GERMANS HOLD
CAPTURED FRONT
Repel French at La Mai
sOnnette-BritiSh Check
ed at LeSbOeufS

London. Oct. 3l.-The French and
British carried out several attacks on
the Sommc front to-day. but the con-
tinued bad weather confined them 10
local operations. Nowhere were they
successful in piercing the onemy's de-
fences.
East Of Lesbpufs a British assault
was broken I'D BY the fire Of the Ger
man guns. French attempts to break
the enemy's hold on La Maisonnette
also failed. Foch sent strong forces
against the trenches south of Biaches,
against Ablaincourt and on both sides
Of the Chaulnes-Lihons road. but they
were unable 20 penetrate the enemys
curtain Of fire and reach these posi-
tons.
The troops of the Crown Prince are
getting ready for the attempt 20 wres,
Douaumont and the Haudromont Quar-
ries from Nivelle With clearing
weather extensive fighting probably
will develop on both these fronts.
The Paris afternoon report mentions
only a lively artillery struggle around
Douaumont and Vaux. The night state
ment says there was fairly lively in
termittent artillery fighting IN the
regions of Sally and st. Pierre Vast
Wood"
The Berlin report says:
Army group Of Prince Rupprecht-
The activity of the fighting on the
Somme was limited BY unfavorable
weather Detachments of the enemy
which advanced against our positions
northeast and east of Lesbpufs were
driven back by our fire. An attack Of
French company against La Mason
nette failed. Equally without success
were attempts of hand grenade squads
70 enter our new trenches south OF
Biaches. Attacks of stronger French
forces against Ablaincourt and on both
sides of the ChallnesLihons road were
not carried out, owing TO our defensive
fire."
The British report tonight says:
"Our artillery and trench mortars
b,mbarded the enemy's Hohenzollern
lines and La Bassee Canal. There was
considerable hostile Smelling in the
Ypres area, at Hebuterne and south OF
the Ancre, especially around Stuff and
Schwaben redoubts and the Regina
trench"

Wilmington Man Thinks
Relatives Are Victims

Wilmington, Del, Oct 31.-John P.
Deputy, an insurance agent Of this city,
believes that the two members of the
crew Of the British steamer Marina re-
ported as dead and whose names were
given as Thomas. are his son. John p.
Deputy, jr.. age thirty, and his nephew,
Daniel P. Thorpe, thirty-fve, both of
whom resided in this city.
His belief is due to the similarity
of the first names and the fact that
Thorpe had made two voyages before
on horse ships. He says his son and
nephew left their homes in this city
on September without telling their
families where they were going, and
he thinks the name Thomas was as
sumd.

GRATITUDE TO GERARD
Decent Treatment of Prisoners
Due to u. S. Embassy

London. Oct. 31.-Lord Robert Cecil,
Minister If War Trade, in the House
Of Common to-day expressed Gin the
strongest language At my command me
deep debt Of gratitude which tnls
country owes Ambassador Gerard for
securing better conditions for British
prisoners"
81 believe it is no longer true that
British prisoners are treated worse
than those Of other nationalitles. ne
added land this relative decency is
due almost entirely TO the American
Embassy. At the same time, condi-
tions in some of the camps in Ger
many and other countries are still
very far from satisfactory"

Falkenhayn Held Up
by Mountain Forts

Berlin, Oct. 31.-The comparatively
slow progress of the Austro- German
forces since capturing the passes south
OF Kronstadt, in Transylvania, is ex-
planned by the "Tageblatt's" CORE
spondent at that front as due to the
tact that the Rumanians occupy strong
ly fortified positions in the mountains,
every peak Of which during the last
two years has been converted into a
fortress, with batteries built in at
every available spot. Good highways
have also been constructed between the
different peaks, enabling the Ruma-
mans to reinforce quickly threatened
points.
Owing to this situation, says the cor
respondent, the invading forces have
found it necessary to execute wide
f'anking movements over difficult noun
tains. Nevertheless. they are making
steady, though slow, progress.

Fair Exhibits This Year to BE Pic.
lures of Institutions.

AS more interesting and effective
means of demonstrating what is be-
ing accomplished in mechanical and
other training at the state institu-
tons, the board of control has de-
cided to substitute moving picture
films for the usual exhibits of handi-
work at the Yakima state and the
interstate fairs.
The board will use 5000 feet Of
film, which will show the inmates at
work in the institutions, administra-
ton operation, sports and in general
survey of all such activities that
will amount to an actual visit for
those who are either directly or indi-
rectly interested in how the state
manages those committed to its care
The films will run at the fairs in hour
periods, accompanied by such expla-
nations as are necessary. Later they
will be shown at the IL state institu-
tions from which they are taken and
then probably will make the circuit
Of moving picture houses.
The course is designed as educa-
tional on the modern plan with view
to arousing closer and more sympa-
thetic public cooperation in the work
of remedying human defects and
caring for the unfortunate.

new BOARD SAFEGUARDS
STATE INSURANCE FUND
Takes Important Steps to Proven,
Likelihood of Further
Frauds.

The new Industrial insurance COM
mission, which assumed office June
has already made several important
changes in administration methods of
the department.
AS one of the safeguards against
the passing of any more fraudulent
accident claims from county road
work, the commission now requires
the approval of one member of the
board Of county commissioners in ad-
dition to that of the road foreman
Most Of the Gillies frauds were forged
on alleged county road payrolls. BY
requiring the approval by county
commissioner of claims, an official as
surance of validity is given by the
county.
In further protection of the reserve
fund the insurance commission has
required affidavit reports of physical
condition every three months from
pension fund beneficiaries. Payments
Will NC uclu dI luc OlIlCc uILll ouCu
reports are received. The commits
sion has also suspended cash advances
in excess of monthly payments due
beneficiaries, except in cases where
an advance would save the beneficiary
from sacrificing property.
The latest report of the commits
sion shows that total of $6,132,273
has been paid into the fund in the
four years Industrial insurance has
been in force in this state, this
amount coming from contributing
employers. Out of it $3,892,407 has
been paid out on injury claims and
$2,O48,422 in pensions to dependents
of workingmen killed in employ
ment Through remarriage of de-
pendent widows $233,125 has been
returned to the fund that otherwise
would have been paid out. The acct
