LONDON, Oct. 1 Success by the allies In a aeries of desperate fights for the possession of Dunkirk was claimed by the official war Informa tion bureau this afternoon. The struggle began, It was said, with a drive ugiilnxt Iunklrk frum the outhward by General Von Boehm, the Oermun commander. Thla ut tempt wax repulsed. Reinforced, the Germans started for the coast . second time, moving northwest from LHle by way of Rt. Omer. The British, outnumbered, retired slowly before the German advance. At Pt. Omar, however, a large Trench force joined the British and there upon the allies resumed the offen sive, the Germans retreating beyond Armentlerea under a vigorous attack. The upshot of all this fighting waa that the allies finally restored their former line, extending from the coast, a little to the west of Ostend. to the southward through Armentlerea and Arras. This means that in their op erations against Dunkirk, the Ger mans will be compelled to throw s direct fronts! attack against the strongly entrenched and well-manned line of French, British and Belglsns. It was said thnt Indian troops un der the British banner took part In the latest fighting, performing bril liantly. The war office pronounced the gen. eral situation as much Improve!.

I In her efforts to Injure Senator Chamberlain politically Miss Virginia J. Arnold, representing: the Congres sional Union for Woman Suffrage which is attacking Oregon's senior senator on the grounds that he is democrat and in spite of the fact that he has been a champion of equal suf frage for over 30 years, met with flat failure in Pendleton. She called a meeting for Saturday evening in the parlors of the Hotel Pendleton and only four women and one man .every one of whom was a strong pro-Cham, berlaln worker, attended. Not knowing the nature of the meeting other than that It was for suffragists. Mrs. Carl S. Wheeler, one of the officers of the local Political Equality League, Induced Mr. and Mrs. C S. Terpenlng, her slater, Mrs Alice Keith and her niece. Mrs. Fred Laatz, to accompany her to the hotel parlors. There they met Miss Ar nold and they were the only persons who appeared all evening. When they learned the lady's pur po.e he they were at nrst amazed end then indignant. For two hours they held a warm discission with her and so familiar were they with the fiaht which Senator Chamberlain has made for many years for the enfran chisement of women that they had the' isitr on the defensive mos-t of thei time. Her only argument was that the national .democratic administra tion had failed to give the women of the nation the vote and that Presi dent Wilson should be shown that the women have a voice if not a vote. How the defeat of the man, who in troduced in the United States senate an amendment for the enfranchise of women and who stood for equal suf frage in his home state since 1880, could advance the cause she could not show satisfactorily to her small audience. Miss Arnold spent the entire day Saturday circulating about the city, passing out literature and advertis ing her meeting. The attendance of only five persons and all those staunch Chamberlain supporters, waa Pendletons' rebuke to the misguided women who, in the words of Dr. An na. Howard Shaw are Showing them selves not only unjust and ungrateful but are committing "political trea son and a moral crime." PAUI3, Oct. 19.
