The German Advance Near Lille is Repulsed. Paris Repor's Violent Action on Both Flanks. The battle line in the western war! gone is now practically continuous from upper Alsace to Antwerp. French bulletins report that cavalry of the allies is engaged as far north as Arimentieres, on the Belgian bor der, and violent fighting is reported "in west and east Flanders. The great gap between the forces operating on the Somme and Aisne and those at Antwerp has thus been closed, and the two campaigns be come practically one; the defeat of the Germans in northern France will mean the relief of Anuwerp, while a German victory at Antwerp would be likely to influence greatly the battle in northern France. An official bulletin issued in Lon- don states that hard fighting is in progress north of the river Oise and at Lens, twenty miles south of the Belgian border. A night bulletin from the Paris war office adds that German attacks have been repulsed on the right and left wings and that ground previously lost between Chaulnes and Roye hav been regained. An advance in the center is also announced. Berlin states officially that the fighting of the German army on its right wing has been successful, but that no decision has been reached in the counter attacks along the line of Arras, Albert and Roye. The bulletins follow: LONDON. “North of the Oise and at Lens, nine miles northeast of Arras, there is bard fighting. “Elsewhere a slight advance or re- treat varies. Throughout the line the reports are generally satisfactory. “The French army is fighting with the greatest dash and bravery.” PARIS. “Except on the two wings where the German attacks have been repuls- ed there has been nearly complete calm along the front. “On our left wing the German cav- alry has been held in check; to the north of Lille it has been driven back. “Between Chaulnes (midway be- tween St. Quentin and Amiens) and Roye the ground previously ceded has been retaken. “On the center we have made an advance on certain points. “There is nothing to report on our right wing.” An earlier report said: “On our left wing the battle still continues with great violence. The opposing fronts extend into the re- gion between Lens (nine miles north- east of Arras) and La Bassee (thir- teen miles southwest of Lille) and are being lengthened by masses of cavalry which are in grips:as far as. the vicinity of Armentieres (nine miles northwast of Lille and virtualiy on the Belgian frontier). “On the front extending from the Somme to the Meuse there is nothing to report. “In the Woevre district the enemy made a new effort to stop our pro- gress, but his attacks again failed.” BERLIN. The German general staff, in its re- port on the situation in the western arena of the war said the fighting on the German right wing in France had been successful. A communication says: “Continuous French outflanking movements against our right wing have extended the battle front until it is now north of Arras, west of Lille and west of Lens (nine miles north- east of Arras). Our advance guards are in touch with the enemy’s cav- alry. “No decision yet has been reached in our counter attacks along the line between Arras, Albert and Roye. “The situation remains unchanged along the battle front between the Oise and the Meuse in the vicinity of Verdun and in Alsace-Lorraine.” Half a million men are engaged in the great double flanking movement in northeastern France, with the Ger- mans pressing forward in an effort to cut off and surround the French troops near Arras and Douai. This - enterprise, which began last week, is being pushed with the utmost vigor by the invaders. The allies were evi- dently taken by surprise, because they thougth the Germans did not have enough reserve troops for such an aw dacious attempt. The new German army, which has been pushed northward from Belgium, holds a strong position northwest of Lille. A part of the advanced lines stretches as far as Ypres, which is ‘only a little more than twenty miles from the coast of the English chan: nel. The end of the great battle of the Aisne, which has been raging for the past twenty-five days, is not yet at hand. Despite the constant fighting and shifting of activities, the main lines of both armies are still intact and the doughty German commander on the German right, General Von Kluck, seems absolutely determined to follow the instructions of the kai ser “to win or die trying.” Attacks and counter attacks are still in progress along the heights of the Meuse, where both French and Germans have claimed successes. However, nothing decisive has devel opel in that quarter. In the center there has been a lull. Although the German army of General Von Buelow has been weakened to strengthen the right flank, the position of the invad ers in that region is too strong te permit of a general assault by the -French. .| dition is critical. 1 The British are fighting gallantly: Armies Clash in against the Germans north of Sois sons, and it has been mainly throuzh their courage and fighting ability thati the Germans lost good positions. Large numbers of British wounde! have - been brought to Paris siace; Sunday. The English soldiers were! exposed to a deadly rifle and maching| gun fire when they moved forward ta storm the German redoubts. Within | the past twenty-four hours two Enz! lish generals were brought from the front seriously wounded. i | Kills Neighbor For Bear. ’ Mistaken for a bear, Prince Lilly, a young farmer, was shot and almost ia | stantly killed with a shotgun loaded with large buckshot, by David Reid, a| neighbor and aged Confederate vet ! eran, on Richland mountain, near | Winchester, Va. i Lilly was in a tree, shaking down chestnuts. He wore a long coat, eolor. ed like bearskin. Taking deliberate aim from thirty yards away, Reid; fired, the entire load going clear | through Lilly’s body. He uttered an agonizing cry, fell and died in twenty minutes. : In his remorse Reid endeavored tc | shoot himself, but was prevented by a| relatiev of lilly, who came upon the! scene just in time. The aged veteran | has since collapsed. Both men were in the mountains for chestnuts and] neither knew of the other’s presence. ! r Blinded by Belgian Girl. “A German officer whose eyes hail been gouged out told me that a Bel | gian girl, not more than eighteen| years old, had committed the deed | while he lay. helplessly wounded on the battlefield,” declared Dr. Yoshi: | kazu Matsuda, a Japanese physician, who arrived in New York on the liner | Vaderland, from Munich, where he] had worked in the hospitals caring | for many of the German wounded. “Another of the wounded German' officers told me that of 1254 men un | der his command before Liege, 93! | were killed outright in the first as: savlt,” added. Dr. Matsuda. | Four Slain at Crossing. Four persons were instantly killed at Singerly station when a Baltimore & Ohio train struck an automobile driven by Haines Harlan, of Provi: dence, Md.

