SUTHERLAND and WHITE
ADDRESS BENWOOD VOTERS
EX-SENATOR N. B. SCOTT Is
GIVEN GREAT WELCOME
AT MEETING.
Gathering Was One of Most En-
thusiastic Ever Held in
the Mill Town.

The voters Of Benwood were
given a rare treat last night when
they were addressed by such pro-
FOUNDERS Of Republieanisn a.
Congressman at Larue Howard
Sutherland, the Hon. ceoroe e.
White, candidate for congress In
the First District. and ex-Senator
Nathan Bay Scott, the Grand Old
Man Of West Virginia Republican
Ism. The meeting was held In
the Center Benwood school house
and was, by far. the most en-
thusiastic and successful from the
standpoint Of connino RepubI,esn
success Of any event Of the pres
ent campaign In Marshall county.
Long before the arrival Of the
speakers. the school auditorium
was well filled, and many were
standing In the rear OF the build
ing. The audience was most at
tentive and listened closely TO the
speakers, despite the fact the
program was a lengthy one. The
whole OF Marshall county was
we'll represented, as large deleoa-
tions from MeMeehen, Sherrard,
Glendale, Moundsvilie and the
outlying districts were present.
Several automobiles from this

Ohio county voters, In addition TO
many who went on a special t-ac-
ton car, went down to hear Mr..
Sutherland, and Mr.. White, and
were soreesbly surprised when
Senator Scott appeared, unan-
nounced.
From the royal reception aiven
each speaker, as he was lntroduc-
ed II would appear that the minds
Of the voters In Union district,
Marshall county are already set
tied as to the party they will sup
port next Tuesday and that they
needed only a word from that
party's leaders to confirm their
belief. II is estimated that fully
five hundred persons were gather
ed In the auditorium.
Explained the Issues.
Declaring that the present
Democratic administration was
inadequate to the eountry~s
needs, and that the American
people had already lost faith In
the ability Of the Wilson regime,
Congressman Sutherland made
the principal address Of the even

are taking the precaution to prepare
second line OF defense. should their
forward movement again meet with
defeat
Germans Lose Ground.
The new attempt IL is believed will
be made further inland. for the fail
ure OF the first one was largely due
to the bombardment that the troops
and artillery had to undergo from the
British and French warships OF the
coast OF Belgium.
This cessation OF heavy fighting
seems to have extended along the line
as far as Arras. and the result OF il
all is that the Germans. while they
have suffered heavy losses and have
inflicted similar punishment on the
allies. are farther away from the
French coast than they were at the
beginning of the battle.
The small forces which have been
left TO hold the line from the Oise to
the Meuse while the greater battle
is proceeding have been engaging in
night attacks at different points. the
advantage sometimes going to the one
said that in one of these night at
1000 men.
Along the Meuse the French are
advancing slowly between Apremont
and st. Mihiel in their effort TO cut
OF the Germans who are holding the
latter place.
The German official report issued
today says that the Germans were

PETROGRAD. Oct. 2S.-The fol-

issued to-day from general head
quarters:
In the battle which has been in
progress for four days south OF the
Pilitza river In the forests on the line
extending from the Bialogura (Bia-
lobrezgD TO Glowaczow, Policzna and
Janowiec. our troops have inflicted
upon the Austro-German forces a se-
we're defeat. Between the Pilitza ana
Glowaczow the heroic efforts OF our
troops definitely broke down on Oc-
tober 26 the resistance OF the 20tb
corps and the reserve guard corps OF
the Germans.
ON the center. after lighting of an
extremely desperate character, we
succeeded In establishing a firm foot
hold on the border of a forest in the
region OF the villages of Adamoff.
Zeverinoff and Marianoff
"On the left wing we captured by
assault defensive position estab-
lished al Policzna, and enveloped n
portion Of the Austrian troops near
Berdzeje.
"On the night OF October 81 the
enemy's corps fell back I'm disorder

dom and lila. We captured botn

"On the right bank of the Pilitza

the same desperation.
In Galicia the battle is raging
along the whole front of the river

ten officers and 500 men.
South OF Przemyal our troops are
advancing at certain points.
In east Prussia the enemy has vio-
lently bombarded our positions In the
operations in the region of Bakalar-
jevo. Repeated attacks have all been
Iepulsed.
The success which we have won
TO the south of the Pilitza and the
result OF which was the retreat OF the
enemy on the main front. Is OF the
very greatest Importance.
