Twenty tbcasand un bounded German prisoners and an uneatjmatsd nomter of dead and wounded bn; both sides is the Mistaken in. the first two days drive of the-Auglo-Franoh forces who have begun a great offensive movement along the western bst tie line, whioh extends from the Narth Sea to the Swi frontier. Two distinctive operations are under way, one north of Arras and the other in the Champagne r?gidn, while there has been an incessant bombardment along al most the entire front Both the British and French have been sucoettfal, carrying trenches extending over a distance of 20 miles and a depth varying up co two and a halt miles. It is officially reported both from Paris and London t&at the advauoe is still beiug continued, and that the ground gained in a large measure has been held and con solidated. Berlin admits the retirement of the German forces at various points, but minimises the result of the engagements. For several weeks British and French artillery have been pound ing fiercely and continuously at the German line. The forward movement of the infantry began Saturday morning whenihousands of allied troops threw themselves against the German trenohes, in whioh, though battered and torn by heavy shells, the Germans waited, having long expected the onslaught. Much of the fiqrhtiug was at close range, hand1 to hand encounters being oarri 3d from trench to trench. The heavy ar tillery' continued to pour fourth a rain of heavy projeotiles, while aviators took the air to direct the fighting and themselves engaged in many combats. Iu addition to heving captured Souchez, a much disputed point of vantage, the French have suc ceeded iu forcing a passage of the great series of trenohes and forti fications in Champagne between Auberive and Ville-sur-Tourbe, driving the Germans to the second line . of trencheB, two are three miles to the rear. This offensive is still in progress. The British gains have been mida to the north of Arras. They have taken the town of Loos and the qnarries northwest of Hnlluch, and have compelled the Germans to draw on their reserves to check the advance. For the time being the dramatic development of events in the west have overshadowed those in the eastern theater, where the Rus sians have stayed the progress of the Austro-Germans at many points, and have apparently suc ceeded in getting themselves well in hand for farther offensive and defensive operations. The quick answers of Greece to Bulgarian mobhzition has prob ably been a factor in clearing the atmosphere with respect to Bul garia's intentions. The Bulgarian Government has notified the Pow ers that the mobilization of the national interests and that it was not intended as an cffensive meas ure. Individual members of the Bulgarian government also have expressed themselves to the same effect. Nevertheless both Greece and Roumania continue 'to make ready for any eventuality.

New York, Sept. 26. A statf- meut ocnfirmiua the massacre of Armuisns in Turkey was given out here today by Professor Sam uel T. Dutton. secretary of the committee on Armenian atroci ties, formed for the purpose Cf in vestigating the faots regarding the maaHaore. The statement in part says: A sab-oommittee has thorough, ly investigated the evidence and has just made a report to the fu l committee, confirming in every particular the statement recently made by Viacount Bryoe rfgard- ing the imprisonment, torture, murder, massacre and exile into the deserts of northern Arabia of defenseless and innooent Armen ians, including deorepit men, women and ohildren and their for cible sonverticn to Islam. 'Written testimonies of eye witnesses have been exmii ed with utmost care. The witnesses ex amined included Armenians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Italians, Ger mans, lurks, Englishmen, Amer icans, business men, travelers and officials of great variety and rank. Not a single statement can be questioned as to the faots report ed. These all agree in the declar ations that from Smyrna on the west to Persia and from the Blaok Sea to Arabia propaganda of ex termination for non-Moslems is beiug carried on by the . -Turkish Government, far surpassing in fe rocity and exoeeding in destrno tion anything done by Aidnl Hamid during his long career ot massacre and extermination."

Haitian 63iernnient Approved- Washington, Sept 17. Formal recognition has been accorded by the United States to the new gov ernment i:i Haiti, headed by President d'Artigoeuave. Charge Davis, of the American Legation at Port au Prmco, ca bled the State Department late to day that be bad conveyed notice of recognition to the Haitien Government at 8 o'clock list night. At the same time Rear Admiral Caperton, commanding the naval expenditionary force on the island, reported to the N&vy Department that he had exchang ed national salutes with the Port au Prince shore batteries and oalled with his staff upon Presi dent d' Artiguenave. This action whioh will materi ally strengthen the position of the existing government, is in line with the intention, of the Wash ington administration to negotiate a treaty by whioh the United States will assume a virtual pro tectorate over Hiti, supervising her financial and police adminis trations. The treaty is now be fore the Haitien Congress for rati-' fixation and its negotiation could not be completed without reoog nition of the government. Health and Hapjklnes Depends Upon Your Liver.

