CLOSE TO METZ

^•Persistent Hammering of German Line By Allies Bring Them X1 Within Cannon Range.

DESPERATE FIGHTING OCCUHS

If.

ALL ALONG LINE OF BATTLE

Ik- Important Developments Are Expected Soon Between Rivers Meuse and Moselle, Where yio Operations Continue.

PARIS, Oct. 16.-6:80 a. m.—The steady hammering of the allies on the German left wing of the French bat-

tie front has brought them almost tkS within cannon range of the forts at Metz. In spite of this menace, part of the German crown prince's army hangs doggedly to the positions it has taken on the Meuse near St. Mihiel.

The fighting on this end of the long battle line is said to have been desperate on the part of both sides during the past week, though overshadowed for the time by the operations on the allies' left. More important developments, however, are looked for between the Meuse and the Moselle, while the battle of the four rivers goes on In the west.

In the early days of the war the Germans seemed to have the advantage of the allies in the equipment and handling of machine guns. In this hilly, wooded country the French have shown that they can also use them with great effect. The German rush ^through the Argonne forest, as well as in the hills of Woevre, met with a telling fire of gattling guns from tree tops, where guns were so cleverly concealed that It was impossible to detect them, and every effort to regain lost

ground

cost dearly and failed.

French Hold Route.

The French Alpine contingent distinguished Itself in this rough country. The French are now In possession of the route from Nancy to Metz as far as Dagny on the Lorraine border and menace the route from Verdun to Metz In the neighborhood of Stain, endangering communications of the •crown prince's army with the German fo.rtified camp.

Besides the chausseurs, the One Hundred and Forty-ninth French in'fantry has covered itself with glory.

After taking a village at the point of the bayonet, the infantrymen were obliged to abandon the place because of a murderous artillery fire. They •went back to the attack on the following day, retook the village and held it In spite of a continual bombardment

An entire German brigade was sent to dislodge them, but the One Hundred ly- and Forty-ninth held the position, Inflicting a stinging defeat on their assailants and taking 160 prisoners.

Village Is Taken.

At another solidly entrenched village the same regiment swept determinedly forward, digging in step by step until they got right up to the trenches of the enemy, which they carried gallantly at the point of the bayonet, thus gaining- a point they needed for the sup.port of the entire army. For this exploit the regiment has been named in orders.

Alsace continues also the scene of daily struggles for the possession of ipolnts of vantage, the result of which It is difficult to ascertain, as fortunes .vary so rapidly. Towns are taken and iretaken repeatedly. The heavy flghtlng In the southern end of the battle Jine Indicates that the Germans have profited by the weakening of the French forces to regain the ground they had it -lost there.

NOTE INTENDED AS SCARE?

Woman Who Wrote Farewell to Famlly Found on Street. Mrs. Jesse Barker, 105 Osborne street, who left a note on her dresser Thursday afternoon that led her relatives to bel!eive that she had left home to commit suicide, was found on the streets late Thursday evening by relatives, who had been searching for her. Mrs. Barker did not attempt to explain the note. The police believe she became piqued at her husband after the quarrel her son said had taken place in the morning, and left the note to frighten her husband when he came hcane Trom •work. The woman's son, Otha Miller, found the note and took It to police headquarters and asked the police to search for his mother.

An Unusual Combination

Not often do you find a store offering the Correct Millinery Styles coupled with Moderate Prices. Usually where you find one the other is absent

If a millinery store has Hats which are truly chic and up-to-the-minute they generally sell them on a large margin of profit, and if it is a store where .• low prices are in evidence, you ordinarily find the prevailing vogues a second consideration.

We have proven that it is possible to couple really good Millinery styles with Moderate Prices. Our mammoth stock of the latest creations in Millinery embraces all that is new and stylish, yet -J our prices are away below the average.

One of the reasons why we can do this is because we are an absolutely one-price millinery store. We do not depend upon the liberal customers of the early season to pay for our losses during the "Sales Season." *.
