French Claim Gains North of Lille and
East of Nieuport. l

in Order to Bury Dead, But French
Decline London Hears Zeppelins
Have Attacked Fleet Off Belgian Coast.
Tlic French official statement issued this afternoon admits the Germans
have advanced in the fighting north of Dixmude and around La Basscc, but
says the Allies have made very appreciable progress to the cast of Nieuport
and between Armcnticrcs and Lille.
' German demands for an armistice at Thiacourt, half way between St.
Hihicl and Mctz, have been refused by the French.
The extreme left wing of the Allies ts in danger of being cut off, ac
cording to Berlin statements, as a result of the determined advance of
German troops.
Reinforced by 600,000 fresh troops, the German armies have advanced
between Lille and Arras toward Lens and La Basscc after severe fighting.
The triangle in Belgium bounded by Nieuport, Dixmude and Roulcrs,
again is the centre of a desperate struggle.
Dispatches from Paris admit the Allies are feeling the pressure of
superior numbers.
Unofficial reports say the French have captured Altkirch, in Alsace,
but the movement against Mctz apparently has been checked".
Official statement from Berlin says German forces arc drawing closer
to Verdun and declares French sorties have been repulsed.
The Kaiser and his General Staff lire reported to have established their
headquarters at Mczicrcs, a few miles from Sedan.
Germans are leaving Antwerp, according to a report from Flushing.
Wives of German officers, it is said, have been warned to depart within
48 hours.
Pctrograd reports terrific disaster to the Germans in their attempts to
cross the Vistula. In the movement at Ivangorod the German casualties
are set at 60,000. The Vistula battle, the War Office admits, has not yet
V"hed the stage of decisive victory, as the re-formed Austrian army has
to be taken into account on the left, while the German centre is being rein
forced by fresh troops from Silesia.
Austrian forces have moved into Poland and, according to Vienna
official advices, have defeated two Russian divisions in the lower Vistula.
This offensive movement, if the report is to be credited, is highly significant,
as it indicates an early junction of the Austrian forces in Galicia with the
Germans, who have been in difficulties along the Vistula as far north as
Warsaw, The Austrians also claim continued success in pushing the
Russians beyond the River San.
Tsing-Tao, the principal city of Kiao-Chau, German leasehold in China,
is reported captured by the Japanese.
Hope for the safety of the British submarine E-3, reported lost, was
given up by the Admiralty. The Press Bureau announced the list of
officers and men ,of the crew. ,
Seventy British warships are scouring the seas in search of raiding
German cruisers, which have wrought such havoc with shipping. An uncon
firmed report from Bombay was that the Emden, which has wrecked 13
British vessels, had been sunk or captured.
A French ship, bearing wounded soldiers, was reported aground near
Cherbourg.

PENN CONFIDENT
OF EASY VICTORY
OYER THE INDIANS
THE "WORM" TURNS
PARIS, Oct. SI.
After several days of obscurity tho
operations along the eastern frontier of
France were thrown Into bold relief by
the announcement today that a demand
for an armistice by the Germans to
bury their dead had been refused In the
neighborhood of Thlaucourt. This Is about
half way between St. Mlhlel, where tho
Germans have crossed the Meuse, and
Meti, against which the French armies
wklth headquarters at Nancy and Tout
have been advancing.
It I: believed here that the Prenclhave
gained materially In this section, and
that as n result they may now be able'to
force the Germans to retire from St.
Sllhlel In addition, they are also believed
to be in a position absolutely to prevent a
junction between the German army oper-
Hng with Meti as a base and the army
of the Crown Prince, which has been
yalnly trying for several weeks to take
Verdun and batter down the Verdun
Toul line of forts.
The Germans have mounted Austrian 42
eentlmetre guns at St. Sllhlel and also at
J-amp-de-rtomalns. and the French have
been compelled to fail back from the
front of this line. It Is believed, how
ever, that if they can make material
gains toward Meti they will also be In
position to direct a flanking assault

will make their positions there untenable.
The righting In the north continues with
utmost desperation. Despite every effort
of the Allies, the Germans, by sheer
weight of numbers, have been able to
gain considerable territory north of the
Dlxmunde region and also In the neigh
borhood of I.a Unsafe. To offset this
the Allies have advanced their lines east
of Nieuport around Iaugemarck (Langhel
niaroq) east of Routers, and In tho vi
cinity of Armentlercs. The lighting Is
still of extreme vlolonce, and It is agreed
In all of the reports reaching here that
It Is still far from a decisive stage.
The official statement follows:
On our left wing, tho battle con
tinues. The enemy has progressed
north of Dixmude and around l.a
llassee. We have advanced very ap
preciably to the cast of Nieuport, In
tho legion of Langcmarck and In the
region between Armeutleres and IJlle.
These are fluctuations Inevitable on
the line of battle, which Is maintain

On the rest of the froht numerous
German attacks, both by night and
by day, have been repulsed. At many
points we have advanced slightly.
In the Woevre region our advance
has continued In the direction of the

TOKIO, Oct. 2. Unofficial reports
printed In the Japanese newspapers to
day say that Tslng-Tao hus fallen. The
Admiralty refuses to confirm these ru
mors, but the city Is making preparations
to celebrate a great viator.
It has been deflenltely learned that the
cruiser Takachiho, reported at first to
have been blown by a mine, was torpe
doed and sunk by the German torpedo
boat S-90, which was subsequently beached
to escape capture. The crew of the 3-W
escaped to neutral territory with Im
portant documents, which the boat had
been ordered to get through the Japanese
blockaders.
The crew of the Takachiho sang the
Japanese natlonnl anthem as the vessel
went down. The last sound heard as the
cruiser disappeared wns the voice of the
men.
In making his report Vice Admiral Kato
commented upon the singing of the
sailors, saying:
"This is evidence how bravely these
men died and how they voiced their love
of country In the supreme moment of
danger. The commander of the Taka
chiho died at his poet, on the bridge of
the cruiser."

