LONDON, Oct. 24.—An uncon
firmed report coming from German
sources today says that Dr. Miclia
eiis, the German Chancellor has
handed in his r ignation to the
Kawor.
While the report has received no
official authorization, similar dis
patches have been received at
Copenhagen and The Hague, and
they arc not improbable.
Michaeils has been under fire in
the Reichstag from the Catholic
and the Social-Democratic groups
since taking his pest in July last.
The recent attacks upon the Chan
cellor were for the ambiguity of
his peace terms.
LONDON, Oct. 2 4.—There is
every reason to believe that if
Michaelis does res:gn as now report
ed this evening, that resignation is
a tactical one. That he will he suc
ceeded by von Buetow seems to be
considered almost certain In Berlin
circles.
The fall of Michaelis would in
dicate that the Ludendorf-Hinden
berg-Crown 1’rince combination of
ultra-imperialists has sustained no
very strong popular approval, and
that the government has finally de
termined upon admitting the popu
lar reforms politically the former
Chancellor said would have to come
but failing to come compelled von
Buelow lo resign.
PARIS, Oct. 24.—The flower of
the array of the German Crown
Prince went shattering on tho
Aisne heights today when the
French along an extended front
north of the river swept forward
over two miles, capturing three
thousand Germans taking over fifty
officers of high rank and complete
ly aniliilating several regiments
•which stood in their positions re
sisting to the last.
Xo such fierce fighting has been
seen in recent times, the Germans
offering a resistance that was re
markable but which resulted in
their being cut down by hundreds
;n the well organized shrapnel bar
age that the French shoved forward
with light artillery behind their
own advancing columns.
Pershing was eyewitness to some
of this most fierce fighting where it
reached Its acme of intensity on
the corner of the Chemin Des
Dames northeast of Soissons.
After the French had swept for
ward for a gain of two miles, the
American General went forward
with the French staff officers and
inspected the remarkable positions
from which the Germans have been
jabbing away at the French posi
tions al through the summer.
The French captured many ma
chine guns.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 24.—Russian
customs officials made a big haul
at the port of Uleaborg, Finland
today when they seized seventeen
sailing ships which were about to
sail for Sweden with cargoes of a
highly contraband nature whose ul
timate destination was Germany.
The ships varied from brigs of

Dan P. M’Donald who arrived up
from Bluff yesterday on the Flyer
had a hard experience when on his
way to Dime creek the last occa
sion. He joined the Rupert with
a dory in tow and in which he had
supplies and three dogs. While
rounding Cape Darby the painter
parted in the nighf time and since
then he has had no report of either
dogs or dory anywhere. He has
been making diligent inquiry along
the coast but so far nothing has
been reported indicating the fate
of his dogs or the boat. The Rupert
could not locate the lost tow when
it was noticed. Mr. MacDonald has
sold out his interest in the Bluff
Roadhouse and it is now conducted
by Mr. Meegan.

WASHINGTON, I). Oct. 21.—
Oil November 1, the capitol will go
dry. Today Judge Gould dismi.-ed
the motion to enjoin enforcing the
dry law because of the legislation
being unconstitutional.
When the legislators return to
the December session they will miss
the bars and saloons in the city. In
no place will it make such a change
as will the enforcement of prohibi
tion in (he capital. The members
have been accustomed at suppers
where liquor flowed plentifully
enough, in days gone by to delibe
rate upon important matters and
many a caucus Dill for intoxicating
liquors and cigars ran to quite im
pressive figures.
The change will be greatly felt
by the soloes and the loss to tho
saloonists in hotels and bars wilt
be very great.
