One of the most popular victories of
the day prior to the staging of the
championship contests was won by
Melvin G. HaZen's three-year- mare
Virginia Dare. This filly performed
about as consistently in the jumping
events during the show as any horse
that competed. In her several appear

GERMANS TRY TO
RETAKE OFFENSIVE

Paris. Oct. q l.---German troops are
trying 10 regain the initiative on the
Somme.
Repeated terrific counter-attacks
have been delivered by the Teutons.
especially north OF the river In the
past few days. preceded by a heavy
expenditure OF ammunition. Each OF
these blows. according to reports from
French headquarters. has been shat
tered. one after another.
The French continue slowly with
winning their detectives on the Som
me, namely. the heights, railways and
important highway functions.
The Germans are suffering greatly
from inferiority In the aerial branch
OF warfare on the Somme. the head
quarters reports say. As rapidly as
German alrmen appear along the
Anglo-French front they are attacked
and driven back. The German COM
manders thus far lack information
about movements going on behind the
allied front.
In several instances in the last few
days the Germans have spread a cur
tain fire over vacant ground, wasting
shells lavishly for lengthy periods.
either because OF poor range direct
Ing by their ayiators or because OF
nervousness on the part OF their COM
manders. fearing an attack at some
unexpected point,
French officials declared today that
they have learned that the Germans
are now systematically trying to
create the impression among the neu-
trails that France is worn out by q
months OF war. On the contrary, they
said. France Is determined TO con-
tinue battering the German line with
huge. newly created artillery and
other offensive materials all winter.
