CANADIAN MUNITIONS
MINISTER STEPS
OUT ON REQUEST
Things Have Not Been Going Well Be-
tween Sir Sam Hughes and the
Home Government for
Long Time.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. l4.-General Sil
Sam Hughes has resigned as Canadian
minister of militia and defense. Hi:
resignation was requested. He had hello
office since 1911.
The break between General Hughes
and Premier Borden and other members
of the Canadian government resulted
from differences over questions of policy
and details OF administration.
Since the beginning of the war there
have been many such differences on ques-
tions of military management, but until
recently, it is said, they have been ad-
justed generally by allowing Gen. Hughes
to carry out his plans. Later the frc.
tion has increased and adjustments have
grown more difficult 1t is understood
the premier and the cabinet have been
growing more disposed to insist upon
their own plans as against those of Gen.
Hughes.
One OF the points over which differ
ence arose was the supplying of the Can
adian forces with tha British army rifle.
Gen. Hughes, it is reported advocated in
stead the use of Canadian weapon.
Some time ago Gen. Hughes returned
from three months visit to England
with a plan to have q Canadian war coun-
ell organized in England with deputy
minister of militia at his head. The Can
adian government, however, held that
with more than 100000 Candian troops in
the trenches in France or in training in
there should be an overseas
of militia. Gen Hughes op-
posed this, as it would greatly deprive
him of authority.
When the government insisted up its
plan, it is reported, Cen. Hughes sug-
gested that Sir Max Aitken should be
appointed to the new post. Premier Bor-
den, however, appointed Sir George Per-
ley, although there is said to have been
lack OF harmony between him and Gen.
Hughes. This took from Gen Hughes
control of a large part of the Candian
forces.
While he was In England Gen.
Hughes, after investigating the Can
,dian army medical force, relieved Gen.
fuy Carleton Jones OF the command. The
replaced Gen Jones.
Criticism by Gen. Hughes of action |
aiken by British authorities both in re
,ard to the handling Of Canadian army
supplies and Of the Candian forces, it is I
aid, has been resented
1t has been stated that there was a
ack of eordiality between Gen. Hughes
nd the Duke of Connaught, who has
ust left Canada, after years service

PLAN FEDERAL
INQUIRY
Into the Alleged Misuse of
Money in the Presiden-
tial Campaign
OFFICIALS ADMIT
PLANS UNDER WAY
Resolution, Authorizing an
Investigation, to Be Sub
mitted to Congress

Washington, D. c., Nov l4.-Senato-
rial investigation of alleged misuse of
money in the presidential campaign was
announced definitely to-day by admins
tration officials. Preliminary plans have
been made to prepare resolution, pro-
viding the machinery for an inquiry,
ready to be introduced soon after Con-
gress convenes next month. This plan is
to call those actually in charge of cam
paign finances before the Senate com
mjttee and investigate the details Of
their transactions.
Various reports concerning the use OF
money in certain states have come to
Democratic as well as to Republican
headquarters. Investigation into al
legged attempts to colonize voters in In
diana and West Virginia particularly
was begun several weeks before the
election. Before the polls closed on Tues
day charges of corruption were being
openly made by the Democratic chief
tains and predictions were freely circu-
lated that exposures would follow the
election.
Evidence Is being gathered upon which
to base contests in the election of Harry
s. New and James L. Watson as SEN
ators from Indiana and Representative
Howard Sutherland as senator in West
Virginia. New on the face of the re.
turns defeated majority leader Kern,
and Watson won from Senator Taggart.
Sutherland in West Virginia defeated
Senator Chiffon. 1t has been charged by
the Democrats that negroes were colo
nized from the south in the states where
the Republicans triumphed by small ma
lorities.