The following facts ooiicemipg a Michigan girl and the House , of the Good Shepherd la Detroit, should start a wave of opposition which- should soon sweep these infamous prisons fr'6m the face of VEe earth. -. Ruth was an unfortunate girl, she had a good mother but never kuew her father. When Ruth was fivb months of age her mother found it necessary to seek a home for her among strangers. Mr. audMrs E. H Kynett, membars of, the "Seventh Dav AdventiBts church, Agave Rath a home. When Ruth was about twelve years of age, Mr. Kynett died. f As au evidence of his love for her and au interest in her future he made a hberial provision, by will, for her education. Iu order that Ruth! s interests and life might be fully guarded. Mr. Ky nett took out adoption papers un der the laws of Florida, and was also appointed by the court as Ruth's guardian. Later, ate with the girl moved to Battle Creek, Miohigau. Ruth was then sent to the Adventists Seminary at Holly, Michigan. During the first term of sohcol she seemed happy and contented. In the beginning of the seoond term she became, associated with some reckless gi'rj andran away from school. . An officer Joand her in Pontiaa and took her to the police headquarters iu Battle Creek. She was placed in the cuitody of the matron. When her imbther called for her. she was informed that a charge of deliu- qurnoy the girl and that some legal pro cedure was neoeaiary. Judge . Poitar of Marshall, Mioh., oalled W. K. Kellog, of 'Corn Flake" fame into oonsuK tation. Mr. Kellog agreed to aot as special probation officer for Rath for a period of three yean. He advised sending her to the Methodist Seminary of Aurora, 111., and agresd to pay. her expen ses. All investigation convinced Mrs. Kynett that the school was all right and she consented to the arrangement. Mr. Kellog per sonally accompanied the girl to Aurora. He stopped on the way at Marshal Fields in Chicago, and purchased clothing for Ruth to the amcuut of one hundred dol lars. He did this regardless of the faot that according to the mother a testimony, hr clothing was sufficient a ad satisfactory. Ruth had been in the Methodist school only a short time when without any apparent reasou she was secretly brought to Battle Creek; hidden by Mr. Kellog from her mother and then secretely taken to the Home of the Good Shephfrd in Detroit, where she is at the present time. The above faots were furnished the writer by Mrs Kynett with the urgent request that we employ any means necessary to secure the' release of Ruth. We found by investigation that a little more than three years ago she wrote letters-to relatives, begging them to secure her. release, from the Catholio institution. Iu one letter written shortly after s she had been taken there, she stated that if she had been sent there for penanoe she had al ready done her share. In the same letter she stated that Mr. Kellog didn't seem to care for her anymore. At . the present ,Jtime, strange and unbelievable as it may seem, Ruth is a deyout Catholio and re fuses to leave the institution, hav ing fully decided she says to be oxme a member vpf the order of "kagdalenes." Her mother has visited, her recently and had the privilege of talking with her through the bars. The writer in company with several men recently visited the House of Good Shepherd .

Iu theii excitement they laid the papers on the stand near us. Since we are firm believers in " the nublio investigation of " the . things the we maae a nasty investigation of said pipers. We found two very interesting things: first that JudgD Porter had appointed Killcg a special probation officer for Rath for a period of three years The three years having expired in July last of the present year. The eeoond thing is this: we fouud among those private papers, pub licly exposed to- the gaze of here tics a letter written by W. K. Kellog to a Father Burke of De troit just before Ruth was taken thera iu which letter these are significant words: "Ruth stood well in her studies and in deport ment in the Aurora school." It is hard to harmonize these words with things Ruth wrote re latives just after going to the House of Good Shepherd. In her letter she informed them that she understood she had been sent there because of some serious physical condition and that Mr. Kellog told her she would only have to stay a few weeks. The above statements, especial ly those of Mr. Kellog's, suggest some very pertinent questions. If Ruth stood well in her studies and deportment in the. Methodist sohool, why was she taken from it to a Roman Catholio prison? If her deportment was good, what was the meaning of her physidal condition which oalled for her isolation from sooiety? Recently Mr. Kellog wrote a Knights of Oolumbas Committee on religious prejudice, explaining his altitude toward the Roman Catholic church. His letter was published in the Citizen. We are sure that readers of The Menace would be glad to read his sxpla nation of his connection with the Ruth Kynett case. au uuuuiunuu, parnaps we should state that Mrs. Kynett is still Ruth's only legal guardian aad the fight between Rome and the motner of Ruth has just be guu. We realize that Rome, W. K. Kellog & Co., are on one side of the question, but God aud. hu manity are on the other side In a future issue we will pub lish the story of a girl just rescued from the Hoase of the, Good Shenl herd in Detroit. : Invigorating to, the Pale, and SiclOx The Old Standard general strengthening toni GROVE'S TASTEUSS-TtNtC,drive3 w Malria.enrichei the hlootL linitdB 'n tVn. tt A tru Tonic For dult 4od chilW. w 3S, Aoila-Fracl.fc're.iCOiiG 1 .
