VIOLENT FIGHTING BOOTLESS Paris Reports Severe Battles, but All Are Indecisive. PARIS, Nov. 6. The following off! clal communication was Issued by the French War Office tonight: "To the north the fighting continues to be severe. According to the latest reports our offensive was proceeding in the region to the south and east of xpres. "In the region of Arras and from Arras to the Oise several German at' tacks have been repulsed. "In the region of the Alsne we have retaken to the east of Vailly the vil lage of Soupir, which was lost the other day. "In the Argonne the enemy keeps at tacking violently, but without results. "On the heights of the Meuse and to the east of Verdun we have captured some trenches." The official report of earlier In the day Bays few changes have taken place. The text of the report is: "There was no perceptible modifica tion during the day of yesterday any where on the front. The fighting con tinued between Dlxmude and the Lys with the same characteristics as pre viously, and without any marked ad vance or retirement at any point. There was violent cannonading to the north of Arras, and also directed upon Arras, without result for the enemy. "The German effort in Belgium and In the north of France continues. The Germans seem to have undertaken changes In the position of their forces, which are operating in this region and ere reinforcing their reserve corps, composed of new organizations which have been very severely tested, with active troops, with the idea of under taking a new offensive movement, or et least to mitigate the bloody checks which have been inflicted upon them. "Between the Somme and the Oise and between the Oise and the Meuse there have been minor actions. We have consolidated our advance on the village or Anaecny, to the west of Roye. A column of German wagons has been destroyed by the fire of our artillery at long range, in the region of Nam- poel, to the north of the Forest of Aigue. "Near Berry-au-Bac we have retaken the village of Sapigneul, which had been captured by the Germans.

"To the northeast and to the east of the Grande Couronne of Nancy the chain of fortified positions surround ing Nancy), in the region of the For est of Perroy, and between Baccarat and Blamont, our advance posts have been attacked by mixed detachments or the enemy, whose movements every where were checked."

In a dispatch dated at Fumes, West Flanders, Belgium. correspondent of the Petit Parisien eays: "King Albert came here personally to congratulate a regiment of Turcos which retook the village of Ramsca pelle last week from the Germans. . Ramscapelle was of vital importance. It opened tho way to Furnes and its possession by the Germans might be or disastrous consequences. "Overwhelmed by numbers, the Bel gians holding it had been forced to fall back and It had to be recaptured at all costs. The French infantry at tacked the town from two sides and at first were successful, but the enemy recaptured it. Tnree times the Ger mans were driven out and three times fought their way back. Then night ien, leaving tnem masters of the situa tlon. A v;oionei of the Turcos told his men that the village must be taken Immediately: it would be too late the next morning.

Fourth Floor NEAR-BEER IS PLAN Arizona Breweries Scheming to Offset Prohibition. amendment will not become effective January 1 on the uncertainty created by two sections of the prohibition measure. Section 1 provides that pro hibition shall become established by "appropriate legislation." SecCion 2 provides that the amendment shall be come effective. January 1. Anti-pro hibition leaders assert that an emerg ency act cannot be put through the Legislature as it would be constituted. The problem is almost certain to be thrown into the courts. ONE CONTEST CLOSE TIME ELEMENT UNCERTAIN Requirement of "Appropriate lgls- latlon" and Hostile Legislature -Almost Certain to Precipi tate Legislation. DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. B. On advice of counsel, some liquor men do not be lieve that the prohibition amendment voted in the state election Tuesday will go into effect January 1. Nevertheless saloonmen are preparing to move their establishments across the border Into Mexico. There are two breweries" in Arizona, one here and one in Prescott, in the northern portion or the state, but neith er will move or go out of business. They will manufacture a 2 or 3 per cent brew, or "near beer. i Saloon men base their belief that the SECRET BASE SUSPECTED Britons Think Germans in Pacific Are Receiving Supplies. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. The recent remarkable mobilization of German warships off the coast of South Ameri ca, with such disastrous results to an English squadron. has led British Embassy officials here to believe that some secret means of communication extends Into South. America, and that tne German ships operating in southern waters have been receiving supplies from somewhere on the Pacific coast of the southern continent. Many letters have been received by the Embassy offering, for various con siderations, information of - German wireless stations on American terri tory. Some tell of secret stations on the Pacific Coast, in Maine and in Scot land and South America.

SHAW ELECTED TO BENCH Proposed Bonding Measures Prob ably Adopted and Late Figures Assure Success of Redllght Abatement Law. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 6. Belated returns from Tuesday's election that came in today cleared up several doubt ful Issues on the state ballot and left undecided only the results of some of the less important proposed constitu tional amendments. Judge Lucien Shaw, with the report ing of several delayed Southern Call fornia precincts, obtained a-command lng lead over Judge Murphey in their contest for a place on the Supreme Court bench. This seemingly decided the last close contest between candidates on the gren- eral ticket, but in the Ninth Congres sional District the latest returns have developed & nip-and-tuck race between Charles W. Bell, the Progressive in ..mKAnt whn.A m.ltlon had been regarded as certain on the face of early returns, and Charles n. itanaau. demo crat. Only a few score votes separated the two late today, with Bell leading, and it appeared iikely that the official count would be necessary to determine the winner. Randall, besides his own party nomi nation, had a prohibition party Indorse ment, and the outcome of the struggle is eagerly awaited by the prohibition ists, who assert that if Randall wins they will have in the National House of Representatives an active champion or their cause. Bonding Propositions Adopted. An Interesting feature of the day's returns was the seeming certainty they brought that ali proposed bonding meas ures on the ballot had been adopted by large majorities. These Included the acts providing for state buildings at San Francisco, Los Angeles and Sacra mento, for State University improve ments and for a fund for State Fair purposes. Final disposition of the redllght abatement issue was made, the measure making such affirmative gains as to re move doubt as to Its passage. Option Hinges' on Local Vote. A municipality, supervisorial district or other local option unit which cast a majority vote Tuesday against the state-wide prohibition amendment. thereby itself becomes "wet" territory, under amendment 47. and remains so for eight years, according to a story based on a "concensus of opinion" and printed In the Chronicle to-day. The present standing of the city or district regarding local sale of liquor would make no difference, it is declared. That is, a "dry" district rejecting the state-wide amendment thereby becomes wet" for eight years to the extent that liquor licenses may be issued therein; a "wet" district, if showing majority for prohibition, automati cally becomes "dry" for the same length of time. The claims to this effect are based on subdivision 2 of amendment 47. Senator Thomas Wins In Colorado. DENVER, Nov. 6.
