Announces 15 -Mile Gains by Von
Kluk and Von Boehn.
PARIS, Oct. 6.
Tho bnttlo front on tho right flank
bf the German army, where tho allied
British nnd French troops aro pound
ing awny with unceasing attacks, Is
Bteadlly becoming Greater, according to
nn omclal statement Issued at 3 p. m;
today. It Is extending toward tho
tiorth and northwest.
i "Largo masses of German cavalry
have been reported In tho environs of
XjIIIc," says tho stntoment. Llllo Is only
ten miles from tho Belgian frontier,
ffhe appearance of tho big cavalry
forces thoro Indicates that the Ger
mans, too, are engaged In a counter
flanking movement by which they hope
to turn back tho Allies' attack.
The main line of tho railway that
will be used for tho relief of Antwerp
nnd Brussels passes through Lille, and
tho destination of this line may be tho
lend" mf aim of tho German advance
The olllclal statement says that tho
German cavalry Is preceding forces
that are making a movement through
that region at tho north of the Tur-colng-Armcntieics
line.
The British and French In co-operation
have mado n slight progress on tho
right bank of the Aisne north of Sols
Bons, the statement adds. It Is at this
point that tho Allies are trying to drive
a wedgo between the German right
flank and centre.
Thero Is no Indication from today's
Statement that tho Allies are getting
any nearer tho German lines of com
munication. It Is npparent rather that
tho zone of action Is being pressed
farther west, and for the timo being,
at least, tho Germans liavo averted
the danger of being cut off from sup
plies. Armentleres Is about 25 miles west
of Lille and about 35 miles southeast
of Dunkirk, tho port where part of tho
original British expeditionary force
was landed. If the Germans extend
their flanking lines to tho coast, tho
Allies would have to drive their way
through in order to reach Belgium.
Turcolng is about ten miles north
east of Lille. Sinco tho Allies' flank
ing movement developed such power
that district virtually had been clear
of German forces.
The otllcial statement follows:
On our left wing the, front Is be

Some German cavalry forces of
very largo size liavo been reported
In tho environs of Lille, advancing

The War Today
A strong German force Is advancing
from Belgium against tho Allies' left
wing. Cavalry already has reached
Lille. This flanking movement not
only threatens tho left of the Allies'
line, but may mean the destruction of
the railway to Belgium. French nnd
British have rushed heavy reinforce
ments to the western end of their lino.
Germany announces continued suc
cesses In France, claiming 15-mlle
gains at some points by the right wing.
Omclal admission is made of French
gains last week in tho cast by tho
statement that tho Kaiser's forces
again have advanced to the Mouse.
Antwerp Is reported captured by the
Germans after a fierce bombardment.
Communication with the beleaguered
city was cut off.
Russians again crossed Into East
Prussia, near Lyck. Tho German
forces, driven from tho Nlemen River
region, are now threatened on both
front nnd flank. German fortified po
sitions Inside tho border are under at
tack as the Russians movo westward.
Servian and Montenegrin troops'
closed in on Sarajevo, capital' of Bos

TSING-TAO BEFORE CAPTURE
Reported Preparations to Destroy Be
leaguered Fortress.
FEKIN, Oct. 6.
Persistent rumors are current hero that
the Germans have made preparations to
blow up the great fortresses at Tslng
Tao rather than allow them to fall Into
tho hands of the Japanese nnd their
English allies.
Emperor William had sent word to the
German forces holding Klao-Chnu that
they were to hold out ngnlnBt Japan "to
tho last num." This order probably will
bo literally obeyed. According to the
Information available mines have been
laid to demolish Tslng-Tao when the fort
can no longer hold out.
According to a report received here to
day the British battleship Triumph Is co
operating with tho Japanese fleet In the
bombardment of Tslng-Tao. The German
gunboat recently damaged was the
Jaguar.
Information from German sources
states that In the sortie of Saturday night
from Tslng-Tao the Germans lost 1 killed,
3 wounded and 25 missing. The Japanese
claim thnt 18 Germans were killed.

