BIG GERMAN ATTACK
MAKE SOME GAINS
LONDON, Oct. 10.—A dispatch
from Haig at noon today says that
strong Gorman attacks wore launch
ed this morning with powerful ef
fectiveness against the positions
wen by the Anglo-French armies in
yesterday's terrific lunge in \\ er,'.
Flanders.
The report says that all were ic
pulscd except routn of Ypres on
the Staden railway where the Brit
ish were forced to fall hack a short
distance.
1ARI3. Oct. 10.—Regardless ot
the enormomus sacrifice of 'non en
tailed in their counters the German
driving counters were exerted toia>
with every possible weight in the
form of massed infantry attacks
again and again lepeated on the
British and French gains in West
Flanders. The British south and
cast of Ypres were obliged to g>ve
back five bundled yards along a
half mile strip of the gains made
the preceding day.
LONDON, Oct. 10.—Great F-i
tain has begun commandeering all
the guns in the United Kingdon.
Xo reason is given for this step.
LONDON, Oct. 10.—Another her. .’j
rainstorm broke over Y'est Fland
ers today practically stopping fight
ing just at evening fall.
Airmen report that the Germans
are moving artillery far to the retr
of their present locations.
Hardly any replies came back
to the British artillery fire this
evening this confirming to some
extent this report.
RADICALS CONTROL
COONCIL PETROGRAD
I'ETROGKAD, Oct. 10.—The most
important political news in the af
fairs of Russia just now is the vic
tory of the Bolschiviki radicals
(extremists) over the Menschiviki
radicals in the control of the Exe
cutive Committee of the Soldiers
and Workmen’s Council delegates.
The latter are the moderate or
socialdemocratic elements which had
been in favor of co-operating with
the cadets or constitutional demo
crats.
Since the rccert elections the vic
tory of the Bolschiviki was practi
rally foreseen, the radicals gaining
, everywhere.
| The most important consequence
j of this victory is that the element
in control deposed Tschedidze as
president of the executive council
and elected the maximalist Trosky,
one of the most inveterate and most
irreconcileable of the socialists, to
that position.
Trosky is regarded as the ablest
of all the Russian socialists and lias
from the first, been a strong op
ponent cf the policies of Kerensky
in this respect of supporting the
coalition government. Trosky has
again and again insisted upon a po
licy of no compromise and
insisted that if you gave
the capitalist parties an
inch they would take a mile. Trosky
was the man who forced Milukoif's
downfall and is a tremendous anti
clerical, revolutionary socialist. Re
markably enough he stands opposed
to a separate peace with Germany,
in opposition to the anarchist
Lenine.
You’ll get it right in the Worker.

Hiram Johnson in the progressiva

was preparing tor a gigantic battle.
The report had it that the Ger
mans would meet the navies ot
Britain, France, Italy and the
Fnited States in an impending

ROTTERDAM, Oct. 10.—An un
challengeable authority, according
to evening papers here, says that
a mutiny of serious proportions has
broken out in the German Grand
Fleet at Wilhelmshaven.
Little details accompany this
story which is thus claimed to he
so authoritative.
Border dispatches confirm the
repeated reports that many nmti
nous outbreaks are occurring,
among the German troops at the
front.
The reported mutiny at. Wilhelms*
