LONDON, Oct. o.—The German
fortes evidently had inn massed
for a series of offensive attacks on
the Flanders front. In addition it
is now certain that the (T rmnn ar
tilery UEdci Prince Rupert Ba
varia iiad been, reinforced with
numerous of the iuo.-l powerful
puns at ih disposal of the Ger
mans.
The bombardment which has
with intermittent violence taken
place along the entire Flanders
front has been greater than any
reported since the determined Ger
tr.uit attack upon the Somme front
when endeavoring to drive back the
British from IVronnc and BapauhSe
Tlic infantry attacks wire most
(1- termini d and power!'til, hut they
could not reach the barriers placed
against their advances by the Brit
ish before they melted under the
terrific machine gun fire of the
Britisii forces.
The German leaders had hoped,
apparently to exhaust the British
machine gun ammunition and to
prevent further supplies reaching
t he ft out lines by : heir intensive
barage fire et shrapnel. It: this
tin y fell short ol their < al'-ulations
for every assault was marked b>
the same ceaseless rattle of ma
chine guns that denied approach Ic
the first lines of the British.
The details coming oat are it;
the usual!; laconic reports of Haig
and no correspondence so l'ar has
been allowed pass through from any
other than official sources.
NEW LOA
TO MAKE HEADWAY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 3.— |
Secretary M’Acloo has no reason to
be dissatisfied with the initial re
sults of the second Liberty Loan
campaign which began on Monday
last.
The great drive is being carried
out along well designed lines,
drawn up following the experiences
acquired in the first Liberty Loan.
The fact that the original loan
is quoted something above par is
helping out the success of the pre
sent offer.
WASHINGTON. I>. ('., On. 3.—•
There was no report emanated
l'rcm the Rules Committee relative
to the Lafollctte, Stone and Gronna
impeachment.
While the actions of these men
are not endorsed by their confreres
in the Senate, the inadvisability of
curbing the actions of senators in
perfect freedom of expression is
said to be recognized by all.
While no effort is made by some
of these to defend the senators who
have been complained of, lest in
timidating influences might afl'< rt
the indi pendem•:> of utterance upon
tin- part of members of Congress,
as a matter of privilege, it is likely
that the matter will he adversely
reported upon.
WASHINGTON, D. Oct. 3.—
With the understanding that the
bill as reported by conference will
become law, the departments aro
now making ready to adopt the
schedules and to co-operate for the
collection ot the various taxi's under
the new law. It will necessitate a!
large increase in the ofiicial sctds
of the treasury department.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.—Thu
news has just leaked out that Pre
sident Wilson intervened to save
Tom Mooney's 1 ion .nay titli of
tliis year, or six lays before the
day fixed for the Tttrder. The
President’s intervention was prob
ably dictated by the demonstration
of the workers o: Felrograc in

An old philosopther envies the
success of a popular novelist, au
thor of “Three Days’’. He write a
book on a new religion, the foun
dation of which is Enjoy life, over
look no pleasure on acount of the
fear of eternal damnation”. Every
one reads the book, including his
daughter and son, who follow the
ideas written by their father. From
this point the action is terrific and
the terrible results of the publish
ing of the hook, is stupefying. And
when the climax is flashed on the
screen a sigh of relief will follow.

ican mission was then its coutem
platiou, and no doubt the Presi

that the mission meet the Russians
with clean hands. And so the news
was conveyed to Russia that
Mooney was not hung on perjured
testimony as the Russians had been
led to believe and that the whole
thing would he thoroughly investi

The news ot' President Wilson's
intervention was kept very secret,
probably because its publication
would have helped in the exposure
of the frame-up. I its publication
now is more accidental than any
thing else, and is bound to have a
