 More Actual Votes
 Although the republicans of the house are in the minority, they cast more actual votes on seven great war measures than the democratic ma jority was able to do. What is the record of the senate? On fifty one Toll calls on war measures between April $, 1917, and the 29th of May, 1918, the votes cast by republican in favor of such measures were 72 per cent, while only 67 per cent of the votes cast on the democratic side were in favor of such measures. Those were the prest- dents own measures. Does that re- cord look as if we had hampered him? The republican party in congress has supported the administration policies since the war with unanimity and an absence of criticism unprecedented in party history.
 Should Undoubtedly Differ
 There ore some domestic ques- tions where we should undoubtedly differ from the course pursued by the administration. We should not, for example, fix price on the farmers wheat and leave the planters cotton untouched. Another domestic ques- ton in which the republican party be- lieves thoroughly is economic prepar- ation for the coming of peace and they are clearly of the opinion that the con-
Arizona republican., 1918-10-26

Sress of the United States should not be excluded from that great task.
 "Not Presidents War"
 This is not the presidents per sonal war. This is not the war of congress. It is not the war of the democratic or the republican party. It is the war of the American people. It is more. It is the war of the United States, of the allied powers, of the civilized world against the barbarian of Germany In this great burden and responsibility the republican party representing more than half the citi- zenship of the country demands its rightful share.
 If the republican party is entrusted with power in either, or both houses, they will do everything possible to drive forward the war and hasten the day of victory.
 "The president speaks of the neces- sity of telling the plain truth. That the republican party in control of con- gress would do. for they have no friends to shield. And they will do more. They will give all the money to the last dollar necessary to sustain our armies and our fleets, but they will check the waste now going on of the l money given by the most generous people on the face of the earth.
 Europe Understands The president speaks of the effect of the election abroad. He says there they understand the meaning of cleo tions. They do. and they will know that if the republicans have a majority in congress. the war will be pressed

BELGIAN
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

PARIS, Oct. 25.-The operations of the army groups in Flanders continue favorably. On the Belgian front the enemy has shown some activity with artillery and ma chine guns.
 This morning on the French right and the British left in local attacks between the Lys and the Escault river east of Courtrai, the French troops, in spite of stubborn enemy resistance, took the Zulte plateau and are in the outskirts west of Zulte. Afterwards they conquered the Blaunpoort farm and advanced their front on the road between Waereghem and Anseghem. British troops have captured Engoghem and Ooteghem and have continued their progress toward the Escault.
 "Archangel front: Oct. 23: The enemy after artillery preparation which lasted for six hours, attack ed the allied positions south of the Dvina. The attack was re- pulsed, an allied counter attack drove the enemy back southward. Fifty men were put out of action and three machine guns were taken from the enemy"

with greater vigor than ever before. They are quite aware that the power of the senate is equal to that of the president in the consummation of peace by treaty. They will know that the republican party stands for vic torious peace and the overthrow of Prussian militarism. That knowledge will not depress the spirit of our allies or encourage the government of Ger many.
 Surrender Unconditional
 "The republican party believes that the question of surrender should be left to Marshal Foch, to the generals and to the armies in the field. When they report Germany has laid down her arms the United States and the allies should then impose their terms. Will that knowledge cause dejection to those who are fighting with us? All the world knows that the republican party is opposed to negotiations and discussions carried on in diplomatic notes addressed to the German govern ment. The republican party stands | for unconditional surrender. There | is no republican creed so short that there is not room in it for these two words.

