?TAKE THE OFFENSIVE i
j IN DOBRUDJA REGION;
Germans' Fight Desperately!
; on Somme Front and !
Hold Allies Back.
I After a week or more of dmim ??nn- i
' cerning operations in the Dobnulja i
region of Rumania, where the Teu-:
tonic allies had been marching almost
unimpeded northward from l lie Cluck
sph to the Danube, comes ihe report,
that the Rumanians have taken thej
defensive, probably aided by Russians,
and compelled the enemy to retreat;
at several points.
On the Trausylvania front the Ru-|
manians iti the .Jiul valley, who for
sometime had been holding the upper j
hand over the Austro-Germans, tore- j
ling them to give ground, have now;
been stopped, the Teutons having!
brought up reinforcements. In the!
Predeal Pass region, after heavy fight- j
ing tiie Rumanians also have met withj
a reverse, being compelled to retreat j
alter long and stubborn battles.
All along the battle line in France
between the Somme and Ancre rivers1
the Germans are tenaciously disput-i
iai: ait- in, -its by the It ri t Is h and
French t*? 'rain timber ground. Her- '
lit; says that in Sunday's fighting overt
a front ot twelvy miles i lie French,
and British suffered heavy casualties
and won nothing except a local gain!
in the St. Pierre Vaast wood. London
admits that the British were* com
pelled ro give back to the Germans
ground the British had previously
won at the Butte Do Warlencourt. In
the St. Pierre Vaast wood, the French
Monday made a further advance in
the northern part of the wood and
captured additional prisoners ? six
hundred of whom were taken in the
.fighting of Sunday and Monday,
i Bring Up Reinforcements
: Rome reports that the Austrians are
. bringing up heavy reinforcements on
the battle front north of Tries*. Here
the Austrians apparently have taken
the offensive but nowhere have they
been able to regain any of their lost
positions, according to Rome. j
Bombardments and small infantry
! attacks continue to feature the fight.-]
\ ing in the Macedonia theatre.
I London reports that a British sub
? marine in the North St-a off the Dan- 1

HAVE HORSES AND
AMMUNITION HIDDEN
Carranza Has Big Force at
Chihuahua City and Will
Not Evacuate.
F.L PASO. Texas. Nov. 6. ? Francisco j
Villa and his main command are i
marching toward Mesa De Sandias, 35
miles southwest of Parral, where a
quantity of ammunition and arms and f
a largo drove of horses are known to
be hidden for the Villa forces, accord- !
ing to an American refugee from Chi- J
huahua City. These are hidden in the;
ranch of General Tomas Urbina, the j
Villa general who was killed by Villa i
troops because he would not divide his[
loot with Villa.
It was in the direction of Mesa De j
Sandias that Villa was going when he
was being pursued by Major Tomp- !
kins, who was subsequently attacked j
by a erowd of civilians in Parral.
Can Hold Chihuahua.
CHIHUAHUA CITY. Mex., Nov. 6.? |
Evacuation of this city by Carranza j
forces is not being considered, and if j
an attack is made by the Villa bandits '
the garrison will repulse the bandits, i
General Jacinto It. Trevlno declared to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press yesterday.
"We have more than 8.000 seasoned
fighters in the garrison here, and our [
fortifications are impossible to over
come without heavy artillery, which '
Villa does not possess," General Tre- '
vino stated. "We are prepared for an j
attack, and my men are ready to fight j
to the last. The spirit, of the men is ?
unbroken, and I am determined to re- 1
main in Chihuahua City and repulse;
the bandit horde."
It is expected the junction of the i
Carranza forces at. Escalon, south of i
Jiminez. will be accomplished to-mor- !
row. when the forces of General For
tunato Maycotte. those of General Do- {
mingo Arrieta, another column under j
Geral Murgia. and the forces from Par
ral. under General Luis Herrera will
meet and form a division in command ,
of General Murgia. The offensive
against the Villa bandits then will be
resumed. It is expected General Mur

