The scene of this determined action is the territory around Arras, in the department of Pas de Calals, showing a decided movement by the allied army to the northward, as Arras is about 20 uileq north of Albert. There has been no sive resuit, however, up to the present, which in the nature of the fighting going on would seem to indi- cate that the reinforcement of each must have been about equal. is believed that the British In- dian_troops are now on_the line, and possibly some of the British a%-n torials, and it is known that the mans have sent up heavy reinforce- ments from the center to aid the hard- fighting soldiers on the right.

PRESIDENT POINCARE VISITS BATTLE FRONT To-Personally Congratulate Troops on Bravery Displayed, Bordeaux, Oct. 4, 115 p. m.—Presi- dent Poincare, accompanied by Premier Viviani and Minister of War Alexan- dre Millerand, left at noon today for a visit to the battle front. The party traveled in an automobile and will be absent from the temporary capital for three or four days. ‘The president goes to the battle line, not to take part in the strategy, as Is the case of Emperor William and pos- sibly Emperor Nicholas, but that he may personally congratuiate the troops upon the bravery they have displayed in_the long and stubborn fighting. M. Poincare some time ago deter- mihed upon this profect, but until now has been prevented from executing it, either by the necessity of presiding at the daily conferences of the cabi- net, or by the wish of the military, authorities, who deemed the momentd unfavorable for the trip. The news of the president’s depar- ture for the front has given rife to a crop of rumors to the effect that the allles have gained a great victory, the news of which is withheld, and M. Poincare has gone to witness the final discomfiture of the Germans. The correctness of this deduction is officialiy denied and it is repeated that the situation in the fighting zone is as described by the afternoon staatement of the war office. It is added that the ‘president’s sole mctive is to convey the nation’s appreciation and encourage- ment to the troops in their long and difficult struggle to free the soil of the invaders. The president will first visit the headquarters of General Joseph Joffre, commander-in-chief of the French army. FURIOUS ENGAGEMENT FOUGHT AT GRAJEWO. Russians Enveloped Two Wings of the German Army.

Today every neutral nation finds itself greatly em- barrassed by the disturbance which the European war has wrought in ev- v department of human activity. Ve must not be discouraged if this, the greatest of all wars, broke out just when we were most hopeful of the sub- stitution of reason for force in the settlement of international disputes. It may be that the world needed one more awful object lession to prove conclusively the fallacy of the doc- trine that preparedness for war can give assurance of peace. This. as- sumption is built upon the theory that peace rests upon fear, whereas all his- tory proves the contrary. Continuous préparation for war presupposes the existence of an enemy who must be hated until he can be overcome; but hatred begets hatred, and revenge is the heaviest load that man or nation cancarry. “One of ‘the encouragements to be drawn from the present European.con- rough alnguage on the street.