 PARIS, oct. 25.-The French to- day advanced their lines at all points, despite the most stubborn resistance of the enemy. More than 2,000 prisoners with cannon and machine guns were captured, according to the official statement issued by the war office tonight.
 The communication shows that French patrols have crossed the Danube river, invaded Rumania near Lom Palanka, defeated Ger man attachments and taken pris- oners.
 The statement follows:
 Between the Disc and the Serre our attacks are continuing with success. Our troops have greatly increased their advance north of Nillers lie Sec and have taken the Ferrieres farm. Between Nillers- le-Sec and the Ferrieres farm we have taken strongly organized po- sitions despite the resistance of the enemy, who counter attacked vain ly several times. Up to the present we have counted 800 prisoners.
 "On the Serre front we have suc- ceeded in crossing the river and between Crecy and Mortiers have established ourselves on the north bank of the river on a width of more than one kilometer.
 East of the Souche, violent combats gave us important advan- tages. We have advanced our line in the neighborhood of Caumont farm, east of the Vesle, and the vil- lages of Caumont and Pierrepont are in our hands. We have counted more than 250 prisoners.
 During the day the battle as sumed an extremely violent char acter. Between Sissone and Cha teau Porcien this morning, after strong artillery preparation, our troops, supported by tanks, at tackled the powerful organizations of the enemy that oppose us in this region. To the left we succeeded in making some progress in the woods around the Sissone-La Selve road.
 ITO the east We have conquered by hand-to- hand fighting St. Quen- tin Le Petit and have reached the road connecting this village with Banogne and Recouvrance and the southern outskirts of the latter place. The hamlet of Recouvrance is in our possession.
 "On our right we have penetrated the enemy positions along Conde- les-Herpy and hill 145 and have taken a footing in the Herpy mill In all this region the enemy re- sstance was particularly stub born. We took more than 1000 prisoners and captured nine cannon and numerous machine guns.
 East of Bethel we have com pleted our success of this morning in the region of Ambly and Fleury. One hundred and five prisoners, of whom six are officers, among them a chief of battalion, have been counted"
 Army of the east: On the Dan- ube in the region of Lom Palanka there have been artillery duels. The fire of our batteries damaged an enemy monitor.
 In the course of incursions on the north bank of the Danube French patrols have inflicted losses on German attachments and taken prisoners.
 Serbia: On the front of Para cin-Karalievo allied forces con- tinue in pursuit of the enemy, who is retreating to the north. Two hundred prisoners have been taken"

AMERICANS CLOSE
 DAY WITH PROGRESS
Republican A.P. Leased wire1

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN. oct. %. -(By The Associated Press, 8 D. m. J. From day Of extraordinarily severe fighting, the Americans emerged to- night slightly in advance of the posi- tions they held yesterday. The gains made are slightly, but are regarded as extremely important. especially on the left where the higher ground dominat- ing much of the surrounding terrain has been gained.
 There has been comparatively little change in the position on the center but the American footing in Belleau wood east Of the Mouse was more se- curely fixed, Notwithstanding the de- termined efforts of the Germans to force the Americans back.
 Drive Way Forward
 The fighting for positions just be- yond Belleau woods began at o'clock this morning when the Americans drove their way forward. At daylight the Germans counter attacked and since the failure of that operation have launched three other attacks, equally unsuccessful.
 On the extreme left. the gains made by the Americans left them at the close of the day on the ridge extending from d line through the Bougogne woods.
 Clouds and ground mists reduced aerial activity to a minimum, but artil- lery, employing both high explosives and gas projectiles in enormous quan- titles was used by both sides Besides the artillery reaction at points where the offensive was in progress the Ger mans devoted much fire to the back areas and that portion of the front about Bantheville. where the American line was advanced slightly.
 Decide to Fall Back
 Despite the desperate resistance of l the Germans and their apparent inten- tion to initiate a counter offensive in formation falling into the hands of the Americans continues to indicate an enemy withdrawal to the Briquenay line, one informant declaring 1t to be the intention of the Germans to with draw to that position between October [ 95 and 31

 Force Thoroughly Efficient
 This training, combined with experi- ence gained in handling heavy projec- tiles and powder charges at the naval proving ground. Secretary Daniels said, made possible the obtaining of a thoroughly efficient force.
 Details of the construction of the guns and the part they have played in the victories on the western front have been withheld for military reasons.
