Germans Admitted to Have Gained Ground Around Messines in Belgium, But Their Attacks on Arras Are Thrown Back. In Vosges, the French Are De clared to Have Pushed Further Toward Frontier and Reoccu pied Positions Previously Lost. - Repulses for violent but generally unsuccessful German attacks on the Allies' lines all the way from Dix Tnude to the Vosges were told of in the French official report today. In the region of Messines, a few miles south of Yprcs, is the only point at which it iv-adtuittcd the Germans have gained ground.

Invasion of Egypt has already be gun, say London reports, with the march of 2000 Bedouins onto British soil. Britain, however, announces it is amply prepared to defend Egypt and the Suez Canal.

As tho hour for voting draws near I feel a renewed confidence in the result. In my tour of the State I havo talked with thousands of citizens, and to them I have presented my candidacy with alj the sincerity ami conviction nt my command. I am confident that my campaign, conducted without abuse nnd vilification, has won me thousands of new friends. I know that my trip throughout tho State has enabled mo to renew the friendships mado in the many years of my educational work. Sly old friends are back of my candidacy, and I have assurances that the newly made friends have unwavering faith in my word and my pledge. Nothing in this campaign has been a greater source of gratification to mo thin a renewal of old-time friendships and the making of thousands (of new ones. I feel that to those friends, both old and new, I owe iin administration of the affairs of this State that will be efficient, clean and honest. To this end I pledge my best efforts'. I have had tho heartiest reception in every part of this State; from the old counties where I have spent my life Huntingdon, Blair. Dauphin, Centre, Mifflin, Berks, Frank lin. In these counties I have known personally many of the leading citizens in the school, In the workshop, In the church and In the home. And I have been more than pleased to learn that in the counties' I have gone practically for the first time In Clarion, Greene, Venango, Law rence, Westmoreland, Beaver my reception has been equally warm, and the agreement with the principles which I have stated has been as hearty as in the old counties in the centre of the State, The active help of those right-thinking cltlrens who have rallied by' thousands to my support leaves no doubt of the result. It Is not conceivable that any citizen should at this time fall to know exactly where I stand on the Issues of this campaign. So that there need be no misunderstanding, I want to say ttjat I am Irrevocably for county local option, good roads, workmen's compensation, an advanced employers' liability act, a better child labor law and more humane provisions for the women who toll in our industrial establishments. I also favor most heartily the enactment of a corrupt practices act and the submission of the woman suffrage amend ment to the voters. I can give you positive assurance, just as emphatic tomorrow as It Is today, that there will be -a thorough and effective reorganization of the public service. Inefficiency and Incompetence shall go as surely as shall dishonesty. A new day of open, honest, effective public service will be inaugurated for the citizens of Tennsylvanla. It is in this spirit that X seek the support of my neighbors and my fellow-citizens throughout the State. I have a conviction that the State needs as Governor a man of the people who will regard his affirmation gf qlllce as a sacred thing to be kept as fully In spirit as In letter. I hav given my word to the people of Pennsylvania. If my fellow citizens put their conscience Into the ballot I nave no fear of the rewult.

After the most remarkable campaign over waged In this State, Boles Penrose tomorrow submits himself to tho people aa a candidate for tho I'nlted States Senate. If, on the faco of returns, he should bo (lected In the three-cornel ed fight an Immediate attempt will be made by the Pcnnsjlvanla reorganization Democrats, backed by the power of tho Administration, to prevent him from tak ing his seat as Senator. An Investigation of the Jl.000,000 "slush fund," of the bipartisan liquor combina tion, of tho various political organiza tions formed to advance his candidacy and of the charges preferred by the North American Is Inevitable, Several United States Senators who have heard witnesses and examined the documentary evidence against Penrose declaie he will Concluded nn ruse Two j Palmer With Convincing Logic Shows the Only Way to End Penroseism To the Editor of the Kvenino LEnorn: If I could speak, faco to face and Individually, with every voter In Pennsylvania In these closing hours of a stirring; campaign, I would have but two things to say. and the first is the more important. I would point to Senator Penrose as the Issue paramount No Evbnjno LBDQisn reader needs further words on this subject. In tho intimate personal contact which I have had with tens of thou sands of voters In this campaign, I have seen sure signs of a deep, pur poseful, State-wide revolt against Penrose and Penroseism. The conscience of Pennsylvania Is not only aroused, but nlso hotly Indignant Since I have grown rather chummy with so many voters, the folks who make up our State, I am ready to be confidential concerning the candi dacy of my friend, Mr. Plnchot. I have, on many occasions, bidden men. historically Republican in their party allegiance, and not yet at the point of putting patriotism abovo partisanship, to vote for Mr. Plnchot, for that act will eaeo their consciences and take half a vote away from Penrose. Of course, Mr. Plnchot cannot be elected. lie would have to be stronger than Colonel Roosevelt to carry Pennsylvania. His party, as even reader of the newspaper dispatches knows, si enthuslastla but unor ganized, and thousands of votes weaker for any personality other than Roosevelt himself; and even If, by a work of wonder, he were elected, he would only bo one of a hopeless, helpless minority In a Senate where Presi dent Wilson Is dominant The average voter readily perceives that In con trast with this, as a member of the majority, I would be In a position to make effective In Washington Pennsylvania's historic dreams and desires. For this, and many other reasons, I make an appeal to that great com pany of independent Republicans who, with the clear, hard, practical sense of the typical American, want to make their vote count And they know that of the two men opposing Penrose, I, alone, can be elected, fpr I have, to begin with, about 100,000 votes of a rejuve. ated and united Democracy. Therefore, every independent oitUen who adds bis ballot to this number assures himself that he Is helping to elect a Senator who will be In a posi tion, as a member of the party In power at Washington, to aid In. restoring the purposes of Penn and his people to Its place of power In. the nation Is: It not reasonable that I should ask, as I do, for the support of every man. Irrespective of party, who wants both to protest against Penroseism and also to send to Washington a Senator who will be In a position to do things for the State and nation, a Senator through' whom they can rea sonably expect to obtain tbe recognition to which they will be entitled, and which otherwise would be a-somewhat hasy mirage t Let us make tomorrow Pennsylvania's new Emancipation Boy.
