TRENCHES TAKEN BY

Germans Tell of Success on
Somme and of Repulse of
Enemy's Attacks.
THREE 'TANKS' DESTROYED
Allies Say ' Western Army Is Per

Preventing Sending of Forces
to Roumanian Front.
BERLIX, Oct. 20. (By wireless to
Eayville, N. Y.) The greater part of
the trenches on the road between Fau
rourt L'Abbaye ana Le Barque, which
were captured by the British on Octo
ber IS, were retaken yesterday by Ger
man troops in an attack, according to
the official statement Issued today at
the German army headquarters.
Attempts made by British detach
ments to advance last night north of
i'ourcelette and east of Le Sars, the
statement adds, failed.
In the last great attack against the
German positions on the Somme region
the British used several tanks," and
three of them were destroyed by the
German artillery lire, the statement de
clares. LONDON, Oct. 20. The Germans on
the Somme front are prevented from
tending: men to aid in the Austro-Ger-nan
attack against Kou mania, accord
ing to Maior-General V. is. Maurice,
thief director of military operations
of the War Oftitfe, who today discussed
with the American correspondents the
objectives of the Anglo-French offen
sive. This provides a temporary feature
of the ententes objective in the west,
as the entente commanders feel that
while the situation in Roumania can
not be considered a crisis, it is serious.
and that the best assistance the west
ern armies can give is to prevent, as
they have done thus far, the dispatch
of any reinforcements to General von
Falkenhayn.
General Maurice declared that Ba
paume and 1'eronne cannot be consid
ered objectives in the usual sense of
that term. The capture of these cities,
lie said, may be expected as a result
of the present offensive, but their fall
could not be considered a decisive suc
cess of the operation. It is planned
to drive such a wedge into the Ger
man lines that attacks can be made in
three directions against the expanded
hostile battle front.
Ultimately, it is hoped to carry these
advances so far that a breaking1 point
will result. The Germans, said Gen
rrsl Maurice, may shorten their line
before this happens, but such an out
i-onie is always kept In view by the
entente's staffs in planning- future ad
vances.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY NEAR
COMBLES, via Chantilly. Oct. 19.
(From a staff correspondent of the
Associated Press.) Fifteen minutes of
infantry fighting proved sufficient for
the French army to capture the strong
position of Sailly-Salllisel from the
Germans and to give the entente allies
command of five miles of the Bapaume
road.
The allies' air mastery deprived the
Germans of their eyes; consequently
the German artillery fire was ineffect
ive, both in an endeavor to destroy the
opposing batteries and in an effort to
prevent reinforcements and supplies
from reaching the attacking forces
through a curtain of fire.
The Associated Press correspondent
watched the fighting from beginning
to end from a hillock near Combles.
The fire from the British and French
guns had continued for a long time.
The infantry officers had synchronized
their watches and were ordered to de
liver the attack exactly at 11:45 o'clock-

The moment arrived; the range of the
artillery which had been battering
Sailly-Salllisel was increased a few
hundred yards; the Infantrymen's heads
appeared over the parapets: then in
dashes the men covered the short open
space, throwing bombs, and within a
quarter of an hour rockets sent up
showed the airmen observing from the
clouds that the position had been won.
The airmen flew rapidly to the field

back the news.
Meanwhile, hundreds of German can

toward Sailly. They shelled often wide
of their mark, except in Combles. which
sustained the heaviest kind of fire for
several hours. Then the Germans tried
to silence the French and British bat
teries, but their practice was so poor
that the entente allied gunners were
able to continue their work uninter
ruptedly.
Allies Themselves Surprised.
The Germans had announced that
Sailly-Saillisel was impregnable in an
order to the troops, and Its rapid cap
ture, therefore, came as somewhat of a
surprise to the allied commanders. One
Bavarian and two Prussian divisions
participated in the defense, showing
the importance of the attack on the
position. Despite this, the French ad
vanced even farther, occupying also the
shoulders of two hills to the north
east and northwest of the village, giv
ing them virtual control of any counter
attack from the strongly organized
German position at Sallllsel.

