British Front in France. September 21. (via London. )--The total number of pris- oners for what are regarded in all quar- ters as the best two days the British army has had in France, approached 5000.
 Through the night there was heavy fighting, while the British were pressing forward their guns in the path of the preceding days gains. The sun rose with promise of another splendid au- tumn day only to become overcast later. This interfered with all important ar tillery observations. More than 1000 prisoners were taken in Thiepval and the zollern work. Tn military sense this work, lying between Thiepval and Courcelette was regarded as most i'm portant.

 There have been many reports of tho expected arrival of the merchant subma- r4ne bremen at various ports on the At. lar tic coast recently. but to the present she has not docked in any of them. The announcement of her arrival printed in Berlin probably resulted from one of these many premature reports reaching tn. German capital.
 New London. Baltimore and Norfolk have been reported as the destination ot the Bremen. Recently there has been much activity In New London by officials of the Eastern Forwarding company American agents for the German mer- chant submarines. 4 report from West erly, R. l., Septembef %, said a tug had left there to meet German submarine which was on the wayyto New London.
 The Berlin dispatch apparently is con firmatory of the reports that the Ere men had sailed for the United States. and that she is now due here.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES


 1SS6-Jack Dempsey was presented with a belt emblematic of the middle weight championship of the world. The belt was an elaborate and costly affair, and the presentation ceremon- ies. pulled off 30 years ago tonight in Cosmopolitan Hall, New York, attract ed a big assemblage of sports to do honor to the Irish ''Nonpareil.'' Demp- sey had won the title by whipping the best men of his weight in the United States and Canada. The mfddleweight throne had been vacant for several years, since the retirement of Mike Donovan. Dempsey held it until 1889, when he was knocked out by George LaBlancne. Young Mitchell claimed the honor after whipping the Marine, but the title was generally considered to have reverted to Dempsey, who lost it to F'itzsimmons- When Ruby Rob entered the heavyweight division, the title was claimed by Dan Creedon, the Australian.< who was defeated by Kid Mccoy. Tommy Ryan also claimed the championship, but Mccoy had the clearest title. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Jack (Twin) Sullivan, and others, were in the 1imelight for a time. Stanley Ketchel and Billy Papke<then forged to the front Since KetchePs death in 1910 there have been dozen claimants, with Mike Gibbons now the favorite in g. big field.
