Movement of the Teutons Will Prove A Failure '' VJ-rr' THEIR ATTACK SHIFTED FROM THE NORTH Ypres Front Expected to Be the Storm Center of the Fighting for a Time PARIS, Nov. 3 Confidence is grow ing here that the latent offensive move ment of the Germans in Belgium whereby they pj&ije gain a clear route to the French cjtinnel ports will fail. All reports Ijre'that the Allies have successfulfy -withstood repeated and violent attacks. The official 'statement of the Belgian general staff mdicjaes a shift in the scene of the' German attack from the north coast, where they fought so hard and stubbornly to the vicinity of Ypres. This region it is declared, already has been the sceije of yiolent attacks and counter-attacks ' in which both sides lost heavily. The expectation here is that the Ypres front now" will be the storm center of the .fighting, for a time at least, as the German objective appears to be the route to Saint Omer, in the department of Pascalais, twenty-two miles southeast of the port of Calais, Ihe news ot the trench success around Ste. Matie-Aux-Mines and St. Die, in the VjBges region, was eager ly received hee. The developments in this quarter assured the French of a solid position in a difficult region where, it is expected, they will win a greater success. President Poincare's visit to the battlefield in West Flanders where, at Furnes, while practically under fire, he -and King Albert of Belgium reviewed the French and Belgian troops, caused some fears for his safety, but also admiration for his bravery. The President and Belgian King, together with the French Minister of War, Alexandre Millerand, reviewed the troops from the town hall at Furnes while a short distance away the railway station was under the heavy shell fire of the German artillery.

An interesting case,, which involved as plaintiff J. W. Stewart and Dr. B. B Smith defendant has recently been tiied by Justice of the Peace S. R. Street. Mr. Stewart was suing for possession of the James Hotel, which he has leased to the defendant for a certain length of time, claiming as the grounds for his suit the Dr. Smith had not complied with the agreements of the contract. It was not the intention of Dr. Smith in fighting the suit, to keep possession of the hotel, but to get a reasonable length of time in which to close up the place and pay for permanent improve ments which he had made. As he stated, he had employed a crew of people at thef hotel for a certain length of time, and they could hold him up to that contract if they are so inclined. The case was a long drawn out affair, which lasted for several hours, and in volved many technical points of law. The plaintiff was represented by the firm of Moore and Dunn, while At torney E. M. Green looked after the interest of Dr. Smith. The jury, which was composed of six ot the most prominent business men of New Bern rendered the follow ing verdict: "Mr. Stewart is entitled to the property after thirty days no tice, provided Dr. Smith gives him a good and sufficient bond for the rent and return of all the personal property and that Mr.Steart pay him for all permanant improvements such as elec tric bulbs, carpets, trucks and cooking utensils." It is understood however from the defendants attorney that the magis trate has required the defendant Smith to give a bond of one thousand' dollars by ten o'clock this morning or be evict ed.
