ALLIES MEET
GERMANS BY
COUNTER OK
RIGHTWING
Pressure on Left in Bel
gium Causes French to
Push New Assaults in
Woevre and Argonne
Districts.
German Bombardment on
St. Mihiel Communications
Is Met by French, Who
Take Thann in Vosges
Mountains.
Kaiser's Forces Meet Strong
Opposition by Intrenched De
fenders and Are Checked After
Successful Drive Across River
Yser.
The Allies replied to the Gorman
assault on their Belgian lines today
by counter attacks in the Wocvrc and
Argonne districts.
Following their successful drive
across the River Yser, the Germans
have hecn unable to advance further
in the face of the firm stand taken by
V the Allies, according to the French
official communique issued today.
Though the Germans have succeed
ed in bringing up their heavy artillery
with which they arc shelling the en
trenchments of the defenders, it is
asserted the Allied front has been
everywhere maintained.
It is stated that the battle line now
extends from a point near Nicuport,
between Dixmudc and Roulers, in Bel
gium, across the French border be
tween Arnicnticrcs and Lille, to the
west of La Basscc and Lens and to
the east of Arras.
Ostcnd, Nicuport and Dixmudc
have suffered severely from shell fire,
and the last-named city is in flames
after a terrific bombardment by the
Germans.
In an effort to check the German
advance, the Belgians have flooded
the country around Di.xmude and
Nicuport by cutting the dykes.
Fire from the British fleet has
forced the Germans to abandon the
roadway between Ostend and Nieu
port. In what is apparently an effort to
divert the attention of the Germans
from the Belgians, the Allies have be
gun offensive movements in the cen
tre and against the German left wing.
In the Vosges district the French have
penetrated as far as Thann and have
taken possession of that town.
In the Argonne region the French
have taken the village of Mclzicourt,
commanding the valley of the Aisne.
In the Wovre district, on the
French right, the Germans are using
heavy guns in an attempt to break
the French line of communication to
ward St. Mihiel through the Thiau-court-Nousard
road.
The Germans have been forced back
50 miles from the Vistula, thus check
ing the invasion of Poland, with War
saw and thence Petrograd as objec
tives. Austrian troops have been used
to cover the general German retreat
to its bases near the Silesia-Poland
frontier. These, according to Petro
grad War Office, are some 50 miles
in their rear.
On the San River in the southern
field of operations the Austrian ad

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, Tlrltlsh Ambassador, today
officially notified Acting Secretary of State
Lansing that Great Britain had no In
tention of placing cotton on the contra
band list, and that American shipments
of cotton to Germany or Austria would
not be Interfered with.
This statement of the Brtltsh Ambassa
dor dispels a fear entertained by this
Government that American cargoes of cot
ton would bo detained or prevented from
reaching their destination.
In order to prevent possible delay in
the receipt of American cargoes sent
abroad the Ambassador requested tho
State Department to Instruct American
shippers plainly to Indicate the nature
and destination of their cargoes on the
accompanying bills of lading. Such a
procedure, the British Ambassador point
ed out, would greatly facilitate their de
livery. At the conference between Acting Sec
letary Lansing and tho Ambassador the
former stated that ho had been officially
notified by the Danish Government that
Denmark had established an embargo on
the exportation of all kinds of oil, and
that tho other neutral European coun
tries had done likewise.

