Progress of the State Campaign.
Significant Incidents and De-
yelopments of the Week.

BY far the most sensational political
event of the week was the charge brought
against Senator Penrose by the North
American. That paper accused Pen
rose with treachery to the Wares
and other lieutenants In a secret
agreement. and asserted that he con-
fessed to the editors of the North Amer
lean that he had contributed to q fund
OF $l98, 900 to debauch ex-Mayor John L,
Reyburn. State Senator James p. Nc
Nichol and Congressman William S. Ware
were named as the other contributors to
the fund.
In spite of repeated challenges to re-
fute the charges, Penrose failed to do SO,
beyond Issuing a general denial and pour
ing a sea of vituperation upon the heads
OF his accusers. He also failed to show
any intention of hallng his accusers into
court on the charge of libel
Senator James p. McNichol endeavored
to brush the charges aside by ridculing
them. Senator Ware said that he would
remain loyal to the party and support
its candidates.
After keeping silent on the subject
for four days, Congressman William s.
Ware rose TO a question of personal privi-
lege on the floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives, denying any participation in
the alleged corruption fund and demand
Ing that Senator Penrose deny ever hav-
ing made the statement attributed to him
by the North American. Senator Penrose
again made u general statement, but
avoided the specific points on which Con-
gressman Ware demanded an explanation.
President Wilson, in a letter to Powell
Evans, of Philadelphia, gave his unquali-
ned Endorsement to the candidacy OF Rep
resentative Palmer. The Presidents let
ter was not written at the request of
Mr.. Palmer. The President said in part:
'I have seen Mr. Palmer tested; know
his quality. Pennsylvania ought to ac-
cept and trust him, and through him play
proper part in tho constructive work
OF new generation"
Senator George w. Norris, OF Nebraska,
announced in Washington that he would
come to Pennsylvania to fight Senator
Penrose. Senator Norris said:
"It is the first duty OF the Republican
party to destroy Penroseism, AS a Re-
publican Senator consider 1t duty to
my conscience, a duty to decent citizen
ship and duty TO popular government
to oppose with all my power tho re-

COURSE OF THE
EUROPEAN WAR
Military and Naval Operations
Considered in Relation to the
General Situation.

War operations in northern France and
Belgium during the last week wero more
spectacular than any previous campaigns
Of the great European conflict. with
heavy forces the Germans, after captur-
ing Ostend, made a terrific dash down
the coast of Belgium into France, and
were headed toward the strongly forti-
fed city OF Dunlrirl. This movement
the Allies effectively checked.
The escape of the Belgian army from
Antwerp and it's juncture with the
French and British left wing was a re-
markable feat. The Belgians bore much
Of the brunt of the German rush. So
stubborn was the resistance of the Allies
that the Germans have been beaten far
back inland.
A distinctly new feature of the opera
tions was the part played by British
warships in the English Channel. Moni-
tors Of light draught ran close in shore
and shelled the German trenches so ef-
fectively that retreat was forced.
Counter-movements by the Allies
threaten the German forces which swept
down the coast. Courtrai has been re-
ported occupied by the Allies. II this
is true. a deadly wedge has been driven
and the Germans may be cut off from
the main body Of their troops. II the
present movement of the Allies succeeds,
the Germans will be forced to fall back
to another battle line. The French are
confident that within r. few days their
soil will be freed from invaders.
Threats of an invasion of England
from Ostend and Dunkrk rs bases were
current during the week, but with the
seeming failure of the German movement
along the coast fears on that score were

The Austro-German advance against
Warsaw has duplicated in reverse order
the details of last week, when this force
was hurled back 30 miles to the bases at
LODI. after coming within FIVE miles of
the Polish capital. This week the Ger
mans were forced still further toward
their own frontier and then turned for
a fresh offensive, which brought them
within seven miles of the gates Of War
saw. The new advance has been checked
according to Petrograd advices, but the
Kaisor's army has evidently withstood
attempts to drive It back again to its
base. The Berlin version of the CAM

to check the invasion of Poland and that

PRESIDENTS
OPEN LETTER
Comment From Various View
points on a Laudatory Review of
the Work of Congress.

Editorial comments on the letter written
early this week by President Wilson to
Mr.. Underwood are of more sharply
partisan tone than has been noticed here
tofore in the treatment of Executive
messages. Thus, the springfield Union
speaks of Mr. Wilson's fulsome praise
of his Congress-" and suggests that the
teamwork" on which the President lays
much stress Is due to the fact that "for
most of the time Congress has been at
work the President has constituted vir-
tually the whole team" The New York
Press. in similar vein. calls the letter an
"electioneering screed," and "electioneer-
ing dodger," to which the answer must be
a Republican victory against that DEATH
breeding tariff"
The Baltimore Evening Sun. on the
other hand, refers to It's words of sober
ness and truth, based on so broad foun-
dation of national service that It rises
far beyond a mere partisan appeal" and
the New York Evening Post admits that
It would be hard to galnsay the Presl-
dents assertion that the Democratic or
ganization is the only instri.. ..ent which
the country can effectively use at present.

glowing tributes an Administration has
ever paid to itself and couched as 1t is
