FRENCH DRIVE AGAIN
NEARER TO PERONNE
Push Germans Further Back
West Of Stronghold.

London, Oct. 20.-Ceasing for the
time being their attacks in the region
Of Bapaume, the French drove Tor
ward during the night against the Ger
man forces in front of Peronne and
made further progress.
The Paris war Office reports that
the French attacked in force between
Blaches and La Maisonette, where the
Germans were compelled to fall back
North of the Somme, the French have
completely consolidated their new pc
sition at Sailly-Saillisel. The Ger
mans made a counter attack there, but
1t was easily rephlsed, the war office
stated.
There have been more heavy rain
storms on the French front and the
fighting has been carried out in shell
crates that have been turned into min
iature lakes. The Biaches La Malson
cite line, where the French attacked
lies directly west of Peronne. 1t is
at this point that the French front ap
proaches most closely to that German
stronghold.
Rain fell heavily during the night,
says the official report from the Brit
ish front. "Raiding parties entered
enemy trenches near Loos and south
of Arras. Otherwise there is nothing
to report"
The French are separated from Pc
rome by little more than the Somme
along a front of upward Of two miles
The occupation of Sailly-Saillisel
almost seven miles north of Peronne
was the result of several days hard
fighting. The French took part of the
village few days ago, and since then
1t has been house-to-house, hand-to
hand fighting all the time. The Ger
mans made a stubborn resistance.

least a dozen men were ontombed in
mine No. Z of the Jamison Coal and
Coke company, at Barra kviEe, near
this place, by an explosion of coal
dust.
The workings soon afterward caught
fire, and, as the ventilation system
was damaged by the explosion, little
hope was held out fer the imprisoned
men.
Volunteers under Bierbower, the
mine superintendent, attempted to en-

company who happened to be in Fa T.

Ordinarily, $50 men are employed in
the mine, but the rest Of them were

Washington. Oct. 20.-Loss OF the
German submarine merchantmen Bre-
men, virtually was conceded Dy rank
ing Teutonic diplomats in position TO
be familiar with the movements Oh
the vessel. The Bremen Is one month
overdue.
1t was admitted that German OIL
cials, not only in this country but In
Berlin, were without information as
to the fate of the Bremen. All they
know is that she set out for America
from Bremerhaven, and that sAe
should have arrived at an American
port soon after the middle of last
month. It is regarded as doubtful that
accurate information concerning the
fate of the vessel will be available
until after the close Of the war, u
then.
The disappearance of the Bremen
will not cause abandonment OF the
project to send merchantmen subma
rines regularly from Germany to the
United States, it was said. There
appeared to be reason to expect that
another sub-sea freighter, either the
Deutschland or some other, would
reach an American port some time
within the next month.
German officials in Washington dc
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands of the British
unless she had some accident to hel

unlike naval submarines, merchant
submarines avoid all localities fire.

not open to the same risks.
When the Bremen was week over
due no anxiety regarding her was felt
The Deutschland was just weel
overdue when she came through the
Virginia capes and the weather con
ditions then were much better thar
those which have prevailed during TIT
last month and a half. When the yes
sci was two weeks overdue ANXIETY
was apparent in various Teuton1t
quarters, and word of her arrival was
anxiously awaited.
Since then hope that the submarine
might be safe has dwindled each daJ
and today she was spoken of as hayI
ing been lost.
The Bremen was commanded BY
Captain Schwarzkopf, and carried 4
| crew of approximately twenty-five
men.
One official said 1t was considered
most likely the Bremen had met the
fate of a number of naval submarines
| which had sailed from port never to
be heard from again.