PENROSE NOW SEEKS
TO DELAY INQUIRY
INTO SLOSH FOND
Resorts to Tactics Employed
by Lorimer, of Illinois,
Who Was Expelled From
the Senate.
Favorable Roport on Norris Reso
lution Expected Despite Ef
forts of Standpatters of Both
Parties to Smother It.
trnoM our wrr conncsroNDRNi,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Faclm; ah In
vestigation by the Senate Privileges and
Elections Committee, Boles Penrose, can
didate for re-election to the United States
Senate, Is resorting to tho same tactics
cmplo.ed by William Lorimer, who was
expelled from the Senate, to postpone
an ufnclnt Inquiry Into the charges of
using large sums of money to advance
his candidacy. He was In conforenco un
til a late hour Inst night with his lieu
tennnts devising ways and means of de
laying llnnl action on the Norris reso
lution. Forty-eight hours ngo It seemed cer
tain thnt the Senate Committee, which
seems to be domlnntcd by the reaction
aries, would And a way for the Norris
resolution to bo smothered In tho com
mittee. Members of the committee 'are
now beginning to hear from "bnck home."
As much as they would like to administer
a fresh coat of whitewash for Boles Pen
roso nnd nogur C. Sullivan, the Demo
cratic nominee In Illinois, they dare not
send tho resolution Into the Senate for
consideration.
Indications today point to the passage
of tho resolution by the committee on
Friday. It will then go to the Senate,
where Senators Norris, of Nebraska;
Clapp, of Minnesota, and Owen, of Okla
homa, will lead the fight for the accept
ance of the committee's report. Once tho
resolution sets out of the committee. Sen
ator Norrls Is certain that the investiga
tion will be ordered at once.
STANDPATTERS ALARMED.
There was much alarm in the Demo
cratic camp last night when It became
known that Senators Reed, of Missouri:
Walsh, of Montana, and Pomerene, of
Ohio, Democrats, had announced their In
tention of supporting the resolution. But
for the desire of some of the Senators
to save Roger C. Sullivan from embar
rassment, the committee could have sent
In a favorable report at yesterday's ex
ecutive session.
Senator Owen's determination to invade
Illinois to oppose the election of Roger
Sullivan Is also causing his Democratic
colleagues of the "stand-pat" variety con
siderable trouble. No amount of plead
ing, however, has served to cause tho
Oklahoma Senator to change his program.
Other Democratic Senators are, therefore,
coming to the conclusion that they had
best keep their own skirts clean and let
Roger Sullivan look out for himself.
REPUBLICANS TO FIGHT PENROSE.
When Owen Jumps Into the Illinois fight
to support Raymond Robins, a Pro
gressive, Senntors Norris and Clapp, Re
publicans, will start on a whlrlnlnd tour
of Pennsylvania, the EvENtno Ledobr Is
informed, to oppose the re-election of
Penrose. There Is every reason to believe
that Senators Norris and Clapp nill urge
the election of A. Mitchell Palmer, the
Democratic nominee, simply because they
f-el that he has a better chance of de
feating Penrose than has Glftord Plnchot,
the Progressive candidate.
Clapp and Norris will not oppose Pen
rose because he Is a Republican. They
wilt call upon the people of Pennsylvania,
and especially the Republicans of the
Stftc, not to bring the direct primary
and the popular election of United States
Senators, two reforms for which they
havo fought for years, Into ridicule by
sending to Washington a man of the type
ot Holes Penrose. Clapp and Norris aro
Republicans, but they put decent govern
ment above partisanship
The fight of the Curtis newspapers In
Philadelphia, the EvtwiNO Lbdoer and
the Prune LEDnrm. on Penrose Is caus
ing much comment in Washington.
Colonel Thomas C. Pence, assistant to
National Chairman McCombs, and other
close friends of A. Mitchell Palmer, assert
that the support of these newspapers has
been more effective than any other one
thing In turning the tide against Penrose
in Pennsylvania
BRITISH CRUISER HOLDS UP
SHIP IN AMERICAN WATERS
Fires on Norwelgan Vessel Off New
York,
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-A shot from a
British cruiser, believed to be the Bri
tannia, was fired across the bows of the
steamship Katie, a Norwegian banana
carrier, off Scotland lightship today,
when the Katie was within the three
mile limit.
The action of the British cruiser fol
lowed the refusal of the Katie's com
mander to heed the wireless halt order.
The steamship's commander Ignored the
order, knowing he was only about a
mile off shore, and, therefore, In Amer
ican waters.
The action of the cruiser In firing at a
boat in American waters Is regarded
as a direct violation -of the sovereignty
of Ameneun waters.

