A quick and definite

likely today after a sudden

Unofficial Armistice
The unofficial armistice which
had existed to q large extent on
the fighting fronts for the last few
days was broken, the French re-

There were indications that the

Paris, October 10. - (UP)
- Strong German patrols
were hurled at the French
lines all yesterday afternoon
and throughout the night
and were repulsed every time
with hand grenades, it was
announced today. The Ger
mans made desperate but
futile efforts to capture
French prisoners. French authori-
ties believed the high command had
ordered prisoners taken at almost
any cost, presumably If they could
be questioned about the strength OF
the French lines.
Meanwhile, artillery battles swept
the whole front. The Germans had
been Smelling constantly for 70
hours, trying to locate and destroy
French gun emplacements. Big
guns of the Siegfried Line, far back
of the front lines, had been brought
into action, 1t was reported.
1t was the most intense fighting
of the five weeks war and the
French believed it might be a pre-
Jude to big German assault.
The German patrols fought hard
est east of the MoSelle River and in
the Saarbrucken sector. They
charged thereafter having been re-
pulsed in the Ohrenthal sector,
southeast of Zweibruecken.

The Democratic town committee
faced perhaps the most important
meeting in its history tonight as in
fuential party members sought to
effect a peace agreement between
the organization and the reorganiza-
ton group led by State Chairman
]. Francis Smith. AS observers re-
ported settlement likely, Corpora
ton Counsel Vincent Scully issued
a statement announcing that he
would be available as a mayorality
candidate if a "reorganized town
committee and the Democratic
party" desire him to run.
Settlement OF the dispute over
reorganization of the town commit
tee seemed likely as the momentum
of Senator George T. Culhane's
candidacy for the nomination
brought the realization that only
a union of the organization and
Smith forces can defeat him in a
primary.
Peacemakers Busy
Peacemakers were this afternoon

False Alarm Report On
Presidents Mediation
Trial Balloon Test of Public Sentiment Shook Capital
for Couple OF Hours-No Test, No Media
ton Even Considered
BY LYLE c. WILSON

Washington, Oct. 10.-Up)-The
capital is recuperating today from
a false alarm report that President
Roosevelt was making a trial bal
loon test OF public sentiment on me-
diation of the European war.
1t was a great story while it lasted
about two and one-half hours
During that time the report reached
the congressional galleries, rolled
through Wall street and had Wash
ington reporters incredulously ask
ing each other who's lonney now?"
The facts are that there was no
trial balloon and that Mr.. Roose-
velt's attitude toward mediation has
not materially changed in the past
few days. What happened was this:
An executive branch official who
conducts regular press conferences
was asked yesterday whether the
United States had been asked to
mediate the war. He replied that
he did not know. But he said that
if he were the official of some other
government - German's-he might
suggest to newspapermen that the
time had come for some big neu-
trail power to mediate and that such
a spokesman would ask newspapers
to circulate the idea as trial bal
loon.
Capital Grabs Rumor
There was some misunderstanding
among his hearers and one or more
of them left the conference believ-
ing that the reference to mediation
and a trial balloon represented the
attitude of this government The
capital shortly was flaming with the
report.
Just such a trial balloon" if it
may be called that, already is cir
cuating from Berlin in the form of
