German Stronghold on

rRv CsNls n Tne Tribune }

Landau. Sept. 1.-THE French drew
che moose closer around Combles to-
d,v Directly east Of this strongly
fortified town they extended their posi-
TINS and TO the southeast they carried
the Farm Of lie Priez, which the Ger
mans had organized into a stronghold
guarding Combles on the flank.
Combles is now completely isolated
although it is not surrounded. The
British are striving 10 close the loop
on the north by pushing forward from
Cinchy. but their task is arduous. They
made some progress to-day, but they
still must conquer a mile Of strongly
fortified ground.
All communications with Peronne
have Been cut. The French grip on the
national highway from Bapsume to
Ieronne cuts it of on the north, while
On the south the railway TO Chaulnes
has been preached All the roads lead
inc 20 Combles and PerOnne are now
Iaked by the Allied guns.
Counter Attacks Fail
The Germans made several furious
storts last night and to-day 20 loosen
IN, French hold on the Peronne-Ba-
taume road. These counter blows cen
t,ed around Bouchavesnes, bastion on
The defence line guarding the road.
Bu. in the face Of all these assaults
the French maintained their gains.
From their positionsson the highway
the French can force a wedge far cast
Of both Peronne and Bspaume, and then,
widening il by steady blows, pocket
10th towns and so force their evacua-
ton. This explains the fury OF the
German counter attacks.
Unouestionably the Germans eX-
hsusted every means at their command
in these counter strokes, but they could
no, make them tell. For the effort
,hsy mustered all available men. The
NOS, significant feature of the fighting
was the fact that the Germans trans
ferred a division from Verdun TO take
part in the assault.
Military opinion here interprets this
move as evidence that the seven
months battle at Verdun has come to
an end and that the Germans eoncede
defeat. The Crown Prince, under Won
Hindsnburg's division OF the West
Front, is st.ll in command Of the Yer
dun front. Bat most Of his reserves

British Forces Inactive.
With the exception Of small gains
around Crcty, the British forces north

Gain Along Mace
dOnian Front.
TEUTONS OCCUPY
ALL OF KAVALA
Entire Greek Army Corps
Gives Up to Germans
and Will Be Interned
fBy Cable 10 III. Tribune |

London, Sept. l4.-While the Serbs
are pushing slowly ahead in violent
battle on the left wing of the Allied
front in Macedonia, the British have
joined the French in a stroke up the
Vardar Valley. They won considerable
ground southwest of Doiran to-day,
wiping out a salient the Bulgars had
driven into their line.
King Peters troops continued the as
sault to-day, attacking heavily along
the whole front. After capturing at
the point of the bayonet Bulgarian
trenches between Kovel and Veterenik,
they carried all of the first line. North
east of Lake Ostrovo the Serbs seized
an important strategic height after
fierce fighting.
Meanwhile the Bulgars and the Ger
mans, with their fahX protected by the
withdrawal of the British forces behind
the Struma, have advanced to the
Egeann and taken possession OF all
Kavala. Berlin reports that an entire
Greek army corps, seeking protection
against the Allied pressure, has been
TRANSPORTED from that port to Germany.
In the Dobrudja, where no word has
come Of the Russians for several days,
the veil of mystery was lifted slightly
to-day. The Rumanians evidently are
making a strong Il nter-attack at ST.
listria, where fighting still continues
on the southern bank of the Danube.
This counter-attack has halted Mack
ensens drive for the present, and the
threat of a Bulgar advance toward
Bucharest apparently is ended. The
Rumanians in this sector seem to be
holding their own against the Turks
and the Germans.
The stemming of the Teuton ad-
vance in the western DobrudJa Will
clear the way for resumption of the
Russian drive along the Black Sea.
While Mackensen's forces were moving
eastward toward the coast their ad-
vance carried with it threat TO turn
the Russian flank.
In TransylvanIa German troops final
lv have been sent TO assist the Aus
trians. But the latter admit further
retreat without the pressure of a new
Rumanian offensive. Along the north
ern and northwestern fronts the Ru-
manian advance continues unchecked.
The Bulgarian Minister of the In
terror. Christie Poppov, has resigned to
rejoin the army, according to Central
News advices from Sofia. Premier
Radoslavof, who also holds the port
folio Of Foreign Affairs, will act tenn
porarily as Minister of the Interior.

"The match is ready" shouted Hol-
land above the din, "and labor is only
waiting to burst forth into flame. IL
nothing TO bring US relief has been
done BY Saturday night strike will be
called that will astound this city. The
match that will fire this strike has
been withheld thus far out Of consid-
Grafton to the Mayor, and to give him
fair opportunity to settle the present
conflict"
With labor still under the spell OF
Hollands words, the Central Labor
Union OF Brooklyn last night indorsed
the sympathetic strike idea with
whoop. Delegates from ninety-fivcHo-
cal bodies attended the session, which
was held in Lyceum Hall, at Willough-
by and Myrtle Avenues, applauded de-
nunciations Of Messrs. Shonts, Hedley
and Whitridge, and recommended that
every union be ready to answer strike
call.

Union meets tonight and is expected
to take the same action. Then the
strike resolutions will be rushed be-
fore the affiliated unions, who Will
vote on them individually. In few

FaVOrs Walk-Out.

The Amalgamated Union has
abandoned its attempt to win the
traction strike in the way it first
planned. In the face of yesterdays
unprecedented increase in trolley ac-
tivity on all lines, which spelled de.
feat of the original effort to strangle
traffic, the union leaders made ready
to play the first of the two high cards
they still hold.
Tomorrow night the sympathetic
strike of from $4,000 to $4,000 work
ers in trades allied with car opera
ton will be called, according to
James P. Holland, president of the
State Federation of Labor, unless
some move is made by Mayor Mitche.
and the Public Service Commission
which can shatter the present dead
lock. Louis B. Fridiger, attorney for
the Amalgamated, believes this to be
an impossibility.
General Wslk-0ut Doubtful.
The final card the labor chieftains
hold is a general walk-out of the
100000 union workers of the greater
city. But this is doubtful ally.
Union leaders admit privately that
if the strike of the 10000 can't swing
victory to the car men nothing will.
The lack of coordination between the
unions seems to render a blanket
strike highly conjectural under any
conditions.
Holland made his assertion at
meeting of 10000 striking car men
and sympathizers az a mass meeting
in Union Square at the end of pa
rade of the striking car workers.
Advance word had reached Chief In
spector Max Schmittberger, at Police
Headquarters that the future policy
of the strike generals would be an
nounced at this meeting. Hollands
statement that the sympathetic
strike had been arranged was greeted
with salvos of applause.