RESINOL PROVED
WONDERFUL FOR
ITCHING ECZEMA
Fib. 23. "I had a chronic case of
eczema on my bands for about three
years. It got red in places, especially
between my fingers, and when I'd rub
them a little, pimples or blisters would
form which filled with water. The
longer I had this trouble, the larger
these pimples got. I can't express in
words what a terrible thing it was.
I couldn't find anything to help me
everything seemed to make it worse.
I had about given up all hope of ever
being cured. They were terribly sore.
and I could not sleep for the terrible
Itching and burning. I learned of
Reslnol Ointment and Reslnol Soap and
decided to try them. Well. Reslnol
really proved to be a wonderful thing
in my case. It relieved at the first ap
plication. I used about a cake of
Reslnol Soap and half, a jar oi
Ointment and the eczema was all gone.
It hasn't returned since. I am so glad
I tried Realnol Ointment and Reslnol
Soap, as I do not know how I could
lave stood that eczema much longer.
It is a cheap and sure cure." (Signed)

M'ARTHUR CHALLENGED
Replying Specifically to Oppo
nent, A. W. Lafferty In
vites Joint Debate.
Public School Auditoriums Sug
gested, and Time From
Now Till Election.

TO THE VOTERS:
Unable to sav a word in his own be
half. C. N. McArthur is rushing fran
tically over this city telling the people
that I was inattentive to my duties
when In Congress.
Deliberate Attempt t Dcerlre.
McArthur attempts deliberately to
deceive the voters by confusing calls of
the House with rollcalls. I did not fail
to vote on a single roll call upon an
Important bill during my four years'
service. It remsins for Mr. McArthur's
"secretary" to find at this late date
that I did not attend to my duties.
Who "is McArthur's secretary? I have
been told that she Is, or at lesst was
last Spring, a lady from Virginia and
not a resident of the state of Oregon.
Present More Than Colleaames.
I challenge Mr. McArthur. or his "sec
retary" to deny this specific statement:
During my last session In Congress I
answered more roll calls than did either
Hawley or telnnotl. my two colleagues
from this state. Pearson's Mapailni
for November. 1315. sums up all record
votes for that session and confirms
what I here say. Any voter may
come to my office and see the book.
During the short time that I was ab
sent in the Summer of 1914 I was in
Portland working on my brief In the
O. & C. land-grant case. I was the
only Oregon lawyer who even appeared
In the case In the Supreme Court. There
were seventeen volumes of the printed
record to b- briefed and digested for
the court. The work I did on the case
will do more good for the people of
Oregon, If I shall be re-elected and the
lands opened to settlers, than all that
McArthur has done or ever will do in
or out of Congress.
MrArthar Absent la Maine.
Considering McArthur's work anJ
votes on the O. & C land-grant case
and the Adamson eight-hour law. It
would have been fortunate for the peo
ple of Oregon if he had absented him
self from all roll calls and all sessions
of the House. Therefore. I do not ob
ject that he absented himself the past
Summer while he was supposedly
making Hughes speeches In Maine and
while tie was attending the stand-pat
convention of machine politicians in
Chicago. While McArthur was in Chi
cago Sinnott put the Sherman County
settler bill through. While I was In
Congress 1 procured the first favorable
report ever had on the Sherman County
settler claim, and it had then been
ponding over ten years.
Timber Grabbers Elected McArthur.
McArlhur makes no answer to my
claim that this district received the
largest appropriations during my serv
ice In the state's history. He makes
no answer to mv charge that Frederick
A. Kribs and other millionaire timber
speculators elected him two years apo
and renominated him last May. He can
make no answer.
I hereby challenge McArthur to Joint
debate In the public school auditoriums
from now till the election. McArthur
will not dare accept this challenge.
