P enemy has not even obtained the quest of Peronne and Bapaume. ‘The fact that these figures offer hrp contrast to the result reached to the present is the reason why entente . powers now deny their ginal intentions in making the at- bk, and why they affirm that they not plan to break through but y to detain German masses of ops on the western front. “This is the success of the Somme ensive undertaken with all the rld’s means and with the highest pes. Germany Given Surprise. “The first great thrust of the en- te offensive in July surpassed Ger- hn expeotations as to power and en- rance, but it failed owing to the paralled aggression of the German pops and our assailants gave ‘up eir intentions to break through in at direction, “Early in August the enemy had somewhat the unmethodical of a general pressure against front which, as was natur- t only isolated advantages. r the tactics of the enemy ain were completely changed. By undeniably increased pushing force b obtained an important gain in ter-j hn and, resuming his bold intention breaking through, the enemy di- cted all his efforts against the top the triangle and to gain some ound north of the Somme between at river and the Ancre. This meant e definite division of the general ttle into two separate engagements. “The southern battle in the district Biaches and Vermandovilles after e failure of the idea to break hroush on a big scale resulted in a sticeable main of terrain in the sec- r of Berny and Chaulnes in conse- tence of powerful local thrusts. ese gains, however, could not be ex- nded owing to the heavy losses sus- ined by the attacking troops. “In the northern sector the weight the common thrust succeeded in ctending considerably the conquered iangle by the conquest of Gueude- burt and further terrain, including cmbles, during the battle of Septem- eptember 27 but the aim of inheard of effort—the strategical h of the lines at the top of the ngle—were nct obtained in spite £ the murderous fighting beyond all :omprehension. unheard of Anglo-French s in the battles of October also ailed as the result of the Ger- ing power which certainly increased enormously since the dle of September. “The result of the Somme battle, fore, can be stated as follows: enemy did not succeed in through the German lines. id they crush the German fror which woui@ have meant the weakening of the German west front. he enemy did not obtain even the modest alm of detaining a sufficient number of German troops on the 'n front in order to impede a German action in Conquered Dobrudja and berated Translvania are proofs of this.” If you want War vote for Hughes. —aavt.

No., 3 is the Willehad and at the left the fence erected to screen the Deutschland from public view. The Deutschland brought to America a cargo of gems, stocks and bonds, rare drugs and serums and dyestuffs, worth $10,000,000, it is said. On her return voyage she may carry mails to Germany. Interest in Washington on the ar- rival of Deutschland centered largely on negotiations for establishing a sub- marine line mails service between the United States and Germany. The post office department let it be known that it was prepared to ac- cept a proposal made through the German embassy, that the Deutsch- land and any sister ships ply out of American por; more than 300 pounds of first class mails at the reguiar transatlantic rates. Details of the arrangements will be worked out at conferences be- tween officials of the embassy and the department, and it is hoped that an agreement may be reached to take her first consignment of mail when she from New London mbassy offi s do not disguise their interest in the plan.

This is the last desperate effort of the Republican National Committee to hood- wink the Public into believing that even one reputable Iabor man of prominence is supporting their candidate. A few days ago they were gleefully quoting a six year old statement made by John M. O’Hanlon, Editor of the official organ of the New York State Federation of labor, even after Mr. O’Hanlon had issued a public statement calling attention to the fact that for months he had been supporting President Wilson. This time the Republicans are leaning upon Frank Feeney, named by Martin M. Mulhall in the famous lobby scandal at Washington as his “closest friend and adviser” while Mulhall was the strike breaker and legislative agent of the National Association of Manufacturers. Feeney is notoriously known as the labor agent and pelitical henchman of the Penrose-McNichol Machine in Philadelphia. Mulhall swore that he had Feeney on his payroll and that he had documents to prove it. Two weeks ago the Democratic State Chairman of Pennsylvania publicly charged that Senator Boise Penrose had been put in charge of $400,000 to attempt to influence the labor vote of the country and that Penrose had objected to “doing the dirty work” with so small a slush fund! That charge has not been denied. Nearly a week ago the Democratic National Committee exposed Frank Feen- ey’s employment by Penrose in this campaign to circulate fake labor endorsements for Mr. Hughes. The alleged resolutions appearing in today’s page advertisement of the Repub- licans are the work of Feeney and his agents. The Chicago Building Trades Council did NOT adopt the pro-Hughes resolu- tion quoted in the Republican advertisement and the Republicans know it ! The false report that such a resolution had been adopted was promptly de- nounced by Simon O’Donnell, President of the Chicago Building Trades Council and by Edward N. Nockels, Secretary of the Chicago Federation of Labor. The alleged pro-Hughes resolution, offered at a meeting in the Philadelphia Building Trades Council, was defeated. Leonard Kraft, Feeney’s closest friend, then drew enough proxies from his pocket to jam it through. A week Ilater— November 3rd—the Council officially denounced the act as a conspiracy and re- pudiated the alleged pro-Hughes resolution. Feeney tried to get similar resolu- tions adopted in Cincinnati and other cities—and FAILED. When the attention of Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, was called to the Republican’s page advertisement last night, he issued the following statement: “To the Workingmen of the United States, Greeting: “As predicted by me a few days ago, there is some scheme to spring a canard upon you when it will be too late to dis- prove and repudiate the falsehoods and fictitious allegations or declarations. “The information comes to me that a pretended labor leader has secured some fake declarations of a few supposedly labor organizations attacking the character and the policy of the Labor Representation Committee of the American Federation of Labor, and that they are to be published as advertisements in the newspapers of the country today (Monday.) “The American Federation of Labor has without a dissenting veoice or vote proclaimed the political policy to stand by the friends of labor and justice and to defeat its enemies. “In this campaign Woodrow Wilson stands for all that is true to labor, justice, patriotism, freedom, and humanity. h “'l"’he false friends of labor will fail in their purpose to de- ceive.
