"NATIONAL PARTY"
' BEING ORGANIZED
New Political Amalgamation of
Five Groups Under Forma
tion in Chicago is Christened.
Chicago, Oct 5. The new politi
cal party still in process of formation
was christened the "national party"
at last night's conference of the five
groups which are seeking amalgama
tion. The i 'ans are necessarily tem
porary and must await formal ao
proval by the governing national
bodies behind the participants in the
conference.
It was said that the plan decided on
called for the election of a temporary
national executive committee at once
consisting of four members from each
of the five groups represented in the
Chicago conference the progressives,
prohibitionists, single taxers, social
democrats and independents.
The conference also adopted a ten
tative platform, in which a demand
for t bone-dry nation was emplia
sized. Other names for the new party
which were considered were liberal
people's, commonwealth and union.

GREAT VICTORY
(Continued from Taia One.)
peror had taken such pride in the
davt srone bv. But these massed
troops were not the only ones to suf
fer, for reports trom prisoners an
along the line indicate that the Ger
mans lost heavily throughout the ter
ritory involved.
At many places Germans ran in
terror or were captured in large num
bers as the British attack began. AH
day streams of broken prisoners
poured into the British cages in the
rear. Perhaps half of them were
wounded. Some were blinded and
some were with shattered limbs, a
pitiful tight even to those hardened
to such scenes.
Taking the battle as a whole, the
Germans offered weak resistance to
the British advance. But, despite the
heavy blow dealt to the enemy, it was
not considered improbable that they
would make strenuous counter at
tacks as soon as they could, reform
their shattered forces.
Earthquake of Artillery.
The story of the fighting is that
of perfect organization, which
worked with clock-like precision. It
was still dusk when the British began
the steam-roller advance, for low
hanging clouds blanketed the country
and a tight drizzle was ailing. For
davs an intense bombardment had
been maintained over the' German
front, but the artillery fire which
opened as the great barratre dropped
was appalling. Guns of all calibers,
from enormous howitzers to light field
guns, joined in the infernal thunder
which shook the countryside like an
earthquake. Solid lines of vivid fire
belched from the earth, and from the
murky sky above the great shells
and shrapnel burst along the German
lines. The ruins of the little hamlets
perched on the ridges stood out in
ghostjy silhouette against the flashes,
and over the whole scene the clouds
threw back a crimson blow.
On the left of the advance the
ground in the region of Poelcapelle
was well garrisoned, but apparently
did not offer strong resistance. The
British were within reach of the town
by 10:30 o'clock.
Take Over Gravenstafel Ridge.
Meantime others ware making their
way over Abraham heights, near
Gravenstafel. There was some cellar
fighting here, but it was brief. The
main trouble was encountered near
the fort, where the Germans had eight
strong concrete redoubts. Sharp
fighting followed, but the Germans
finally were forced, with rifles and
bombs, to surrender. Both Poelca
pelle and Gravenstafel are masses of
ruins.. The latest reports show the
British have swarmed over virtually
all of the Oravenstafcl ridge.
South of the Ypres-Roulers rail
way, which cuts the Passchendaele-
Gheluvelt ridge where the Gravensta
fel arm joins it, the British were on
the crest of the ridge or beyond it
through the remainder of its length
They had little trouble in reaching
it There was a brief battle near Mo
lenaarelsthoek crossroads, which
were fortified. Just north of here
the Germans held a farm, from which
they poured heavy machine gun fire
into the Ur.tish ranks until the place
was subdued.
Germans Cling to One Point.
Prisoncis were secured in Polder
hoek and the chateau near there was
carried after sharp fighting. Joist
farm, near the southeastern edge of
Polygon wood, which had been a sore
spot to the British for days, still held
out at the latest reports, although the
British had pushed beyond it on both
sides. This was the only snag of the
kind encountered as far as is known.
Broodseinde, which lies on the
ridge, was the approximate center of
the day s attack and here was the
deepest point of the advance. From
this village the line tapered off gradu
ally to the north and the south.
Ihe assault was delivered by Eng
lish, Austalian and New Zealand di
visions. Included among the British
troop were battalions from twenty-
eight English counties. There were
also two battalions

ORDER INQUIRY OF
LA FOLLETTE SPEECH
Subcommittee of Senate Privi
leges and Elections Commit
tee to Investigate Alleged
Disloyal Remarks'.
Washington, Oct. 5. A formal pre
liminary inquiry into the alleged dis
loyal speech of Senator La Follette
of Wisconsin, made before the Non
partisan league at St. Paul, Minn., a
fortnight ago, was ordered today by
the senate privileges and elections
committee. ' 1 . '
Appointment of a subcommittee of
five members was directed, with au
thority limited, first, to inquire into
the reported correctness of Senator
l a Follette's speech, and, second, into
the correctness of the statements made
therein.
The limited scope of the inquiry
was regarded as temporary action
upon numerous petitions presented
to the senate for the Wisconsin sena
tor's expulsion. The subcommittee,
which probably will be appointed
during the day, and will be headed
by Senator Pomerene of Ohio, was
ordered to report at the December
session of congress.
Will Not Investigate Stone.
The senate committee took up pe
titions charging Senator Stone of
Missouri, chairman of the senate for
eign relations committee, with dis
loyal statements and acts and de
cided that the charges made did not
warrant any investigation of the Mis
souri senator.
The senate committee's decision
was reached after a two-hour session
and with a speech in the senate by
Senator La Follette . impending. The
subcommittee was authorised to re
quest authority to. employ stenog
raphers and make other necessary ex
penditures, indicating .'that , formal
hearings may be . had,x with possible
examination of witnesses at St. Paul.
The resolution for, authority to
make the subcommittee inquiry and
for its general authority was sched
uled to te brought before the senate
later today and many thought 1t
would be the basis of sharp debate in
connection with the proposed speech
of Senator La Follette replying to the
charges of his critics'. '
The; subcommittee expected to
hold a preliminary meeting late today
and berin its inquiry next week. The
general expectation was that public
hearings- would be held at which Sen
ator La Follette would be given an
opportunity to be heard.
Senator Pomerene made it plain
that the subcommittee's authority is
limited jolely to the St. Paul speech
and does not extend to any other
actions or charges against the Wis
consin senator. , ,, .
