The French claim progress, the Germans are satisfied, while the British are si lent. Germany seems to have entered on bomb throwing expedition and in addition to frightening the people, has wrought some havoc by bombs dropped from air craft. Reports from Pans say that the Germans are continuing their night and day assaults on the columns of the allies, the a tacks being of unprec edented violence but have so far been unsuccessful. From London comes the same re port that th Germans have been driv- back with heavy losses. Petrograd reports that the Rus sians have shelled the heights along Przemysl and that the Germans are retreating in confusion. An official list given out from Ber- n shows the dead, wounded and mis- ng from the German army is 104,- 589. It is officially announce' that the Japanese have defeated the Germans a four-hour battle on the outskirts Tsin-Tau. A German aviator flew over Paris Sunday dropping four bombs. One man was killed and a girl injured, and number of houses damaged. It is thought that the bombs were intenfl- for the wireless station on the iffel tower and the army stores in buildings nearby. TUESDAY ihe othciai press bureau issued a descriptive account of the operation r ranee of the British forces and the French armies in immediate touch with it, communicated by an eye witness present at the headquar ters of Field Marshal Sir John French, This account, which supplements that ssued beptember 24. from general headquarters follows: "September 24. 1914. For four days there has been a comparative lull an along our front. "Advantage has been taken of the arrival of reinforcements to relieve, by iresh troops, the men who have been on the firing line for some time. "Since the last letter left general headquarters, evidence has been re- ceived which points to the fact that during counter attacks on the night ot bunday, the 20th, the German fantry fired into each other as the dangerous expedition of a covering ad vance in the dark. This narrative begins with Sep' tember 21st and covers only two days. Keconnoitering parties sent out dur ing the night of 21-22 discovered some deserted trenches and in them, near them in the woods, more than one hundred dead and wounded were picked up. Rifles, ammunition, and equipment also were found. There were other signs that portions of the enemy's force s had withdrawn for some distance. WEDNESDAY Fighting of the past few days hich took the form of heavy offen sive operations, has not changed to any marked extent the positions of the opposing armies in Northern France. Hard blows have been struck by each side, but the armies remain vinuany wnere mey were wnen me Germans stopped their retirement and entrenched themselves. The official communication issued today by the French general staff makes this plain. The lines of the allies are roughly sketched on the statement, and it is gathered that the trench right rests still on Pont-A Mousson and from there turns south ward to cross the Meuse near Saint Mihiel, where the Germans have push eu a contingent iorwara. Thence . the front proceeds north ward to encircle Verdun, from which fortress it strikes directly westward to Rheims and thence northward across the river Aisne at Berry-Au uao. it ioi lows the Aisne to boisons and runs from there northwestward crossing the river Oise at Ribecourt to Koye, Albert and Combles. The The two latter places are north of the bomme. In the west, the wings are in close touch, the Germans holdincr Lassienv wnicn ues Detwen Kibecourt and Kove whjch are ir. possession of the French and also Chaulnes, which is in an al most direct line between Roye and Amen. It is here that the allies have been attempting a wide turning movement to prevent which the Germans have apparently sent out strong opposing torces. ine rrench announcement says the Germans have continued thei day and night attacks, only to be re pulsed, but it is evident thev are snowing plenty ot nght and are mak ing a supreme effort to prevent the allies from working around their right. North m the Aisne, two well-en trenched armies still face each other, neither making much headway, while in the center, the artillery duel con tinues in the district between the Ar gonne and the Meuse. The French claim slight progress an indication that they are making heavy attacks to compel the Germans to withdraw from St Mihiel where they might bend, if they do not break tne rrench rront The World Receives With Approval His Action in Issuing a Proclama tion Setting Aside Sunday, October Fourth, to be Observed Throughout the United States.

C, Oct. 1 The ac tion of the President in issuing a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to pray for peace in Europe, and setting aside Sunday, Oo tober 4, as a day of prayer, was re ceived with approval by Christian peo- e an over tne world, as well as in our own country. Some of the edito rial expressions from leading papers are given herewith: A NATION ON ITS KNEES By his proclamation, naming Sun day, October 4, as the day of general upphcation, the President, in his own words, has recognized the "especial wish and longing of the people of the United States in prayer and counsel and all friendliness to serve the cause of peace." The purport of the appointment of the day of prayer is felictously stated by the President "to take action which shall prove conducive to that con cord among men and nations without hich there can be neither happiness nor true friendship nor any whole some fruit of toil or thought in the world." His effort for the world's peace was shown in his attitude in the patient gu ne kept in every exasperating circumstance to maintain a benevolent aloofness toward the combatants in Mexico. Some of those, who, at the time, wanted belligerent action have come to a different way of thinking, they nave read uie tale told in Eu rope from one hideous day to another. It must stir even the consciences of the war-makers and the fire-bringers to know that thousands of miles away nation is on its knees in 'prayer that the peace of God which passeth under standing may once more prevail. Philadelphia Public Ledger (Rep.). w w THE DAY OF PRAYER President Wilson's proclamation calling for a national day of prayer. on October 4 for the cessation of war in Europe probably is without pre cedent in this or any other country. But, if so, it is not the most beautiful precedent that has ever been set in any nation, lhere are prayers for peace in our prayerbooks, and days of prayer for the speedy termination of wars have been often fixed by official proclamation in countries engaged in them; but for a neutral nation of more than 90,000,000 of people to get. on its knees and pray for peace in other countries will be one of the most impressive, as well as one of the most unusual, spectacles ever present ed on earth. We believe everybody in the United States will offer up a pray er on that day in the earnest spirit of altruism, which President's message suggests. And if anything can make a path for peace "where men can see- none, we believe unselfish supplica tion from- the heart of a great country can open tne aoor or divine compas sion. ine Baltimore bun. GOOD SENSE The sentiments expressed in Mr. Wilson's letter to Mr. Doremus will meet with universal approval. The- good sense and patriotism of his de cision are apparent. New York Sun (Ind.). GOD-FEARING AMERICANS By proclamation, President Wilson names October 4 as a day on which God-fearing Americans are to pray for the rectoration of peace in Eu rope. That his appeal will have a gen eral and fervent response is not to be doubted, lhat this is to be taken as the beginning of a effort at medita tion is reported in Washington, but it is the kind of effort which can hardly obtain diplomatic recognition. Never theless the many millions of church people in the United States can offer up their prayers for peace in all sin cerity. Peace is earnestly desired by the whole nation. New York Times; (Ind.). DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reacn tne diseased portio.i of tne ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional treatment, ness, and that f,A, remedies. Deafness is caused by an nflamed condition of the mucuous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumb ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the resul, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition' of the mucuous surfaces.
