British Advance North
And South Of Ancre
LONDON, Sept. 12.—Notwith
standing the ever increasing Ger
man force that is trying to prevent
them, the British are still advancing
north and south of the Ancre river,
righting continues heavy, but Haig
xeports that every day sees a Brit
ish advance of greater or lesser
length and that every rod gained is
successfully held.
BERLIN, Sept. 21.—A Staat’s
Zeitung special says that the Gen
eral Staff is now preparing the
greatest coup of the war.
LONDON, Sept. 21.—The heav
iest fighting of the war opened up
this afternoon along the entire west
ern front, when the British and
French again attacked the German
positions simultaneously. It is
raining steadily for the past twenty
four hours, but the advance is conti
nuing. Fierce fighting is taking
place east and north of Flers where
the British are passing wide sections
of the third line. The Germans have j
been making great efforts to with
stand these attacks, but miles of
trenches have been taken.
BERLIN, Sept. 21.—The General
Staff says that the British are on a
general offensive on the west with
but little gains being made, the Ger
mans hold back the big rush suc
cessfully. The heaviest fighting is
near Flers.

ATHENS REPORT CRETE
REVOLTED FROM KING
ATHENS, Sept. 21.—An Athens
dispatch today announces that a suc
cessful revolution has been effected
in the island of Crete with the estab
lishment of a provisional govern
ment there. The population of the
islands is three hundred thousand
mixed Turks and Greeks, but there
seems to have been a spontaneous
movement against King Constantine.
Crete is the birthplace and form
er home of ex-premier Venizelos
whose place is now so prominent in
Greek affairs. I
ATHENS, Sept. 21.—It will be
difficult to carry out the demands
of the pro-German papers here that
the rebels in the island of Crete be
put down with a firm hand. As they
have declared their adhesion to the
Entente powers it is highly improb
able that any landing of Greek
troops would be permitted by the
Allied warships. It is held here
that the later were long ago cogni
zant of the up-rising.
ATHENS, Sept. 21.—It is be
lieved that King Constantine, even
though Germany declines to accede
to the ultimatum of the Greek cabi
net, will leave the country if he can
not prevent war. This is the report
on the street at the present time.
The queen is getting ready to leave
now.

BULGAKS RETREATING ON
ALL FRONTS SAYS REPORT
LONDON, Sept. 12.—Evening re
ports show that fighting of the
heaviest kind is proceeding along
the entire western, Macedonian and
Rumanian theaters of war. The Cen
tral Powers and the Bulgars are
now having the tables turned upon
them without exception at every
center. The entire Bulgarian armies
are withdrawing upon Bulgaria
from every battle line, fighting des
perately all the time.
The most marked change in the
situation has been the set back
which Mackenzen has suffered in his
efforts to assault the positions near
the Constanza railroad, the Rus
sians successfully countering at all
points.
BUCHAREST, Sept. 21.—The ef
forts of the Germans, Bulgars and
Turks to drive forward to the Con
stanza railroad have been checked
after desperate fighting and the
situation is now in the hands of the
Rumanians and the Russians.
Fierce fighting in Transylvania
resulted in the defeat of the Aus
trians, the Rumanians taking five
thousand prisoners.
MOSCOW, Sept. 21.—Trainloads
of Austrian prisoners taken by the
Rumanians passed through here to
the Russian detention camps whicb
will hold them for the present.

PETROGRAD. Sept. 12.—The
Headquarters staff reports that one
thousand Germans were taken when
the Russians captured Sviniuchi and
also the Teuton positions east ot
Panther.
The Germans have retired a con
siderable distance.
LONDON, Sept. 21.—The Servians
continue their advance beyond Lake
Ostrava into Servia although they
have to fight their way all the time.
Their reports show that the battle
field beyond Lake Ostrova is being
scavenged by jackals, hyenas and
vultures which in great numbers are

