Enveloping Maneuver by Von Boehn's
Columns Is Success, According to
Berlin Statement Paris Announce
ment Says Front Remains Unbroken.
PARIS, Oct. 7.
The Germans' attempt to outflank the
Allien on the left continued unchecked.
Try ns they will, tho French and Brit
ish columns have been unable to clfcck
the (Jermau offensive In tho northwest.
They have been compelled to give way
further In the neighborhood - Douai
nnd have fallen back to the neighbor
hood of Lens.
The fighting now continues with tho
greatest violence, according to the lat
est official reports, all along the north
nnd south fronts, extending from tho
vicinity of Complcgne nearly to the
Belgian -border.
At no point, the military officials
here Insist, have tho Germans broken
through the line. They have succeeded
In forcing back the French to new posi
tions, It Is very frankly admitted, but
these positions hold fast and the Ger
mans have been unable to complete
their circling operations or to drive a
wedge through the allied lino which
would onablo them to Isolate the army
operating on the north and overwhelm
it.
To offset the German successes In tho
west, the French continue to drive tho
Germans back in the Woevre district.
The French movement northward Is in
creasing hourly In rapidity, and beforo
long It should be reflected on the west,
as the Germans will have to withdraw
part of their forces to reinforce those
operating in the Woevre region or suf.
fer a serious reverse that will Imperil
their entire campaign.
The official statement at 3 o'clock this
Afternoon follows:
On our left wing the battle con
tinues with rrcat violence. The
opposing fronts have extended even
Into the region of Lens-La-Bassce,
prolonged by masses of cavalry,
which are, in contact even In the
region of Armontieres (west of
Lille).
On the front, from the Somme as
far as the Mouse, there is nothing
to report.
In tho Woevre region the enemy
has attempted to make a new effort
to arrest our progress, but Its, at
tacks have been -opulsed.
The presence of a heavy force of
German cavalry near Lille Indicates
that tho Gormans soon may have un
der way a great cavalry raid in North
ern France, similar to the devastating
raid of General Sheridan toward the
end of the American Civil War.
The new German army Is comyosed
of first line troops, part of them said
to be Austrlans, and they entered the
field of action, according to the reports
of aerial scouts, by train from the di
rection of Cologne. It Is possible that
they have been drafted from the east,
or that they may come from Lorraine,
where operations are at a standstill be
cause of weather conditions.

REA SAID TO HAVE DECIDED
TO QUIT NEW HAVEN BOARD
Pennsylvania Railroad President
Will Probably Decline Re-election.
It was reported today that Samuel Ilea,
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
would decllno ro-oleetlon as a director of
the New York. Now Raven and Hartford
Rnllroad nt the next annual meeting of
tho company, which will bo held on Oc
tober 2S.
While no direct confirmation of tho re
port could bo had from officials of the
Pennsylvania RaUroad. information ob
tained nt Broad Streot Station was to the
effect that the report was correct. 3fr.
Rea is out of tho city at present.
Tho reason given for Jlr. Ilea's reported
refusal of re-election Is In line with tho
policy of tho railroad In reducing the
number of directors, which wero recently
cut down from 16 members to 17. Di
rectors In the New Haven board who are
regarded as representing Pennsylvania In
terests are of the opinion. It is understood,
that tho railroad does not require more
directors than tho Pennsylvania Rail
road. Tim Pennsylvania Railroad has 13
directors, elected by the stockholders, nnd
four additional members of the board,
vice presidents, are olectfd by the board,
bringing tho total number of directors of
tho company to 17.
No other reason was advanced for Mr.
Rca's nttltude. Mr. Rea became a di
rector of the New Haven on December
20, 1512. when ho succeeded James Mc-
C'rea, having taken over the latter's duties
as prcbldent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
on December I, 1913.
Tho unnual report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad for the year ending December
ai, WI3, snows mat tne company owned
52,123 shaies of stock of the New York,
,ew onvuii mm uiiriioru itauroad, with

Tho Pennsylvania and the New Haven
are Jointly Interested In the construction
of the New York Connecting Rail

tems of the two railroads. Both com
panies own stock of tho company, the
Pennsylvania owning 15,000 shares of

