London Papers Print Sad) Reports With The
Qualification "his Said"
GREAT TURNING MOVEMENT DEVELOPING IN BEL
CttUM MYSTIFIES THE CRITICS.
Desperate Efforts of ASIm to Stop German Advanoe on Dun
kirk Reported to be Masting With Temporary Snooeu;
Naval Engagement in the Baltic and Other European War
Developments.
London, Oct. 21.?10:05 a. m.?An engagement between $er
man torpedo boats and hostile submarines in the Baltic ner
Rugen Island, off the Prussian coast, is reported from Stock
holm, according to a Central News despatch from Copenhagen.
No details of thefight or its results are given.
Rome, Oct. 21.-10:35 p. m?Late news from the Adriatic
is. to the effect that the bombardment of Cattaro Dalmatia,
continues with, great violence. v
London, Oct 21.-r-10:10 a. m.?A comparison' o? the official
rejjorts from Paris and Berlin leads to the conclusion that all
the western battle front in France and Belgium the Germans
resumed the offensive, but with their supreme, directed against
the Allies' left. . ?
The news supplementing these official communications, how
ever, indicate that on the left at least the Allies are not acting
merely on the defensive.
The great turning movement is undoubtedly developing
through the corner of Belgium bounded by France and the sea,
but the public remains in a haze as to whether the turning
movement is one on the part of the Allies to get around the
German right flank or a German operation to envelope the
Allies' left.
The impression grows that the G< rmans are determined to
add Dun Kirk to the. line_of seaports now held along the Bel
gian coast and the Allies are making desperate efforts to hurl
back the invaders. Late reports through Dutch sources de
clare that the Germans have been repulsed six miles from Os
tend and that guns are now Beard near that city. Other late
reports which lack confirmation, state that the Germans have
abandoned Bruges. If these reports are true it would indicate
that the Allies are meeting with some success in their efforts to
re-oeeupy the seacoast. "f. ? _
The movements along the coast continue-to be more or. less
in the nature of reconnaisance mavements, while the aim of th<?
fighting on the allies' left center Lilfe, which is because its
railroad and highways connections are of vital strategic im
portance to the Germans. From Lille two roads run out to the
west?one northornly to Armontioros, and tho other southernly
to Fournes, through a country whjch' is enclosed and thickly
populated. , ! , , * . . J. . J
The Fpeffoh statement-contents itself with'.the assertion that
these -r6ada areheld by ttroag forces of Germans while the
Berlin, communicatibn claims a victory on them. Operations
along thdse roads may also be a reconnaissance mavement,
checked by theGermans, but all reports agree that the Ger
man resistance at Lille continues tcube-of the most stubborn
nature. ' ,
Op the Vistula River.
? Onlythemost meagre reports arrive/from the eastern war
area, but it is clear {hat the ffeuSBians ajfe least holding their
own. Both, sides are.evejJUy entrenched,; ..and the Vistula
river region promisee to be^titai^ anof^fer .battle of the Aisne.
The allies console mefciiBelves for'eSap^ Bifflsian withdrawal
from western Galicia, and the advanced positions i near the
Russian-Polish border by" the belief that the Germans, having
committed themselves to aa^nvasiom of BWssian-Poland, will
not be likely to send reinforcements to the armies in the west
as could have been th case if the Russians had suffered a g via. t
reverse nearer the German frontier. /
- Csar's Ukas Against Vodka.
Outside of the purely military operations, interest centers
in the Russian Emperor's Ulkase against Vodka and the efforts
being made to carefor the Belgians still in their own oountry
and to feed and to re^atpate those who have taken refuge in
other countries. Berlin states that no obstacles will be placed
in (he way of this necessary work, but at the same time claims
that^tarmany has done^all possible in view oE military exeglen
ciefi, to repeve the distress in Belgium.
Patriotio Britons today are making a mecca Of Lord Nelson's

Although the weather kept away the
larger part of the crowd and broke
Into the program of the day In other
ways, Friday was a day long to be
remembered by the cltltcns of the
neighborhood of New Hope. It was
the occasion of a joint picnic and ral
ly of tke Fanner's Union, Junior Or
der, Sunday school'and Education and
was a day of much interest and bene
fit Amidst most excellent music fur
nished'by the New Hope choir, whose
ability In fts capacity Is envied by
many, the exercises began with Mr. J.
B. King as master of the ceremonies
a man who Iras fully capable of .meet
ing the requirements of this Import
ant part. He introduced the speakers
who were Mr. J. M. King*, Of Raletgh,
who spoke on Sunday- school work
and whose address was well prepared
and appreciateivoly received Mr. W. R
Rodgers, in behalf of the Junior Or
der. Mr. T. J. Harris, President of
the Franklin connty Fanner's Union,
whose enthusiasm for this splendid
organisation brought forth a strong
and forceful address, and lastly Supt.
E. L. Best In behalf of the County
schools. Supt. Best's subject was
"the relation between the teacher and
patron." It was a splendid subject
and was well handled. He made
many ways clear how to Increase the
confldepce of each in the other and
polhtod out the real benefit of lncreas
ing and uniting the work of the com
munity along this line. He said by
its proper tihe benefits would
branch out la all directions" and there
would ~be no .end'to its accomplish
ments. ?> ; 'V
After the exercises a bountiful din
ner' was spread and all present
partook of a most enjoyable repast.
There was plenty and much to spare
as it had bees prepared for a day of
pretty weather when a larger number
of visitors would have been present,'
The schools started at New Hope on
Monday with both teachers present
and a good attendance of pupils.

Among the many splendid achieve

since they rescued the Government
from the hand, of the "predatory
Plundering classes." In the language
of Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Bailey recited
the currency reform. When the pres- ,

years ago, a few men on Wall street
could Ue up every penny of surplus

ton school teacher's rare learning to
the art of government and his quick
response to heeds of the people rather
thaa.to the desires of the money len

But not only has the currency re
form been brought about and the tax
ing power of the nation changed from
a means of protection to private en
terprises to a means of governmental
support only, but a wonderful chance
in the character of the men at the
head of the government has been
wrought The Southern men, sol Ion?

As the children of Israel carried

they left Egypt, the land of bondage,
so. after fifty years, the Democrat!?
Party has brought the marrow of the

Referring to State lsauea Mr. Bailor
