BERLIN, via London, Sept. 27. The German War Office announced today that the new offensive movement in the neighborhood of Lille, Northern France, had been brought to a stand still by fierce German counier - at tacks. The British attack in other sectors rlso is said to have broken down, with heavy losses to the attacking forces. The War Office asserts that ihe French offensive has made no further progress between Ilheims and the Argon ne. The statement follows: "Quiet reigned on the coast. Only a few shots were fired on the environs of Middelkerke by vessels of the enemy which were lying in the far distance, and these were without re sult. British Losses Heavy. "Southwest of Lille the great. enemy offensive has been brought to a stand still by a counter-attack. Fierce sepa rate attacks by the enemy north and south of Loos broke down, with heavy Josses to the British.

The booty in machine guns has been increased to 14. "The French offensive between Rheims and the Argonne has made no further progress. .All attacks of th& enemy, which were fierce, especially on the Somrae road, well north o Beause Jour, and at Fermemaeigs and east of the Aisne, failed with heavy losses to the enemy. The number of prisoners taken there has been increased to more than 40 officers and 3900 men. Five Allied Planes Shot Down.

Can tain Pavy, commander of the Fabre line steamship Sant' Anna, lias made the following statement to the authorities regarding the fire of -the cargo while on way from New York to Italy, which obliged the vessel to put in at the Azores: "At 7 o'clock at night Italian reserv ists were playing cards over hatch No. 2 when an explosion occurred. Im mediately afterward the quarters of ".he reservists and adjoining compart ments, as well as the passageway, were affected by smoke or vapor, which is descriped in affidavits made by the reservists as asphyxiating gas. "The captain immediately sent out P. . S. calls and ordered the life boats made ready for all passengers. In a subsequent inspection he found that 40 persons had been overcome by fumes. They were soon revived. .Me gave orders for getting the fire un tfer control, and sent officers among the reservists, who urged them to be have like Italian soldiers in the face of danger as they must be relied on to preserve order. "Shortly a. second outburst of smoke and flames occurred. The heat was fo intense thut the deckplates were considerably warped. The steamer .Ancona arrived eight hours after the fire started, and it is remarkable that , not a single life was lost or a person injured among the 600 transferred to the Ancona. "Later many- vessels answered tho wireless call, but were informed that assistance was no longer required. Th discipline among the passengers was excellent considering the heavy sea." Captain Pavy has in his possession 18 pieces of fuse, which were found after the firo was extinguished. It has been impossible up to the present to inspect the cargo to ascertain the damage.

GERMANS TRY NEW MOVE All Arc Shots Recent Operations of Both Mde Confined to Aerial and J Artillery Engagements. LONDON, Sept. 27. A British' official communication dealing with the recent activity on the Oallipoli Peninsula tays: "The recent operations on the Galli- poli Peninsula have been confined mainly to attacks from either side by aircrafts, bombardments by artillery and to mining. "On one occasion the Turks opened a heavy artillery fire along our front at uvla and Anzac, which appeared to re the prelude to a general attack. It was followed by an attack by a small force only on the right center at Suvla. ihe enemy was easily dispersed by our rifle tire. Twice subsequently much the tame thing happened. "More than once enemy aeroplanes have attacked our aircraft base but the bombs dropped did no damage. In return our aeroplanes counter attacked with bombs and blotted out a hangar and did some damage among the ship ping at Burgas. "During the night of the 24th the Turks let loose watch dogs against the French patrols. The dogs were all ehot." Extensive lJanking Operation Over lvorablc Terrain Southeast From Novo Grodek Is Re- ported to Be Intent. PETROGRAD, via London, Sept 27. The German aggressive on the eastern front has become noticeably weaker in the past few days. With the in creasing extent of their penetration of Russian territory, the impetuous strides with which the Germans for a time made fast headway against the Russians, carrying everything before them, have been gradually shortening. At the same time the Russian de fensive with the replenishment of the army's military supplies, is growing daily more stubborn and resort is be ing had to bayonet attacks with ap parently all the confidence and vigor that carried ' the Russian arms last Winter - to the crests of the Carpa thanians. The assaults upon Dvinsk have been checked by the brilliant defense of General Ruzsiky and the operations here have come to a temporary stand still due to the exhaustion of both combatants after days of battling. Dvinsk Front tin let cr. "Somewhat quieter" i3 the comment or the Russian general staff on the situation around Dvinsk, bur is Is pointed out, that this is not Intended to minimize the importance of these operations. The Russian staff has information that the Germans have undertaken a new grouping of their forces for an extensive flanking operation from the direction of Novo Grodek. southeast toward Nessvlge and Slutsk, on the highway to Bobrysk, tho principal crossing of the great Beeresina be tween Borizow and the junction of the Beresina with the Dnieper. This region is comparatively unencumbered with marshes and forests and offers a favor able terrain for such maneuvers. Stubborn Battle Raging. Kast if Vilua stubborn battles are raging in tho region of Vileika, where the Germans have succeeded in ad vancing northward of Vileika. Battles also are progressing southwest of Vileika, but the latter point and Molo dechno junction still remain in Rus sian hands. From L.ida and the Gawia River the Germans have succeeded in moving eastward to the Village of Idle, where they brought heavy artillery Into ac tion. This put a stop to- the progress of the Russians toward the village of Podgurie. By intensive operations there the Teutons evidently are trying to flank the forested region between the Nie raea affluents.

Re ports are current that, backed by Southern Pacific, Wells-Fargo and Pa cific Fruit Express influences, the local plant of the Ashland Ice & Storage Company may be transferred to and merged with the branch of the concern at Medford.

Regarding further developments, German officials expect the attacks will continue to be violent in charac ter for several days, but they declare the ultimate purpose of breaking the German lines already can be set down as an impossibility. The Kreuz Zeitung says: "Regard ing the French and British reported successes, they are without signifi cance from a military point of view: they bring the enemy no nearer thefr object of breaking the German lines. Perhaps it is even more remote than ever, now that the advantage of sur prise on the first attack is lost to the enemy.

Ascientific'food for. health v and long life It is now possible for the people of this country to make daily use, in agreeable tablet form, of the very same food principles that are partly respon sible for the health and remarkably long lives of the Bulgarians who frequently live to be 125 years old. To the world of science it has long been known that the active principles contained in the famous Bulgarian 'sour milk ferments are of exceptional value to the health of humankind. Only recently, however, has the correct and practical use of these principles been discovered and made pos sible to the general public. This has at last been done in 1 Intesti-Fermin Tablets Many year ago it was demonstrated that premature old age is caused largely by poisons and malignant bacteria originating in the lower digestive tract and attacking every organ of the body. Through research it was discovered that certain helpful bacilli contained in Bulgarian sour milk ferments would attack and destroy the bacteria causing these poisons. Intesti-Fermin is a therapeutic food guard a concentration ofthe active principles found in Bulgarian sour milk ferments which aids the human system in its most difficult digestive task. It contains pure cultures of both the Bacillus Bulgaricus and the Clyco-Bakter, sustaining element. It is perfectly harmless and may be used with entire freedom.