Naught, when their ardent waltlnr keeps

Four hundred men and boys waiting
In line for the beginning of the sale of
world's series baseball tickets were
charged by the police on Ninth street
this morning, and the small army of
basball fans and the men who were
making 13 or B0 cents a day holding
places for speculators retreated as re
luctantly as a corps of Germans.
Then entrenched themselves on the
sldewnlk of tho Postofflce, considering It
uovernment ground, but again the police
attacked them and they were scattered
to all points of the compass.
This afternoon 300 of the scattered lit
tle army strung a thin line In the alley
back of Glmbels Into Ranstead street.
They wero not blocking traffic and In
somo places thero was not even a side
walk to obstruct
A long-lcgsed reserve policeman, whose
mark of distinction is a weo black
moustache, was taken hy surprise by the
flank movement. Ho was the only man
of Careys army left on guard.
He telephoned the City Hall for in-sU-uct'ons
and was told to use his head
The order was a little confusing. He
did not know whether to take it Utterly
and use his head in lieu of his blackjack
or Just hold his ground to await instruc
tions. He finally assumed the latter position
and stood on Ninth street, shouting
Move along gents, don't block the high
way." h
The baseball fans also held their ground
nnd grinned.
The police broke up the line upo the
complaint of the Ross millinery store on
Ninth street. They had supervised the
line and kept order all night, but the
manager of the Rosa store upset all the
police plans.
He entered the millinery store this
morning bhrugglng his shoulders and
making disdainful mouths at the long
line of sleepy men and boys. He then
called up the City Hall and entered a
complaint.
CRIED "QUIT KIDDING, SARGE."
Sergeant Carey, of the Reserves, was
ordered with a detail to disperse the
line.
Carey made the attack gingerly. He is
something of a fan hlmstlf. The line,
when told to disperse, took it at first as a
joke. Many of the beselgers of tho ticket
office window shouted "Quit kidding,
Sarge. we'll see you at tho game."
The Sergeant meant business and then
the demortllzation of the army of fans
began. The troops of Carey attacked
under the cover of the cavalry, consist
ing ot Mounted Policeman Kelley.
After the fans were dispersed the vic
torious Carey called them back In small
groups to recover their lunch bags, soap
boxes and hats
It was a bloodless and rather good

ilsions of tho bill, among them the tax
on domestic wines, the tax on gasoline
and automobiles, and the tax on bank
capital and surplus.
Senator Simmons snld: "If we can re
port the bllt to the Senate tomorrow I
believe that the Senate will be able to
pass It before the end of next week."
The committee also resurrected the
Spanish war tac on proprietary medi
cines. Including everything for which
there Is a private formula, and also per
fumery, cosmetics, hair oil, hair dyes and
dentifrices. Tho rate of taxation ranges
from one-eighth of a cent on values up
to 5 cents to five-eighths of a cent for
values from 15 to 23 cents and an addi
tional five-eighths of a cent for each

nnd charitable entertainments, Chautau
qua lectures and lyceums.
"If we can report the bill to the Senate
by tomorrow," said Senator Simmons, "I
hope that the Senate will be able to pasa
It by the end of next week."
Democrats on the committee estimated
that the additional taxes added to the
bill toddy would yield several millions of
additional revenue.
The Senate was not In session today,
having taken a resess on account of the
war tax caucus.