His co.i The car, driven by Harlan, ran on the track in front of the train, which threw it in front of the eastbound ex tra freight. The car was demolished, and Mrs. Harlan and he: ¢hildren and the servant were killed instantly. Six Months’ War, $17,500,000,000. That the Ruropean war will cost the world $17,600,000,000 if it lasts six months is ‘the -declaration of Yves Guyot, economist and former cabinet minister, in the Paris Figaro. Paul Leroy Beaulieu, another French economist, says public loans that will be necessary after the war will amount to $8,000,000,000. Europe will; look to the United States to provide] it with money. ! “Germany will probably have to| pay an indemnity of $4,00,000,000 to, $5,000,000,000, says M. Beaulieu. This! she could do merely by taxing alcohol and tobacco.” Monticello’s Price $500,000. Representative Levy, of New York, notified Secretary of State Bryan that he owuld sell Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, to the government for $500,000. “T feel that I am forced to yield to public sentiment in this mater,” Mr. Levy told the secretary, “and I will consent to part with the property for $500,000, despite the fact that I have] spent over a million dollars in im- provements upon it. The only condi tions I have to make is that Monticello be known and used as the ‘Virginia Home of the Presidents.” Kills - Two Little Girls. While they were sleeping, Mary Lentz, eight years old, and Beulan Lentz, four years old, were shot to death by their father, James F. Lentz, at their home in Baltimore. Lentz then shot and killed himself. The mother and the three remain: ing children escaped in their night clothes. Mrs. Lentz said that her hus. band had been very quarrelsome for several months and had frequently threatened to kill the entire family. Lawyer Leaps to Death. Philip K.

German Forces Reinforced Austriar Army and Engaged Russians ai Epatow, Near Cracow. General Von Hindenberg, the Ger man strategist, who formerly com manded the German forces in the oNrth Prussian campaign, is directing the Austro-German forces in a big | battle believed to be in progress neal Opatow, Russian Poland. Opatow is about seventy-five miler northeast of Cracow, and the news o: this engagement substantiates pre vious reports that the Dual Alliance had sent an army into Russian Polanc | to met the Russian army which hac | for its objective the invasion of Ger many. 3 The Austrians fought the firsi' | stages of the battle at Opatow alone | but they were hard pressed and Gen ; eral Von Hindenberg hastened tc. their aid with heavy reinforcements. The opposing armies are drawn ul on the spurs of the Lysagory moun tains, and it is at this point that the. paign of the war will probably be The Russians are throwing large detachments of their central army in to the breach at Opatow. This central army is composed of the flower of the czar’'s fighting forces and numbers more than a million men. Opatow is less than 125 miles from Sedletz, where the czar is reported tc of his army. The German forces on the frontier of East Prussia have assumed a stra | tegic defensive movement. They have! abandoned the bombardment of Os, | sowetz fortress, in Russian .Poland | after setting the city of Ossowetz ot fire with their shells. They were able to retire with thei1 i siege guns and a2 pontoon train. They destroyed the railroad on the fron tier and now are holding in check su’ perior forces from heavily entrenche¢ | positions near Drostken. i The fighting at Augustowo and Su walki was most sanguinary. The Ger man machine guns finally turned the scale of battle in favor of the Ger’ mans, but the slaughter of the Ger man artillerymen was terrific. One German battery lost all its men, and cavalrymen had to be drafted to serve the guns. Russian troops have captured sev eral of the German positions betweer Lyck and Wirballen at the point of the bayonet, it was announced at the war office in Petrograd, but the Ger | mans, heavily reinforced, are fighting . stubbornly at Bakalarzew, just eas! of the Russian frontier. i The Germans have mounted artil ; lery on the heights forming the wes! bank of the Rospuda river, and they | are fighting to hold this position as & defense for Margrobowa, East Prus sia, which is an important point fn the Mazurian line of fortifications.

The British heavy! artillery has been of great help tc! the Belgians. Czar Nicholas arrived at the battle front to inspire his first line soldier: in the onslaught on Cracow, caipia of ancient Poland, where a huge Aus tro-German army has been assemblec to contest the Russian invasion o Germany. It is estimated that 3,000, 000 troops will engage in the battle now opening. Excursion to Washington. 00 SUNDAY EXCURSION $ W Bellefonte. P.M. | Lemont .... 11.29 P.M. Oak Hall... .. 11.34 P.M.
