Assail Foes Lines on
Two Roads TO
Bapaume.
FRENCH AGAIN AIM
AT COMPLIES
Draw the Net Tighter
Around PerOnne
Highway.

London, Sept. 24-The British and
French troops resumed the attack on
the Somme front to-day. Operations
were confined TO local assaults, the bad
weather conditions making general
offensive movement impossible.
While Haig's troops swung forward
to the attack near Courcelette, with
the purpose Of extending their lines
toward Bapaume, on the road from Al
bert, Foch's forces assailed the enemy's
positions at two points on the Peronne-
Bapaume highway, near Rancourt and
Bouchavesnes. Thus the attack is pro-
ceeding along the two main arteries
leading to the Allies primary objective
north of the Somme.
The latest blow Of the French aims
to bring their lines further TO the
northeast Of Combles, and thereby cut
that stronghold completely of. Untii
Combles falls to the French, the Brit
ish can attempt no further advance
near Ginchy or Flers for fear Of flank
attacks. Northeast IF Ginchy the Ger
mans are in strong force at Les Boeufs,
from which point they delivered pow
erful attack to-day, which, however,
broke down under the raking hre OF
the Allied guns.
It is becoming increasingly evident
that Hindenburg has decided to with
draw every man possible from tne
Somme front in the hope of securing
success in the East, which the German
field marshal has always regarded as
the key point of the whole European
battle line. II Hindenburg orders TINS
transfer of troops or a retirement 70
shorten his lines on the IVES. front the
general commanding the operation
must have more skill than Napoleon
himself. The latter almost failed ana
was not hindered in any way by the
work of the aviatoTs. who car now re-
mort every movement made by tn, en-
emy's troops.
Frequent raids by the Allies on en-
envy positions show that they are
searching for some sign Of the eX-
pected German withdrawal, ami at the
same time probing for weak spots on
which to centre strong attacks. Both
the British and French forces are IN
excellent position to infict severe dam
age on the Germans once they attempt
a retirement from their present lines.
The artillery battle is growing more
violent every day. The renewed Cften-
siye Of the Allied troops will take place
as soon as weather conditions permit,
and observer here believe it will re-
suit in the most sweeping advance Of
the entire battle ia PicaUy.

A WoMAN's OPINION.
II Wont on Resord a. Decision Of the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
"All the justices Of the supreme
court wear gowns Of black SILK" says
Francis <. Leupp In Walks About
Washington" John Jay. the first
chief justice, relieved the somber mo-
notony Of his by adding collar bound
with scarlet. but the precedent was not
followed. The court has sometimes
been styled the most dignifed judicial
tribunal in the world. and doubtless 1t
deserves the compliment
The arguments made before 1t are
confined to calm. Unconditional reason
ing. The pleaders do not raise their
voices or forget their manners or In
dulge in personalities or oratory while
debating, and the opinions Of the court
are recited with quietness almost
conversational. These opinions are
very carefully guarded up to the mo-
ment they are read from the bench. but
now and then. after decision has be-
come history. there leaks out an enter
tanning story of how 1t came to be rem
dered.
such an instance was In the case OF
an imported delicacy which might have
been classed either as preparation Of
fish or as navoring sauce. The Gus
toms officers had levied duty on 1t as
n sauce. and an importer had appealed.
The Justices. when they came to COM
pare notes. confessed themselves sore
ly puzzled. and one Of them suggested
that since the technical arguments
were so well balanced 1t might be wise
to fall back upon common sense. That
evening he carried sample of the dis
puted substance home to his wife. who
was an expert In culinary matters.
There. my dear said he. Is sauce
for you to try
with one look at the contents Of
the package. which she evidently rec
ognized. she exclaimed: 'Pshaw!
That's no sauce; that's fish. Didn't you
know itT
THE next day the court met again
for consultation and on the following
Monday handed down a decision over
ruling the customs officers and sustain
ing the importers appeal"
