frontier reports that tho allies cap
tured Tliourout Monday aftor It had
been occupied by a largo force of Ger
mans. Tho Germans, It Is said, loft hun

London, Oct. 27. Tho German raid
on tho channel ports, as It Is called
hero, Booms to have boon checked for
tho tlmo bolng or, at any rate, tho
Germans havo mado llttlo, If any,
progress since they succeeded In
crossing tho Yser canal on Saturday
last. They are, howovor, still push
ing -with all tho forces at their com
mand and aro mcotlng with most stub
born realstanco from French, British
and Belgian troops.
Tho losses on both sides continuo
to bo In proportion to tho fierceness
of tho battle, which means that they
aro groater than tlioso In any battlo
since war was doclared, now nearly
throo months ago.
Germans Turned Back.
Along tho coast, whoro tho allies
haro tho assistance of .French and
British warships, they havo apparent
ly more than held their own and, after
Inflicting very heavy losses on tho
Germans, havo compelled them to try
for an opening further Inland.
Up until yesterday tho allies had
been forced to glvo wny at some
points, but today, according to hn
French official communication, thoy
havo succeeded In holding their posl
tlons at ovory point, from tho mouth
of the Yser to tho Lens district, and
again havo advanced botween Ypros
and Ttoulers, whoro thoro has been
somo of tho strongest fighting of this
sanguinary battlo, nnd where tho
British Indian troops havo made thoir
appearanco in tho firing lino.
Tho opposing forcos aro so strong
that it must bo many days before a
declslvo result is attained by either
side, dosplto tho great Iobsos thoy aro
suffering, and which grow greater as
report follows report.
Allleojon the Offensive.
Along tho old front, stretching from
tho Itlvor Olso to tho Mouse, from
which tho Germans wlthdrow tholr
best troops to strengthou tho army
which Is attomptlng to advanco along
tho coast, the French havo been tak
ing tho offenalvo and to tho north of
SolssonB havo boon engaging in an ar
tillery duel with tho Germans in which
they havo destroyed several Gorman
batteries. Thoy Boom to havo been
playing nt this gamo for somo time,
for tho last throo reports from Paris
havo announced the destruction of tho
German guns.
Further east tho offenalvo tactics of
the French havo driven the Germans
who wero threatening Nancy back
across tho frontier. Tho Gormans,
however, aro bo strongly intrenched
along this long lino that it is bellovod
that they aro propnrlng to remain for
tho winter, holding their positions un
til their present objectives, tho north
ern ports of France, havo been at
tained. WAR SUMMARY
$
Oct. 28. All tho nations engaged in
tho mighty strugBlo In Bolglum nnd
tho north of Franco aro silent on tho
actual happenings in that battlo-scar-
jed zono. So far as is known thoro
"has been llttlo progress on either side,
but from accounts that havo filtered
through various sources tho stern en
gagement which has been going on
incessantly for several days may bo
characterized as tho worst of tho war.
Thousands of Gorman reinforce
ment havo been added to tho great
masses of troopa which havo been en
deavoring to force their wny to the
rtorthorn ports of Franco.
It is said that this ceasoless push
ing forward of vast bodies of Gorman
soldlors is by direct order of tho em
peror, whoso oyo is fixed on Kngland,
a campaign against which nt an early
date is considered among the possl-'
bllltles, providing a sultnblo baao can
be found from which to direct tho
forces.
Similarly the allies have boon
strongly reinforced and among the
new troops at tho front nro tho Brit
ish Indians, who, according to all ac
counts, have been bearing thomBolvos
well.
A now rebellion in tho Union of
South Africa has given cau.80 for anx
iety, both to the British and tho South
African government. Gens. DoWot
and Beyers, both notablo figures in
tho South African war, have placed
themselves at tho head of tho rovolt
in the Orange Free Stato and West
ern Transvaal.
A Portugueses mission Is in London
arranging details for the possible co
operation of tho Portuguese army
with tho allies. Manuol, the former
king of Portugal, huH offered his serv
ices to the army of Portugal should
the republic join the allies against
Germany.
A Havns dlBpatch from Lisbon by
way of Madrid roports that Gorman
troops have invaded the Portuguese
provinco of Angola, West Africa, and
that preparations are undor way for
the dispatch to that province of war
ship and troops from Portugal.

Tho sound of tho explosion was
heard In Iloyalton, and every adult

however, prevented tho rescuers from

dltlonal on the retirement to private

In offering to resign Gen. Carrnm.j
nld ho was actuated only by tho high
ot motives of patriotism and that ac
ceptance or rejection of his offer must
depend on whether his elimination
would contribute toward hastening
peace in tho ropubllc and tho further
ance of truo democratic Ideas.
In discussing the tender of his res
ignation by Gen. Carranza a high gov
ernment nfTlcInl said;
"Gen. Villa has chnrgod Gen. Car
ranza with being a self seeker, who
desired to tako advantngo of an acci

Gen. Carranza now shows his good
faith to tho world by declaring that
If tho personalities of himself and

In the mlddlo West, whero tho win
ters nro cold and long, this stylo of
house Is becoming very popular, part
ly because It is bo easily heated and
partly because It presents a good ap
pearance In splto of Its comparatively
low cost. It is 25 feet by 35 feet on I
the ground and Is full two stories in
height a size and shape that works
up well .Into rooms, hallways, closets,
etc. This makes a dlfforenco when
you come to llvo In It year after year.
Wo nil know of houses that aro not
rlgttly proportioned. They havo somo
rooms that aro small when thoy ought
to ho much larger to properly accom
mednto tho fumlturo necessary for a
gotl appearanco and for tho conve
nluaco of the family, as well as for
the accommodation of friends, for wo
cnr.not live alone. Wo often find this
very trouble In tho living room or dln
Inj, room and In these cases tho mis
take is nothing short of a nulsanco
that will provo annoying as long as
thd house stands.
Other rooms may be small without
Interfering with oUr good nnturo, In
fnco some of them ought to bo small.
Wo havo learned, for Instnnco, thnt a

vnon tho wife and mother is the only
ono to perform tho many kitchen du
ties necessary to tho feeding of a
growing family.
Our grandmothers travoled many
weary miles In going back and forth
across largo kitchens that wero roomy
and cool in summer and roomy and
cold in winter. Thoy had few holps
in tho way of pantries, cupboards,
shelving, kitchen cabinets and other
modem conveniences, such as aro con
sidered necessaries now; but there
wan a big wood-burulng cooking stove
nnd a genorous wood box, which the
small boy of tho family was supposed
to keep well-filled by working nights
and mornings botween school hours
nnd bedtime.
These old-fash'toned kitchens had to
bo scrubbed once a week and swept
overy day, a cleaning task of no small
proportions. Thoro was j big, Hat,
heavy table In ono corner without a
ltnlfo drawer, and tho pantries were
gonorally partitioned off in tho most
awkward ways podslblo; sometimes in
oppoatto corners, which required trav
eling back and forth a great many
times In a fotch and carry process.
People soomed to live to fotch and
carry in those dayB. Thoy carried
burdens of considerable weight into
those big, old-fashioned kitchens, and
some of the packages wero stored
thero for futuro uso. There wub a
barrel of apples, bags of potatoes and
a flour bin, all of which had to be
moved at cleaning time. Tho wood
box had to bo hauled away from tho
wall so tho floor could bo cleaned
undor It and tho baseboard bohlnd IL
This manner of living necessitated a
lafga kitchen, but wo havo learned a
few things by experience, nnd ono of

Another advantage in this style of
houso is tho small am6unt of room

upper hall. You land In the middle
of tho houso with doors almost with

upper rooms. This hall is well light

could bo had at that figure, too.
WON FIRST VICTORIA CROSS
Highest Prized War Emblem of Great
Britain Awarded to Sailor for
Daring Deed.
The stories cabled from Englnnd ot
how British bluejackets in tho recent
naval engagement off Helgoland
picked up unexploded shells that fell
on tho decks of their vossels and
throw them overboSrd recall tho fact
that tho first Victoria cross was
awarded to a sailor in tho Crimean
war for performing exactly such a
feat. He wob Rear-Admiral C. D. Lu-
caB, U. N who died several weeks
ago, just about tho time hostilities
broke out. Ho was an acting mate on
board tho Hecla, of Admiral Napier's
fleet, In tho Baltic, and the feat which
won him tho cross was performed dur
ing tho bombardment of tho Aland
islnndB, whero the Russian and Ger
man fleetB wero reported as having
been engaged in tho present war.
Tho shell which dropped on tho
Hccla's deck was fizzing when Lucas
leaped forward and pitched it over the
side. Thero was only tho barest frac
tion of unburned fuse botween him
and destruction, but ho was cool nnd,.
collected In his manner of performing
tho exploit. Captain Hall, his com
mander, brought the deed to tho at
