Victory in East—
London. Oct. 28.—The Germans
have Undertaken a general offensive
•long the line extending from • the
mouth of the river Yser on the North
aea to the river Meuse and while
they have forced the allies to give
ground in some places they them
selves have lost position in.others.
This, briefly, is what is gathered
from tonight's official French and
German reports on the war.
Today’s German attack was par
ticularly severe in the west, where
their right wing, strongly reinforc
ed. attempted an advance against
the Belgians holding the allies’ ex
treme left. This left rests on the
coast and is supported by English
and French warships and by Anglo-
French troops, which form a front
extending from a point somewhere
in the vicinity of Dixmude south
ward to Labasae canal. Both aides
claim successes, but * the French
alone admit that in places they have
fallen back.

Generally, however, there is lit
tle change in the situation. the

Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and
Representative Henry of Texas told
the senate and house it was apparent

Representative Henry predicted that
congress would be converted in
extraordinary session by the mid-
lie of November, when the fight
could be resumed. Senator Smith
Introduced a resolution for a $250,-
©00,000 government bond issue to
• uy cotton and declared: »
* “We have done all we could for
the suffering people of the South.
We have had our day in court for
this session and I would have no ex
cuse for further flUbusterlng at this
time. I shall feel that 1 have don©
y duty by simply voting against
the adjournment resolution.”

l»ers of the house to Investigate con
ditions in the South an a result of
the xottpn crisis was appointed bv
