London. Oct. 21. The de
velopment of a turning move
nicnt by the allies against the
(icnn.ins extreme rnrht, in
northern France and Belgium
was' admitted today by the war
office here.
It was generally believed the
Franco -r Anglo - Belgian forces
hoped to dislodge the kaiser's
-troops from the vicinities o
Nieuport and Osterul.
' The British fleet was said to
be participating in the operation
by bombarding the enemy from
the sea and a naval brigade
disembarked for the purpose
was understood to be cooperat
ing with the Bejlgians on land
Firing with their aeroguns
. off the Belgian coast, in co
operation with the allies' marks-
men on shore, British warships
were reported ncre tonignt to
have 'brought down a Zeppelin
and an armored taube aeruplane
in last Sunday's fighting.
tt was not stated whether the
aerial crafts were captured or
destroyed.'
From tlie same source came
.news that British warships and
a naval brigade on shore had
put six German coast batteries
out of commission, the Ger
mans losing 1G00 artillery men.
The official war information
.bureau permitted publication of
tlie reports but did not guaran
tee their accuracy.
A report was current that the al
lia armies had found the Teutonic
rislit weaker than they had expected.
and were taking full advantage of
their dinoovery.
War office officials declared that It
wa.i too soon ti make 'a forecast of
' no outcome of pendinjj operations, de
spite their admission that there was
"no reason to rtoubt that the allies
were on the offensive."
Unofficial personages with inside
in formation, declared, however, that the
presence of heavy artillery on the
Germans' extreme right unquestion
ably meant a covering movement was
in progress. Their vew was that the
KalHer certainly was withdrawing at
least part of his Infantry from the
Nleuport-Dlxmude-Roulers line to hold
bis positions in the vicinity of Lille.
GERMANOFFENSIVE IS
DEVELOPING AGAINST
VERDUN, IS BELIEF
Taris. Oct. 21. Though desperate
fighting continued today In the ex
treme north of France, and across the
frontier in Belgium, the feeling was
growing among experts here that Dun
kirk is not the kaiser's main objective.
A new German offensive was devel
oping against Verdun and the French
general staff's eyes were turning in
. .mat direction. The Berlin war of
fice's claim that some of th,e Verdun
forts had been reduced waf denied.
Soma military men surmised that the
(Jermans' activity at Verdun was de
signed to distract French attention
from Alsace-Lorraine, where the Teu-
iuiiiv. mites uuve Dcen nara pressed ior
several days.
Nobody imagined, however, that the

the allies were also strongly attacked,

WAR SUMMARY -BY
J. W. T. MASON
Former London Correspondent
for the United Press.
New York. Oct. 21. The allies were
succeeding today in bending their bat
tle line toward the main German de
fenses in Northern France and Bel
gium. The towns now mentioned in the
official reports as the present cen
ters of conflict are slightly east of
a line drawn direct to the northward
from Arras. This latter city is the
natural pivot, because of its railroad
and highway connections, for an east
ward swing by the allies against Ger
many's northern lines of communica
tion. Two weeks ago it marked the
limit of the allies' northward climb
out of France iito Belgium.
The allies efforts to swing to the
eastward from Arras reveal the fun
damental basis of their northern strat
egy. The necessity they were under
of aiding the escape of the Anglo-Bel
gian forces from Belgium caused a
diversion, and the Germans' counter
offensive against Dunkirk and other
French coast towns further delayed
the development of the eastward
movement.
Allies Maintain formation.
Owing to these two considerations,
the allies were compelled to swing,
not to the eastward, but to the vest
ward, away from the German lines.
They succeeded, however, in 'retain
ing their north and south formation
as far to the northward as Arras.
From that point their line bent back
ward that is to say, toward the coast
to block the German counter offen
sive, and then swung again to the
northward, so as to assist the retiring
Brrtish and Belgians.
In both these things they were suc
cessful. General von Boehm'g Ger
man army, which sought to extend
itself to Dunkirk and Calais from the
east, suddenly found Itself in dan
ger of being flanked at St. Omer, 20
miles from its coastal objective. Then
the Germans were driven back 30
miles. This insured the Anglo-Belgian
forces of a union with the main
Franco-British army. The 30-mile
German retirement at the same time
straightened the allies' line, enabling
it to regain its north and south front
north from Arras.
' Allies to Aim for Ulie.
Since then the allies have resumed
their original objective that of bend
ing their rront eastward from Arras.
The Germans have thrown out an ad
vance entrenched force' about 10 miles
east of the Arras line. This force is
in the vicinity of Lille and the allies
are awingins toward it. They have
progressed as far as Armentieres.
eight miles northwest of Lille, and as
far as Fournes, the same distance to
the southwest. These two towns are
five miles east of a north-and-aouth
line drawn through Arras and mark
the extreme advance of the allies
northern offensive.
The occupation of ' Lille seems now!
to be the Franco-British forces' im
mediate objective.
If the city is taken, the Germans
will' have to fall back toward their
principal northern defenses for a
struggle which may have a dcisive
bearing, on their future occupation of
French territory.

Mineola, U I., Oct. 21. Damaging
testimony against Mrs. Florence Car
man, on trial here for the murder of
Mrs. Louise Bailey, was offered at to
day's session by Celia Coleman, her
own negro maid.
"On the night of the murder," the
maid testified, "Mrs. Carman came
downstairs and walked out of the house
through the kitchen. A minute or two
later i heard the sound of breaking
glass and the report of a revolver. In
less than a minute the defendant en
tered the kitchen and said: 'I shot
him.' "
The witness was questioned closely
by District Attorney Lewis Smith.
"Did Mrs. Carman have anything In
her hand?'' he asked.
"Yes," the maid answered. "She had
a long blue revolver. I was standing
near the pantry door whea she came
over to me. I touched her on the arm
and said: 'What are you going to do
now?

"She answered, 'I am not going to
do anything."
"Then I went into Dr. Carman's of
fice and she followed me in. The body
of a woman was lying on the floor
near the operating table. I stayed in
the room for about a minute and a
half and then returned to the kitchen."
"Where did the defendant go?"
"I don't know. I didn't see her
again until the. next morning. She
came to my room before it was time
for me to get up and said she hoped
God would forgive her. She said she
would care for my little boy as long as
he lived If anything ever happened to
me. Then she asked me to say nothing
of what bad happened the night be
fore."
' Tha expression . of Mrs, - Carman's
face never changed once during tha.

lips' were drawn tight as she sat, with
head erect, facing the witness. She
kept her eyes fastened on the witness,
but the latter never looked in her

"Mr. Levy," continued the negress,
"now one of the defense attorneys,
came to see me in the kitchen the next
morning. He asked me if I saw any
one pass through the kitchen the night
before. I said I had not. On Thurs

Copenhagen, Oct. 21. An attempt

That British submarines should be

Points Out Evil of

New Tork, Oct. 21. Direct issue
with yesterday's statement by George
W. Perkins, former partner of the late
J. Pierpont Morgan, that the New York
stock exchange should be placed under
government control, was taken here to
day by William C. Van Antwerp, one
of the governors of the exchange.
"Had the exchange been incorporated
when the war commenced," said Van
Antwerp, "anyone with an ulterior mo
tive could have sought an injunction.
Even the granting of a preliminary in
junction, which would have kept the
exchange open for the shortest time in
which such Injunctions- are dissoluble,
would have precipitated an economic
tragedy in this country. Hundreds of
thousands of innocent persons would
have been ruined.
