German Lines h Split,

VICTORY IS CLAIMED CT
ALONG EASTERN END
Kaiser's Troops Forced Back
on Teuton Territory.

London, Oct. 2S.-The unyielding
German line which for six weeks has
been stretched across France is said
on the authority of the French war
Office to have been broken at last.
Near the eastern end OF the line, in
the region beyond Nancy, the official
French statement reports, the invad.
ers have been driven back on German
soil.
At other points over the long line
the offensive has been resumed by
the allied forces, after a long period
of comparative inacti0n.
The French claim to have won the
advantage. in an engagement at the
point where the line sweeps eastward
from the north, less than sixty miles
from Paris. Between scissors and
[Berry-au-Bac, to the east of the bend
in the line, heavy fighting has been
Erssumed. Apparently tfa engagement

forces forbidding the use of infantry.

= To thesnopthward, along the Franco.
Belgian border. the fighting continues
it undimtnished ferocity. Along the
User. where the struggle has been
most intense, the allies have not
drawn back. says the French official
statement, while toward the south
further progress has been made be-
tween Ypres and Roulers.
AS reports filter in from the scene
Of fighting along the North sea, sup
plementing the Unconditional official
statements, it became evident that the
recent battles along the shore of the
North sea have been the most terrible
of the war.
From Emperor William himself, it
is said, came the order that the Ger
man advance down the coast must be
continued at any cost and that Calais
must be taken. The desperate assaults
which followed, particularly alone
the User canal, have few precedents
In modern history.
British newspaper correspondents
estimate that some 5000 Germans sue
ceeded in forcing their way across
the canal. They did it at a frightful
cost.
Battle Still Undecided.
The battle for the road to Calais
still is undecided.
Although it is said that the flow of
German reinforcements in this region
seems to be without end, they appar-
emily, judging from the French off,
cial statement, have made no note
worthy, advance since gaining the
stream. The French say spirited
fighting continues between the mouth
of the User river and Lens; that in
this district the allies have not drawn
back, and that they have continued
to advance in the region between
Ypres and Roulers. The Berlin Off.
cial statement says the situation
around the User river. is unchanged.
On a miniature scale the status OF
the opposing armies in Upper Belgium
ran parallel to the conditions which
prevailed when the German rush to-
ward Paris was checked. The Ger
man forward movement has been
characterized by an even greater
prodigality of men than was shown
iE the march in the direction of Paris.

Sunday night regarding the fighting
OH the River User, says:
There were $500 German bodies in
the User canal this morning after the
fighting in the night. Many of them
were drowned and others were Eayo
netted. The very water itself was
bloody, while Dixmude's streets were
strewn thick with the dead.
These Shoulish facts alone give
some idea of the savageness OF the
fighting, the desperation OF the Ger
man attacks and the stubbo-ness OF
the allies resistance.
"The night was hell from dark to
dawn. At almost every point of the
line man was opposed by man, some.
times at a few hundred yards dis
tance, but more often in close grips

waters of the canal. Into the very

The main purpose of the Germans,
French officials say, is to break
through to the coast on an almost d.

the coast the thin line of French and
Belgians who are holding the central
positions at frightful odds. BY chang.

of to the east and west the officers

There was a smoker following the

mitteemen, the precinct committee
men and the county candidates.
Views were exchanged and a pleasant
evening was passed. The fact that
there are several places on the re-
publican county ticket in which the
candidates have no opposition was
regarded as a weakness for the sue
cess of the entire ticket. rather than
strength, and candidates who had no
opposition were urged to take the
same interest in the success of their
fellow candidates as If they had a
fight on themselves. The democrats
were reported as active in the county
and it was pointed out that wherever
one was elected his main business
was to build up and cement the party
organization.
Every candidate nominated on the
republican state and county ticket
should, receive the support Of the re-
publican voters at the polls.