TO LINK PENROSE
WITH. "SLUSH FUND"
Collections Twice the Size of Lorimer's
Indicated in Testimony That Was
Prepared for Committee, Making Case
Darker Than That Against Illinois Man.
Senator's Re-election Would Be Signal
for Immediate Investigation The
Evening Ledger Obtains Much of the
Evidence for Publication.
NO.
Tho Evening LlSDOEr. has obtained for
publication much of the evidence which
was to have been presented to tho Sen
ate Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions had that body voted to investigate
the methods employed to gain the Ite
publlcan senatorial nomination in Penn
sylvania for Boies Penrose.
Parts of this evidence, Including the
reproduction of letters, outlining the en
tiro Investigation, naming witnesses and
what Is expected to be proved by each,
ns well as making public the recent ac
tivity of the liquor bipartisan combine
to re-elect Penrose, nre available for
publication In the Evening Ledoeh.
It has been learned from an authorl
tatlvo source that. In the event of the
election of Penrose, the Investigation,
backed by the power of the Administra
tion, will begin Immediately.
Republican and Democratic members of
the Senate who have examined the docu
mentary evidence and the statements of
witnesses, maintain that Penrose will
never take his seat In the Senate should
he be elected.
Several Senators have gone so far as
to state that the case against Penrose
will be far easier to prove than was the
one against William Lorimer. of Illinois,
who lost his sent by a vote of 55 to 2S.
"SLUSH FUND" EXCEEDS LORI
MER'8. Following a resolution presented In thj
Senate by Sonator George W. Norrls, of
Nebraska, calling for an Investigation of
the methods employed to effect the Sena
torial nominations of Boles Penrose, Re
publican, and Roger C. Sullivan, Demo
crat, of Illinois, the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections conducted a cursory
Investigation to determine whether a sub
committee should Investigate the nomina
tions nnd report to the Senate.
Convincing testimony was presented
showing that a "slush fund," twice as
large as that used to elect Lorimer to
the Senate, had been raised in the in
terests of Penrose. It was also testi
fied, to the satisfaction of the majority
of tho committee, that enormous sums
had been obtained by a direct assess
ment on manufacturers throughout the
State, that Old Guarn Democrats were
financially supporting Penrose, and that
no mention of this money was found in
the primary expense account filed by
the candidate.
The committee decided, after hearing
the testimony, that nn Investigation
should be made after election.
LIQUOR MEN'S INFLUENCE SEEN.
It Is known that a sufficient number of
Senators privately promised to force the
Investigation before the November elec
tion. Within a week after the promises
had been given several mysterious calls
were made. A prominent politician from
Indiana, a close friend of Mr. Sullivan,
EXTRA SESSION NOT IN PLAN I
OF THE PRESIDENT NOW
To Call Conference of Senators After
Election to Map Out Program.
WASHINGTON. Oct SS.-Presldant Wil
son Is not now thinking of calling an
extra session of Congress in November,
or after March 4. He said that shortly
after election he would call Into confer
enct pome leading Senators to map out
the legislative program of the winter ses
slnn. Ills belief today was that It would
take until Februarj to dispose of ap.
proprlatlon bills.
Then bills already passed by one House,
or demanding early attention by reason
of their importance, will be considered,
in the order of their Importance.
The President fcald he expected to go
ahead with the Government ship pur
chase bill unless matters of greater Im
portance demanded attention. Conserva
tion bills will be the chief consideration
of the wlntr session.
The President was inclined to ,' il tnat
no cotton legislation need be attempted,
as he felt recent relief measures were
clearing up the situation. Cessation of
hostilities abroad, however, he believed
would be the only real remedy for the
South' condition. He expected consider
able relief from the fact that this Gov
ernment has assurance that all ports
will be open to cotton cargoes.

VAST AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE. iAl
Since the presentation of documentary '"
evidence to the Senators a vast amount
of new evidence has been disclosed. Thli.
like the former, has been obtained by in-r5'
ternal revenue collectors, detectives em-"
ployed by several Democratic county
committeemen, and a mass of evldenco
has been procured from brewers, retail
liquor dealers and manufacturers who
have refused to pay tho political assess
ments and will name on the witness stand
the solicitors.
In addition, the registration In Fayette
County, where the machine of State Sena
tor Crow, Rppubllcan State Chairman,
has perpetrated registration frauds sur
passing tho halcyon gang days In this
city, will come under the scope of tho
investigation.
Senator Crow is listed as a witness ,n
tho event of the Penrose probe to explain
tho registration frauds, and to account
for expenditures alleged to havo been
made during the campaign.
In brief tho evidence gathered indicates
the following facts:
First. That a "slush fund" was gath
ered by direct assessment of saloon
keepers, browers and distillers.
Second That the bipartisan liquor
combine worked nnd Is working for Pen
rose and is disregarding the Brumbaugh
campaign.
Third. That the Old Guard Democrats
are supporting Penrose.
Fourth. That there has been a general
"hold-up" of manufacturers In Pennsyl
vania, through the elforts of the Penn

committee In Pittsburgh.
Fifth. That the Penrose machine has
enrolled thousands of fraudulent votes to
make sure tho election
