks at
Kirk Kilisse. After the end of the war
he was sent as Ambassador to St.

a step for which he was cast olT by
