Report Ignores Gains

OF the gains claimed by the Germans
the French report makes no mention,
dismissing the battle with the sem
tence, There is no change to report
between the sea and the region around
Arras"
To add to the trials of the troops ems
gagged in the desperate fighting, a short
spell of fine weather has given place,
to another downpour of rain, which
will convert the lowlands of Flanders
into great lakes.
Advance by French
OF the battles on the center and left
wing, the German report does not
speak, but the French declare they are
maintaining their positions in the Ar
gonne and on the heights of the Mouse
and have destroyed three more Ger
man batteries. From unofficial sources.
it is leraned that the French have
made some advance in the mountains
along the Alsace border.
In Poland a heavy battle is now in
progress between the fortress, where
the Germans and Austrians, who were
defeatde in their first attempt to
cross the Vistula, have made stand
against the Russians, who have failed
in the hope of destroying them. Both
sides have, according to their own re-
ports, made prisoners and captured
guns, but the battle which extends
over a front of rs miles has not yet
been decided.
The Austrians are still making
bold effort to cross the river San and
are carrying on splendid fight south
of Przemysl, in the hope of reaching
and re-capturing Lemberg.
The Montenegrins today admit that
they have had to withdraw to their
previous positions along the Bosnian
forntier. after an attack by superior
force of Austrians. The latter, in fact,
seem to have made a wonderful recov-
cry and to be fighting in a manner.
of which their first performances in
the war hardly gave promise. -
Turkey, which it was believed at one
time had decided to throw in her lot
with Germany, has again assured the
ambassadors of Great Britain, Francs
and Russia that she intends to main
tain her position of neutrality. Tur-
key, however. continues her military
activities and is collecting transport
animals, which, it is said, are destined
for the Egyptian frontier. 1t is pre-
dicted that the presence of strong Rus
sian forces on the Turkish border has
influenced her not to take any action
against the Allies.

That there has lately been a change in
the situation in some OF the big States

Another unofficial table gives that party
control by majority OF about thirty.
An unofficial statement from Republic
an sources claimed the election OF 1875
OF that party. This is In
agreement with one Of the unofficial esti-
mates made by n Democratic leader. This
only tends to confirm the
statement that within the past ten days
the drift of sentiment has been against
the Democratic party. II Is known that
officials OF the administration are some
what concerned over the outcome, al
though they have an abiding faith that
the popularity OF Woodrow Wilson will
win the day.

New York, Oct. 3l.-With the big Demo-
cratic mass meeting in Durland's Acad-
emy tonight what will be remembered as
one of the quietest State campaigns on
record came to a virtual close. Whether
on account Of the diversions of public In
terest in the direction of war news, or for
political reasons nearer home. opinion
among professional politicians Is unani-
nous that the New York voters have
never appeared more difficult to arouse.
Even the injection of religious discussion,
an act disowned by the principal candi-
dates. resulted only in unanimous pro-
tests from every quarter without the ele-
ment of controversy essential TO a bitter
and exciting campaign.
Uncertainty II Feft.
There is more uncertainty than over
any similar event in recent years.
Despite the fact that it promises TO be
a close election, in which a very few
thousand votes may decide the issue.
there has been less interest in the cam
paign than usual Leaders describe this
as a paradoxical situation. War abroad
has made for political apathy here.
So many changes in party alliances are
indicated by the polls and straw votes
so far taken that it is impossible to fore
cast with any degree of certainty. or
confidence even. the result Of next Tues
days balloting
New York State will select a governor
and State ticket, with four major candi-
