DRIVING A WEDGE
Allies Are Pushing the German
Right Wing Hard.
The Center Is Forced i'm the
Secondary Entrenchment.
(c) Underwood & Underwood.

Paris. Oct. 15.-An offensive move
ment throughout the French battle line
was indicated in today's war office
statement. 1t was the cause of unusual
optimism here. From far up into Bel
GUM, zig-zagging here and there across
into French territory and down the
Metz line the allies are apparently
pressing the Germans hard. There is
every indication here from semi-offi-
cial reports, that the wedge of Belgians,
British and French with which the al
lies cOuntered the German blow at the
North sea ports in. Belgium, is being
pushed forward between the armies of
Generals Won Boehm and Won Bezler.
Before the German occupation OF
Antwerp the, allies had prepared to en-
gage the German right along the River
Lys. The German Setirement from this
position is now officially reported so,
also have 1.-THE kaiser's troops been
thrust back east Of Arras. Unofficial
dispatches here say the Germans lost
heavily and that the town itself was
greatly damaged by incendiary fires
The Hotel De Willie, splendid type of
Gothic architecture, is reported to have
been greatly damaged.
Particular satisfaction is expressed
here at the enforced German retire
ment to secondary entertainments
along the center-a retreat forced by
fierce French attacks. Military OBJ
servers noted also a slackening in the
German offensive to the extreme
right, promptly met by French ad-
vances in this section.

Heavy Artillery Firing Almost
Continuous on Frontier.
Right Wing of the Allies Again
Has Become Active.

Paris. Oct. 15.-The right wing Of the
allies is now beginning to show signs
Of activity. According to reports reach
ing Paris this morning there was yes
terday an almost continuous firing of
heavy artillery along the frontier.
A force of Germans delivered a spir-
tied attack on French troops in which
numbers were wounded. AS night closed
the force of the enemy was driven
back in the direction of Muelhausen.

Ronsset says he calls attention to this
fact without any thought of recrirnina-

cult to reconcile the legitimate curios-
ity of the public with the safeguarding
OF national interests but when these

pie have given evidence of dignity,
firmness, and patriotism. and they
should be- taken more into the conf
dence of the government. In cOnclud-
ing his article, the critic points out
several instances in which, in his opin-
ion, the official communications have
been lacking.

Clash Between Lawyers.
Early in the proceedings there was
a spirited brush between Ensmfnger
and w. E. Atchison while a witness was
being examined.
Ensminger complained that Atchi-

while the witness was answering Ques-

sharp and Atchiscn retorted that he
saw no reason why Judge Ensminger
should insult him. Ensminger de-
clared that no insult had been given.

witness. He seemed troubled with
stage fright. He told Of having re-

EXPLANATION of Plan Of Ballots
on November 3.

The general election tc be held Mo-
vember will be the first in the his
tory Of the state in which a person who
can not read will not be able to vote
with any degree of success. He will be
given a ballot and an opportunity to
mark his choice of candidates and to
deposit his ballot in the ballot box. but
unless he can read. he. Hnl not know
what candidates he has voted for.
The Massachusetts, ballot system.
adopted by the state Of Kansas. will
be used for the first time November 8.
Previous to the adoption Of the present
law, persons who could not read we're
allowed instruction in marking their
ballots. To make matters still palmer
there was a circle at the top of each
party's candidates where a mark could
be placed and the vote counted for all
persons whose names were on that
ticket.
But the new ballots, proofs Of which
are now being corrected by Oscar
Swayze, county clerk, contain no such
circle. Nor is there any way to vote a
straight" ticket other than by reading
the names of all the candidates and
making a cross after the name of each
candidate of any one party. Heretofore
candidates names were printed on the
ballot under captions. Republican"
Democratic, Socialist" or the name
Of whatever party a candidate be-
1onged to.
The new ballots do not segregate the
names according to party. Instead the
candidates for the various offices are
grouped according to the offices for
which they are running and the only
party designation Of the candidates are
party abbrevations appearing after each
name. Rep" stands after the names
of Republican candidates. and Dem"
after Democratic candidates. That no
candidate may receive favored positions
on the ballot, positions are rotated"
for different precincts.
Politicians believe that the new bal
lots, doing away with party tickets"
very materially decrease the advantage
a candidate has in appearing as the
candidate OF a dominant party, for no
longer can a voter do his voting on
wholesale scale by casting his ballot
for all of any one group of candidates
with one mark Of his pencil. Now he
must give his undivided attention to
choosing between all the candidates
for each office. 1t will take longer for
the voter to prepare a ballot, but the
work will be better done.
