Advance of the Allies
Declared Wonderful
in Face of Great Odds

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM. October Io-The blow
struck by the British and French
forces against wide section of the
German defenses between the Houtholst
forest and Broodseinde resulted in an
other great success. over much of this
front the attacking troops swept for
ward to a depth of 1900 yards or more,
overrunning many important strong
holds of the shattered enemy. Yester-

forest the British We're beyond Poel-

German Organization Hit.
Again the German losses have been
great, and reports from all along the
line indicate that their organization
and morale were hit hard. I
1t has been another wonderful per-
formance on the part of the allies and
the victory has been more remarkable
because of the tremendous natural diff
fculties to the advance. The rain OF
two days had turned much of the bat
tie ground into a morass. through which

Losing Hold on Ridge.
The Germany tenancy of the doms
inant ridge east of Ypres is nearing
an end. The British yesterday cap
tured further sections Of the ridge in
the direction of Passchendaele. and
British guns now dominate that part
still in German hands, as well as the
railway centers Of Staden, Roulers and
Menin. and the railroad between Rou-
lers and Menin.
One more stroke. perhaps two, and
the Germans must bow before the su-
perior power of the allies in Flanders
and retreat. Should the Germans re-
tire to the line of Bruges-Thielt-Cour-
trai-Lille they would relinqufsh their
hold on the greater part of the Belgian
coast now used by them for submarine
bases. Their retirement to this line
also would make a sharp salient nortn

that stronghold and retreat to Tournals

went over the crest of the Passohen-

pelle fell into British hands and a con-
siderable advance was made between

POLO GROUNDS, New York, October
l0.-The New York Giants, having exc
cuted, as they declare, strategic re-
tirement to prepared positions on the
Polo Grounds, found themselves today
confronting the Chicago White Sox in
the third game of the world series. The
champions of the National League had
their backs to the wall to ward off the
onrushing pennant winners of the
American League, who have captured
two straight games and need only to
annex two more to win the honors of
the series.
An early turnstile count indicated
more than thirtyfive thousand persons
jammed into the vast concrete and
wooden stands of the Brush Stadium,
with more coming while play was under
way.

McGraw Talks to Men.


Manager McGraw realized the handi-
cap his club was under and had a few
tart things to say to his men in the
clubhouse before the contest. The
Giants hoped for a few breaks in the
game to get them started.
A threatening morning cleared to-
ward game time. A wintry. rasping
wind scudded across the field, and
while 1t made the fans shiyer with the
cold, it swept away great banks of
leaden clouds and there was a cheer
when the sun broke through and blue
sky appeared. Later the breeze began
to drop out. The playing field was
unblanketed and Groundkeeper Henry
Fabien reported that the diamond was
in good shape. though the outer mead
ows were somewhat slow.
Band Entertains Crowd.
The early crowd was entertained by
a brass band. Over behind the Chicago
bench several hundred Chicago fans
made merry with gibes at the so far
luckless Giants. In this they were as
sisted by body of the Royal Rooters
OF Boston, whoA having no series of
their own. came over to New York to
pick on their ancient foes. the Giants
The Giants received big hand when
they came on the field, led by Jim
Thorpe and George Burns. Hans Lobert,
utility infelder, went to the pitching
mound and threw up the balls for early
batting practice. OF his straight ball
pitching Kauff and Thorpe drove long
delight of the crowd. Sallee and Schupp
took part in the practice, and 1t was
figured that either one or the other
would surely face the Sox.

Not Annoyed by Pickets.

Coming down to the pickets. Mr.. Hop
kins' letter to Representative Webb
says:
The President stated to me he had
never at any time objected to the pick
cts, nor had they annoyed him. He ac-
cepted my statement and took il as his
own, that the sixteen pickets had not
violated any law and We're absolutely
guiltless. He criticised the judges in
PRODUCTION of the Russian banner into
the trial as quite out of place and vol
unteered the statement that he, the
President, did not consider this ban
ner was either reasonable or sedi-
tious."
Mr.. Hopkins made the statement that
the President realized that the only
way to cure the unrest was to pass the
Susan 3. Anthony suffrage amendment
However. it was not a part of the war
program.
Mr.. Hopkins told Chairman Webb
that the spirit of unrest is increasing
and that Congress can do much to allay
this feeling by enacting the suffrage
amendment "as direct evidence that
we are earnestly seeking true democ-
racy."
