By William Philip Sims.
Paris, Oct. 26. A savage onslaught
by the allies' right was being made
on the kaiser's front today in the hope
of forcing the Germans to moderate
the fury of their attack In northwest
ern Belgium.
This, at any rate, was the interpre
tation generally placed on the news
of desperate fighting in the Woevre
and Argonne districts.
The Teutonic forces succeeded in
getting across the 'Yser by transfer
ring their Bavarian troops from their
left to the extreme north and hurling
them, together with their army al
ready in that field, supported by fresh
levies from Berlin and Cologne, against
the allies' wing.
This weakened their left, however,
and the allies promptly took advan
tage of it by directing a terrific as
sault against that part of tha kaiser's
front.
Warships Clear Coast.
A atrip of coast from three to five

Claim of Republican Senator

Falsification, 'Says Wall.
"When Robert A. Booth says that
the jury, when he was tried in the fed
eral court in the land fraud cases, ac
quitted him on the first ballot, he de
liberately falsifies. He has no excuse
or defense for such a statement."
F. H. Wall of 688 Lambert street, a
member of the Jury that passed upon
the Booth case, made the above asser
tion this morning. Mr. Wall is a mem
ber of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic, a former hardware dealer of Sell
wood, and at the present time is a pre
cinct committeeman for the Repub
lican party.
He intimated, however, that he will
not vote for Mr. .Booth for United
States senator, partly because of the
misstatement that the latter has re
peatedly made regarding the trial
during the present campaign, and part
ly because of the evidence that was
brought out against Mr. Booth in the
trial of which he was a member of the
Jury.

first ballot why should be have stayed
in the Jury room nearly 24 hours?" Mr.
