GERMANS STORM
LINE ON SOMME
Win FOOthOld in La Mai
sonnette-Carry Front
as Far as BiacheS

London, Oct. 3O-South of the
Somme the Germans in violent as
sault to-day succeeded in gaining a
foothold in the town Of La Maisonnette'
southwest of Peronne, and penetrating
Foch's first line trenches north OF the
town.
Previous to the attack the German
guns carried out 8 destructive POM
bardment Of the entire French front
from La Maisonnette farm to Biaches'
Berlin says this entire line was
"stormed." Sauadrons Of aircraft di--
rected the fire of the batteries and
helped enormously in accomplishing
the objects Of the Germans.
This move slightly relieves the
pressure Of the French on Peronne.
with the clearing of the skies Foch
probably will send his men back against
these positions, with the purpose OF
strengthening the hold on the heights
dominating Peronne.
The French and the British frightened
their grip on the enemy's lines IN the
Transloy sector, north of the Somme
to-day. Haig's troops penetrated fur.
Their into the advanced trench east OF
Les Beufs won from the Germans yes
terday.
The French carried a system Of enc
my trenches northwest of SaillySailli-
sci and advanced to the east of that
place. These operations bring the Al
lies still nearer Transloy and the Beth
une road in this region and put them in
position to strike a decisive blow at
that stronghold.
The renewal of the Allied offensive
on large scale Is expected as soon az
the ground dries up and clear air per-
mits Of extensive aerial operations.

Norway Inflamed, Calls
German Policy "Piracy"

Christiania, Oct. 10 Correspond
ence) Never before during the war
has the Norwegian press so unanimous
Is expressed resentment as at the last
steps in the German submarine war
fare. The "0rebladet" calls it piracy,
and says it is the general opinion that
German war against mercantile ships IS
directed especially against Norway.
The "Tidens Tegn" says bitterness
has been provoked everywhere in Nor
way by the destroying of Norwegian
property and lives of Norwegian sailors
in the Arctic Ocean. and vehemently
urges the government to do something
to protect property and lives.
The "Verdens Gang" asserts Germany
has substituted for international law
and old, recognized ethical principles
the principle Of power as the basis OF
its warfare, recognizing no other
standard of morals than what its own
interests dictated. Other papers say
the German governments secret agents,
who report the sailings Of Norwegian
ships. are tolerated everywhere and
treated in a friendly manner, while
such agents have been expelled from
Holland, and that when Norwegian
press correspondents attempt TO keep
ship officers and ship owners posted as
TO where German submarines are lying
the censorship suppresses their tele-
grams.
"The Shipping and Mercantile Ga
zette" says that just before the new
submarine warfare was inaugurated
agents of the German government APP
peared in its editorial Office and threat
ened the paper and the country because
of alleged unfriendly feelings toward
Germany.
Public opinion in Norway at present
is greatly excited, and the popular
feeling toward Germany is far from
friendly. Ship owners have decided not
% permit their vessels to sail TO Rus
sian ports in the Arctic.
The "Aftenposten" says Norway does
rot so much fear German submarine
warfare near the American coast, as 1t
must be supposed the United States IS
better prepared than are the small neu-
trail nations TO prevent wholesale tor
pedoing Of neutral ships.
The German submarine warfare thus
far has cost Norway III ships, with a
total tonnage Of 23500O, and the lives
Of i4O Norwegian sailors.

Consul Frost's statements will be
awaited. This evidence, it is expected,
will be in the form Of affidavits from
survivors, particularly the Americans
in the crews of both vessels.
officials are puzzled, however, by
Consul Frost's statement that the
Marina was sunk by gunfre without
warning" Normally when the subma-
rines use their deck guns they fire
warming shot as a signal TO heave to.
II the vessel fees they continue to
shell until she stops or escapes beyond
range. That the Marina was sunk IN
dicates, it is believed, that many shots
were fired, and officials are anxious TO
know what was the conduct OF the
Marina during the bombardment.
1t is declared that week or more
may elapse before enough facts are
collected by the State Department TO
make public statement In any case
there is little chance that action Will
be taken before election.

Russian MaSsed Attacks
Fail on VOlhynian Front

London, Oct. 30.-The Russians con-
tinued their massed attacks against the
Teutons in Volhynia to-day, giving fur
their indication of the imminence Of
general offensive on this front.
Two assaults, on a large scale, were
directed against the enemy's lines, fol-
lowing violent bombsrdments Of the
positions under attack. West of Pus-
tonyty and east of Szelzov, both in the
Stokhod region. the Russians battered
vainly against the Teuton defences, ac-
cording to Berlin. The German state
ment says:
"a Russian attack in massed forma-
ton, prepared for by the heaviest use
Of shells, was launched west of Pus-
tonyty. A short time later an attack
was made east of Szelzov (Volhynia).
Both attacks failed, with heavy losses,
before our fire."

Official Statements
on Western Fighting

Berlin, Oct. SO.--To-day's official
report says:
Army group of Crown Prince Rup-
precht-Many places on the front north
of the Somme were under hostile fire,
TO which we responded vigorously. The
enemy, during an attack from the Les
boeufs-Morval line, succeeded in en-
larging his penetration of our most adj
vanced trench east of Lesboeufs for a
small distance to the south. At all
points where the enemy was able to
advance through our curtain Of fire he
was ssnguinarily repulsed.
On the south bank Of the Somme, La
Maisonnette Farm and French posi-
tions extending thence to Biaches were
stormed in brisk attack by Infantry
Regiment No. $50, composed of Berlin
and Brandenburg troops. The attack
was efficiently prepared by the artil-
lory, splendidly assisted by the OBJ
servation of airmen. Prisoners TO the
number of 412, among whom were fif-
teen officers, were brought in.
Army group of the German Crown
Princeton the northeast front of Yer
dun the artillery duels continue.
London, Oct. S0.-To-day's official
report says:
Heavy rain continues to fall. There
is nothing to report from our front
south Of the Ancre. During the night
We conducted two successful raids on
enemy trenches west of Wytschaete
and east of Boesinghe, taking prisoners
and inficting considerable damage.
Enemy working parties were bombed
by US in the neighborhood of La Bassee
Canal and suffered many casualties.
Paris, Oct. SO.-To-doy's official
report says:
North of the Somme our troops car
ried a system of enemy trenches north
west of Sailly-S aillisel. Another oper-
alton, boldly carried out, enabled US to
advance to the east in the direction of
Saillsel. About sixty prisoners re-
manned in our hands.
South of the Somme the Germans
last night multiplied their attacks,
which were preceded by an intense
bombardment, against our positions
from Bisches to south of La Maison-
nette. The enemy, who was repulsed
several times with severe losses, sue
ceeded during his last attempt, which
was extremely violent, in penetrating
some elements Of our first line trench
north Of La Maisonnette and in gaining
foothold in the buildings of that
town. All efforts of the Germans to
drive US from Hill 81 failed under our
fire.
On the right bank of the Meuse the
artillery struggle continues on the
front as whole. 1t is, however, less
violent in the region of Douaumont.
There was no infantry action.
In accordance with their usual habit,
in order TO avenge their defeat at Yer
dun, the Germans directed a violent
bombardment against Rheims. There
were few victims among the civilian
population.
Paris, Oct. SO.-To-doy's official
report says:
Army Of the East-In the region of
the Cerna and on our left wing the
artillery struggle continues with vio-
lence. North of Delislo (Velyeselo p
the Serbians, supported by French ar
tillery, fought some bitter engagements
with the German Bulgar troops and
achieved some advantage. The lighting
continues with obstinate violence on
both sides. A German aeroplane was
brought down in our lines.
