Positions, But on All Salient Positions They Are Being Gradually But Slowly Forced Back—The Liberation of Rumania Has Been Begun by the Entente Forces. (By The Associated Press.) The Germans in Belgium and France |still are stubbornly resisting the at- empts of the Entente allied forces to reak through their lines and bring about an immediate collapse of their anfensive positions. On the whole they are succeeding, {but nevertbeiess on all salient posi- \tions under attack the enemy line jEradually. but slowly, is being forced backward. On the northern Italian battle front [-tween the Bremta amd Plave rivers, the Austrians are being put to the | test in a new attack by the British, French and Italfen troops, while in \Mcsopotamia the British have again igone on the offensive against the rks and at Jast accounts were mak- 1g considerable progress.

American shells from these guns are being hurled against both Ver- vins and Rozoy. Further progress has been made by the French in this re- gion, but only after the Lardest kind of fighting. Likewise on both sides of the Meuse river the Americans have ~advanced their ‘line notwithstanding the strong resistance of the ememy. North of Grandpre, which lies in the valley above *he famous Argonne forest, sev- eral hills of the utmost importance from a strategic standpoint have been taken from the desperatelv resisting encmy machine gunners and artiller- ists. Numerous violent counter-at- tacks have been launched by the Ger- mans against the Americans, but all these have been successfully sustain- ed. The Germmans in this region now are badly outflanked by the French standing on the left of thc American line at Vouziers, and it is not unlikely that they soon will be compelled to readjust their entire line from the north of Vouziers to the region of encompassing Valenciennes and | Etain. reaching the Belgian border.

The German war cabinet considered Pres- ident Wilson's reply at a lengthy ses- xlon‘yesterdfly, according to the Frank- fort Zeitung.

COLONEL HOUSE AND ADMIRAL BENSON IN FRANCE _ Washington, - Oct. 25.—Arrival in France of Colonel House, President ‘Wilson'’s personal representative, and Admiral Benson, the highest ranking officer in the American navy, has cleared the way for the beginning of such deliberations by ths Supreme War Council at Versailles as may be necessary to frame the draft of an armistice to be submitted to Ger- many. The premiers of the allied countries, who make up the political elements of the council, can be as- sembled at short notice, but 1t is pre- sumed their presence wil not be nec- essary until the military and naval members have completed their work. It was said today in official quarters that Colonel House woull not be a member of the council, at least for the present: that he simply is th and ears of the president in Europe, charged with ascertaining the exact Must Speed Up Work in Munitions Manufacturers of Connecti- cut and Western Massa- chusetts so Informed. Bridgeport, Conn., Oct. 25.—Muni- tlons manufacturers of Connecticut and the four counties of western Mas- sachusetts were told in plain words today they must speed up production becsiuse a crisis exists and it calls for the unlimited exertion by both man- ufacturers and employes. Major B. A. Franklin, U. S. A, production manager of the Bridgeport district, gave the manufacturers some facts that sur- prised them and explained that the crisis demands them to strain them- selves to the utmost. “Some manufacturers” he said, “seem to have the idea that peace is near, and that idea is detrimental to the interests of the government. You ‘must remember you have signed con- tracts by which you agreed to deliver to the government definite quantities of goods at definite times, and most of you have not lived up to your con- tracts. A crisis exists and it calls for unlimited exertion on your part, just as it does on thé part of your em- ployes.” H. E. Miles of the department of labor told the men present they had been laggards in solving their labor problems and that the time had come for them to busy themselves. “Thirty days ago," he said, “the manufacturers of this country were told that within ninety days they must train 500,000 ~An Indispensable “Conditions wi ich have beer p continue through the after-war trade battle have given adv is country” declares one obs big opportunity in “advertising is the lozical leader industry in such tremendous trad time when war no longer aosor But advertising is vi the same is @ potent factor which cannot be Iy and effectively and efficientl is no better way to become con vantage of the opportunities w fleld of circulation. war or quring pe: In the past week the followins letin’s columns, all for iwelve cent Bulletin Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, h It is indispen: October 19 October 21 October 22 October 23 October 24. .

Individual views of the Entente powers are certain to develop as tho result of the action of President Wii- son in boldly stating the war atms of the United States: in fact, it is un- derstood that the president desires to have these disclosed at the earliest possible moment so that a united {ront on these questions may be presented to the common enemy by prior asree- ment among the countries fighting the Central Powers. Later . Colonel House may take a vlace at the council table if President Wilson desires. The presilent has a| vote in the council in the dispesition of politital matters and it is regarded as possible that he may delezate this power to Colonel House.

With his_men he joined the Polish | army corps in Russia and the two units fought a five-day battle with German forces whose commanders broke an arrangement of armistice. Surrounded by Germans and Bol- sheviki, General Haller effected a night retreat across the Dnieper and finally reached the Czecho-Slovak in southen Russia.
