DESPERATE COUNTERS
SOMME RIVER LINES
LONDON, Oct. 16.—A German
attack occasioned desperate counter
assaults by the British who took
many hundred prisoners and every
yard of the redoubt overlooking
Grand Court. It is now impossible
for the Germans to retain this posi
tion although the Germans are still
offering a hbavy resistance.
LONDON, Oct. 16.—General Haig
reports that the strong German li
quid fire {.tiecks upon the Sebwaben
redoubt v ere all heavilv repulsed
by the British and the British,
countering, drove the Germans be
yond their own trenches.
BERLIN,, Oct. 16.—The Great
General Staff announces that fifty
three British and twenty-two French
planes were destroyed by the Ger
mans during September.
BERLIN, Oct. 16.—Small British
gains in the vicinity of Grandcourt
are admitted by the General Staff.
PARIS, Oct. 16.—A general re
sumption of the offensive is now
I marked along the entire front bj
the Anglo-French troops. East
and north of Combles on the new
French positions the German count
er attacks wrere repulsed and the
French gained several hundred
yards of trenches. Above Grand
court one of the most important ob
jectives, the British took the great
redoubts which had been held by
the enemy. Bitter fighting is now
proceeding two miles from Bapaume
which is well defended by a concen
]
trated force of Germans.
WAR INTENSIFIES ON
RUMANIAN FRONT
LONDON, Oct. 16.—The war si
tuation is intensifying around Ru
mania where the Teutons and Bul
gars are trying to crush that nation.
The Teutons have broken through
the Gymes Pass, invading north
western Rumania and are attempt
ing to drive southward to Tergochiu,
the terminus of the railroad to Cra
jova.
The Rumanians are also retreat
ing to within their own borders
along the Bukowina Carpathians,
but are vigorously countering in
southern Transylvania where they
have broken the German lines com
pletely. They are driving westward
on the Transylvania foothills and
endanger the army that has moved
to control Gymes or Vulcan pass.
General Avescu is himself com
manding the Rumanian center
! which is driving down opposition.
' It is a dangerous piece of strategy
' and its efficiency is doubted owing
to difficult communicating lines.
BERLIN, Oct. 16.—A heavy re
sistance upon the part of the re
inforced Russians is stubbornly con
testing the Teuton advance in Do
brudscha. The country owing to fall
rains is proving a difficult one to
fight in.
SOFIA, Oct. 16.—Bulgars and Ru
manians have artillery exchanges all
along their Danubian front. In
many places the Rumanian guns
have been silenced. It is not be
lieved that the Rumanians will ever
again attempt to pontoon the river.

HUGHES RAPPING AT
TARIFF AND LAROR
* HASTINGS, Neb. Oct. 16.—Gov
ernor Hughes spoke here today. He
rapped the tariff and the eight hour
law. He denounced what he called
legislation under pressure. He men
tioned pork and chimed in a bit
about the foreign policy. His re
marks were directed against Wilson
solely. He refrained from making
any promises as to what he would
do in the eveyf. of his being elected.
LONG BRANCH, Oct. 16.—Presi
dent Lovett of the Union Pacific
and President Underwood of the
Erie having given the eight hour
law official approval and an endorse
ment of the Wilson administration
is the best news yet, say the Wilson
lieutenants. It indicates that the
more substantial interests are real
ly backing Wilson. There is now
great optimism in the democratic
ranks.

STRIKE IS SETTLED
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.—The
strike in the Union Iron Works is
now over with all employees orga
nized under the Iron Trades Council
jurisdiction.

the independent Shipwrights agreed
to join the American Federation ot
Labor and send delegates to repre

U BOAT QUESTION IS
DISCUSSED REIGHSTAC
BERLIN, Oct. 16.—The Imperial
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs
says that the United States is no
longer a party to any submarine
controversy, although Germany was
unwilling to accept the present
status of the question. The sinking
of the Bloomerdijk was not to be
laid at German doors without furth
er investigation, and the right ot
compensation was witheld pending
the disposal finally of the matter.
Germany would not molest Span
ish fruit steamers if the Allies per
mitted equal shipments to Germany.
The Norwegians, he understood,
were balking at the British regula
tions and requests with reference to
the German U boat activities as in
compatible with the neutrality of
the nation. The Norwegian
government felt that it overstepped
the bounds of international law.
BOSTON, Oct. 16.—Lake, the
inventor of the submarine says that
Germany can blockade the United
States ports to end the war and ho
predicted the arrival of the Deutch
land soon on another trip. He said
that Germany at the present timo
was engaged on the gigantic task
of constructing three hundred mon
ster submarines which would render
the modern navies of cruisers and
dreadnaughts guite useless.
Lake just arrived from Europe.

ALASKA STEAM SHIP CO
PLANS NEW MERGER
SEATTLE, Oct. 16.—The fight for
the control of the coast and inter
coastal trade between the Alaska
Steamship Co. and the Pacific Steam
ship Co. is to be a battle of giants
It is stated that the Alaska
Steamship Co. is now staging a
counter merger to the Alexander
coup in the absorption of the Paci
fic Coast Steamship and other lines.
.Manager and Vice President
Baxter of the Alaska line who has
just returned from the east, it is
announced, has negotiated for the
purchase or long charter of the
liners Great Northern and Northern
Pacific running from the Great
Northern terminal on the Columbia
river to San Francisco, and said to
be the finest passenger steamers on
the Pacific coast. This deal alone Is
said to have exhausted two million
dollars and others equally import
ant are pending. Baxter refuses to
talk.
The new liners are splendid mo
dels of fast, two funnelled, twin
screw turbined oil burners and are
by far the fastest on the intercoast
trade. The Alaska plans to dupli
cate in its entirety the routes of the
former Pacific Coast Steamship Co.
and a battle royal between the two
new mergers is foreseen in shipping
circles.
Both sides will have ample capital
backing them.
