BOTH ARHIESIQLO OWN 0111 All Sharp Offensive Move ment of Germans on j West Wing Fails to Break Enemy's Line BATTLE AT RCTXE IS CONTINUING Allies Claim to Have Taken a Large Number of Prisoners at the Latter Place—Rhoims Again Subjected to a Short Bombardment On the Battle iFront via Paris, Oct. 9, 11.41 P. M.—The sharp offensive movement of the Germa.ns on the west ern wiug of t'he allies at the (Belgian frontier evidently 'has failed in its ob ject of bending or breaking the French anil British line. T'he 'long extension of iihe Hnittie line 'Which now h«s gone be yond the four rivers, Scarpe, Somine, Oise and Ainse, was initiated by the allies in an endeavor to find a solution of the problem of thrusting the Germans from their strong position in "Northeast ern Prance. In these ; i opi-lions the Ger mans had been 'besieged nearly a month, sin'i*e t'he conclusion of the bloody bat tle of the iMnrne, a frontal attack being considered inexpedient 'by the allies. The present front is within about, sixty-eiph't miles of Antwerp where the Belgians have offered such heroic re sistance to the bo-m.bardiment of the ■heavy Germany artillery. Belgian offi cers who have arrived here from Ant werp. declare that the Belgians them selves destroyed forts Waalbem and Wavre-St. Catherines. Rbeims Again Bombarded Further down toward the center of the line t'he severest fighting continued to-dav at Rove, where the allies took a large number of prisoners. Rhelms again was subjected to a short bombard ment. Tn other parts of the center the op posing forces remain constantly al*»rt. The cannonade has diminished vn inten sity and the allied troops occupying t'he trenches are becoming thoroughly ac customed to the situation. Many of them spend the intervals between the spells of rifle firing reading newspapers to their comrades ibeneaith the bomb-proof j shelters. The allied artillerymen seem inde fatigable. relying with vigor when ever a Gorman cannon opens fire. The men throw themselves on the ground when they 'hear the noise of the enemy's and consequently the casualties in the section are few. Everybody at High Tension At. night everybody is at high ten sion and few noises are heard. An oc casional dull signal lamp or a lantens with its light .turned away from the Herman lines indicates the number of a brigade or a division occupying the position and permits of the rare dis patch of a rider on a motorcycle to find his wav along the rear to the com manding officers. All nround t'he air is full of dirt and sand thrown tin <bv the "hell* while the odor from the explosive is intense. The French and Germans still gen erally utilize bugle calls and when these are heard searchlights immediate ly are flashed on I .'. The British com mands. however, are whispered along the tren -hes from mouth to mouth so that even in the silence of the night no sound reaches the ears of the Ger mans in their trenches not so far awsv and no indication is given of any rrn posed rovVment or attack, until it is in full swing. On the eastren wing the fighting is still verv fierce around Sr. M : hie! with manv r'v. t a'it" *fcs.

MITH US PERSONIFIED IN DRAMA "EVERYWOM" Conceived by a genius, the life work of a man who died in the moment when success for which he had toiled nearly twenty years was about to be his, the dramatic spectacle, " Every woman," possesses a most unusual interest' for the theatregoer as well as the indivij- V J» J » ttal who is seldom seen in a playhouse. As a study it links the present-day drama to the play when it was in its infancy, when it was little more than WELCOME FIREMEN! Don't delay, as this free Hi Suit Or this convention.

Savage's production ot' | the morality play, which is presented upon an opulent scale that dwarfs even the largest modern productions, will be j disclosed at the Majestic theatre Mon-; lay afternoon and evening. Fashioned after the morality play of the Sixteenth Century, it reta ns bu little more than the form of the ear.y drama. Characters are for gcod or evilj and each one is properly labeled. There j is no mysticism anil no doubt as to the intent of each. The gool are painted in attractive colors and the evils di not for an instant deceive the auditor. Manager Hopkins of the Majestic t theatre is in receipt of a letter franc Rabbi Charley .1. PYeund, of this city recommending to theatregoers the g* gantic play " liverywoman." The let ter is as follows: "Dear Mr. Hopkins:—l red with! much interest the announcement of the production of the mo.leru .morality | play ' Every woman' at the Maje>ti< I theatre in the very near f.iture. Tn I management and the patrons are to b'l congratulated for the great treat thaij is in store Cor them. If ,- v cr the pulpit I had an opportunity to welcome the ctv I operation of the theatre stage to ac-1 centuate its teachings it is by having j all people go to witness the production I of such a play as ' Evervwoman.' I con-! giatulate you for the privilege that you j afford the people of Harrisburg to gei \ the •'uplift - ' from such a wholesome j play Your theatre ought to be filled at both performances. It will be a long time before such a valuable les son will be better conveyed than by such a play as ' liverywoman.
