GERMANS HURLED BACK BY FRENCH MOVEMENT [Continued From First Pago.] reached the destroyed telegraph line to the north of Thelus, has not as a matter of fact, passed the orchards of T,a Folie and the highway from Arras to Lille. This advance, however, has been at all points maintained. "Along the front to the south of the River Sonime there has been lighting with bombs and torpedoes in the vicinity of Andrechy. Our artillerv lias vigorously counter-attacked the! batteries of the enemy which were cannonading our positions at Quenne-i vieres. "In the Champagne district the fighting has been going on with tenacity all along the front. We have occupied at several places, notably at Trou Bricot, to the north of the Wacques farm, several positions* in the rear of our new lines where cer tain detachments of the enemy had been able to maintain themselves. "The previous statement that we had captured 200 German officers is I erroneous; we have taken prisoner 300 German officers in the Champagne dis trict. "Between the Meuse and the Moselle and in the Lorraine district there has been severe artillery fighting on both sides. "A violent storm in the Vosges has! for the moment suspended all opera tions in this district." Bigger Gains in Two Days Than in Preceding 12 Mos. By Associated Press London. Sept. 27, 1:20 p. m.' — In two days the French and British have gained greater results lhan in the pre ceding 12 months of fighting since the battle of the Marne. With upwards of 20,000 German prisoners in their ■hands and something like 30 guns, without counting machine guns, and with a formidable breach in the Ger man line, the allies apparently have their long expected offensive move ment well under way. The advance lias been general and Its effect is em phasized by the fact that on the east ern front a substantial gain for the Russians Is recorded. Petrograd states that the army of General Ivanoff has won a striking victory over the Germans and Aus trians in the southeastern theater, where 1,000 prisoners arc said to have been taken. The Belgians also are taking a prominent, part in the new offensive movement. Their '.llcial announce ment reports the capture of a German post on the right bank of the Yser, with the consequent evacuation by the Germans of adjoining trenches. It is believed in London that the new move in the west, will again bring the Germans face to face with the necessity of making a choice between the two fronts, as was the case earlier in the war. Military writers point out that the Russians are now holding the Austrlans and Germans on a front of 700 miles, while the presence of nearly 2.000,000 strongly entrenched Ger mans has failed to prevent an advance in France. This, they say, must In crease the perplexities of the German general staff and react immediately on any plans which may have been form ed for new attacks in the south and southeast district. "Between the Meuse and the Moselle and in the Lorraine district there has been severe artlllry fighting on both sides. "A violent storm in the Vosges has for the moment suspended all opera tions in this district." Twenty Minutes Required to Give French Victory Paris. Sept. 27, 11 a. m.—Reports from the front say that only twenty minutes were required for the French infantry to complete the victory, pre pared for by sixty hours of violent shelling, and overrun the first line of the German trenches north of Perthes Champagne. While awaiting the moment, for the attack the French soldiers rested behind their lines, Jok ing and putting their arms in perfect order. The bright glow from the slow burn ing illuminating rockets and the glare of exploding projectiles lighted up the entire none of action during two nights. "After a few hours of intense fire, our hopes that our batteries were dom inating the situation were transformed to certain conviction," says a wounded officer who took part in the battle. "The moment of the attack was sen for dawn. When the charge was sounded whole battalions, reinforced by reserves, bounded forward. The rush was so Impetuous that the Ger mans still alive and unwoimded In the battered works seemed dazed and un able to resist. They were disarmed end pushed back for our reserves to pick up, while the attacking line went on. "There was little or no musketry. The bayonet did most of the work. The proportion of dead and wounded and prisoners was large.

PRUDISH PARENTS GIVEN POINTERS Dr. Dixon Says That They Should Take Children Into Their Confidence x Parents wlio have pot the nerve to tell their children what they ought to know are rapped by Commissioner of Health Samuel G. Dixon in a health talk. The commissioner says that common sense should rule. This is the way he puts it: "There are certain stages in the life of every boy and girl when the confidence and advice of the father and mother may prove of Inestimable \alue. If parents have not cultivated a relationship with their children which will enable them to discuss the problems which budding manhood and womanhood bring, they have fallen far short of doing their duty. "The evasions, lies and prudish atti tude of parents has been responsible for mistakes which have resulted in agony of soul anl body for innumer able growing boys and girls. "There is no period In life when children are more sensitive to in fluences for good and evil than in this formative stage. It is not fair to ex. pect your children to come to you with those things which they are perfectly well aware you have avoided discuss ing In every possible way. They will accept and seek Information from other sources if they cannot, get it from their parents; the chances are a hundred to one that what they get will be misinformation and the injurious lies of companions with a distorted moral code. "If you do not feel competent to discuss these matters with your chil dren in a manner which will give them a thorough and full understanding of the responsibilities and functions of manhood and womanhood, it is better to admit it anl arrange to have your family physician talk the matter over with them fully. "This is far from being as satis factory, however, as being yourself fully Informed regarding the problems which your children have to solve and encouraging them to come to you with the doubts and questions which they are certain to have. * "Ignorance by no means implios in nocence. Confidence and earnest higli mindedness alone will beget their like from your children. If you never dis cuss the problems of sex which every healthy boy and girl has forced upon them by nature, you may be certain thpy will return the reticence in kind. Tliey are certain to seek information somewhere. Tf you do not give them the truth frankly and willingly they will accept what they can pick up from questionable sources." OBPEBMAN & CO. WIN SUIT William H. Opperman & Co., which built the River Front interceptor, is not liable for the $450 claim for in surance in the big drain demanded by the Commonwealth Insurance agency.
