The Allies are again on the offensive
in northern France.
In a cheerful statement from Paris,
the French War Office reports that
the Germans arc showing much less
vigor in their attacks in Belgium.
Progress is reported on the left
between Cambrin and Arras, north
west toward Nicuport, where the Al
lies have been trying to straighten
out their line, bent back by German
attacks south from Lille.
In the centre, the Allies defeated
the attempt of the Germans to take
the offensive by repulsing attacks in
the Craonne region.
In the Woevre region, on the right,
Paris reports gains in the, forests
around St. Mihiel.
British and French warships have

In the Vosges, on the French ex

are said to have been driven out of
French Lorraine.
The German retreat continues west
of Warsaw, Pctrograd official ad

their lines and give vigorous battles
have been repulsed. One force is at
Petrokoff, 30 miles from the Polish
capital, and another has been pushed
to Radom, 70 miles southwest. The
German left wing has been smashed.
The fighting has been particularly se
vere in the vicinity of Rawa. Cold
weather is proving a strong ally of the
Russians, whose Siberian troops are
innured to zero temperatures.
In Galicia, the Austrians have fail

and the Czar's forces have maintained
their advance. The shelling of
Przemysl continues vigorously.
The Vienna War Office claims cap

wounded In his office In the Union De

Gllmore, nn attorney. Gllmore then killed
himself.
One of Gllmore's shots hit Sinclair In
the shoulder and tho other ln tho stom

Gllmore, his friends say, was eccentric
and had not practiced for jears. Police
say the shooting was the result of an

They believe there was a dispute over
money. On the floor of the olllco was
found a noto which read:
"I consider myself damaged to the ex

The officers say It Is In the handwrit

today In his tight to smash Penrose and
tho corrupt Penrose machine, nnd every
where his special train paused on the
third day of the ex-PresIdent's whirl
wind campaign Immense crouds greeted
him. especially In the Republican strong
hold of Lancaster.
Referring to the Penrose-Vare split, the
colonel said:
"l understand that there Is some row
betweeli these leaders, one has peached
on tho other. Penrose turned State's evt
dence against Varo and Vare has spoken
hnrd of renicce."
While here the Colonel answered Pen
rose's plen for vote? In order to bring
bnck prosperity, saying:
"I ask you to be true to yourselves
and the nation by standing ngalnst the
coriuptlon and evil Influences behind
Penrose. They ask you to vote for Pen
rose because they say he will bring
back prosperity. By asking this they
ask you to barter your souls for a dol
lar. They ask you to barter your de
cency with the alternative that you will
be denied prosperity.
BENDING TO CORRUPTION.
"I say to you that rather than attain
prosperity by such dishonorable means,
rather than bend the knee to corrupt
Influences, let us suffer the hard times
until we can have good times with honor
able men In oftlce. Penrose saya ho will
bring prosperous conditions If you send
mm back to the Senate. He was In the
Senate when the hard times came and
he could do nothing to stay them. Pen
rose can do nothing to bring about a
change.
"You men who want to feel vour Bif.
respect while jou look Into the faces of
your children can do so only by doing
jour utmost at this time to hurl Boies
Penrose out of political power In your
State and nation. 'We must remove the
stain from tho honor of our Government.
Wo must keep our Hag clean, and we
cannot do this with Penrose and those
whom he represents In control. Penrose
stands for Ill-gotten prosperity, that
lomes to the few because they swindle
many."
Two thousand persons greeted the Colo
nel when he started to speak. A group
of boyCtrled to climb a wall at the rail
road bridge at the station to get a bet

pointed to them and eriul.
"Get down there, I will not stand see

when I m not present."
Mure than 10CO persons went wild with
enthusiasm when Roosevelt repeated his
slogan of "smash Penrose." as In York

Calling People to "Day of
Thanksgiving and Prayer,"
He Tells of Blessings
Country Enjoys.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. President Wil

