Paris States 24 Antwerp Forts Still Hold

as Allies Mass at Ostend Canadians
Reported at Front.
PARIS, Oct. 12.
The whole German front Is about to
take the offensive again, according to
military strategic today. Attempt by
the German force, which have worn
down the defenses of Antwerp to join
with the German right wing In as
oaults westward toward tho coast Is
expected hero to be the signal for a
general attack on the whole battle
line, now extending well over 300 miles.
The German General Staff, by this
offensive. It Is explained, probably
hopes to keep the Allies sufficiently
busy all along the line to prevent tho
sending of reinforcements to ward off
the encircling movement around Lille.
The French War Office, however, has
ecenlcd the trap. French and British
strategists long ago anticipated that
Antwerp must fall, and started a con
centration of forces at Ostend. New
nrinah troons among them, it is re
ported, many from Canada, arc under
stood to be ready for this new German
offensive toward the seacoast.
In the face of a renewal of activity
on the part of German aerial craft,
Paris refuses to view the situation In
any othfcr light than' that of extreme
optimism. The morale of tho Allied
troops is splendid. The weather lias
improved greatly, tho rains ceased for
the most part, and the German artillery
lire is less frequent, particularly at
Verdun, which fortress has now sus
tained German bombardment for eight
weeks.
Attacks made by tho German troops
on tho French left wing between Las
slgny and Roye have been repulsed,
according to an official statement is
sued at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon. It
states that the Allies have made some
progress on the right bank of the
Aisne. Tho cavalry engagements In
tho region about Lille continue.
n.i. m! i norlin statement claims

The official statement follows:
On our left wing the cavalry-engagements
continue in the region
of La Bassec-Kstalres-Hazebrouclc
(all near Lille). Between Arras
s.nd the Olso tho enemy has at
tempted numerous attacks, which
have been repulsed, notably be

At the centre wo have made some

STALLINGS SEES
PLOT TO "GET" HIM
IK FISTICUFF-HERE
Friends Want Gaffney to
Demand Investigation of
Row Just Before First
Game of Series.
BOSTON, Oct. 12.-James B. Gaffney,
owner of the Braves, Is being urged to
demand an ofllclal Investigation of the
alleged attack of a Philadelphia man on
Manager Stallings In the Majestic Hotel
Just before the first game of the series In
Philadelphia.
Stallings says that many of his friends
are convinced tho man's effort to provoke
him was part of "a deliberate plot" on
the pait of a group of backers of the
Athletics to send the Braves into the
series without tho guidance of their
leader. Stallings has learned, he says,
that the pugnacious fan who will go Into
history as the "Philadelphia Ice man"
had a season pass to Shlbo Park. He
was a massive bruiser, fully as big as the
giant-limbed chief of the Braves, and was
not as drunk as he pretended to be. Stall
ings says the man repeatedly Jostled him
end tried to knock his hat oft before the
Braves' manuger took notice. The latter
then started a right swing, which reached
the mark.

PRESIDENT SEEKING
PEACE AT ANY PRICE
WITH POLITICIANS
Desire to Unite Democrats,
Against Common Enemy
Prompts Conciliatory Atti
tude Toward Reactionaries
WASHINGTON Oct. 12. The present
antl-ulccllon period at the Whlto House
might well bo termed the era of "con
ciliation and peace making." The, Wilson
Administration Is now bending all Its ef
foitu to unite the Democratic party for
tho fall campaign, .o that It may present
an undivided front to the "common
enemy." All the factions of the party,
no matter how leactlonary they are in
spirit, are being Invited to the "love
feust." and the crowning concession mado
by President Wilson to the cans., of party
harmony has been his Indorsement of
Rogtr Sullivan as Democratic candidate
for the United States Scnatnrshlp in
Illinoh.
It Is probable tho President will loe
prestige among the progressives and
radical elements of the party as the re
sult of this action. This Is not, however,
the cause of any great worry on his part.
since the old line Democratic organlza-
lions In the various States have amply
demonstrated their power to take care of
themselves under tho now primary sjs
tems. OWEN BALKS AT SULLIVAN,
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, one of tho
radical Democratic leaders, has taken
direct Issue with President Wilson on the
Sullivan question, and has announced
himself In favor of the election of Ray
mond Rcblns, the Progressive party can
didate. Senator Owen's stand has re
ceded wide commendation from the In
dependent and antl-machlno Democrats,
who aro frank In saying that the Presi
dent's present position of harmony at
any price has disappointed them.
President Wilson, however, believes
that his first duty Is to safeguard the
Interests of the party. He points to the
fact that all of the candidates he Is sup
porting havo been chosen by the direct
primary sstem. which a few years ago
was brightly pictured by the radicals as
the panacea for all the evils of bosslsm
and machine rule.
The striking and picturesque incidents
in President Wilson's campaign for har
mony havo been his reconciliation with
Colonel George Harvey, of New York, nml
Colonel Henry Wuttorson. of Kentucky.
Tin1 peace pact between Haivey and Mr.
Wilson was not unexpected, but the re
newal of friendly relations between the
latter and tho Kentuckian has set all
political tongues In Washington wag
ging No one has attacked the President
more bltterl than has the Colonel.
