GERMANS AND ALLIES
BOTH SEEM SATISFIED
Official Reports from All Sources Seem to Indi
cate That Neither Side is Making Much Head
way in Big Battle*.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-General von Kluck, reinforced with troops
from the German center, continues to make a determined stand
against the attempt of the allies to outflank "him.
' The French, who yesterday officially reported that all German
attacks in this region have been repulsed and that Lhe allies had re
sumed the offensive, announced today that the battle to the north of
the Oise, which commenced seriously about September 25, continues
With great violence with no decisive result, and that at certain points
the French troops have had to yield ground.
The Germans, in their report issued last night, say the battle is
proceeding successfully for them.
Both in London and in. Paris, there is the greatest confidence,
although some surprise is displayed at the success of the Germans in,
preventing the outflanking movement. There is a feeling, however,
that the Germans cannot extend their line much farther north with
out weakening it at some point. ^
Along the r?st of the line the French communication says
'.here has been no change. Therefore, the progress in the region of
Soissons and in Woevre, reported Sunday night, either has satisfac
fied them for the moment or they have been checked by the Ger-]
mans. Of the fighting here as on their right, the- German report says j
it is proceeding favorably for the German arms
Progress by either side must be extremely slow, for after every
advance, no matter how slight, the troops making it must entrench
themselves for protection against the shells from the enemy's guns,
posted in strong positions from one end of the line.to the other.
.'? ; Russians Defeat German Anny. .
Thc defeat- of the German army which uvaded Russia from
East Prussia appears from Russian accounts to have been even more
decisive thai} previously stated. According to the Russian ambassador
at Rome, the Germans were routed completely with a loss of 70,000
men and llave been forced to abandon everything.
The Russians now are moving forward with the object of again
invading- East Prussia. This victory, if it is as complete.as reported/ is
of the greatest importance to the Russians, asvit will prevent the Ger
mans from undertaking from land and sea operations which would
have' cornpellet! Russia to turn, at least a part of its attention in this
direction. ' : '
General.Rennenknopff apparently, drove a wedge, between -the

v ..' Big1'.Battle Imminent m 'RUST??J? Poland.
No news has been received today from the Silesian and.Galician
battle' f?eld? and''probabiy the .main armies have not/c?me together
there. '?'big battle cannot be delayed much lodger,-however, as on
th the Silesian frontier both armies are moving forward arid will meet
in Russian Poland. ; ? . '
/Before the^Russian advance in Galicia, the peasants arc fleeing
the country and it is reported that 20,000 of them have reached Bo
hemia.' The sanitary department of Vienna reports that four cases
of Asiatic cholera have occurred among the troops returning from
Galicia, but that alf have been isolated.
At Antwerp,-the official report-says, the situation in thc fortified
position remains .unchanged.

SUNDAY WITNESSED
THE USUAL KILLING
WOMAN SHOT A MAN ON
FARM NEAR
STARR.
BLED TO DEATH
Harry Boston Was Killed On the
Plantation of J. C. Pruitt Short
ly After 7 Sunday. '
. <t
Some remarkable happenings would
certainly come about if Anderson
county should ever go through one en
tire Sunday without u homicide. Short
ly after 7 oclock Sunday evening, Har
ry Boston, a negro, was shot and kill
ed by Jessie Cleveland, also black. *
The shooting took place- on the plan-,
tatton of J. C. Pruitt a few miles to tho
right of Starr and word was ni once
Hent to town for Coroner Hardin and
Sheriff Ashley. The sherie went at
once to Starr and arrested the woman
and she is now in jail. Coroner Hardin
went to the scene yesterday morning
und empaneled the following jury of
inquest: Walter Layton, G W. Dick
son, W. L. Duncan, Jesse Dav h and
W. L. Davis. The testimony went to
show that Eoalon accused bessie
Cleveland of having hie pocket -knife
and when she denied that she had the
knife, Boston grew infuriated and
started for his home, saying that he
was getting ready, to leave South Caro
lina and go to Georgia but before he
went he was going to kill a woman. He
weat to the house and got a shot gun
and when he returned he advanced to
ward-the house.*"tth the nun in lils,
hands. The Cleveland , woman ' bad j
meanwhile secured a shot gun for her
self and when she saw. Boston coming
j she fired, the shot taking effect in bis
logs. The main-artery in one leg was
cut and the negro bled to. death before
bo lp could be secured for him. "?.
The following verdict was rendered
by the corpner's . jury: "Harry Boston
carno to hts death from gun-shot
wounds Inflicted by the band of Bessie
Cleveland."

BEGGED PERMISSION
TO STAY AND FIGHT
Exhausted by Three Days in Trenches French Sol
diers Beg Commander to Let Them Stay and
Take German Position Which They Did.
FROM THE BATTLE FRONT, VIA PARIS, Oct. 5.-The al
lied armies, after having; permitted their adversaries, as they thought,
exhaust themselves hy continued attacks, today took a most vigorous
offen?ve. The British and French encountered such a strong resist
ance, however, that their most advanced detachments on the western '
wing, were, compelled to fall back.
Only at this part of the long battle line did the opposing troops
actually come in close contact.
Many picturesque villages, around which hundreds of thousands
of men occupy positions, have suffered severely in the recent fighting
and probably still more before the'struggle is oyef.
The country where the fighting is going on is flat and uniter
cultivation. In many places it is boggy and there are scattered coal
mines. The allied armies are extending continually toward the, north
'and bending eastward toward the Benian frontier, thus compelling
the Germans, in order to prevent the crumbling, up. of their main
army, to move large forces from the center and so keep pace with
the allies, whose*position menaces th? invaders along the whole line.
The allies' plan, it is thought, may compel the Germans to release
the pressure on the Belgians.
1 The rapidity with which the French change position is consid
ered remarkable. Two entire divisions of infantry marched nearly
thirty miles Saturday and twenty-eight miles Sunday. The Germans,
however, by means of their aviators who are flitting continually over ?
the lines despite numerous casualties, discovered the movements,and
brought up.?reinforcemerits to meet them. As the Germans, occupy .the '
inside of the circle, they are.able to reach an appointed sp'ofVUh
much shorter marches. .--j
It was this that enabled them to force the guards of the allies to
cede a small amount^of ground until further assistance came.
At one point on the allies' front, a French regiment, after three
days in the arenches.on being ordered to the. rear for rest, sent i pe
tition to remain until the^German position facing them was taUen. '
This was granted a*hd the men advanced.Although they met '}
with such a. terrific fire from the machine guns that aji, Advance.;bf,
800 yards tonk ;eight hours, they captured the position and a, number
of, positions. They themselves'suffeted severely. .

. : -Audacious ?'sil?ri?g?'c?nried on by .the Germans has caused the
staff of the allies to deal severely with all strangers found within the
lines. When'two Irishmen, arrested yesterday, had proved their iden
tity to the satisfaction of the officers, they were asked to, go to the
headquarters building where an, automobile was drawn .uiJ with two
officers, apparently French, occupying the front seat. Behind tfiem
were two supposed gendarmes with a manacled civilian between
.them. The,staff officer said: "This \s the reason for pur severity.
These five men.are German officers who were captured today near
the firing line." ,
