SOP FOR SOCIALISTS

Berlin, Oct / (via the Hague and
London) The decree ordering the
suspension of the socialist newspaper
vorwaerts has been rescinded, condi-

of reference to class hatred and class

wholly inapplicable to the present SIT

the German people in the present war.
The management of the Vorwaerts has
given assurances of compliances.

PARIS WAR OFFICE CLAIMS THAT
THE GERMANS ARE FALLING BACK;
BERLIN MAKES NO ANNOUNCEMENT

these fragmentary glimpses, there
would appear to be justification, in
the opinion of British observers, for
the confident, even seemingly inspir-
ed optimism on the part Of the allies.
This describes events as shaping
themselves for a repetition of history,
as it was written on the River Marne
when the allied forces sent the Ger
mans back on their tracks.
All the skilful tactics employed by
General Won Kluck, the commander
of the German right wing, have thus
far failed. These efforts, however,
have by no means ceased, and the
German general staff, it is felt in Lon
don, probably will risk something
elseyhere in order to reinforce this
wing.
Heretofore reinsoreements have
been met by achievements. The
Germans nearly got through the allied
ring near Albert to the northeast of
Amiens, but after two days of fierce
struggle they failed. These incessant
assaults on the part of the Germans
have, according to the allied command
ers, cost the assailants. such appall-
ing losses IN men 'tnAt, even allowing
achievements, their ranks must have
been materially weakened.
The announcement from France
of the recreation of the post Of mar
shall of France, coming simultaneously
v It'll the report of General Joffre, COM
mander-in-chief of the French forces,
of the satisfactory condition along the
entire battle line has been hailed by
the allies as significant.
The German navy is showing in
creased activity on the Baltic coast
It is in readiness to support German
land forces if they Succeed in forcing
the passage of the river Niemen.
In the meanwhile, there has come
London news that within a week 9
new Russian army, million strong
will join the present armies in POLAND
and Galicia for "Russias principal at
tack on Germany"

Chicago, Oct. 1-CharIes E. De
Woody, former investigator here for

Parldn, an assistant federal district
attorney, today were absolyed from
charges of conspiracy with Miss Ada
M. Cox, stenographer, in the obtain-
ing of an Indictment charging William
Fufus Edwards, wealthy lumber
man, with violation of the Mann white

charges were aired. closed the inves-
tigation this morning. asserting that
the charges were rElpable fise-
hoods. He recommended that the
grand My taik9 eoEsiizanee a the al,

Edwards was sued for breach OF
promise in st. Paul by Miss Cox, who
obtained a verdict of $4,000 against
him AS the case was nearing q
close Edwards, on complaint of Miss
Cox, was indicted in Chicago for al
legged violation of the white slave act.
Edwards later married but worry
over the indictment is said to have
whitened his hair and wrecked his
health. His bride and her mother
interested themselves in fighting the
government case. Paul Hughes, who
claimed to be a newspaper reporter;
Mrs. Sidney r. Berry, a beauty spec
ialist of Chicago, and John Cummings
brought themselves to the attention
of the young wife and her mother,
making affidavits designed to reflect
on the life of Miss Cox prior to her
acquaintance with Edwards, and quot
ing her as admitting that sne had con
spired with government officials tt
bring about the indictment for effec
on her civil suit.
Judge Landis Immediately ordere
an investigation of the charges, whic
mentioned the names of DeWoody an
Parkin. The last witness of the il
quiry was Lewis Drill, a ST. Paul Law
yer. who represented Miss Cox in he