Senator Vare refused to supplement It
with any comment of his own, and the
brothers appeared well satisfied with the
situation mid disposed to rest their case
until Penrose noted.
Congressman Vnro said:
I made my position clear In a state
ment on tho floor of Congress on
Thursday, nnd since that time the
matter has been entirely up to Sen
ator Penrose and the North American.
I decline to further discuss the
matter.

put them on. The sun was hidden be

but did not materialize.

Outshlo Franklin Field the streets pre

Chestnut street south on 31th tho athletic
football enthusiasts come on foot and in
motor cars.
Flower and flag vendeis were to be seen
on all street corners. Few persons enter

choice heats for sale did a thriving bUbl

Th- I'lilveMity Rand came In late, and
was greeted with a lousing cheer by the
students. This had scarcely subsided
when the Indian Band began to piny.
In clubs and hotel lobbies talk about
the game began after breakfast and kept
up until persons begnn to Journey Frank

betting, some wagers were made, the
Odds bolng nbout 5 to 4 that Penn would
win. Theie was little Indian money In
eirht.
As has been the custom for years on
the day of the Penn-Indlan game. Phila

to tho occasion. Hundreds of nutomo

from hundreds of shop windows float

Talk was general that Glon Warner
would sooner win a game from the I'nl

Indians play during their football sea

because of a poor showing made lv each

directly to the Hotel Normandle.
Kvery member of the student body who
comes here with the team feels sure the
Indians will win. The girls have many

PENROSE GOES TO NEW YORK.
Senator Penrose Is In New York to
dny, according to attaches of his office In
the Comonwcalth Trust Building. What
ho is doing thero they declined to say.
They knew nothing of any reply to tho
Vnre ultimatum for a denial of tho
charscs or action of some sort against the
North American. In political circles It
was said the Tenrose trip to Mew York
might mean an attempt on the part of
the. senatorial candidate to seek Influence
to offbe: the pmbnlile opposition of the
Vares and the great vote In South Phila
delphia. Later It was learned that Senator Pen
rose had gone to New York to see United
States Senator Root. Men In the confi
dence of Senator Penrose said that he
was conferring with Root today, and that
ho would not be back until tomorrow aft
ernoon. Penrose went to New York with two
objects In view, according to those who
knew the destination of his trip. Though
optimistic they admitted that oven In the
Inner circles of tho Penrose camp mis
givings were growing, and that every
one admitted the dire need of some Influ
ence to bolster up the Penrose candi
dacy. It might have been in this cause that
Penrose went to see Root, they sold.
Nationally known Republican SDeakers
I who could mnke a hurried tour of th
State f-ir Penrose would be of some
value, thry thought. Root' could us his
Influence to obtain them. It was said.
The other object Penrose might have
had. they explained, was a talk with
Root as legal adviser. This would cover
the best course for Penrose to adopt
In the North American complications
which developed on Monday. Ellhu
Root's knowledge of law and his knowl
edge of diplomacy would be of service
to Penrose In the present difficulty. It
was explained.
Advisers and politicians closo to tho
Vares today said that the downtown
leaders had decided to adopt a policy of
"watchful waiting." They are waiting,
the Vare lieutenants said, for the next
move by tho North American, which pub
lished the debauchery charges.
That there will be an open revolt Is m
certainty, they said, unless the charges
are fully threshed out to the satisfaction
of the Veres before election day. Ono
downtown worker, who was in conference,
with Senator Vare yesterday, said that
Representative Vare was prepared to pro
tect his personal honor at any political
cost, and that the feeling amonr tho
South Philadelphia politicians was that
the Vares would take any action against
Penrose to force a satisfactory repudia
tion of the story.
Tho Vares, he said, would probably wait
until the eve of the election before openly
revolting against Penrose as the climax
of the challenge to Penrose by Represen
tative Vare on the floor of Congress
Thursday.
NO ORDERS TO SUPPORT PENROSE.
Although the expected open revolt failed
to materialize yesterday, no orders hava
as yet been issued by the Vares to their
workers to support Penrose on Novem
ber 3. Unless such orders are Issued,
the Vare men aru agreed Penrose will
bo knifed in the Vare wards.
Vare workeis from South Philadelphia
and from same of the uptown wards hava
men In conference with Senator Var
slnee Representative Vara on Thursday
challenged Penrose either to prove or to
refute the charges. They same out of
the conference iniprwmed with the belief
that the Vares wanted them to work
hard for the State ticket, anil to make
no move to line the Vare supporters un
for Pem-ose.
The general belief is that this time
South Philadelphia could not be persuad
ed to vote for Penrose. "The North
Americans revelation U the straw thai
troke the camel's back." said on man,
a prominent Vare leader in the Mill '
Ward. "The great mass of ta Vetera 4
