(United Preas)—The situation tn France is sald to show very little obange. The attempts of the French to recover lost ground have all been ffastre ited and the German right wing iG reported as making progress, says Negiaged ‘War Office in an official \ to-day. *PARIB, Oct. 8—The allied armies on the offensive in the “Bat- of the Three Rivers.” It is offi- admitted that they are slowly Fegaining every foot of the territory @acrificed to the Germans in the early aya of this week. The Germans are being thrown back between the Somme and the Olse and have also been driven north of Arras. But it is the cavalry engagements that overshadow all else, All along the northern frontier of France the mounted troops of both armies are in battle. The official communique la- conically says that the fighting “ex- tends nearly to the (North) Sea.” Behind that announcement is co: tained the declaration that the Ge Mans are atill doing their utmost to eut the British lines of communica- tion, And, to prevent this, the crack French cavalry, assisted by the dian horsemen of King George, are fighting desperately and according to all reports, successfully. REINFORCEMENTS ARE FORCING GERMANS BACK. ‘There was a more confident ring in te-day’s statement than at any time this week. It is declared h that the British and French reinforcements are already on the firing line and that it is due to their efforts that the Germans are being driven back. The Germans continue to endeavor to resume the offensive in the Woevre region, but so far they have falled. In'every attempt they have been re- paleed with heavy losses. It is now secepted that thero will be a long de- lay before a decisive result can be @ecured in the north. The Germans continue to bring ghelr reserve lines into actica, indicat- ing that their preparedness is phe- pominal. The reserve divisions, for whom it was recently reported difri- culty was being encountered in euring uniforms and equipment, are Téported to be fully as well fitted out as-are the first line troo»s. CAVALRY FORCES FIGHT ALONG : Whe official announcement read: “Firat: On our left wing, in the fegion of the Department of Nord, the enemy has made progress a mo point. ,At certain points he has moved back, particularly to the north of Arras, where the fighting is developing under con- ditions favorable for us. “The operations of the opposing forces of cavalry are developing _ at the present time almost as tar the sea coast on the ners, “Sipetween the Bomme and the ————— MARKS'S MARKETS SAID TO BE GOUGING VISITING PUBLIC Grocers Say They Are in Pos- session of Fakers Who Charge Double Prices, Borough President Marks heard this afternoon Wh three pet. open markéts referred to by members of the Retail Grocers’ Association of New York as “foud fakers’' and ped- dlers’ markets” during an exciting hour and a half in his office in the Municipal Building. He heard mem- bers of the same organization de- re that if he did not either change the entire policy of the free mar- kets they Would stump the town with their 600 members and denounce him, Mr. Marks was told that his market scheme had become « sort of an ob- session for which “the papers” had “fallen” and that as a‘matter of fact he had not saved the people of Man- hattan one penny by his spectacular venture, Not only did the retail grocers threaten to began a campaign against the Borough President, but they left him vowing that they would see Mayor Mitchel and then the Gov- ernor, It was probably the most ex- citing time the Manhattan Borough President ever experienced, “Free public markets! Bah! They are peddlars and food faker markets!" declared John Steeneck, President of the Retail Grocers. “You say you're doing this to save the people money, when, as every one knows, you are discriminating against honest busin@$s men who pay taxes and water renta and live here in the community,” said Henry Haslop, a director of the retail grocers’ organ- ization, Here are some of the things the Retail Grocers’ Association to-day charged against the free markets: That not two per cent, of the pro duce is from farmers direct; that short weights aré being worked on the innocent purchaser: that potatoes which are selling at the three city markets for 90 cents a bushel can be purchased at any decent grocery store for 70 to 75 cents a bushel; that apples that sell for $2.50 a barrel at the market can be purchased for $1 a barrel and that the persons selling the apples at the latter price can make @ profit of 25 per cent, It was peremptorily demanded of President Marks that he discontinue his public markets or run them along the lines promised the public. By this the grocers said they meant that only farmers be permitted to sell produce. pollen ees ANOTHER WORLD'S RECORD AT LEXINGTON TROTS. Etawah Makes It in Winning Tran- sylvania Stake.

