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!.

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. The allies con
tinued to push back the Germans in
northwestern France toward the
northward, an offifcial war office
statement declared this afternoon.
EeUIun forces. It was said, had suc
ceeded in driving the kaiser's troop
as far as Houlers, 13 miles northwest
of Courtal.
The French and British were ad
vancing toward Llll siid were re
ported to have encountered a strong
German opposition In the vicinities of
La Basse, Ablaln and St. Nazare and
compelled literally to fight their way
from "house to house."
Ten days Incessant fighting was
said to have taken place about Arras
and a desperate German counter at
tack was reported to have been re
pulsed at Caulnes.
