EXPECTS MORE GAINS
To Be Made By Anglo-French on the
a w Western Front

London, Nov. 17.-Maj. Gen. F. B.
Maurice, chief director of military opera
tion at the war office, in an interview
with the Associated Press, predicted that
the British gains in the Ancre valley
were only the forerunner of further
equally important advances which will be
made on the western front during the
winter months.
"Our successes on the Ancre," said
Gen. Maurice, "means that we are not
going to give the enemy much rest this
winter. 1t means that whenever weather
conditions permit we are going to attack
and subject the enemy to uneeasing pres
sure during the coming months so as to
prevent as far as possible the Germans
from establishing themselves in new po-
sitions..
"All the attempts of the enemy to min
imize our success will not explain away
the fact that in three days the British
troops by the capture of Beaumont and
st. Pierre Divion and the semi-circular
ridge which they dominated have gained
an important strategical advantage.
"This ridge formed a salient jutting
into our lines from the northern bank
of the Ancre. Thus the enemy was able
to direct the fire of his artillery massed
behind it,"

Edward NutbroWn Struck
by a Weight Dropping
from Grout Track
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
IN LOW CONDITION
Accident to Websterville
Man Occurred on Con-
solidated Quarry

With bad fracture near the base of
the skull, Edward Nutbrown of upper
Granitevile was brought to the City hos
pital this forenoon after he had sustained
the injury when rail fell from a grout
road as he was making repairs to grout
trap in the quarry yard. Nutbrown is on
the dangerous list and his condition this
afternoon was described as precarious.
The man lost consciousness Immediately
after the accident and suffered hem
orrhage before he was brought to the
hospital. DIR. f. H. Bailey was called to
the quarry from his home in Graniteville
and after the physician had examined
the man, Whitcomb's motor ambulance
was summoned from East Barre and he
was hurried to the hospital. The acci-
dent occurred around l0:30 o'clock
According to the statement given ont
at the company's office near the quarry
this afternoon, Nutbrown and three other
quarrymen were making repairs to
grout trap in the quarry yard when,
without any warning, a heavy steel rail
from the inclined grout track overhead
came toppling down. Nutbrown was
STOPPING over the grout trap and the
rail striking him in the back of the head,
crushed it against block of granite.
The man lost consciousness at once and
knows nothing of the steps taken by his
fellow employees in an effort to save his
life DR.. Bailey, on his arrival at the
quarry, instantly diagnosed the case as a
serious one. Nutbrown lost consider
able quantity of blood by hemorrhages
through the ears and nose. At the hos
pital consultation of doctors was held
and a decision not to operate was
reached. Owing to the location of the
fracture at the base of the skull, an OPP
Grafton sometimes performed to bring
relief to a patient could not be resorted
to, it was said, as the condition of the
skull revealed too many distractions.
The injured quarryman is around 30
years old and is well known in Barre
Town. He is married and other near
relatives besides his wife are his mother,
Mrs. Dennis Mccarthy of Graniteville,
and two brothers, Leonard and William
Nutbrown.

RUMANIANS LOSE
MORE POSITIONS

The Rumanians have suffered
further reverses at the hands OF
General Won Falkenhayn's invad-
ing forces, according to to-day's
official announcement by the Ger
man war office. Taking more than
1900 prisoners and a dozen ma
chine guns, the Teutonic forces in
yesterdays operations Carried the
mountain peak on the Moldavian
frontier of Rumania, penetrated
the Rumanian position in the Pre-
deal region and scored advances
south of Rothenthurm pass, the
statement asserts.
London reports further success
by the British north of the Ancre
brook and east of Beaucourt. Ber-
lin also records the repulse of an
assault on the Somme front west
of LeSars and announces the Brit
ish were forced back westward
along the Flers- -Thiloy road and
lost five machine guns.
The entente drive at Monastir,
which has forced the German Bull
garian defenders back upon their
inner lines of defense, apparently
has halted. Berlin reports the re-
pulse of renewed strong attacks of
entente troops in the Cerna region
and on the Monastir plain.

GERMAN PASSENGER
MIRACULOUSLY SAVED
Several of the Deutschland's
Bow Plates Were Bent
and Rivets Loosened, but
the Boat Will Be Able to
Leave Again in Few Days,
After Her Crew Makes
Repairs

New London, Conn, Nov. 1.-THE Ger
man submarine Deutschland, which left
New London early to-day, collided with
one of her own tugs off the Race and
the tug was sunk, five men being
drowned. The Deutschland returned To
New London. The only passenger on
the tug, the I. A. Scott, jr., was Cap
tain Fred Hinsch OF the German liner
Neckar. Captain John Gurney and all of
the crew went down with the tug, which
sank almost Immediately.
The Deutschland left port for the re.
turn trip to Bremen at about 1880
o'clock, two tugs and newspaper
launch accompanying her. The trip down
the harbor was without incident and
when last seen by the newspaper men
the submersible was ploughing through
a smooth sea at the rate of about twelve
knots an hour, being headed for Mon
tauk point. Not until the Deutschland
returned to port shortly after o'clock
was anything known of the accident
which happened about twelve miles from
port.
Captain Koenig of the Deutschland ap-
peared pale and shaken as he stepped
ashore and he refused to talk of the ac-
cident. ut all happened in a minute"
according to member Of the Deutsch-
land crew who talked briefly of the af
fair. The tug, he said, got in front OF
the subnersible and the Deutschland
struck it in the stern, lifting it far
out of the water and the tugs nose went

Captain Hinseh of the steamer Nackar
caught guy rope and was carried down
with the tug. When he re-appeared on
the surface he managed to seize life
preserver from the Deutschland and was
hauled aboard the submarine.
The Deutschland was not seriously
damaged, it was stated, and probably
would be able to sail in few days when
repairs have been made. Several bow
plates were bent and rivets loosened, but
the interior was not damaged. Repairs
will be made by the crew.
The dead are: John Gurney, captain;
William A. Cation, engineer; Edward
Stone, fireman; Clarence B. Dawson,
cook; Eugene Duzant, deck hand.
The cargo carried by the Deutschland
was estimated to be worth over S2,000,-
D00. 1t consists largely of crude rub
Der, nickel, zinc and silver bars. She also
has several sacks of mail from the Ger
man embassy at Washington. Some of
the mail was said to be for the German
emperor.
The Deutschland arrived in New Lon
don on November / for her second trip |
to this country. Her first record making |
voyage was to Baltimore last summer.
On her trip here the craft brought a
cargo estimated at ten million dollars. |
The freight was composed of dyestuffs,
