VAIOERTQIREAI COAST
Md AlMea Rush Reinforce*
i Howards Northwestern Coast
Renewed as Par as St.
and Germans Re
port no Change In the East.
The German attacks on the allied
line near Che 'Belgian coast .between
Nlenport and Dixnude, similar tactics
by the Allies in France between Ar
ms and Roys, where progress is
claimed, a continued allied assault
on Lille, still held by Germans and
stubborn lighting in the vicinity of
9t. Mlhlel, where for days the Allies
have been trying to drive the Ger
mans from their southermost lodg
ment, were the scute points Tuesday
!h the sprawling battle area of
francs and Belgium.
Fighting of the most desperate
character Is in progress in West FUn-
dors and Northwestern France. The
Belgian army, supported by the Al-
Jlee, la holding stubbornly to the line
con / the River Yser, and thus far has
atted determined efforts of the Ger-
ans to advance along the coast.
A little further south the Allies are
pting to advance toward Lille
it the relief of that city, which has
In German hands for some time,
alao ere pushing on to the north
gad south of Arras. Their efforts to
advance on Lille, where the Germans
hold strong positions, were repulsed,
according to the German report. ^
To the south, at the bend ‘of the
line, the Germans continue furious,
bat futile, attempts to break the
h line. Along the Meuse, in the
.according to the French account,
Germans have failed to repulse
the French, who debouched along the
territory in which Is situated the
b f Camp das Romalnes now In the bands <
gj of the Germans, In an attempt to cut
oat that portion of the German army
thrust towards St. Mlhlel.
-epeaklng, the French
to have made progress at va-
polnts along the front. Parts
reports that the Allies have destroyed
ftfteen German machine guns, two of
which were armored, near Labasse,
d a battery of German heavy artil-
In the environs of St. Mlhlel.
Both sides ere bringing retnforce-
to the western front, where a
struggle is now on. The
are not bringing fresh
troops from the east, bat are throw-
lag every available man la Belgium
Into the bring line. They seem to
have the railroads working well, al-
though they must bave been serious
ly damaged daring the battles of
August and September. Troops are
being transported over them, and
Dutch sources report that train after
train of wounded Is being taken beck
to Germany.
In the lighting In thin open coun
try, where the men have not the pro
tection of elaborate entrenchments,
snch as they have on the Alsne, the
losses must be heavy, especially
where endeavors ere made to carry
positions by saaanlt.
Torrential rains have made the flat
country around the coast c. sea of
mud and this, with the network of
canals, makes the movement of Ger
man guns extremely difficult. The
Germans still are bringing up rein
forcements, a message from Amster
dam saying that troops of all arms
are steadily moving westward be
tween Weeteren and Termonde, to
ward the French frontier.
The London press is unanimously
hailing the German attempt to sweep
through Belgium to the North France
coast towns as a failure. It may be
true that the progress from Ostend
has been slower than the usual impet
uous German rush, but It seems pre
mature to say that they have failed.
The picture continue so blurred
that It Is impossible, except for the
commanders on the spot accurately
to guage the effect of the momentary
charges on the ultimate result.
German and Russian reports agree
that the situation In the east has not
changed, although the armies are in
close touch along the east Prussian
frontier and across Poland and Gali
cia. In Galicia, however, the Aus
trians claim to have repulsed Russian
attacks and to be making progress In
their campaign to drive out the in
vaders.
GRAND STAND FALML
which
Right Hundred Spectators Hurled to
Ground at Laurens.
Between twenty and thirty persons
were Injured, several very seriously,
when the grand stand at the Laurens
Fair grounds fell with at crash at 11
o'clock Tuesday. It is estimated that
800 or ^>00 people were on the stand
when the accident occurred, and It is
little short of a miracle that no lives
were lost outright and that more
were not hurt. A dozen or more of
the injured were rushed to the Julia
Irby Sanitarium. Others were treat
ed on the grounds, while others were
taken to their homes.
Burled in Mine Quarry.
Six white men and four negroes
were burled at Rluefleld. W. Va.,
under a quarry cave-ln. One white
man and one negro were rescued
alive .but the others are supposed to
be dead.

ed to Meet Uncle Sam’s Tax.
Unless experts who aided congress
in framing the income tax law were
greatly In error. 140,000 persons with
taxable Incomes have evaded the in
ternal revenue collectors. Figures
made public at the treasury depart
ment show 357,598 returns, while
congress designed the law on esti-
' mates that there were 425,000 tax
able incomes.
These estimates did not include in
comes between $3,000 a.nd $4,000 on
which 79.426 returns actually were
made, so that tLe total discrepancy is
146,828.
The internal revenue bureau's cam
paign to detect dodgers has been
pushed vigorously and it was under
stood that results might be forthcom
ing soon.

Eastern Railways Ask for Advance of
. \ a
5 Per Cent, on Freight Rates.
Business depression and the Euro
pean war were assigned as reasons
why eastern railroads should have at
least a 5 per cent, increase in frieght
rates, by representatives of the sys
tems appearing before the Interstate
commerce commission. It was as
serted that these two conditions had
led to a shrinkage of more than $75,-
000,000 in the annual net revenues
of thirty-eight eastern roads, ope?ht-
ing more than 59,000 miles of rail
way. ■