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 20.—

The Servians find that many dead
when they reach them have been
torn to pieces by prowling jackals
and hyenas.
LONDON, Sept. 21.—The effort of
the Teutons and Bulgarians to drive
back the British from their ad
vanced lines across the Struma have
been a costly failure, the machine
guns of the British together with
the free use of shrapnel causing the
attacking forces fearful losses which
finally caused the Central Powers to
desist in their attempt. It is openly
admitted that the Allied advance is
now halted until Greece definitely
decides upon her part in the war.
ARMED MEN STORM
JAR. LYNCH PRISONER
OLATHE, Kansas, Sept. 21.—
Fifty armed men stormed the coun
ty jail here and lynched Bert Dud
ley a local farmer who was con
victed recently of the brutal murder
of Henry Miller and wife.
The men reached the residence
of Sheriff Carroll last night and
told the official that he had better
surrender Dudley as they were pre
pared to take him by force If neces
sary and he could not prevent them.
Realizing himself as helpless befor*
the armed band, who are said to be
ranchers, the sheriff turned over his
prisoner who w&b promptly lynched.
Gompers Faces Problem
In New York Strike
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—The most
helpless man in the present strike
appears to Sam Gompers who hates
to see organized labor take any ra
dical step to secure the demands ot
the tractionist workers and their
right to organize.
Violence is increasing and the
traction companies are preparing to
demand the militia although they
have all the police help they re
quire. and the night stick men are
notoriously favorable to the strike
breakers.
Shonts says that under no circum
stances will be change his position
of unalterable opposition to recog
nition of the union of the traction
employees.
Gompers says that he is trying to
arrange an honorable peace, the si
tuation he describes as “horrible”,
but he “is doing everything in his
power to aid the men”. Neither side
however is showing any signs ol
wavering. A Citizen’s Committee of
eight businessmen and Mitchell and
Strauss have been conferring since
three o'clock this afternoon and are
still hard at it.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Member
H. J. Regan of the State Board fo
Arbitration announces that his
Board will enforce arbitration hear
ings in the strike situation begin
ning on Monday next. Reagan says
that it is time to change the slogans
of both sides to the “Public Must
Be Protected”. He believes that
by mutual concessions they will bo
able to effect a settlement.

DEFENSE RESTS TRIAL
OF WARREN RULINGS
SAN FRANCISCO, Sejt. 21.—
Counsel McNutt this morning said
that he has every confidence in
proving the innocence of Warren
Billings who is charged with being
the man who plotted the bombist
plot which killed many on-lookers
at the preparedness parade in this
city. He said that he is also certain
of the acquittal of Mooney and wife.
The state made no case against any
of them and is trying to railroad
them on their ra\ieal record.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.—Hav
ing introduced evidence tending to
show that it was impossible for
Billings to be guilty of the act
charged against him, and proving
the mistaken identification of the
man, the defense rested and the pro
secution took an adjournment this
afternoon. Unless the State can in
troduce additional evidence against
Billings his acquittal now seems cer
tain.
The newspapers however are still
persisting in the man’s guilt, anil
are trying hard to have him con
victed.
The charge made by McNutt that
the police being unable to discover
the perpetrator of the crime, they
with the aid of detectives built up
the case against the accused, seems
to have been correct.
The break down of the state’s
identification of Billings was the
worst breach in their chain of police
i evidence.
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21.—
Newspaper men freely admit that
they are at sea over the election and
declare frankly that they dont know
where they are at. The cocksureness
for either Hughes or Wilson marked
both sides earlier in the game is
now marked by its absence.
So close is the line up that the po
liticians are doping out how much
to a fraction of the progressive vote
will Hughes get, will Wilson re
ceive and will the socialists take
away from both.
For the first time the socialists
are being conceded some attention,
just because the number of votes
they poll may be the reason for the
defeat or victory of Hughes or Wil
son.
The scramble to get labor’s sup
port upon the part of Hughes since
he left for his campaign of the
more important northern states is
Stoves, Phonographs, Beds, etc.,

] mistake he made in Nashville and
yesterday at Lafayette he tried to
make the amende honorable.
Meantime the republicans charge
Wilsonites with framing up the
railroad trouble to pull off a coup,
which stunt would practically se
cure Wilson a job lot of half a mil
lion votes from the railroad em

from press clippings to drive home
his stand.
He concluded by declaring that he
was labor’s best friend. Said he ire
closing “I am a friend of Labor,
who is not? All the laborers rich
and poor in this country must go up
or down together”.
The inference is that Judge Hughes
regards himself as a horny handed
son of toil himself.