Philadelphia Is Aroused ai Police Are Ordered to est Scalpers. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. §&—Phila- ‘Gelphia is now in the throes of an Upheaval over tteket epeciiatiOl. The situation became so desperate that Director of Public Safety Porter or- derod the police to clear the city of speculators in tickets for the world’s baseball series. They were instructed to arrest any man caught trying to sell seats for the games between the Braves and Athietics, either in hotel lobbies or on the streets. Charges have been mace that po- licemen accepted money for obtain- ing places in the line for the uyers of reserved‘ seats yesterday, and Director Porter has ordered a rigid investigation, With detectives hunt- ing them to-day and rain threatened to-morrow, life a dreary outlook for the speculators here. A red hot controversy was on this afternoon with Mack and Stallings on the firing line. Stallings stalked from a telephone booth at the Ma- jestic Hotel after a conversation with Mack and declared he had Invited the leader of the Athletics down to the hotel, where he would “punch his head.” He charged that Mack was trying to put something over by refusing to permit the Braves to practice at Shibe Park. Stallings also objected to Mack's statement that when the Bos- ton leader left the Athletics’ head- quartors yesterday he was perfectly satisfied with the explanation that had been given him. Stallings in- sisted he was never satisfied. Mack declared this afternoon that the Braves could certainly have used Shibe Park had the request been made soon enough. He said he ex- plained to Stallings yesterday that hie players had left, and that as he impossible to ind o'clock it would be change these orders, The field was then offered to Stallings for this morning, but Stallings refused, At all events the weather prevented practice. From the Athletic camp it was stated that they had learned that Fred Mitchel, Stalling’s chief ad- viser, was sent to Philadelphia last week to ask Mack for the use of Shibe Park for one afternoon. Upon read- ing in the papers, nowever, that the Athletics intendgd practice both morning and afternoon, Mitchel is said to have declared that he did not think there was any use asking Mack for the park and returned to New York, If the request had been made then, the Athletic leader declared, it would have been granted, The prospects of rain for the first game has thrown many of the acalp- erg into a panic, Tickets which were being sold for $10 yesterday wero offered at $5 to-day, and there was a slump in price all along the line, Despite a drizzle of rain the first- in-liners for bleacher scats at Shibe Park stuck fast to their positions throughout this morning, and the line was rapidly growing this afternoon. ‘and Debi Lay in sweaters or : pemaet ne us Sn sho. men and dove huddled seguiner ASEBALL AND RACIN EVENING yee LAUREL, MD., THU!

Bombs From Overhead—100,0 Non-Combatants in Wild Flight to Holland. LONDON, Oct. 8 [Associated Press].—‘‘Antwerp was sub= _ jected to a furious bombardment throughout last night," ~~ telegraphs the correspondent of the Star at Ghent. ‘Shells from the German 16-inch (42-centimetre) guns were falling early to-day in the Place Verte close to the Cathedral.”” The intensity of the attack is taken in some quarters to ee mean that the Germans are preparing a second linea” defense stretching from Antwerp to Brussels, Namur and Metz, upon which they can fall back in the event of rors on their present line in north of France. é LONDON, Oct. 8 (United Press].—That a British ol ditionary force of great strength has been rushed to Ant from west of Ghent was reported here to-day. This ex dition was declared to consist chiefly of artillery anda n detachment with heavy guns. The Germans are reported redoubling their efforts 4 take the city. They are in far stronger force than any one. up to the present has imagined. It is declared that there are not less than a quarter of a million men engaged the city, and it is invested from the south, east and ni east, although the most determined efforts are being nae on the south. The Germans are utilizing their aeroplanes to create xt reign of terror. These machines, which are far faster tham) . the Belgian aeroplanes, circle over the city at a great height dropping bombs. It is reported that a score of non-combats ants have been killed by the aerial warriors. Zeppelins are also reported as being held near the outer German battle ;}line and it is believed that they also are to be pressed into service. While the residents of Antwerp are panic stricken and * have fled the city wherever possible, the Belgian forces are still confident. It is said a steamer carried to Ostend for shipment to England many of the Antwerp art treasurés. LONDON, Oct. 8.—A despatch to the Central News from Amsterdam says that during Wednesday night six Zeppelins flew over Antwerp, dropping bont,s in all directions. The extent of the damage doné is not known, but one of the bombs damaged the Palace of Justice. Base King Albert Stays in Antwerp To Direct the Defending 4 LONDON, Oct. 8.—Conflicting reports as to the actual ‘situation at Antwerp are reaching London. From The © Hague it is stated that the city itself is being ‘bombarded. from all sides, and that although the Government archi have been removed to Ostend, King Albert and Quegn |Elizabeth remain in the city.
