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. In the region of
Souches. also, and on both sides of
Arras all attacks were repulsed with
sanguinary losses.
"The number of prisoners has been
increased to 25 officers and 2600 men.
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.

NAPLKS, via Paris. (Sept. 27. 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.

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

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.
ASHLAND MAY LOSE PLANT
Removal of Ice and Storage Concern
to Med ford Reported.
ASHLAND. Sept. 27. (Special.) 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.
Kxcessive rates here for electric
power are urged as a, reason for the
change, and the further assertion is
made that the plant of the Medford
branch affords more convenient track
age and other facilities. The concern
is one of the chief manufacturing in
dustries of the town, supplying refrig
eration for a large number of cars
daily and extensive cold storage facilities.

Long Fighting Expected.
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. Those who have been fighting
in the west are all confident that no
breach is possible."

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. Physicians will tellTyou of its value. Intesti-Fermin
is not a drug..1 It is a daily and cumulative food guard of peculiar
efficiency.