They captured the strongly fortified VII
age of Beaumont Hame and st. Pierre
division and gained new ground which
already has reached depth of more than
a mile at one point. Two thousand prs
oners already have been taken to the
cages.
Severe fighting continues before Beau-
rt-Sur Ancre, ON the north bank OF
the river and on the high ground about
midway between Serre and Bequcourt,
west of the road linking those villages.
Notwithstanding the long prevailing
bad weather with almost continued rains,
the attacking troops made good prog
ress in No Mans Land, the mud having
partially dried in the last two days.
They were not impeded seriously by the
German machine guns.
The attack appears to have been sur
prise to the Germans.
South of the Ancre the British line
swept northeast to the river bank OPP
posite Beaucourt, cutting off the re-
naming fragment of the German posi-
tion around st. Pierre division, while
simultaneously Beaumont ?IIamel was
attacked from the opposite bank.
All positions of the Germans north
of the Ancre were of exceptional
strength, Beaumont Hamel equalling
Thiepval in the extent and security of
its labyrinth of dugouts. The German
engineers have been laboring constantly
for more than two years to make the
iefenses of this important part impreg
nable. There was profusion of con-
nected machine gun redoubts, elaborate
telephone and electric light system and
a great cavern capable of sheltering
of infantry

Berlin, via London, Nov. 1.-THE stub

The Attack Was Carried Out
Along a Five-Mile Front,
and in Some Places the
British Penetrated to a
Distance of a Mile - AL
most All the Objectives
Were Seized

With important ground in fve-mile
front already won from the Germans on
the northern edge of the Somme region
and across the Ancre brook in northern
France, the British are fighting on in
their new offensive. London officially
confirms the capture of Beaumont-Ham-
Ell, one of the strongest points of the Ger
man defensive. British troops stormed
this position and further south advanced
to the edge of Beaucourt-s t-surAncre.
Apparently the British are not relay
ing tkeir pressure now that they have
succeeded in materially sharpening the
salient in the German line by their ad-
vance up the Ancre valley, as London
says the battle is continuing. Mira
mount on the Albert Bapaume railway
and ultimately Achiet- lie Grand, an i'm
portant railway junction point north
west of Bapaume, seemingly are the
British detectives.
On the eastern front in the Carpathians
the Russians appear to be holding their
own, Petrograd reporting the repulse of
Austro- German attacks in this region.

London, Nov. l4.-The number of pris
oners taken by the British in the fighting
on the Ancre sector of the Somme front
is now over 1000 according to the Off.
rial statement to-day. The capture OF
Beaumont -Hamel, reported unofficial
was announced in to-day's statement.
There had been no serious fighting in
the Ancre sector since the opening of
the British push on the first of July
when the British line of attack extended
ave miles north of the Ancre to Gomme.
court. But after a few days, no prog
ress being made in this region, efforts
were henceforth concentrated farther to
the south. Apparently the Germans were
taken by surprise and they offered no
serious resistance except before Serre.
The attack was carried out over front
extending five miles on both sides of the
Ancre against positions which the Ger
mans had held for two years and which
they regarded as impregnable. The posi-
tions north of the river are described as
Of extraordinary strength. Beaumont
Hamel equalling Thiepval in the extent
and security of its dug-outs.
This latest British advance in coniunc-
rtion with that on the Schwaben LeSars
lin has threatened the development of
Miraumont on the Albert-Arres railroad
From unofficial reports yesterdays at
tack appears to extend along a front of
nearly 5000 yards from the Grandecourt-
Pozieres road to point considerably
north of Beaumont -Hamel. In this area
The British line has been advanced at
some points 1000 yards and most of the
British objectives have been gained.
A bulletin issued last night by the
British headquarters in France reads:
eve attacked this morning astride the
Ancre and have succeeded in penetrat-
ing the German defenses on front of
nearly five miles. The strongly forti-
fed village of st. Pierre division has
fallen into our hands.
The attack was delivered before day
break in a thick mist. Severe losses have
been inflicted on the enemy; over $500
prisoners have passed through our col
lecting stations already and more are
coming in. The fighting continues.
'The front which has been captured
north of the Ancre consists of the Ger
man original front-line defenses of an
exceptionally strong nature"
