Associated Press Summary


British troops have been engaged
in the heaviest kind of fighting alone
front of three ond one-half miles
on the Somme, from HighwoOd tt
Leuze wood, and have captured Din.
chy, almost directly south of Combles
and all the ground between DINGHY
and Leuze wood. On front of more
than a quarter of mile the British
gained 300 yards east of High wood
and northeast of PoZieres, and cap
tured 600 yards of German trenches
In the engagements, according to the
British official statement, the German
casualties were very heavy.
Likewise, the French forcing the
attack in the Verdun sector, captured
whole sections of German trenches
east of Fleury, the assaults having
been characterized by the French war
office as brilliant actions".
Fighting on three fronts, the Ru-
manians have dealt hard blows at the
armies of the central powers. In Do
brujka, Rumanian troops, aided by
Russians, have driven Bulgarians
from Dazardjik or Drobic, which was
captured by the Bulgarians on Sep
TENDER A. The Bulgarians were fore
ed also to evacuate another town in
Dobrujka.
North, in Pennsylvania, the Ruman-
= ians continue their offensive in the

Russians In Hungary?
The fall of Halicz, south of Lem
berg, appears imminent. according to
unofficial dispatches from Petrograd.
The Austrians are reported to be
blowing up the forts in the city, and
the Russians are said to have occu-
pied some of them. 1t is further I'M
officially reported that the Russians
on the left bank of the Dniester are
bombarding the retreating Austrians.
Russian troops, fighting in the Car
pathian heights, are pressing closer
and closer to Hungary. Berlin admits
the retirement before strong Russian
forces northwest of Kapul. This may
mean that the Russians have entered
Hungary, as the fighting has been
close to the Hungarian border.
Petrograd says Russians have
stormed series of heights south of
Baranoof and have captured 500 pris-
cners.
In an offensive west of Lake Os-
trova, the Serbians, after a violent /
engagement, captured height.

Republicans Shift Attack at
Close of a Bitter
Campaign.

Portland Maine, Sept. 9.-The
state campaign closed tonight, after
total of 292 set speeches had been
crowded into the final "a hours,
when 100 meetings were addressed
by men whose national prominence
assured packed houses. Supplement-
ing this unprecedented volume of
oratory, there were brass bands, red
fire, organized cheering and gen
eral revival of the old-time torch
light parades.
Tonight, both sides claim the cleo
ton, the Democrats by a plurality of
5000, the Republicans by $4,000. Not
in recent years has so determined an
effort been made to make showing
in the voting, because of the moral
effect on the country at large, which
expects to feel the political pulse of
the nation in Names vote on Mon
day.
An eleventh hour development
was the shifting of the Republican
foreign policy in particular to the
tafl!I question, over which many a
battle has been waged in this state.
At the opening of the campaign,
speakers for the Republicans, notab-
ly Theodore Roosevelt, bitterly as
sailed the presidents conduct of
affairs. Charles E.
Hughes who spoke at Rockland to-
hight, launched an attack on the ad-
ninistrations shipping bill, which de-
'cribed as menace to American |
shipping.
