German Attacks in Champagne Are Repulsed

London, Oct. 31.-10 P. M
The Serbian fortress of Prot,
described as the key to Nish, is
in the hands of the Bulgarians,
while the Austro-Germans, ad-
vancing from the north, are en-
deavoring to form a ring around
Kreguyevatz, where the Serbian
arsenal is situated. This, be-
sides endangering both the Ser
bian war capital and the town
where the Serbian munitions are
manufactured, the central pow
ers with Bulgaria are narrow
ing the gap through which the
Serbian army in the northeast
must escape.
simultaneously, the Austrians
are attacking Montenegro to re-
move if possible the danger of
having an enemy army on their
flank. Little has been said about
the fighting between the Austri-
ans and Montenegrins along the
Drina river, but apparently it is
most sanguinary, as it took the
Austrians, with far superior
equipment, more than a week to
force a crossing of the river at
one point alone south of Vishe-
grad.

vile, n. Y.-Among the items given
out today for publication by the Over
Seas News Agency, were the following:
According TO an Athens dispatch to
the Frankfurter Zeitung, Great Brit
ain offers Greece for her participation
in the war on the side of the allies not
only Cyprus, but also the Dodekanesos
islands and South Albania. Great Brit
ain further promised. in case Greece
entered the war, the evacuation Of the
Aegean Islands actually occupied by
the British after the conclusion of
peace and the payment of sufficient
damages for their temporary occupa-
ton. Prime Minister Zaimis declined
the offer, enphatically repeating the
statement that the people and army of
Greece wan to remain neutral.
"A telegram TO the Cologne Gazette
from Sofia says that the French and
British military authorities in Salo-
niki are showing increasing zeal to
obtain supervision of the mails and
telegraphs and that this paternal care
for the interests of small neutral states
provokes resentment in Greece"

Butte De Tahure, the village Of
Tahure, and the trenches to the
south as far as and including the
works Of La Courtine.' This prep
aration WAS followed along this en-
tire front by thoroughly organized
attack by important masses Of in
fantry, formed in the major part
from troops recently brought up
from the Russian front.
"in spite Of the visor Of the At
tack and the extreme ferocity Of the
assaiiants, the enemy WAS again
subjected to q serious check. The
assauiting waves, decimated by our
fire upon the entire front, succeed
ed only in attaining the summit Of
the Butte De Tahure.
"Evsry~here elss and notably be-

Of LOG, OOO-McCaH Sup
porters Confident

Boston, Oct. sl-Most Of the candi-
dates and the other orators who have
been active in the state campaign took
a rest today after q busy week on the
stump, while party managers applied
themselves to figuring the probable out
come of the contest. Democratic and
Republican leaders alike asserted their
confidence Of victory and similar de-
gree Of optimism seemed to prevail in
the rival camps of the suffragists ana
the "anfis." Progressives, Prohibition
lists and Socialists voiced their belief
that their vote would be an important
factor in the result, although they made
no claim of victory.
Suffrage Standing
IAN anti-suffrage sweep" was pre-
dicted by Mrs. John Balch. president
Of the state anti-sutrage association.
She estimated the majority against suf-
frage at at least 100000 votes.
Mrs. Gertrude H. Leon, chairman OF
the Massachusetts suffrage committee.
said that reports OF canvassers showed
that seven out Of every ten men in the
state interviewed had declared in favor
Of suffrage and she believed this indi-
Gated a good majority for the cause.
Both the suffragists and their oppo-
nents have been active in every part OF
the state for many weeks and both will
keep the campaign moving in lively
fashion tomorrow. Automobile parties
of speakers for both sides will hold
many street meetings here and In other
large cities. This will virtually close
the campaign of the anti-suffragists. but
the suffragists plan to carry their cam
paign to the very doors of the election
booths. Eight thousand suffrage work
ers have been enlisted to stand guard
outside the polling places. They will
work in relays, and each worker will
carry a banner urging Yes" vote on
the amendment.
Many rallies win be held tomorrow
on behalf Of all the candidates on the
state ticket.
Republican Prophecy -

tonight said that his prediction Of a
plurality exceeding $4,000 votes was
based on the most careful survey ever
made by political party in this state