CLOSES CAMPAIGN
AT MARHNSBURG
Scores Watsonism as Em
bodied in the Cornwell
Candidacy.
Special I'lispitcli to tli? Intclltgrnrcr.
MART1NSHUUG. \\\ Va.. Nov. r.?
"Tonight after nine weeks of contin
uous travel among the people of W^t
Virginia I close this campaign confi
dent. of success. The constructive
policies of the Republican party wlii.-h
have made West. Virginia to be know n
as a great state, working at all times
toward human betterment, will be ap
proved by my election as Covern.ir.
Watsonism, which according io the
testimony of sterling Democrats once
corrupted a legislature, cannot corrupt
the people. Our State's motto shall bo
more manifest by this election and our
Mountaineers shall remain free from
invisible rule and selfish domination. '
With i he above confident, and en
couraging words, Judge Ira E. Robin
son, Republican nominee for governor,
tonight brought his campaign to a
close with a speech here. Ii would be
fitting to say that the campaign closed
in a midst, of glory, for it was one of
th<=> most enthusiastic and the biggest
political meetings ever held in Martins
burg. The large Apollo theatre would
not hold the crowd, so many who
wanted to hear Judge Robinson were
denied that privilege because they
could not get near enough the doors
of the building.
Charges Unanswered.
The Judge again called attention to
the failure of the Democrats to answer
his campaign charges when he said:
"From the beginning of this campaign
I have charged Watson is a candidate
for governor through his proxy, John
J. Coniwell; that Cornwell's candidacy
for the nomination was conceived by
Watson and promoted by him: ihat
Watson censored Cornwell's public
statement announcing his candidacy,
and that the association of Cornwell
and Watson, which began in 1'Jl.l, by
Cornwell's active assistance in elect
ing Watson to the Senate, still con
tinues. Notwithstanding these charges
by me. the Democratic machine has
made no denial, for they cannot be
denied. Just as Watson dominates a
city and a county: just as he by se
cret power has acquired dominance
over the Democratic party against its
desires: just as lie subdues labor, all
by silent, hypnotic influence which
does not at any time consider the com
mon touch, so he seeks to rule the
State which our fathers founded for
our mutual welfare, and. just as < 'orn
well was the willing servant of special
interests in the Stale Senate when I
was a member of that, body with him,
so he must yield to the beck and direc
tion of the promoter of his candidacy
and the sole dominator of a great po
litical party."
Government of people.
"Attain I sa> mountaineers arc al
ways free men. Our eyes are open ti>
our rights. West Virginia shall remain
a government of the people and for the
people. A brotherhood shall continue
to exist nnder the name of the State
without iiislinetion as to the rights of
individual elass or soot Inn." I rloso
iliis eampaicn with a eonseinusiiess of
.my dene. I close it with an assurance
that my appeal to defend the h.wne land
ami against sinster inthienet-.s will he
I-, spoil' led to and that the doctrine of
i ijiia I rights to all and special privileg
es in none, the embodymctit uf our e<>n
iiiiutiou. shall continue."

to elect a complete State ticket in ad- {
dit Ion to governor and United States
Senators. There also will be chosen a I
new Congressional delegation and aj
State legislature.
Foecasts to-night of the result to- 1
morrow depended upon whether the |
person who made the prediction was aj
Democrat or a Republican. Both sides J
agreed that the tide would be turned ;
for the national ticket by those who j
voted as Progressives four years ago. .
The combined Taft and Roosevelt vote j
in 15)12 was 815,580, as compared with i
?r>5.:*7:? for Wilson.- In Greater New j
York, which the Republicans concede :
will return a Democratic plurality this ,
year, the Taft and Roosevelt vote to- 1
gether exceeded by that cast fori
Wilson.
Claims- Denied.
While the Republicans contend the!
greater part of those who supported
Roosevelt four years ago will swing to '
Hughes this year, the Democrats scoff
at their claims. It was asserted at:
Democratic State headquarters that aj
careful canvass of every county in the
State indicates that serious inroads ?
will have to be made by President'
Wilson mi the normal Republican plu- j
rati ties up-State, and that the Demo-'
eratic plurality in Greater New York |
will more than offset the Republican j
lead down to the Harlem river.

The Deutschland Today
NEW LONDON, Conn., Nov. (j? ?
Count Von Bernstorff, the Gorman am
bassador. accompanied by his wife, ar
rived here tonight from Washington,
for the purpose of visiting tomorrow,
the under-sea freighter Deutschland,
now being loaded for ht}r homeward,
trip. The Ambassador, it is -under
stood, brought a suitcase filled withi
official mail for the Emperor. Vice
President Hilken. of the Eastern For
warding Company, met the party at
the railroad station and conducted
them to a hotel, where they remained
over night. ?
Count Von Bernstorff said his er
rand is entirely a social one. He de
cided to take advantage of Washing-*
ton's official fliactivity on election
day, he said, by giving the Countess
an opportunity to inspect the Deutsctu
land. ;
The Ambassador and his wife wera
guests tonight at an informal recep^
tion at their hotel attended by Cap
tain i'aul Koenig, the Deutschland's
commander, and a number of German
Americans of Baltimore and New Lon
don. Tomorrow afternoon the Coun
tess will be taken behind the etata
pier barricade, which the public may;
not penetrate and will be shown
through the submersible as Captaia
Koenig's guest.
The Ambassador said that as he vis
ited the Deutschland while she lay at
Baltimore, after her first trans-At>
Ian tit: voyage, ho was undecided
whether he would at this time make
another inspection. He and the Coun
tess plan to take a late afternoon train,
tomorrow for New York.
The work of loading the submarine
went forward steadily today and in
dications continued to point to a start
for Germany on Friday.
Arrangements have been completed
for a complimentary banquet here
Wednesday night to Captain Koenig
and his crew. Governor Holcomb has
promised lo .make an effort to be pres
