Sailly-Saillisel

London, Oct. 12.-The French pressed
forward south, and the British and
French north of the Somme to-day,
making progress in their drives against
me Bethune road and Chaulnes. The
British also made local attacks near
Thiepval and along the LIE Sars-Guede-
court lines and successful raids on the
enemy's positions in other sectors.
By advancing west of Sailly-Saillisel'
Foch's troops have repeated against
that position the pocketing movement
that brought about the fall of Combles
and other places. This success has
also opened the way for joint opera
ton south of Transloy to drive the
Germans out of their positions on the
two-mile stretch of the Bethune road
lying south of Transloy.
The French also moved forward
from their new lines east of Verman-
dovillers and penetrated further into
the village Of Ablaincourt. two miles
northeast of Chaulnes. II the French
can win the whole Of Ablaincourt the
drive against Chaulnes can be prose-
cuted from the north as we'll a. the

WINTER NO STOP
TO SONIME DRIVE
Allies Will Go On, Says
Gen. Maurice-Can Use
Cavalry Soon


London, Oct. l2.-Winter will not
stop the Allied drive in the west. This
is the opinion expressed to-day by
Major General F. b. Maurice, chief
director Of military operations.
Fighting merely will be restricted
according to the shortage of daylight,
he said. Don't forget that the French
and Germans in 1871 fought battle
at Bapaume in January.
"Momentarily the advantage OF
ground on the western front has passed
to the Germans" he continued. Thls
explains apparently the lull on the
western front, although local activities
by Haig and Joffrc still keep the Ger
mans on the jump.
Our hardest fight was the capture
of Thiepval ridge" said the general.
This taken. we drove back the Ger
mans until finally they were obliged
TO take IN positions along the low
ridge before Rapaume. We are fight
ing IN the valley until we succeed in
gaining these heights overlooking Ba-
paume."
the fact that the present fighting con-
stitutes race between German trench
digging capacity and Allied power OF
advance. Pointing TO one of the won
derful maps, which the British staff Is
all the time producing, he compare i
the great maze of trenches around
Thiepyal with the narrow line repre-
senting German Notifications behind
Bapaume.
Every move we make we find the
obstacles opposed to US less severe,
while our rate Of progress become
correspondingly quicker he continued.
"But | wish 10 emphasize the point
that we are not anticipating any sud
den collapse or break of the German
line. We are aiming at a slow, de-
liberate, pushing movement which all
the time is increasing the length Of
the German line, making their problem
of defence more difficult Moreover.
the time must soon arrive when the
enemies trenches will be three or four
thousand yards apart; then the OBJ
portunity will come to use our cav
airy"

Major Bassemann expressed his con-
fdence that the firm will Of the Ger

Dr.. Peter SPAIN, leader Of the Cath

BRITISH PUT BIG FAITH
IN ARMY'S NEW TANKS
Even Greater Efficiency Expect
ed from Huge Cars, Says
Lloyd George

London. Oct. 12.-The British public
has displayed undated interest in the
doings Of the tanks" at the front and
curiosity regarding their history.
The subject was raised in the House
OF Commons tonight, when Mr.. Lloyd
George, War Secretary, again gave
primary credit to Colonel Winston
Spencer Churchill, former First Lord
of the Admiralty. Churchill's energy
and enthusiasm, he said, were mainly
responsible for bringing the idea into
practical operation, by making the
necessary experiments when he was
head Of the Admiralty. and appointing
a committee to carry out suggestions.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he hoped that
with further experience the efficiency
of the tanks would become even
greater.

advance to-day, but the enemy's fire
drove them back to their former lines.

MADAM BUTTERFLY"
FACES BALTIMORE BAN
Law Forbids "Star Spangled
Banner" in Opera
fBy Telograph 70 The Tribuns ]

Baltimore, Oct. l2.-Just as the
Aborn English Opera Company was
planning to put on Madam Butterfly"
at the Lyric on Saturday it was discov-
cred that a recently enacted city ordi-
nance might make the production Of
.he opera an impossibility IN Baltimore
for all time unless presented in form
horribly mangled by the police censors.
The ordinance reads: .,
"'The Star-Spangled Banner shall
not be played, sung or rendered in Bal
timore in any public place or at any
public entertainment. or in any theatre,
except as an en..re and separate compo-
sition or number. without embeliish-
ments Of national or other melodles.
Unfortunately the opera contains
throughout its score repetitions OF the
anthem, and Chief of Police Carter is
taking no chances.
