Ualt received constant ovations. All the way from the railway station to the National League ball park they were applauded by crowds. At the park they had difficulty in making their way through throngs which the police apparently could not keep back.

Mrs. Gait talked ex citedly to Mayor Blankenburgr in the adjoining box when Philadelphia tied the score in the fifth inning. Cheering: Crowds Pill Street.

They were cheered almost con tinuously during the ride back to the station, where another throng had Rathered. The President shook hands with each member of the police detailed as his escort and also greeted the sta tionmaster. As the train pulled out he and Mrs. Gait stood on the observation platform waving their farewells. MR. WILSON IS PRAISED Lents Grange Hears Address on War In Europe.

PART OF TRENCH GAINED British Field Marshal Says His Men Have Made Advances of Between 500 and 1000 Vards Ta-n-ure Hill Kesi6t Assault. LOSDOV, Oct. 10. Repulse of German attacks in mass and wave formation, with heavy losses to the Teutons, on the western battle front are reported In Saturday's official dispatches. Inces sant, but relatively minor, activity is reported in many other sections. The German attacks referred to were made In the vicinity of Loos. Field Marshal Sir John French In his report tonight of the British participation in this affair says: The enemy vesterdav heavilv bom barded the whole area we had recently won from blra and followed this by an attack in successive waves of Infantry on the whole front from south of Loos to the Hohensollern redoubt. This at tack was repulsed everywhere, with heavy lossto the enemy. We gained possession by a counter attack of a German trench 600 yards west of "Cite St. Elie. Great numbers of the enemy dead are lying1 In front of our trenches. Our losses were comparatively slight." Demae Formation Mowed Dowsu The French official report issued today from Paris says: "The reports of last night set forth that the German losses, in the offen sive movement undertaken yesterday against Loos and the positions to the north and to the south or Loos actu ally held by our troops were heavy. "The assault wae made by three suc cessive and dense formations of men. followed by detachments in column for mation. All these troops were cut down by the combined fire of Qur in fantry, machine guns and artillery. "Only a few detachments of the Ger mans were successful In securing a footing in a trench recently conquered by us between Loos and the roadway from Lens to Bethune. Other local at tacks, but equalling these In violence, have been repeated against our posi tions to the southeast of Neuvllle St. Vaast, but th-ay were completely re pulsed. All the progress made by us in these last few days has been main tained.' Sir John French also reports gains in the tenritory held by his men, saying: "Since my occupation on October 4, the enemy has constantly shelled our new trenches south of LaBassee Canal and has made repeated bombing at tacks on the southern portion of Hoh ensollern redoubt, which is held by us. These attacks were all repulsed. "In spite of the enemy's artillery fire, we have pushed our trenches steadily northeast of Loos between Hill TO and Hulluch. and gained ground varying from 600 to 1000 yards in depth." The report Issued late by the Frencn War Office says that a strong German counter attack against the Tahure Hill was repulsed and that in Lorraine the French succeeded In regaining a trench which they had lost to the Ger mans yesterday. The communication says: "A violent bombardment on both sides occurred today along the whole front In Artois. Demonstrations by the ene.ny, consisting of artillery and rifle firing at the five roads to the east of Souches and on the Aisne near Godat. were arrested by our barrier fire, and were not followed by any in fantry action. "In Champagne we completely re pelled a counter attack against the Tahure Hill and dispersed enemy con centrations who appeared to be pre paring for a irew attempt. "Struggles with bombs and torpe does have been In progress In tho Ar gonne in the region of Four de Paris, on the heights of the Meuse. at the Ca lonne trench and at Les Rparges.
