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. Tie Germans ire

trenches against whMi the a',lies lire
is efteu directed, while the Germans ac

a tract ami the stage the mediumj
through which the religionists of three
centuries ago promulgated their dog [
mas. Henry W. 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. I as-,
sure you that I shall gladly advise all 1
of mv friends to go to see ' Kverv
vvoman.' It contains invaluable lessons
for both men and women.
"•I remain respectfully yours, i

GERMAIN AND RUSSIAN ARMIES OPPOSED ON THE EAST PRUSSIAN FRONTIER.
German official reports admit their defeat at Augustowo and Suwalki, and say their forces have as
sumed a "strategic offensive" on the East Prussian frontier, after having abandoned the Bombardment of
the fortress and burned the city of Ossowez. Russians pursuing themhave reached the frontier and have
again penetrated East Prussia at several points, notably in the direction of Lyck. The Germans have thui
lost all the ground they had gained in their advance to the Niemen River, about fifty miles from the frontier.