Thomas DeWUt Cuyler, who Is also a

rnot a TArr roniiE rosnrvr 1
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. William Lorl
mer, of Illinois, was expelled from the
United SlntcB Senate on July 13, 1912. His
colleagues voted to unaeat him after In
vestigating charges similar to those that
hnvr be-on made In connection with the
methods employed to win the Senatorial
nomination for Boles Penrose In Penn-
- I sylvanla. Lorlmer laughed at hlB accusora
I .... - .1 f L .... i
wiicn me venule was asKeu lo investigate
his election by tho Illinois Legislature.
Senator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, who Is
a member of tho Senate Privileges and
Klcctlons Committee, which on next Frl
day will vote on the Norrls resolution, In
troduced In tho Scnnte this resolution:
Resolved, That corrupt methods and
practices woro employed In the elec
tion of William Lorlmer to tho Senate
of the United States from the State
of Illinois.
In the first Investigation, Senator Lorl
mer waa vindicated. Penrose, of Penn
sylvania, was one of his most active sup
porters. But the tight did not end there.
Another investigation was asked for on
the ground that Clarence S. Funk, of tha
International Harvester Company, had
made the statement that Edward HInas
had asked him to contribute to a $100,000
Lorlmer fund.
Having full faith in the power of the
Old Guard again to save him, Lorlmer
announced that ho welcomed the Inquiry.
Tire second Investigation resulted In his
expulsion by a vote of 65 to 28.
$100,000 RUM FUND FOR PENROSE.
Rcpresentatlve-at-Large Arthur II.
Rupley, of Carlisle, Pa., told the Senate
Privileges nnd Elections Committee on
Monday that S000 retail liquor dealers In
the State of Pennsylvania wero called
i upon to contribute to a $400,000 cam
paign fund. The liquor dealers of Penn
sylvania are openly advocating the elec
tion of Boles Penrose to the United States
Senate.
Senntors of tho United States who voted
to expel Lorlmer from tho Senate when
the "new evidence" was offered at the
second hearing are endeavoring today
to find some excuse which will Justify
them In Ignoring the charges of Repre
sentative Rupley. The "new evidence"
which led to the expulsion of Lorlmer
wa the statement of Funk that he had
been asktd by Hlnes to contribute to a
$100,000 Lonmcr fund.
Now, that n. favorable report on the
Norrls resolution seems certain next FrU
day. Penrose announces that he will wel
come the fullest Investigation Lorlmer
said the same thing in almost the Identi
cal words that Penrose uses today In
trying to convey the Impression that ho
has nothing to fear from a senatorial
tnvtfctlgatlon of his title to the Repub
lican primary nomination for the United
States Senate.
TENROSE A PARTY MILLSTONE.
Political observers in Washington al
ready arc predicting that if Boles Pen
roso Is returned to the Senate his seat
will be declared vacant within a few
months. Leaders of the Republican party,
who hope for success In the national
ontest of 1S1C, admit privately that Pen
rose is a millstone around the neck of
the G. O. P. Since the 1912 convention,
thute Republicans say, Crane, of Massa
chusetts: Aldrlch. of Rhode Island; Gug
genheim, of Colorado, and Barnes, of
New York, have retired from active party
leadership.
But Penrose, who typlflrs bipartisan,
commercialized politics In Pennsylvania,
as mu.h as Murphy in New York or Sul
livan In Illinois, remains in the United
States Senate as the "bogey man" of the
Republican party. These leaders feel that
overy vote cast in Pennsylvania for A.
Mitchell Palmer, a Democrat, and against
Roles Penrose, n Republican, is a vote
for the rehabilitation of tho Republican
party In the nation.
Senator Norrls has not asked for an In
vestigation of the Pennsylvania primary
election to promote the candidacy of A
Mitchell Palmer, a Democrat. Norrls l
a Republican. Senator Clapp, of Mlnne-
ml. io ctinnnrHncr flin Tnrrla Minliitlnn
Senator Kenyan, of Iowa, favors the Nor-
i la rfiknlutlnn Thase three TEiniihllf.iin
Senators are opposing Penrose because
they believe that he Is the candidate c
the liquor dealers and the special Inte i
ests of Pennsylvania.
COMMITTEE TO DECIDE
Behind locked doors next Friday th i
13 Senators will decide whether the p L
Pie of Pennsylvania are entitled Ho know
whether S000 liquor dealers have contrib
uted $60 each to reelect Boles Penrose to
the Senate:
