WAR SUMMARY

Apparently the Franco-British forces on
the Somme are preparing to close their
grip on Cumbles, the important town SlN
miles northwest of Peronne, which has
been virtually surrounded 10y the allies in
their recent operations. Last night the
French war office reported the capture OF
a small fortified position and some trench
sections north of Combes and today it an
nounced that French patrols have pene-
trated still nearer the edge of the town.
ON the French front south OF the town
the artillery is active.
The Greek situation continues complex.
\ belated Athens despatch reports that
definite proposals have been made to the
entente. acceptance of which will insure
the entry Of Greco into the war. Former
Premier NcnizeIos, strong partisan OF the
entente, is quoted as saying that if the
government does not act the nation must
do so. The revolutionary fever is report
ed spreading, but a mutiny on one of the
ships Of the Greek navy is declared to
have been quelIed.

Bay State, From Boston, Hit
Rock off Cape Elizabeth
This Morning
PASSENGERS RESCUED
BY COAST GUARDS
Accident Thought to be Due to the Fact
that Lightship Had Been Moved -
Vessel in Dangerous Position and May
he Inst

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. %. The
Eastern Steamship Corporation passen-
ger steamer Bay State, bound from
Boston for Portland. went ashore on
Halyeomb rock just off the tip Of Cape
Elizabeth during heavy fog early to-
day. The 80 passengers were taken
of IN life boats and dories and the
steamer lies high and dry in danger
out position.
The coast guard cutter Ossipee and
the tug Portland, notified by wire4ess,
FASTENED from Portland to the assist
ance of the Bay State, but as the
steamer was pounding heavily it was
thought advisable to have the passen-
gers removed by the crew Of the Cape
Elizabeth coast guard station.
The point where the vessel struck is
half mile southwest of the Two
lights. A few hours after grounding
the steamer commenced blowing out
her boilers and it appeared probable
that her bottom had been punctured
and that water had reached her fire
| room. 1t was feared She could not be
| saved.
The Bay State was sighted Approach
ing the rocks BY one Of the. coast
guard crew IT $50 clock. He burned
a Costou light but the warning, if it
was seen, came too late. 1t was thought
the absence of the Cape Elizabeth
lightship from her station five miles off
shore might have caused the steamer to
run off her course. The lightship was
towed to Portland for repairs three
days ago and replaced by buoy All
shipping was notified but it was be
lieved that in the thick weather the
buoy might not have been ditsin-
guisabie.
/ As the steamer struck only 300 feet
/ from shore and there was little wind
the coast guard had no difficulty in
taking off the passengers, . of whom
were brought ashore. The others were
put aboard the Ossipee and the Port
land and taken to Portland.
The Bay State left Boston last night
on her regular trip to- Portland. The
steamer has been in this service many
years, having been built at Bath in
1895.