November 26, as a day of "Thanksgiving
and Prayer, and Inviting tho people
throughout tho lnnd to cease from their
wonted occupations and ln their several
homes and placed of workshlp render
thanks to Almighty God."
Tho proclamation follows:
It has long been tho honored custom of
our people to turn In the fruitful autumn
of tho year In praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God, for his many blessings
and mercies to u ns a nation. Tho yeur
that Is now drawing to a close since we
last observed our day of National
Thanksgiving has been, while a year of
discipline because of the mighty forces
of war and of change which have dis
turbed the world, also a year of special
blessing for us.
It has been vouchsafed for us to re
main at peace, with honor, und In some
parts to succor tho suffering and supply
the needs of those who aro In want. We
have been privileged by our own peace
and Belf-control In some degree to steady
the- counsels and shapo the hopes and
purposes of a day of fear and distress.
Oui people have looked upon their own
lifo as a nation with a deeper compre
hcrslon, n deep.er realization of their
rcrponslbllltles ns well as of their bless
liiGJ and a keener sense of tho moral nnd
pirtctical significance of what their pait
among the nations of the world may
como to.
WAR'S EFFECT AT HOME.
The hurtful effects of foreign war In
their own Industrial and commercial af
fairs have made them feel tho more fully
nnd see the moro clearlj- their mutual de
pendence upon one another, nnd have
stirred them to a helpful co-operation
such as they have seldom practiced be
fore. They have been quickened by a
great moral stimulation. Their unmis
takable ardor for pence, their earnest
pity and disinterested sjmpathy for those
who are suffering, their readiness to help
and to think of the needs of others have
revealed them to themselves as well as
to the world.
Our crops will feed all who need food;
the self-possession of our people amid the
most serious anxieties and difficulties and
tho steadiness and resourcefulness of our .
business men will serve other nations as i
well as our own. ,
The business of the country has been '
supplied with new Instrumentalities and i
the commerce of the world with new
channels of trade and Intercourse. The
Panama Canal has been opened to the
commerce of the nations. Tho two conti
nents of America hnve hn i,r,,i i
closer guise of friendship New Instru
mentalities of international trade have
been created which will he .ilm nw in
strumentalities of acquaintance. Inter
course and mutual service. Never before
have the people of the United States been
so situated for their own advantage or
the advantage of their neighbors, or so
equipped to serve themselves.
Therefore, I. Woodrow Wilson. Presi
dent of the United States of America, do
hereby designate Thurtdaj-. the Kth of
November, next, as a day of Thanksgiving
and praj-er nnd Invite the people through
out the land to cease from their wonted
occupations and In their several homes
and place of worship render thanks to
Almighty God.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand nnd caused the seal of the
United States to be alllxed.

In the chain of evidence connecting the
liquor interests with Senator Penrose,
several of the strongest links have been
found ln Alltghenj-, Cambria and Fayette
Counties. Here the political collectors
have been active since snow wns on the
ground; here the saloonkeepers have paid
tho heaviest assessments, and the distil
lers made the largest contributions to the
"slush fund."
That the fight of the liquor Interests
Is being waged for Penrose only, nnd tha$
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh Is dlsreffardefl
by the rum forces, Is exemplified by the
publication In another column of a let
ter written by P. H. Keef, president of
tho Allegheny County Liquor Dealers'
Protective Association.
Tho letter, written to a saloonkeeper
who desired Information as to tho ticket,
touches upon tho local option stand taken
by Doctor Brumbaugh nnd Vance C. Mc
Cormlck, candidates for Governor, and
declares that, from the liquor standpoint,
there Is no difference between the candi
dates, but advised "J'ou people" to vote
the straight Republican tlckot.
ASSDSSCD $23 EACH FOR PENROSE.
This association has been active in col
lecting money for tho Pcnroso fund for
the past six months. The members, mora
than sO per cent, of whom are Repub
licans, were assessed $3 und later $23 for
the campaign. Several complained, and
their complaints reached those who wcro
gathering Information about tho "slush
fund."
In Allegheny County tho Internal Rev
enue ofltcors, who Imvo been keeping their
ears to the ground, have collected n large,
amount of evidence among distillery
workers. In addition, nt .Jcanettc. the
largest brewer makes tho boast that ho
has betn paying a political tax of 13
cents a barrel on nil beer brewed by him
during the campaign.
In Fayetto County tho assessment hni

! chine, several of the members of whleli
aro large distillers, has made n handsome
"present" to tho Stnto organization. It
is in this county that a distiller has been
found who recently declared that his
assessment alone amounted to $!S a day.
One of tho most netlvo llqulr dealeis
In Fayette County Is George Edel, who
financed Governor Tener's Congressional
fight. Ho Is a Crow lieutenant nnd ac
tively engaged in Republican organization
work among the brewers and dlstlllois in
Brownsville.
One of the most remarkable assess
ments has been made In Cambria County
where, in addition to tho regular assess,
ments before the primary election, an ad
ditional tax of J50 has been made by tho
Penrose-Democratlc organization of the
countj'. While evidence Is in hand to
show that tho saloonkeepers paid J20 each
