FORTIFIED WOOD IS
TAKEN BY FRENCH
Capture Of CombIeS with Its
Great Booty Completes a
Brilliant Operation.
THE ALLIES ARE MASTERS
Progress Made by the French
Shows Growing Power of
Offensive Movement.


PARIS. Sept. pa brilliant French
attack east of Vermandovillers has
succeeded in capturing a strongly for
titled wood, according 10 an official
statement issued by the war office
Wednesday
The capture Of Combles with It's
great booty completes what is regard
ed by military experts here as one Of
the most brilliantly executed opera
tons of the summer campaign. The
whole front Of attack from Martin
puich TO the Somme has been pushed
forward uniformly for more than 2
mile. Military observers declare that
the fullness Of the success proves that
the Allies are masters OF the situation.
Since September Is the Germans had
brought up three fresh divisions against
the French front and the same num-
Der against the British. On the TWEEN
tieth they made desperate effort to
retake Bouchyesnes. Not only did
they fail but Ave days the British as
Stunning the offensive hurled back the
line despite the fact that considerable
advantages Of terrain We're considered
to be with the Germans.
The progress made by the French
beyond Bouchavesnes is regarded here
as one Of the most surprising results
Of the operation. French officers A.
clare that this success demonstrates
the, growing power of the French of
fensiye and the falling resistance of
the Germans. The hills surrounding
this village were swept on all three
sides by German artillery from st.
pinrrn In 1,nt AF
St Quentin in the south. Neverthe-
less they were stormed and the cap
ture Of Hill 1870, which threatened d.
rectly Allaines. paves the way for
vigorous enveloping movement around
Mont St Quentin and Perunno. The
newspapers compare the present Of
fensiye with the bloody and futile at
tempts of the French TO break through
the German lines in Artois and Cham
payne last year and express the great
est optimism over the present situa-
ton.
All of the military writer's agree
that the results Of Mondays and Tues
days fighting are among the most inn
portant gained in the whole series Of
battles on the Somme front. They
point out that the recent successes
have considerable tactical value and
that generally the situation has been
sensibly modified. consequence, which
they say. will soon be evident.
The phrase in the official statement
from Berlin "wel are obliged to admit
the success obtained by our adver-
saries" is interpreted by many news
papers as a sign that the Germans
know that the Allies are getting the
upper hand and are irving to explain
1t by declaring that the whole re-
sources of the world are being used
against them. The papers exultantly
sum up the results to date of the great
offensive as fortv-four villages s.at:
100 square miles of territory conquered
and 10000 prisoners taken.

tic meeting of the Clarksburg Young
Mems Republican Club held in the
county Republican headquarters in the
Con building Tuesday night, officers
for the ensuing year were elected and
other business pertaining TO the club
was transacted
The meeting was one OF the best held
since the club was organized two
weeks ago. The headquarters was not
large enough to hold all the members
that turned out and many were forced
to stand up during the meeting. The
newly-elected officers stated at the
meeting that arrangements would be
made this week to secure headquarters
for the club large enough to accom-
modate all the members. The mem
bership OF the club has now reached
$50 and before the campaign ends 1t is
expected to reach the 500 mark.
The following officers were elected:
Observation-Disclosures w. Louchery.
Vice presidents-Guy II. Burnside,
Forest Mcneil, Sturgeon White, Ray
StrOther and Mark Wilson.
SeCretary-James j. Coughlin.
Assistant secretary-W. G. Stathers.
Treasurer-Charles W. Blbbee.
Executive committee - John B.
Stealey and Herman Gronnemeyer
Charles w. Louchery. the newly
elected president. gave a short address
TO the club members thanking them
for the honor bestowed upon him and
assuring all that he would work hard
for the success Of the club.
Following Mr.. Louchery's address,
Charles d. Floyd, one of the most en-
thusiastic members OF the club, ad-
dressed the club members. While
short Mr.. Floyds address was very
enthusiastic and showed that the club
members are not lacking in pep" and
that good results can be looked for
from the club.
The club members were all agree
ably surprised when Joseph Holt
Gaines, state chairman, made his APP
pearance at the meeting, and when
called upon for a speech he was so
well pleased with the showing made
by the club that he addressed the
meeting. His address was in keeping
with the meeting, and while one of the
older Republicans of the state, Mr..
Gaines showed enough spirit and pep"
TO be classed as a member of the
young mems club. Mr.. Gaines's address
was genuine treat to all club mem
bers and If 1t had been known he was
to speak many of the members who
were not present surely would have
been there.

Should a perso nunacquainted with
politics drop into the speakers bu-

tiers here and see Morgan owen
porting over a larg map, placing pin

doubt think Mr.. Owen was the chief
of staff of some belligerent army and
was planning a great offensive. In
one sense, his deductions would be
correct. The map might correctly be
called war map, and Mr.. owen him
self admits that he is planning an
offensive. But, fortunately, no
blood will be spilled. The shells
