Drive Reaches Eastern Banks
of Somme---RumaBians
Take Offensive.
MANY PRISONERS TAKEN
Troops Of Central Powers
Pushed Back at Several
Points by King Ferdinand.

London, Oct. 20.-Gradually the
French are drawing their front closer
to the town of Peronne, on the east
ern banks of the Somme river in
France.
To the north and east of Sally
Saillesel, where the French have adj
vanced their line in the last few days
at what the Berlin war office asserts
was a cost iff casualties not common
surate with the gains, the Germans
have made violent counter attack,
which was repulsed by the French.
Berlin admits that in their attacks
on the SENSATIONAL front, the British
captured German positions, but says
these later were retaken. Heavy
rains fell Thursday on the British
front and except for slight gain by
the British at Butte de Warlencourt
and the repulse Of German counter
attack, comparative quiet prevailed.
As yet no decisive results have been
achieved by either the AuStro-Ger-
mans or the Russians in the violent
fighting that has been going on for
several days in Volhynia and Galicia.
South of Zborow in Galicia several
enterprises have been carried out sue
cessfully by the Austrians, while at
other points Russian attacks were put
down.
lRUMANlANS TAKE OFFENSIVE.
Having held the Teutonic allies in
the mountain passes on the Transyl-
vania-Rumanian border for several
days, the Rumanians have taken the
offensive at various points and now
are declared to be pushing back their
adversaries, who are leaving prison.
ers and guns in the hands of the Ru-
manians.
Berlin, however, controverts this
statement by the assertion that the
AuStro-Germans are engaged in sue
ceSsful fighting in the mountain
passes.
Generally speaking there is no
change in the situation in Macedonia,
although the entente and Teutonic al
lies make claim to minor successes on
various sectors. The Bulgarians in
the vicinity of Monastr are bringing
up reinforcements and large num-
Der Of trench mortars.
Except on Mount Pasubio in the
TrentinO region where the AustrianS
in violent attacks recaptured positions
taken Tuesday by the Italians, only to
be driven out again, artillery duels
are taking place in the AustrO-ltalian
theater.

c. P. MEETING
HAS CLOSED
DR.. Courtner's Discourse Last
Night One Of Best Of
Series.

The series of meetings, which had
been in progress at the Cumberland
Presbyterian church for two weeks,
came to close last night, and DR..
Courtner left at once for his home in
Marshall, Missouri. After a few days
rest, he will begin another meeting
in that state. Large crowds attended
all the services here and the meeting
was productive of much good. His
discourse last night was one of the
best of the series and was delivered
to very large audience.

FREES TOBACCO
FROM TENNESSEE
The Notice Relieves Tension
Brought About By Re-
cent Seizures.

Washington, Oct 20.-The State
Department received an official report
Thursday containing the information
that Great Britain has released car
90 of 500 hogsheads of dark tobacco
shipped by Rudolph Hach C Compa-
ny, Of GAINESVILLE, Tenn, on the
steamer Trafalgar and consigned tc
Copenhagen, Denmark, presumably
for trans-shipment to the Central
Powers.
The departments advices gave no
further details, but the news tended
somewhat to relieve the tension caused
by the recent announcement that the
British Government is holding up
large consignments of American to-
bacco on the ground that they failed
to comply with the recent provision
under which cargoes paid for before
August A and shipped before August
80 might proceed.
A storm of protests has reached the
State Department from tobacco firms
and some individual growers in the
dark region against the announced
purpose of the British Government to
enforce literal compliance with the
requirement that the tobacco must
have been paid for before August 4
by the ultimate consumer to be al
lowed to proceed. 1t was believed
that all the British Government would
insist on would be bona ide sale to
European wholesalers.

MACON CONVENTION
To |NDORSE WILSON,
DORSEY PAPER SAYS
Constitution Editorial Indi-
Gates Tom WatSon'S Ultima
tum to Govrenor-EIeCt viii
Not Be Needed

The state Democratic convention at
Macon next Tuesday will disregard the
peremptory demands of Tom Watson
and pass resolutions indorsing Presi-
dent Wilson and the Democratic admin
istration.
This assumption is based upon an edi-
torial declaration published in Friday
Atlanta Constitution, of which newspa-
per Albert Howell. the law partner of
Hugh NJ Dorsey and guiding genius OF
the Dorsey gubernatorial campaign, is
president and his brother. Clark Howell.
national Democratic committeeman from
Georgia is the editor.
In it's leading editorial Friday morn
ing the Constitution says:
1.-THE Macon convention is going to in
dorse Wilson, of course. 1t couldn't do
anything else"
This is accepted as an authoritative ut
terance and as expressing the Intentions
of those who will be in charge OF the
Macon convention. 1t is also accepted
as an official reply to Watson's peremp-
tory demand that the convention must
not indorse President Wilson.
ATTITUDE OF WATSON.
Whether Watson will back down or
seek to foment a fight in the convention
remains to be seen. It is not consider
ed possible that any one, no matter how
adroit and skillful, can so word reso-
luton that 1t will satisfy the Demo-
Gratis who demand an Endorsement of
President Wilson and at the same time
satisfy Mr.. Watson, who says no in
dorsement of any kind will be approved
by him.
Those familiar with the Watsonian
mind and policies believe that if the con-
vention adopts any kind 'of commenda-
tory resolutions Watson will break with
Mr.. Dorsey, whom he has personally put
on notice that he will not tolerate any
sort of Endorsement of President Wilson
by the Macon convention.
While Mr.. Dorsey, as the Democratic
party's chosen nominee for governor,
will have the final say on all matters
to be handled by the convention, it is
conceded that Albert Howell will be tine
director-general of that affair, and it is
expected that Mr.. Dorsey will defer to
his advice and counsel. In which event
he will, Of necessity, be compelled to
ignore the demand of Watson.
