Third German Line in

Frantic Efforts Made to Strengthen Positions on oomme
Fron-Capture of Heights Brings hem Under

but as many as five or siX. These
trenches were constructed with all the
skill and ingenuity that two years

sidered by the enemy impregnable. II
not. il is certainly strange that such
elaborate preparations we're made for
an indefinite stay.
The third defences are different In
the third line are Courcelette, FlerS,
Bots Marriere, st. Quentin. and other
little hamlets. Though frantic efforts
were made last month to strengthen
the line, it is hardly comparable with
the first and second lines.
viii the capture of the second line
came possession OF high ground IN
valuable to artillery. Though aero
planes. kites and balloons have done
wonderful work. artillery officers still
prefer direct observations.
These commanding positions now
bring the fortified places just men,
toned into direct range, so the
artillery is able to pound away under
the most favorable conditions. As the
Fundamental value of the Somme often
sive consists in bringing into action
the maximum of the enemys forces,
the fact that he is now concentrating
a much greater army than ne used IN
his Verdun attack is highly satisfying
TO the Allied stats.
When the Somme offensive started
the Germans failed to call the turn, for
they calculated that the drive would ex-
tend from Albert to Arras. and prepared
accordingly. Gommecourt was the eX-
treme northern point from which the
British attacked, and though they
made no advance from that point south
to the Ancre, it was only because of
the strength of the German defences.
The British faced Typographical diff
culties much greater than the French,
but they have finally surmounted the
worst of them.
There is much praise for the French
army which showed its mettle in the
recent drive in the Chaulnes sector.
1t is considered fully the equal of the
First Army. which has been fighting
magnifcently.

SUBMARINE SUNK
NEAR N. Y. LINER
TrawlerS, Passenger Says,
Saved TusCania Close to
LuSitania's Grave.

Ralph Z. Cropley, a New York bust
ness man, living at Summit, y. j., who
went abroad on the Tuscania on August
10. told on his arrival yesterday on the
Orduna of an attempt by a German
submarine to sink the Tuscania near
the Old Head of Kinsale, close TO the
spot where the Lusitania was sunk.
According to Mr.. Cropley, the Tus-
cania was preceded by four British
trawlers, which swept the sea with
steel mesh nets for floating mines or
hostile submarines.
As the passengers watched the ma
neuvres of the trawlers they steered
a course off the starboard bow and,
after forming a circle, nred Their
smaller guns at an object IN their
midst. Passengers were given to UNI
derstand the trawlers had surrounded
and sunk q submarine. which was wait
ing to torpedo the Tuscanla.
During the next twelve hours the
Tuscania sailed a zigzag course, being
warned by British destroyers that sub
marines were about. She arrived az
Liverpool day late.
Mr. Cropley commended the work the
British trawlers were performing IN
safeguarding the lives of ocean travel
lers. He said il was due TO the vigil
lance Of these craft, and not TO the
notes Of President Wilson, that more
American lives were not lost. tie eX
hbited an abrasion on his neck, which
he said was the result Of bomb
dropped from a Zeppelin during the
German aircraft's recent visit to Eng
land
Mr.. Cropley went aboard to study
the hospital ships used by the fighting
nations, with view TO making recon-
mendations TO Congress for an appro-
priation for similar hospital ships TO
be used in the Philippines and the Gulf
of Mexico.

tcmpts TO win back ground from the
Allies on the Somme front. Foch and
Haig once more demonstrated the
power Of the grip they have obtained
ON the German second line and the
futlity Of all enemy efforts TO dislodge
them.

against the Ginchy-Combles sector and
the region from Berny to the south Oh

South Of the Somme the Germans
assailcd Foch's position five times, the

LIQUID fire were discharged toward the
French trenches. Each time the ad-
vaucmC columns were raked with shell
from the French guns and hurled back

Russians Drive on Halicz.

In the closing days Of last week the
Russians carried out an operation when
for a few hours threatened Halicz with
complete investment, but Won Bothmer
had anticipated the move and taken
measures to defeat it, Instead OF
thrusting at the stronghold from the
south, where they hold the left bank
of the Dniester, or from the east where
they are almost in the outskirts OF the
city, Letchitsky's troops made a sudden
sharp assault from the north. Taken
by surprise at first, the Austrians quick
" rallied, and at the village of Bursz-
tyn parried the Russian blow and
forced the attackers to abandon the OPP
Grafton.
Halicz. however, is now in a Russian
moose. and before many days the leu
ton lines probably will weaken sur
ficiently to permit the strings to be
pulled taut. With this fortress trapped
the drive on Lemberg will be prose-
cuted without delay.
