PAGE TEN 0.1 TROOPS MASSED AT OSTEND TO COMBAT TEUTONS IN NORTH Attempt to Drive Allies' Left Wing Into the North Sea Indicated. CANADIAN CONTINGENT REPORTED AT SEAPORT Official war news is brief today, but •war office statements are not needed to make plain that momentous results hang on the fortunes of battles now being waged at vital points on the line that stretches from Alsace northern France to within 25 miles of the Straits of Dover. The heaviest fighting has been on the line of Lassigny and Lens. Todays official report from Paris says that the allies repulsed German attacks b&» tween Arras and the Oise, and that cavalry engagements continue in the region of La Basse, Estaires and Haze brouck. Special attention is directed to Ostend. There have assembled the greater part of the Belgian arm and about two-thirds of the British forces that escaped from Antwerp. It is lieved that the Germans are pushing forward to attack the city with the hopeps of capturing and using the port in operations against England. A terrific struggle to keep the Gei mans from the coast is inevitable. Reports indicate that the German cavalry advance is about thirty miles from Ostend. The strength of the allies at Ostend is not known. It is possible that Brit ish reinforcements which were unable to reach Antwerp in time to help in Ostend. Still less is knows of the situation in the eastern war zone. Petrograd is silent on recent developments. The Russian war office explains this silen ce on the grounds of strategy. Vienne reports that the Russian at tack of Przemsyl, the strong fortress Jn Austrian Galicia, has failed. Berlin asserts that the Russian advance on the East Prussian frontier has been checked, while the Germans are stead ily working eastward in Russian Po land. Neutral sources report that cholera is spreading in Austria. London Oct. 13.—The whole German front is about to take the offensive again, according to the belief of mili tary strategists yesterday. Attempts by the German forces which captured Antwerp to join with the German right wing in assaults westward toward the coast are expected here to be the sig nal for a general attack on the whole battle line, now extending more than 500 miles. A young son of Mr. vad Mrs. John Lynch at Granville was run down by an automobile and both wheels of the machine passed over his stomach. The boy was only slightly injured in ternally. MeYourMnga Daily Flea,1sure Chief of Police Ernie Swanson and Sheriff H. C. Stenshoel returned last evening from Bismarck where they ac companied some parties who will make their home at the pen for a time. While in Bismarck the officers visited the Exposition and stated that while many of the exhibits are not yet in place that the show is bound to be greater than ever and that the Bis marck people are working hard to get things in shape.

The restlessness of the flat dweller Is a national mystery. Why doea be go forth inevitably in the spring to find another flat and to insert hla fam lly and furniture therein? As likely aa not it is the flat which he abandoned 0ve years before. Sifcce then be has oc cupied four other flats, each a vast Improvement over its predecessor, and he is now delighted with the new flat which he left in disgust flve years be fore. He has spent hundreds of-dol lars in arriving at this stage of hap piness, but he will abandon the flat again next year and flit on in a mov ing van as large as a small chapel. We falter, appalled at the task of dis covering the flat dweller's purpose un til we consider the strangely similar restlessness of the sick man who Ilea on one side until he can't atand it any longer and then, with the asistance of his devoted family, is turned over on the other side. The change is a de lightful relief, although a few houm before he couldn't endure to lie on that side a minute longer. George Fitch in Collier's Weekly. No Place For Ladies. A. famous foreign newspaper corre apondent, a German, was stopping ati a seaside hotel where the dining room helpers, following the New England, custom, were nearly all college girls, working during vacation in order to keep themselves at school the rest of the year. The spectacled young person who pre-1 sided over the table where the German newspaper man ate was undoubtedly ot excellent breeding, but she never seem-! ed to remember whether the eggs were to be fried on one side or scrambled on both. Finally, one evening after be h&6 been served with a meal entirely dlf ferent from the one he had ordered, the foreigner lost his temper and spoke rather sharply to the young woman. "Easy there!" admonished his table mate, an American writer. MShe's a lady, you know, old man." "But I do not vant a lady," said the German plaintively.
